Elder Liu did not know if he would be able to endure it if he really had to go through something like this again.
“Uncle Ah Biao is awake, but the remaining poison in his body has not been completely removed. I will check on him tomorrow, and only then will I know how to treat him later,” Chen Meng’er said. “Oh right, Grandpa, have you eaten breakfast?” She remembered that she had asked the kitchen to make medicinal cuisine for Elder Liu.
“Not yet. I didn’t see any of you when I came here, so I came here. Ah, I’m getting old. I’ve gotten used to having a girl like you accompany me to eat all these years. Now whenever it’s time to eat, I don’t have much of an appetite if I don’t see you,” Elder Liu said with a smile, Elder Liu’s depressed mood was much better now that Ah Biao had woken up.
“That’s great. Let’s go have something to eat together. I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare medicinal cuisine. Grandpa, you should eat more later.” Chen Meng’er supported Elder Liu as they walked towards the dining hall.
As they walked, Chen Meng’er started chatting with Elder Liu. “Grandpa, do you know anything about Dr. Lin in the Japanese branch of the Green Gang?” Chen Meng’er asked.
“Ah, Dr. Lin. I know him. His medical skills are pretty good,” Elder Liu replied. After he finished answering, he reacted. “Girl, why are you suddenly asking about Dr. Lin? Could it be related to your Uncle Ah Biao being poisoned?”
“I originally had such a guess, but after looking into it, we found out that this matter has nothing to do with Dr. Lin. I want to ask you, do you know what kind of relationship Dr. Lin has with Uncle Skinny?” Chen Meng’er said very honestly.
“Dr. Lin and Uncle Skinny. Hehe, so this is what you wanted to ask. You really found the right person to ask this. I’m the only one who knows anything about this.” Elder Liu showed off to Chen Meng’er with a mysterious look. Elder Liu was becoming more and more like a child with each passing day.
“Then, Grandpa, tell me about it,” Chen Meng’er pulled Elder Liu’s arm and said coquettishly.
“About that, don’t you think that Skinny looks a little similar to Dr. Lin?” Elder Liu did not answer directly.
“What?” Chen Meng’er really did not notice. All this time, her mind was filled with Ah Biao’s illness, and she did not look at Dr. Lin’s face at all. “Grandpa, Dr. Lin can’t be related to Uncle Skinny, right? That’s not right. If I remember correctly, Uncle Skinny is an orphan.”
“It’s true that Skinny is an orphan. Back then, I was the one who went to the orphanage to personally bring him back. But… Dr. Lin is actually related to Skinny by blood. Dr. Lin is Skinny’s biological brother.” Although Chen Meng’er had this suspicion in her heart, when she heard her grandfather tell her this news, she could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
“Grandpa, you mean Uncle Skinny found his biological parents? Then why did his parents throw him into the orphanage?” Chen Meng’er asked in surprise,
“It wasn’t his parents who threw him into the orphanage. It’s a long story.” Elder Liu said with a sigh.
“Then you can make it short.” Chen Meng’er looked at her grandfather anxiously. She was eager to know the answer.
“Skinny was kidnapped by human traffickers. At that time, he was still young, about three years old. He went out to play with his brother, but his brother thought he was too young and was in the way, so he always tried to avoid him. It just so happened that the day before his brother left, a human trafficker came and kidnapped him. That human trafficker was also unlucky. After kidnapping Skinny, he was prepared to sell him for a good price. However, he was one step too late and was caught. Skinny could not remember where his home was, so he was sent to an orphanage.” Elder Liu organized his words.
“Then, how did he meet Dr. Lin?” Chen Meng’er had many questions.
“Oh, that was really quite a coincidence. When he was out on a mission, he was injured. In Japan, he didn’t dare to go to a big hospital. Instead, he found a small clinic nearby.”
When Elder Liu said this, he was interrupted by Chen Meng’er. “Oh, I know. That small clinic happened to be run by Dr. Lin, right?”
“Yes, you guessed right. At that time, Skinny didn’t notice anything. On the other hand, Dr. Lin thought that he looked familiar at first glance. Because of what happened back then, Dr. Lin had always felt guilty. He hadn’t given up on finding his younger brother for so many years. So, when Dr. Lin thought that Skinny looked familiar, he remembered him. He took Skinny’s blood and did a paternity test. The results of the test proved that Skinny was his lost younger brother. Back then, when Dr. Lin came to find me and told me about this matter, I was also very surprised. Of course, when Skinny learned of this, his reaction was even more intense. He did not believe Dr. Lin’s words at all and even chased Dr. Lin out.” As he said this, Elder Liu could not help but sigh.
“Then how did Dr. Lin become the exclusive doctor of the Green Gang?” Chen Meng’er asked.
“After being chased out by Skinny, Dr. Lin came to the Green Gang a few times, but Skinny avoided him every time. Coincidentally, at that time, the Japanese branch of the Green Gang was in need of a doctor, so Dr. Lin came to me to recommend himself to fill that position. Dr. Lin’s medical skills were really good. He’s more than capable of fulfilling the position of the exclusive doctor of the Green Gang. Moreover, I’m completely at ease with Dr. Lin’s identity. More importantly, I still hoped that Skinny would be able to let go of the knot in his heart, so I kept Dr. Lin. But alas, Skinny’s temper is really too much. He has always been very against Dr. Lin.”
“Actually, grandpa, maybe Uncle Skinny is not as against Dr. Lin as he appears to be.” Chen Meng’er smiled mischievously at Elder Liu.
