Chapter 24: Unless She Doesn’t Want to Save

As the last key was pressed, the male teacher was stunned, the female teacher panicked, and the principal smiled smugly.

"This... Why, why can't I modify it?"

"Hahaha! Great!"

Shi Wan rubbed her forehead. "Teacher, I volunteered to study archaeology."

Actually, to prevent some people from making trouble, only she could change her major, or someone with better skills than her.

"But you..."

"Hey, Teacher Qing, what do you mean?"

The female teacher was dissatisfied.

Teacher Qing was reluctant but had no choice.

The female teacher took Shi Wan's hand. "Don't worry. Although there are few students in our major, we are very united. If anyone dares to bully you at school, just complain!"

Shi Wan nodded. "Okay."

"Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay. Then you go ahead."

...

Shi Wan hadn't even walked out of the school gate when Old He chased after her, out of breath.

"Xiaowanwan, someone wants you to see a patient. Don't worry, everything has been negotiated."

"Okay."

She was quite short of money now. She just hoped that she wouldn't run into Shen Siyan, that money - gobbling beast, this time. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to afford to eat dirt.

Following Old He to the patient's house, there were artificial mountains and waters along the way, giving a strong sense of ancient architecture.

The patient was a middle - aged man who had fallen down the stairs and lost consciousness. The hospital said that he would probably become a vegetable. The family had invited many famous doctors, but none of them could cure him.

The maid led her and Old He all the way to the living room. In the main hall, an elegant and intellectual woman was sitting and waiting. When she saw them, she immediately stood up.

"Old He." Her gaze fell on Shi Wan. "Who is this?"

"She is the apprentice of my friend. Don't worry. Although she is an apprentice, her medical skills are definitely excellent and no less than her master's."

This was what they had discussed before coming. This family was different from the previous one. She didn't want to cause more trouble.

"I see. Then, then come with me."

Shi Wan could tell that the woman in front of her didn't trust her. But it was normal. Who didn't want a famous doctor?

The bedside was full of people. Almost the whole family was there. When they saw the three of them coming up, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the person behind.

They knew Old He, but wasn't there supposed to be a famous doctor?

Why couldn't they see anyone?

"Old He, is her master really unable to come?"

The lady hesitated.

Old He was a bit unhappy but didn't show it. "He has no time. Don't worry. With Wanwan here, the patient will definitely wake up."

"Okay... Well."

Anyway, things had come to this point. They might as well give it a try. Success or failure depended on this.

Shi Wan opened the door. "Don't let anyone in."

"Who is she?"

Someone asked as soon as Shi Wan went in.

"She is the apprentice of Cun Cun Jin."

Hearing this, a man immediately got angry. "An apprentice? We paid to invite a student? What's the logic? Old He, you're not deliberately deceiving us by finding someone to act, are you?"

Old He patiently said, "Of course not. Anyway, as long as she's here, the patient will be fine, unless she doesn't want to save him."

Just like the patient last time.

She didn't want the old man to suffer anymore, nor did she want the old man to be exploited.

Without Shi Wan, the old man must have passed away by now.

The last sentence made the man who was about to say something shut up.

Half an hour later, Shi Wan came out of the room. Her face was a bit pale, but she said something reassuring, "The patient is fine. The family has taken good care of him. If there are no accidents, he will wake up tomorrow."

"Tha..."

"Tomorrow? Are you stalling for time so you can run away?"

Just as everyone's faces were overflowing with joy, a voice came from the stairs. Then, a handsome man in a white suit with a gloomy face walked up with steady steps.

Shi Wan looked at him but didn't say a word.

The man continued, "You said you're the apprentice of the famous doctor Cun Cun Jin?"

"Is there a problem?"

"You're lying!" The man sneered. "Cun Cun Jin has never taken an apprentice. Who are you exactly?"

Then, he turned his gaze to the stunned Old He. "Old He, we understand that you're old and easy to be deceived, but you can't harm my father like this."

Old He's face flushed. "What are you talking about? I know exactly who she is. If she says the patient will wake up, he will!"

Everyone looked confused. They believed Old He, but this family wouldn't lie either. So...

"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"There's no misunderstanding. I have enough evidence to prove that she's not Cun Cun Jin's apprentice!"

Shi Wan had used up some of her spiritual energy, and her face looked bad. Her brows were full of impatience. "What do you want?"

"Call the police!"

Shi Wan: "...... Oh."

"And if my father suffers any damage, we won't only refuse to pay the medical expenses but also hold you accountable for attempted murder!"

"Then let's wait until tomorrow together."

As soon as she heard that not only would she not get paid but also might have to pay compensation and go to jail, Shi Wan got anxious.

Old He: "......"

He knew that this child was just afraid of having no money.

"Humph, who are you exactly?"

Shi Wan touched her nose. "Cun..."

"Even now you still dare to deceive us? If you're Cun Cun Jin's apprentice, I'll kneel down and call you master!"

Shi Wan's face darkened. "I don't want to take you as an apprentice."

Everyone: "......"

"So what if you say you have evidence to prove I'm not Cun Cun Jin's apprentice?"

The man thought she was crazy and talking nonsense. "Mom, call the police."

Old He got anxious. "If you do this again, I, an old man, won't agree!"

"Old He, she's a fraud!"

"She's not!" Old He protected her in front of him. "Even if it's poison, I'll eat it if she gives it to me."

Everyone: "......"

Was the old man poisoned and gone crazy?

"Yu Chen, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No. After my father had the accident, I sent someone to investigate Cun Cun Jin. Although I didn't find the person himself, I know everything I should and shouldn't know. I'm sure she's a fraud."

Shi Wan: "......"

Hehe.

Just as Shi Wan was about to speak, a girl ran up excitedly. "Mom, big brother, I found Cun Cun Jin!"

"Really?"

Sure enough, there was a middle - aged man following the girl. Everyone immediately surrounded him.

Old He was stunned. He stared blankly at Shi Wan. "Xiaowanwan, when did you change your gender?"

Shi Wan's face darkened. "Why don't you say that I suddenly got dozens of years older and made myself so ugly?"

Old He laughed awkwardly.

Everyone was crowding around the man. Suddenly, they noticed Shi Wan and Old He still standing there. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Sir, that young lady said she's your apprentice. I wonder if it's true?"

The man arrogantly glanced at Shi Wan. "I, Cun Cun Jin, have never taken anyone as an apprentice."

Hearing this, everyone understood.

It seemed that the little girl was really a fraud.

Shi Wan: "......"

Was it too late for her to change her name now?

"Mother, you've heard it. Call the police directly!"

"Yes, yes. I didn't expect Old He to collude with a fraud to deceive us."
