Chapter 342: Little Fish Doctor

This behavior of getting to the bottom of things is naturally not wrong.

He promptly discovering problems around him not only ensures Lin Zhen won’t miss any suspicious points, but also allows…

But the key is, what time is it now?

Catching Chatosi is what he needs to race against the Saints’ Hand Society assassins to see who can do it first.

Is it that important? Zi Jiu is right. Is the strangeness of this stranger Leng Xiaoyu really that important?

Anyway, she can’t be a member of the Saints’ Hand Society.

That’s enough. Lin Zhen suppressed his curiosity about Leng Xiaoyu and turned his attention back to how to convince Leng Xiaoyu.

After a little thought, he agreed with Zi Jiu’s idea.

When dealing with kind people, exchanging sincerity for sincerity is definitely right.

And if things go smoothly, maybe they can use Leng Xiaoyu to establish a connection with the Shell Clan Security Bureau.

They and the Security Bureau already have the same goal.

Moreover, what they need is the intelligence in Chatosi’s head, while the Security Bureau wants the person. They can definitely cooperate.

The reason they didn’t prioritize cooperation before was mainly because Lin Zhen was worried that their status was unequal, and they might be ignored or rejected by the Security Bureau.

Then their intention for coming to Shell Star would be exposed, and even their tourist identity might not work anymore.

“The new character feels like a motherly type of woman.”

“Big-chested mature woman in a white coat, wearing white stockings and heels!”

“Slobber slobber slobber.”

Luoding City, inner city district, Third Avenue. The moon sets, the sun rises.

The first ray of sunlight on Shell Star fell from the east, illuminating the sign above the entrance of a four-story building by the street.

Five Imperial characters pieced together from colorful shells sparkled — Little Fish Clinic.

This was a small clinic given free of charge to Leng Xiaoyu two years ago by a local aristocrat in gratitude for saving his life.

Of course, there was some intention to tie this amazingly skilled human doctor down to this place.

But she really stayed in this small town for two years afterward.

And every week she set aside two days for free clinics for ordinary people in the city.

But it wasn’t just because of this small clinic anymore.

“If Miss Little Fish wanted to leave, she could have left long ago. Back then, a wealthy man spent thousands to invite her to Crab Capital, but she didn’t agree.”

“The reason she didn’t leave is because she really can’t bear to abandon those ordinary people who can’t even afford to see a doctor!”

It was almost like preaching on the spot. A shabby old man raised his hands high with a pious expression as he spoke.

“That must be Miss Little Fish! An angel! Miss Little Fish is so kind! If there really is an angel in this world…”

The people around heard this and immediately raised their hands to echo.

“Some people even said Miss Little Fish is human and talked bad about her behind her back. So heartless! We are all Imperial citizens; we should help each other!”

“There is no one better than Miss Little Fish in this world!”

“This reputation is almost like a religion…”

Lin Zhen saw the citizens responding in unison and couldn’t help clicking his tongue in amazement.

When they arrived, the area outside the clinic was already bustling with citizens seeking medical treatment.

But they didn’t expect today was a free clinic day.

They thought they could meet Leng Xiaoyu as soon as the clinic opened, so they decided to probe the people around them while waiting for the clinic to open, to learn more about this divine doctor.

“Fish, such a big fish, tiger-striped shark.”

“girls help girls.”

“Fellow townsmen meet, tears streaming; then stab each other in the back.”

“Such a good reputation? Is she really a good person? I always feel this person will have a twist later.”

“Usually, a good person appearing at the beginning might indeed be fake.”

They didn’t wait long. At 7:00 local time, the wooden door of the four-story building creaked open precisely from the inside.

“Same as usual! Today is free clinic day. Emergency cases line up on the left, regular cases on the right. Left first, then right. One by one!”

A mature woman about thirty-something years old walked out.

Tall figure, delicate features, cool voice. She wore a white coat.

It had sporadic shell decorations, and her long legs in black stockings were faintly visible under the white coat.

‘Is this Leng Xiaoyu?’

Lin Zhen sized up the mature woman. Although her appearance was a bit different from what he imagined, it matched the description.

The rules of Little Fish Clinic had not changed in two years.

The citizens coming for treatment naturally knew them well.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd immediately split left and right into two lines, standing obediently on either side of the mature woman.

Whether they lined up or not didn’t matter. But this separation highlighted Lin Zhen and his three companions, who hadn’t moved yet.

They stood in the open space in front of the clinic, looking slightly confused and embarrassed, standing out conspicuously.

Leng Xiaoyu swept a glance over them. After thousands of years of genetic modification, aside from automatically growing carapace on their bodies when excited, the Carapace race looked no different from humans to the naked eye.

Plus, Lin Zhen and the others had changed into Carapace race clothing.

So she didn’t find it strange and assumed they were patients from another city, and said softly:

“Didn’t you hear clearly? Line up left and right according to urgency. You’ll get your turn.”

Lin Zhen exchanged glances with the others, then stepped forward.

“Doctor Leng, could we speak privately? We have an urgent matter to discuss with you.”

At this, Leng Xiaoyu immediately frowned and said:

“First, I am not Doctor Leng. I am Doctor Leng’s assistant and nurse, Lukasi. Second, no matter what background you have, today is clinic day. If you want to see a doctor, queue up properly according to the rules, or else you’ll be blacklisted.”

Although Lin Zhen felt embarrassed for mistaking her, his face remained unchanged as he said softly:

“Miss Lukasi, we are not here to see a doctor. We really have an urgent matter to discuss with Doctor Leng.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the emergency queue on the right.

“Could you please help us relay a message and arrange a suitable time?”

Lin Zhen could see that Lukasi disliked transactions involving power and money.

So he simply laid things out openly without hiding anything.

And sure enough. After hearing his words, Lukasi’s expression improved a bit. She nodded at him and said:

“I’ll ask Doctor Leng for you, but at the earliest, it should be after all the emergency patients have been seen. Is that okay?”

“No problem.”

Lin Zhen was overjoyed, quickly thanked her, and pulled Aili and the others back to the rear to wait for Lukasi’s notification.

The efficiency of the Little Fish Clinic was surprisingly high.

After Lukasi announced the start of the free clinic, the clinic had a constant stream of people entering and exiting.

The emergency queue on the right visibly shortened.

But relatively, the left queue grew longer and longer, soon stretching from the clinic entrance all the way to the end of the street.

They waited until noon, when the emergency queue still had a few people left.

Lukasi came out of the clinic, announced a half-hour lunch break, and then walked over to Lin Zhen and the others.

“Doctor Leng’s time is precious. She has agreed to give you ten minutes now.”
