After the divorce, my identity as a miracle doctor was exposed.

Chapter 5 This slap landed on the face of this world.

The following day at noon, at Caesars Palace Hotel.

As Jiangzhou's most exclusive money pit, the parking lot today resembled a luxury car show. To celebrate the upcoming cooperation with the billion-dollar conglomerate "Longteng Group," the Su family invited almost half of Jiangzhou's celebrities.

A taxi stopped at the magnificent gate.

Lin Yu, dressed in a cheap, off-the-rack jacket, got out of the car. Despite the inexpensive clothes, after a night of training, his spirit and energy were like a hidden sword, though its sharpness was invisible to the average person.

"Hey, it's not even past midnight yet, how come a beggar is already at the door?"

A sharp, sarcastic voice broke the silence.

The mother-in-law, Zhao Huilan, stood in the doorway, wearing a bright red velvet cheongsam and a large pearl necklace around her neck, her face full of menace. She was peeling pine nuts and casually spat the shells at the feet where Lin Yu had just stood.

"Lin Yu, didn't I have Qianxue send you a message last night telling you to get lost? What, you're broke and trying to mooch off our Su family's annual party buffet?"

Zhao Huilan fanned herself with her hand in disgust, as if Lin Yu carried some kind of infectious virus.

Lin Yu glanced down at the pine nut shells on his shoes, his face expressionless. "According to the agreement, I'm here today to pick up my divorce certificate. I'll leave after I get it."

"Get the certificate?"

At this moment, the crowd parted, and Zhang Hao walked out arm in arm with Su Qianxue.

Today, Su Qianxue was breathtakingly beautiful. Her black backless evening gown accentuated her aloof queen-like aura. However, at this moment, the look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yu was filled with deep disappointment and impatience.

"Lin Yu, did you have to come and cause trouble at this time?"

Su Qianxue sighed, released Zhang Hao's hand, and took out a pre-filled check from her exquisite handbag.

"I know you're resentful and don't want to starve to death on the streets. Here's 500,000. For you right now, that's a huge sum. Take the money, leave Jiangzhou, and never let anyone know you were once the son-in-law of the Su family."

Su Qianxue handed over the check, her tone carrying an air of condescending charity, "Let's leave each other with some dignity, okay?"

The surrounding guests, who were watching the spectacle, burst into laughter.

"Tsk tsk, he was penniless when he married into the family five years ago, but now he's divorced and can still earn 500,000. He really got his money's worth!"

"If it were me, I would kneel down and take it. Many people struggle for ten years and still can't save 500,000."

Lin Yu looked at the flimsy piece of paper and suddenly smiled.

"Su Qianxue, after three years of marriage, in your eyes, is my dignity only worth 500,000?"

"Not enough?" Su Qianxue frowned, her eyes instantly turning cold. "Lin Yu, a person should know their own limitations. You have nothing but strength! Don't be greedy!"

"It's your Su family that's insatiable!"

Lin Yu's eyes turned cold, and he abruptly waved his hand.

Snapped!

The check for 500,000 yuan was slapped away by Lin Yu and landed on the dirty doormat covered in footprints by the door, instantly soaked in mud.

"My dignity is something your Su family can't afford! Don't even mention 500,000, even 5 billion, anything I don't want is trash!"

The entire room fell silent.

No one expected that this useless son-in-law would dare to slap the Su family in public.

"You bastard!"

Zhang Hao finally saw his chance to shine. He stepped forward, pointed at Lin Yu's nose, and cursed, "You shameless bastard! The Su family has raised you for three years, and now you dare to yell at Qian Xue? Men! Seize this piece of trash! Break his leg and throw him out!"

Whoosh!

The seven or eight black-clad bodyguards who had been waiting nearby instantly surrounded them, each holding a rubber roller and looking menacing.

Zhao Huilan clapped her hands gleefully from the side: "That's right! Good son-in-law, give him a good beating! Let him know what the rules of a wealthy family are!"

Just as the stick was about to strike Lin Yu, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the true energy within his dantian surged to his fingertips—

"Stop!! I'd like to see who dares to touch Mr. Lin!!"

A furious roar, filled with immense authority and urgency, came from the inside of the hall.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of important figures escorting an elderly man in a Tang suit as he hurried over. The old man walked very fast, even a little unsteadily; he was none other than Li Changqing, a leading figure in Jiangzhou's traditional Chinese medicine community!

"Old Li?"

Zhang Hao was taken aback, then overjoyed.

This is a distinguished guest whom the Su family specially invited today. If Old Master Li can come, the Su family's status will rise to another level!

Zhang Hao quickly straightened his clothes, put on a fawning smile, and went to greet him, not even caring about Lin Yu.

"Oh, Elder Li! Your presence is truly an honor for the Su family..."

Zhang Hao reached out his hands to shake hands.

However, Li Changqing didn't even glance at him. He simply sidestepped and bumped into Zhang Hao, who was blocking his way, causing him to stumble. He then rushed straight towards Lin Yu, who was surrounded by bodyguards.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone.

This medical luminary, who usually commanded respect even from the capital, bowed deeply to Lin Yu, his tone extremely respectful.

"Mr. Lin! I'm late, and these blind bastards have disturbed you. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

boom!

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in the crowd.

Su Qianxue covered her mouth in disbelief, and Zhao Huilan was so frightened that she dropped the pine nuts she was holding onto the ground.

"Mr. Li... Mr. Li? What are you doing?" Zhang Hao rubbed his shoulder, which was sore from the impact, his mind blank.

Li Changqing completely ignored the reactions of those around him. He excitedly pulled a document bag from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yu with both hands: "Sir! This is the transfer agreement for the 50% stake in Huichuntang that I promised you yesterday, and... and also a list of some rare medicinal herbs that I prepared for you overnight. Please accept these! Consider it my way of thanking you for saving my life!"

Half of Huichuntang's shares!

Worth hundreds of millions!

"My God... when did this good-for-nothing become a miracle doctor?"

"Even Old Li bowed to him, does he really have some extraordinary abilities?"

The surrounding guests were instantly in an uproar, their eyes filled with awe and doubt as they looked at Lin Yu.

Looking at Lin Yu's calm and composed expression, Su Qianxue suddenly felt a huge sense of panic: Could it be that she had really misjudged him in the past three years?

Lin Yu remained calm and casually took the file bag: "Okay, I'll take it. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

"Yes! Yes!" Li Changqing felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

Just as Lin Yu's aura was about to overwhelm the entire audience and completely turn the tables—

"Wait! Don't let him fool you, everyone!"

A sharp scream broke the tense atmosphere.

Zhang Hao suddenly burst into laughter like a madman. He pointed at Lin Yu, a ferocious expression of sudden realization on his face.

"Hahaha! I remember now! I knew this plot looked familiar!"

Zhang Hao rushed up to Li Changqing. Although he dared not disrespect the old man, his tone was very firm:

"Old Li! Have you been fooled by this young man? Do you think he used some kind of 'miracle acupuncture' to revive that old lady at the hospital yesterday?"

Li Changqing was taken aback, his brows furrowing: "How did you know?"

"Because it's fake!"

Zhang Hao looked around smugly and said loudly, "Wang Jianguo, the director of the emergency department at the First Municipal Hospital yesterday, he's my buddy! He called me last night!"

"The truth is—Director Wang gave the patient two injections of imported, high-potency adrenaline! That's a miracle drug! He'd just saved the patient when this kid rushed in and started randomly injecting things! And by sheer luck, the patient woke up! Old Li, you arrived too late to see the initial resuscitation efforts and were fooled by this kid's quack trick!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

The initial awe towards Lin Yu vanished almost entirely, replaced by even more intense contempt.

"So you were trying to steal the credit?"

"I knew it! How could a good-for-nothing suddenly become a miracle doctor!"

"This kid is incredibly audacious to even deceive a titan like Elder Li!"

Zhang Hao got more and more agitated as he spoke, pointing at Lin Yu and yelling, "Lin Yu, you're shameless! You took credit for someone else's work and cheated Old Master Li out of his shares? That's fraud! You'll go to jail!"

Li Changqing was so angry his beard trembled: "Bullshit! I've been practicing medicine for fifty years, do you think I can't even see this? You actually believe what that quack Wang Jianguo says?"

"Old Li, you're a kind man, you don't know how treacherous people can be!" Su Qianxue stepped forward, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Lin Yu, her voice brimming with disappointment. "Lin Yu, I initially thought you were just incompetent, but I never imagined you'd become so morally corrupt. Are you trying to use Old Li's connections to take revenge on the Su family? You disgust me!"

With the "officially verified" insider information, the Su family instantly felt more confident.

Zhao Huilan, now fully energized, jumped up and down, yelling, "I knew it! Quick! Arrest this fraudster! If we give him half the shares, how can our Su family continue to cooperate with Huichuntang?"

Facing universal condemnation.

Li Changqing was so anxious that his face turned red, and he was about to lash out.

Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand and gently patted Old Li's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

He looked at Zhang Hao, who was acting like a clown, and then at Su Qianxue, whose face was full of "sense of justice," and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish.

If I were to completely convince you now, the show that follows would become quite uninteresting.

"Zhang Hao, you have a very rich imagination."

Lin Yu dusted off the corner of his clothes, ignoring the gazes around him that seemed to want to devour him, and walked step by step to the main seat in the banquet hall.

That's a seat reserved for the most distinguished guests.

"If you want to call the police and have me arrested, you're welcome to do so anytime. But before that..." Lin Yu turned around, his eyes sweeping across the room like sharp blades, "I will sit here and watch how your Su family's so-called 'road to heaven' is cut off step by step."

"Arrogant! Still talking tough even when death is imminent!"

Zhang Hao was furious. "Security! What are you all standing there for? Throw this swindler out!"

Just as the security guards were preparing to take action again.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from the doorway.

A group of business professionals pushed open the door and lined up on both sides. A woman with a powerful aura and breathtaking beauty walked in, surrounded by admirers.

That's Liu Hongyan, the CEO of Longteng Group, known as the "Queen of Business" in Jiangzhou!

"Look! President Liu is here!"

"The real God of Wealth has arrived!"

Zhang Hao and Su Qianxue instantly forgot about Lin Yu. This was the real protagonist of the day!

Once the contract with Longteng Group is signed, the Su family will rise to prominence and crush Lin Yu, this "liar," as easily as crushing an ant!

"Qianxue! Quick! Come with me to greet President Liu!"
