After being prompted, Grandma hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Yao'er, when a family is in trouble, they should help each other. Why don't you ask your second uncle for help? How can you keep hiding from your debt collectors?"
Lin Yao felt a pang of disappointment when he saw that his grandmother still blindly followed his grandfather and second uncle's arrangements and was still trying to persuade him by using family ties. It seemed that his grandmother's concern for his father and him was only superficial. Under his grandfather's tyranny for many years, she could only support his family spiritually, just like before.
"Grandma, don't worry, our financial problem will be solved soon. A big boss is willing to help us. We only have a few days to hide from our debts, so nothing will happen." Lin Yao had no choice but to make up an excuse.
"How can you expect to get funding from others? Shouldn't you prioritize your own family in this kind of situation? Huarentang Group is, after all, surnamed Luo, and they won't let you suffer losses. There are many traps waiting for you to fall into these days." Luo Shijie was a little anxious and immediately objected to Lin Yao's words, even tugging at his grandmother.
Seeing that his grandmother was about to speak again, Lin Yao immediately interrupted her, "That big boss is patriotic. He doesn't need to repay the money, and he doesn't take any shares. It's purely a donation. Can Huarentang Group do it? If so, I would like to warmly welcome him on behalf of my parents. Remember, it's a pure donation, without any conditions attached."
Luo Shijie's expression changed, and he looked at Lin Yao with complicated eyes. He had never been so embarrassed in front of this cousin before, and his mood became chaotic. He wished he could grab Lin Yao by the neck and force him to agree to his conditions.
"Grandma, it's time for dinner. Why don't you stay for a simple meal? I'll ask my sister-in-law to prepare something, but there's nothing fancy. Please make do with what you have." Lin Yao ignored Luo Shijie's emotions; he only wanted to take good care of his grandmother.
Grandma glanced at Luo Shijie beside her and then said, "No, your grandpa is still waiting for me to come home for dinner. Why don't you come with me?"
"Grandma, I have a lot of things to do here, so I won't come over today. I'll come see you when I have time later." Lin Yao stood up, took a bottle of health pills from the trinkets, and handed it to his grandmother. "Grandma, these are health pills that we made ourselves. They are more effective than those from the group. We only made a few bottles. Remember to take them on time every day."
After seeing Grandma off, Lin Yao checked on Nannan. The missing inner wall and valve of her heart were in stable condition and showed signs of healing. The little girl's complexion also improved slightly, allowing the whole family to finish dinner in a joyful atmosphere.
"Brother, do you think there's anything we can do to help? You're all so busy, and we're the only ones with free time. Let's find something for each other to do." After dinner, Ge Yong stopped Lin Yao, who was about to leave. He really wanted to do something to help his benefactors.
"Big brother, just take good care of Nannan. You can't get involved in things here for now. I'll definitely let you know if I need your help in a while." Lin Yao was touched by the sincerity in Ge Yong and Alina's eyes. This family was truly honest and kind. "Oh, by the way, what are you mainly good at? Tell me so I can make arrangements when I need your help in the future."
Ge Yong felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lin Yao's question. He really didn't have any expertise in local affairs. He had just said he would help, but now he felt guilty after being asked this question. "Brother, I'm ashamed. Apart from having some brute strength, I don't know anything else. I might be able to be a bodyguard or something, but other than that, all I know how to do is eat and drink for free. Your sister-in-law can only cook, so she really can't help much. You guys basically don't eat at home. This place has become our home."
"It's alright, brother. We'll be troubling you and your wife a lot in the future. You should stay here while you're busy. We'll discuss things further after we're done with this busy period. I think Nannan really likes Chengdu, so we can settle down here in the future." Lin Yao comforted Ge Yong. He really liked this little sister and was reluctant to see the family leave. He would think of a solution later; he had to be busy now.
With that in mind, Lin Yao went into his cramped storage room and turned on his computer.

Lin Yao habitually logged into his usual QQ account, only to have his computer crash due to the flood of historical messages and friend requests. After patiently waiting for more than ten minutes, he set QQ to disallow friend requests on his suddenly slowed-down computer and then logged out of the QQ account.
Just kidding, he didn't want to abandon this QQ account yet; its friends were all deadly scholars, experts, and professors. He opened the temporary account he'd registered after this angelic descent, and several messages appeared on the screen.
“Teacher Angel, I think there might be a misunderstanding. Please let me explain…” Attorney Li Hao’s message was quite long, and Lin Yao rarely read it. He replied directly, “I have already learned what happened from the contact person. This matter is entirely handled by the contact person. Please do not continue to communicate about this matter. It’s better if we meet again in the future. Keep in touch, goodbye!”
Lin Yao was quite satisfied with Li Hao's professional competence and had a good impression of him after meeting him in person. He planned to keep in touch, even if it was just to have another legal friend online.
The new number only had five friends, and the old number had too much information, so Lin Yao didn't bother to look at it. He continued to open the "Medical Forum" as usual. This time, he used a newly registered pseudonym. If everyone knew that Angel was online, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
The forum's structure has changed, with a new "Hot Topics" section. The two topics in this section are the exorbitant fees charged by angels and the medical and pharmacological discussions of drought-resistant functional drinks. Such a professional forum will certainly not have its academic research and discussion environment affected by any unexpected event. Lin Yao admires the forum's management team. It is precisely because of their professional knowledge and dedication that the "Medical Forum" can maintain its high standards and value.
Lin Yao naturally only browsed the "Hot Topics" section; he couldn't concentrate on browsing other specialized sections at all. Suddenly, a post seeking a miracle doctor caught his attention. Although this post, which was second only to the discussions about angels and disaster relief drinks, wasn't pinned by the moderator, it was still pushed to the top of the list by numerous replies.
Upon clicking on the post, Lin Yao's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a surge of resentment.
The post was published by a newly registered user named "Family Seeking Help for Critically Ill Patient." The more Lin Yao read, the more alarmed he became, realizing that things were getting serious.
The "Family Seeking Help for a Critically Ill Patient" post describes an unexpected encounter with a young, seemingly miraculous doctor in Chengdu. Under this doctor's care, a critically ill myocardial infarction patient was brought back from the brink of death after just two short treatments, and subsequent tests showed the patient's cardiovascular disease was completely cured and progressing towards full recovery. The post then abruptly shifts to a plea for help from the medical community to locate this doctor, as another critically ill family member urgently needs assistance.
The comments that followed were either surprised by the gold needle technique described by the original poster, or completely disbelieving that such a miraculous ancient medical technique existed in the world, or they were just posting irrelevant content, and some even joked that "family members of critically ill patients should seek help" and spend money to find the "angel teacher".
One of the replies was from someone Lin Yao knew, "Yue Qiqiu," who replied, "Please respect personal privacy and do not post other people's photos without permission." This reply made Lin Yao realize that things were serious.
The content of the post wouldn't have normally angered Lin Yao so much; as long as he didn't show himself, the other party wouldn't be able to find him. What truly alarmed Lin Yao was that the post included a photo of the "miracle doctor" they were looking for. Although the photo was blocked by the forum administrators, Lin Yao knew it was definitely his own picture, because Professor Yue Qiqiu's reply confirmed that he had recognized him from the photo. Thinking back carefully, he guessed it was an image captured from the surveillance footage of West China Hospital.
Lin Yao didn't know how long the photo had been publicly displayed on the forum, nor did he know if the person seeking help had posted the same thing on other websites. But even just posting the photo on the "Medical Forum" was enough to make him feel unacceptable and angry. This person was just too unruly!
Besides his mother Lin Hongmei, only the patient's family knew that he had treated Duan Hanyuan. Moreover, only Duan Qing, Xia Yuwen, and the onlookers at Wangjiang Tower witnessed him administering acupuncture. Those who knew about the patient's condition and subsequent treatment were limited to Xia Yuwen, Duan Qing, and their relatives. Therefore, the identity of the person who posted "Family Seeking Help for Critically Ill Patient" immediately became clear. It was unlikely that Duan Qing was the one who posted it; after all, Duan Qing's demeanor and authority had left a deep impression on Lin Yao, and he didn't believe the other party would do something so unconventional. That left only Xia Yuwen.
Lin Yao was in a terrible mood, his heart filled with anger. Out of kindness, he and his mother, Lin Hongmei, got out of the car to help the patient with emergency treatment. At his mother's request, he left a business card. Because of his mother's eyes and Xia Yuwen's crying on the phone, he went back to the hospital to give the patient a thorough treatment.
He didn't ask for any conditions or returns for all of this. He even spent a lot of energy and money to gather the medicinal energy from the grass. What did he get in return? Greed and insatiable demands.
Lin Yao understood the other party's urgent desire to treat the patient in their family, but he still couldn't accept this behavior that completely disregarded others.
From the beginning, Lin Yao showed an intention to conceal his identity. Originally, as someone destined to be with Duan Hanyuan, Lin Yao was willing to follow up on Duan Hanyuan's condition. However, Duan Qing's behavior made him change his mind. This family had a powerful background, and dealing with them was inappropriate. That's why he immediately changed his phone number after curing Duan Hanyuan. He believed in his medical skills; Duan Hanyuan's illness was unlikely to have any problems, and West China Hospital itself had an excellent medical environment and a large number of experts.
Lin Yao had already experienced the energy of Xia Yuwen's home once. When Liu Congsheng threatened him, he realized that the people Liu Congsheng was talking about were Xia Yuwen and the others, because that number had only been used to contact a few people. Lin Yao was quite at ease with the other three scholars. Since Liu Congsheng could threaten him, it meant that he hadn't leaked any secrets. Originally, Lin Yao thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect the other party to use such a vicious tactic as online doxing.
"I have to do something, these people are going too far!" Lin Yao thought through gritted teeth, feeling somewhat frustrated because he didn't know anything about the other party's identity, except for the names Xia Yuwen and Duan Qing.
After much deliberation, Lin Yao still couldn't find a good solution. Unwilling to give up, he decided to take vicious revenge on Xia Yuwen.
Using the rudimentary hacking skills he had learned online, Lin Yao used a pre-set foreign botnet as a springboard to access dating and travel websites, register an alias named "Xiaoyu," and then post escort services information.
"Xiaoyu, 20 years old, graduated from a prestigious university with a major in entertainment, provides travel companion services for travelers nationwide. The basic price is 300 yuan/day, with food, accommodation, transportation, and entrance fees paid by the client. A wide range of services are available, and prices will be negotiated separately according to the client's needs. A recent photo of myself is attached. If interested, please contact: 138XXXXXXXX, contact person: Xiaoyu."
Lin Yao found a stunning profile picture of a beautiful woman online. She had a fantastic figure, but her face was obscured by her long hair. Looking at this tempting photo, Lin Yao felt a little better. Since Xia Yuwen was trying to disrupt his life, he would give her a taste of her own medicine.
After posting the same information on several websites, Lin Yao shut down his computer and began preparing to brew medicine. It was inconvenient to go out to buy things at night, so now he had to use some Chinese medicinal herbs to brew something that could change his skin tone. It would be best to make some dark spots and freckles that people would not want to look at at a glance, so as not to be recognized.
Ge Yong, who was bored at home all day, came out when he heard a noise coming from the living room. He saw Lin Yao with a lot of bottles and jars, as if he was preparing some kind of Chinese medicine. However, he found it strange that Lin Yao would apply those colorful medicines to the back of his hands every time.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Ge Yong's curiosity finally overcame his composure.
"Big brother, I'm trying to concoct a potion that can change skin color for disguise, but I don't have enough ingredients at home, so I can't seem to get it right." Lin Yao felt a little discouraged. He was worried that he would be doxxed as soon as he went out tomorrow. Who knew how many websites that wicked girl had posted her photos on?
