District Chief Li respectfully opened the car door for Lin Fan, waiting to usher him out.
"Divine Doctor Lin, this is my humble abode. We are very grateful for your visit. My father is inside, please follow me." District Chief Li spoke with great respect.
Having witnessed Lin Fan saving Secretary Ma firsthand, District Chief Li was thoroughly impressed by Lin Fan's medical skill. It's very possible that Lin Fan is the family's only hope—not possible, but fundamentally, he is indeed the only hope.
Could he not regard Lin Fan highly? He was afraid that any minor offense might upset Lin Fan, leading him to refuse making a house call, which would be disastrous.
Lin Fan was not too concerned about District Chief Li's attempts to ingratiate himself. He agreed to treat Elder Li out of respect for Secretary Ma, who mentioned that Elder Li was a soldier with meritorious war service, which Lin Fan respected.
Lin Fan got out of the car and said, "Alright."
