Not far away, Lin Hu, who was chatting with others, turned grim as soon as he saw this scene and immediately walked towards Li Se.
Cheng Lu looked at Li Se mockingly and said with a smile, "Li Se, sneaking on board comes with a price. Did you think this cruise ship was something you could just board? Of course, if you begged me and Fei Ge, we might even save you from being thrown into the sea."
Jiang Fei pondered, "Hmm, for Lulu's sake, I can make a move. But the condition is you have to perform some acrobatics and make me happy. Otherwise, I won't lift a finger."
The surrounding crowd was watching the spectacle.
The security personnel stared coldly at Li Se. As long as Li Se couldn't prove how he got on board, they would directly take action and throw him into the sea.
"Perform acrobatics for you?"
Lin Hu had already arrived beside Li Se. He looked coldly at Cheng Lu and Jiang Fei and said, "Master Li is someone I invited. What, does he have to perform acrobatics for you to stay on this cruise ship?"
As Lin Hu's voice fell, many people were surprised. The people on this cruise ship were all influential figures, and they all knew Lin Hu's identity.
"Is that... Lin Hu, the president of the Black Dragon Society?"
"It really is him. This delivery guy was brought by him? My heavens, what kind of rotten luck did this kid have to know Lin Hu!"
"Then this means he didn't sneak on board."
"..."
Everyone was extremely surprised. The status of the president of the Black Dragon Society was even more distinguished than that of most of them. They just didn't expect that this young man, labeled as a delivery person and an ex-convict, was brought by Lin Hu.
"President Lin, he's someone you brought?" Jiang Fei's expression couldn't help but change.
"Not that I brought him, but a master I invited!" Lin Hu said with a dark expression. "You guys have some nerve, daring to ask someone I invited to perform tricks for you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was greatly astonished. It turned out that it was indeed the president of the Black Dragon Society who brought him up, and judging by his tone, he was incredibly respectful. This was enough to show that Li Se's identity was not simple.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Jiang Fei's forehead. He quickly said, "President Lin, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
"Apologize!" Lin Hu said sternly.
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Fei dared not hesitate in the slightest.
"I... I'm sorry." Cheng Lu, though very unwilling, had to apologize now that the president of the Black Dragon Society was backing Li Se.
"Keep your eyes open next time. Not everyone can be offended casually!" Lin Hu snorted coldly.
"Yes, President Lin, your teachings are correct." Jiang Fei's expression was very unsightly.
Lin Hu turned to look at Li Se and asked, "Master Li, are you satisfied with their apologies?"
"Just a couple of clowns," Li Se said indifferently.
"Master Li, come this way." Lin Hu felt he had to stay by Li Se's side.
"Lulu, what's going on?"
After Lin Hu and Li Se left, Jiang Fei, with a dark expression, felt his dignity somewhat wounded by having to apologize in front of everyone.
Cheng Lu said with some panic, "I... I don't know either. He really was a delivery guy, and he was in jail half a year ago. If he really had any capability, why would he have gone to jail? Why would he be forced to deliver food?"
She paused and then added, "He must have stepped on some dog-shit luck to have hooked up with President Lin. I really don't understand, what kind of ability does he have? I suspect President Lin is just using him!"
Jiang Fei snorted with displeasure, "If that's the case, then this kid won't have a good ending. From what I know, the last person President Lin used ended up losing his life."
"Fei Ge, what exactly does this Black Dragon Society do? Why do even you seem a bit wary of them?" Cheng Lu asked, somewhat confused. She knew Jiang Fei's background, and if even he was somewhat wary, then this Black Dragon Society was truly terrifying.
Jiang Fei whispered, "The Black Dragon Society is a force from Yunnan. It's rumored that there are many capable people within it. Did you see the man with a knife by President Lin's side just now? It's said he can single-handedly defeat over a hundred people!"
Cheng Lu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly smiled, "This Li Se, he really dares to try and curry favor. He probably won't live for much longer."
As for the wealthy guests on the cruise ship, what had just happened was merely a small interlude. Although many were still talking about it, it was just that.
The cruise ship soon arrived at an island named Taishan Island. There were many security personnel on the island, checking the identities of those arriving before letting them pass.
There were many luxurious buildings on the island. After a while, they took a vehicle on the island to one of the buildings, which was very large, like a castle.
"Please come in."
A middle-aged man stood at the entrance, welcoming everyone.
"Mr. Fang!"
"Mr. Fang!"
Everyone was extremely respectful to this middle-aged man.
According to Lin Hu's introduction, this Mr. Fang was the eldest son of Fang Zhengshan, Fang Jianhua, and the heir to the Fang family.
"I know the purpose of your visit is also for a project of our Taishan Group. However, my old man isn't in very good health recently, so this project will have to be postponed. We can discuss cooperation on this project when he feels better," Fang Jianhua said indifferently.
"Mr. Fang, I've specifically invited a medical professor to come and see how Elder Fang is doing," a man said as he stepped forward.
When Lin Hu saw this man, his expression changed slightly: "Zhao Ying of Tianying Group, the biggest competitor of my Hailong Group, and also a competitor of my Black Dragon Society!"
After Zhao Ying finished speaking, a foreigner with curly yellow hair walked out. He spoke fluent Chinese, saying, "Mr. Fang, I am Henry. There is no disease I cannot conquer. Entrust Elder Fang to me, and there will be absolutely no problem."
Fang Jianhua nodded slightly and was about to say something.
Lin Hu immediately interjected, "Mr. Fang, with the Fang family's capabilities, they should have invited many such medical professors over the years. Even if this Henry is famous, I don't think he has any solutions. Therefore, I suggest traditional Chinese medicine."
Upon hearing the words "traditional Chinese medicine," many people were surprised. In fact, many people did not really believe in traditional Chinese medicine, as it had declined. They did not expect Lin Hu to bring up traditional Chinese medicine at this moment.
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Henry was startled, then shook his head and smiled, "Sir, how can traditional Chinese medicine compare to Western medicine? Our Western medicine can achieve true root treatment. From what I understand, traditional Chinese medicine focuses more on conditioning, and conditioning is a long process. Are you planning to spend a decade or twenty years treating Elder Fang?"
"Yes, although we are all Chinese, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed like that."
"Treating with traditional Chinese medicine feels like there's not much hope."
"Unless a imperial physician from the capital comes, there might be a glimmer of hope."
"Why does President Lin still believe in traditional Chinese medicine? I don't understand his thinking."
"..."
Many people were discussing animatedly, their words demeaning traditional Chinese medicine.
"Heh!" Li Se chuckled at this moment. "That's because you are ignorant to think that traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure diseases. In reality, traditional Chinese medicine is far more powerful than Western medicine!"
