“How dare you threaten the Marquis?” Jiang Manni rebuked.
“Marquis, just kill him. Why waste words with someone like him?” Cai Wenshao said venomously.
The Marquis’s smile vanished at that moment. He said in a deep voice, “Boy, it seems you don’t know who you’re talking to unless I draw some blood!”
As the foremost figure in the Jiangnan Province entertainment industry, when had he ever been threatened like this? The Marquis was truly angered.
“Disappear, Yu Corporation!”
“And all of you, disappear too!”
The Marquis spoke as if it were a trivial matter. Dealing with Yu Corporation and Li Se, and the others, was merely a matter of speaking, in his opinion.
Yu Hai almost collapsed onto the ground. Was the enterprise he had strived for his entire life about to vanish just like that?
“Marquis, will you let me finish speaking?” Li Se, however, was calm.
“Do you have any last words?” The Marquis squinted.
Li Se said, “Your forehead is pale and the corners of your mouth are yellow; you are destined to die!”
Many people couldn’t help but look at the Marquis. It did seem as if Li Se were right, but no one believed him. Pale forehead, yellowing mouth corners – wasn’t he just a charlatan?
However, they failed to notice the change in the Marquis’s expression. Three days prior, he had consulted a fortune teller, and the fortune teller had said the exact same thing as Li Se.
Li Se paid no mind to the gazes of those around him and continued, “The Mingtang is a very important part of physiognomy; it can predict a person’s current fortunes and misfortunes. If the Mingtang appears pale and withered, and the area around the mouth turns yellow-black, it indicates impending death. You, however, should die from a critical illness.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Jiang Manni was almost at her limit. “Marquis, stop wasting your breath with him. This kind of person just spews utter rubbish!”
“How dare you curse the Marquis, truly…” Cai Wenshao said coldly, but he stopped mid-sentence.
The next moment, the Marquis suddenly clutched his chest, a look of pain on his face.
“Godfather!”
“Marquis…”
Everyone was shocked.
Just moments ago, Li Se had declared the Marquis a dead man, and now he looked as if he were truly dying.
“Save me…” The Marquis looked at Li Se and uttered the two words with difficulty.
“Godfather, I’ll call an ambulance right away!” Jiang Manni immediately made a call.
“I am a doctor!” A middle-aged man rushed out from the crowd. This gathering wasn’t just businessmen; there were also doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.
“Quick, save Godfather!” Jiang Manni shouted.
The man dared not delay and immediately began first aid on the Marquis. However, after a few minutes, he shook his head and said, “There’s no hope. He’s bound to die.”
“You useless fellow!” Jiang Manni cursed.
The man said with displeasure, “Even if the ambulance arrives, it will be too late. The Marquis had a heart attack. Without medication, no one can help.”
“I can cure him,” Li Se’s voice suddenly rang out.
“You?” The man glanced at Li Se dismissively. “What can you use to save him? If even I can’t save him, you should just give up. Wait for the ambulance.”
“As you said, waiting for the ambulance is waiting to die. Since he’s going to die anyway, what’s the harm in letting me take a look?” Li Se had initially intended to ignore the Marquis, but as a doctor, it was difficult for him to refuse to help someone in need.
“A joke. I’ve already declared him beyond saving, and you claim you can save him? Do you think you’re a miracle doctor?” the man said with displeasure.
Li Se could not be bothered with the man any longer. If he delayed further, the Marquis would surely die. He went to the Marquis’s side, crouched down, took out silver needles from his pocket, and swiftly inserted them into the Marquis’s cardiac region. Controlling the needles with his qi, he flicked and brushed them, their tails trembling continuously.
“Heh heh, still using Chinese medicine. This is simply torturing the Marquis. If this can save him, I’ll eat my own excrement,” the man sneered.
Jiang Manni looked at Li Se and roared, “If anything happens to the Marquis, you’ll pay with your life!”
“Cough cough…” Just then, the Marquis suddenly coughed violently. He, who had been on the brink of death, had miraculously recovered, gasping for air.
“How is this possible?” The man was greatly astonished.
“You can go eat your excrement now,” Li Se said with a smile.
The man’s face turned ugly. He truly hadn’t expected that Li Se’s few needles would save the Marquis. He couldn’t believe it.
The surrounding people looked at Li Se with different eyes. Just moments ago, Li Se had declared the Marquis a dead man, and they all thought Li Se wouldn’t see the next day. But in the blink of an eye, he had become the Marquis’s savior. This sudden turn of events left them struggling to adapt.
“Thank you!” The Marquis, naturally aware that Li Se had saved him, expressed his gratitude.
“Marquis, this has nothing to do with him,” the man from before suddenly stepped forward and said, “Do you really believe that a few needle pricks can bring about recovery? It must have been my initial first aid that took effect. That was all standard and effective first aid…”
“Take him to the restroom and make him eat his excrement!” The Marquis directly interrupted the man, clearly having heard his words when he had his heart attack.
“No, Marquis, please don’t! I don’t want to eat excrement…” The man struggled, but it was useless. The Marquis’s bodyguards had already dragged him towards the restroom.
Many people felt a shiver of disgust. If this fool hadn’t spoken out earlier, nothing would have happened. He had to court his own demise.
“Young miracle doctor, what should I call you?” The Marquis’s attitude towards Li Se had completely changed. He was now somewhat respectful.
“Li Se.”
“Divine Doctor Li, I apologize for my earlier offense.” The Marquis looked genuinely apologetic.
“Divine Doctor Li?”
“He’s that Divine Doctor Li?”
“It seems the news was true. He can really bring people back from the dead!”
…
Many people now knew Li Se’s identity, as there had been quite a bit of news about him a few days prior.
*Crack!*
At that moment, the Marquis slapped Jiang Manni hard and berated her, “Quickly apologize to Divine Doctor Li! What kind of person are you? You think Divine Doctor Li’s status is the same as yours, asking for an autograph? And you hit him when he didn’t give you one? What nonsense!”
Jiang Manni hadn’t expected the Marquis’s first act upon recovery to be scolding her. Her eyes welled up with tears from the slap. She could only apologize to Li Se, “I… I’m sorry!”
“You don’t need to apologize to me. Apologize to them!” Li Se had no good feelings for such big stars.
Jiang Manni walked up to Yu Yan and Lin Wenxiu and said, “I’m sorry. I’ll give you my autograph now, no, my autographed photo…”
Yu Yan interrupted her, “I don’t need it. You’re no longer my idol!”
Her idol had shattered moments ago. At this moment, Yu Yan even disliked Jiang Manni.
