Zhao Zhongtian naturally did not try to keep Li Se. The most important thing now was to check on Elder Qiao’s health. He had intended to pull out the silver needles, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not. After he performed a simple examination, he discovered that Elder Qiao’s condition had stabilized. He exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be because of these silver needles?"
He glanced at the spilled wine bottle and the blood on the ground, and immediately realized something. Elder Qiao must have secretly drunk alcohol, causing his lung cancer to act up and lead to spitting blood. It was that young man who had used silver needles to stabilize Elder Qiao’s condition.
"Dad, Dad..." At this moment, a middle-aged man hurried over, accompanied by several other people.
"Doctor Zhao, how is my father?" Qiao Guohua asked anxiously.
"Mr. Qiao, he is fine now," Zhao Zhongtian said with a smile. "I have already controlled Elder Qiao’s condition with acupuncture. He is temporarily out of danger, but these silver needles cannot be removed for now."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhao!" Qiao Guohua immediately filled out a check and said gratefully, "Here is five million. Please accept it, Doctor Zhao!"
Zhao Zhongtian excitedly accepted the five million. He truly owed a lot to that young man this time. Otherwise, if anything happened to Elder Qiao, he would be in serious trouble. However, he would not mention the young man.
"Alas, my father, I told him not to drink, but he insisted. If Doctor Zhao hadn't appeared in time, the old man might have lost his life," Qiao Guohua sighed.
"Mr. Qiao, that is my duty," Zhao Zhongtian said righteously.
Li Se was unaware that his credit had been claimed by someone else. After leaving the park and returning home, he saw Shen Long and Shang Zhifeng walking towards his residential complex.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shang?" Li Se asked, sounding a bit surprised.
"Miraculous Doctor Li," Shen Long said, striding over. "You left too hastily yesterday, and you haven't collected the twenty million consultation fee."
"No need," Li Se shook his head. This time, through treating him, he had gotten to know the imperial physician Sun Bai and had the mayor owe him a favor, which was enough. As for the twenty million consultation fee, it actually had nothing to do with Ding Peng. It was merely the wealthy individuals like Shen Long and Shang Zhifeng wanting to curry favor with Ding Peng.
"Miraculous Doctor Li, you must accept this money. After all, it is our token of appreciation," Shen Long said hurriedly.
Li Se still refused. "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shang, I know your intentions, but I cannot accept these twenty million. Also, I won't be inviting you in to sit, as I have other matters to attend to shortly."
After saying this, Li Se directly entered the residential complex, leaving Shen Long and Shang Zhifeng looking dejected.
"It seems Miraculous Doctor Li will not accept the money. Let's go. If we continue to pester him, it will only make Miraculous Doctor Li dislike us," Shang Zhifeng said, shaking his head.
Shen Long looked dejected. He had originally hoped to use these twenty million to get closer to Li Se, but it seemed that was truly difficult now.
After changing his clothes, Li Se went to Jiang Ranran’s home and gave Jiang Dashan another acupuncture treatment.
"Li Se, will my dad really be able to get out of bed then?" Jiang Ranran asked.
"Mm!" Li Se playfully flicked Jiang Ranran’s pretty nose. "Don't you trust me yet?"
"Li Se, thank you!" Jiang Ranran expressed her sincere gratitude. Since meeting Li Se, she felt that her life had gained more hope.
It was now lunchtime, and Li Se was preparing to take Jiang Ranran out to eat. However, as soon as they came out, they were blocked by someone. This person was none other than Zhu Kai, whom they had encountered that day. He was accompanied by several other people. Upon seeing Li Se beside Jiang Ranran, his face contorted with malice. He said, "You little brat, you dare to still pester my woman? I think you’re courting death!"
"Zhu Kai, who is your woman?" Jiang Ranran said angrily. "I don't like you at all. Li Se is my boyfriend!"
"Heh, it doesn't matter. Today, I want to see if this kid has thick skin or not. Attack!" Zhu Kai sneered.
Those few people immediately lunged at Li Se with cruel expressions.
Zhu Kai said triumphantly, "Ranran, I won't let any other man get close to you!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the men who had lunged at Li Se suddenly fell back, all of them collapsing at his feet, groaning in pain.
"This, this..." Zhu Kai couldn't help but tremble. He never expected Li Se to be so skilled.
"Slap!" Li Se moved three steps in quick succession to Zhu Kai's side and delivered a fierce slap to his face. "If I see you appearing near my girlfriend again, I will make you pay the price!"
"I dare not... I dare not..." Zhu Kai pleaded repeatedly.
"Take your men and get lost!" Li Se commanded.
Zhu Kai quickly took his men and left. However, after they were far away, he began to shout again, "You just wait, I won't let this go!"
Li Se ignored Zhu Kai and went to eat with Jiang Ranran. Since they had just started dating, they both wished they could spend all day together.
Time quickly passed, and it was already evening. Li Se was still with Jiang Ranran, but he was somewhat preoccupied because today was the forty-ninth day, meaning Chen Bin's processing plant would encounter an incident.
Meanwhile, at the processing plant.
Huayang had rearranged some of the machinery in the processing plant and some of the office layout for Chen Yongyan. By the time everything was done, it was evening. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, everything is basically safe now. That kid named Li Se, didn't he say something would happen today? The whole day is almost over, and nothing seems to have happened."
"That kid was just talking nonsense. How can he compare to Master Huayang?" Chen Yongyan smiled. In fact, he still paid some attention to Li Se's words, which was why he had stayed at the processing plant all day. But now that the day was almost over, it was clear that nothing would happen.
Even Chen Bin, standing nearby, let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know if Li Se was right or wrong, but at least nothing had happened today. Perhaps it was Master Huayang's merit.
"Chen Bin, your classmate is unreliable. You should avoid interacting with him in the future," Chen Yongyan snorted coldly. He had asked to move the processing plant, which was pure nonsense. With this relocation, he didn't know how much money he would lose.
Chen Bin said with a wry smile, "Dad, Li Se does have some ability."
"It's just some trickery from the jianghu, nothing impressive," Huayang said dismissively, with his hands behind his back.
But just then, the office door was pushed open, and an employee said anxiously, "Mr. Chen, it's bad! Xiao Zhang has gone crazy!"
"What?" Chen Yongyan's face changed. He immediately ran out and saw an employee jump from the fifth floor.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere. He was dead.
At this moment, Chen Yongyan and Chen Bin's faces changed drastically, and even Huayang's face turned deathly pale.
