"You didn't completely remove the bullets during your surgery!" Li Se said, frowning.
"You're talking nonsense!" Fu Moming immediately retorted, "How could they not be completely removed? You dare to question us without even looking, you're just spouting rubbish!"
"People's hearts are no longer as they used to be, daring to question Western medicine now."
"Could it be that you don't know how to treat him, so you're shifting the blame onto us?"
"This is utterly ridiculous!"
Several Western doctors chimed in with sarcastic remarks.
*Poof! Poof!*
But just then, Li Se gently placed a palm on Nie Huacan's body, and several fragments of the bullet sprayed out from the gunshot wound.
Fu Moming and the others, who had been mocking Li Se, were now speechless. Their faces were ashen; this was a blatant slap in the face.
After Li Se performed acupuncture for a full half hour, when he withdrew the needles, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, astonishing everyone present.
"A… a miracle doctor!" Even Fu Moming couldn't help but exclaim at this point.
"I'm alright?" Nie Huacan finally regained consciousness.
"Huacan!"
"Dad!"
Nie Huacan's wife and daughter rushed over.
When Nie Huacan saw Li Se was also present, he immediately knew Li Se had saved him. He said solemnly, "Divine Doctor Li, I, Nie Huacan, will never forget this kindness in my life!"
He actually regretted not listening to Li Se's advice not to go out, otherwise, he wouldn't have been shot.
"Divine Doctor Li, I shouldn't have gone out!" Nie Huacan said with some shame.
"Mr. Nie, please rest well during this period," Li Se advised.
Nie Huacan sat up, "I feel much better."
"Yes, because you can already get out of bed, but you shouldn't engage in overly strenuous activities," Li Se said.
Nie Huacan was shocked. He actually got out of bed and, with his wife's support, walked back and forth several steps.
Fu Moming and the others were stunned. He could really get out of bed. Their previous treatment had aimed to see if he could survive the night, and now he could get out of bed. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it was possible.
"A miracle, this is a miracle of medicine!" Fu Moming exclaimed.
The Western doctors were all greatly shocked and remained speechless for a long time.
Nie Huacan also gave Fu Moming and the others generous consultation fees, and then gave Li Se fifty million, saying, "Divine Doctor Li, you must accept this fifty million. This is my gratitude!"
"Alright." Li Se did not refuse this time and accepted the fifty million check.
Fu Moming and the other Western doctors watched with envy, but they were also philosophical; after all, he truly possessed skills.
"Divine Doctor Li, I apologize for my previous disrespect." Fu Moming said apologetically.
Li Se couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind. After giving Nie Huacan and the others a few more instructions, he left the Nie residence. By the time he returned home, it was already past midnight. He didn't disturb Zhang Aimin and went to his own room to sleep.
The next day, Li Se received a call from Nie Huacan, who insisted on hosting a banquet to thank him. Initially, Li Se wanted Nie Huacan to rest well, but considering his medical skills, he figured a meal wouldn't be a problem and agreed. The time was set for six in the evening, and it was still early.
"Li Se, something has happened!"
Just then, Zhang Aimin rushed in.
"What happened?" Li Se asked, confused.
"Zhang Mao is dead!" Zhang Aimin said gravely.
At the nursing home, when Li Se and Zhang Aimin arrived, they saw Zhang Cheng and the others weeping uncontrollably.
"Dad, why did you leave so suddenly?" Zhang Cheng wiped his tears, "What will happen to the Zhang family from now on? Without you, I'm afraid I can't support the entire Zhang family..."
"Grandpa..." Zhang Ming also cried inconsolably.
However, Zhang Li and Tang Ru appeared calm, as if the deceased were merely an outsider.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Ru asked angrily when she saw Zhang Aimin arrive, "Did you do something to the old man?"
Li Se frowned, "What does it have to do with me?"
"You jinx!" Tang Ru was furious. She had thought good times were coming. As long as Zhang Mao made her daughter the head of the Zhang family, they would live a life of luxury. Who knew Zhang Mao would die just like that? This made her very vexed.
Li Se walked over and felt Zhang Mao's pulse, his brow furrowing. He was poisoned. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Cheng and the others.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Cheng said angrily.
Li Se said nothing. Although his medical skills were superb, the person was already dead. Even he was helpless. What surprised him was that it was poisoning. Clearly, someone had administered poison; otherwise, with Zhang Mao's physique, he could have lived for another three to four months.
As for why he died of poisoning, Li Se could roughly guess. The conditions he offered Zhang Mao yesterday would likely have been accepted by Zhang Mao. But once Zhang Mao agreed, Zhang Aimin would become the head of the Zhang family, which would be very disadvantageous to Zhang Cheng and his son.
Glancing at Zhang Cheng, who was crying profusely, Li Se let out a cold laugh. He didn't say much. Did they really think this would stop him?
"Died of poisoning!" Li Se stated calmly.
"Nonsense. The doctor just checked, and it was natural causes. How could it be poisoning?" Zhang Cheng sneered. He had bribed the doctors at the nursing home, so he wasn't worried about the poisoning being exposed.
"Whether it's poisoning or not, we'll know if someone comes to investigate," Li Se said with a cold smile.
"What are you doing? Are you calling the police?" Zhang Cheng was somewhat annoyed, "This is our Zhang family's business, what does it have to do with you?"
Li Se ignored him and directly called Tang Xi. It had been a while since he had contacted that young lady.
"What is it?" Tang Xi's voice was neither warm nor cold.
"Someone was poisoned, can you come and investigate?" Li Se said.
Tang Xi replied reluctantly, "I'm from the Enforcement Department. For such a small case, can't you just call the police?"
"It's a bit troublesome; the other party's family background is quite significant," Li Se said helplessly. He knew without a doubt that the Zhang family had bribed the nursing home, and if he called the police, who knew what tricks the Zhang family might pull? So finding Tang Xi was the best option.
"Fine, fine. Where is it?" Tang Xi sounded displeased.
After Li Se provided the address, Tang Xi appeared in about half an hour, dressed in a police uniform, looking valiant and heroic.
"Your mistress?" Zhang Aimin pinched Li Se's waist.
"No." Li Se quickly explained Tang Xi's identity.
"Hmph, I don't think it's that simple!" Zhang Aimin snorted coldly.
"What are you doing? I didn't call the police. Get away, don't disturb my father's rest!"
As Tang Xi led her people to inspect Zhang Mao's body, she was strongly obstructed by Zhang Cheng and his son, Zhang Ming. They were starting to panic; Li Se had actually called the police!
