Qing Chen A

Chapter 49 The Buddha Talisman

About twenty minutes later, Li Qingyuan arrived.

The moment Li Qingyuan entered the room and saw Lin Hao, he almost fell to his knees.

"Mr. Lin, save me, save me!"

"Dean Li, don't rush, things aren't as serious as you think," Lin Hao quickly supported Li Qingyuan and said.

He wasn't just comforting Li Qingyuan casually. If this matter was as he guessed, then all he needed to do was to change Li Qingyuan's fortune back.

"Okay, okay, I believe you, I believe you," Li Qingyuan said excitedly.

"Tell me, what happened?" Lin Hao helped Li Qingyuan sit on the sofa and then looked at him.

Although Liu Yongchang had already explained Li Qingyuan's situation earlier, Li Qingyuan was the person involved. For accuracy, Lin Hao still wanted to hear Li Qingyuan's account of what happened.

Time slowly passed.

After listening to Li Qingyuan's narration, Lin Hao couldn't help but nod.

Li Qingyuan's account was not much different from what Liu Yongchang had said before.

It was still about Wang Sheng's father, Wang Houde, being elected dean and all the accusations being pinned on him.

Lin Hao asked him if he had been out "networking" recently, or if he had been lying low and secretly gathering evidence as previously discussed.

Li Qingyuan said that he had done just that.

However, the development of events had completely exceeded his expectations.

According to normal procedures, he was only suspended from work and under investigation.

This meant that before his crimes were fully confirmed, Wang Houde could not take the position of dean.

Only after his crimes were confirmed and his position as dean was revoked could Wang Houde ascend to the deanship.

But now, before his crimes were fully confirmed, his position as dean had been suddenly taken away.

Then, Wang Houde was directly promoted to dean.

And these were minor matters.

The most important thing was that after Wang Houde took the position of dean, he could wield certain powers to completely make him a scapegoat, bearing all the accusations.

In other words, it was only a matter of time before he was sent to prison.

If he didn't hurry to find a solution, then going to prison would be a certainty.

"This Wang Houde is too shameless," Lai Qingsheng said, frowning as he listened to Li Qingyuan.

"Simply shameless."

"Such scum might be a minor issue in other industries, but if he were to become the dean of the First People's Hospital, who knows how many people and families would suffer!"

Liu Yongchang and Xiao Hei also frowned.

Lin Hao nodded, agreeing with Xiao Hei.

If someone like Wang Houde were to become the dean of a hospital, it was likely that countless families and people would suffer.

Compared to Li Qingyuan, although he was ambitious, he was definitely a person with medical ethics and principles.

He would never do anything that harmed the hospital or the interests of patients for the sake of promotion.

He might be worried and unable to sleep for days because he couldn't get promoted, or he might be excited and overjoyed for days because he could get promoted.

But he would never target the hospital and patients for promotion, even if he were the dean with immense power.

However, if it were Wang Houde, he would likely stop at nothing for his own benefit.

Regardless of the hospital or patients, as long as they could provide him with benefits and he wouldn't get caught, he would go all out, greedily draining blood from the hospital and those patients.

Lin Hao pondered these thoughts, then looked at Li Qingyuan and said, "When exactly was Wang Houde promoted? Think carefully. In the days before and after his promotion, did anything unusual happen around you?"

"Anything unusual?"

"Yes, like bumping into a stranger, accidentally bumping into you, or bringing something home unintentionally," Lin Hao said to Li Qingyuan.

"Let me think," Li Qingyuan lowered his head and thought carefully.

After a while, Li Qingyuan looked at Lin Hao, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I didn't encounter any strangers, but the day before Wang Houde was promoted to dean, Xiao Xue brought back a protective charm, saying she bought it from a master and asked me to wear it."

"Protective charm?"

"Is it on you? Let me see," Lin Hao said to Li Qingyuan, frowning.

At this moment, he already had a faint premonition that Li Qingyuan's misfortune was definitely related to this protective charm.

Li Qingyuan was stunned at first, then quickly took out a red lucky bag from his chest and handed it to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had only been guessing and had a premonition, not entirely sure if Li Qingyuan's misfortune was related to his protective charm.

But the moment Li Qingyuan took out the protective charm, Lin Hao immediately felt an extremely cold and sinister aura spreading out.

"Have you been restless, unable to sleep, and hallucinating these past few days?" Lin Hao took Li Qingyuan's so-called protective charm and looked at him.

Li Qingyuan's expression changed, and he looked at Lin Hao in shock, "How did you know?"

"These past few days, I've not only been restless and unable to sleep, but every midnight, I feel an abnormal chill, no matter how thick the clothes I wear."

"I always thought it was due to my anxiety these days. Could there be another reason?"

Li Qingyuan looked at Lin Hao. He wasn't stupid. Seeing Lin Hao single out this matter, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"It's because of this protective charm," Lin Hao said, then opened the red lucky bag and took out the "protective charm" inside.

When Lin Hao took it out, his gaze immediately turned cold.

He saw a Buddhist amulet, but the image on the amulet was not of Buddha, but of a child sitting cross-legged with closed eyes.

Moreover, the color of the entire amulet was not golden yellow, but dark gold, even a bit black.

Lin Hao looked at the amulet in his hand and couldn't help but sneer.

He had been wondering what kind of thing could work so quickly, breaking Li Qingyuan's fortune in just one day.

He hadn't expected it to be a Buddhist amulet.

No, to be precise, it was a Kuman Thong.

That's right, the renowned Kuman Thong from Southeast Asia.

It was rumored that many celebrities also kept these things.

Of course, Kuman Thong was also a type of Buddhist amulet.

However, compared to other Buddhist amulets, Kuman Thong's power was much greater, and it worked much faster.

As Lin Hao stared at the amulet in his hand, Li Qingyuan was startled and quickly said to Lin Hao, "Mr. Lin, you're saying this protective charm is the reason?"

"But... but Xiao Xue gave it to me!"
