Chapter 501 Liu Erye's Phone Call
"You're crazy, you won't have to worry about money anytime soon!"
After seeing Xu Zhenzhu off, Fatty Lin chuckled.
"We really don't have to worry anymore!"
I nodded.
Xu Zhenzhu comes once every two weeks. After we give her a discount, each acupuncture session, plus Lin Pangzi's conditioning and blood-tonifying ointment, costs a total of two million. Twice a month, that's four million.
Over the course of a year, it amounted to nearly fifty million.
With this money, those children won't have to worry about their food and stationery expenses for the whole year.
"Brother, Fatty, you two were just trying to persuade me, what was there to persuade me about!"
After settling the accounts, Long Nier's gaze swept over our faces, and she said, "You two, just pray that Xu Zhenzhu will be causing trouble all year!"
"The more she tries to manage her health, the more she needs to come to us for treatment. If she stopped trying and her health improved, would she still need to come here?"
"Nier, you're right!" I nodded.
"Ni'er, we brothers advised her, but it's not because she was introduced by Sister Mai. It's the first time Sister Mai has introduced someone, and it wouldn't look good if we brothers cheated her!" Fatty Lin added.
"It's no use trying to persuade them, they don't appreciate it!" Long Nier said.
"Whether she appreciates it or not, we have to get things done!" Fatty Lin said.
Just then, my phone rang.
"Master Liu!"
I glanced at it, pressed the speakerphone button, and answered, "Second Master!"
"Thirteen, are you all in the shop?"
"Master Liu asked."
"Second Master, we're all here!" Fatty Lin shouted with a smile.
"Haven't you had much work lately?" Master Liu asked.
"Second Master, why are there no more cases? We just sent one away!" Fatty Lin said.
"Oh, you still dare to go to your shop at a time like this? You don't care what others say at all!" Master Liu was quite surprised.
"Second Master, have you heard some news?" I asked.
"Um!"
Old Master Liu snorted and said, "You three, you only report good news and not bad!"
"Second Master, we can handle this!"
I exchanged a glance with Fatty Lin and said...
It was obvious that word of the fact that we were being targeted had reached Second Master's ears.
"What are you carrying? Over the years, you've donated to countless primary schools and sponsored countless students. This is the country's responsibility; we can't expect you to carry this burden forever!"
"I'm annoyed," said Master Liu.
"Second Master, we can earn money, but we don't have much to spend it on, so why not donate some?" I knew Second Master Liu was doing this for our own good, so I replied with a laugh.
"You guys!"
Old Master Liu sighed and said, "I called you all this time for one reason only: to solve your current problem of having no work to do!"
"How do we solve this?" I asked, a little curious.
"You are all aware of the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong. The dragon-severing nail that was driven into the main peak of Victoria Peak's dragon vein has been removed; it was those wealthy families who did it!"
After a moment's thought, Old Master Liu said, "The last people who want this auspicious land of Hong Kong Island to have problems are them!"
"Hong Kong Island is their root. If this root is damaged, they will be like a tree without roots, and they will wither and die sooner or later!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's right!"
Master Liu chuckled and said, "However, because of the deep entanglements from the past, and because John Bull has too much leverage over them, they dare not openly refuse the demands of external forces!"
"Take the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong, for example. The fact that you can find out about it so easily suggests that they might have been involved!"
"So, they're doing things for external forces while simultaneously leaking information to outsiders!" I said.
"That's it!"
Master Liu chuckled again and said, "The Five Fiends lock the harbor, with the Earth Fiend as its foundation. If the Earth Fiend isn't broken, this formation can't be broken, but they dare not break it themselves!"
"If the Dragon-Severing Nail in the Taiping Mountain Dragon Vein hadn't infringed upon the interests of so many powerful families, they would never have removed it!"
"Now that the Dragon-Slaying Nail has been pulled out, they think they're safe and have retreated. But the Earthly Fiend hasn't been broken, so this matter isn't over. What should we do?"
"Second Master, do you mean that these wealthy families in Hong Kong have their eyes on us two brothers, and want to use us as cannon fodder to help them deal with the evil spirits scattered throughout Hong Kong Island?" I immediately realized what Second Master Liu meant.
"That's right!"
Master Liu nodded in agreement.
"Damn, do they think we're idiots?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin flew into a rage, "You say you'll use it, and you do it? You say you'll do it, and you do it?"
"Fatty, what are you so angry about? You've been sleeping with their women too, haven't you?" Old Master Liu said with a smile.
"Second Master, this is not the same thing!" Fatty Lin paused.
"How can it not be the same thing? Your reputation is ruined now, and that's all their doing. Do you think they don't know what you've done?" Master Liu retorted.
"Then what do they mean?" Fatty Lin asked back.
"The meaning is simple: they should report less about your dirty deeds in the future, and you should also stop messing around with their women!" said Master Liu.
"Who are they?" Fatty Lin asked.
"You can think of them as the top ten wealthy families!" said Master Liu.
"How can I guarantee that?" Fatty Lin said, sounding a bit aggrieved. "Which of these wealthy families doesn't have four or five wives? They come to me for treatment, and I have to verify their identities?"
"You're quite a smart person, how come you can't see this kind of thing? This is just an excuse. As long as you agree, it'll save face!" said Master Liu.
"Trying to be a prostitute while pretending to be virtuous?" Fatty Lin suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
Master Liu smiled and said, "They're the ones in a hurry now, not us. They won't be at ease until the Earthly Fiend is broken!"
"Second Master, is it because they suffered too many losses during the financial crisis these past two years, and they're blaming it all on the Five Fiends Locking Up the Port?" I asked.
"right!"
Master Liu gave a definite answer, saying, "Especially this time, after the Dragon-Slaying Nail was removed, some unusual things happened, which solidified their belief!"
"Furthermore, do you think the Xuanmen Association is so utterly cowardly and has adopted such a humble attitude this time? It's not just because Wu Peiwen's miserable state frightened them, but also because those wealthy patrons put pressure on them!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder they were so cowardly, especially Zhuang Xuanji, the vice president of the Xuanmen Association. Not only did he accept all our demands, but he also acted so humble. It turns out that the big spender was putting pressure on them!" Fatty Lin suddenly realized.
"Second Master, the pressure exerted by the Xuanmen Association this time is just for show, to put on a show for external forces, right?" I realized.
"Yes!" said Master Liu.
"So what do they mean now? They've gone too far, and seeing that we two brothers can't get any work, and they can't handle the Earth Demon, and they don't want to take matters into their own hands, they've come to you, sir?" I asked.
