Chapter 10 Mr. Li's Arrangements
"You were sick and had been in a coma for a while. During that time, I came every day to give you acupuncture!"
I loosened the needle from my hand and said, "Be careful, lie still, and don't touch the needle!"
Li Li then noticed the silver needles on her wrist. She stared at them for two seconds and murmured, "I'm sick. How come I have no memory of anything!"
"How could someone who's unconscious have any memories?" Mr. Li quickly asked.
"Then why am I at home instead of going to the hospital?" Li Li asked Mr. Li.
"Because the hospital can't find anything wrong, your coma is caused by wind-evil entering your body. This disease can only be cured by traditional Chinese medicine!" I continued.
"Is that so?" Li Li was still a little confused.
"Little Li, don't ask anymore. You've just recovered. Take a nap, you'll be fine after a nap!" Mr. Li said quickly.
"Um!"
Li Li nodded and obediently closed her eyes.
Seeing this, General Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a wink.
I understood immediately, and quietly left the room with Mr. Li.
"Master Feng, Little Fox seems to have forgotten that experience. What happened?"
As soon as he came out, Mr. Li couldn't wait to ask.
"Perhaps that experience was too painful, and she selectively forgot it!" I said.
"What if she remembers it again someday?"
Mr. Li said urgently.
"There's no good way to deal with it; she'll just have to figure it out herself!" I said.
"Can your acupuncture relieve the symptoms?" Mr. Li asked, grabbing my arm.
"If she continues as before, it can indeed alleviate the problem, but it still depends more on her own efforts!" I said.
"It's good that it can alleviate the symptoms, it's good that it can alleviate the symptoms!" Mr. Li murmured.
My lips twitched as if I wanted to say something, but in the end I said nothing.
Half an hour later, I removed the needles from Li Li's body. She said shyly, "Thank you, Dr. Feng!"
"It's okay, you can always come to me if you have any problems in the future!" I said with a smile.
"Um!"
Li Li nodded gently and shrank back into the blankets.
As usual, Mr. Li gave me a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan.
After returning to the store, I booked a flight to Shenyang.
After booking the plane tickets, I called Ma Shuai to tell him that the tickets were booked. He said there was no problem and that someone would be sent to pick me up at the airport.
I thought that Li Li's matter was over for the time being, but to my surprise, before I even boarded the plane the next day, I received a text message on my phone saying that my money had been deposited.
One million.
I thought I had misread it, so I looked at it again and even counted the zeros.
After confirming that it was correct, I was stunned.
Just then, my phone rang. It was Mr. Li.
A thought struck me, and I pressed the answer button.
"Master Feng, has the money arrived?"
After the call was connected, Mr. Li's voice came through.
"Mr. Li, did you transfer the money?" I asked.
"That's right, it's me!" Mr. Li replied.
"Mr. Li, isn't this a bit too much? I make 1,200 yuan per house call, and even if I only do acupuncture for Li Li once in the morning and once in the afternoon, it's only 2,400 yuan a day. You also give me big red envelopes every now and then. I feel unworthy of this million!"
I'll be blunt.
Money is a good thing; nobody doesn't love money.
But some money is not to be taken; it's too hot to handle.
I received over 70,000 yuan for half a month of acupuncture treatment for Li Li, including red envelopes and house call fees. I feel perfectly justified in taking this money.
But I have no reason to take this million.
"Master Feng, my return to Hedong this time is fraught with peril. My nephew is itching to tear me apart!"
Mr. Li chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "It doesn't matter if I die, but what about Xiaoli? You know her situation. That experience hurt her too much. What if she remembers that experience one day..."
At this point, President Li sighed and said, "This one million will be Xiaoli's medical expenses for the rest of her life!"
Hearing this, I understood that Mr. Li was making plans for his own funeral.
"Master Feng, is the money not enough? If not, I'll transfer you another million!"
Seeing that I didn't reply, Mr. Li immediately said.
"Mr. Li, it's not about the money!"
I gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Li, would you mind telling me what grudge you have against your nephew that has to come to this point? Li Bao, as the older brother, even went so far as to retaliate against his younger sister, Li Li, with deadly force."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Li, I was being presumptuous. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it!" I said.
"We've come this far, there's nothing we can't say!"
Just when I thought Mr. Li wouldn't speak, he suddenly said, "My older brother, Li Bao's biological father, was killed by someone I hired!"
"what?"
My mind went blank for a moment, and I stammered, "I read the news. Wasn't it because of money that Boss Li was shot by his childhood friend?"
The death of Brother Li shocked the whole country at the time, and major newspapers rushed to report it.
The case was solved quickly. According to publicly available information, Mr. Li's elder brother was shot and killed by his childhood friend for refusing to help him with working capital.
"That whole thing was my doing!"
Mr. Li sighed and said, "It doesn't take much effort to lead someone who's already on the verge of death and harbors resentment towards my brother into a deadly predicament!"
I was speechless for a moment. I finally understood why Li Bao hated President Li so much that he didn't even spare his own sister.
The hatred for the murderer of one's father is irreconcilable!
"Mr. Li, have you considered the possibility that even if you die, your nephew will not let Li Li go? Giving me this million is meaningless!" I said.
Another silence followed.
After about five seconds, Mr. Li's voice came through, "I have my own plans!"
"Mr. Li, I'll take this million for now. You can contact me again once you've made the arrangements, okay?" I said.
"good!"
Mr. Li replied with a single word and hung up the phone.
"Why!"
I looked at my phone and sighed. I felt this wasn't over yet, and I might get caught up in the Li family's internal strife.
"What kind of mess is this?!"
I shook my head, somewhat helpless.
Putting everything else aside, just from the way Li Bao took revenge on his cousin, it's clear that this young master is absolutely ruthless.
If President Li loses, this young master Li might retaliate against me because I gave Li Li acupuncture.
As for why I didn't mention Li Li's mother, the reason is simple: Li Li's mother divorced Mr. Li a long time ago and remarried.
After thinking for a while, it was time to board.
I banished these distracting thoughts from my mind. While that young master Li was indeed ruthless and cunning, President Li was no simple character either. How could someone who could set up a scheme to kill his own elder brother be simple?
Two hours later, we arrived in Shenyang.
After I got off the plane, I called Ma Shuai to tell him that I had arrived.
Less than a minute after I hung up, I saw the person who was supposed to pick me up at the airport.
