Chapter 85: Chapter 86: Curing the Illness
Li Yang had wanted to refuse, but Shen Xu had already driven off.
Li Yang couldn’t do anything about it and could only smile wryly. ’Whatever, I’ll eat first.’
After eating, he asked the restaurant owner for a basin of water and splashed the dog awake.
The moment the dog saw Li Yang, it became completely docile. It didn’t dare make a sound, simply tucking its tail between its legs.
The onlookers couldn’t help but marvel at the sight.
"Up!" Li Yang said to the dog as he climbed into his pickup truck.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the big dog obediently leaped onto the truck bed. Sitting there, it looked truly imposing.
By the time he returned to the village, the stars were already out.
Liu Jinsheng hadn’t left yet; he was waiting for Li Yang in front of the small clinic.
"Brother Li!" Liu Jinsheng rushed forward as soon as he saw Li Yang, offering him a cigarette.
Li Yang didn’t take it. "Why haven’t you gone back yet? By the way, how many carloads of people came today?"
"One carload!" Liu Jinsheng chuckled. "Brother Li, so from now on, does this mean I just go find people and bring them all here?"
"That’s right," Li Yang nodded. "From now on, just find people and bring them here. Don’t hold back. But let me be clear about one thing: we use my phone to collect payment. Have them transfer the money to me, and I’ll give you your cut afterward."
"Great!" Having received a clear answer, Liu Jinsheng left, satisfied.
After dinner, Li Yang returned to the small clinic.
He had barely sat down when he got a call from Qin Gang.
"Li! Why am I so damn itchy all over? Get over here and treat me, now!" Qin Gang was practically roaring on the other end of the line.
Li Yang laughed coldly. "Well now, Boss Qin, this afternoon you were talking about killing me, and now you want me to treat your illness. Why on earth should I?"
"I’ll give you money! I’m begging you!" Qin Gang was in genuine agony and could no longer hold back from pleading with Li Yang. "I was wrong this afternoon. I’m willing to pay you."
Li Yang just let out a cold laugh, saying nothing in response.
"Li Yang..." Another voice spoke up on the other end. "He’s my father. He was definitely in the wrong today, but... could you please treat him, for my sake?"
It was Qin Susu’s voice.
Li Yang paused. When Qin Susu said "for my sake," her voice was very quiet, clearly laced with uncertainty.
"Fine," Li Yang agreed. "Two conditions. First, the one million for saving him this afternoon still hasn’t been paid. I want to see that money now. Second, I don’t feel like making a house call today. If you want him treated, you come to my place."
"No problem!" Qin Susu breathed a sigh of relief. "I’ll have my dad transfer the one million to you immediately. We’ll head over as soon as the transfer is complete."
Before long, a million was deposited into Li Yang’s account.
Seeing the numbers, Li Yang almost burst out laughing.
’Now this is what I call a windfall!’
An hour and a half later, Qin Gang and his daughter arrived.
"Divine Doctor Li, please, save me..." Qin Gang was covered in red spots and scratching himself incessantly.
"I don’t understand. I thought syphilis only affects... specific areas. But now my dad is itchy all over. The doctors all said it was very strange." Qin Susu blushed as she spoke.
’To think her father would actually catch such a filthy disease.’
Li Yang sneered inwardly. ’If he hadn’t run into me, the syphilis would indeed be confined to certain areas. But since your father is so arrogant, I had to make him suffer a little. Otherwise, how would I ever get my one million?’
"That first million was for saving your life, which you should have paid long ago. The only reason I’m helping you now is as a favor to your daughter!" Li Yang produced the medicine he had prepared. "Drink up."
Qin Gang, not suspecting a thing, didn’t care how bitter the medicine was and downed it in one gulp.
Qin Susu actually looked a little embarrassed, especially when Li Yang mentioned doing it as a favor to her. ’Since you know how to play ball,’ Li Yang thought, ’I won’t make things difficult for you in the future.’
A few minutes after he drank the medicine, the red spots began to slowly fade, and the itching stopped.
Qin Gang was overjoyed. ’No wonder my daughter said Li Yang’s medical skills were amazing. He really is the real deal!’
"Here’s the rest of the medicine." Li Yang tossed over a few more prepared packets. "Brew and drink it according to the instructions I wrote on the bag. You’ll be fine after that."
"Right..." Qin Gang took the medicine, eager to leave immediately.
"What’s the rush?" Li Yang said irritably. "Aren’t you going to pay for the medicine?"
"How much is it?" Qin Gang froze, afraid that Li Yang was about to demand an exorbitant price.
"I suppose one or two hundred should cover it..." Li Yang said grumpily.
"Fine, here!" Relieved, Qin Gang pulled out two hundred, slapped it on the table, and hurried back to the car.
’If he had a choice, he would never speak another word to Li Yang for the rest of his life.’
"Well, I’ll be going then!" Qin Susu also let out a sigh of relief. "Our water plant will be up and running soon. Just you wait."
Li Yang nodded.
"By the way, what about Wu Juan and her people?" Qin Susu asked.
"The police said they’re going to pick them up, so we don’t have to worry about it," Li Yang said, shaking his head. "Alright, it’s getting late. You two should get going."
The two got in the car and quickly left.
Li Yang tidied everything up and went home, the large dog in tow.
Li Yang tethered the big dog in the yard, where it looked a bit lonely.
Li Yang glanced back at it, suddenly intrigued. ’This beast really is too ferocious. It’s not normal.’
"You’re going to guard these fields for me!" Li Yang ordered, pointing to the vegetable plots behind the house. "Those are my treasures! You watch them and don’t let anyone steal anything!"
