Chapter 997: The Self-Torture Strategy
"Grandpa Fang, can you describe to me what kind of person that doctor is?"
"You're talking about Da Zhong. He's a young man, quite cheerful, and an Oriental. As for his looks, according to Zhou Zheng, of course, he can't compare to the young master. I never imagined he could have such profound medical attainments at such a young age. He's sure to be a remarkable figure in the future!"
If it was just the names that matched, then there was a chance of mistaking him for someone else. But since they were both Chinese medicine doctors, liked to laugh, and were of Oriental descent, then this person must be the Da Zhong I knew!
Great! Is Da Zhong here to rescue me? Dad and Uncle Kai Feng have finally taken action. It looks like it won't be long before I can get out of here!
Xuan'er was very excited at the moment. He could only close his eyes, fearing that his emotions would be discovered by others.
Lao Fang didn't know the secret in Xuan'er's heart. Seeing him close his eyes again, he thought he was tired, so he stopped talking, gently covered Xuan'er with the quilt, and left the room.
When he was the only one left in the room, Xuan'er opened his eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in them anymore.
……
The next morning, Lilith was waiting outside Xiao Jincheng's room. When he woke up, she greeted him and asked, "Grandpa, according to the plan, we will discuss real estate cooperation with Mr. Philip today. But because of something that went wrong yesterday, the guests didn't get enough rest. Should we still discuss it with them as usual?"
"Of course," Xiao Jincheng said with his eyes closed as he had someone help him clean up. "This little thing won't hinder our cooperation. We'll just follow the normal plan."
"Ok, I see."
Lilith finished speaking and was about to leave. But before she walked out of the room, Xiao Jincheng called Lilith.
"Please keep the one called Da Zhong for me for a while."
Although she already knew the answer in her heart, Lilith still felt uncomfortable when she heard Xiao Jincheng's arrangement.
After hesitating for a moment, Lilith said, "Grandpa, although that young man was brought here by Mr. Phillip, we haven't thoroughly investigated his background. Would it be inappropriate to keep him around like this?"
Xiao Jincheng did not open his eyes and his tone was calm, but the majestic aura emanating from him was impossible to ignore.
"Are you questioning my arrangement?"
Lilith lowered her head and explained, "I don't dare. I'm just worried about Grandpa's health and don't want you to get hurt! If you really want to keep this person, you'd better investigate thoroughly first."
Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Jincheng glanced at Lilith and said, "You are stopping others from healing me now. Aren't you hurting me?"
Xiao Jincheng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Lilith, and she didn't dare to say a word of opposition.
Seeing Lilith fall silent, Xiao Jincheng changed his attitude and said, "Grandpa understands that you are worried about me, but you also saw the ability of that young man yesterday. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know where to find such a talent."
"But I see that Mr. and Mrs. Philip also like that young man. What do we need to do to make them give up?"
"It's simple. Just play the victim's trick. Philip's asthma isn't a difficult or complicated disease. Even if someone else comes, it can be cured. And based on our cooperative relationship, Philip can't refuse me."
"Lilith understands. Grandpa, don't worry. Lilith will definitely keep that young man for you."
Although she said this, Lilith hoped that Philip and his wife would be stingy for once and take the trouble away.
"After Mr. and Mrs. Philip leave, go call Join over. I want to ask him personally."
Lilith raised her head and asked Xiao Jincheng, "Grandpa, he harmed Xuan'er, why didn't you kill him?"
"I'm not so foolish as to want to kill someone without knowing right from wrong." Xiao Jincheng gave Lilith an ambiguous look and said, "Who knows what really happened here? Maybe Join was also being used by someone."
Lilith lowered her head, not daring to look Xiao Jincheng in the eye. She clenched her fists, trying to keep her voice steady as she said, "Grandpa is right. It was Lilith who was inconsiderate. If there's nothing else, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."
Seeing Lilith about to leave, Xiao Jincheng ordered, "Remember to keep an eye on Join. I don't want to see a dead body before I get any information!"
Lilith didn't know if she was being overly suspicious, but she felt like Xiao Jincheng was talking to her. She didn't dare look him in the eye, but lowered her head even more and said, "Yes."
Join discovered early in the morning that there were several people standing outside his door. When he asked them what was going on, they wouldn't say anything and even tried to stop him from leaving.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Join returned to the house and wanted to call Lilith.
When the familiar bell rang at the door, Join's face was filled with joy. He quickly turned around to look at Lilith outside the door and opened his mouth to say something.
But before Join could finish his words, Lilith glared at him and ordered the people on both sides to leave. When there was no one else around, Lilith coldly asked, "What did you do to Xuan'er?"
Join was confused by the question and said, "I just gave him a sedative."
"Are you crazy?" Lilith yelled. "Why would you give such a young child a sedative?"
Join looked at Lilith in confusion and said, "That child didn't get a good rest. I just let him have a good sleep and will diagnose him tomorrow. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Lilith sneered. "You're asking me what's wrong? You're a doctor, after all. Don't you know how to prescribe the right medicine? Xuan'er's condition has worsened, and Grandpa has been notified. Grandpa thinks you're treating him recklessly, and he'll personally inquire about the situation soon. I don't think you know what this means!"
Hearing this, Join's face turned pale. He sat down weakly in the chair and said, "Impossible. Xuan'er is fine. He just has a fever. The fever makes it impossible for him to rest, so I used sedatives to help him sleep and waited until the next day to reduce his fever. There is nothing wrong with my behavior. Is someone trying to frame me?"
At this point, Join suddenly looked up, stared at Lilith fiercely, and said, "Are you the mastermind behind this? If I disappear, no one will have any evidence against you. That's why you used Xuan'er's incident to frame me!"
Although Lilith really wanted to do this, it really had nothing to do with her this time.
Lilith looked at Join coldly with her arms raised. "If I was the one who framed you, why would I come to you and make Grandpa suspect me? You idiot, you'd better figure out who the real culprit is!"
