Lin Yang once saved his wife at the cost of his own legs, only to be met with heartless betrayal, plunging him into an abyss.
Yet heaven did not let him perish, as he acquired the legacy of a...
Lin Yang grinned: "So you know you're doing something terrible?"
These words left Liu Baohua speechless.
Seeing him staring at him, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't panic."
He then moved closer to Liu Baohua and said, "But if you behave, I can still guarantee your safe return to China. If you come with me, no one can kill you. But listen carefully: everyone should get a second chance, but there won't be a third."
"I, Lin Yang, haven't given you a chance before, but I'm giving you one this time. You need to seize the opportunity, understand?"
This was the first time Liu Baohua had ever seen Lin Yang speak to him with such a serious attitude.
Moreover, he had a strong premonition that Lin Yang wasn't just bluffing him; if he dared to lie again, the kid would definitely turn around and leave.
Liu Baohua was still quite pragmatic. He took a breath and said, "I...I'll talk, I'll talk."
Lin Yang patted him on the shoulder: "That's settled then. Only those who listen to the rules get the treats. Who's your boss behind the scenes?"
"It's Chen Sijian."
"Chen Sijian?"
Lin Yang originally thought it was one of the people around him, such as Wang Tao and a few others.
Haven't they always wanted to take away Wang Yuwei's authority and control the company?
But he had never heard of this name before and had no idea who this person was.
Lin Yang then looked at Liu Baohua with a face full of curiosity: "You didn't lie?"
Liu Baohua was now a frightened bird, afraid that Lin Yang would not believe him and leave him there. He quickly got up, knelt on the ground, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said hoarsely, "No, I'm telling the truth, it's true!"
Lin Yang waved his hand: "Alright, alright, don't get so emotional. I didn't say I definitely don't approve of you."
He was speechless. Why would a grown man act like this?
After glancing at him a few times, Lin Yang continued, "Then let me ask you again, who is he, and why did he want to harm me? Wasn't he someone my ex-wife hired?"
Liu Baohua's face flushed red. He stared at Lin Yang and said, "Can I say something from the bottom of my heart?"
Lin Yang glared at him: "Stop nagging and get to the point."
"Hmm..." Liu Baohua gasped for breath for a moment, "I'm not trying to be mean, but if your ex-wife had that kind of ability, I'd eat shit upside down."
Lin Yang chuckled: "Good heavens, you... Fine, if you put it that way, I'll have to save your life. Alright, alright, let's talk about this Chen Sijian."
Liu Baohua then took a deep breath and said, "This Chen Sijian is the real boss behind the Chinese Medicine Clinic. As you know, since the rise of Western medicine, the situation of traditional Chinese medicine has been deteriorating rapidly, right?"
Lin Yang nodded: "Yes, I know that."
Liu Baohua's eyes suddenly sharpened: "But have you ever thought about why, despite the sudden decline of traditional Chinese medicine and the huge impact on the Zhonghua Medical Clinic, it can still operate smoothly? Just because of my meager earnings..."
His face turned even redder: "We should have gone bankrupt long ago because we were running at a loss."
Although there are many people at the Chinese Medical Clinic, not many actually seek medical treatment. They do handle some difficult and complicated cases, and some very wealthy people might occasionally come to see a doctor, but the speed at which they earn money is far slower than the speed at which they spend it.
Therefore, the Chinese Medicine Clinic has actually been losing money all along.
Although Liu Baohua is indeed a bit disgusting, in the end, everything he did was for the sake of the Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Regardless of whether he belittles traditional Chinese medicine in a major Eastern country, praises traditional Chinese medicine in an island nation, or handles the epidemic in Southeast Asia, his purpose remains the same; that has not changed.
Lin Yang didn't dislike him that much.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang nodded and said, "Well, what you say makes sense."
However, there was one thing he didn't understand, so he asked, "According to you, he didn't need to target me or even sell me to the industrial park, right?"
Liu Baohua shook his head: "It's different. You don't understand. When I brought you to Southeast Asia to deal with the epidemic, it was because of our personal grudges. I felt that you had offended me."
"And then?" Lin Yang asked, very curious.
Liu Baohua said, "But your handling of the epidemic in Southeast Asia made him feel deeply threatened. He felt that you had seriously threatened the safety of the Chinese Medicine Clinic."
"That's not right."
Lin Yang was even more confused: "According to you, he has plenty of money, and the Chinese Medicine Clinic is already losing money, so how am I threatening him? If he cooperates with me, wouldn't that allow the Chinese Medicine Clinic to become famous during this epidemic?"
"Shouldn't the Chinese Medicine Clinic be out of danger by now?"
Liu Baohua sighed: "It's different. I can only roughly guess what our boss is thinking. What I'm about to say is just my guess. If you want me to really analyze him for you, I can't."
His repeated statements were because he was afraid that Lin Yang would cause him other trouble.
Lin Yang chuckled and said, "Okay, don't worry. I can tell whether you're lying or not, so there's no need for further explanation. As for what I promised you, I won't go back on my word. If I said I'd save your life, I will."
With those words, Liu Baohua finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll say it. I think my boss might be hiding something. He's strange. I mean, his personality is strange. I can't see through him."
Liu Baohua is quite shrewd and experienced.
Even if he can't see through a person completely, he can still see some problems, but the fact that he says he can't see through anyone at all proves that his boss is really terrifying.
Liu Baohua continued, "He's terrifying. I don't know how to describe him. If you look at him from a distance, he's a proper businessman with a kind face, well-dressed, and his smile is like a flower in full bloom in March."
"But if you get close to him, even if he doesn't talk to you, you'll still feel a very strange feeling about him... well, I don't know how to describe it, but it just feels really bad."
Liu Baohua seemed very tired after he finished speaking.
Lin Yang asked, "Where can we find him?"
Liu Baohua shook his head: "I don't know, his whereabouts are always kept secret."
Lin Yang asked, "Do you have his photo?"
Liu Baohua shook his head again: "He forbids anyone from taking pictures of him. If anyone is found out, they will either be locked up in jail or disappear without a trace. I, Liu Baohua, am just a doctor. How could I have the courage to risk my life to do such a thing?"
Lin Yang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Liu Baohua continued, "Then...can we leave now? The longer we delay, the more assassins will surround us. I...I really don't want to die."
