Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 396 Meeting a Miracle Doctor

Chapter 396 Meeting a Miracle Doctor

Mr. Li finally signed the contract tremblingly and left in despair.

Chi Lin was the only one left in the box.

He leaned back on the sofa comfortably and lit another cigar, with an undisguised look of pride and arrogance on his face.

Done.

Another sum of money is coming.

This feeling is so great.

At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and a man wearing a Tang suit, with a goatee, looking like an immortal, but with a wandering look in his eyes walked in.

It was the Divine Doctor Lu.

"Mr. Chi, is the matter done?" Doctor Lu smiled and rubbed his hands.

Chi Lin glanced at him and snorted.

"Um."

He casually pulled out a wad of money from his wallet and threw it on the table. "Here, it's yours."

The stack of money was not thin, but Doctor Lu's smile froze on his face.

He picked up the money and counted it, his face instantly darkening.

"Chi Dong, what do you mean? Is that all?"

His voice became sharp, with obvious dissatisfaction and questioning.

"Sending away beggars?"

Chi Lin frowned, blew out a smoke ring, and spoke slowly.

"Why? Too little?"

Doctor Lu slammed the money on the table and his voice suddenly rose.

"Of course it's less, Mr. Chi. That's not what we said at the beginning. You relied on my 'miracle medicine' and the advice I gave you to coax Ji Wan and deceive Wen Yan. Now that you've got the money, you're only giving me this little change? You eat the meat, but you should at least let me have some soup, right? You know how much risk I'm taking."

Chi Lin's face also turned cold, and his eyes were full of warning.

"Old Man Lu, watch your words. What do you mean by cheating? How much is that little thing of yours worth? If it weren't for me, you'd still be telling fortunes in some corner of the world. I'm already quite considerate of you by giving you these."

The miracle doctor was so angry that his beard stood up.

"Bullshit, without me, how could you have gotten so much money? How could you have turned things around so quickly? Chi Lin, don't be so ruthless. Now that you're powerful, you're going to kick me away? I'm telling you, no way. This money must be redistributed."

Chi Lin stood up suddenly and looked down at him with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You dare to threaten me? Old man Lu, don't forget that I still have the leverage over you. If you piss me off, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."

"you……"

Doctor Lu's fingers trembled with anger, yet he was also wary.

The two men glared at each other, and the atmosphere in the box was tense and full of gunpowder.

At this moment, the door of the box was gently pushed open a crack.

Chi Lin's secretary was holding a document and was about to come in to report on his work.

She happened to hear the words "demolishing the bridge after crossing it", "mysterious funds", and "cheating Wen Yan". She was so scared that her face turned pale and the documents in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

The quarrel in the room stopped abruptly.

Chi Lin and Doctor Lu turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.

The secretary met Chi Lin's cold and cruel eyes, and was so scared that his soul was scared out of his wits. His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.

It's over.

She heard things she shouldn't have.

Chi Wenyan's slender fingers slid across the tablet screen.

Displayed on the screen was detailed information about the genius doctor Lu.

Photos, pseudonyms, past fraud records... every single one of them is shocking.

The so-called Miraculous Doctor Lu, whose real name is Lu Gui, is a complete charlatan who has been deceiving people for many years by relying on some inferior tricks and rhetoric.

"Oh."

Chi Wenyan's lips curled up into an icy arc.

Three full days.

He mobilized all the connections he could and finally got to the bottom of this old charlatan.

Assistant Asen stood aside with a serious expression.

"Master, this Lu Gui and Chi Lin..."

"Of course he is related to Chi Lin."

Chi Wenyan suddenly raised his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Do I need to tell you what Chi Lin is planning by inviting this kind of person into his home and giving him the title of miracle doctor?"

His voice was filled with suppressed anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

The other side.

Secretary Xiao Li hid in the small apartment he rented, trembling.

It was already late at night, but when she closed her eyes, she saw Chi Lin's vicious eyes that looked like they wanted to kill someone.

There was also the content of his quarrel with Doctor Lu.

"Cross the river and destroy the bridge..."

"Mysterious funds..."

"Cheating Wen Yan..."

These words were like a spell, circling wildly in her mind.

It's over.

She is dead.

Chi Lin will never let her go.

She clutched her phone tightly, her palms covered in cold sweat.

There is a recording saved in the phone.

It was this afternoon. She dropped the documents in shock. After a brief moment of silence, she pressed the record button in a panic before the two men pounced on her.

Although only a small part of the latter part was recorded, the content is scary enough.

Chi Lin threatened Lu Gui, saying that he had something on him.

Lu Gui fought back, mentioning the mysterious funds and how Chi Lin used him to deceive Chi Wenyan.

Call the police?

Xiao Li doesn't dare.

She knew Chi Lin's methods very well.

The result of calling the police is most likely that she will disappear from the face of the earth.

After much thought, there is only one person.

Perhaps that person is the only one who can compete with Chi Lin.

Only that person has enough motivation to expose Chi Lin.

Chi Wenyan.

Xiao Li's fingers were shaking as he flipped through the number he almost never used.

This is her only way to survive.

She had to take a gamble.

In the south of the city, there is an inconspicuous coffee shop.

Xiao Li arrived early and was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

She didn't touch the glass of water in front of her.

A figure sat down opposite her.

It’s Chi Wenyan.

He was wearing simple casual clothes, but his temperament was still compelling.

"You looking for me?"

His voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp as a knife, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Xiao Li trembled all over when he looked at him and almost pushed the phone over.

"Chi...Mr. Chi."

Her voice was tearful and trembling.

"I, I'm Chi Lin's secretary..."

She swallowed hard and spoke incoherently.

"I heard it, and I recorded it."

"He had a quarrel with that Divine Doctor Lu over money, and he even said he cheated you."

Fear made it almost impossible for her to speak, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"He saw me, he will definitely not let me go. I have no choice... please..."

Chi Wenyan picked up his phone and clicked on the recording.

The cafe was very quiet.

The noisy quarrels, threats, and those obscure but deadly words in the recording came out clearly.

Chi Wenyan's expression didn't change much, but his eyes grew darker and darker, becoming unfathomable.

After he finished playing, he looked up and his gaze fell on Xiao Li's pale and terrified face.

"You did the right thing."

His voice was not loud, but it had a strange soothing power.

"Tell me everything he did, you know."

The assistant nodded without any ambiguity. As long as he told the truth, he would be protected.
