Chapter 404: Weak desire to survive
"A Zheng, put down the gun."
"Master, this woman spoke rudely to you, she deserves to die." The bodyguard's murderous intent was very strong. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary bodyguard. He should be someone who served by his side on a daily basis and had a lot of say.
"I told you to put down your gun." The man's voice was still very soft, like a spring breeze.
But the bodyguard actually put down his gun and dared not disobey orders anymore.
"A Zheng, get out."
"master……"
"I'm here, you can go out." Chen Yingli also looked at the man.
When the bodyguard passed by Ran, his eyes were extremely fierce, as if he was giving a warning.
Tu Ran didn't know the identity of the man in front of him.
But it must be quite extraordinary to be able to live in such a garden and have bodyguards who can carry guns.
"You're right, I do have a murderous aura." The man finally stopped playing the piano. He leaned his head lazily on the table, made tea with one hand, and didn't stand up or even look at Tu Ran.
Tu Ran glanced at the Buddha statue at the entrance and asked, "So, you want to ask the Buddha to save you?"
"No, it's to suppress the murderous intent." The man also spoke truthfully.
Tu Ran smiled and said, "Your physical condition isn't entirely due to murderous aura..."
"Tu Ran, how are you so smart? You knew it before even taking my pulse?" Shen Yingli's voice was filled with a little surprise.
“No, Miss Shen, I just made a normal inference.”
"Because if Buddha was useful, I wouldn't be here today."
After Tu Ran finished speaking, the three of them fell silent and the whole place was silent.
That’s right. If Buddha is useful, why do we need to look for a miracle doctor?
But she is the first one to speak so bluntly without fear of offending others.
"Tu Ran, can you take Xiu's pulse?"
"He is my..." Before Shen Yingli finished speaking, she saw the man raise his hand to interrupt her.
“We don’t force people.”
"Miss Tu, if you want to be treated, then you can be treated. If you don't want to be treated..."
"If you don't want to treat me, just kill me, right?" Tu Ran curled his lips.
"I know you have the ability to kill people as easily as killing ants, but I don't like being threatened."
"It doesn't matter. It wasn't my idea to come to you anyway."
"I just followed my family's wishes and cooperated with them."
"I won't kill you, there are no nameless people under my sword."
"Miss Tu, don't overestimate yourself."
It was clearly their first meeting, but there was already a strong sense of tension between the two.
Even Chen Yingli, who has a high emotional intelligence, found it difficult to smooth things over and looked embarrassed.
"Can't you two just have a good chat?"
"Are you filming here?"
“Really?”
"Xiu, I have to say something to you. You're a man, so can't you give way to girls?"
"She's not my girlfriend, why should I give in to him?" The man's words revealed his childish nature.
"Don't worry, I won't be your girlfriend. I don't like murderers." Tu Ran still refused to suffer any loss and kept talking sharp.
"Tu Ran, don't be angry. He wasn't like this before he was repaired. Ever since three years ago..."
"That's enough. Stop talking. Let her say whatever she wants. If she wants treatment, then treat her. If she doesn't want treatment, then send her away." The man seemed to have no patience to continue pulling.
However, it was this world-weary look with no desire to survive that aroused Tu Ran's fighting spirit.
"Since we're already here, let's give it our all." Tu Ran also said something unpleasant, and he really holds a grudge.
This sentence made Shen Yingli laugh out loud, "Tu Ran, you are so cute."
"Xiu, hurry up and let Tu Ran take your pulse first."
"Let me tell you, she's amazing. What she said when she took my pulse just now was absolutely accurate. She's the best Chinese medicine practitioner I've seen in all these years." Shen Yingli had to praise her, and of course it was sincere.
The man was still sitting lazily by the window. When Tu Ran walked up to him, he just casually stretched out a hand.
Tu Ran remained calm, and gently placed his fingers on it——
After a while, "Another one."
The man cooperated reluctantly, holding the teacup in his other hand and looking at the statue in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Tu Ran pulled his hand back.
"Tu Ran, how about repairing him?" Shen Yingli was very nervous, even more worried than about herself.
"He... was poisoned. This poison is extremely strange. The structure and composition of the toxin are extremely complex. I'm afraid there is no antidote in this world."
"Western medicine should call it ALS. Judging from his current pulse, one of his legs can no longer move flexibly. As time goes by, the toxins will invade. Slowly, he will be confined to a wheelchair, unable to walk with both legs."
"If it continues, it will spread from the waist upwards and invade the whole body."
"As the name suggests, ALS is like the body being gradually frozen, and eventually the whole body cannot move."
"Then watch yourself consume your life bit by bit and die bit by bit."
"Yes, you are right." With the previous diagnosis, Shen Yingli was not surprised that Tu Ran accurately described the man's condition.
"You must have tried various methods, but nothing worked, right?" Tu Ran was obviously asking the man.
Speaking of this, the man's face became a little gloomier.
He is not afraid of death and has lived enough.
But his family and higher-ups couldn't let him go, and they had been trying every possible way to save him for the past three years.
They even tried metaphysics and had hundreds of monks chanting sutras and praying, but it was completely useless.
The toxicity has not diminished at all, but has only worsened over time.
"You're right. I have indeed seen many famous doctors in the world."
"If it were any use, I wouldn't have come to you. You said it yourself, now we have to try our best to save the dying horse."
Men also hold grudges, and use Tu Ran's words to pressure Tu Ran.
"Please, you are asking me for something, could you please be more careful with your tone?" Tu Ran rolled his eyes.
"I can't notice it. I've been like this since I was a child." The man answered with some arrogance.
"It's just a habit."
Tu Ran's voice was not loud, but it was obvious that it annoyed the man.
"What did you say?" Without any warning, he grabbed her wrist with his big hand.
The sudden feeling of oppression and murderous intent was indeed very strong.
If it were another woman, she would have been scared to tears.
After all, this group of people are not on the same level as her.
Because these people are not ordinary people.
It can even be said that top tycoons like Xie Nancheng are like ants in their eyes.
"Xiu, what are you doing?"
"Let go quickly."
"Tu Ran is the guest I invited." Shen Yingli advised anxiously.
"Give me your dog paws. If you don't let me go, don't say I'm rude to you." Tu Ran was not someone to be trifled with, and met the man's cruel eyes.
"Do you think I, a dying man, would be afraid of death?"
"But Miss Tu, you finally married into a wealthy family, and before you could even secure your position as First Wife... you died at such a young age. Your wealthy husband wouldn't remain a virgin for you."
Tu Ran was unconvinced and sneered, "You're wrong. I've lived a fulfilling life. I'm just a commoner, so my death is not a pity. On the contrary, some people are born into royal power and noble families, born at the top of the pyramid, and are born with special rights. It's a pity for such people to die."
"Tu Ran, don't provoke him..."
Shen Yingli was really scared this time and quickly stepped forward to grab Tu Ran.
