The woman's eyes widened immediately.
The hand holding the incense burner froze in place.
Seeing this, Jiang Li raised her hand and snatched the incense burner from the woman's hand.
The woman disregarded the incense burner issue; she grabbed Jiang Li's arm, her expression urgent, and asked, "What do you know? How do you know..."
Then the woman suddenly glared fiercely at the boss beside her, "Was it you? Did you conspire with her? First, you tried to extract information from me, and then you deliberately tried to set me up?"
The boss was speechless. "Madam, you're really wronging me. How could I possibly be in cahoots with this master? You didn't even tell me that it was your son who was in trouble. Even if I wanted to tip him off, I wouldn't have the ability to do so."
The woman was momentarily speechless.
indeed……
She simply mentioned some problems her son was experiencing and asked what kind of product would be suitable.
She did not mention who caused the problem.
"You..." The woman looked at Jiang Li with a surprised and uncertain expression, trying hard to control her emotions, "Do you really have a way to save my son?"
Jiang Li lazily lifted her eyelids and said indifferently, "Okay, but I don't want to save you."
woman:"……"
The woman, after being rebuked, suddenly sneered, "I almost fell for your trick. You're so young and already out here swindling people. I don't know how your family raised you! The only people I care about are my family. It's not hard for them to guess that something happened to my son."
After all, for people her age, their children are probably the most important thing to them.
And the children are nothing more than sons and daughters.
It's normal that sons hold a higher place in most people's hearts.
Having figured this out, the woman's attitude towards Jiang Li became arrogant again.
Jiang Li scoffed and said coldly, "You're right, but I advise you to go back as soon as possible. If you go back late, your son might not make it past midnight tonight."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't curse my son! My son would never..." Anger flashed in the woman's eyes, and her crazed appearance made it seem as if she wanted to rush up and tear Jiang Li apart.
Just as she was about to take action, the woman's phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the caller ID, she hurriedly answered the phone.
"Aunt Sun, how is Lele?" the woman asked anxiously.
"Madam, please come back quickly, Lele... Lele... he's dying!" Aunt Sun's voice came through, filled with fear and terror. "Lele keeps crying for his mother, you... you have to come back... at least... at least come back to see him... one last time..."
Aunt Sun started crying as she spoke.
The woman's expression stiffened slightly.
The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Her tears fell to the ground, drop by drop.
When she came to her senses, she immediately picked up her phone from the ground and turned to look at Jiang Li. "Master, Master...you can save my son, right? Since you know about him...you must have a way, right?"
The woman didn't care about anything else; she was willing to give up everything for her son.
What's the point of bowing down to a little girl?
Seeing that Jiang Li remained silent, the woman immediately knelt down in front of him, pleading, "Master, I beg you, please save my son..."
Jiang Li immediately dodged, glancing at the woman and saying calmly, "It's not that I can't make a move, but this is the price..."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately replied, "As long as you can save my son, I'll give you any amount of money!"
Jiang Li held up one finger.
"Okay! Ten million it is!"
The woman answered without hesitation.
Jiang Li: "..."
They're all really rich and powerful people.
She only wanted one million.
However, ten million is not a lot for this woman, and since she is willing to give it, she will not be polite.
Anyway, we still have to donate most of it to accumulate good karma for them, so let's just consider it as accumulating more good karma for them and ourselves.
"Get up first. What kind of behavior is this, kneeling like this?" Jiang Li said with a headache, "I can't accept you kneeling like this."
"Master, let's go back quickly now." The woman was anxious, her eyes filled with pleading as she looked at Jiang Li. "We can't be any later, or I'm afraid we won't make it in time."
As she spoke, the woman choked up again.
Jiang Li glanced at the time, not in a hurry at all. "There's still some time before midnight. Let me get what I need to buy first."
"But..." The woman opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more.
“There are no buts. If I can’t save your son, I won’t charge you a single penny.” Jiang Li’s expression remained unchanged. “So you don’t need to worry, and you won’t lose anything.”
The woman pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but dared not speak further.
She was afraid that if she spoke, it would displease Jiang Li, and it would be terrible if Jiang Li simply quit.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, was unhurried and showed no sense of urgency. She calmly directed her boss to bring over the things she needed one by one.
She didn't originally need that much, but because she was going to save this woman's son, she needed a little more.
Fortunately, none of them were very valuable, so Jiang Li didn't feel guilty about taking them.
After everything was packed, Jiang Li left with the woman.
The destination was also an upscale residential area. Although it couldn't compare to the place where Lu Shiyan and the Jiang family lived, the residents there were mostly people with some wealth.
Jiang Li scanned the neighborhood with her eyes and saw a cloud of black smoke floating in the air from afar.
Jiang Li's gaze turned colder, but she quickly looked away.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyan, who had been keeping an eye on Jiang Li, lowered his voice and asked her, "Jiang Jiang, have you discovered something?"
Jiang Li nodded, but did not speak.
If we say anything now, we risk alerting them.
The group continued walking in, and just as they were about to reach a residence, Jiang Li stopped Lu Shiyan.
"We've arrived at our home." The woman stopped and turned to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's gaze fell on a tree in the yard.
"Master, let's go in quickly," the woman said anxiously. "Could you please check on my son's condition first, and then look at the others?"
Jiang Li waved to Lu Shiyan as he landed.
Lu Shiyan's face came closer.
His eyes met Jiang Li's, and his warm breath sprayed onto Jiang Li's face.
In an instant, Jiang Li felt her cheeks begin to burn.
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows and tilted his cheek slightly, bringing his ear close to Jiang Li's mouth, almost letting Jiang Li's lips kiss Lu Shiyan's ear.
The mere millimeter of distance made Jiang Li's heart pound even harder.
"Jiang Jiang, time waits for no one." Lu Shiyan didn't hear Jiang Li speak, so he suddenly turned to look at her.
His thin lips pressed against Jiang Li's red lips in an instant.
Jiang Li's brain went blank for a moment.
