Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He might want to save them, but he needs medicine. How can he save people without medicine?
"The main problem is that there is no medicine here, and Alliance Leader Li's wound is already severely infected. Even if I have the best medical skills, I can't help without medicine."
After saying that, he picked up his medicine box and prepared to leave.
What a pity, several hundred points just slipped away like that.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu appeared in front of him in a flash. "Now that you're here, do you think you can just leave?"
As soon as he said that, everyone in the room surrounded Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng's expression changed. "What do you want to do?"
"Of course we want Dr. Cheng to stay here and rest for a few days."
Cheng Cheng held the first-aid kit in front of him as a defensive measure, cautiously staring at these people. "I'm a doctor, and you know how popular I am right now. If something happens to me here, do you think you'll have an easy time?"
Xiao Wu scoffed, "But if you leave, who will save Li Tao? If Li Tao dies, we'll all die."
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Cheng Cheng's face.
Xiao Wu saw right through his thoughts. "Don't even think about outlasting us, because we'll definitely take care of you before we die."
Cheng Cheng had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
Xiao Wu kicked everyone else out, leaving only Cheng Cheng.
He changed his stern expression from before and smiled apologetically at Cheng Cheng: "I'm sorry, I offended Dr. Cheng just now."
Cheng Cheng stared at Xiao Wu for a long time, unsure of his meaning, and could only cautiously say, "We've already offended everyone, what's the point of saying these things?"
"I was forced by circumstances just now. Dr. Cheng should already understand how important Li Tao is to me. You could say that my life is in Dr. Cheng's hands."
Cheng Cheng felt a little better, but he didn't respond to Xiao Wu's words; he just snorted coldly.
Xiao Wu continued with a forced smile, "Actually, I don't want Dr. Cheng to save Li Tao's life. I just want him to stay alive, preferably like a vegetable."
Cheng Cheng was taken aback and looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu smiled with a deep expression.
"Of course, if I can do that, I will not treat Dr. Cheng unfairly. In the future, Dr. Cheng will be the most powerful person in Limeng besides me."
"Hmph, that sounds nice, but what's the use of having the most power? It's just empty promises."
Xiao Wu shook his head, "Dr. Cheng, you don't know this, but the Li Alliance has always adhered to the principle that masters have absolute power to exploit their servants. In the future, a portion of the points earned by the people of the Li Alliance will be given to you."
Cheng Cheng was somewhat tempted by what he heard, but "actions speak louder than words."
I swear.
"But I have one condition: you must keep my whereabouts in the Li Alliance a secret and not cause any damage to my reputation. You should be aware of your own reputation, right? Be careful not to drag me down with you."
Xiao Wu agreed to all of them.
Cheng Cheng was finally satisfied. He took out the medicine he had prepared. "This medicine has no therapeutic function. It can only keep him breathing until the very end. He may not even be a person anymore. He may just be a breathing corpse."
Xiao Wu was a little surprised, "There's actually such a medicine?"
More importantly, isn't this person supposed to be a savior? How could he concoct such a vicious drug?
Cheng Cheng ignored Xiao Wu's probing gaze.
He simply said, "I had a colleague who prepared this medicine before."
Xiao Wu nodded in understanding.
Xiao Wu pushed open the door, led Cheng Cheng out, and had someone arrange accommodations for Cheng Cheng.
The man muttered under his breath, "Why don't you go? I still need to rebuild the house. They're all servants, why should you order us around?"
Cheng Cheng looked at Xiao Wu and smiled enigmatically: "It seems that Mr. Xiao Wu doesn't have absolute control over this group of people."
Xiao Wu's face darkened after being told that.
It will be available soon.
He turned and went back to Li Tao's room. Li Tao was already delirious with fever and was muttering incoherently.
Xiao Wu walked over and called out to him, "Boss, boss, wake up."
Li Tao did not react.
"Boss, can I open your system inventory? I need something to save you."
However, Li Tao remained the same as before.
Xiao Wu frowned and continued, "That thing can save your life, and you want to get better soon, right?"
Li Tao still didn't react, and kept muttering something to himself.
Xiao Wu leaned closer to listen and realized that Li Tao was talking about taking revenge.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Give me the right to use your backpack, and I'll help you get revenge, okay?"
Li Tao turned to look at him.
Finally, there's a response!
"Who is your target for revenge? Yun Jian? Yun Meng? Or the person impersonating you?"
Xiao Wu noticed that Li Tao reacted particularly strongly when he mentioned Yun Jian.
"Then I'll help you get revenge. I'll kill Yun Jian, and in return, you can give me access to the system's inventory, okay?"
"Kill Yun Jian..."
A notification suddenly popped up on the system panel, and Xiao Wu was overjoyed; they had actually granted him the right to use it.
He quickly found the master-servant agreement he had signed with Li Tao and tried to terminate it, but the system refused to execute it no matter how many times he tried.
Xiao Wu was furious.
"Why?! Li Tao is practically dead, why can't we terminate the agreement?"
As if to answer his question, the system displayed a line of text: "The agreement owner does not agree to terminate the agreement, therefore the termination is invalid."
Xiao Wu looked at Li Tao, wishing he could strangle him.
"You're beyond saving, yet you want to drag me down with you? What are you up to?"
After a long while, Xiao Wu finally calmed down. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "You want me to keep your life? You're in this state, what's the point of living? It would be easier to die."
He found the agreements that Li Tao had signed with his other subordinates.
I tentatively listed it on the trading platform and nervously awaited the system's review results.
Not long after, the words "Approved" appeared on the panel.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up; it actually worked!
He quickly bought the agreement, and then did the same thing to buy all the agreements of Li Meng's other subordinates.
Finally, he nervously uploaded his agreement to the trading platform as well.
If it can't be removed, surely he can become his own master?
but……
No matter how many times he tried, the system kept showing a transaction violation.
Xiao Wu was so angry that he flipped the table. Why could everyone else's agreement be sold, but his couldn't?
They couldn't even access trading platforms.
In other words, he still intends to keep Li Tao alive despite his disability.
Xiao Wu was so angry that he punched Li Tao several times.
At the same time, everyone outside the door received a system notification—
[Important reminder: Your owner has changed from Li Tao to Wang Xiaowu. Please contact your new owner as soon as possible. Best of luck!]
Everyone was stunned.
What happened? Why did Xiao Wu become their new master? Where is Li Tao?
