Wen Lixuan handed over a packet of medicine. "Grandpa, this medicine was prepared according to your prescription, but my brother's condition is getting worse after taking it. Can you take a look?"
The quack doctor took it, examined it carefully, and frowned, saying, "No, this isn't the medicine I asked you to prepare."
Wen Lixuan's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of medicine is this? Is it worsening my brother's condition?"
"No, but if he eats it, he will experience excruciating pain, and may even vomit blood severely."
“All the symptoms match!” Wen Lixuan said. “I got the medicine from the hospital. Could the medicine have been switched? Could it be Jing Ting?”
“No.” The Ghost Hand Doctor replied without hesitation, “Jing Ting doesn’t need to be so sneaky if he wants to torture your brother. To put it bluntly, even if he openly kidnapped your brother and tortured him now, what could you do about it?”
Wen Lixuan nodded. "That's right. So what exactly happened...?"
As the two were talking, a black sedan drove up from behind and stopped next to Wen Lixuan's car.
The car window rolled down, revealing Huo Shiqian's sharply defined profile.
The "Ghost Hand Doctor" rolled down his car window. "Shi Qian, you're back?"
"Hmm." Huo Shiqian turned his head and looked at Wen Lixuan, a cold smile curving his lips. "You came to ask the old man for answers, right? Not bad, you didn't wrongly accuse him of providing you with a fake prescription."
Wen Lixuan suddenly realized, "It's you!"
"It's me." Huo Shiqian smiled, but his eyes were filled with coldness. "The prescription you provided to the hospital was naturally the right one. I manipulated things in the middle, and the medicine that ended up in your hands became something to torture Wen Lijing."
"But don't worry, it's not poison. Death would be too easy for him. I want him to live a life worse than death, to atone for his sins to Wanwan!" Huo Shiqian said, enunciating each word clearly. "By the way, I just went to see him. I told him that if he dies like this, I will definitely kill you and wipe out the Wen family line!"
Wen Lixuan gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, but remained silent.
His brother harmed Qiao Wanwan to this extent, so there's nothing wrong with Huo Shiqian coming to seek justice for his sister!
Huo Shiqian ignored him and started the engine to return to Wutong Bay.
The Ghost Hand Doctor sighed, "Li Xuan, you can't blame Shi Qian. Wanwan is his own sister, his only sister. They finally reunited after a lot of hardship. He loves Wanwan the most. He can't accept that Wanwan is in trouble this time."
"But don't worry, I will persuade him properly and I will definitely not let him hurt you, after all, you are innocent."
Wen Lixuan smiled calmly, "Although my brother has made many mistakes, he was right about one thing. The reason I have been able to make it in the entertainment industry and realize my dreams all these years is actually due to the Wen family's influence."
"Now that the Wen family has been completely defeated, if I rush to sever ties with them and distance myself from the matter, would I even be considered a human being?"
"So, sir, I'm not afraid. As a member of the Wen family, I'm willing to bear what I'm supposed to bear. You don't need to make things difficult for me."
"Lixuan, you are a magnanimous child." The Ghost Hand Doctor patted his shoulder. "I hope you can always maintain your magnanimity and not go down the same path as your brother. When Wanwan was very young, I told her that in this life, success and fame are secondary. Living with a clear conscience is the most important and also the most difficult thing. I hope you can do it."
"Yes, thank you for your advice, sir. I will definitely do it."
......
Wen Lixuan got the medicine again, and this time he went to several hospitals to have doctors confirm that the medicine was okay before taking it home.
"Brother, take your medicine."
Wen Lijing glanced at the switched pills. "Even if you switched the pills, Huo Shiqian won't let me go. I've been under his surveillance for a long time."
"Brother, no matter what, as long as you're alive, we should try our best to alleviate your pain." Wen Lixuan poured a glass of water. "Take your medicine."
Wen Lijing hesitated for a moment, then quickly took the medicine.
"You're right, I can't just die in this agony..."
Wen Lixuan choked up, "Brother, you're right to think that way. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to alleviate your pain."
Wen Lijing took the medicine for two days. Although his physical condition did not improve, it did not continue to deteriorate, and his spirits recovered somewhat.
He had been trying to contact the mastermind, but there had been no response.
Just when Wen Lijing was about to give up and look for another way, a letter appeared at the door.
Wen Lijing picked up the letter, opened it, glanced at it, took out a SIM card from inside, and put it into another mobile phone.
Soon a phone call came in, and a cold voice came through, "Mr. Wen, is there something you need?"
“Yes,” Wen Lijing said. “You are probably already aware of my situation, and I need your help.”
"You have lost your usefulness to me, so why should I help you?"
"Because we have a common enemy," Wen Lijing said calmly, "Zhan Jingting has wronged me so much, I will definitely drag him down to hell before I die!"
“What I wanted was never his life, but to make him wish he were dead,” the other party said. “Now that Qiao Wanwan is lying in bed and won’t wake up, I have achieved my goal.”
“Qiao Wanwan is still unconscious, but Zhan Jingting is rich and powerful and can find the best doctors in the world. Not to mention, Qiao Wanwan’s master is the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor. Who knows, she might wake up one day.” Wen Lijing chuckled and said, “At that time, all your efforts will be in vain, and do you think it will be so easy to take revenge on them then?”
After a few seconds of silence, the other person finally spoke, "What are you planning to do?"
"I'm about to die, but I'm truly unwilling to die," Wen Lijing gritted his teeth. "It would be too easy for Zhan Jingting to die. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death! I'd rather die a glorious death than live a shameful one. I didn't get the woman I love while I was alive, so I must take her with me when I die!"
"So you want to kill Qiao Wanwan?"
"Why not?" Wen Lijing retorted. "Qiao Wanwan is dead, but Zhan Jingting has to live for the sake of the child. He will suffer a fate worse than death. Don't you think that's great?"
The other person chuckled coldly, "I underestimated you. You're ruthless, I like that. If you didn't have a terminal illness, we might have become the best partners. Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
“I not only have nothing now, but they are also watching my every move, so I need money and manpower.”
"Alright, I can grant your request."
Wen Lijing added, "My accounts are all being monitored by Zhan Jingting, and I guess no one around me has escaped either, so I can only use cash."
"I'll let you know once I've made arrangements. Wait for my call."
Wen Lijing stared at the disconnected phone, a cold smile curving his lips...
