"What? He's the Heavenly Doctor?" Cao Xiaoliang stared wide-eyed at Lin Yu in disbelief.
Cao Tianwang frowned. "Xiao Liang, have you seen him before?"
Cao Xiaoliang said angrily, "Dad, he's the guy who made Zhang Bao smash my basket at the auction!"
"So it was you? You're one of Zhou Xiaotian's men?" Cao Tianwang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lin Yu shook his head. "To be precise, Zhou Xiaotian is one of my men!"
"What??"
The father and son were both stunned.
Cao Xiaoliang sneered, "Kid, can't you live without bragging? Who is Brother Tian? He's giving you back your man!"
Lin Yu chuckled lightly and remained silent, not bothering to explain anything to such insignificant beings.
Cao Tianwang shook his head. Regardless of what kind of relationship this kid had with Zhou Xiaotian, now was not the time to dwell on such things.
The most urgent task is to save Li Zhiyuan's life, otherwise both father and son will be doomed!
Cao Tianwang immediately said, "Since you are a divine physician, please save Young Master Li. If you can save Young Master Li, my son and I are willing to repay you handsomely!"
"A lot of money? How much?" Lin Yu asked jokingly.
Cao Tianwang thought for a moment, "One hundred million, is that alright?"
Lin Yu shook his head.
"That...two hundred million?"
Lin Yu shook his head again and said calmly, "I want your entire Cao family!"
"What?!" Cao Tianwang's old face was shocked.
Cao Xiaoliang immediately burst into a tirade, "You surnamed Lin, are you crazy? You think you can take my entire Cao family just because of a single sentence?"
"What? Is this going too far?" Lin Yu sneered. "If Li Zhiyuan dies, the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce will definitely blame you and your son. In the end, you and your son will only have one path: death!"
"Whether you choose to risk your life for your wealth, or risk your wealth for your life, the choice is yours!" Lin Yu said jokingly.
Cao Tianwang's face was extremely ugly.
It may be harsh, but it's the truth. For this father and son, it's a choice between wealth and life.
Cao Xiaoliang gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, at worst we won't beg him. Li Zhiyuan is dead, so be it. Before the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce gets the news, let's quickly sell our assets and run away. Once we're abroad, I don't believe the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce can find us!"
Cao Tianwang's eyes lit up, but he immediately hesitated.
Cao's Pharmaceuticals is a listed company, and it's unlikely that it can realize its market value in the short term.
If he were to flee abroad now, he would have to give up most of his family business, which represents his life's work. How could he bear to give it up?
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, "How about I show you a way out! It will allow you to preserve your family business and also ensure Li Zhiyuan's survival!"
Cao Tianwang's eyes widened, and he asked, "What road?"
Lin Yu glanced at Cao Zhiruo beside him and said, "As long as you agree to transfer Cao's Medicine to Cao Zhiruo's name, I can agree to help you save Li Zhiyuan!"
"What?!" Cao Tianwang suddenly looked at Cao Zhiruo.
Cao Xiaoliang immediately launched into a tirade, "You ingrate, Cao Zhiruo! I see now, you've found a backer! You've teamed up with outsiders to seize our Cao family's assets! You ingrate, you disgrace to the family!"
Cao Zhiruo's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! Do you think I really care about the so-called family property? I just can't stand you and Dad colluding to disrupt the medical industry and harm the people!"
"Outrageous!" Cao Tianwang said with a stern face, "Cao Zhiruo, no matter what, I am your father, and Xiaoliang is your brother. We are all family. How can you live with yourself by joining forces with outsiders to deal with your own family? You unfilial daughter! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have sent you to university. I should have strangled you when your mother died!!"
Cao Zhiruo's beautiful eyes widened, and tears welled up instantly. She couldn't believe that such words came from her own father.
Lin Yu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Miss Cao, don't cry! This is not unfilial; on the contrary, you are putting righteousness before family and standing up for those suffering patients! Your wish is to atone for the Cao family's sins and accumulate good karma. This is true filial piety!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhiruo's eyes gradually hardened, and she clenched her fists, saying, "That's right! If I take control of the Cao family, I will put people's livelihood first, sell all medicines at affordable prices, and ensure that all people can afford medicine and medical treatment! I am not wrong!"
Lin Yu nodded, then looked coldly at Cao Tianwang, "You only have this one chance now. If you agree to hand over Cao's Pharmaceuticals to Miss Cao, I can help you save Li Zhiyuan. In addition, you will receive every penny you are entitled to, and you will be able to die peacefully!"
"Whether you want to live in exile or have a peaceful end, it's up to you!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Cao Tianwang clenched his fists tightly, his old eyes flashing incessantly.
After a long silence, he finally sighed and said, "Fine! I promise you! I can hand over Cao's Medicine to Cao Zhiruo, but you must also promise me that you will save Li Zhiyuan and cure his paralysis! As long as you can do it, I, Cao Tianwang, will never go back on my word!"
"Dad, how could you..." Cao Xiaoliang looked resentful. What would he do if Cao's Pharmaceuticals fell into Cao Zhiruo's hands?
He is the only heir of the Cao family!
"Shut up!" Cao Tianwang snapped. "What are you arguing about at a time like this! Zhi Ruo is your own sister. Even if she controls Cao's Pharmaceuticals, do you think she would mistreat us?"
Cao Tianwang then hurriedly said to Lin Yu, "Dr. Lin, please make a move!"
"Okay!" Lin Yu nodded, and without further ado, went straight up and slapped Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan sat up abruptly, as if he had risen from the dead.
"Kid, is that you??"
After regaining consciousness, Li Zhiyuan was both shocked and furious when he saw Lin Yu.
Because of this kid, he lost both of his testicles!
He now wishes he could tear this kid to pieces!
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. "It's me. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I wish I could kill you!!" Li Zhiyuan roared, trying to pounce on him, but he couldn't move his legs and could only stare fiercely at Lin Yu.
"Kill me?" Lin Yu curled his lip in disdain. "The first time you tried to kill me, I crushed your balls. Now you're just a cripple. If you go back to the Li family, even the dogs would despise you. Do you think you have the strength to kill me?"
Li Zhiyuan's breath hitched, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.
That's right!
He's a useless person now. If he returns to the Li family, his status will plummet. Who will stand up for him?
Li Zhiyuan was filled with frustration and resentment. He then slowly looked at the Cao family father and son, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and asked, "Did you two bring me here? Are you in cahoots with this kid?"
