"It hurts... Help me..."
Like Julie before him, Fan Li was in so much pain that he collapsed to the ground. But as soon as he touched the ground, he sprang up because the scales hurt even more when they came into contact with hard objects. It was an indescribable pain, and he felt like dying every minute.
When the scales first appeared, they were only the size of a mung bean, densely packed together. But in just a few minutes, the mung bean turned into a red bean, then into a peanut, and the color changed from dark red to pink, and then to light red.
Fan Li's pain was escalating; he curled up like a shrimp, yet dared not touch the scales, because—
"If you break the scales, you'll die!" Ye Qingqing warned.
He had to endure the pain no matter how much it hurt.
"I...I will listen, please save me..." Fan Li pleaded desperately.
The scales were almost the size of broad beans, and they were bulging and transparent, like water bubbles, as if they would burst at any moment. Ye Qingqing took out the antidote and stuffed it into Fan Li's mouth.
She didn't lie to Fan Li that she would die if the scales burst.
This guy is still useful; he needs to stay alive for now.
Only five minutes after taking the antidote, Fan Li clearly felt the pain in his body decrease, and the scales gradually disappeared. Finally, his skin returned to normal. Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely exhausted.
He felt as if he could already smell death, and he was just a step away from reporting to the underworld.
He hasn't lived enough yet!
He hadn't even gone back to hold his grandson, who was just born two months ago, yet. On the verge of life and death, all Fan Li could think about were his children and grandson, as well as his wife, whom he loathed. All of these thoughts were swirling around in his mind.
He felt even more regretful. It was all that old devil Yin Yu's fault. If he hadn't met that unlucky old man, he wouldn't be in this predicament now!
"Do you know how potent this medicine is?" Ye Qingqing demanded.
"I understand... I'll definitely cooperate." Fan Li's cunning schemes were over; he regretted it so much that he wished he could turn back time and never provoke that idiot again.
Although the idiot is just a piece of trash, the people around him are all ruthless killers. Hmph, Old Ghost makes it sound so easy, why don't you do it yourself?
He knew all along that Ye Qingqing's family was not to be trifled with, so he sent him to be the vanguard and die. What a vicious scheme! But Old Ghost wasted his efforts. Even if he died, Old Ghost wouldn't get his money. He had been on guard against that old bastard for a long time.
He has deposited all the money he has earned over the years into RS Bank, in the accounts of his three sons. He understands that the money will go to his children and grandchildren after he dies, and he will never let outsiders take advantage of him.
Moreover, he had already made a will, so as soon as he died, someone would immigrate abroad for his children and grandchildren. With the money he left behind, his children and grandchildren would live a comfortable life and would not have to worry about making a living.
"I have an irreconcilable hatred for that old ghost. I will definitely help you destroy him. I promise." Fan Li suddenly declared his determination.
He had a new idea. As long as the old ghost was not eliminated, he would never have a peaceful day. Ye Qingqing and the others were not as scary as the old ghost. He had no life-and-death hatred with these people. As long as he was willing to atone for his sins and help to destroy the old ghost, maybe he could live a peaceful life in the future!
Ye Qingqing looked at him suspiciously, not quite believing him.
Fan Li panicked and swore an oath, "Old Ghost has always been wary of me. I've wanted to get rid of this old bastard for a long time. To show my sincerity, I'm willing to bring Lao San to Pingjiang for you."
Anyway, that third brother is a scoundrel; even someone as heartless as him finds him disgusting.
