"Get out of here!" Wang Yao's expression changed as he saw things were about to go wrong, and he muttered in a low voice.
"Um... Mr. Yu has some urgent business to attend to and has to leave first. My two seniors and I also have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. Please enjoy your meal." Hui Shuo explained to everyone in the restaurant with an unpleasant expression, and then hurriedly slipped out with Wang Yao and Hua Gu.
"Something urgent? The food isn't even all served yet! What could be urgent?"
"It seems Boss Yu choked and couldn't vomit, so he was taken to the hospital." Someone at the table next to Wang Yao and the others, who knew what had happened, hurriedly explained to everyone.
"Damn, he choked to the hospital right after receiving a blessing? Is this monk a fake?"
"Really? I've attended Dharma assemblies before, and the monks there just chanted sutras. They're nowhere near as professional as this monk, who even gave a very insightful explanation of Zen principles..."
"That's called transmitting the Dharma. Didn't the monks chant sutras afterward? This monk is probably real. It's likely that the guy surnamed Yu has done too many bad things, and the Bodhisattva's blessings couldn't cover it up, resulting in this incident..."
"Nonsense! Even if it can't be contained, you can't just rush him to the hospital! This monk clearly has a grudge against that Yu guy and is using magic to harm him..."
"Hey! I said, could one of you go and find out if that guy surnamed Yu has paid the bill for this meal..."
"No way? They're all from Huadu, and that guy surnamed Yu is faking illness to avoid paying his debts? Has he no shame? Seriously? It seems like all of Yu's gang has left..."
"Ouch... my stomach hurts a little, I'm going to the toilet first."
"Damn it, I'm not full yet..."
...
People in the restaurant were talking about it, and opinions were divided. One by one, the smart ones quietly left.
"How about that guy surnamed Yu? Is he in danger?" As soon as the three of them returned to 815, Wang Yao immediately glared at Hua Tuo and asked.
“It’s very dangerous. I couldn’t even get a picture of it, which means it’s stuck very deep. It’s probably even stuck in his chest cavity. Judging from his condition, his trachea is probably blocked too. If he doesn’t get to the hospital and can’t have surgery in time, he could very well die.” Hua Tuo shook his head repeatedly.
“This…no, I have to send you away.” Upon hearing this, Wang Yao hurriedly looked at Hui Shuo with a stern expression. “Otherwise, if the Yu family comes looking for you, it’ll be a real mess.”
"What...what does this have to do with me?" At this moment, Hui Shuo turned into a clueless newbie again, staring blankly and pretending to be stupid.
"It's very important! That friend surnamed Yu just asked you a question, why didn't you answer? What was the purpose of that Yu paying for the Dharma assembly? Damn it, after the assembly ended, everyone else was fine except for him. Tell me, don't you, as the presiding officer of the assembly, bear any responsibility?"
"I don't mean people can live a long life, but they can't just die instantly, can they? Who would believe you didn't do anything wrong? Besides, I saw it with my own eyes. Why the hell did you give that chicken neck to that guy surnamed Yu? He choked after eating it. Why didn't you take it from him?"
Wang Yao asked coldly.
"This... I... how would I know?" Hui Shuo's eyes widened, feeling utterly bewildered.
"Damn it, the blessings you bestowed have all killed people, and you're telling people you didn't know?" Wang Yao simply couldn't understand what Hui Shuo was thinking.
"Well... it wasn't me who wanted to hold this ceremony. It was that guy surnamed Yu who insisted on coming to me. I've always been unwilling. Besides, I'm bestowing blessings on his behalf. I can't guarantee he won't choke on his food. With his habit of swallowing food whole, it's only a matter of time before he chokes." Hui Shuo even sounded aggrieved.
"They already gave you 33,000 yuan, right? What's the point of saying anything else now? They said they held this ceremony to pray that you won't choke in the future, is that not allowed?" Wang Yao questioned.
"This...who would ask for this?" Hui Shuo was also at a loss.
“If someone dies here, why won’t they pray?” Wang Yao shouted.
"Stop arguing. I think your parents are right. While that guy surnamed Yu is in the hospital being treated, you should leave quickly. Otherwise, if his family comes and makes a scene, it will be quite troublesome," Hua Tuo also advised from the side.
“I’m not leaving, I want to follow you.” Hui Shuo shook his head repeatedly. “That guy surnamed Yu still hasn’t transferred 297,000 to me, and Jiang Yongshun promised to transfer 2.97 million to me…”
"Damn it, you're still thinking about that money? We don't even know if that guy surnamed Yu is dead or alive, do you think he'd still send you money? And that guy surnamed Jiang is even less likely to do it, he's probably having a good time right now. Luckily he didn't send you money, or he might be in the hospital too." Wang Yao was really anxious.
"How...how could this be? They don't keep their word?" Hui Shuo stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"Damn, it's really thought-provoking to hear this from a conman." Wang Yao rolled his eyes, not knowing how to continue the conversation with Hui Shuo.
"Well, Hui Shuo, what do you think of your Grandpa Hua's medical skills?" Hua Gu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Wang Yao when he saw that Wang Yao was at a loss.
Hui Shuo nodded to Hua Gu. Although he had healed Hua Gu's internal injuries, it would be a lie to say that he knew much about Hua Gu's medical skills. However, Hui Shuo was kind-hearted and did not want to hurt Hua Tuo's feelings, so he nodded in agreement.
Wang Yao was displeased. This Hua Tuo was no good either. He knew that Hui Shuo called him "father" and "mother," but he acted as "grandfather" and unknowingly became a generation older than him. Wasn't he taking advantage of him?
"Your Grandpa Hua has always been conscientious in treating patients, but as you know, there are some illnesses that doctors can't cure..." Hua Tuo continued, seemingly unaffected.
"Why?" Hui Shuo blinked and looked at Hua Tuo.
“Uh… this is a damn hard thing to explain…” Hua Tuo was also taken aback by Hui Shuo’s question, but he was more experienced than Wang Yao. He blinked and changed the subject.
