"Sister, where's the money? Doctor Li is asking for it!" Xu Zhao hung up the phone with Doctor Li and immediately rushed to Xu Zhiru like a ghost.
His tone was impatient and his face was full of impatience.
"Five million, not five hundred yuan. Do you think you picked it up on the street?" Xu Zhiru was looking at the bank transfer page with distressed eyes, her tone very unhappy.
Five million, gone just like that.
She felt her heart was bleeding.
"Sister, is this the time to feel sorry for the money? What if that old guy turns against us and gives us away? Not to mention five million, even fifty million won't be able to save us!" Xu Zhao stomped his feet in anxiety.
He doesn't want to go to jail, and he doesn't want to lose everything.
"I know, I know. Why are you rushing me?" Xu Zhiru muttered impatiently, her fingers still operating on the screen.
Although it hurts, she still understands the truth.
Spending money to avoid disaster, this is the only way I can comfort myself now.
She completed the operation quickly and sent a screenshot of the successful transfer to Dr. Li.
"Is this okay now?" Xu Zhiru threw the phone aside in annoyance.
"That's better!" Xu Zhao was still a little worried, frowning.
Not long after, Xu Zhiru's phone rang. It was Dr. Li who replied to the message.
"Don't worry, Miss Xu. I've received the money. I'll arrange to leave right away. I promise to keep this a secret and won't bring any trouble to you two."
Seeing Dr. Li's reply, Xu Zhiru finally breathed a sigh of relief and her tense nerves relaxed.
"Finally done." She rubbed her eyebrows, feeling tired.
"It would be better if that old guy is really reliable!" Xu Zhao still muttered, obviously not trusting Dr. Li.
"Okay, stop saying these discouraging words. The money has been given out. What else can we do?" Xu Zhiru glared at Xu Zhao unhappily.
"The most important thing now is to think about what to do next."
On the other side, inside the cafe.
Ning Nanxue looked at the text message on her phone and frowned slightly.
"Is Dr. Li going to run away?" she murmured to herself, her tone solemn.
"It seems that Xu Zhiru and her brother also realize the seriousness of the matter." Jiang Tingchen sat opposite Ning Nanxue with a calm expression.
"They must be panicking. Doctor Li is their biggest weakness. Once we find him, they'll be completely finished." Manager Song said from the side, his tone tinged with excitement.
"So, we must get ahead of them and find Dr. Li." Ning Nanxue's eyes were firm.
"Tingchen, have you arranged the staff on your side?" Ning Nanxue looked at Jiang Tingchen.
"It has been arranged. The people I arranged are searching the entire city for Dr. Li's whereabouts. I believe there will be news soon." Jiang Tingchen nodded in a steady tone.
"I'll help too!" Manager Song immediately raised his hand, looking very enthusiastic. "There's strength in numbers!"
Ning Nanxue glanced at Manager Song and knew that she really wanted to help, so she nodded.
"Okay, Xiaoli, you come too. Let's split up and find Dr. Li as soon as possible."
The three of them immediately split up and began a carpet search in the city.
However, Dr. Li seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of him.
The hospital had no such person, the clinic was deserted, and even the hotel where Dr. Li had stayed had no record of his stay.
"This Doctor Li is really cunning!" Manager Song said somewhat discouragedly, sitting down on a chair in the cafe.
"Could it be that Xu Zhiru and her brother moved him away in advance?" Manager Song speculated.
Ning Nanxue shook her head. "Probably not. If they had the ability to transfer Dr. Li earlier, they wouldn't have waited until now to rush to pay."
"Then where did Doctor Li go?" Manager Song became even more confused.
"Keep looking. I don't believe he can completely disappear." Ning Nanxue's eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable.
At the same time, Xu Zhao also received news that Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen were looking for Dr. Li everywhere.
"What? They are actually looking for that quack doctor Li Ming?" Xu Zhao panicked when he heard the report from his subordinates.
"Sister, this is bad! Ning Nanxue and the others seem to be looking for Dr. Li!" Xu Zhao immediately rushed to Xu Zhiru with a panicked tone.
"What?" Xu Zhiru's face changed and the makeup brush in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Why did they think of going to see Dr. Li?" Xu Zhiru's voice trembled slightly.
"I don't know either. Maybe he guessed something." Xu Zhao was so anxious, he was spinning around. "Sister, what should we do now? If they find Dr. Li, we're done!"
Xu Zhiru was also panicked. She didn't expect Ning Nanxue to find the key point so quickly.
"No, we can't let them find Dr. Li!" Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth and her eyes became fierce.
"Xiao Zhao, hurry up, contact a lawyer and ask them if there's anything they can do!"
Xu Zhao immediately took out his cell phone and called his lawyer.
After listening to Xu Zhao's story, the lawyer was silent for a moment and gave some advice.
"Mr. Xu, the situation is urgent. The best solution is to arrange for Dr. Li to leave the country as soon as possible, the farther the better."
"Leave the territory?" Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment. "But how do we get him to leave? Will he listen to us?"
"Money solves all problems," the lawyer said calmly. "Tell Dr. Li that if he's willing to go abroad to avoid the spotlight, you're willing to pay a higher price and guarantee him a worry-free life in the future."
Xu Zhao's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what the lawyer meant.
"Yes! Money! As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to discuss!"
Xu Zhao hung up the phone with his lawyer and immediately contacted Dr. Li again.
The call was connected quickly. Xu didn't bother with the politeness and went straight to the point.
"Doctor Li, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen are looking for you. The situation is urgent. You must leave as soon as possible!"
Dr. Li on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard something and his tone was a little nervous.
"I've guessed it, Mr. Xu, what are your plans?"
"We are willing to give you more money as long as you go abroad immediately, the farther the better. We will arrange everything and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!" Xu Zhao said in an urgent tone, fearing that Dr. Li would refuse.
Dr. Li was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"Okay, I promise you, I will arrange your trip abroad as soon as possible. And please rest assured, I, Li, know how to act in moderation and will definitely not bring any trouble to you two."
After hearing Dr. Li's assurance, Xu Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.
"That's good, that's good! Doctor Li, I'll leave everything to you!" Xu Zhao said in a flattering tone, and he wanted to kneel down to Doctor Li immediately.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I'm willing to do anything for money." Dr. Li chuckled and hung up the phone.
Xu Zhao let out a long breath, sat down on the sofa, and felt exhausted all over.
"Finally, it's stable." Xu Zhao murmured to himself, his tone filled with a hint of relief at surviving the disaster.
