"Old man, please get up quickly. What are you doing? Why are you still kneeling at my door? This, this... If the neighbors knew about this, they would definitely poke me in the back... Get up, get up quickly!"
Zhang Yuan acted very flustered, as if what he saw was an incredible thing.
In fact, it was all done intentionally.
He just helped old man Li Aiping up and ignored the others, especially Li Ruobing.
Li Ruobing has been looking at Zhang Yuan.
She tried several times to make eye contact with Zhang Yuan, and then get Zhang Yuan's attention and ask her to stand up.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan deliberately avoided looking at her.
After helping Li Aiping up, he invited him home.
Seeing Zhang Yuan so enthusiastic, Li Aiping's impression of Zhang Yuan rose to a higher level. He felt more and more that Zhang Yuan was a honest, simple and kind young man.
As he and Zhang Yuan walked home, he said:
"Dr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I'm so sorry because I... have caused you so much trouble."
Zhang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly:
"Old man, as long as you are healthy and safe, it doesn't matter if I give you a little. You are so old, how can you kneel down to a junior like me?"
"If I knew you hadn't left, but were still kneeling... I would have opened the door and welcomed you in the first place."
"Come on, come on, sit... sit quickly!"
As he said that, Zhang Yuan took Li Aiping to sit on the sofa at home.
However, Li Aiping did not sit down immediately, but clapped his hands vigorously.
Bang bang bang!
As Li Aiping's applause rang out, Bai Sheng, who was kneeling outside, immediately stood up.
Looking at the people behind him, he said:
"Hurry, deliver the gifts."
Then, everyone carried in 10 suitcases.
Among them, 4 suitcases contained cash and 6 suitcases contained precious Chinese medicinal materials.
After putting down the gifts, all the men in suits retreated, and only Bai Sheng stayed.
At this time, Li Ruobing naturally stopped kneeling.
She rubbed her sore knees, gritted her teeth, held the door, and walked into Zhang Yuan's house.
Zhang Yuan still did not go to see Li Ruobing, and repeatedly declined to say to Li Aiping:
"Mr. Li, this is unacceptable. How could you give me so many gifts?"
"This is too formal. I just helped you out. There's no need to be so formal, right?"
Li Aiping waved his hand.
"Dr. Zhang, I know everything. Because of me... you have suffered a lot of unfair treatment. Even your Chinese medicine clinic was burned down. I am sending you something to show my appreciation. You must accept it no matter what. Otherwise, I will feel guilty..."
"Don't worry, Dr. Zhang. When I get back, I will immediately arrange for someone to decorate a most luxurious Chinese medicine clinic for you."
"I want to compensate you for everything you lost. You are my benefactor, and this is what I should do..."
Having said that, Li Aiping turned his head and looked at Li Ruobing.
"Um... Also, Ruobing has done a lot of wrong things, and she knows she was wrong now."
"Now, let Ruobing apologize to you as well. I hope Dr. Zhang will not argue with Ruobing for my sake."
Li Ruobing endured the pain in her knee and hurried to Zhang Yuan.
He said apologetically:
"Dr. Zhang, I was wrong about you before. I..."
Ahem!!
Cough cough cough......
Before Li Ruobing could continue speaking, Zhang Yuan interrupted her with a cough.
"Ms. Li, please don't, please don't... You are not wrong, how could you be wrong? So... let's talk about our relationship later."
"I just want to talk to the old man alone now. Would it be convenient for you to go out for a while?"
Li Ruobing???
She was stunned!!
I was so embarrassed standing there...
He, he, he... is he sick... asking me to get out in front of my dad?
This is so abominable. Don’t I, Li Ruobing, have any respect?
......
Li Aiping finally realized that her daughter must have hurt Zhang Yuan deeply, and the pain could not be resolved with a simple apology.
then.
He gave Li Ruobing a look, signaling her to leave immediately.
Li Ruobing's little mouth was flattened in grievance, and tears kept flashing in her cold and beautiful eyes.
She didn't speak.
He endured the severe pain in his knee and walked out of Zhang Yuan's house step by step. When he left, he reluctantly closed the security door.
At this time, only Zhang Yuan, Lin Weiwei, Li Aiping and Bai Sheng were left in the room.
Next, Lin Weiwei was responsible for making tea and pouring water, while Zhang Yuan and Li Aiping chatted like two old friends.
Li Aiping did not reveal his identity as the richest man, and Zhang Yuan did not ask.
After a few polite words, they inevitably talked about Li Aiping's illness, which was also the issue that Li Aiping cared about most.
Zhang Yuan took his pulse again.
This time, Zhang Yuan was even more certain that Li Aiping was 100% poisoned.
Li Aiping looked at Zhang Yuan seriously and asked the question that had been brewing in his mind during this trip:
"Dr. Zhang, how did you determine that I was poisoned? Was it really just by feeling my pulse?"
Zhang Yuan nodded confidently.
"Yes, my method of feeling the pulse is a little different from other Chinese medicine practitioners. It's really hard to explain in detail..."
"Mr. Li, I can tell you with certainty that your poison has no antidote. It can never be cured in this lifetime. Even if I try my best, it still can't be cured."
Li Aiping's face became more serious, his eyebrows drooped, and his shoulders slumped...
Zhang Yuan continued:
"But... I can assure you that I can control this poison so that it won't take effect, thus extending your life by 20 years."
Extend life by 20 years???
20 years!!!!
Li Aiping's eyes lit up instantly, and he became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His mental state became different.
20 years, oh my god...20 years of life!!
Dr. Zhang is worthy of being Dr. Zhang. He really did not disappoint me. It was worth the trip!!
It is incredible that one can extend his life by 20 years. It is like a dream.
I am 64 years old now. If I live another 20 years, I will be 84 years old...
84 years old...I can’t even imagine it.
Before this, Li Aiping had consulted countless experts, whether they were top Western medicine professors or masters of traditional Chinese medicine.
The most authoritative answer ever given.
The Western doctor told Li Aiping that if he used organ replacement therapy, he could extend his life by about 10 years. If medical technology is advanced in 10 years, he could live longer...
But the prerequisite is that Li Aiping spent a considerable part of his time lying in bed during these 10 years, and he also had to take drugs to prevent rejection reactions.
In short, people will suffer a little.
After all, replacing an organ requires a recovery process, and the body will reject it for a long time...
The answer given by the master of traditional Chinese medicine was that Li Aiping could live five years longer, but this was already the limit of traditional Chinese medicine and also the limit of Li Aiping's body.
The master of traditional Chinese medicine told Li Aiping not to have any Western medicine surgery. Once he did, his remaining energy and spirit would be lost, and he might not live beyond three years.
Li Aiping still has great faith in traditional Chinese medicine, so he finally chose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
Even if I can only live for 5 years, these 5 years will be more fulfilling and I won't have to suffer so much.
But now.
Zhang Yuan told him that it could extend his life by 20 years.
This is 20 years!!!
He instantly killed the top professor of Western medicine and the master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Others might think that Zhang Yuan was speaking nonsense at such a young age, but Li Aiping felt extremely comfortable listening to it.
And I believed this very much.
"Dr. Zhang...2...20...20 years...20 years...I...I..."
For a moment.
Li Aiping's eyes were red and his mouth was opening and closing, as if he had thousands of words to say.
But all he could say were a few stuttering words.
He is so happy.
This feeling is totally indescribable.
At this moment, in Li Aiping's eyes, Zhang Yuan was more intimate than his first love.
......
Zhang Yuan saw Li Aiping like this.
It is clear that the old man must be very excited and thrilled.
However, Zhang Yuan wanted to give him a more exciting experience and ask the old man for help as well.
Just think of this.
Zhang Yuan frowned and said:
"Mr. Li, I understand you. Don't get excited. I know 20 years is too little. It's really too little."
"At your current age, with your financial resources, and with your character... you should live 30 years, or even longer. I can indeed strive for 30 years for you..."
"It's just... this is really difficult for me... No, it's too difficult. With my current ability, I really can't do it, unless..."
When it comes to the word "unless".
Zhang Yuan deliberately emphasized his tone and paused.
His entire expression turned serious.
Li Aiping was stunned by what he heard.
What???
30 years? Just a little difficult for you?
Good boy...
You can be so strong???
At this moment, Li Aiping was completely crazy. His old eyes turned red and tears flowed directly because he was too excited.
He grabbed Zhang Yuan's arm in a very inappropriate manner.
She looked at Zhang Yuan lovingly, even pitifully:
"Zhang... Zhang Zhang... Divine Doctor Zhang, you said... except... except what? Unless what???"
