"By the way, Sha Sha, let ask you: do you still want to be my woman?"
Liu Ergou's sudden question caught Leng Shasha off guard, but she quickly composed herself and replied, "I do!"
After hearing her response, Liu Ergou said nothing more. He simply gave her a mysterious smile before turning to leave, leaving a perplexed Leng Shasha behind. She couldn't understand what the smile Liu Ergou wore as he left was supposed to an.
By now, Liu Ergou had already entered Baozhi Hall and was heading straight for the office on the second floor.
「anwhile.」
Far away in Ting Tian Pavilion, Mi Xiaoying was frowning at the person standing before her. Looking at the man, Mi Xiaoying's frown deepened. "Yuan Wenkang, do you have any idea how much you've embarrassed ?"
Although Mi Xiaoying's tone was even, Yuan Wenkang couldn't help but shiver.
Originally, Mi Xiaoying had intended to use this incident to teach Liu Ergou that she was not to be trifled with. To her surprise, however, her plan had backfired and played right into Liu Ergou's hands, leaving her to be mocked. This was sothing no one could tolerate!
Facing the expressionless Mi Xiaoying, Yuan Wenkang swallowed nervously before finally speaking up. "President Mi, you can't really bla for this!"
"No one could have predicted this turn of events. After all, life is full of surprises! Even if you brought my dad here, he wouldn't dare claim he could predict the next move with one-hundred-percent certainty, especially not in the fickle stock market!"
Indeed, the plan to deal with Lu Shuangyue had been Yuan Wenkang's idea. What he hadn't anticipated, however, was that his clever sche would backfire so spectacularly and infuriate Mi Xiaoying.
After listening to his explanation, Mi Xiaoying snorted with disdain. "Hmph! Yuan Wenkang! No matter how eloquently you speak, it can't make up for this stupid ss you've created!"
Hearing this, Yuan Wenkang nodded repeatedly in agreent, but deep down, he was thinking sothing else entirely.
Once I take down Lu Shuangyue, this Mi Xiaoying won't be able to escape either. Sooner or later, I'll have them both kneeling before !
Just as Yuan Wenkang was lost in his fantasy, Mi Xiaoying suddenly spoke again. "Yuan Wenkang, I've already investigated the matter concerning Liu Ergou."
"For three generations, his ancestors were just ordinary village doctors, nothing more. But a few months ago, he suddenly appeared on the public's radar. Even Fu Yan, who works for the county, seems to be quite close with him. Are you sure this information I found is accurate?"
Yuan Wenkang nodded vigorously. "President Mi, the information you found must be correct, because my findings were more or less the sa."
"My records just contain so scattered, trivial details. For instance, Liu Ergou got involved with Lu Shuangyue through selling dicinal herbs, and they started an herb-planting cooperative in the village. Their main buyer is soone with the surna Bai."
As he said this, Yuan Wenkang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Ah! President Mi, I have a bold idea! What if we go after that person nad Bai?"
"We can give him a stern warning not to buy any of the herbs Liu Ergou is growing. Then all of Liu Ergou's work will be for nothing! It'll bankrupt him!"
The words were barely out of Yuan Wenkang's mouth when Mi Xiaoying's expression changed drastically. In a warning tone, she told him, "Yuan Wenkang, I advise you not to get any ideas about that person nad Bai. If you're looking to get yourself killed, don't drag down with you. I know you're from Jingdu, so you should be aware of the major families there."
As soon as she said this, a look of shock spread across Yuan Wenkang's face. "What? That person is a Bai... No way! How could soone from their family possibly show up in a backwater place like this? It's impossible!"
Seeing his shocked expression, Mi Xiaoying snorted disdainfully. "If a fool like you can show up here, why can't they?"
Being called a fool made Yuan Wenkang's expression turn ugly, but he quickly composed himself. He was about to say sothing more, but Mi Xiaoying waved him off.
"Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You can go. If you have a good plan for dealing with Liu Ergou, just go ahead and use it. That's all. Oh, and let know the instant you have any news about him."
Seeing that Mi Xiaoying had dismissed him, Yuan Wenkang said nothing more and turned to leave.
But after just a few steps, his eyes lit up again, and he turned back to Mi Xiaoying. "President Mi, I just thought of a way to deal with Liu Ergou! This plan will definitely work!"
"It'll definitely make that kid suffer! I just need your help. After all, I'm a stranger in these parts, so my word doesn't carry much weight."
Mi Xiaoying had no desire to discuss it further with Yuan Wenkang and simply waved her hand. "Fine. Use whatever thod you have. Call if you need sothing, and if I can help, I will. I won't fail you."
Having received Mi Xiaoying's assurance, Yuan Wenkang nodded eagerly, then turned and left without another word.
After leaving Ting Tian Pavilion, Yuan Wenkang's face darkened. He took out his phone and made a call to the Sixth Master. After laying out his instructions, he hung up with a sinister smile.
Liu Ergou, oh, Liu Ergou! This ti, I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve. I'm going to make you lose everything, leaving you with absolutely nothing!
With that thought, Yuan Wenkang turned and departed.
Back inside Ting Tian Pavilion, Mi Xiaoying sat in her chair, incessantly flipping through the few thin pages of the file. As she read, she muttered to herself, "Liu Ergou... how on earth did you appear out of nowhere? You must be hiding secrets. And there's nothing I enjoy more than digging up secrets. Just you wait, Liu Ergou. I'll uncover every single secret you have, sooner or later. You think your dical skills are so impressive? Fine. We'll start there."
A confident smile spread across Mi Xiaoying's face. She took out her phone and made a call, which connected quickly.
"This is Mi Xiaoying. Mobilize all the traditional Chinese dicine practitioners in the city. I want to hold a symposium and invite every reputable doctor. Oh, and make sure you don't forget to invite soone nad Liu Ergou."
After giving her instructions, Mi Xiaoying went back to perusing the thin file on Liu Ergou.
