After arriving at the clinic, the landlady sister Wang Xiaoqi finished her morning exercise today and ca to help at the clinic.
n and won working together, less tiring.
But today, Li Chuan still felt a bit uneasy.
This state made him appear sowhat distracted.
Wang Xiaoqi, who was next to him, noticed Li Chuan's odd deanor and couldn't help but say, "Chuan, have you been tired these days? Do you need to take a day off?"
Li Chuan waved his hand, "Sister Xiaoqi, there's no need."
After mastering the Path of Feng Shui, Li Chuan also understood face reading. When he previously saw those people from the Wild Wolf Gang, he predicted that within two days they would face disaster.
But for himself, Li Chuan had no way to forecast.
Six Yao calculates the world's affairs, even Plum Blossom can be puzzling at tis.
Li Chuan not only couldn't predict his own fate, but he couldn't even calculate the fate of those close to him.
After Wang Xiaoqi accompanied Li Chuan for a loving lunch, she was too tired and went back for a nap.
Shortly after Wang Xiaoqi left, Han Chen ca in excitedly carrying the Thousand Mountain Jade Leaves he brought from the Seven Bowls Tea House.
"Mr. Li, you're amazing, everything you said ca true!"
"Early this morning, another force arrived in Jiangzhou City and clashed directly with the Wild Wolf Gang. Although the Wild Wolf Gang held the upper hand for now, it's apparent that there were heavy casualties. The guys I sent over reported back that the blood flowing at the site was like a creek!"
Han Chen appeared very excited, "Mr. Li, I know you don't drink when treating people, but this is the freshest tea from Thousand Mountain Jade Leaves. Let's drink a cup as a toast."
Li Chuan slightly smiled, taking the tea water Han Chen handed over, "In this case, the Wild Wolf Gang will certainly gather their experts to co to Jiangzhou City."
Han Chen nodded, "Correct, the latest news I got is that the Wild Wolf Gang has organized hundreds of cars, heading to Jiangzhou City's expressways. But even if they call for reinforcents, it's likely to be useless."
"Because this ti, the organization against them is the Jingwu Association, which has over 200 years of history, solid foundations, and many experts! Its overall strength far exceeds that of the Wild Wolf Gang!"
Li Chuan nodded, "Let them fight it out for now. We'll just watch from the sidelines for now and won't rush to step in."
Now let them bite each other. After their strength is sufficiently depleted, the people he spent a great deal of money training will be about ready for combat.
After Han Chen drank tea at the clinic for a while, he took his leave and left. He needed to keep an eye on the construction site at all tis and focus on training his subordinates; he had a lot on his plate.
As dusk approached, Douzi, wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, ran joyfully into the clinic.
As soon as she saw Li Chuan, Douzi said, "Brother Li, my dad told that we owe you a great favor, so we need to repay your kindness. I'm now in the first grade of primary school, and generally have nothing to do after classes, so I'll co to your clinic to help. While I can't do much else, I'm good at wiping cabinets, sweeping floors, and cleaning up."
"Brother Li, please don't refuse . If I don't do sothing to help you, I can't focus on my studies."
Hearing this, Li Chuan was speechless for a mont, thinking how Douzi shared his personality, not wanting to accept kindness for free. After a pause, he said, "Douzi, are you willing to learn dicine?"
"If I learn dicine, can I beco a great doctor like Brother Li?" Douzi's eyes lit up.
"As long as you study hard, you can definitely do it," Li Chuan smiled.
In today's society, pursuing academics is not the only path. Many college graduates still end up doing nial labor.
"Great! I'm willing!" Douzi's eyes shone.
"Alright, if you help here, I will teach you so dical knowledge. Of course, learning Chinese dicine is very tedious and challenging; you'll need to be ntally prepared."
"Douzi is not afraid of hardship!" Douzi said firmly, knowing this was an opportunity, a chance to change her fate!
After settling matters with Douzi, night slowly fell, and Li Chuan closed the shop door and took a Didi ride back to Panlong District.
Everybody living in Panlong District had their own luxury cars, while Li Chuan was the only owner to take a Didi ride.
Upon entering the villa, Li Chuan slled the enticing aroma of food.
Good food, good wine, and beautiful company—what a treat.
After dinner, the two engaged in a post-al activity. As Song Hanzhang showered and fell asleep, Li Chuan received a call from Li Yong.
"Brother, you've been out for days now, were the herbs sorted out?"
Li Yong's hoarse and bitter voice ca through the phone, "Chuan, Brother might not be coming back. Look after Dad and your sister-in-law for !"
Li Chuan felt a shiver down his spine, "What happened?"
Li Yong's voice was hoarse, filled with hopelessness, making Li Chuan realize his unease today was because his brother, Li Yong, was in trouble!
"Chuan, Brother's old problems flared up! This ti I've caused big trouble!"
Li Yong's voice cracked, "I just wanted to broaden my horizons, but I never thought... never thought I'd lose everything in a mont of craze..."
"I now owe money on a high-interest loan, and there's no way I can pay it back!"
"I can't drag you into this, Li Chuan, just pretend you don't have a brother like !"
"Brother! Brother! What are you saying! Siblings stick together! Isn't it just gambling debt! I have money! I'll give it to you!" Li Chuan imdiately understood the situation and frantically spoke in comfort, hearing the sound of waves crashing against rocks through the phone. If his brother acted on impulse and jumped into the sea, it'd be impossible to find his remains!
By then, how could he face his father back ho!
How could he face his sister-in-law!
"Chuan, it's no use, it's too late; your money... it's likely no good because... just now, Brother bet on one of his hands..."
"This..."
Li Chuan was montarily at a loss for what to do.
Even if he could transfer the money to Li Yong now, the other party wanted his brother's hand!
As a practitioner of Chinese dicine, losing a hand was a fate worse than death!
Thinking of this, Li Chuan also felt a pang of despair!
