Chapter 357 - Spiting Miss Wu

Li Xin felt like the conversation in front of her was so strange. Then again, since Wang Yusheng behaved like he had reasons to believe Liu Xiaodan, she didn't question his words at all. This doctor was still one of Li Heilong's most trusted men. Now that he believed that Wu Shuang had a reason to actually harm her, then she accepted it just the same.

It's just that… it hurt to hear that she was harmed by someone for the sake of harming her older cousin brother. However, it turned out that it was all for naught. She was now more inferior to Li Feng and Mian Bingbing in the heart of her big brother. She even felt more inferior to that cursed Mian family.

In the end, she didn't care anymore. She only turned away. This Li Heilong ceased to be her older brother from that very day he sent unknown people away to that province.

She was about to speak when she heard it. That very sharp and scary voice coming from Wang Yusheng… it was something that she didn't know existed. She didn't believe that such a thing could come from this pushover doctor that she could hit every time she wanted. However, he was just next to her. Even she felt the tremble that affected Liu Xiaodan's body.

"Hmph, who cares if you solve her serum? If you can do it, then it shouldn't be something worth her pride." Li Xin snorted to disturb the building fear in her body. She then turned to Wang Yusheng. "If such a thing existed, then you should be able to fix me. But look at me, look at my arm! It's still not getting any better!"

"Stupid woman..." Wang Yusheng couldn't help his tongue right now and clicked it. In the face of the shocked and offended Li Xin, the doctor remembered that she was still one of her patients. He then finished patching her bleeding arm. "Miss Li, your mother actually told me not to tell you the real situation, but since I need to assure you of my medical expertise, let me tell you."

He just decided to break a promise. "You're actually dying. This wound in your arm had been poisoning you for a while, and without my needed doses arriving in the country, I can only mitigate the pain and slow down the decay. As for the poison in your body, it is what these shots are for. 

"Don't be afraid. Three more days, and you will be fixed." Wang Yusheng regained his gentle face, but Li Xin was still shaking. She… was dying?

"Dr. Wang treated my friend in a few hours before… it was this serum Miss Wu spoke of." Liu Xiaodan hummed. "That was because everything he needed was in the laboratory in that place. You don't have to worry about it failing. Dr. Wang is also a god like your older brother."

Li Xin moved her eyes in Liu Xiaodan's direction and frowned. She didn't need reminding that Li Heilong was a god, but this man next to her was a lesser one for sure. However, she still lowered her head and stared at her bleeding halved upper arm. "I want my big brother..."

While they were talking, Wang Yusheng was already packing his stuff. When he heard her murmur, he could only disappoint her. "Boss is at work. You can't see him. I'll tell him you want him to come."

Li Xin glared that Wang Yusheng again. 'But you never did.' No matter how much she asked this lesser god to call on her older brother, Li Heilong never came.

"...Miss Li, is it true that you tried to kill your big brother?" Liu Xiaodan asked somewhat casually, and the woman was shocked. It didn't matter if it would go without saying, but how dare he ask her this casually? Was the crime that light to this man? However, before she could chase him out, he spoke, "It looks like you adore him a lot. Why would you dare to do something very dangerous? If there was no Dr. Wang, he could have died."

"Who are you to tell me what to do and what not to do?! Go away!" Li Xin swung her other hand, but Liu Xiaodan caught it. She was even creeped out as the man's palm was freezing yet soft, very white without visible color in his veins… like he was a corpse in the morgue. "Get away from me!"

Liu Xiaodan smiled. "Miss Li, please tell me what you know of Miss Wu."

The woman snorted. "Only when you can return my arm!"

"What are you?" Li Xin murmured as she felt nothing but fear. She locked her eyes on him and saw nothing much but the smile of a dead person. Her lips trembled, and she opened her mouth. "I only knew her from galas and parties. Big Brother never showed up in pointless gatherings, and so I always represent the Li family. Please don't hurt me. I beg you, I'll tell you everything you need!"

"I actually don't need much from you. I don't think you can give me more than what you just said." Liu Xiaodan smiled. "I only want to spite Miss Wu, so… can you please get better?"

She remained quiet. The man let go of her, and the time freeze somewhat dissipated as soon as it came. Liu Xiaodan got up from the bed and went to fetch the two people. He was done for the day. As for what happened next, he was just going to wait. Besides, Wang Yusheng had already mentioned a timeline. In three days, she should be able to start her recovery.

Moreover, in that time that she was in the time freeze, Guangru and Bihan were going through her thoughts. It might not be her memories, but it was enough for her to recall their meeting and the words that this Miss Wu had spoken. Most importantly, they located the place of the prosthetic arm. Based on Tang Mingming's estimation, that person should know something about Wu Shuang's lab.

Liu Xiaodan also didn't brush off the possibility of Li Heilong coming after that woman first. Wang Yusheng made quite a big reaction towards her, and even if Liu Xiaodan didn't know why, it was enough for him to know that Wang Yusheng was greatly offended by that woman. Who knew how much of a grievance should his people receive before Li Heilong makes a move for them?

In the end, things were easier than what Liu Xiaodan thought… until he picked up a whiff of familiar blood scent.
