Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Apologize to Your Uncle Xia Liu

"Brother Liu, you shouldn't say that, it's definitely Qinqin who made the mistake.""I did not, it's his car that violated the rules, and he didn't even have his driving license..."

"You dare to argue!" Hearing his daughter's retort, Li Zhong repeatedly scolded her.

Ten minutes later, Xia Liu, Li Zhong, and Li Qinqin left the county bureau under Chen Jin's wry smile.

Chen Jin firmly remembered Xia Liu. He couldn't fathom the extent of Xia Liu's influence, which made Li Zhong come running without regard for anything else and even severely scold his own daughter. To provoke such a reaction from Li Zhong, Xia Liu must be an influential character; Chen Jin would have to treat him with great respect if they ever met again.

"Brother Liu, I owe you an apology here, Qinqin is too impulsive and has caused you trouble," Li Zhong kept apologizing to Xia Liu in the car.

"Officer Li, please don't say that, Officer Li is also working for the people. I think her attitude is good, 'better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go free.'"

"You're absolutely right, that's my motto."

"Motto my foot, if you dare to talk back again, don't blame me for telling your mom." Li Zhong was already resigned when it came to his daughter; if she could inherit even a bit from him, this kind of problem would never have occurred.

After that, Li Qinqin pouted and didn't dare to speak anymore. During the conversation between Xia Liu and Li Zhong, she kept stealing glances at Xia Liu.

She wanted to see what was so different about him. If her guess was correct, it was he who cured her mother's illness with a few needle pricks.

She wasn't superstitious, and was somewhat unwilling to face this fact. Apart from being handsome and well-built, Xia Liu didn't seem special.

Xia Liu couldn't refuse Li Zhong's invitation and visited their house for a meal again, which annoyed Li Qinqin to no end. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been scolded by her father, having lost all face in front of her colleagues.

Yet Li Qinqin's dislike was of no use; as soon as Xia Liu entered, Li Zhong's wife, Xu Fang, warmly welcomed him.

Without Xia Liu, Xu Fang might not have lived another six months. Her death wouldn't matter to her, but she couldn't bear to leave her daughter and husband behind, especially knowing her daughter had inherited her illness, which was the most painful thing. If she died, she definitely wouldn't be able to rest in peace.

Now it was different. Xia Liu had appeared and cured her illness. If Li Qinqin's illness could also be cured, their family would be complete.

Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't yet eaten, Xia Liu took Xu Fang's pulse and found her recovery to be quite good, even better than that of an ordinary person.

"Brother Liu, I'm very sorry, let me drink three cups as a self-punishment first."

"Officer Li, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I might still be in the station." Xia Liu was telling the truth; if not for Li Zhong, he might not have got out safely, and if something else had been stirred up, it would have been even more troublesome.

The two exchanged smiles and drained their glasses. During the meal, Li Qinqin kept sneaking glances at Xia Liu.

She didn't dare to speak; she understood that her parents now saw Xia Liu as a benefactor. If she dared to voice a single word of opposition, she would definitely receive a lecture from both of them in turn.

To obtain the right to speak, she had to expose the real Xia Liu. How could there possibly be cases of curing illnesses with just a few needle pricks in the world?

After dinner, as the sky darkened, the four sat on the sofa chatting. Li Zhong suddenly went to the room, brought out a bag, and said, "Brother Liu, this is the cash that Qinqin confiscated from you today."

The moment he took the money, Xia Liu sensed something was amiss, "Officer Li, I didn't have this much money, you..."

"Brother Liu, that's just a small token of my gratitude. Also, I have another favor to ask of you," Li Zhong said with a wry smile, interrupting Xia Liu's words and then added, "I would like to ask you to cure Qinqin's illness as well."

"Officer Li, that's where you're wrong. I've already promised that I will definitely cure Qinqin's illness," Xia Liu said while opening the bag and taking out the excess money.

"Pssh, aren't you afraid of spraining your tongue with all that grand talk!" Li Qinqin, standing to the side, couldn't hide her displeasure. She detested Jianghu charlatans the most, and now, to make matters worse, her parents had been completely taken in by one.

Smack!

Standing behind Li Qinqin, Xu Fang slapped her on the butt: "You shut up, you little wretch! If you dare to disrespect your Uncle Xia Liu again, I'll have your father tie you up and throw you in the room!"

"Uncle Xia Liu..." Xia Liu couldn't help but give a wry smile. If they were to compare ages, Li Qinqin was actually a year older than him. The title of "uncle" was really...

Li Qinqin herself was stunned; being asked to call Xia Liu "uncle" was more unbearable to her than death!

"Qinqin, come here and apologize to your Uncle Xia Liu! Don't make me angry!" Li Zhong's attitude suddenly changed.

At his side, Xia Liu could clearly feel the aura exuding from Li Zhong, the kind that belongs to those in positions of power, revealing that this county chief definitely had a stern side.

Seeing her father's demeanor, Li Qinqin lowered her head. Nothing scared her more than her dad getting angry, so she found herself saying to Xia Liu, "I'm sorry."

"Who are you apologizing to!" Li Zhong continued to rebuke angrily.

"I'm sorry, Divine Doctor!"

...

"It's okay, County Chief Li, I'll get ready and then start treating Qinqin." Xia Liu said, feeling a burst of awkwardness watching Li Qinqin's behavior.

"That's excellent, but Brother Liu, don't feel compelled. Qinqin isn't in a rush; otherwise, we could find another time for the treatment." Li Zhong was already thrilled inside, but he couldn't show it too directly—sometimes, subtlety was required.

"Dad, since he's so confident, we should cooperate. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful," Li Qinqin objected now. She was determined to expose Xia Liu and not a second later would do.

Xia Liu merely smiled and said nothing; carrying silver needles with him was routine, and all that was needed was for Xu Fang to get a basin. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

To avoid disturbing Xia Liu, Li Zhong took Xu Fang and left the room, secretly fearing his own excitement might impact Xia Liu's efforts in the living room and cause them to miss a critical opportunity.

Once her parents had left, Li Qinqin wasn't convinced. Now it was all about results—if her illness persisted, Xia Liu was nothing but a fraud!

In Li Qinqin's room, the two were alone, and Xia Liu took her pulse.

Honestly, on the surface, this girl seemed even more vibrant than a healthy person, but the pulse couldn't hide the genetic illness she suffered.

Compared to Xu Fang, Li Qinqin's case was much simpler—five silver needles combined with the Fire Spiritual Energy would suffice for a cure.

However, before starting the treatment, the corner of Xia Liu's mouth twisted into a sinister smile.

"You'll have to take off your clothes when I insert the needles; otherwise, I can't locate the acupuncture points accurately."

"What! I have to take off my clothes!" Li Qinqin screamed suddenly. As a proud, unwed woman, how could she casually undress in front of someone, especially a man?

"A doctor sees no distinction between men and women," Xia Liu said gravely.

In truth, Li Qinqin had received information from her adopted sister, Fang Fei, that some clothing needed to be removed when her mother was treated.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Qinqin bit her lip and slowly began to lift her clothes...
