Chapter 209 Muscle Weakening Poison (1/2)
Dong Sihai, Zhao Qiankun had wanted to beg for mercy for long, but they wouldn't do it before Lei Tianrui spoke. Now that Lei Tianrui had already apologized, they followed him and yelled, ”Mr. Qin, we're so sorry; we really are. It was all our fault, please forgive and save us once more.”
Hu Xiaoxian was standing next to him and said, ”Haodong, they've already apologized. We're all Huaxia people after all. They have their own lives and you're a patient. You can't stand by and watch them being poisoned to death.”
Qin Haodong glanced at those people. He sighed and said, ”Fine. Now that you've mentioned it, I'll save them once again, because I am a doctor.”
”Thank you, Doctor Qin, thank you!”
Lei Tianrui and his fellows couldn't be too nervous just now. They were so afraid that Qin Haodong wouldn't save them. Now that he finally agreed, they couldn't stop thanking him.
Hu Xiaoxian knew that Qin Haodong was doing this mostly for her. She said, ”Haodong, I have to thank you, for them.”
”Not before I made my requests.” Qin Haodong took another sip of beer and said slowly, ”I said I'm a doctor, and doctors charged their patients. I can't treat you for nothing.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”That's reasonable. How much for each of them?”
Qin Haodong said, ”One million for each. Not a cent less.”
”One million? Isn't that too much?”
Lei Tianrui screamed out of surprise. They thought Qin Haodong might charge them for several thousand. It had never occurred to him that he would directly ask for one million, and that was for each of them.
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Haodong, isn't that too much?”
”Is it? I am saving your lives! So each of their lives is no higher than one million?” Qin Haodong asked, ”I've already given them a discount because we're all Huaxia people. You can check it on the internet about how much were those elixirs I sold to Old Maldini, and how much I charged him for diagnose.”
Hu Xiaoxian was speechless. She had investigated Qin Haodong when she arrived in Jiangnan City. She knew Old Maldini paid him 100 million for the treatment. Then he bought three elixirs, 10 million for each.
If that was the case, the one-million charge he offered for Lei Tianrui was quite reasonable.
She looked back to Lei Tianrui and his fellows. Those people remained silent. They were all masters from big families, with rich family backgrounds; however, one million was not a small number. The point was that they felt it so unfair to pay one million for a fruit of the Cannibal Vines.
Qin Haodong knew these people cherish their money more than their lives. He sneered and said, ”I'm advising you as a doctor that your bodies will start to fester within ten minutes. It would be too late for you to take the fruit then. You'll be hopeless.”
”So the one million is not for the fruit, but for your lives. You'll decide whether it's worthy or not.”
Lei Tianrui's heart lost a beat when he heard that. Qin Haodong might be scaring them, but one could never be more careful when it came to life health because there was still chance that what Qin Haodong said might be true.
Thinking of that, he said, ”I'll pay you the one million, but you have to treat me first.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, ”You've just lost all your credit. You have to pay in advance.”
”You...” Lei Tianrui was just about to be angry but his life was at risk now. He was in no position to be mad now. Finally, he had no choice but let Hu Xiaoxian get his phone and transfer the one million to Qin Haodong.”
After receiving the money, Qin Haodong looked at Zhao Qiankun and the other three. He smiled and said, ”Who else wants the treatment? Pay me now or the deal will be off. I tell you that I don't know how many fruits there are on the three. If there were only two or three, those who pay afterwards would lose their lives.”
Zhao Qiankun was having the second thought that Lei Tianrui could force Qin Haodong to treat them after he was cured, and then their money could be solved; however, he had to take it seriously after he heard Qin Haodong's words. He scrambled to yell, ”I'll pay! I'll pay you one million.”
Hu Xiaoxian took out their phones and transferred the money to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong nodded with satisfaction when seeing the number on the phone. He turned back and finger-snapped to the Cannibal Vines. Later five green fruits were handed to him.
Qin Haodong handed over the fruits to Hu Xiaoxian and had her feed Lei Tianrui and the others. It didn't take long before the toxins inside got cleared. Soon they had all recovered and could walk again.
As he felt that he had recovered, they blissed at first, but then their heart ached when he thought about the one million Qin Haodong had taken away.
”D*mn it, I'll burn that monster!”
Zhao Qiankun couldn't get back on Qin Haodong. The only thing he could do was bringing out a lighter and gasoline from the car. He wanted to set the vines on fire to vent his anger.
Hu Xiaoxian kicked off the lighter in his hand and said in anger, ”Are you insane? The fire will burn down the whole Shennongjia district! You'll die one hundred times for it then.”
Zhao Qiankun had gained some consciousness, and he knew he couldn't possibly commit the crime of arson. He could only take back the gasoline regretfully.
Lei Tianrui looked at Qin Haodong. He waved his hand and said, ”Let's hop in, now!”
Qin Haodong got in the car with the little fellow and Hu Xiaoxian. They kept driving further into the forest. Soon after they had left, five black shadows arrived. It was the Devilish Five that was chasing after them.
”What happened here, boss? The place is in such a mess. Looks like someone had fought here.”
Said a man who looked extremely gross. He looked fat, with a tumefied belly. His face was full of peanut-sized black bumps. He looked ugly and disgusting.
He was called Toad.
