BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29 Affirm You Are…
Chapter 29 Affirm You Are...
At the moment, the voice of the servant comes. Han Fei and Han Lu look at each other and say to Li Yong at the same time, “My dad has come back.”
“You don’t have to tell me that.” Li Yong says with a grin and then puts down the glass, lying back on the bed. He feels like not getting enough sleep.
“You mustn’t come out.” Han Lu orders him and then gets out of the room with Han Fei.
Hearing that they’ve walked away, Li Yong sits up cross-legged and starts to practice.
As to Li Yong, only practicing can help him recover his internal strength and physical strength while sleeping is just a total waste of time and life. Every time he finishes practicing, he will feel rather energetic, which is much effective than sleeping for 100 years.
However, at the moment he is about to get into the status of practicing, he is woken up by Han Lu.
“Li Yong, wake up. My dad asks to meet you.” Han Lu shakes Li Yong’s arm and softly requires.
Li Yong gets to wake up with a feeling of great pain in his head. He takes a deep breath and realizes that he cannot be disturbed while practicing; otherwise, he may become deranged.
Li Yong cannot help complaining about the unpleasant intrusion, but he doesn’t show it. He stretches out his arms and then jumps off the bed, following Han Lu to the living room downstairs.
In the living room, here sits a middle-aged man who is slightly fat. Judging from his body shape and recalling the pretty plump woman, Li Yong feels that they two just make a perfect couple.
The middle-aged man is Han Lu and Han Fei’s father, and president of Han’s Group, Han Dongtao.
He is wearing a casual suit, appearing bothered by a lot of things and yet quite energetic. He looks very serious and seems to have encountered big troubles. However, when he sees Li Yong walking downstairs with Han Lu, he becomes a bit relieved. He stands up and says in a nice tone, “Hello, Doctor Li Yong.”
“This is Dad.” Han Fei standing aside introduces to Li Yong.
Li Yong holds Han Dongtao’s hand in a hurry and says hastily, “Dad...”
He feels his hand held tightly and realizes that he made a big mistake. It is Han Fei’s fault. She just said he was Dad without mentioning whose dad he was, causing Li Yong mistook calling him.
“What did you just call me?” Han Dongtao gets very serious as if a thick gray cloud is hovering around and it is going to rain.
“Mr. Han, I am sorry for stumbling on a word just now.” Li Yong hurries to apologize. Although he wants to have a dad so much, he cannot just randomly take one anyway.
“Why were you upstairs?” Han Dongtao senses something weird from the calling of “Dad” and starts to look over Li Yong in a skeptical way, trying to find out which daughter Li Yong has relations with.
“I slept for a while upstairs.” Li Yong tells him honestly.
“What? You slept upstairs?” Han Dongtao knows there are only two bedrooms upstairs. One is his elder daughter Han Lu’s and the other one belongs to his younger daughter Han Fei. He looks towards Han Lu and Han Fei immediately, asking, “Where did he sleep? Who brought him upstairs to sleep?”
Han Lu and Han Fei look at each other and dare not speak. At the moment, they realize that it is insane to let a man who they are not so familiar with sleep at home. Their reputation will be ruined if it is disclosed to the public.
“Mr. Han, here is what happened...” Li Yong acts calmer and tells Han Dongtao about the whole thing. He got tired and slept upstairs because he used up his strength to cure Han Lu.
Hearing Li Yong’s explanation, Han Lu and Han Fei start to speak as well.
However, Han Dongtao just doesn’t believe Li Yong’s words. Neither does he believe what Han Lu and Han Fei say. Besides, he only dashed home because he got a phone call from his father saying that Han Lu was poisoned by heavy glucoside.
“Oh, Doctor Li. I’ve wronged you. Come on, please take a seat.” Han Dongtao has gone through a lot of ups and downs after all. He has sharp eyes and is a good judge of character–he knows that Li Yong is not lying.
Han Dongtao, who is slightly fat, sitting on the sofa decently, looks a bit serious.
Then he starts to ask Han Lu about her activities over the past two days. The poison of heavy glucoside can only hide in the human body for two days and it will show its effect within two days. Moreover, it can kill the poisoned victim within a short period of time.
The two bodyguards for Han Lu are also in the living room, who are inquired about the past two days’ situation as well.
At last, Han Dongtao only finds one doubtful point, that is, the period of time when Han Lu was in the Happy Clinic receiving Li Yong’s treatment and she was off guard by the two bodyguards. Han Lu was most likely to get poisoned during that time. Furthermore, Li Yong has been in the villa twice and stayed in the villa for a long time.
It means that the one who has the best chance to poison Han Lu is Li Yong.
Li Yong cannot believe that Han Dongtao should suspect that he is the poisoner. With his medical skills, does he even need to use poison if he wants to kill someone? Plus, he cannot even call the name of the poison, not to mention knowing what it is.
However, Han Dongtao’s reasoning seems nothing wrong. As to him, Li Yong is merely a stranger. To be frank, he doesn’t believe anyone at all, let alone a stranger.
“Mr. Han, are you suspicious of me?” Noticing that Han Dongtao is staring at him, Li Yong feels quite flurried.
“I am not suspicious of you but affirm you are...” Currently, Han Dongtao appears a poker face with slightly pale cheeks and sharp eyes, as if his face is covered with snow.
Li Yong gets panicked and nervous. All he wants to do is to save others’ life and he did try his best to save Han Lu. Nevertheless, it should bring him trouble consequently. Why would he have any reason to poison others? Even if he is to poison anyone, he will by no means poison a beautiful girl like Han Lu. Li Yong hastens to deny, “Mr. Han, I did not.”
“Dad, it could not be Li Yong.” Han Fei speaks for Li Yong first.
“She is right. Dad, Li Yong would never do such a thing.” Han Lu thinks for a minute and says. She can feel that Li Yong did make great efforts to save her. The feeling is so strong and true that he could not be faking back then.
Seeing the sisters speak for him, Li Yong feels touched and hastens to say again, “Mr. Han, I did not.”
“What did you not do? I mean I affirm you are not the person who poisoned my daughter.” It turns out that Han Dongtao was choked just now so he didn’t finish his words. It makes Li Yong so freaked out.
Han Lu and Han Fei look at the weird face of Li Yong and cannot help chuckling.
“That’s right. Never did I poison Han Lu.” Li Yong can swear to God.
“The heavy glucoside is very poisonous and expensive, which costs more than three million per gram. You are just a doctor and can’t be able to afford it. Besides, it is not easy to buy such kind of chemical poison even if you have enough money.” Han Dongtao can judge for himself.
Li Yong keeps nodding his head. Now he cannot agree with Han Dongtao more, feeling that Han Dongtao is not only a successful businessman but also very smart, wise and sophisticated.
“Doctor Li, before we find the cure, please keep providing the treatment for Lu. I know it is very difficult to suppress the poison. No matter how difficult it is, please do help us. I will give you 5 million per month.”
Han Dongtao looks Li Yong in the eye and says carefully in a sincere tone. Never has he offered anyone with such a high monthly salary, but today, he goes all out for his daughter.
Li Yong does the math secretly. 5 million for one month and that makes it 60 million for one year. It is really quite much. He says with a smile, “It’s too much for me.”
“Not really. It’s a deal.” Han Dongtao laughs happily. It is much better to hear Li Yong say “too much” than “too little.”
As a matter of fact, he offers the monthly salary of 5 million only to attract Li Yong on purpose.
In his opinion, it won’t take a few days before Han Lu’s grandpa, aka, his father to find the cure. If the cure can be found within three days, it won’t cost much when the salary is calculated on a day basis. He won’t care about that little money at all.
Yet, Li Yong is also faking being polite. From where he stands, he can absolutely make more than 60 million within one year with his clairvoyant vision and medical skills. He says with a grin, “Mr. Han, what do you expect me to do with such an offer?”
“It’s quite simple. Just follow Lu all the time and cure her anytime if needed.” Han Dongtao waves his hand and says.
All the time? Does he even need to follow her when she goes to washroom? Or when she goes to bed?
Li Yong thinks about it and says, “Mr. Han, I’ve suppressed the poison with my secret therapy. And it will not recur within a short period of time. She will not need my treatment for at least three days. Do I need to follow Ms. Han then? You see, it is not convenient for her to bring a man like me along her when she is working, right?”
Li Yong doesn’t want to follow Han Lu all the time. It is not that he doesn’t feel like being with a beautiful lady but that he has a clinic to run. He cannot leave out his business for taking care of Han Lu. The most important thing for him now is to develop his own career.
Besides, giving her treatment for one time almost exhausted all his strength so he must practice to restore it.
“Dad, I don’t want to take him with me all day long. If I feel anything wrong, I will make a call to him.” Li Yong doesn’t want to follow her. Neither does Han Lu want to take him with her. It doesn’t make sense to bring a man wherever she goes. He cannot follow her to the bathroom after all.
“Okay. You don’t need to follow her all the time under the circumstance when my daughter’s poison doesn’t recur. However, you have to stand by every day. You must prove you are worth five million with your heart and function.” Han Dongtao says frankly.
“Okay, I will try my best.” Li Yong hastens to say.
Right at the moment, someone screams upstairs. A pretty woman who is not decently dressed is running downstairs, crying and not wearing shoes.
“Xiaomei, what’s wrong?” Seeing his wife running downstairs so sadly regardless of her image, Han Dongtao goes forward in a hurry and asks the woman anxiously.
“Mom, why were you upstairs?” Han Lu and Han Fei are so confused, they thought their mom had gone abroad and would not come back in three days.
Sun Xiaomei didn’t know what happened either. She remembers nothing after she passed out. She jumps into Han Dongtao’s arms and starts to weep. She doesn’t look well. She feels that she has been taken advantage of.
