Chapter 946: Chapter 938: You Guessed Right
"You can’t blame me either. You were just a child then. How could I tell you about such things? You should have had a happy childhood, and you and Sisi have not had it easy all these years." Hu Jingtang reminisced about the scenes from when the two children were little.
Liu Rui saw the conversation going off track, so he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, we now have a chance to get Father out, but it depends on whether you’re willing to help."
"If there’s such a good thing, then I will definitely help. Do you have any good ideas?" Hu Jingtang asked.
"The father of the person who put my father in jail is now sick. They’re begging Lin Mu to treat his father. This is certainly a good opportunity to negotiate," Liu Rui said, without making things too clear. He was first testing his grandfather’s attitude, understanding that his grandfather would likely not want to take advantage of someone else’s misfortune. Sure enough, he was right.
"Isn’t it a bit unethical to do that, using someone’s father’s life to threaten them? Besides, I don’t think Xiao Yifei would agree," Hu Jingtang said.
"Grandpa, their father’s life is a life, but should my father’s wasted days in prison just be wasted like that?" Liu Rui suddenly got angry. noveldrama
"Don’t rush. Aren’t we discussing it now? If it’s really feasible, then go for it. I won’t stop you," Hu Jingtang said, softening his stance as he saw Liu Rui was upset.
Liu Rui realized his attitude was a bit harsh. He didn’t know what had gotten into him. He had always been indifferent to everything, yet here, he was easily angered. Feeling embarrassed, he changed his sitting position. His grandfather was hospitalized and still he was getting angry, which really shouldn’t have happened.
"Grandpa, there’s definitely no problem with this. That person has a high position now, and releasing my father would be a very simple matter. Also, we’re not making things difficult for him. Once he releases my father, his father will be saved. It’s such a simple choice, shouldn’t it be easy to decide?" Liu Rui said, with a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"The main goal now is to persuade Lin Mu to cure Deng Fuguo’s father’s illness. I know Xiao Yifei can save him, as long as he uses the Xiao family’s ancestral skills," Liu Rui analyzed.
"You make it sound simple. Do you know how damaging the Biwei Silver Needle is to doctors? Xiao Yifei’s grandfather passed away like that, and I don’t want Xiao Yifei to suffer the same misfortune. Although he is a doctor, I also don’t want him to risk his life," Hu Jingtang said, not even realizing how Liu Rui knew about the Biwei Silver Needle.
But he didn’t have time to pursue these trivial matters now. It was only today that he realized Liu Rui had grown up without him noticing, grown into someone who no longer needed his care and protection.
"Well then, Grandpa, you first tell Xiao Yifei. If he disagrees, I’ll talk to him," Liu Rui suggested.
That night, Xiao Yifei specially brought over some meals.
"This is made by Tang Rong. It may not taste as good as your cooking, but it’s good for nourishing the body," Xiao Yifei placed the food on the table one by one, and Hu Jingtang began eating in small bites.
"I think this girl Tang Rong is quite good. You have to treat her well," Hu Jingtang said after taking a bite.
"Of course, meeting Tang Rong is the blessing of my life," Xiao Yifei said, unable to hide the smile in his eyes when mentioning Tang Rong.
"I heard there’s an important person in the hospital now. How’s the situation?" Hu Jingtang cautiously inquired.
"I don’t think there’s any treatment. But the other side has a strong background, and his son has come to plead with me. I really have no choice, so I agreed to give it a try," Xiao Yifei said, troubled.
"In that case, have you considered using the Biwei Silver Needle for treatment?" Hu Jingtang knew this was an excessive request, but people are selfish, and he felt ashamed for asking such a thing.
"I don’t know. I’ve been considering it. But I’ve seen the side effects of the Biwei Silver Needle with my own eyes, and I’ve never used it before. So I’m unsure," Xiao Yifei said.
In fact, when he agreed to Deng Fuguo, he had considered this method of treatment. But he was hesitating, unsure what might happen after using it.
"Then give it a try. The other party has contributed so much to the country, and eventually, you’ll use the Biwei Silver Needle one day," Hu Jingtang advised.
"Then I’ll try it!" Xiao Yifei’s expression was still a bit hesitant, unsure of what he was afraid of.
"Hello, this is Liu Rui. Let’s make a deal!" Liu Rui called Deng Fuguo.
"I’ll persuade Xiao Yifei to definitely cure your father’s illness, and then you’ll release my father, okay? I think this is a very profitable plan," Liu Rui said after they met.
"It seems the little kid from back then has really grown up, already thinking of such a plan to negotiate with me." Deng Fuguo’s face showed no expression.
Liu Rui always disliked being called a kid. He frowned slightly but held back the urge to swear, telling himself that now was not the time to act impulsively.
"Xiao Yifei is my grandfather’s student. Anything my grandfather doesn’t want him to do, he definitely won’t do. Likewise, he also won’t refuse any request from my grandfather," Liu Rui said in a seemingly calm tone. Having been in society for some time, he had learned quite a bit.
No matter when, presence and confidence are very important. At first, the moment you start speaking, you can stun your opponent, and things will probably go much easier. Many things need not only presence but also a seemingly relaxed tone, which works better.
"What makes you so sure Xiao Yifei will be able to save my father?" Deng Fuguo asked, realizing he shouldn’t underestimate this young man in front of him, who looked like a college student just entering society but was more mature inside than him, someone who had been in the bureaucracy for years.
"Because he’s my grandfather’s student, that’s enough. And I think you’ve heard of Xiao Yifei’s grandfather’s title as the Divine Doctor. You must know that such a title is not one that just any doctor can hold," Liu Rui said, though he actually wasn’t sure if his grandfather had persuaded Xiao Yifei or not.
"Then it’s settled, once your father’s illness is cured, you’ll release my father," Liu Rui said, though he was a bit worried that Deng Fuguo might back out later. Even if he did back out, Liu Rui would have no way to challenge him, given Deng Fuguo’s position and authority.
"Then it’s settled. You go back now and settle things with Xiao Yifei. My father’s illness can’t be delayed any longer." Although Deng Fuguo verbally agreed, he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to be threatened by a young man with no background, and even if Liu Rui caused any trouble in the future, he had nothing to fear.
