Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1207 Don’t Play Mind Games with Me

Lin Dong left the underground boxing ring on the negative first floor with Li Qiuci, headed straight towards the exit of the Crystal Palace.

Li Qiuci hurriedly said from behind, ”Master Lin, we still have two herbs that we haven’t collected.”

Lin Dong replied indifferently, ”You go get them for me, I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Li Qiuci was taken aback and involuntarily lowered her head.

”Lin... Master Lin, could it be... Could it be that you know? You know that those two herbs aren’t prohibited medicine?” Li Qiuci asked softly.

Lin Dong nodded, ”Not only do I know that those two herbs aren’t prohibited medicine, but I also know that you deliberately brought me here. Even more, I know that you were aware of Tian Zhu’s presence here beforehand, all of this was orchestrated by you purposefully.”

Li Qiuci’s face turned ashen in an instant, and her eyes began to well up with tears. She said with a trembling voice, ”Lin... Master Lin, I...”

Lin Dong looked at her, his face neither joyful nor sad, and asked faintly, ”Did you do this because you want to use my strength to achieve the purpose of dissolving your marriage agreement with the Tian Family?”

Li Qiuci nodded.

Lin Dong’s face turned an iron blue, ”So, you were using me as a pawn?”

”No, not at all. Master Lin, I never thought of using you as a pawn; I’m not worthy. I truly just want to dissolve the marriage contract. I don’t like Tian Ye at all; in fact, I despise him. I like men like Master Lin, but I also know that I, Li Qiuci, am not worthy of you.”

”But I am willing to remain unmarried for life, willing to be your female slave forever. Master Lin, please forgive me this once.”

Lin Dong remained silent.

These heiresses of wealthy families are all quite scheming.

Although they seem glamorous, they are actually a group of pitiable creatures.

Even with the wealth to squander and live a life of luxury and debauchery, they lack one of the most precious things: freedom!

They can’t make decisions about their own marriages. Whomever the family decides they should marry, they must marry.

They also can’t control most of their time. Whatever the family wants them to learn, they must learn. Like Li Qiuci learning eight foreign languages and those pleasure-inducing dances, do you really think she is willing to do so?

Li Qiuci does not seek other freedoms; she can endure the tedium of learning eight languages and can also endure the physical pain of learning those complicated dances... but she cannot bear to wake up every day in the future, to a man she does not like or even despises on her bed.

She only asks for one thing: freedom in marriage!!

She wants to marry someone she likes and admires, not those scions of wealthy families.

If the person she admires does not like her or will not marry her, then she would rather stay single for life!

”I’ll forgive you this time, but in the future, don’t play any tricks on me. I don’t like women who are scheming,” Lin Dong said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiuci let out a heavy sigh of relief, then replied with a smile, ”Yes, Master. Your female slave will surely obey your every command from now on.”

Lin Dong frowned slightly and waved his hand, ”I’m not Tian Ye; I don’t need you to be any female slave of mine. Remember, you are Li Qiuci!”

”The freedom you want, I can give it to you. However, never betray me. I never show mercy to those who betray me, no matter how beautiful they are.”

Li Qiuci hurriedly nodded, ”Yes.”

”Take those two herbs and go back,” Lin Dong said, waving his hand for the last time, marking the end of this affair.

Li Qiuci breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly went to fetch the two missing herbs, and afterward, the two of them returned to the Li Family.

After returning to the Li Family, Lin Dong asked Li Qiuci to prepare an alchemy furnace for him, and then he started alchemy with the furnace and the herbs.

Meanwhile, in Paocai Nation’s medical world, another big event shook the nation today.

First, the Paocai Nation Medical Association announced the sudden death of President Lee of the Li Family.

At the same time, they exposed some of his heinous deeds.

For instance, previously Chairman Li Junyi of the Li Family Conglomerate, during his tenure as the president of the association, had repeatedly abused his position for embezzlement, sex-for-power deals, economic crimes, and more...

The exposed ’dark material’ with conclusive evidence amounted to over a hundred items!

The Li Family Financial Group also made public some of the ’dark material’ about him, and the Li Family decided to posthumously expel the former chairman Li Junyi from the family records!

This incident immediately exploded all over Paocai Nation’s capital, with both upper-class society and the underclass abuzz with the news.

Not long after the news of Li Junyi’s accident, the Paocai Nation Pharmaceutical Association announced another development.

”The previous accusations of Medical Saint Jin Yuan being a traitor, intentionally losing to Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine, have been verified as rumors!”

”Medical Saint Jin Yuan has not betrayed our Paocai Nation’s Oriental Medicine. He hasn’t received a penny from Dragon Country Chinese Medicine; all those were slanders by the former president Li Junyi!”

”The Paocai Nation Pharmaceutical Association officially clears the name of Medical Saint Jin Yuan.”

This news, naturally, caused a greater stir than the news of President Lee’s mishap.

This issue instantly became a hotly debated topic among all citizens of Paocai Nation.

Of course, regarding whether Medical Saint Jin Yuan really committed treason or was slandered, the public of Paocai Nation formed two differing opinions.

Some believed in Medical Saint Jin Yuan’s character and did not think he committed treason. These people had witnessed his past medical ethics.

They are considered the more rational people of Paocai Nation.

Yet, there was another group of people who were unwilling to accept that Chinese Medicine had won over Eastern Medicine; they would rather deceive themselves, believing that Medical Saint Jin Yuan betrayed Eastern Medicine. These people were deluding themselves.

Both opinions were quite loud, so it wasn’t easy for Medical Saint Jin Yuan to truly restore his reputation.

At the same time.

At the Tian Family Business Empire of Paocai Nation.

The family head was Tian Wandai, father of Tian Ye and Tian Zhu.

At the moment, the corpses of his son and daughter were brought before him. He looked at them, deceased, and with raging anger roared:

”Who? Who the hell killed my son, killed my daughter?”

The servants hurriedly relayed all the information obtained from the Crystal Palace to Tian Wandai.

After hearing the details, Tian Wandai said fiercely, ”Damn people of Dragon Country, I won’t let you go; I want you shattered into ten thousand pieces!”

”And the Li Family, just wait. Your time to die will come soon.”

”Once my father completely takes control of the Paocai Nation Military Department, the Li Family will be the first one I target for retribution!”
