Chapter 152: Chapter 151, It’s Not a Shame to Admit Defeat

Yan Liuli said wearily, ”Yesterday, after I went back, I threw that Buddha pendant into the public toilet’s septic tank with my own hands, thinking that would solve everything.”

”But...”

As she spoke, she revealed a pained and terrified expression, ”But after I fell asleep last night, I dreamt of that monk again. It was like he crawled out of the septic tank, and then...”

She didn’t continue, but Xu Wendong could guess what happened next. Even without her saying, it was clear that the monk must have assaulted her in the dream again.

”He even said I had committed an unforgivable sin and wanted me to fetch his Buddha pendant. Otherwise, he’d make me wish I were dead!”

”Doctor Xu, you must save me!” Yan Liuli gripped Xu Wendong’s hand in terror, her eyes full of pleading.

Xu Wendong hadn’t expected her situation to be so dire, but he still said, ”Things have reached this point; you absolutely must not retrieve the Buddha pendant. Although he entered your dream again, the septic tank can affect him.”

”Let me give you a prescription for Calming Soup, drink a bowl before you sleep.”

Saying this, he opened a drawer and took out a piece of talisman paper.

He knew there were many illnesses in the world that doctors couldn’t cure, so he had prepared talisman paper before the clinic opened. After taking out the talisman paper, he bit his fingertip, using blood as ink, and drew an ancient and mystical rune on it.

Drawing the rune seemed simple, but Xu Wendong felt completely drained, far more exhausting than playing a threesome with Lin Yiren and Huang Ruirui.

After all, it consumed a lot of mental energy.

”First, let me talk to you about dreams.”

Xu Wendong said, ”We all dream, constructing an illusory world. That is our domain; this is something you need to remember firmly.”

”In our own dreams, each of us is the creator. You must distinguish between dreams and reality. As long as you can make this distinction, you won’t encounter fearsome things in your dreams.”

Yan Liuli said painfully, ”But I can’t tell!”

”The Calming Soup can help you distinguish between dream and reality.” Xu Wendong smiled and continued, ”Hold onto this talisman when you sleep; it will accompany you into the dream. If that monk appears in your dream again, do not fear him, because the stronger your fear, the stronger he will become.”

”Once he gets close to you, stick this talisman on his forehead, and he will vanish without a trace, never to appear in your dream again.”

Yan Liuli asked suspiciously, ”Is this talisman really that magical?”

Xu Wendong smiled, ”Whether it’s magical or not, you’ll know once you try.”

This talisman was called the Evil-Dispelling Charm, a nemesis to all malevolent spirits, including the ugly monk in Yan Liuli’s dream, which was a kind of malevolent spirit.

Once the Evil-Dispelling Charm appeared, it would certainly destroy him.

”Alright, I’ll go back and try it.” Yan Liuli forced a smile and then asked, ”How much for this talisman?”

Xu Wendong said, ”No charge.”

???

Yan Liuli looked surprised, ”You don’t charge for treating people?”

While grabbing the herbs for the Calming Soup, Xu Wendong said, ”This is not a charity, of course, I charge. But since you are my first patient after the clinic opened, you have a significant commemorative value to me, so the fee is waived!” He then wrapped up several kinds of herbs.

Yan Liuli smiled, ”Well, I won’t disturb you any longer. Take care while you’re busy. Once I thoroughly get rid of that dream, I will definitely give you a pennant.” With that, she turned and walked out.

”Mom, what did that guy say?” In the Mercedes, Yan Shuangshuang asked impatiently, knowing that her mother often had a recurring strange dream.

”He gave me some medicine and drew a talisman,” Yan Liuli said, leaning tiredly on the seat, ”Give up on the South City reconstruction project.”

”What? Give up on that project?” Yan Shuangshuang gasped, ”Mom, we’ve invested over three billion in total into that project. If we give up now, our Shengpeng Group will have nothing left!”

Yan Liuli sighed, ”After these two contacts, Xu Wendong gave me an unfathomable impression. We can’t fight against him.”

”And that project’s schedule is tight. If we let the South City reconstruction project rot in our hands, the losses will be severe. It’s better to sell it off and pay back the one billion debt.”

”At least we can keep the Shengpeng Building.”

Yan Shuangshuang said helplessly, ”I admit that this indeed can minimize the losses, but even if we want to transfer the South City reconstruction project, who would dare to take over?”

”Now, who doesn’t know that the South City reconstruction project is a tough nut to crack?”

Yan Liuli said, ”Xu Wendong dares to take it.”

Yan Shuangshuang looked astonished, then said, ”No, no, we can’t give this project to them. If we do, wouldn’t we be admitting their superiority? How are we supposed to maintain our standing in Qingyuan?”

She could sell this project cheap to anyone but Xu Wendong, for she deeply resented Xu Wendong for forcing her to kneel and repent at Zhao Sihai’s grave.

Yan Liuli said nonchalantly, ”You must remember, we and they are not the same; we are either black or white, rivers or lakes are not enough to restrain us.”

”And sometimes an active defeat can also be an excellent story.”

Saying this, she looked at A Fu, who was driving, ”Later on, contact Wu Mei and tell her that we’re willing to transfer the South City reconstruction project to them for a price of one billion.”

A Fu sighed, ”Chairman, this matter probably isn’t so simple. From what I know about Xu Wendong, he’ll definitely try to lower the price, just like with that demolition payout. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have spent an extra six billion!”

”That guy is a mad dog; once he targets you, you’ll definitely lose some skin, if not your life.”

Yan Liuli said, ”There is no absolute good or evil in this world. From a neutral standpoint, I find Xu Wendong’s move brilliant, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

After pausing, she continued, ”Contact Wu Mei. They will certainly take over this project, as it is the only way they can showcase their abilities.”

”Yes!” A Fu responded reluctantly.

Xu’s Medical Hall.

After seeing off Yan Liuli, Xu Wendong returned to his medical book. This book he had bought earlier; it recorded many names of Chinese herbs and their properties, listing thousands of medicinal herbs, reflecting the former glory of Chinese medicine and the wisdom of the ancestors.

”Good morning, Mister Xu.”

Hearing Gou Shengli’s voice, Xu Wendong looked up as he walked in wearing a black suit, followed by a father and daughter.

Upon seeing the young girl, Xu Wendong squinted his eyes, a gleam flashed in them. The girl’s condition was somewhat rare!
