Chapter 1884 Another one?
Before the group of burly men present could react, Li Xiangnan continued speaking in a clear and loud voice, addressing not only the people in the morgue but also the neighbors nearby.
"This poison is incredibly strange. At first, the victim feels as if they've fallen into an ice cellar, chilled and shivering. Soon, their yang energy will decline, their meridians will become sluggish, and these unique ice cracks will quickly appear on their skin. Eventually, their entire body will become stiff and cold. If it progresses further, even the early-rising skin will be covered in frost! At that point..."
He stared at the burly man with the stern face at the head of the group and said, word by word, "Then they will lose all their life force—and die!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, everyone present froze, their breathing quickening.
"Hmph!" Li Xiangnan sneered. "The person who poisoned this poison is ruthless and must know the origin of this poison! Instead of searching for the culprit, you come here to cause trouble and force a diagnosis. What are you trying to do?"
After saying this, Li Xiangnan took a sudden step forward, his momentum reaching its peak, which forced the previously ferocious man to subconsciously take a half step back.
“I, Li Xiangnan, only seek to act with a clear conscience! Today, you forcibly broke into my home, destroyed my courtyard, injured my neighbors, and insulted my fellow villagers. Moreover, you were instructed by someone to force me to leave the hospital. Your intentions are despicable! If I were to treat this illness now, wouldn't I be bowing down to such despicable behavior?”
He sneered at all the wardens around him and shouted, "Won't that mean any Tom, Dick, or Harry will come to my door and cause trouble, using patients as hostages to force me to submit?"
The neighbors were both shocked and furious upon hearing this. They were shocked that Li Xiangnan had seen through the old man's poisoning at a glance and could discern so much from it. They were furious that the gang of quacks had indeed ulterior motives.
They were even more moved. Li Xiangnan's sense of justice and determination once again stood behind them, becoming their backbone and protector.
Upon hearing his words, the stern-faced man took another step back, his expression shifting between uncertainty and frequent eye contact with his men, caught in a state of anxious hesitation.
"but!"
Just then, Li Xiangnan seized the opportunity to change the subject, his voice carrying a hint of determination.
“I, Li Xiangnan, am a doctor. Doctors have the heart of parents. It is not our duty to stand by and watch someone die! Moreover, the old man seems to be innocent and should not become a victim of your conspiracy!”
He took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision, and glanced at his worried neighbors, a hint of guilt and reluctance flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't let his own abilities cause endless unrest in the entire courtyard.
"I can save people!" Li Xiangnan said, holding up his finger, each word distinct. "But I have two conditions!"
The burly man's eyes gleamed, and he subconsciously swallowed hard: "What are your conditions? Tell me!"
"First, immediately apologize to my injured neighbor and the neighbors who were just insulted, and compensate for the damage to the hanging flower gate!"
The burly man with the stern face glanced at Zhou Yuejin, whom he had pushed, and Yuan Zhencheng, He Dashuang, and Xu Damao, who were being pushed and punched by his men. He hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with his own men, and finally said with a stiff neck, "Okay!"
"Secondly!" Li Xiangnan's gaze turned cold. "I won't treat him here! These are all ordinary people. Who knows if you still have any poison on you? It wouldn't be good if it affected the neighbors! Besides, we won't let you break down the door to come in! There's nowhere to put your old man! Carry him back to your Hongxing Hospital, and I'll be there shortly to treat him personally!"
This request was completely unexpected by everyone!
Go to the Red Star Clinic?
Holy crap, isn't this their hideout?
This is a den of dragons and tigers; how can I venture in alone?
The neighbors immediately became agitated.
Li Xiangnan made it clear just now that he didn't want the old man's poison to spread to the courtyard. Even at this moment, Li Xiangnan was still thinking about everyone.
Yuan Qingshan grabbed Li Xiangnan's arm and shook his head, saying, "Dr. Li, you mustn't!"
Li Xiangnan gently shook his head at him; there was no time to explain now.
The burly man with the stern face was also stunned. His orders were to find a way to force Li Xiangnan out of the yard, or even kidnap him and temporarily take him away from the yard. But he never expected that Li Xiangnan would take the initiative to ask to go to their headquarters!
This completely disrupted their original plans.
Li Xiangnan didn't wait for him to think it over, and shouted sternly, "What? Is this all the coffin room can do? Are you feeling guilty? What are you afraid of? I, Li Xiangnan, am as open and honest as you think! Or are you saying that you don't care about your old man's life or death at all? You just want to cause trouble? If you really want to save him, do as I say! Otherwise, even if you tie me up and take me there today, I, Li Xiangnan, would rather die a bloody death than lay a finger on your old man!"
His resolute decision immediately stunned everyone.
This unwavering quality and will deeply moved everyone present.
The burly man's expression shifted rapidly, changing several shades in a short time. Finally, he glanced at the person behind him and gritted his teeth.
"Alright, as you say! Li Xiangnan, you've got guts! Our crematorium awaits your arrival!"
He glared at Li Xiangnan, clasped his hands in a fist salute, nodded to Zhou Yuejin, Yuan Zhencheng, and the others, and said in the manner of martial arts etiquette, "I'm sorry, everyone!"
He then pulled out a five-yuan note from his pocket and threw it into the arms of the oldest man, Yuan Qingshan, waving his hand and shouting, "Get on the pole, let's go!"
A group of people came in a menacing manner, but left just as quickly. They picked up the stretcher, packed up their belongings, and swiftly withdrew from the courtyard, leaving behind only a mess and a depressing silence.
In an instant, the neighbors who had realized what was happening gathered around, chattering and their voices filled with worry.
"Xiang Nan, how could you agree so easily? The grappling room is definitely fraught with danger!"
"Yes, Dr. Li, you can't put your own safety at the expense of us. You can't push yourself too hard. You still have a wife, children, and family to take care of!"
"Dr. Li, that place isn't so easy to get into. They clearly have ulterior motives!"
Li Xiangnan held Yuan Qingshan's concerned hand, his gaze sweeping over the caring faces, a warm feeling welling up inside him, and at the same time, his resolve strengthened.
"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, don't worry, I know what I'm doing! Some troubles can't be avoided by hiding; the only way to overcome them is to face them head-on! I can't let these people disturb everyone's peace and quiet again and again!"
He paused, his voice lowering as he spoke frankly: "I suspect these people's target might not just be me! If I leave, please be extremely careful and keep the doors locked at all times. If any unfamiliar faces come into the courtyard or loiter nearby, you must be extra vigilant! The men in the courtyard, please be alert and avoid falling into any traps. Also, strengthen your defenses, and if anything seems amiss, be sure to go to the police station or the neighborhood committee immediately!"
While these words reassured everyone, they also cast a shadow over the group.
Yuan Qingshan sighed heavily and patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder, "Child, I'm sorry to trouble you, you must be careful in everything!"
Li Xiangnan nodded, looking in the direction the people from the burial room had left, his eyes deep.
He knew that this journey would be fraught with unknown dangers.
His opponent laid a trap to force him to leave, but instead he deliberately stepped into their lair. This move was extremely risky.
But this is also the only way to break the deadlock and turn the passive situation into the active one.
But how did that ice marrow leech suddenly appear on the body of an old pimp in a brothel?
Is the person who poisoned the drug dealer the same person who orchestrated the drug lab?
Or is the water deeper than he imagined?
We need to tell Grandpa Li Dequan about this as soon as possible.
He hurried back to the central court, preparing his things while telling the old man about the conflict that had just occurred, preparing to face a trap.
Just as he was pondering how to deal with the trip to the brothel, Yuan Zhencheng suddenly ran over again, shouting that someone was looking for him outside.
Before Li Xiangnan could agree, he heard a timid, tearful female voice calling from near the front gate: "Dr. Li... Is Dr. Li here? I beg you, please save my father... My father seems to have also been infected with that Ice Marrow Leech..."
Li Xiangnan's hand suddenly stopped!
again?
So fast?
