C97 (1/2)
”Wait!” ”Big brother!” In the instant that the wild man raised the whip, Xia Li's voice was so loud that it broke.
”You want to hand over the painkiller's prescription?” The boorish man raised his whip and asked.
”Yes, I remember now, but the prescription is far away. Only I know. Can you untie it for me? I'll take you there.” Xia Li cautiously asked.
”Alright!” The brawny man untied the rope on Xia Li's body and raised the whip in his hand high up, preventing her from escaping.
”Hurry up and find the medicine!” The brawny man impatiently urged Xia Li.
Xia Li's wrist was rubbing against the rope until it was red, enduring the pain on his wrist, he secretly touched the medicine on his waist, and sprinkled it on the wild man.
In the blink of an eye, the brute directly fainted on the ground, she ran out of the forest, and bumped into Sun Chun.
”Why did you come so late!”
Xia Li's heart jumped, he threw himself into Sun Chun's embrace, and tears flowed out.
”The county magistrate went to drink flower wine last night and got up late, so it was late for County Yamen to open the door. Day Rui and I reported it together and were worried about your safety, so I came over early.”
”Seeing that you're safe, I finally feel relieved. On the way here, my stomach suddenly hurts. I'll go find a place to lie down first.”
Sun Chun said, without waiting for Xia Li to reply, he went around to the back of the forest and disappeared without a trace.
The yamen runner from County Yamen followed closely behind. He rushed in with Day Rui and caught the unconscious wild man and the sobbing Xia Chunhua together.
”Sir, thank you for your hard work!” Xia Li went forward and bowed to the few yamen runners.
Miss Xia Li, your subordinates reported that four people kidnapped you, but there were only two of them present. The leader of the constables asked Xia Li.
”That bastard, he dragged my daughter into the forest in front of us. Your highness, I beg you, my daughter!” Xia Chunhua was the first to shout.
The bailiff looked at Xia Li, who nodded and they rushed into the forest. What they saw shocked everyone.
Jin Xi'er laid on the ground, his entire body was covered with bruises, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, he stared blankly at the sky, and the black faced man who was lying beside her had actually fallen asleep.
”This bastard!” Let me go, let me beat this scumbag to death! ” Xia Chunhua was like an angry lion as he bit the bailiff's arm, and rushed in front of the black faced man, his sharp nails grabbing onto him, leaving behind a red five-fingered mountain handprint on the black faced man's face.
”Pain!” Get lost, you stinking woman! ” The black faced barbarian slapped his palm onto Xia Chunhua's chest, knocking him down to the ground. Just as he was about to run away, he was caught by the constables present.
There were many men present, so Xia Li took off his outer robes and helped her put it on before handing her over to the yamen runner.
”Miss Xia Li, since you have falsely accused these few people of conspiring to steal your pain-relieving medicine, why don't you come with us?” The leader of the constables said to Xia Li.
”Alright.” Xia Li nodded.
When Sun Chun came out, he had already left with the bailiff for quite a while. He was filled with contradictions in his heart and could not bear for Xia Li to face it alone, yet he had no choice but to avoid people with County Yamen. This was the cruel reality that he had no choice but to face, and he could only wait inside the hospital.
When the sky was about to turn dark, Xia Li and Day Rui came to the hospital together. She didn't look good, and sat on the stone table without saying a word.
Day Rui came over to Sun Chun's side and quietly told him what had happened that day.
”Young Master Sun, the shopkeeper went to the County Yamen with the bailiff. The moment the County Yamen s came out, the county magistrate gave the two barbarians and Xia Chunhua a twenty percent reward. They immediately admitted that they had conspired to snatch the shopkeeper's pain-relieving medicine formula. ”The county magistrate has arrested all of them. That's enough.”
”What happened next? Rich Man Yang and the rest were not summoned by the County Lord? ” Sun Chun also had an answer in his heart.
”No, the shopkeeper wanted the county lord to find the Rich Man Yang to confront him in front of the court, but he was kicked out of the County Yamen by the county lord's random sticks.”
After Day Rui finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed.
”Day Rui, you've been busy the whole day. Go back and rest.” As Sun Chun said that, his gaze had already shifted towards Xia Li.
Day Rui nodded and left.
”You don't have to advise me. I'm fine now. There's no problem.” Xia Li's heart was heavy, but he tried his best to cover it up, and revealed a big smile towards Sun Chun.
”The fact that the Rich Man Yang and the County Yamen are colluding is a well-known fact. You don't have to be sad over this, your arm can't even be twisted, so it's understandable that you can't tolerate it for the time being.” Sun Chun hugged Xia Li and consoled her.
”I have to work hard to expand my hospital business. I definitely won't lower my head to these people.” Xia Li said resolutely.
”Un, work hard!” Sun Chun nodded with approval, concealing the worry in his eyes, and hugged Xia Li tightly.
When Xia Li woke up, it was already noon. The sunlight shined down onto the house brought about a blinding light, Xia Li rubbed his eyes and pulled up the curtain covering the house. After washing his face and going out, he saw Day Rui reporting the news to her in a flustered manner.
