Chapter 409: It's Not Always Good To Be Too Educated

Dai Li was one hundred percent sure that Ayres had met a scammer.

Someone took the results of my work to deceive people? This is not okay, thought Dai Li, suppressing the anger in him.

He then said, ”Mr. Ayres, for these kinds of cases, I still suggest that you look more into it, to see whether the person who helped Helheim recover was an Indian or not. Motorsport champion Helheim is a celebrity after all, and it is not difficult to get in contact with him or his agent. Not to mention the fact that you have coached over a dozen boxing champions in the past, so maybe some of them know Helheim.”

By the tone of his voice, this coach Li seems to know something, Ayres thought. Ayres was a wise man, and he noticed that there were some hidden meanings within Dai Li's words. However, this was the first time they had met, and their relationship was only slightly better than that of two strangers. Ayres couldn't count on Dai Li to say what was truly on his mind, and Dai Li couldn't speak without reservation to Ayres. Although people are capable of becoming friends the first time they meet, it is impossible for them to share everything that is on their minds with each other at the first meeting.

Dai Li and Taylor left the villa and got into the car. Taylor then asked, ”Coach Li, from what I've heard just now, it seems like you know who Lithium Day is. Do you think he is a liar?”

”If I said that the person who helped motorsport champion Helheim recover was not Lithium Day, would you believe me?” Dai Li asked.

”Yes! Of course, I would believe you.” Taylor nodded seriously. ”Coach Li, do you know the full story? You know the man who cured Helheim, don't you? He really isn't the one called Lithium Day?”

”Of course I know that physical therapist. We've been living and sleeping together for several decades! What he likes to eat, what he likes to drink, what kind of girl he likes, I even know where all his body hairs are! There isn't anyone in this world who knows him better than I do.” Dai Li shrugged.

”That's great, we should go back now and tell Ayres about this. Maybe he will change his mind and reconsider my offer,” Taylor said with excitement.

Dai Li, however, did not speak. He was silent.

”What's wrong?” Taylor glanced at Li. He suddenly recalled the words that Dai Li just said.

”Sleeping, living, and eating together for decades? Coach Li, is he your family? Your father? Or your brother?” Taylor asked immediately.

Dai Li shook his head. He was slightly amused at how long it took Taylor to catch on.

After pondering for a while, Taylor asked, slowly, ”Coach Li, that physical therapist, he's not you, is he?”

”You've finally caught on! The person who helped Helheim recover was me. I am that physical therapist,” Dai Li said while nodding his head.

”My God!” Taylor's body jolted back, his expression showed complete disbelief.

After more than half a minute, Taylor finally recovered and asked, ”Li, why didn't you tell Ayres just now?”

”Tell him? What do I say? That Lithium-Day is a liar, and that it was me who helped Helheim recover? Do you think that in that sort of situation, it would be appropriate to say that? What would Ayres think? Would he believe me? Even if he believed me, wouldn't he think that we were simply trying to get him to join us?” Dai Li asked.

”That...” Taylor thought about it carefully and didn't reply.

”Kevin, this is the first time Ayres and I have met. We don't know each other. To put it more accurately, we don't trust each other. Would you believe every word a person said if you just met them? It is as if you were just walking down the street, and a businessman handed you his business card and then introduced himself. You would think that he was a salesman, and you would not believe a word he said!” Dai Li said.

”Okay. I admit that what you say makes sense.” Taylor nodded and asked, ”Are you actually able to help someone who is paralyzed recover?”

”Rehabilitation is my specialty,” Dai Li said boasted.

”So, are you going to help Ayres?” Taylor asked.

”If he asks me, I will consider it.” Dai Li thought for a while, then said, ”But it is quite troublesome, what I mean is that the recovery process is troublesome. It takes a long time for someone who is paralyzed to recover. It could take months or even a couple of years. I don't have that kind of time right now. I am a sports coach after all, not a physical therapist. If I wanted to become a physical therapist, I would've just stayed in Europe two years ago, not come to America to set up a physical fitness training center.

”So even if Ayres asks for your help, you may not agree to help him?” Taylor asked.

”Kevin, you need to understand, everyone needs to do what is needed of them according to the situation. Look at the bosses of large technology companies such as Microsoft and Facebook. Their founders are excellent programmers, but are they still sitting by their computers writing code? Of course not! They are the CEOs of their companies. My main job now is to run my training center instead of working as a part-time physical therapist.” Dai Li patted Taylor on his shoulder. ”Of course, if time permits, I don't mind helping those who need help.”

...

Ayres sat on the sofa with a solemn look on his face. As Dai Li left, he kept asking Ayres to check whether the Indian physical therapist was a liar, which caused doubt to appear in Ayres' mind.

As the saying goes, repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth. Ayres was very confident in Lithium Day's ability to heal his wife, but after the reminders given by Dai Li, he couldn't help but start to feel suspicious.

There shouldn't be any problems, right? Ayres pulled out his phone and looked at his contact list. He was feeling hesitant about calling his Swedish friend to ask again.

He is helping me, after all. If I call him to ask again, wouldn't it seem like I don't trust him? We are, after all, friends. Doing this seems inappropriate, Ayres thought.

At that moment, Ayres' phone started to ring. The caller ID showed that it was his friend from Sweden that was calling.

”Turns out he is the one to call me,” Ayres said to himself. He then answered the phone.

”Hello old friend, I am calling to say sorry. I made a mistake. The information I gave you on the physical therapist was wrong!” the Swedish said.

There were problems with that Lithium Day guy after all? Ayres thought nervously. He had a premonition, so he quickly asked, ”Is the Indian fellow a liar? Or does this person have issues?”
