Chapter 408 - The Raging Blood Spider (1/2)

Qin Haodong explained, “Sir, your son wasn’t sick. He has been poisoned!”

Fernand yelled, “That’s impossible. I’ve read the blood test report. There’s nothing abnormal about it, no clue of toxins at all. Now you’re telling us that he has been poisoned? That’s unreasonable!”

Qin Haodong looked at him disdainfully and said, “You’re so narrow-minded. The blood test can only detect the toxins that have been registered. There’s a world of unknown toxins that are yet to be found.”

Li Site said sternly, “Then what kind of toxin is it?”

Qin Haodong answered, “If I’m right, he must have been to the woods before he got sick.”

Li Site said, “That’s right. He likes hunting and has been to the primitive forest lately. What’s wrong with that?”

Qin Haodong replied, “There’s a creature named Raging Blood Spider. It’s rarely seen, but its toxin is quite unique. Its bite will cause insanity. The longer the bite is, the more serious the situation will be. The symptom won’t stop until the victims go completely insane.”

Li Site asked, “You mean my son has been bitten by this spider?”

Fernand cried out, “No way! I’ve been working for so many years. I’ve never heard about that spider before. You’re lying!”

Li Pingan interrupted him and said, “Dad, I remember I’ve been bitten by a small black spider in the forest. I didn’t care much about it because bug bites happened a lot during hunting.”

Qin Haodong said, “It would be easy to remove the toxin if we had found it earlier. It would only take two doses of medicine. However, through all these years, those quacks kept failing to find the cause. Now the toxin has already dissolved in your blood.

“I wasn’t beating him. I was using a unique method to force the toxin out of his body. You can check the blood he spat out if you didn’t believe me.”

He then waved his hand. All the guests looked at the direction he pointed, only to find that the blood had already turned black. It had solidified on the ground like dried jelly. The bricks on the floor looked as if it had been corroded by something, looking ragged and weird.

“It’s poisonous, indeed.”

Although Li Site knew little about medicine, he had basic common sense. Health blood wouldn’t fall on the ground and solidify so fast, and it wouldn’t corrode the floor, either. The only possible explanation was that the blood was highly toxic.

That was to say, Lin Pingan had been poisoned, and the doctor wasn’t just beating him. He was trying to force the toxin out of him.

He looked at Li Pingan and found him look better, without any clue of going insane.

Now he was pretty sure that Qin Haodong beat his son in order to cure him. So he said, “I’m sorry, Doctor Tang! It’s a misunderstanding.”

As soon as Li Site said that, Fernand and the others became nervous immediately because that equaled an approval of Qin Haoodng’s treatment on Li Pingan. They all wanted to cure Li Pingan so that they could ask Li Site to punish Qin Haodong.

Now the situation went opposite to their plan. They could do nothing about the unknown disease and had been beaten violently. Qin Haodong hit Li Pingan and forced the toxin out of him. Those people were so afraid that Qin Haodong would ask Li Site to kill them all.

Li Site was so influential in the Golden Triangle that he could kill these people like killing bugs.

In fact, they were worrying too much. Qin Haodong couldn’t care less about these people. And he wouldn’t even have taught them the lesson if they hadn’t demeaned Chinese medicine.

Seeing Qin Haodong heal his son, Li Site was more than happy. He looked at Gullit, whose face was swollen, and then he said to Han Baochang, “Now that Pingan has recovered, I’ll double the reward. Pay each of them 20,000 dollars and send them away!”

Han Baochang answered and had someone to show Fernand, Gullit, and the others out. Li Pingan went for a shower and got his clothes changed with the help of the servants, leaving Li Site and Qin Haodong in the room.

Li Site asked, “Doctor Tang, did my son fully recover?”

Qin Haodong shook his head slightly. “He missed the best time to receive treatment. Now the toxin is deeply rooted in his bones. I have forced most of the toxin out this time, but there is still some residue, and he will go insane again once a month.”

Li Site seemed tense. “Is it serious?”

“Not that much. I’ll write him a prescription and try to remove all the toxins out of his body. He’ll fully recover by then. Should he miss this opportunity again, then the disease would be much more serious than before.”

Actually, Qin Haodong could remove the toxins all at once, but he chose not to. Li Site was the ruler of this place, and Qin Haodong would like to leave that as a bargaining chip for future negotiation. There was no doubt that Li Pingan could be the best bargaining chip.

Zhou Tianhu had lived in Burma for so many years, and Qin Haodong still hadn’t figured out his relationship with Li Site, so he decided to be careful.

“Thank you, Doctor Tang.”

Li Site didn’t suspect what Qin Haodong had said. Li Pingan had been sick for too long and other doctors all failed to find the cause. He was totally fine with it if Qin Haodong could cure his son, no matter how long it would take.

He said, “Doctor Tang, I’ll pay you 10 million this time. If you heal him in the future, I’ll pay you an extra 20 million.”

Qin Haodong seized the opportunity and said, “Sir, I don’t need that money. I need your promise.”

Li Site looked at Qin Haodong in surprise. 30 million was a large sum of money. He wondered why the young man rejected it.

“Just tell me what it is. I can promise you anything here in Burma.”
