270 Can’t Handle more Trouble
Lu Jiao said to Zhang Er, “I need to get ready. Give me a minute. I will go with you in a bit.”
“Okay, ma’am.”
Lu Jiao then glanced at Xie Yunjin, “Come with me.”
Xie Yunjin followed her into the east bedroom docilely. Smart Feng Zhi led Lu Gui and Zhang Er to the west living room so they wouldn’t hear Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin’s conversation.
Inside the master bedroom, Lu Jiao’s eyes were on Xie Yunjin, “Were you involved in Liang Ziwen’s injury?”
Xie Yunjin had no intention to hide anything from Lu Jiao, “I plotted it. Except I didn’t expect him to get hurt. I wanted him dead.”
Lu Jiao examined Xie Yunjin. He truly was the antagonist after all. Just because they butted heads, Liang Ziwen had to die?
Although… Without him dead, more troubles may ensue.
Lu Jiao asked Xie Yunjin, “What’s the situation? Is Liang Ziwen gravely hurt? He wouldn’t have come to Baohe Tang otherwise.”
Lu Jiao’s question upset Xie Yunjin. He glanced at her and said, “As you are aware, there are four great businessmen in the Qinghe district: Zhang, Liang, Cao and Wang. The Cao family has this third master who is highly incompetent and bullies men and women. Not only is he perverted, he’s also violent. He has a large group of concubines that he lives with in the city. He even has a few women that he keeps in other cities.
He has a mistress who is known to be as beautiful as a flower. She’s ran into Liang Ziwen before. Earlier, I intentionally asked someone to tell Liang Ziwen that the mistress wanted to see him, so Liang Ziwen went to see her.
Lin Dong and I then went to find third master Lin. We didn’t directly talk to him, we simply pretended to gossip and let it slip that we saw third master Cao’s mistress sneak around with another man. Master Cao is impatient and when he heard the news about his mistress, he asked no questions before he brought his people and went to Liang Ziwei.
Given his personality, I thought he would kill Liang Ziwen. But it appeared that he spared Liang Ziwen’s life. Perhaps this is due to Liang Ziwen’s family background.”
Lu Jiao’s first instinct was to worry about whether or not he had accidentally revealed himself.
If both the Cao and Liang families treat him as an enemy, he would have nowhere to escape.
“Did they catch you?”
“No. From beginning to end, Lin Dong and I concealed our faces. We even faked our voices.”
Lu Jiao nodded before she asked, “Liang Ziwen is fatally wounded from the beating?”
Xie Yunjin shook his head. He was embarrassed to explain, “I think it’s best if you don’t go. You should let Dr. Qi take care of him.”
“Why?” Lu Jiao thought that was strange.
Xie Yunjin clenched his teeth, “Third master Cao used a machete and chopped his bottom part in half.”
Now it made sense to Lu Jiao as to why Xie Yunjin’s expression was so odd.
Lu Jiao thought about it, “I will go.”
Xie Yunjin’s face dropped and he almost ordered her to stay home. However, he caught himself and softened his voice, “Are you going to operate on him? That’s not going to look good, is it?”
Lu Jiao shook her head, “I’m not going to do that. Qi Lei can operate. I do want to, however, add a little something extra to his treatment plan so he can no longer use that thing for the rest of his life. Plus, I want his health to be so poor going forward that he won’t have the energy to plot against others.”
Xie Yunjin smiled immediately, “Sounds good. I will accompany you.”
Lu Jiao didn’t decline. It was late at night and going with her husband would save others from gossiping too much.
However, similar to how she crossdressed this morning, Lu Jiao put some makeup on and wore men’s clothing. She then left with Xie Yunjin, Lin Dong, and the similarly crossed-dressed Feng Zhi.
This was all to prevent problems from coming up.
The group headed to Baohe Tang.
There was quite a crowd at Baohe Tang. Lu Jiao didn’t let Xie Yunjin get out of the carriage.
“Wait for me in the carriage. Lots of people from the Liang family are inside. We don’t want more trouble and have them link this incident to you.”
“Okay.”
Xie Yunjin knew very well how careful he should be. He couldn’t take any risks that might expose him to the Liang family. Right now, he didn’t have enough power or influence to be the Liang family’s enemy.
Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi followed Zhang Er into Baohe Tang.
There were family members inside crying, shouting, cursing, and threatening. All in all, everything was a mess.
When Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei saw Lu Jiao, they appeared uncomfortable. After all, the location of the wound made it difficult for them to discuss.
Lu Jiao was a woman. How could she work to reconnect that part of a male?
But if she didn’t help, nobody else could.
Zhao Lingfeng originally wanted to say no. But the Liang family was an unreasonable bunch. They all threatened that if Zhao Lingfeng didn’t call up all the doctors, they would make a scene.
“You’re here.”
“Master.”
Qi Lei didn’t even know where to start.
Lu Jiao glanced at Qi Lei, “You can do the surgery. I’ll help you.”
Qi Lei jumped. There was no way he knew how to do that! He was sure his hands would shake if he tried it.
But given his master’s gender, he knew it would be for the best if he did it himself. In the end, Qi Lei gritted his teeth, “Okay. I’ll do it. Master, you can teach me.”
Lu Jiao nodded, “Sure. Let’s go inside.”
The group went inside. The head of the Liang family, Liang Ziwen’s grandfather, blocked Qi Lei and Zhao Lingfeng’s path, “Owner Zhao, you have to cure my grandson. My family will not forgive you otherwise.”
Zhao Lingfeng’s face was cold as he stared at grandpa Liang.
Due to his own master’s orders, he didn’t want to cause any scenes. That didn’t mean he was afraid of others.
That little Liang family thought of themselves as royals. How dare they act so arrogant.
Zhao Lingfeng studied grandpa Liang and said bluntly, “I cannot make any promises. If you do not trust Baohe Tang, you can bring the patient back. We have the right to refuse treatment.”
Grandpa Liang furiously shouted, “You dare to refuse treatment?! I will get your clinic shut down so quickly!”
Zhao Lingfeng wasn’t angry and even laughed. He shrugged at grandpa Liang, “Sure, you can try that.”
Grandpa Liang’s wife watched the whole scene. How could his husband still be fighting the doctor at a time like this was beyond her, “Old man, what are you doing?! Let the doctors tend to our grandson. If we delay treatment further, it might be too late to save him!”
Lu Jiao preferred it to be too late for Liang Ziwen. She commented casually, “I can guarantee his life. However, we cannot promise the functionality of his bottom part.”
The entire Liang family’s expressions changed. Liang Ziwen was the family’s grandson and the only one at that. As of yet, he only had two daughters and no sons. If his part was no good, it would mean that the Liang family bloodline ends here.
Grandpa Liang’s face grew grotesque, “Not negotiable! If you do not cure my grandson, I will never let you off the hook!”
Zhao Lingfeng was now angry at his bold statements and said, “You can try to screw with us and see for yourself whether or not we are scared of you.”
