Chapter 540: Shot
I took the tissue from Daisy and wiped my tears. “Okay, I agree.”
I had no other choice but to trust this man. I had to do sothing. I would see it as a gamble.
Mr. Li was very satisfied. He said to Lin Ran, “Go back and tell that kid that I’m staying. So he has to do what he promised . Otherwise, I’ll have plenty of ways to deal with him and make him suffer!”
Lin Ran said disapprovingly, “Don’t worry. You want to get funding for twenty children to get an education, right? Jing Tian has already arranged that the mont you landed on the island.”
Mr. Li was stunned.
Lin Ran puffed up her cheeks. “Mr. Li, you don’t need to act like this to scare the girl. You’re playing with fire. This girl… You’ll see for yourself in the future. I won’t spoil it for you!”
Mr. Li was confused. He turned away from Lin Ran. He straightened his face and said, “Well, the old monster who knows Chinese dicine has to stay for three more days. The detoxification process could be life-threatening. It’ll be better if he’s around.”
Lin Ran imdiately said, “Are you not confident?”
Mr. Li was furious. “What are you talking about? What do you an by that? I just want to lessen this girl’s suffering. When he hears the girl screaming from pain, won’t it break that kid’s heart? What if he suddenly cos over to point his gun at our heads?”
Lin Ran smiled smugly, “Mr. Li, I knew you’re just a paper tiger. To think you’d threaten Jing Tian earlier, that almost scared . You had that unfathomable ancient creature aura, but you’re just acting!”
Mr. Li simply turned his head away and ignored him, looking extrely angry.
Things changed so suddenly that I found it hard to accept.
Vincent was calm and collected. He went forward and asked, “Mr. Li, do we need to prepare anything?”
Mr. Li answered, “Yes, I’ll make a list for you.”
“Then, Mr. Li, please co this way,” Vincent said very respectfully.
“Uncle Vincent, help arrange a place for Mr. Li to stay,” I instructed.
“Of course, Miss.” Vincent led Mr. Li downstairs.
I looked at Lin Ran. “Doctor Lin, why didn’t Jing Tian co himself?”
The mocking expression on Lin Ran’s face imdiately disappeared.
“He… erm is a little busy! Yes, that’s right. He’s busy.” Lin Ran clearly just thought that up on the spot.
I looked at him.
Lin Ran sighed. “Nanxing, what sins do you think I’ve committed in my previous life that I get to know the two of you troublemakers? You’ve given nothing but things to worry about.”
I was confused.
Lin Ran sighed again. “Nanxing, Jing Tian is seriously injured, so he can’t co. It’s already a miracle that he’s alive.”
My heart tightened for so reason.
“How did he get injured?” I was very concerned about him, so these words ca out of my mouth.
Lin Ran looked at . “Because of you, Nanxing!”
I was speechless.
“He went searching for Master Xu without sleep and rest. The fatigue caused his old illness to relapse. Before he could recover, he flew off to find Mr. Li. Mr. Li was imprisoned, so Jing Tian had to rescue him first. Jing Tian was shot in the abdon. If the bullet had strayed slightly, he would have died. Sohow, he managed to survive. He arranged a lot of trivial things before he was willing to pass out.”
My heart pained, and my breathing caught for no reason..
