Chapter 643: Chapter 643: The Wound Hurts Even More Chapter 643: Chapter 643: The Wound Hurts Even More After hanging up the phone, Xia Xin held onto his mobile, still sowhat unable to snap out of it, “Ancestor, what’s going on, why suddenly demand 1.6 million?”
“Zhu Ming got into trouble, his life is in danger, he asked for my help.” Jiangli pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from the storage box on the table, “Since we’re from the sa sect, could I possibly give him a discount?”
Xia Xin: “…”
Ruthless, the ancestor is really ruthless.
This is totally fleecing an acquaintance!
Others might give a discount to fellow sect mbers, but when it cos to the ancestor, the price doubles.
However…
Thinking of the fact that it was Zhu Ming…
Xia Xin felt that Zhu Ming deserved it.
It was Zhu Ming’s own fault for not heeding advice.
With this thought, Xia Xin was quite accepting of the situation, though he still felt that the price was a bit inflated.
But, he didn’t have the guts to say it.
Watching Jiangli crack sunflower seeds, Xia Xin coughed lightly and obediently went to clean up.
After finishing the papier-mâché figures and clothes, Jiangli washed his hands of the matter.
The rest of the cleaning up was left to Xia Xin.
Cleaning wasn’t a simple matter.
Xia Xin worked himself to exhaustion.
Fu’er’s eyes were rolling around as he was solely focused on admiring his new body.
He did not think of offering help.
At the sa ti.
Xun Tianhai hung up with Jiangli and imdiately called Zhu Ming.
Before calling Jiangli, he had already contacted the local Xuann branch and the Unusual Affairs Managent Office branch in City B.
They should have already arrived there by now.
Xun Tianhai was not sure about Zhu Ming’s exact condition.
When Xun Tianhai called, he was a bit worried.
Fortunately, after a short wait, Zhu Ming answered the call.
“Xun Tian… Director Xun, did you get in touch with the abbot of Jiaoyang Temple?” Zhu Ming answered the phone, sounding sowhat weak.
He had ant to directly call Xun Tianhai by his na, but considering he needed help at this ti, he thought it inappropriate to address him so informally, hence he changed his way of addressing.
However, Xun Tianhai had no ti to quibble over such formalities right now.
Listening to his weak voice, Xun Tianhai asked, “How’s your condition now? Has the Unusual Affairs Managent Office branch arrived?”
“They’ve arrived…” Zhu Ming took a deep breath, which seed to pull at his wound and caused him pain, making his voice a bit hoarse, “They’ve treated my wound, but… it only slowed down the worsening of the injury. They don’t know what’s going on and can’t deal with it. They have already gone to the Wei Family to investigate the situation.”
Upon hearing this, Xun Tianhai frowned deeply, “They can’t do anything?”
Zhu Ming humd affirmation, then took another breath, “Did you get in touch with Jiaoyang Temple?”
Xun Tianhai touched his nose, seeming a bit evasive, “I got in touch… The abbot is willing to co to help, it’s just that…”
As soon as Zhu Ming heard Jiangli was willing to help, he let out a sigh of relief and imdiately asked, “Just what?”
Xun Tianhai coughed, probably pausing for a few seconds, before answering, “The abbot says, her fee for making a trip is 1.6 million, and she’s asking if you’re willing to accept it. If you are, she’ll co over; if you’re not, then let’s forget about it…”
“1.6 million?”
Zhu Ming couldn’t help but try to sit up.
But as soon as he moved slightly, he pulled at his wound, causing him such pain that he grimaced and broke out in a cold sweat.
Clutching the wound on his abdon, he drew several sharp breaths and exhaled a few heavy ones, easing the discomfort sowhat after a mont. Then, he managed to endure the pain to speak, “Why, why is it so expensive? Didn’t you tell it would only be 800,000?”
Xun Tianhai couldn’t say that it was probably because Jiangli didn’t like him and intentionally jacked up the price, so he vaguely replied, “The abbot has raised her fees, it’s not the sa as before.”
Zhu Ming: “…”
But even so.
It shouldn’t have doubled straight away!
Zhu Ming felt the pain in his wound intensify.
