I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 919 - 918: Beaten to Death

These Shi Family members were the first to be fed the bad water, yet the last to be rescued, and their symptoms naturally manifested much earlier than others!The three Elder Zhangs looked solemn as the talismanic water couldn’t alleviate the pain of these people. Their gaze involuntarily turned to Beisitian, for it was she who neutralized the bad water in Shi Zhongli and the others.

Shi Zhongli put aside his pride and approached Beisitian, thick-skinnedly saying, "Doctor Bei, our Shi Family requests your help for treatment!"

He spoke with the authority of a Shi Family elder, which carried far more weight than Shi Jianbo, whose claim to the family headship was illegitimate. The other two elders also looked at her expectantly.

Beisitian nodded, "Alright, twenty million per bottle, cash only."

Shi Jiantong was stunned on the spot; wasn’t this just a way to make things difficult for Shi Jianye?

Shi Zhongli laughed bitterly, twenty million in cash... even as an elder, he couldn’t manage that.

"Doctor Bei, could we gather together? We need three bottles..." Shi Zhongli said.

He knew Beisitian was not easy to negotiate with, otherwise, the Qingyu School would have been bullied into the ground long ago, instead of thriving as it was now.

Shi Jiantong was stunned for a moment before realizing Beisitian was not deliberately being difficult, but was supporting Shi Guang!

Shi Guang was still not yet twenty; having been through so much, his mind was already somewhat confused. Seeing Beisitian even reject Shi Zhongli, he could only step forward to appeal to her.

He was unwilling to use these favors, as favors diminish the more they are used, and he did not want to distance his relationship with Beisitian over these matters...

If Beisitian knew his thoughts, she would smile, for the thinking of a young man was still more innocent. It was because of these traits that Beisitian chose to support Shi Guang.

Shi Guang thought up many words to say, but standing in front of Beisitian, he couldn’t utter a single sentence, opening his mouth, looking somewhat helpless.

"Sis... can you help me one more time?" Shi Guang churned over countless words, but in the end, he said only this.

Beisitian smiled at Shi Guang, reaching out to pat his shoulder, "I can help you as many times as needed, but the rules can’t be broken."

Shi Guang nodded, "As long as you give us time, we’ll pay it back even if it bankrupts us!"

Beisitian burst into laughter, "Shi Family can’t be that poor, can’t afford fifty thousand per bottle?"

"Whatever we have to buy... wait, what? Fifty thousand?" Shi Guang looked at Beisitian in surprise.

Fifty thousand was hardly selling, more like giving them away!

Beisitian nodded, "For you, fifty thousand, can be on credit, with any nonsense for collateral; for others, twenty million, cash!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, wasn’t it clear, Beisitian was supporting Shi Guang! Beisitian’s decision represented the decision of the Qingyu School!

Shi Jianbo’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, damn Qingyu School, why were they not supporting him!

Under the current circumstances, you might not acquiesce to Shi Guang, but it would be wise to find a way to neutralize the bad water within your own body. And indeed, this incident solidified Shi Guang’s position.

Shi Guang lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. He couldn’t believe Beisitian would help him so much, like venturing into a den of tigers to rescue Shi Family members and then helping him reclaim the Shi Family... Beisitian’s kindness was something he felt he could never repay.

"Eh? Are you crying?" Beisitian bent slightly, tilted her head to look at him.

Shi Guang was extremely embarrassed, turning away to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand repeatedly, but no matter how he wiped, he couldn’t clean them, so he glared, "So what if I cry, does the law forbid men from crying!"

Beisitian smiled with her eyes, "Not a bad temper; you have time to cry, how about you hurry and give the talismanic water to your uncles and elders. If you hesitate any longer, they might not endure."

Shi Guang startled, slapped his forehead hard; now was not the time to be sentimental, indeed, the business at hand was most important!

Shi Zhongli revealed a smile, he too was surprised that Qingyu would so readily help the Shi Family, including the Shi Family’s three heroes. Everyone supporting Shi Guang felt genuine delight; having such a stalwart ally in Qingyu, at least in the short term, the Shi Family wouldn’t be completely trampled underfoot. In the most dire times, someone stands to help, but increasingly, they would need to rely on themselves.

Shi Jianbo and his faction kept their eyes fixed on the busy group, casting longing glances, could they also get a bottle?

Beisitian laughed, meeting Shi Jianbo’s gaze, "Twenty million~"

Shi Jianbo’s face turned black, so he turned his gaze to Shi Guang, who coldly laughed twice at him; you want to usurp my position, and I should spend money to buy you an antidote?

Shi Jianbo’s face turned green indeed, without the antidote, he might writhe in pain! Yes, even as an inside man, Qing Yan feared his betrayal, and they also fed him bad water, precisely because of this, he was left with no choice but to obey them.

Having treated these few people, Beisitian’s talismanic water was exhausted; the others would have to wait for the next time.

Seeing everything resolved, Beisitian said speechlessly, "I say, are you playing hide-and-seek? I’m about to leave."

The Shi Family members were surprised and turned to Beisitian; who was she talking to?

"Hahaha, Doctor Bei’s time is precious, weren’t we just finishing up just now?"

This voice came from outside, and soon, quite a few people walked in from outside, each seeming intimidating, led by Cheng Shuwei, whom Shi Zhongli knew.

Shi Family members saw them and were relieved; without them restraining the mobile personnel, Wei Zhongxun would have had no chance to release them.

Shi Jianbo’s face turned pale upon seeing Hawkeye among these men; he prayed desperately that Hawkeye wasn’t there for him, yet his prayers went unheard by heaven.

Hawkeye immediately exposed Shi Jianbo’s collusion with Qing Yan, laying out the evidence in front of everyone, including how it was resolved, how they communicated, and even the recordings of calls; Hawkeye was truly resourceful.

Shi Jianbo listened and realized refutation was futile, his eyes hollow as he bowed his head.

Shi Jianbo’s faction was dumbstruck, including the Second Elder, Shi Zhongxu; none had imagined that everything they suffered was due to Shi Jianbo. If it weren’t for him, given the Shi Family’s mobile personnel, they wouldn’t have suffered such blatant humiliation and tremendous loss!

"Misfortune to the family! It’s my old eyes that failed, raising such unworthy juniors! I atone!" Shi Zhongxu shouted, swallowing something into his mouth.

A moment too late for anyone to stop him, they watched as blood spilled from Shi Zhongxu’s mouth and nose, and he fell back to the ground, having prepared this final resort for himself to not be exploited by Green Flame Fish, yet not expecting to use it here.
