Chapter 950: The Plan
"Do you really have no other way?" The man’s small eyes widened at this moment, clearly showing his urgency.
Before Lin Tian could answer, he smiled bitterly himself, "At least the new bullets can be removed, right? Whatever you need, our guards can provide it for you."
Lin Tian shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Removing all the bullets at once is dangerous. Moreover, he still has toxins in his body; removing the bullets might trigger the venom again, counteracting the benefits."
"Then what should we do?"
Lin Tian said, "I need to return and discuss with my teachers before making any decision."
"Okay, I will take you back right now."
When Lin Tian re-entered the meeting room, all eyes turned to him.
Everyone remained silent, hoping Lin Tian would say something.
Lin Tian smiled slightly, nodding at Zhao Xuefeng and Mr. Yee, then sat down opposite Miaoqiu. He raised his eyebrows, almost making Miaoqiu roll her eyes.
"Lin Tian, we couldn’t see clearly just now. How were the bullets removed? Could you tell us?"
It was Mr. Yee who asked the question, verbalizing the mystery in everyone’s minds.
Lin Tian had already anticipated this question and had prepared an answer, using the previous explanation about Qi Gong.
Though Qi Gong sounded mystical, Mr. Yee and the others had studied it before. After all, Qi Gong had existed in medicine, making it relatively easier to accept.
Liu Mang, however, wore a look of disdain. He didn’t believe in Qi Gong, thinking it was nonsense.
But with the facts before him, he couldn’t refute anything.
"Will there be any side effects?" Zhao Xuefeng asked seriously. He had long known Lin Tian could perform Qi Gong, fearing Lin Tian might have applied the method incorrectly, causing more significant troubles.
Lin Tian clasped his hands on the table, deliberating for a moment before saying, "Yes, it might cause massive bleeding, provoke the toxins, or even compress certain organs or nerves."
Opposite, Miaoqiu couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is it that severe?"
Zhao Xuefeng shook his head deeply, "These are expected. Qi Gong is much safer than surgery, but some matters can’t escape tradition."
Miaoqiu nodded. She knew it wasn’t easy, but she was anxious nonetheless.
She didn’t speak afterward, knowing that even basic medical knowledge was beyond her, which would make matters worse.
The subsequent time was spent with Lin Tian, Zhao Xuefeng, and others proposing and vetoing plans repeatedly.
After all, Jin Guard’s health was deteriorating, and they had so many factors to consider. A small issue might lead to fatal errors.
This meeting lasted a full four hours. Even Lin Tian couldn’t recall how many plans they had overturned.
By mealtime, they still hadn’t reached a definite conclusion.
That night, Lin Tian and others stayed at the hotel. Lying on the soft bed, Lin Tian’s mind was filled with plans, drifting into sleep.
The next day involved another round of intense discussions, leading them to settle on a plan.
Stabilize the toxins first, then extract the bullets, and finally promote rapid healing of the wounds.
The plan sounded unreasonable. Removing any bullet would cause reactions like bleeding or toxin provocation, let alone removing eight?
The toxin was chronic; who knows what Jin Guard had consumed or encountered over the years. Initially inconspicuous, it had accumulated into a ’mountain’ of toxin in his body, ready to become life-threatening any moment.
The phrase "illness comes like a mountain, goes like spinning silk" was inadequate to describe the toxins in Jin Guard’s body — it’s far more challenging than spinning silk.
The poison unresolved by Xv Qibin and numerous doctors posed a challenge to Lin Tian and others.
The idea to stabilize the toxin came from Lin Tian. Though uncertain, it was worth a try.
"I need a phone," Lin Tian told Miaoqiu, as his mobile was confiscated the day before, leaving him to ask her.
"No problem," Miaoqiu agreed swiftly to Lin Tian’s request.
With the phone, Lin Tian, without hesitation, made a call from his seat.
Everyone instinctively slowed their breathing, anxious to overhear the conversation echoing from the ’beep... beep...’ of the phone.
The call connected quickly.
"Oh~ Xiaotian, how come? Thinking of your sister now? I thought this bad guy had forgotten about me~"
The voice that emerged was sultry, almost deteriorating Lin Tian’s resolve with its bone-deep allure, echoing grievance yet full of charm.
Those seated near Lin Tian could catch the sound, even Zhao swallowing hard, tempted by dangerous thoughts.
Miaoqiu remained expressionless but thought to herself, men indeed are no good.
She wasn’t sure why she had such thoughts, but Lin Tian was definitely no good.
Lin Tian smirked, twitching his facial muscles at Miaoqiu’s typical charming words. Despite being off-guard, it worked effectively.
"Ahem." Lin Tian cleared his throat, "I’m in a very serious setting now, stop joking."
"Hehehe..." Miaoqiu giggled seductively, asking, "How serious? Is your official girlfriend beside you?"
Lin Tian, almost instinctively, glanced at Miaoqiu, "No, she’s not. Let’s joke later. I’m asking if your Xu Family has any ’Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir’?"
"Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir?" Miaoqiu repeated, suppressing her laughter, "Why do you need that? To harm someone?"
Miaoqiu, near Lin Tian and sharp-eared, caught the term ’harm someone,’ instantly tensing up.
Lin Tian noticed Miaoqiu’s reaction, rolling his eyes, saying into the phone, "I said Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir! For detoxification! You don’t know about it?"
The Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir is a high-grade elixir. It can detoxify thousands of toxins; even if not completely detoxified, it can slowly dissolve toxins for excretion.
The manufacturing cost of this elixir is very high, requiring complex techniques. It’s incredibly rare.
But these influential families typically keep one for emergencies, right?
