Chapter 953: Shameless and Brazen
The illness of Jin Guard affects many people, so the medical team accompanying him is extremely powerful.
The testing of the elixir was also very efficient.
In about half an hour, the results were out.
As Lin Tian expected, apart from a pile of data, there was nothing else.
As long as there was no poison and no excessive heavy metal elements, Jin Guard could take it.
According to Lin Tian’s instructions, the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir only needed to be placed in Jin Guard’s mouth, to hold without swallowing.
In addition, Hua Dongxu also told Lin Tian about the toxins in Jin Guard’s body.
In simple terms, it’s a chronic poison that accumulates over time. However, the toxicity is fierce and spreads throughout the body, threatening life once it flares up.
So Lin Tian suggested that Jin Guard hold the elixir for three days, after which the toxicity would reduce significantly with metabolism.
Of course, a check-up would still be required by then, as no one could guarantee how effective the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir truly was.
With three days until the next treatment, everyone naturally returned home.
In fact, Nan Qiu wanted to keep everyone there until Jin Guard’s condition stabilized. But that was too unrealistic.
These were famous doctors, and their sudden disappearance in large numbers would draw attention from those with ill intentions, which was not what Nan Qiu wanted to see.
...
Xintian Bar, the largest bar in the center of Xintian Square.
Inside, the space is as large as a football field, with four styles of decor: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Business is exceedingly booming. Some say this bar makes over a million in pure profit in a single night.
The bar is owned by Bai Shishi, and Lin Tian has shares too, though he himself doesn’t know it. It’s a joke; this absentee boss doesn’t even know how much money he has in his account, how could he care about this bar?
Behind the bar counter stood a stylishly conservative, pretty-faced woman, the very Li Li who had abandoned Lin Tian.
If Lin Tian stood in front of her, he might not recognize her; after all, her changes were significant.
How had she changed?
Her sense of fashion improved, no longer as flashy as before. Her style changed too, like a fashionista.
She was an intern bartender here and also a bar counter server.
When Wu Yong first brought Li Li here, she thought she was brought over to be a ’princess.’
At that time, her heart was utterly desolate, thinking she’d escaped the tiger’s den only to enter a wolf’s den, not expecting Lin Tian to exact revenge in such a lowly way.
Though gold-digging, she still had some self-respect. Before her body could fall into disgrace, she even had thoughts of death.
But later, it turned out she was there as a bartender, selling drinks at night and occasionally practicing mixing.
Don’t underestimate a bar counter server; she could chat with all sorts of people. Those who come to spend here are generally well-off.
Having once been through a jerk, she no longer thought of following the gold-digging path, so she wouldn’t sleep with others, but she could still receive some tips and also earn commission from selling drinks.
With these, she could pay off the debt within a few years.
A man sat at the bar counter and snapped his fingers at Li Li, saying, "Waiter, recommend two glasses of red wine."
It’s rare for a customer not to order directly but ask for recommendations.
Li Li grabbed two wine glasses and chose a mid-priced wine, pouring it and placing it on the bar.
At this point, the man said with a grin, "The other glass is for you. Will you drink with me for a while?"
Such requests were common for Li Li, given her pretty looks.
She glanced at the man, and upon seeing his face, she froze. Wasn’t this... Liu Chan, that bastard?
He dared to appear here?
"Hi." Liu Chan grinned, waving to greet Li Li, "Now, you’re..."
Before he could finish, Li Li picked up the glass of red wine on the table and splashed it directly on Liu Chan’s face.
Li Li wished she had splashed acid instead.
If it were before, with Liu Chan’s nature, he would have started retaliating already; he wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
But Li Li was not afraid, considering where they were; not just anyone could act unruly here.
Surprisingly, Liu Chan didn’t get angry; he instead smiled and pulled a few napkins from the counter, wiping the wine off his face.
When he opened his mouth to say something, Li Li grabbed his glass of red wine and splashed it on his face again.
This time, Liu Chan still didn’t get angry; he wiped the wine off his face once more.
"Can you let me finish my sentence?" Liu Chan asked.
"Okay." Li Li nodded gravely, and splashing this bastard twice had somewhat vented her anger.
Liu Chan smiled, saying, "I know you’ve had a rough time lately, and that’s all my fault. I apologize to you."
"No need. I can’t accept your apology." Li Li coldly refused, having understood the true nature of this scum too well after a few months; enduring this humiliation and still being so humble, he must have some favor to ask.
Keeping her guard up, Li Li quietly took out her phone and started recording.
"I’m not apologizing just in words; I’ve come with sincerity this time."
While speaking, Liu Chan pulled out a wallet, took out a bank card, placed it in front of Li Li, and smiled, "There are 100,000 in here, and the password is your birthday. You take it first as my compensation to you."
Li Li was not polite; she took it and pocketed it directly. Coldly she said, "You can leave now. Also, settle the bill for the two glasses of red wine just now."
Liu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Why have you become so cold-hearted now? Alright, I’ve apologized, so let’s talk about business."
Li Li poured herself a glass of wine, noncommittal.
"Having gotten used to the carefree days with me before, don’t you feel stifled as a waitress now? Isn’t this feeling of being humiliated by Lin Tian unbearable?" Liu Chan asked with a smile.
Li Li glanced at Liu Chan, scoffed, and said, "What have you given me? Cars, bags, and clothes? Quite a lot, but you later pinned the debt on me, not much better off."
After a pause, Li Li also smiled, "Besides, being a waitress here is better than being a dog to those Longmen Continent people."
Liu Chan’s smile didn’t fade; it grew even brighter, "What’s wrong with being a dog to the Longmen Continent people? They are willing to pay, pay a lot. Maybe I can introduce you to be a dog too?"
"Pah!" Li Li spat, "You really have no shame now!"
