"Mr. Li, we meet again." Huo Xiuxiu smiled faintly, "I sincerely apologize, I wasn't in Jiangzhou City recently, which led to Ruo causing such great trouble, forcing you to stain your hands with blood and step into the Jianghu."
"This time, on behalf of the Ni Family, I extend our most sincere apologies to you, Mr. Li! We are willing to transfer the West City reconstruction project and the Nine-Headed Mountain cultural tourism project to you."
Li Chuan couldn't be more surprised.
He never expected that the neighbor recommended by Du Ruheng was actually Ni Yongruo's aunt!
But with this realization, he suddenly understood why he felt such a familiarity when looking at Huo Xiuxiu.
Huo Xiuxiu's sister is Ni Yongruo's mother; they are related by blood, and while their appearances aren't exactly alike, they have many similar traits.
After realizing this, Li Chuan said, "So, when you said you wanted me to treat you, your intent wasn't really about the treatment?"
Huo Xiuxiu responded candidly, "That's right. Originally, I just wanted to see what kind of person had caused our Ni Family so much trouble. Our Ruo may be spoiled and temperamental, but she's smart!"
Halfway through speaking, she thought of something, bowed again towards Li Chuan, and said, "Regarding Ruo's matter, I apologize once more, Mr. Li."
"There's no need to apologize to me." Li Chuan huffed coldly, "The person who died was Yang Jinrong. You should apologize to him."
In fact, Li Chuan was quite young, and Yang Jinrong's death always left him with a sense of regret deep in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu laughed, "Apologize to Yang Jinrong? I think there's no need. In the underworld, everyone has to pay their dues sooner or later, especially someone like Yang Jinrong, who was mired in scandal. If he didn't die at the hands of our Ni Family, he would have died at someone else's hands. Besides, in my view, Yang Jinrong's death was not your fault or mine, Mr. Li."
"He was the one who broke the Jianghu rules. He originally didn't have to die. You understand this, don't you, Mr. Li?"
Yang Xin'Er said, "Mr. Li, Miss Huo is right. My father was essentially his own destroyer this time."
"Since he's already dead and gone, there's no need to mention it again. Let him go with the wind, isn't that better?" Huo Xiuxiu laughed, "The world is so bitter, entering the cycle of reincarnation early might not be a bad thing."
"I know Mr. Li might not like the Ni Family or like me probing you, but even if you know I'm from the Ni Family, would you watch someone die and do nothing? To my knowledge, someone like you, Mr. Li, who is noble and open-minded, wouldn't turn away anyone seeking medical help."
Li Chuan was taken aback, he didn't expect to be caught by Huo Xiuxiu like this. Indeed, after practicing the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, he felt a strong sense of responsibility, especially toward beautiful women!
Seeing a goddess like Huo Xiuxiu suffer in silence was indeed impossible for him.
Thinking of this, Li Chuan asked, "Your nightmares, they still haven't gone away?"
Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, "Your talisman is quite miraculous, but that old man's black witchcraft is also very strong; I haven't eradicated him."
"I see, prepare a piece of Dragon Saliva Fragrance, I'll personally intervene this time." Li Chuan said solemnly.
Huo Xiuxiu's illness piqued his interest; it seems that the Indian practitioners truly had some skill, providing him a rare opponent, just perfect for honing his skills further.
Speaking of which, from a Buddhist perspective, he and Huo Xiuxiu indeed have some destiny.
At this moment, the people from the TV station arrived.
It was none other than Li Chuan's old flame, Zhao Qingyao.
Zhao Qingyao was here last time too but didn't find Li Chuan.
Upon seeing Zhao Qingyao, Li Chuan walked over and smiled, "Our Sister Qingyao truly is the star of the TV station; whenever you appear, it's always a grand scene."
Upon seeing Li Chuan, Zhao Qingyao immediately pulled him aside and whispered, "Li Chuan, what's going on with you? Why are you here? Let me tell you, not a single good person is here; don't be fooled by their appearances, they're all involved in the underworld!"
Li Chuan was immediately embarrassed, wasn't she talking about him?
Right now, he's the boss of this crowd!
He chuckled, "Sister Qingyao, wasn't I learning boxing at the martial arts gym over there? I saw things were lively here and came over. I knew you'd definitely come, waiting just for you!"
Zhao Qingyao, hearing this, couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I heard from Huanxiang that you moved into a big villa. When can I come and visit, drain you dry!"
Zhao Qingyao had been very busy these days and hadn't been "nourished" by Li Chuan for quite some time. Seeing Li Chuan now, that little flame in her heart began to ignite once more.
"Sure, I'll be waiting, all fresh and clean." Li Chuan, being so familiar with Zhao Qingyao, teased back.
Zhao Qingyao blushed and said, "Alright, alright, enough of this, I'm too busy to chit-chat with you!"
With that, she carried her microphone, turned, and called the cameraman not far away to come over. If she talked with Li Chuan any longer, she feared she wouldn't be able to leave.
For Zhao Qingyao, the sibling-like romance with Li Chuan was incredibly thrilling; every time, Li Chuan could fully satisfy her, with his impressive stamina keeping her craving for more.
The duration of this press conference wasn't long; Yang Xin'Er and Huo Xiuxiu took the stage to resign the transfer agreements for the West City reconstruction and the Nine-Headed Mountain projects. At the moment when the two beauties signed, the Ni Family was utterly defeated in this power struggle.
Once the contracts were signed, the Seven Bowls Tea House erupted into waves of applause, while the Ni Family members looked utterly dejected.
After the press conference, Zhao Qingyao led the TV station crew away first.
Just as Huo Xiuxiu, Ni Yongruo, and Pei Dong were about to get in the car and leave, Li Chuan called out to them, "Miss Huo, wait a moment."
"Mr. Li, what guidance do you have?"
Huo Xiuxiu thought Li Chuan stopped her to discuss her illness.
However, Li Chuan just smiled and said, "Bring out that twenty billion check for me."
Huo Xiuxiu squinted her eyes, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"
Yang Xin'Er laughed.
Han Chen laughed.
Song Lu laughed as well.
Ni Yongruo's pretty face turned cold, "What, planning to rob us? You guys are bandits!"
"We're all law-abiding citizens, how could we rob?" Li Chuan casually took the manila envelope handed over by Yang Xin'Er and then handed it to Huo Xiuxiu, "Open it and see."
Seeing Li Chuan's mysterious demeanor, Huo Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel curious. She opened the envelope, and after seeing what was inside, her face immediately changed.
"I've never admired someone so much, Mr. Li, you're the first."
"Impressive!"
"Your methods are truly admirable!"
