NOVEL WEB Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Zhao Heng's Scheme!
The black dog was startled and turned his head, only to see a middle-aged man walking out from behind Li De'an.
Upon seeing the man, the black dog was taken aback and his expression changed drastically.
"Zhao... Mr. Zhao!!!"
"How are you here?"
As Xue Sanqiang's trusted henchman, the black dog had to have an extensive knowledge of the big shots in Yancheng, or else he wouldn't even know how he ended up dead if he crossed the wrong person one day.
In the whole of Yancheng, the number of people or powers he dared not offend could be counted on one hand.
The Zhao Family was one such power that absolutely could not be offended.
Therefore, upon seeing Zhao Heng, where would the black dog dare to be arrogant? He immediately tucked tail.
"Do I need to inform you of my whereabouts?"
Zhao Heng's voice was ice cold.
"No no no, Mr. Zhao, I didn't mean that, I..."
"Less nonsense, Divine Doctor Li is an honored guest of my Zhao Family. If you dare cause trouble here again in the future, don't blame me for not being polite."
"Scram!"
The black dog trembled out of fear and hastily bowed as he said,
"Yes yes yes, I'm leaving right away."
The black dog, with his men, scurried awkwardly back to his car and left in a sorry state.
Zhao Heng watched the black dog leave, a smile flickering in his eyes.
The black dog's timing was perfect; the commotion provided an excellent opportunity to smooth over the earlier unpleasantness with Li De'an.
Zhao Heng turned back with a smile,
"Divine Doctor Li, rest assured, the Zhao Family will ensure your safety here. If they dare come to trouble you again, just call me and I'll make them all disappear."
Li De'an still felt aggrieved, but Zhao Heng's recent actions clearly showed his apology, and Li De'an was not someone who would not forgive when he had the upper hand.
Li De'an sighed.
"Mr. Zhao, I am truly powerless with regard to your honored wife's illness, only Zhou Yu can help, but he left just now, quite angry..."
Zhao Heng asked anxiously,
"Divine Doctor Li, where is Divine Doctor Zhou? I will go and apologize to him right away."
"He..."
Li De'an could hardly say that Zhou Yu had gone shopping for clothes; he just couldn't utter that.
"Your honored wife's condition is stable for now. How about this, you go and accompany her first. I will contact Zhou Yu for you."
"Yes, yes, thank you Divine Doctor Li. Please be sure to explain to Divine Doctor Zhou for me. If needed, I can go and apologize to him personally."
Li De'an nodded in agreement, while internally calculating how to help Zhou Yu resolve the conflict with Zhao Heng.
At that moment, Li De'an suddenly remembered those people from earlier.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, Miss Lin Luoluo and Zhou Yu have an extraordinary relationship. It seemed that those people just now were looking to trouble Miss Lin. If you could help Zhou Yu resolve this issue, he would undoubtedly go all out to treat your honored wife. This would be a win-win situation."
Zhao Heng's mind stirred upon hearing this.
As someone who had long held a high position, he was most adept at strategies. His thoughts were completely opposite to those of Li De'an.
If that was the case, then he couldn't intervene right now.
If he helped Zhou Yu with his problems now and then asked Zhou Yu to treat the illness, basically, he would still be the one asking Zhou Yu a favor, owing Zhou Yu instead.
If he let the black dog and his men go after Zhou Yu and intervened at the critical moment, then he would be providing timely help, and it would be Zhou Yu owing him the favor.
A genius divine doctor like Zhou Yu should be under his control, making future use much more convenient.
With this thought, Zhao Heng smiled and said,
"Divine Doctor Li, I understand. I will intervene in this matter."
Li De'an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then on behalf of Zhou Yu, I thank Mr. Zhao."
"No problem."
Zhao Heng turned and walked back inside.
After pondering, Li De'an decided to give Zhou Yu a heads-up anyway. He took out his phone and called his granddaughter, Li Shuangshuang.
...
Yancheng Global Commerce.
This was one of the most top-tier malls in Yancheng.
Li Shuangshuang took Zhou Yu here to buy clothes.
Li Shuangshuang wasn't lying; she was very familiar with this. With Li Shuangshuang acting as a consultant, it took Zhou Yu less than an hour to pick out five sets of clothes.
All five sets of clothes were international brands, none of them costing less than one hundred thousand.
The clothes cost several hundred thousand in total.
When it came time to pay, however, Li Shuangshuang tried to pay first.
Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped her.
"Miss Li, I have a card, I can pay for it myself."
But Li Shuangshuang wouldn't agree.
"You helped my grandfather so much, what's wrong with buying you a couple of clothes as thanks? You must accept it, oh."
Zhou Yu couldn't win the argument, so he let it be.
After purchasing the clothes, they were ready to leave when suddenly Li Shuangshuang's mobile phone rang.
Li Shuangshuang answered the phone.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"You're with Zhou, aren't you?"
"Yes. We've just finished shopping and are about to head back."
"Give him the phone; grandpa has something to tell him."
Li Shuangshuang uttered an 'oh', then handed the mobile phone to Zhou Yu.
"My grandfather wants to talk to you about something."
Zhou Yu took the mobile phone, and after a moment, the color of his face gradually darkened.
"Thank you, Old Li, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu asked Li Shuangshuang to drop him off at the Lin Group's entrance.
Li Shuangshuang could tell that Zhou Yu had something on his mind, but she didn't pry; she merely drove Zhou Yu there.
When they arrived, it was just five-thirty in the afternoon, not yet the end of the workday, and Zhou Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Miss Li, thank you for today."
Li Shuangshuang blinked her large eyes playfully and smiled, saying:
"Didn't I say it? Just call me Shuangshuang. By the way, what's your number? Could you tell me, if it's convenient?"
"Of course, it's convenient."
After exchanging contact information, Li Shuangshuang drove away, while Zhou Yu sat on a bench at the entrance of the Lin Group, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.
During the phone call, Li De'an had informed him about a man named Hei Gou looking for Lin Luoluo, and according to Li De'an's description, this Hei Gou was likely the same man from the business Mercedes.
Counting that episode, this was the second time in two days that Hei Gou was causing trouble for Lin Luoluo.
It was clear that Hei Gou seemed to be in a hurry to make a move on Lin Luoluo.
Therefore, Zhou Yu made it a priority to get to the Lin Group as soon as possible.
He guessed that Hei Gou would make another move.
Around six o'clock, Lin Luoluo's car drove out of the group's entrance, and Zhou Yu quickly reached out to stop it.
Lin Luoluo stopped the car and said coldly.
"Get in."
Zhou Yu, holding his clothes, was about to sit in the passenger seat, but Lin Luoluo snapped at him coldly.
"Sit in the back."
Zhou Yu shrugged and took a seat in the back.
Lin Luoluo started the car and headed home.
On the road, Zhou Yu kept looking around attentively, watching the surroundings.
But to Lin Luoluo, this behavior seemed completely like someone who had never seen the world before, and it only intensified her rejection of Zhou Yu.
At that moment, Lin Luoluo noticed the bags of clothes next to Zhou Yu.
She naturally recognized those international brands.
"Spending other people's money, you're really not shy, are you?"
Lin Luoluo's abrupt comment caught Zhou Yu off guard.
"Are you talking about these clothes?"
"These clothes didn't cost you any money, they were..."
Zhou Yu's words were cut off as his expression suddenly changed.
"Be careful."
