Luo Chen knew Master Li?
This was somewhat unexpected, and moreover, the situation somehow made it look like Master Li was very afraid of Luo Chen?
Instantly, everyone in the room turned their gazes toward these two.
“Master he—”
“You shut the hell up, can’t you see what’s going on?” Master Li roared at his own disciple.
Then he turned his head, an apologetic expression on his face as he spoke.
“Sorry, Mr. Luo. I didn’t know you were here as well.”
Everyone in the room watched this dramatic reversal. Even Master Li’s disciple, Little Wu, was dumbfounded.
“It’s fine. I originally came to treat an illness, but your disciple insisted the man was possessed by evil spirits and even wanted to deal with me.” Luo Chen folded his arms and spoke.
“Mr. Luo, it was my failure in discipline. Please forgive me.” Master Li also had a good measure of himself.
Or rather, he was very clever.
The last time, at Xia Yuanwu’s place in Haidong, he had managed to escape. He himself had felt somewhat fortunate, because he was very clear that if Luo Chen had wanted to catch him, he probably would definitely not have been able to get away.
Since then, he had not dared to stay in Haidong. After all, if he were to run into Luo Chen by chance, he might not necessarily have such good luck again.
Who knew that after returning to Xiangxi, he would still run into Luo Chen?
This luck was truly something else.
Everyone watching that Master Li, who had been spoken of as almost divine, show such fear and respect toward Luo Chen knew things had turned bad.
Especially Mayor Li — this situation looked completely wrong no matter how you looked at it.
Could it be that today he had truly failed to recognise Mount Tai and offended someone?
“Master Li, what is this?” Mayor Li hurriedly asked. After all, this matter concerned his own life and death.
“With Mr. Luo here, don’t call me Master anymore.” Master Li did not dare to put on airs before Luo Chen.
“In terms of medical accomplishment, I am merely a trivial skill. Mr. Luo is the true master.”
“Then my illness?”
“Your illness is indeed not some demonic possession. Although I dare not be certain, it should be corpse poisoning. That cannot be wrong.”
With Luo Chen present, Master Li did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The moment these words were spoken, the old Chinese medicine doctor’s face instantly turned red.
It really was corpse poisoning?
And that Little Wu was indeed a swindler talking nonsense.
“Then Master Li, what about me?” Mayor Li asked again.
“I am powerless, I am afraid. This is something I truly cannot resolve, because this poison of yours has clearly already entered your internal organs. If Mayor Li truly wishes to detoxify, I am afraid you will have to trouble Mr. Luo to take action.” After saying this, Master Li looked toward Luo Chen.
“Mr. Luo, do you think I can leave now?”
“Go.” Luo Chen did not make things difficult for Master Li.
The moment these words were spoken, Master Li practically ran away on the spot, not even caring about his own disciple.
Joking aside, his heart had just been in his throat.
If Luo Chen had truly made a move against him, he would really have feared giving his life here today.
But with Master Li’s departure.
The scene became somewhat awkward.
Mayor Li suddenly regretted it at this moment. He had just been neglecting and slighting this true master the entire time.
And he had nearly come into conflict with the man just now.
But Master Li’s parting words had been spoken crystal clear.
To escape and detoxify, he truly needed Luo Chen to take action!
“Mr. Luo, just now was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.” Mayor Li immediately put on a different face and spoke.
“Misunderstanding?” Luo Chen sneered coldly.
“You believe me now?”
“Too late.” Luo Chen pulled Jiang Tongran and walked out.
“Mr. Luo, please stay, please stay, my illness—”
“Wealth and honour are decreed by fate, life and death are in Heaven’s hands. None of my damn business!” Luo Chen sneered coldly and left without looking back.
“CEO Shen, don’t you know him?”
“Could you help me think of a way? I’ll help you think of a way about that piece of land you mentioned?” At this moment, Mayor Li began begging Shen Yuelan again.
“We know each other, but we probably aren’t familiar to that extent… and Mayor Li, with your attitude just now, put yourself in his shoes — if you were him, would you still be willing to take action?” Shen Yuelan was speaking the truth.
And this reversal from before to after was something even she had not anticipated.
“Nephew Wan, what about my matter?” Mayor Li looked toward Wan Hongwei again.
After all, everyone fears death, right?
“Uncle, alas, to be honest, with his status, if I hadn’t gone to beg him, you really couldn’t have invited him.”
“And now you’ve offended him like this.” Wan Hongwei sighed and left as well.
Still your face?
Bollocks!
If I hadn’t known him and used thirty million, begging him, would he have come?
And when he came, this is how you treated him?
Just now, even Wan Hongwei himself had felt somewhat furious.
Let alone Luo Chen?
And with Wan Hongwei’s words spoken, Mayor Li truly became anxious now.
Wouldn’t it have been much better if he had just spoken to the man politely and respectfully?
Now look at this. All because he judged a person by their appearance.
He had completely offended the man to death.
But he couldn’t give up on this matter!
He had searched far and wide and no one could cure him. Luo Chen was his only hope.
He would still have to go apologise and invite the man back later.
“I say, Little Chen, how do you seem to know everyone?”
“And they always seem to be some big shots with faces and status?” Jiang Tongran pulled Luo Chen and spoke.
“Ahem, Sister Ranran, the world is just this small, this wonderful. What can I do about it?” Luo Chen smiled, which was equivalent to not explaining at all.
“Oh, you dare keep secrets from your Sister Ranran?”
“That matter with you and that young lady from the Jiang family last time is still unclear?”
“I don’t believe you didn’t do anything to her that night?” Jiang Tongran was standing with hands on hips, ready to deal with Luo Chen.
But Shen Yuelan, who had caught up from behind, coughed dryly.
“Stop messing around. Your cousin Yifei will be arriving shortly.” Shen Yuelan spoke.
She had to find a way to make Jiang Tongran give up. The more she looked at Luo Chen, the more he did not seem like the kind of man Jiang Tongran could entrust her life to.
Shen Yuelan firmly believed this.
She could not let her eldest niece be ruined by someone.
“Little Chen, let’s go shopping.” Jiang Tongran walked while running toward the front, where a water music performance was currently happening.
“Boy, I warn you, stay away from my eldest niece in the future. Don’t ruin my eldest niece.”
“And I’ll tell you a secret — my eldest niece is a pitiful child. She is actually an orphan.” Shen Yuelan sighed.
Jiang Tongran was not born to the Jiang family. She had been adopted from an orphanage.
Luo Chen did not respond. The three of them drove to the city centre. It was already past eight o’clock.
The pedestrian street in the city centre was quite lively, but that ancient ancestral hall nearby looked exceptionally jarring. “Little Chen, since you know so many people, Sister will give you a chance to show off. Can you secure that plot of land?” Jiang Tongran pointed at the rather jarring ancestral hall about a kilometre away.
