As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Long's expression changed several times. As the richest man in Qingyun City, his assets were not small, and Li Se asked for half of his assets with a single word, which was difficult for him to accept.
"Aren't you too greedy?" Madam Shen was furious. "Do you know how much half of our assets are worth? At least tens of billions. If we give it to you, can you handle it?"
"Money is an external object, Mr. Shen, don't you think I'm right?" Li Se said carelessly.
Shen Long sighed heavily and said, "Half of my assets, I can't just take it out and give it to you. If I do, the company will face a crisis. I have to consider not only myself but also tens of thousands of employees!"
Li Se did not make things difficult for Shen Long. He just wanted to teach the other party a lesson. He said, "That's very simple. Each year, you can take half of your profits and use them for charity. If you agree, I will go to the hospital with you immediately."
Half of the profits was much better than half of the assets.
Shen Long's heart was struggling. He was very reluctant to donate half of his profits to charity each year, but it seemed there was no other way now. At the same time, he had a slight change of heart towards Li Se.
He originally thought that Li Se was making things difficult for him just for money, but now he was asking him to use money for charity. In this way, Li Se would not get a single penny.
After all, if Li Se had asked him for one hundred million, he would have been willing.
But Li Se did not!
After a moment of thought, Shen Long made a decision and said, "Alright!"
Li Se said to his mother, "Mom, I'm going to the hospital, and I'll be back soon."
"Mm." Chen Xiulian looked at her son incredulously. She found that her son seemed to have changed a lot, and his whole person had undergone earth-shattering changes. Fortunately, it was developing in a good direction.
On the way to the hospital, Charles was already holding a press conference at the hospital entrance. He was very reluctant and very unwilling, but there was no other way. Shen Long had given him many benefits, and if he refused, there would be many troubles later.
"I am Charles, the Vice President of the American Medical Association." Charles simply introduced himself. "Earlier, I said in the hospital that Traditional Chinese Medicine is harmful. Now, on behalf of myself, I apologize to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was my ignorance, my ignorance. Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and vast, how could I comment on it..."
All the reporters were shocked by Charles's words. The Vice President of the prestigious American Medical Association publicly apologized to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which was enough to become a headline.
Some people knew some inside information, and Charles's public apology was due to Li Se's request.
Wei Family Courtyard.
Wei Xueru excitedly ran to her grandfather and handed him her phone, saying, "Grandpa, Charles actually apologized publicly. It seems Shen Long has backed down."
Wei San chuckled, "It's normal to back down, after all, we made a move. But this Li Se is quite bold to dare to oppose Shen Long."
"Let's go to the hospital and see the excitement."
After saying this, he got up.
"Grandpa, your health is not good, you shouldn't go out," Wei Xueru said worriedly.
"It's fine now." Wei San laughed heartily. "This Shen Long is not a simple person. If I go, it's also to give Shen Long a warning. After he is cured, it's best not to have any other thoughts."
Wei Xueru immediately understood her grandfather's intentions. No matter what, Shen Long was the richest man in Qingyun City. Although he was wary of the Wei family, he was not afraid. Who could have known that after Li Se cured him, Shen Long would turn his back on them?
At the same time, on the other side.
Xia Shuyu saw the news and was shocked. She quickly ran to Xia Bingyun and said excitedly, "Aunt, look quickly, Charles has apologized publicly."
Xia Bingyun frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, Charles seemed to look down on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Why would he apologize so suddenly?"
Xia Shuyu explained the feud between Li Se and Shen Long in detail.
Xia Bingyun was somewhat surprised, but more so puzzled. "It doesn't make sense. With Shen Long's strength, he wouldn't need to do this. He had plenty of ways to make Li Se treat him. This is a bit incomprehensible."
"Aunt, you don't know, Li Se wasn't afraid of Shen Long at all," Xia Shuyu said with some admiration.
Seeing her niece's expression, Xia Bingyun sighed, "Xueru, do you have a crush on him?"
"Aunt, don't talk nonsense. How could I?" Xia Shuyu said, blushing, and quickly defended herself.
However, Xia Bingyun was older and how could she not see the young girl's thoughts? Undeniably, this Li Se did have some charm. She then thought of the scene where Li Se treated her, and a blush also appeared on her beautiful face.
In the hospital.
Li Se and Shen Long got out of the car and happened to see Charles's public apology.
Li Se did not care whether Charles was sincere or not, as long as he apologized. Moreover, this was also a subtle way to teach Charles a lesson.
At this time, Director Tang and others were already waiting at the hospital entrance.
When Director Tang saw Li Se, his expression was somewhat complicated. Although he was the director, the person involved this time was too influential, and it was not something he could control.
Even though he knew the hospital was shifting the blame to Li Se, Director Tang was helpless. One was the Vice President of the American Medical Association, and the other was the richest man in Qingyun City, Shen Long. To put it bluntly, he, the director, was nothing in their eyes. Shen Long's words alone could cost him his position as director.
Although Shen Long only possessed wealth, when money reached a certain level, it could indeed influence many things.
Li Se entered the ward again, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. To be honest, he was also taking a gamble, gambling on Shen Long backing down.
Of course, if Shen Long still refused to back down in the end, he would still treat the infant. As a benevolent doctor, he could not stand by and do nothing.
The hospital had already focused the surveillance cameras on Li Se. This was specifically instructed by Director Tang, whose goal was to let everyone witness the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"Not a second can be missed!" Director Tang instructed.
"Yes!" the security guard in the monitoring room replied.
At this time, Li Se had already pulled out the six silver needles. Before the infant could cry, he tapped the infant's chin. Then, a set of silver needles appeared. This set of silver needles consisted of eight long silver needles and fifteen short silver needles, and he had only taken out nine of them.
The child was poisoned, and the poison had already deeply penetrated the internal organs. This was also the reason why the hospital had no way to help. Moreover, this toxin was hidden very deeply. If a thorough examination was not conducted, nothing could be detected. On the surface, only jaundice could be detected.
The nine silver needles were inserted rapidly, without the slightest hesitation, and they were all accurately placed into the acupoints.
The surrounding doctors were all amazed, and even people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall came to watch. They all knew a little about acupuncture, but being able to insert needles so quickly and accurately into acupoints, to be honest, they could not do it.
"A true master of Traditional Chinese Medicine!" many TCM practitioners exclaimed.
At this moment, an old TCM practitioner exclaimed in shock, "This... is the Heavenly Doctor's Nine Needles?"
