Chapter 51: Chapter 51, Furious as Thunder Although his heart was moved, Zhao Sihai did not reply to him. Instead, he said, "Go back and wait for news first." "Okay." Lu Jian left with a smile. Although Zhao Sihai did not give him the answer he wanted, he did not refuse either, which indicated that the two forces might still join hands. "Miss Wu, what do you think of this matter?" After Lu Jian left, Zhao Sihai looked at Wu Mei, who was arranging flowers. Snap! Snap! Wu Mei held the scissors, trimming the flower stems and leaves without a care, and said, "Xu Wendong’s strength is stronger than I imagined." "It’s indeed very strong." Zhao Sihai was also surprised that Xu Wendong defeated Li Xiaowen, a renowned Neijiaquan master. Wu Mei said, "Let’s stick to the previous plan. Give me three days, and I’ll find a way to take Xu Wendong down." Zhao Sihai couldn’t help asking, "What if you can’t take him down?" Wu Mei replied, "Then we’ll abandon the South City reconstruction project." Zhao Sihai’s face changed dramatically. Clearly, he didn’t expect Wu Mei to say that, and an intense unwillingness surged in his heart: "For a mere Xu Wendong, are you willing to give up a project worth tens or even hundreds of billions?" Wu Mei said calmly, "Money can be earned again, but if you’re dead, what’s the use of having so much money?" Zhao Sihai sneered, "Are you afraid of Xu Wendong?" "Yes, I admit that Xu Wendong’s strength surprised me, but I don’t believe he can withstand the Black Dragon Hall and the Li Family Martial Arts School." "I’ll give you three days. If you really can’t take down Xu Wendong, I will join forces with the Li Family Martial Arts School to eliminate him." Wu Mei placed a bouquet of bright red roses into the vase and said quietly, "Ten years ago, I was hunted down and wandered the streets. It was you who saved my life." "In these ten years, we’ve grown together, and I’ve also helped you earn a lot of money. I should have repaid the life-saving grace you gave me." "If you don’t listen to my advice, then we can only part ways." Her face was calm, devoid of any emotion, as if she were talking about something unrelated to her. Zhao Sihai clenched his fists, a surge of intense anger surged in his heart: "Are you breaking up with me over Xu Wendong? Could it be that in your heart, Xu Wendong can affect our relationship of the past ten years?" "I’m doing this for your own good." Wu Mei looked at the few blooming flowers in the vase with full satisfaction, and casually put the scissors aside: "Use these three days to think about our relationship!" she said, and walked away gracefully in high heels. Zhao Sihai flew into a rage: "I only give you one day." ------ The shantytown area. Jin Jianyuan looked at Xu Wendong with admiration: "Doctor Xu, you are practically my reborn parent! Please accept this old man’s bow!" "Elder Jin, you must not do this." Xu Wendong helped the kneeling Jin Jianyuan up: "I am a doctor, saving lives is my duty. You doing this is too much for a junior like me." Tears welled up in Jin Jianyuan’s eyes. He had seen many doctors, without exception, they always acted aloof when treating him. Only Xu Wendong made him feel respected while treating him, and most importantly, he was a true Divine Doctor. "Doctor Xu, have some watermelon." King Kong nervously held a slice of watermelon and handed it to Xu Wendong. Xu Wendong didn’t hesitate. The medicine effect had not been entirely absorbed, and he still felt parched, so the watermelon could cool him down a bit. Jin Jianyuan added, "Doctor Xu, your kindness to this old man is immeasurable. I implore you to stay for dinner tonight, so this old man can fulfill the host’s duty, please don’t refuse." Unable to reject such hospitality, Xu Wendong said, "All right then, just make a couple of simple dishes, don’t go to too much trouble." "No trouble, no trouble." Jin Jianyuan said as he picked up his phone and dialed a number: "San, we have honored guests at my place, bring some ingredients over. What honored guests? Can just anyone be called an honored guest? You must prepare according to our Jin Geduo’s highest standard of hospitality." "What? Order dishes from a hotel? You fool, ordering from a hotel wouldn’t show our hospitality, it must be a home-cooked meal." "Also, tell Gou Sheng to come back and cook personally, and invite a few of the old fellows in the village to join us as guests." The shantytown area was a general term, and this area previously had the striking name of Jin Zhuang, but the people felt this name wasn’t grand enough, so they renamed it Jin Geduo. The name meant abundant gold everywhere, yet despite the grand name, it was very poor. However, Jin Jianyuan was the elder with the highest seniority in Jin Zhuang, revered and respected by all. After hanging up, Jin Jianyuan cheerfully looked at Xu Wendong: "Doctor Xu, do you like fishing? If you do, let’s catch a couple of fish to eat?" "Sure, I love fishing!" Xu Wendong also laughed. The village he lived in had a wild river in the east, and every summer, he would go down to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs to improve his meals, earning him the nickname The Daredevil in the Waves. "Okay, let’s go to South Lake and catch some fish for dinner. Have you ever tried the four-hole carp of South Lake? It’s quite a famous specialty in Qingyuan." Jin Jianyuan laughed, then took Xu Wendong and his son out of the house. Luckily, the rain had subsided, but dark clouds still lingered, making the sky dusky. According to the weather forecast, there wouldn’t be any sunny days in the following week. After walking for over ten minutes, the three arrived at the edge of the vast South Lake. The expansive South Lake was shrouded in mist, and the Lake Heart Island on it seemed ethereal, like an island of immortals. "Master San, if you wanted to eat fish, you could have asked me to bring it to you. There’s no need for the hassle of coming personally!" A middle-aged man in his fifties stood nervously beside a speedboat. He was actually older than Jin Jianyuan, but due to Jin Jianyuan’s much higher seniority, he had to respectfully call him Great Grandfather even with his older age. "Is your illness better?" The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise. From Jin Jianyuan’s walking posture, he could tell that his condition had significantly improved. This amazed him, considering ankylosing spondylitis was dubbed an incurable cancer. Jin Jianyuan laughed heartily: "Thanks to Doctor Xu beside me, if not for his miraculous hands, my condition wouldn’t have improved. I’m here this time to show Doctor Xu around South Lake and catch a few four-hole carps." The middle-aged man gratefully bowed to Xu Wendong: "Thank you, Doctor Xu, for saving our great grandfather. You are practically a reborn parent to Jin Zhuang!" "If you ever want fish, just let us know, and I’ll deliver it to your home." Xu Wendong replied modestly, "Don’t be so polite." The middle-aged man smiled, then made an inviting gesture: "Master San, Uncle Gang, Doctor Xu, please board the boat. These past days, we’ve been catching plenty of large ten-pound carp from Lake Heart Island, let’s go there to fish!" "No, I’m not going to Lake Heart Island, not even if you kill me!" King Kong suddenly went wild, clinging desperately to a willow tree by the lake, his eyes filled with fear. "If you’re not going, go back home obediently," Jin Jianyuan grunted, his son’s sudden madness spoiling his good mood. Xu Wendong, however, frowned, sensing that King Kong’s reluctance to go to Lake Heart Island might have another hidden reason.
