Lu Ming walked up to Yang Guirong, phone in hand, and crouched down. “I have a special medicine here,” he said, “just take it, and I guarantee you’ll be cured.”
Heh, fool yourself.
If such a miraculous medicine existed, it would have already won a Nobel Prize.
Besides, Yang Guirong wasn’t sick; he was faking it. You can never wake a person who is only pretending to sleep, and you can never cure someone who is only pretending to be sick!
Yang Guirong didn’t believe Lu Ming’s nonsense for a second, his face filled with disdain.
Lu Ming held out the phone. “Take a look.”
“Why would I look? To look at your dad?” Yang Guirong swore vulgarly, his words filthy. Even though his deception was exposed, he chose to continue his act.
No matter what others thought of him, he was determined to complete the task Wu Lingxuan had assigned.
For money!
Lu Ming smiled faintly. “You don’t want to look? Fine, then I’ll read it to you. A week ago, a man stole women’s underwear that was hung out to dry from downstairs Building 29, Huilong Community, and secretly placed it under his bed at home.”
Huh?
Yang Guirong, who had been full of disdain, suddenly’s eyes lit up, his face etched with shock.
Wait, this sounds familiar.
Upon closer thought, wasn’t this exactly what he had done?!
Yang Guirong swallowed, looking at Lu Ming in disbelief. “You, you, how do you know this?”
Lu Ming smiled. “Know what?”
“You…” Yang Guirong hesitated. “No, what are you saying all this for? Does this have anything to do with me?”
Lu Ming replied, “I never said it had anything to do with you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep reading, and you’ll keep listening. Oh, on the 11th of this month, at 9 AM. A certain man, while his good friend was at work, sneaked into his friend’s house and… with his friend’s wife… tsk tsk tsk, is this something a human would do? Let me see, this good friend seems to be surnamed ‘Hao’. Tsk, a truly ‘Hao’ friend.”
Hao?
Yang Guirong froze on the spot, completely stunned.
He had a good friend named Hao, and on the 11th of this month, Yang Guirong had indeed done something disgusting with his friend’s wife.
Now that Lu Ming was reading it out loud in front of everyone, Yang Guirong broke out in a cold sweat, trembling with fear.
This time, he was really trembling, not faking it.
Lu Ming deliberately touched Yang Guirong’s forehead. “Oh dear, Mr. Yang, your illness seems to be getting worse? Your head is ice cold, this is not good. Come, come, I’ll continue reading.”
“No!”
Yang Guirong realized something was wrong. He grabbed Lu Ming’s hand. “This medicine, I’ll take it myself.”
“Oh? Weren’t you very dismissive just now?”
“I am ‘missive’ now!”
Yang Guirong snatched the phone from Lu Ming’s hand and meticulously read through the list of vile deeds, each one matching his own actions.
Everything Yang Guirong had done wrong in the past ten-plus years was clearly written here.
If this were to be revealed, Yang Guirong wouldn’t just face social death; he would lose his family, his wife, and his children, and ultimately end up in prison.
“Finished reading?” Lu Ming took the phone back, patted Yang Guirong on the shoulder, and said, “If your illness is cured, I will delete this message. If your illness is not cured, I will find 100 media outlets and publicly broadcast this message nationwide. You decide.”
Did he even need to choose? It was as obvious as a louse on a monk’s head.
Yang Guirong immediately put on a smile, saying cheerfully, “Oh my, great and benevolent Doctor Lu, what are you saying? After your skillful treatment, my illness is completely cured!”
Lu Ming chuckled. “Are you sure it’s cured? You still look a bit sickly. Don’t force yourself, don’t pretend. Don’t say I forced you, threatened you, or intimidated you. If you’re not well, just tell the truth.”
“No, no, no!” Yang Guirong quickly replied, “My illness is truly cured, I’m not lying to you.”
To prove his illness was truly cured, Yang Guirong even performed a sudden sit-up for Lu Ming!
Then, he demonstrated his martial arts skills while singing at the top of his lungs.
It was a unique form of singing and dancing.
“Good, very good,” Lu Ming clapped his hands. “I didn’t realize Mr. Yang was so multi-talented. Seeing you so full of vigor, your illness is indeed cured.”
Yang Guirong pointed to Lu Ming’s phone, implying: Can you delete the message now?
Lu Ming smiled and deleted the message in front of Yang Guirong.
“Mr. Yang, congratulations on your successful discharge from the hospital.”
At this point, everyone could see what was really going on. They weren’t fools. Yet, they all unanimously chose to remain silent, none of them exposing Lu Ming’s trick.
For no other reason than to see Yang Guirong embarrassed!
It was incredibly amusing.
Amidst the jeers of the crowd, Yang Guirong sheepishly left the hospital.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Returning to his seat, Lu Ming loudly announced, “Next!”
After this ‘farce,’ everyone’s faith in Lu Ming’s medical skills deepened. Even a scammer couldn’t defeat Lu Ming, proving he had genuine ability.
Su Wanran was even more delighted. Fortunately, Lu Ming was there, or she would have been in trouble today.
…
A coffee shop across from the hospital.
Wu Lingxuan sipped her coffee while awaiting the latest reports from the front line.
The earlier reports had pleased her greatly. The pawn she had personally placed had played a crucial role. As long as the chaos continued, the Su family was doomed.
However!
To her utter disbelief, the latest news from the front line left Wu Lingxuan stunned.
After watching the entire process, Wu Lingxuan couldn’t help but admire Lu Ming’s methods.
“Good heavens, fighting fire with fire.”
“Knowing that the Yang Guirong I arranged was a thug and a rogue, and that reason wouldn’t work with him, he used threats and intimidation. Clever.”
In fact, the method was secondary. What impressed Wu Lingxuan most was Lu Ming’s intelligence network.
In just 10 minutes, he had gathered over a decade’s worth of dirt on Yang Guirong, forcing him to yield. What a powerful intelligence network!
Wu Lingxuan murmured to herself, “Lu Ming has the Su family backing him. The intelligence must have come from the Su family. I never expected that the Su family would have such hidden depths. Such a powerful intelligence network, and they never revealed it before.”
In reality, she had completely misunderstood.
It wasn’t the Su family’s intelligence network that was powerful, but Lu Ming’s!
It was the intelligence network of the Dragon Warlord that was powerful!
This was Wu Lingxuan’s first major mistake. Before engaging with her opponent, she hadn’t truly understood who her opponent was!
It wasn’t the Su family; it was the Dragon Warlord!
Without understanding the true opponent, she could never win.
