"Beep—"
After Su Shiyun left, the satellite phone on Jiang Wuming's body rang. He picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number. His heart moved, and he immediately judged that the owner of the phone must be from the Li family.
Because, besides the few close people around him who knew his phone number, only Li Shanglai did.
As Jiang Wuming made his judgment in his heart, he pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Master Wuming, I am Li Lianyi. We spoke on the phone."
When the call connected, a pleasant voice came from the receiver. Li Lianyi on the other end of the phone spoke first, introducing herself.
"Hello, Miss Li. Do you need something from me?"
Jiang Wuming responded politely, pretending to be oblivious.
On that day, Li Lianyi had interrupted his conversation with Li Shanglai, expressing her desire to learn medical theories from him and become friends, but he had refused.
"Master Wuming, I plan to go to Sujiang with Uncle Shanglai in three days. One is to wish Grandpa Su a happy birthday, and the other is to have Uncle Shanglai discuss cooperation on Qi and Blood Pills with your sister Su Shiyun. I'm specifically seeking your opinion on this matter."
Li Lianyi got straight to the point about the purpose of her call.
"Uh..."
Startled by Li Lianyi's words, Jiang Wuming couldn't help but pause. He hadn't expected Li Lianyi to proactively visit him again after he had refused her meeting.
"Master Wuming, are you unwelcoming?"
Seeing Jiang Wuming remain silent, Li Lianyi asked again.
"Miss Li, it is an honor for the Su family that you and Director Li are visiting to wish my Grandpa Su a happy birthday. How could I possibly not welcome you?
Your presence is welcome by me and the entire Su family, but I cannot give you what you desire."
Sensing the other party's sincerity, Jiang Wuming sighed.
He knew very well that if Li Lianyi visited Su Yuanshan with Li Shanglai to wish him a happy birthday, it would greatly enhance the Su family's reputation, which would be a great thing for the Su family.
However, he also knew Li Lianyi's purpose in contacting him, and he couldn't give her what she wanted.
"No, I think you can," Li Lianyi replied with certainty.
"Miss Li, there's no need for me to lie to you. Well, I know you want to discuss medical theories with me, but I'm an amateur in medicine."
Jiang Wuming gave a wry smile, no longer hiding this fact.
"I know you don't understand."
Li Lianyi's words were startling. Before Jiang Wuming could respond, she continued, "But you have someone behind you who does, don't you?"
"—"
Jiang Wuming was speechless.
As Li Lianyi said, Jiang Wuming's master, Daoist Tianlong, was quite proficient in medicine.
"If you can introduce me to the person who holds the prescription and refining secrets for the Qi and Blood Pills, and let me consult with him on medical theories, I can agree to do one thing for you."
Li Lianyi spoke again, breaking the silence. She had done her homework before making this call and was confident she could persuade Jiang Wuming.
"Anything?"
Jiang Wuming was a little surprised. Li Lianyi's obsession with medicine far exceeded his imagination, as she was proactively offering a reward first.
"The thing I'm talking about should be the thing you most want me to do, and it's also what I'm best at," Li Lianyi said confidently. "I can cure Grandpa Su's lung illness."
"Miss Li is truly well-prepared, and very confident, one might even say forceful."
Jiang Wuming spoke calmly, neither agreeing nor refusing, secretly marveling at how extraordinary Li Lianyi was.
"Master Wuming, you won't refuse, right?" Li Lianyi avoided answering directly, her confidence unshaken.
"Deal!"
After a moment of deliberation, Jiang Wuming agreed.
At this point, Su Shiyun had already taken control of the Su Group, and the Su family was on the verge of cooperating with the Li family in the field of Qi and Blood Pills. It was only a matter of time before they soared. If he could cure Su Yuanshan's lung illness, it would mean he had done everything he could for the Su family!
And he believed that Li Lianyi, known as the "Little Medical Immortal," given her immense confidence, must be able to cure Su Yuanshan's lung illness!
As for introducing Li Lianyi to Daoist Tianlong to discuss medicine...
Jiang Wuming felt it shouldn't be a big problem; the old man would likely grant him this favor.
After all, he hadn't refused when Jiang Wuming wanted to commercialize the prescription and refining secrets for the Qi and Blood Pills!
"Master Wuming, happy cooperation. I'll see you at the Su family ancestral home in three days!"
On the other end of the line, Li Lianyi finished speaking and hung up the phone without any further ado, not waiting for Jiang Wuming to say anything more.
"Lianyi, what's up with that Master Wuming? You were so proactive, and he was still being coy for so long, isn't he a bit too arrogant?"
Li Shanglai, sitting on a sofa not far from Li Lianyi, couldn't help but complain as Li Lianyi hung up the phone.
"He has the capital to be arrogant."
Li Lianyi responded faintly, recalling what had happened in Sujiang the previous night.
She was certain that Liu Yidao had died at Jiang Wuming's hands last night!
"Uh..."
Stunned by Li Lianyi's words, Li Shanglai froze on the spot.
In his memory, Li Lianyi, who had perfectly inherited the Li family's ancestral medical knowledge and was known as the "Little Medical Immortal," had never given such an evaluation to anyone of her generation.
Not even the scions of powerful families or martial arts geniuses in Longguo had ever received such treatment!
Li Lianyi ignored the bewildered Li Shanglai and walked directly to the window, gazing in the direction of Sujiang, thinking to herself.
"If you can kill Liu Yidao, are you a War God?"
...
On the other side, Jiang Wuming put away his satellite phone.
"This woman is truly incredibly shrewd and overbearing."
Recalling the process and content of the conversation, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Since he had left Longhu Mountain and emerged into the world, this was the first time he had negotiated with someone and been completely led by the nose—Li Lianyi had mastered the rhythm perfectly!
"Beep—"
Just as Jiang Wuming was sighing, the phone rang again.
Jiang Wuming picked it up and saw it was Qin Xiaozhi calling. He answered.
"Boss, your phone has been busy all along. Did something happen to a brother?"
Qin Xiaozhi spoke first, asking with some worry.
He had been trying to call Jiang Wuming's phone earlier, and it had kept saying it was busy.
As far as he knew, fewer than ten people in the world knew Jiang Wuming's phone number. Besides Su Shiyun, they were all people closest to Jiang Wuming in the War Dragon Hall.
And based on his understanding of Jiang Wuming, after what happened last night, Jiang Wuming would undoubtedly be by Su Shiyun's side, protecting her safety.
Therefore, the possibility of Jiang Wuming being on the phone with Su Shiyun could be ruled out.
"No, it's Li Lianyi, the Little Medical Immortal from the Li family."
Jiang Wuming first answered Qin Xiaozhi and then asked, "Xiaozhi, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Boss, my dad asked me to make this call. He wants to go to the Su family in three days to wish Grandpa Su a happy birthday."
"Wish a happy birthday?"
Jiang Wuming was taken aback by this.
Earlier, Li Lianyi had expressed her intention to visit and wish Su Yuanshan a happy birthday, and now Qin Linhai also wanted to come...
"Boss, wishing a happy birthday is the pretext. In reality, my dad wants to show his support for the Su family. This way, those troublesome figures won't dare to lay hands on Sister Shiyun and the Su family in the future, solving the problem once and for all." Qin Xiaozhi said.
"Xiaozhi, did you ask your dad to do this, or did he propose it himself?" Jiang Wuming asked thoughtfully.
"My dad brought it up proactively. He wants to see you again and discuss some matters. As for showing support for the Su family, this is his birthday gift to Grandpa Su on your behalf," Qin Xiaozhi replied truthfully.
"Alright."
After a moment of thought, Jiang Wuming agreed.
He and Qin Xiaozhi both knew what Qin Linhai wanted to discuss, but both tacitly avoided mentioning it.
