Chapter 260 I'll poison you next time

A few seconds later, Long Xiao washed his hands by the pool and walked over to Ye Mei. "Big sister, look at my hands."

His hands, which had been dark just moments ago, had now returned to their original state, as if he had simply washed off dirt.

Ye Mei didn't believe that Long Xiao could detoxify himself with a spiritual talisman, but she couldn't figure out what he had used to do so.

Realizing she had encountered a master, Ye Mei stood up and said, "Since Brother Long doesn't wish for me to stay, I'll be going now."

Seeing Ye Mei's intention to leave, Long Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Ye Mei, won't you stay for dinner before you go?"

Ye Mei smiled back, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

Long Xiao also smiled, "I can detoxify your poison, but you can't detoxify mine."

"Perhaps not. I'll be going now. I'll try to poison you again next time," Ye Mei said with a smile.

Long Xiao opened the door for Ye Mei and said, "There might not be a next time. It's only because Ye Xiao pleaded on your behalf that I didn't take action this time."

Ye Mei walked into the courtyard and said, "Shouldn't I also test Brother Long's strength?"

"Certainly. There are few people in the courtyard at noon. Feel free to make a move."

As soon as Long Xiao finished speaking, Ye Mei suddenly lunged towards Li Yizhen, who was standing not far away.

She knew that directly confronting Long Xiao would be difficult. By attacking Li Yizhen, she hoped Long Xiao would come to his rescue, giving her an opportunity to kill him.

As Ye Mei reached Li Yizhen, before she could even extend her hand, Long Xiao's hand had already grasped her wrist.

No matter how hard Ye Mei struggled, she couldn't pull her outstretched hand free.

"Master Long, you're good at everything except honesty. If you like someone, just say it. What is this secret hand-holding?"

Long Xiao's right hand brushed over Ye Mei's arm. Ye Mei didn't feel much force, but her right arm became immobile.

"What did you do to me?" Ye Mei quickly retreated, looking at Long Xiao in surprise and asked.

"This is a common dislocating technique. Your arm is dislocated."

Ye Mei had also studied the art of dislocating bones and had practiced techniques from multiple schools. She had never encountered anything like Long Xiao's method.

Her strength was completely outmatched. Ye Mei completely abandoned the idea of assassinating Long Xiao.

"Alright, I give up. But my master won't give up. Be careful," Ye Mei sighed, took a few steps back, and walked towards the entrance of Xinglin Grass Hall.

Watching Ye Mei's slender retreating figure, Long Xiao felt pity for the assassins from 'Hanshan Temple'. If they failed their missions, they would face severe punishment, even death.

Xiao Ming poked his head through the archway leading to the backyard and secretly looked at Long Xiao. "Brother Long, did the pretty big sister leave?"

Long Xiao nodded. Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good she's gone. Sister Meiqin has lunch ready. Let's go eat."

During the meal, Long Xiao inquired about the progress of Mi Tianfu's renovation and asked Ming Yue and Tong Hui if they had encountered any difficult cases in the past two days.

Ming Yue and Tong Hui's medical skills were improving rapidly. They could cure common ailments instantly, and their prescriptions for serious illnesses were rarely incorrect.

As soon as everyone finished eating and before they could rest, the main gate of Xinglin Grass Hall was forcefully pushed open. Four young men carried a stretcher and rushed in.

"Doctor, save her! Please save my sister quickly."

Hearing the commotion, everyone rushed out of the building. The stretcher was placed on the ground, and on it lay a woman covered in blood.

Ming Yue stepped forward, took the woman's wrist, and felt her pulse. "Master, she still has a pulse."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "Carry her inside first and treat her wounds."

One of the young men carrying the stretcher, covered in blood, grabbed Long Xiao's hand. "Doctor, please save my sister."

Long Xiao noticed that the young man was also injured and used his life energy to examine his condition.

To Long Xiao's surprise, this young man had severe damage to his spleen and liver, and he was bleeding internally.

Long Xiao grabbed the young man's wrist in return. "Come into the room with me. Your internal organs are bleeding profusely."

"I'm fine. Save my sister quickly," the young man insisted.

"Your sister has them to save. Hurry and come with me, or it will be too late."

Upon entering the emergency room, Long Xiao had the young man lie down on the bed and gave him two hemostatic and internal injury medications.

The young man was bleeding internally, and the pressure in his abdomen was increasing. Long Xiao picked up a silver needle, sterilized it, peeled back the young man's clothes, and inserted it.

A spurt of blood erupted, and Long Xiao quickly dodged. Once the pressure of the bleeding subsided, Long Xiao grasped the young man's wrist and infused a trace of life energy into him, protecting his heart.

After a period of rescue, the young man was out of danger. Long Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

"Lie in bed and don't move. I'll go check on your sister," Long Xiao said.

The young man felt the pain in his body lessen and said, "Thank you, Doctor."

Long Xiao went into the room where the woman was being treated. Her wounds had already been dealt with. Long Xiao inquired about her condition. Ming Yue informed Long Xiao that the woman had primarily external injuries and no serious internal damage, and she had already been given internal injury medicine.

With both patients stabilized, Long Xiao came out of the room and called the three young men who had brought them over.

"What happened to them? Why did such a serious incident occur, and why didn't you take them to the hospital?" Long Xiao asked.

"Doctor, is Manager Zhao alright?" one of the young men asked.

"They are fine. As long as they were alive when brought to Xinglin Grass Hall, they will not die," Long Xiao replied.

The three young men breathed a collective sigh of relief and began to explain the incident to Long Xiao.

These five individuals were from Zhao Family Dock. The injured woman was Zhao Xinlan, daughter of Zhao Liang, the president of Xiaohan Company. The injured man was Zhao Xin Yu, Zhao Liang's third son.

This morning, while unloading a shipment of electric vehicles from Japan at Zhao Family Dock, the entire ship's cargo of electric vehicles suddenly caught fire and exploded violently.

Zhao Xin Yu and Zhao Xinlan, who were present at the scene, were caught in the blast and severely injured.

"Why didn't you take them to the hospital? Why bring them here?" Long Xiao asked.

One of the young men replied, "I am Manager Zhao's assistant. My father and I have been treated by Doctor Long here before. My father's cancer was cured, so I believe even the most serious injuries can be healed by Doctor Long."

Long Xiao nodded slightly and smiled, "Are there other reasons?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Long Xiao, the young man confessed, "Yes, Vice President Zhao instructed us not to take them to the hospital. He was worried that too many casualties would create a bad impression, so all the bodies were hidden, and those critically injured and near death were also concealed."

"You mean only those with minor injuries were sent to the hospital?"

The young man nodded and said, "No, those with serious injuries were also sent to the hospital, but they were not treated. They were hidden away to await death."

"They are both members of the Zhao family, and they were also left to die?" Long Xiao asked incredulously.

The young man nodded. "Yes. Manager Zhao and his siblings do not share the same mother. Vice President Zhao is currently in power, and their business philosophies differ, leading to frequent disputes."

The young man referring to Vice President Zhao was Zhao Xin Tian. Long Xiao had interacted with Zhao Xin Tian before. Zhao Xin Tian was the one who facilitated the cooperation between Xiaohan Group and Japan's Linchuan Group, and Long Xiao didn't have a good impression of him.
