    Chapter 15

    Seeing that the administrator He Yunxiao was not taking any action, Li Hao and his friends became even more proud of their masterpiece. He Yunxiao's personal vendetta couldn't hinder their true capabilities!

    Now, unless Dr. Wu suddenly went blind, he would surely notice their gift effects flooding the screen with messages.

    He Yunxiao stayed quiet; these guys were all bark and no bite.

    Dr. Wu didn't indulge these wealthy young men and simply logged off.

    If it weren't for wanting to watch the drama between Huang Qiang and his uncle, he wouldn't have logged in. After all, he had just performed the shaman dance at dawn and had been dealing with Huang Qiang and his nephew all day. Another live stream without clocking in would be a total waste!

    Li Hao and his friends were blown away by Dr. Wu's refusal to bow to money. They had already softened their stance, yet he was still so tough?

    The young men, who had just turned adults, were momentarily panicked, so much so that they crawled around on the ground a few more times. Li Hao finally worked up the nerve to call He Yunxiao.

    He Yunxiao was thrilled. Hadn't these guys been mocking his big belly earlier? Well, the tables have turned, and now it's their turn to eat crow.

    He Yunxiao laughed for a while, then thought and said, "Dr. Wu isn't one to nitpick. If he wants to make money, he has plenty of ways and doesn't need your money. Just do as he says and take care of what needs to be done."

    Li Hao and his friends paused, then asked, "Alright! Can you give us the address of Chengde Medical Hall? We'll go see him in person."

    He Yunxiao sent Li Hao the location of Nan Nuo Village on WeChat.

    The guys were floored when they saw the location—over three thousand kilometers away.

    He Yunxiao's first-time perk was really good; Dr. Wu personally came to treat them, while they had to travel thousands of miles to seek him out. Why is the gap between people so huge?

    Li Hao clenched his teeth, fighting back tears, "We'll go, we'll go!"

    After ending the call with He Yunxiao, the young men started planning to apologize to Dr. Shi. Li Hao, with his legs still wobbly, pulled out the top-of-the-line camera and tossed it to Wang Dong, "Take this, make sure you record our apology. I'll have my dad arrange a private jet right away."

    Wang Dong held the camera, glanced at the dark sky outside the window, and asked, "Are we going now?"

    They exchanged glances, gulping. Li Hao hesitated, "Let's wait, early tomorrow morning..."

    They were terrified of Dr. Shi; even during the day, he seemed eerie. Going to apologize in the middle of the night might just send them straight to their grave.

    After watching the drama, Dr. Wu then saw the entire internet join in. The live stream footage of Huang Qiang linking up with Dr. Wu was turned into short videos and shared like crazy. Many netizens recognized the handsome young man as Dr. Wu, who performed the shaman dance beautifully at dawn.

    Even the local police later issued an official notice on a blue background with white text, confirming that they had indeed arrested two individuals surnamed Huang. Several chunks of protected animal meat were found in their home freezer, along with three hunting rifles under the bed. They were rushed to the hospital for a broken arm and to have their stomachs pumped. They will be arrested according to the law.

    With the official police notice out, netizens had no choice but to believe.

    "So it was really that shaman's pill that cured Huang Zhigang's throat swelling that major hospitals couldn't diagnose for two months? That's amazing!"

    "So, I've had five daughters and couldn't have a son, maybe it's because of some dirty thing harming me? I should also connect with this shaman and have him check if I can have a son."

    "Can he cure cancer?"

    Some netizens who had just returned from Shark Video Platform were very disheartened and posted, "The Chengde Medical Hall account already has nearly two million followers. He only streams for an hour a day; how many patients can he connect with? Ordinary people like us have no chance of being connected!"

    An ID named "Wu Heng is my wife" popped up to reply: 【From what I know, Dr. Wu Heng likes to watch beauty videos and will actively reply under them.】

    Tu Tu was the first one to do it! She didn't connect with Wu Heng for a live consultation.

    The comment from Chengde Medical Hall suggesting that beauties should shave their heads is still prominently displayed at the top of the comment section. The tone in the comments has shifted, with more and more fans urging Tu Tu to connect with Wu Heng for a live consultation.

    At that moment, a young man holding a phone quietly cracked open the girl's door and peeked inside, catching a glimpse of a beautiful girl lying on a European-style bed, fast asleep, her silky hair fanned out like satin on one side.

    The young man deliberately stomped loudly as he approached, but Tu Tu still showed no signs of waking up.

    He gently touched Tu Tu's hair, then glanced at Wu Heng's second reply in the comments, which advised against shaving her head and suggested washing it with cold water instead. After a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind and murmured, "Sister, don't hit me when you wake up. I'm doing this to save you."

    The next morning

    The usually quiet Shi family, which rarely had visitors, welcomed several unexpected guests. Wu Su, the butler of the Shi family, received these young masters.

    Wu Su found it odd. The only young master of the Shi family, Shi Xuan, had always been a loner with no friends. Could he have finally made some?

    Li Hao forced out a few fake tears: "We heard Shi Xuan is sick, and we're really worried. We came all the way to see him."

    Wu Su looked at them in silence, thinking that they had all ended up in wheelchairs, while Shi Xuan wasn't sick enough to be on his deathbed.

    This sudden burst of friendship.

    Li Hao and his friends arrived in electric wheelchairs, with small blankets draped over their legs to conceal their strange condition.

    Crawling around at home was one thing, but they shouldn't be doing it at the Shi family's estate.

    Following Butler Wu through the winding corridors, they walked for what felt like ages before reaching a rundown courtyard. Wu Su didn't enter but gestured for Li Hao and his friends to go in on their own.

    They exchanged nervous glances, not daring to move. Li Hao shoved Wang Dong's wheelchair to the front, and Wang Dong reluctantly knocked on the door and went in.

    Inside the dimly lit bedroom, aside from sparse furnishings, though spotless, there was no sign of life.

    A tall, slender young man lay on the bed, his exposed ankles ghostly pale.

    Despite the sweltering summer heat, the room was unnaturally cold.

    Li Hao and his friends were terrified. Shi Xuan wasn't just sick; he looked like he was on the brink of death.

    They had always heard that Shi Xuan was creepy, and now they deeply regretted their earlier antics.

    "Shi, Shi, Shi Xuan, hello."

    Li Hao shot a glare at Wang Dong and the others, composed himself, and said, "Shi Xuan, we're here to apologize."

    Li Hao waved his hand, and immediately one of his buddies positioned the camera.

    Shi Xuan stared at the ceiling, his voice like ice: "Get out."

    They hadn't managed to apologize and weren't ready to leave. Sitting in their wheelchairs like a little parade, they still couldn't match Shi Xuan's presence.

    Li Hao rubbed his goosebump-covered arms and glanced at Wang Dong, who was fiddling with a necklace around his neck that had a small photo locket attached.

    Li Hao leaned in for a closer look, then hissed angrily, "Wang Dong, are you some kind of pervert?"

    The photo was none other than Wu Heng. This pervert had a small photo of Wu Heng hanging around his neck, like a complete weirdo!

    Wang Dong was scared. Who wanted to come to Shi Xuan's house to apologize? If it weren't for messing with Shi Xuan, they wouldn't have gotten into this mess. After some thought, he decided to take a small photo of Wu Heng and wear it around his neck.

    Needless to say, whether it was psychological or Wu Heng's photo was really that powerful, Wang Dong felt pretty confident.

    "A grown man hanging another man's photo around his neck—isn't that just embarrassing? Let me, the big brother, take this embarrassment on myself!"

    Li Hao cursed Wang Dong for being a sly bastard and immediately reached out to grab the necklace photo box to wear it around his own neck. Seeing this, the others jumped in and started grabbing too.

    "Stop grabbing! Let me wear it first!"

    Li Hao cursed under his breath, and amidst the struggle of several hands, they couldn’t stand up and could only crawl. The necklace went flying in an arc towards Shi Xuan, almost hitting him in the face.

    Li Hao and the others could clearly feel the tension in the room thicken.

    The lanky guy on the bed sat up, his cold gaze sweeping over Li Hao and the others, and he opened the necklace box that had attacked him.

    The photo was small, but it showed a young man covered in colorful paint. His bell-adorned hand held a ritual cloth high, dancing lightly and shining brightly.

    Shi Xuan's calm, lifeless eyes flickered for a moment.

    "He..."

    Li Hao, afraid that Shi Xuan, this weirdo, would think they had hired a shaman to deal with him, quickly said, "It was this shaman who made us come apologize to you. Of course, we are also very sincere in wanting to apologize."

    Shi Xuan tightened his grip on the photo box and asked, "He’s still alive?"

    What kind of question is that?

    The guy with the yellow-dyed hair cried, "Doctor Wu Heng is certainly not dead, but we are about to die. Please, Shi Xuan, cut us some slack this one time. We’ll never dare again."

    Shi Xuan said flatly, "Alright, I accept."

    Li Hao and the others were stunned. They had planned all night how to get Shi Xuan to accept their apology, even if it meant groveling.

    Just like that? He forgave us that easily?!

    That shaman is the real deal!

    Li Hao and the others were so excited they almost jumped for joy. Once they confirmed the apology video was recorded, they noticed that Shi Xuan had no intention of returning the necklace to Wang Dong, but they didn’t mind. After all, Shi Xuan was a total weirdo, and they could accept that. They quickly found an excuse and bolted out of the Shi household.

    As soon as they left, they hopped into a private car waiting for them, which took them towards the airport. Their parents had already booked a flight overnight, and they were going to Nan Nuo Village by private plane, hoping to see Wu Heng in person today!

    Shi Xuan leaned by the bed, repeatedly opening and closing the necklace box, losing track of how long he’d been staring at it.

    His bed was by the window, and through the rotting wooden window frame, he could clearly see the well in the courtyard, with a large tree quietly shedding dead branches beside it.

    Suddenly, the bell on the bedside table started ringing by itself.

    "Ding—ding—ding."

    Shi Xuan's hand, fiddling with the photo box, paused slightly.

    Wu Heng was in the ancient well, directing a small water snake, "Xi Xi, look carefully."

    There were two strings of bells, and the one worn on the left wrist was missing. Although old lady Lai didn’t want it, Wu Heng still wanted to find it. He guessed it had fallen into this well when he returned.

    Xi Xi searched the well but couldn’t find it.

    Wu Heng was thinking about the whereabouts of the bell string when the small gray snake suddenly hissed threateningly.

    Wu Heng, half-hidden in the ancient well, looked up and saw the young man full of deathly aura from that night appearing by the well, his gaze entirely on him.

    Shi Xuan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he suddenly took half a step forward, one hand resting on the edge of the well: "I..."

    Wu Heng blurted out, "Brother, are you still alive?"
