Chapter 194

Xiao Yiqian shuddered at his mother's words.

Because he had offended that loser Ye Chen, Shi Tianqi not only refused to save him but also wanted to cut all ties with his entire family?

Had this old thing been so bewitched by Ye Chen's medicine that his heart and lungs were clouded?!

He was filled with resentment, but he could only say to Xiao Bihua, "Mom, that old dog surnamed Shi is no good!"

Xiao Bihua gritted her teeth and cursed, "I don't care what method you use, on my eighty-fourth birthday, you must make Shi Tianqi come to Jingcheng to check my health and treat my old ailments. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

Many people become more selfish as they get older.

The older they get, the more they fear death and the more they hope to live longer. Therefore, Xiao Bihua did not want to know why Xiao Yiqian and Shi Tianqi had a conflict; she only wanted Shi Tianqi to continue being her personal physician.

With him as her personal physician, she could easily live to be over ninety, but without him, she might not even make it through this year.

Xiao Yiqian was also extremely depressed. He wanted to explain and complain, but Xiao Bihua gave him no chance at all. After giving her stern order, she immediately hung up the phone.

Xiao Yiqian was so angry that he smashed things in his room, and only then did he finally grit his teeth, pick up his phone, and call Shi Tianqi, attempting to use repentance and pleading to get him to continue treating his mother.

But Shi Tianqi's phone was turned off.

This made Xiao Yiqian even more furious.

But there was no other way. He dared not defy his mother's order, so he had to dress in a disheveled state, go downstairs, drive himself, and head to Shi Tianqi's Jishitang.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Jishitang, the shop was already closed.

Xiao Yiqian was gnashing his teeth in anger at the entrance when he saw two figures emerge from the darkness not far away.

One of them was limping, looking somewhat familiar.

Xiao Yiqian hurriedly hid to the side to observe in secret. As the two approached, he saw that it was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a young man in his twenties.

The young man in his twenties was leaning on a crutch with one hand and carrying a large green oil drum in the other.

The middle-aged man beside him, who was already balding, was supporting the limping youth with one hand and also carrying an identical green oil drum in the other.

Xiao Yiqian recognized the young man; when he had come to see Shi Tianqi for treatment earlier that day, this young man was being kicked out by the shop assistant.

It seemed this guy, having failed to get treatment, was planning to burn down Shi Tianqi's pharmacy!

The two people who had arrived were none other than Gao Junwei, who had acted arrogantly toward Ye Chen at the hospital and was eventually thrown from the third floor by Hong Wu.

Gao Junwei had been left with a permanent limp and hated Ye Chen to the bone. He had originally wanted to find Shi Tianqi to heal his injury before settling scores with Ye Chen, but he hadn't expected Shi Tianqi to refuse him entry.

He returned to the hospital and complained to his father, Gao Jianjun. The two were so furious that they bought two drums of gasoline, intending to torch Shi Tianqi's pharmacy.

Their plan was to first burn down Jishitang to teach Shi Tianqi a lesson, and then find a way to take revenge on Ye Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Yiqian heard Gao Junwei say to Gao Jianjun, "Dad, do you think that old bastard surnamed Shi lives inside the pharmacy?"

"How would I know?" Gao Jianjun said coldly. "Regardless of whether he lives here or not, if he is here, we'll just burn him to death too! Damn it, acting all high and mighty with me, he deserves to die!"

Gao Junwei also gritted his teeth in anger and said, "This guy surnamed Shi actually refused to save a life; burning him to death is letting him off easy!"

After speaking, he opened the gasoline drum and said to Gao Jianjun beside him, "Dad, I think we should just pour the gasoline in through the rolling shutter door, let it spread thoroughly inside, and then light it from the outside. I guarantee not even a cockroach inside will survive!"

Gao Jianjun nodded, snorted coldly, and said, "Good! Burn those sons of bitches to death!"

Although Gao Jianjun's strength in Jin Ling was not top-tier, nor even first-class, when it came to doting on his son, he was truly number one in Jin Ling.

This old man's ancestors had been an only child for generations. He had several daughters before finally having Gao Junwei, his precious treasure, so naturally, he had been pampered in every way since childhood.

When Gao Junwei was in elementary school, because he didn't study well and caused trouble in class, a teacher hit his palm with a ruler. Gao Jianjun immediately brought people to the school and broke the teacher's right arm, leaving him permanently disabled.

When Gao Junwei was in middle school, he suffered a loss in a fight with someone at school. Gao Jianjun directly spent money to hire people to hit the classmate who beat his son, turning him into a vegetable.

Examples like this were countless throughout Gao Junwei's upbringing.

In Gao Jianjun's eyes, anyone who bullied his son deserved to die.

Shi Tianqi refused to treat his son's leg—he deserved to die!

That Ye Chen had actually caused his son to end up in this state—he deserved to die even more!

Therefore, he planned to burn Shi Tianqi to death today and then, according to their established plan, take Ye Chen's life tomorrow!

Seeing that the father and son were really going to burn down Shi Tianqi's pharmacy and possibly even burn Shi Tianqi to death, Xiao Yiqian became anxious. He jumped out without hesitation and said to the two, "Gentlemen! Please, don't be impulsive!"

The Gao father and son were startled!

They had thought no one would notice them in the middle of the night, but they hadn't expected someone to suddenly pop out.

Gao Junwei, in his shock, recognized Xiao Yiqian and asked in surprise, "Aren't you the one who came to see Shi Tianqi for treatment earlier? What, you want to help him?"

Xiao Yiqian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't care about the life or death of that old dog Shi! But he carries his divine medicine with him. I believe his divine medicine can not only heal your leg but also treat my injury. If you just burn him to death like this, his divine medicine will definitely be burned too!"

Gao Junwei suddenly realized!

That's right!

Why hadn't he thought of that!

Shi Tianqi did indeed have divine medicine. That medicine could even cure high paraplegia caused by spinal injuries, so his limping leg would be a piece of cake.

If he burned him to death, wouldn't he lose the chance to heal his leg?

Thinking of this, he became somewhat hesitant.

Xiao Yiqian then said, "Gentlemen, in my opinion, why not do this: don't burn the old dog Shi's shop yet. First, find a way to tie the old dog up, then grab his medicine, and finally, kill him!"

Gao Jianjun frowned and asked, "What, do you also have a grudge against the one surnamed Shi?"

"Of course I have a grudge!" Xiao Yiqian said coldly. "And it's an irreconcilable one! I also want to kill him quickly, but first, I must get the divine medicine to cure my illness!"

Gao Jianjun said, "In that case, why don't we join forces to tie up the one surnamed Shi, force him to hand over the divine medicine, and then kill him and sink his body in the river!"

"Good." Xiao Yiqian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's exchange contact information and meet tomorrow to discuss the details!"
