"My heavens, this old man really was poisoned. Look how black the silver needle is!"
"Tsk tsk, this young man's medical skills are truly remarkable, even surpassing Yang Yizhong!"
"A miracle doctor, a miracle doctor!"
...
Seeing the ink-black silver needles, the crowd of onlookers let out gasps of amazement. Only now did they truly understand who the real miracle doctor was!
"Don't believe him, it's just a cheap trick. I guarantee he's a con artist!"
Looking at the ink-black silver needles, Yang Yizhong's heart became even more flustered. He yelled loudly, but not a single person answered him.
"Miss Li! Miss Li!"
Just then, Wang Xu's voice called from afar. Li Mei hurried over and pointed at Yang Yizhong, saying, "This fellow almost killed someone to save face. Captain Wang, you absolutely cannot let him off!"
Li Mei complained indignantly, but Wang Xu's eyes were fixed on her. Not to mention him, even the other police officers were staring at Li Mei, dumbfounded.
My heavens, how could there be such a perfectly beautiful woman in this world? Is she an angel?
Wang Xu stood with his mouth agape, feeling as if his soul had flown away. As someone from a prominent family, he had seen his share of the world, but he had never encountered such unparalleled beauty!
"Captain Wang, did you hear what I said? Captain Wang..."
Beside him, Li Mei saw Wang Xu and the others looking at her as if frozen. She quickly waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Oh, take him away!"
A faint fragrance wafted to him. Wang Xu finally came to his senses. At this moment, he no longer cared about what crime this young man had committed. He would take him away first.
As for this beauty, he would definitely ask Er Zhu who she was when he had time!
If she was single, then he wouldn't be polite!
Wang Xu's words jolted the other officers back to reality. They wiped the drool from the corners of their mouths and rushed forward, handcuffing Yang Yizhong without a word.
At the same time, all the poison from the old man had been expelled. As Wang Xu was about to leave, he saw Er Zhu walking towards him.
"Er Zhu, what exactly happened here?" Wang Xu pointed at the onlookers and then at Yang Yizhong in the car, completely bewildered.
"That old man was poisoned. Look into it. Didn't Sister Mei tell you?"
Er Zhu pointed at the old man who had yet to wake up and gave a brief explanation. He then looked at Yang Yizhong, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
He remembered Sister Mei had come over. Why was this guy still asking?
"Oh, she did. Er Zhu, who is Miss Li to you? Is she single?"
A flicker of awkwardness crossed Wang Xu's eyes. He had intended to leave, but since Er Zhu had mentioned Miss Li, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm a widow who came from the village with Er Zhu. This is the only man I'll ever follow in this life."
Before Er Zhu could speak, Li Mei suddenly walked over. She possessively linked her arm with Er Zhu's, her eyes full of deep affection.
In the past, she used to try to please people by saying she was a widow. But now, she rather enjoyed saying it.
Because as soon as she said that, men would instantly lose interest in her, and she could then stay by Er Zhu's side forever!
"Oh, well, Er Zhu, I'm leaving then."
Indeed, after hearing Li Mei's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Xu's shocked eyes.
Li Mei was very beautiful, and he could even sense that her personality was excellent. But he knew clearly that he and Li Mei had no fate in this life!
Because Li Mei only loved Er Zhu, and his grandfather would never allow him to marry a widow!
Moreover, someone from the village!
"Sister Mei, why do you have to demean yourself like this?"
Seeing Li Mei laughing coyly, Er Zhu naturally understood that Li Mei was deliberately putting herself down. A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
"It's alright. As long as I can be with you, I don't care if others think I'm a promiscuous slut."
Li Mei smiled slightly and tightened her grip on Er Zhu's arm. Although others might think she was wronged, she herself was very happy.
"Yes, together forever."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, his gaze firm as he looked ahead. This sentence seemed to be directed at Li Mei, but it was more like he was saying it to himself.
"Sir, may I ask your name? So I can report it truthfully to the master when he wakes up."
Just as Er Zhu was about to leave with Li Mei, the voice of the butler, the old man, called from behind. Er Zhu merely shook his head and left without a word.
He had only saved one person; such a small matter was nothing to him.
Besides, the most important thing for the old man was not the poisoning, but the person who administered it. On that matter, he could offer no help.
Looking at Er Zhu's departing back, the butler's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. He took out his mobile phone and snapped a picture of Er Zhu's silhouette.
Unfortunately, his phone was too old, and the photo was very blurry. But even so, it would serve as an explanation to the master!
That night, Er Zhu and Li Mei practically explored the entire Hua Bei City. They were both very happy, especially Li Mei, who even felt a sense of being truly in love!
She had met her late husband through an arranged marriage and had always yearned for this feeling of being in love. Today, she finally experienced it!
Clutching the plush toy Er Zhu had bought her, Li Mei fell asleep with a sweet smile.
From then on, Li Mei slept holding it every night, as if holding Er Zhu himself!
The next day, at the Hua Bei City Airport.
Li Mei gazed at Er Zhu beside her with deep affection, her eyes filled with sadness and reluctance. She truly wanted to rush forward and tell Er Zhu that she wasn't going to school anymore, but she managed to restrain herself.
Her status as a widow was already an insurmountable chasm between her and Er Zhu. If she wanted to be with him, she had to become as outstanding as Er Zhu!
"Sister Mei, just focus on your studies. If you need anything, tell Lin Mo."
"Lin Mo, take good care of Sister Mei. If anything happens to Sister Mei, you don't have to come back!"
As the airport announcement echoed, Er Zhu waved goodbye to Li Mei and then looked at Lin Mo beside him.
Er Zhu felt indifferent about parting. After all, he had once been the eldest son of the Luo family in the capital, not some man solely infatuated with romance.
However, seeing Li Mei's tear-filled eyes, Er Zhu still felt a pang of heartache and reluctance. Therefore, his demands of Lin Mo were considerably more stringent.
"Don't worry, Master. I will protect Miss Li well." Lin Mo clasped his hands in front of him and picked up Li Mei's suitcase, heading towards the boarding gate.
"Er Zhu!"
After Lin Mo left, Li Mei could no longer hold back and threw herself into Er Zhu's arms. Instantly, Er Zhu felt his chest grow damp.
"Wait for me to come back. When I return, I will never leave you again!"
Li Mei sobbed as she said these words, clutching Er Zhu even tighter.
"Mmm."
Hearing Er Zhu's perfunctory response, Li Mei's heart sank by half. She finally let go of Er Zhu and turned to walk towards the boarding gate without looking back.
