At this time, the people of the small fishing village were already exercising by the sea, just not in the same direction as where Hai Long was. After all, they had just killed someone at the abandoned shipyard yesterday, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go there again today. Li Guohui led the people of the small fishing village to the beach near the wealthy area on the other side of the fishing boats for their exercise. Therefore, when Hai Long arrived at the fishing village, he did not run into Li Guohui and the others.
Holding his clothes, Hai Long entered Liu Yong'an's courtyard, turned on the faucet, washed his body, dried himself, and then put his clothes back on before returning to Li Wanhu. Li Wanhu's wife, who had been rescued, had already regained consciousness. She said apologetically to Li Wanhu, "Old Li, I've lived a full life. I'm content that the heavens let me meet you and spend this life with you. I'm fine with dying; there's nothing to complain about."
Hearing his wife's words, Li Wanhu said excitedly, "No, I'm not dead, and the King of Hell has no right to take you. In this life, no one else suits me but you. Believe the doctor; the giant jellyfish that stung you has been killed, and the venom sac has been given to the doctor to make an antitoxin serum. Believe me, the doctor will bring the serum over soon, and you'll be fine."
Li Wanhu's wife had been tormented by the giant jellyfish's venom for two years. Despite seeing countless doctors, nothing had worked, and she had long given up hope. However, every time she saw Li Wanhu, she couldn't help but fight the disease. Seeing Li Wanhu so agitated, she could only nod helplessly.
Comforting Li Wanhu, she said, "Yes, I believe it. This time, it will definitely cure me. Don't get so excited; you need to take care of yourself too. If my illness is cured but you collapse, what will we do?"
Hearing his wife's words, Li Wanhu nodded and calmed down.
Unexpectedly, the serum was produced faster than expected. It only took an hour to complete. Doctor Wang brought the antitoxin to Li Wanhu's RV, approached Li Wanhu's wife's bed, and, seeing the excited looks of the people around him, said to Li Wanhu, "It's done." Under the watchful eyes of Li Wanhu and the others, Doctor Wang steadily injected the antitoxin into Li Wanhu's wife's body. Ten minutes later, the abnormal flush on her face subsided, and her pale hands turned rosy again. Her heart resumed its strong and steady beat. After re-examining her with medical equipment, Doctor Wang solemnly told Li Wanhu, "The serum has completely cleared the toxins from your wife's body. She is now completely normal."
Hearing the doctor's words, Li Wanhu said excitedly, "So, the toxins that have tormented my wife for two years have been completely eliminated." Doctor Wang took off his mask and smiled, nodding. Li Wanhu laughed heartily.
At this moment, after the physical examination, Li Wanhu's wife could walk normally without any support. She smiled and came to Li Wanhu's side, tears streaming down her face. Seeing his wife's tearful but smiling face, Li Wanhu could no longer hold back and hugged her, sobbing. For two years, Li Wanhu and his wife had felt like they were reborn. Thinking of this, Li Wanhu said to Hai Long with genuine gratitude, "Hai Long, I, Li Wanhu, sincerely thank you. If it weren't for you, my life would have been meaningless from now on."
Hai Long smiled and said, "For me, it's just a small matter. If you had met me earlier, this would have been resolved long ago."
Li Wanhu said seriously, "It may be a small matter for you, but it's a matter of life and death for me, Li Wanhu. I said a long time ago that whoever could cure my wife's illness would get ten million. Come with me, and I'll have my secretary send you the money."
Hai Long laughed and said, "I helped you because we have a connection, not for the money. Old man, if you give me money, we won't be able to be friends anymore."
Li Wanhu said anxiously, "Then how can I thank you? You can say you saved my wife's life. If I do nothing, what kind of person would I be?"
Li Wanhu realized that Hai Long was not short of money. Think about it: Hai Long, relying on these fishermen, worked near the Devil's Sea every day, catching thousands of crabs. Before they even reached the market, they were all bought by the wealthy area. He could earn at least 100,000 yuan a day, and up to 200,000 yuan. Over a year, that's tens of millions of yuan. How could he be interested in the mere ten million yuan Li Wanhu offered? He was just too eager.
Hai Long laughed and said, "Old man, if you really want to thank me and consider me a friend, invite me for a drink. Enjoying a drink with a friend is more comfortable than giving me any amount of money."
Hearing Hai Long's words, Li Wanhu knew that Hai Long was also a formidable person. He couldn't help but show his own dominant side and said, "Good, it's my good fortune to meet you, a young brother, in my later years. Tonight, I'll host a family banquet, and we'll drink until we're both drunk."
Hai Long laughed heartily and said, "That's more like it."
Chen Xiaoya, seeing Hai Long and her grandfather chatting happily, became even more curious about him. However, she also needed to fulfill her promise. She walked to Hai Long and said, "I told you that if you cured my grandmother, we wouldn't investigate Guan Daqiu anymore. I keep my word. Now you can rest assured that you and your subordinates will be safe."
Hai Long smiled meaningfully at Chen Xiaoya but said nothing, thinking to himself, "All the people who knew about this matter, except for my subordinates who swore blood oaths of loyalty, have been killed by me. Some were burned to ashes, and others were blown to pieces at sea. Even if you want to find their bodies, you won't be able to. Without the bodies, how can you determine that they were killed by us?"
Li Wanhu, seeing Hai Long's expression, knew that even if Chen Xiaoya wanted to investigate, she wouldn't find anything. He laughed and said, "Hai Long, since my wife is cured, I plan to host a grand party at home. I've already arranged for the servants to prepare. Come with me, and I'll treat you well."
Hai Long laughed and said, "Sure, but I'll come a bit later. My subordinates are still waiting for me in the village. I'll call you once I've arranged everything."
Li Wanhu nodded and led Chen Xiaoya, who was somewhat unwilling, away. Chen Xiaoya never expected that Hai Long wouldn't appreciate her gesture. Just then, her phone rang. It was her colleague. Suppressing her anger, she asked, "What's up?"
Captain Zhao, Chen Xiaoya's team leader, said bitterly, "Xiaoya, we can't continue the investigation. Guan Daqiu's body has been found, but it can't be called a body anymore."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoya said excitedly, "What happened? Tell me slowly."
Captain Zhao told Chen Xiaoya the whole story. Early in the morning, they received a report from fishermen that many bloody yacht fragments were found on the beach. Captain Zhao immediately led his team to the seaside. As Guan Daqiu was a well-known gangster in the East Sea, his every move was closely watched by the police. Therefore, when they saw the yacht fragments, Captain Zhao knew it was bad. This case would be difficult to investigate.
After having his subordinates retrieve the fragments, Captain Zhao and his team went straight to Guan Daqiu's house. When they asked his wife, she said that Guan Daqiu had left on the yacht last night. Hearing this, Captain Zhao's heart sank. If the yacht exploded at sea, the people on board would have died instantly, and their bodies would likely have been eaten by fish. There was nothing left to investigate.
Chen Xiaoya had originally wanted to find a way to catch Hai Long, but hearing Captain Zhao's words, she looked at Hai Long in surprise and hung up the phone, following Li Wanhu.
Li Wanhu's youngest son, Li Jihao, was in charge of the business in Donghai City. He was supposed to come with his father today, but he was busy signing an important contract with foreign businessmen and couldn't make it. After the meeting at noon, he heard that his mother had recovered and immediately drove home. Seeing his mother walking healthily with his father outside the villa, he shed tears and ran to her side, crying, "Mother, you're finally better."
Li Wanhu laughed heartily and said, "Of course, I didn't expect this to be so dramatic." Then, Li Wanhu told his youngest son, Li Jihao, the whole story, from meeting Hai Long to obtaining the venom sac.
Hearing his father's words, Li Jihao was stunned, feeling like his father was telling a melodramatic TV show. He laughed and said, "Wow, Dad, I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
Li Wanhu laughed and said, "It's like a TV show, with life and death. But now there's a problem: how to thank Hai Long. He's not short of money. This guy has formed his own team and catches crabs in the Devil's Sea, earning tens of millions of yuan a year, all pure profit. Giving him money as a thank you won't work."
Li Jihao laughed and said, "Dad, this kind of person can't be satisfied with a small amount of money. More money is needed to satisfy him."
Hearing this, Li Wanhu said, "Oh, go on."
Li Jihao laughed and said, "Who doesn't want more money? Ten million doesn't matter, but what about one hundred million? Of course, we can't give him that much, but we can do business with him. Catching crabs can earn a lot of money. We can give him a few cargo ships and let him run maritime trade with us. With an annual income of one hundred million, I don't think he'll be able to resist. Besides, he hasn't experienced true luxury. He's a commoner who has suddenly become rich. He thinks the best things available on the market are the best lifestyle. Tonight, when he comes, I'll take him to visit our family's castle and show him the luxury cars in our garage. I bet the best car he's seen is a Ferrari on TV. Does he know about the Bugatti Veyron? I doubt he can afford one with his current wealth. When he sees our lifestyle, he'll know what true luxury is. Who wouldn't want to live like that? Once he has this idea, I think proposing a business partnership won't be a problem."
