Chapter 977 - 969: Not Excessive
"Since you’re so sure, then tell me your plan. You’ve definitely planned it out long ago, haven’t you?" Xiao Yifei said.
"Use your medical skill to win people’s hearts. Then, naturally, I can unify the whole prison. You don’t actually need to do much, just fulfill the duties of a doctor well. That’s not too much to ask, right? And I assure you, as long as you achieve this, I’ll definitely give you the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, and then you and Liu Rui can leave, and we’ll each live our lives separately." Liu Bailong said.
It seems Liu Bailong’s thinking is quite thorough. Xiao Yifei pondered carefully; it seems this plan isn’t too demanding. Firstly, it doesn’t violate morality, and secondly, it allows for curing others. Curing others’ illnesses is surely considered a good deed, right?
Thus, to obtain the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Yifei agreed to Liu Bailong’s request. However, curing others certainly takes a lot of time. They’ll undoubtedly need to stay here for a while. Xiao Yifei also needs to persuade Liu Rui to wait for him here.
"Your father agreed to give me the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, but there’s a condition. So, we might need to stay here for a few more days. But don’t worry, I promise I’ll finish things quickly and leave here with you. I don’t want to stay here any longer either. It’s all for the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. I hope you understand me." Xiao Yifei explained to Liu Rui.
He was truly afraid that if Liu Rui became unhappy, he’d leave this place alone, leaving him behind. Xiao Yifei’s current confidence in going to Liu Bailong to demand the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle hinges on Liu Rui still being here. On account of Liu Rui, Liu Bailong wouldn’t easily do anything to him.
"Then go do what you need to do. I’ll wait for you here." Liu Rui said. This answer indeed surprised Xiao Yifei. He imagined he’d need to spend some effort convincing Liu Rui to stay a few more days, but unexpectedly, Liu Rui chose not to act as expected. Truly, this family has rather peculiar thinking.
"Thank you for understanding. I will definitely get things done quickly. Is there honestly nothing more between you and your father?" Xiao Yifei asked. He has seen that there’s an issue between this father and son, a situation he least wants to see.
"That’s it. There’s really nothing more to say between us, as the saying goes: We’re not on the same page, so there’s nothing to plan together." Liu Rui said.
"Uncle Xiao, will you really take me out?" Little Stone ran up to Xiao Yifei, asking with a face full of anticipation.
