Chapter 4791: Lu Yan's Additional Story (21)
"It's not me, it's a friend of mine," Lu Yan said.
"That won't do," Qiao Fei did not show her any face and directly refused.
"Hey, why are you being so unreasonable? We've known each other for years, and it's not even worth a cup of liquor?" Lu Yan pouted.
Qiao Fei looked at her with a complicated expression. "Yan, let me put it this way. If you were the one who was poisoned today, even if I had to fight against my family, I would still bring you a glass of liquor to save your life. But apart from you, I won't touch the Tiger Bone Liquor for anyone else."
"So petty…" Lu Yan pretended to be angry as she crossed her arms.
Qiao Fei's heart ached when he saw Lu Yan angry.
He turned her body around and explained patiently, "Yan, you're the most well-informed. You should know that Siberian tigers are extinct here. They're rare animals to begin with, so it's impossible for anyone in the world to make more Tiger Bone Liquor."
"But your family has some stock," Lu Yan retorted.
Qiao Fei nodded. "Our family does have some stock, but we've used a lot of it over the years. I used to drink a little every year during celebration, but now my father has made a rule that even the men in our family can only drink once every three years. It is usually kept in our family's secret chamber and has someone looking after it. Only my father can enter that secret chamber."
"Isn't it just some lousy wine? Is there a need for you guys to go through so much trouble?"
"That's because the Tiger Bone Liquor can cure 36 types of toxins. It can also cure blood stasis and extend one's lifespan. It can even cure early-stage cancer cells. All these years, my father only gave a glass of liquor to outsiders, and he was the former president of Russia. So… Yan, how do you think I should give something so important to your friend? Give me a reason…"
Qiao Fei patiently explained, afraid that Lu Yan would get angry.
Lu Yan was hot-tempered. If she really got angry, she would really take a flight away.
Was that worth it? She had just arrived and her butt hadn't even warmed up yet.
When Lu Yan heard this, she took out a check from her bag and waved it in the air.
"This is one billion yuan from the international bank. You can cash it out anytime. I'll use one billion yuan to buy a cup from the Qiao family. Is that okay?"
Qiao Fei smiled bitterly. "If it could be sold, our family would have run out of stock long ago… Do you know that two years ago, in a rich country in the Middle East, a prince fell seriously ill and needed Tiger Bone Liquor? His father offered ten billion US dollars."
Lu Yan was stunned. So there was really someone so generous. What did 10 billion US dollars mean? That was over 60 billion yuan?
"But my father refused. Later on, they sent mercenaries into the country to steal it. We even had a fierce battle. From then on, the two families became enemies… If you were me, you might say that it's just a glass of wine. You could just sell it to him. However, there are so many people in the world. If we sell it to one person, and then more people want to buy it, how much would we have left? What would we do when our family needs to use it? Wait for death?"
Qiao Fei's words silenced Lu Yan…
What he said made sense, and Lu Yan understood it all too well.
In the face of life and health, money was nothing.
"But, Fei… I really want a cup of it. I want to help my friend." Lu Yan leaned on his shoulder. This time, she wasn't trying to seduce him. She truly felt that Qiao Fei was in a difficult position, but she didn't want to return empty-handed.
When she thought of the man who couldn't speak, Lu Yan still hoped that she could cure him.
