The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 423 Six Million_1

Qi Guoyuan agreed to Li Qing’s terms almost without hesitation.

They also set a meeting place, ready to have a more detailed talk with Li Qing.

Before the ordered skewers were delivered, Li Qing casually set the location at this noodle shop.

Since it was nearing midnight and there were no other customers except their table, it wouldn’t cause any disturbance.

Qi Guoyuan arrived very quickly; in less than half an hour he had rushed over all dusty and disheveled.

When Li Qing saw this old fox again, he was shocked by his appearance.

In just a few hours, Qi Guoyuan seemed to have aged a decade or so.

His hair was in disarray, his eyes bloodshot, and his lips were so cracked they were bleeding.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Qi!" Lü Zong stood up and politely said.

Qi Guoyuan waved his hand, eyes red, and stared intently at Li Qing, "Mr. Li, I was wrong about the incident before. I am willing to accept any conditions as long as you can save them."

"I have already told you my conditions before, five million! Pay up, and save people," Li Qing said indifferently.

"I don’t mind if you retaliate afterward, but the next time, I won’t leave you this chance."

Qi Guoyuan’s expression changed slightly, and he lowered his proud head, "I am willing to add another million as a gift for your kindness, sir."

"If you want to give it, I won’t refuse, but I really can’t feel any gratitude from you," Li Qing said contemptuously. "Our relationship is nothing but a transaction, don’t bother with all that pretense, it disgusts me."

"Forget about the Underground Palace Map, I won’t give it to you again."

"Of course, I won’t stop you anymore, if anything happens, you’re on your own!"

"After all, it is your family members who will die. You even wanted to kill me, so I don’t see why I should be the saint here."

Looking terrified and eager to please, Qi Guoyuan nodded repeatedly, "We won’t touch that place again."

"Pay up; it’s getting late. I want to go back to sleep after eating," said Li Qing.

"Would you prefer a check or a transfer?" Qi Guoyuan asked very politely.

At that moment, he had lost all his earlier arrogance.

He spoke with a careful glance at Li Qing’s expression after every word.

"Bank transfer," Li Qing said, and relayed his account number to Qi Guoyuan.

Qi Guoyuan immediately took out his phone and began to operate it. After a phone call from the bank, he said, "Sir, due to the large amount, the transfer will take some time, about half an hour."

Li Qing nodded his head; half an hour was already pushing his expectations.

He originally thought that such a large sum would definitely require a lot of processes to go through.

At this time, their ordered skewers were served.

The owner looked at Qi Guoyuan, dressed to the nines and standing to the side, and said, "Take a seat, there’s a chair next to you."

"No, it’s okay, I’ll just stand. Don’t worry about me," said Qi Guoyuan.

The owner gave a strange look, seemingly puzzled by the situation.

Li Qing truly didn’t bother with Qi Guoyuan.

If he wanted to stand, then let him stand. After all, their enmity was already so substantial, there was no point in being courteous.

After the skewers arrived, he started to eat contentedly, clinking glasses with Lü Zong and Gong Ge.

However, Lü Zong and Gong Ge seemed more or less uncomfortable.

After all, the man standing beside them was someone of a rather terrifying stature.

Li Qing’s phone vibrated.

He looked at it, and it was a notification about the money being transferred.

"Your card ending in 9433 has received six million, current balance..."

Li Qing put away his phone and continued to eat.

It was only after they had finished eating and had drunk nearly enough that he stood up and asked Qi Guoyuan, "Where are the people?"

Standing so stiffly for more than half an hour was quite a torment for Qi Guoyuan, who had always been pampered.

His gaze was scattered, and looking up in a somewhat dazed manner, he asked, "What... what?"

"Where are your family members?" Li Qing asked again.

"Oh, sorry, in the hospital," Qi Guoyuan quickly replied.

"Let’s go!" Li Qing said.

"Okay, okay, I’ll drive!" Qi Guoyuan vigorously shook his head and hurriedly said.

Lü Zong and Gong Ge also followed them.

Qi Sanxian and Shi Shan Daoren were arranged to stay in their own private hospital by Qi Guoyuan.

The clean and tidy ward looked much more upscale than those in the county hospital.

Just as Li Qing was about to start healing, a bewitchingly graceful figure walked out of a ward.

"Qingzi, what are you doing here?"

Qi Mengru, dressed in a black dress, took hold of Li Qing and asked in a low voice.

"How come you’re here too?" Li Qing asked almost at the same time.

Qi Mengru glanced at Qi Guoyuan standing aside, and said with a complicated look, "Though I’m at odds with my family, I couldn’t ignore such a big incident."

The sudden appearance of Qi Mengru instantly added a layer of complications to Li Qing’s mood.

But right is right, wrong is wrong.

Qi Guoyuan wanted to flay him and interrogate him for the Underground Palace Map, even kill him; he could not afford to be merciful.

"This was my doing. Your dad paid six million to reconcile with me," Li Qing said in a low voice.

Qi Mengru glanced at Qi Guoyuan and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"He wanted to kill me, so I killed them, to give your dad a taste of being alone and helpless!" Li Qing said.

Qi Mengru’s face changed drastically, "He wanted to kill you? How could he..."

"It’s complicated, and I can’t explain it right now. I’ll explain to you later; I need to save them first," Li Qing said.

Qi Mengru bit her lip and nodded.

Li Qing stepped into Qi Sanxian’s ward, focusing his mind to communicate with the Black Arrow in his pocket.

The Black Arrow whooshed out, circling above Qi Sanxian’s head.

A glimmer of light fell and merged into Qi Sanxian’s forehead.

People have three souls and seven spirits; pinning someone with the Black Arrow meant momentarily capturing their three souls, turning them into the living dead.

As long as the seven spirits remained, they generally wouldn’t die.

However, they could easily starve to death.

Subsequently, Li Qing entered the rooms of others, following the same procedure.

"It’s done, my part is over. I hope Lü Zong will keep his word and not force me to take drastic actions," Li Qing sternly said to Qi Guoyuan, "If there’s a next time, you’ll learn what true torment is!"

"It’s... it’s all right now?" Qi Guoyuan asked in astonishment.

While Li Qing was working his magic, he had followed closely and hadn’t seen Li Qing doing anything.

He just entered each ward, then stood there for a moment.

Just like that... it was all fixed?!

"Someone should already be awake," Li Qing said, "Qi Sanpin’s recovery might take a bit longer, probably by tomorrow!"

"I... I’ll go check on Sanxian first," Qi Guoyuan said with a trembling voice.

In the ward, Qi Sanxian indeed had woken up.

Seeing Li Qing appear at the door, he suddenly snarled, "Li Qing, you bastard, I will kill you!"

Li Qing glanced at Qi Guoyuan, gave a chilly smile, and the Black Arrow whooshed out again.

"This, we’ll settle separately!"
