Chapter 855 Calling Brothers
They were stopped as soon as they were allowed to pass.
It's unclear where Mr. Li got the information, but Shen Siqi's friend is a doctor from China.
The grandfather and grandson are descendants of a renowned medical family and possess exceptional medical skills.
Although he didn't believe that traditional Chinese medicine could cure his grandson, he wanted to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Mr. Li's confidant personally chased after them to persuade them to stay.
"Qiang, I heard that Master Qi's friend is a doctor. Why didn't you let Master Li know?"
“Our old man is so worried about his grandson that he can’t eat or drink. You know that.”
Ah Qiang chuckled awkwardly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you."
"The main problem is that the two doctors were in a rush this time, and I asked them, and they weren't very confident about your grandson's illness either."
Ah Qiang is good at talking; he doesn't offend anyone, and no one can find fault with him.
"Whether or not we are confident, we must see the patient first."
The confidant's smile remained unchanged, yet he still maintained a very assertive demeanor.
Sure enough, Mr. Li never yielded an inch when it came to his grandson.
Even Qi Ye's influence wasn't enough.
A-Qiang could only look at Shen Lu.
Shen Lu remained calm and composed: "Qiang had told us about your young master's situation before."
"It's not that we're unwilling to help, but the situation is really tricky and may not be able to be resolved in a short time."
"I do have a suggestion."
Mr. Li's confidant looked at Shen Lu and could tell that this young girl was the one in charge.
"What proposal?"
His trusted confidant was named Li Gan.
This person is very daring when it comes to names.
His temper was as tough as his name.
However, the old man said that they were seeking medical treatment and that people should be respected.
Therefore, he still maintained a humble attitude, as if he were seeking advice.
"We are pressed for time today and do not have time to examine the young master. Moreover, as far as I know, the medical equipment in the hospital here is relatively outdated."
"Why don't you ask Mr. Li to send the young master to China, and we can find a good hospital to give him a proper check-up?"
"We can even consult with specialists."
"We will treat him according to the prescribed methods and will absolutely not delay the young master's condition."
Li Gan's expression was not good; in his view, this was simply an excuse.
But before he could object, Shen Lu interrupted him: "Don't think I'm just placating you."
"I made this suggestion out of a sense of medical rigor and for the sake of the patients."
"Of course, you can ask us to treat the young master right now, but the medical conditions here are limited, and there aren't enough experts available for consultation."
“I heard that the young master’s condition is complicated. Since we cannot guarantee that we can cure him immediately, we must be prepared for a protracted battle.”
“We are doctors and also do medical research, so it’s impossible for us to stay here for so long.”
"Therefore, Mr. Li, please consider this carefully."
Shen Lu spoke in a very professional manner, but Li Gan said he didn't understand.
He simply dialed Mr. Li's number and asked Shen Lu to repeat what she had just said.
Mr. Li also has a doctor, so he doesn't need to distinguish whether Shen Lu's words are true or false; the doctor will help him.
"What this young lady says is also true."
"But China's medical skills have never been as good as those in Europe and America. If you are considering sending the child away, I still suggest going to the United States."
Although that's what the doctor said, everyone knows that Mr. Li has already offended all the doctors in the United States.
Whether or not they will treat his grandson is a question.
Any doctor with a bit of reputation would probably have threatened not to treat Mr. Li's grandson.
Even if Mr. Li has any problems in the future, it will be very difficult for him to get the doctors there to help.
Of course, there are still many people who love money and don't care about reputation or anything like that.
But whether those doctors are actually capable of treating the illness is another matter.
Shen Lu felt she had already given the best advice, and should just quickly tell the other party what they thought.
Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, "I would like to ask Miss Li and Dr. Li to meet my grandson first."
“If he can be cured, I will arrange for him to return to China with you.”
The people next to them actually wanted to say that it was inappropriate.
"You're making the arrangements?" Shen Lu's voice on the phone betrayed her surprise, even delight.
Although this person is not friendly with the Chinese government, it should be safer for them to make the arrangements than for them to go back on their own.
After all, he's an arms dealer, so he's quite powerful.
"I can only escort you to the Chinese border," Mr. Li said, not making any absolute statements.
"But in exchange, I hope my grandson can receive the best treatment."
Shen Lu paused for a moment: "We need to check on your grandson's condition first."
This kind of ruthless leader was unexpectedly bound by family ties.
Shen Lu wasn't afraid of going into a wolf's den.
She looked at Director Li, who patted her on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that the girl was exaggerating.
If Shen Lu agreed immediately, he even suspected that the other party just wanted to use him to return to China smoothly.
However, the other party did not agree immediately, but said that she would see the patient's condition first, which shows that she would take responsibility for what she said.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Mr. Li, on the contrary, had high expectations for her.
Shen Lu and Director Li were both forced to meet with Mr. Li.
According to the rules, bodyguards are not allowed.
But Mr. Li treated them fairly well, indicating that they could bring two people with them.
Shen Lu brought Shen Qi and Shen Jiu with her.
Why didn't they bring Director Li's experienced bodyguard, or Shen Sisheng?
It's because these two are obviously from within the system; no matter how well they disguise themselves, they're easily exposed.
Shen Qi and Shen Jiu, on the other hand, looked like reckless young men who were not afraid of tigers, and they didn't seem like people from the military.
At first glance, both of them seemed carefree and undisciplined.
As for Bai Yu and Tie Zhu, they're no good either. Although they've carried out many missions, it's best to avoid this kind of thing—running around on the territory of an arms dealer.
"I heard you also have the surname Li. Maybe we were family five hundred years ago. May I take the liberty of calling you 'brother'?"
Mr. Li treated the grandfather and grandson of the Li family with great courtesy.
Shen Lu remained very calm, standing behind Director Li like a dutiful granddaughter.
Director Li is very adept at cultivating his public persona.
"Alright, then I'll call you my worthy brother?"
Director Li scoffed inwardly, "I've never even been on friendly terms with an arms dealer."
This guy who sells weapons is definitely not a good person.
However, he hasn't had any conflict with China yet.
But whether the things he sold were actually used by Chinese people is hard to say.
Therefore, Director Li did not intend to get close to this person.
We only do transactions; there's no need to cultivate any other relationships.
"Brother, my little grandson has suffered many misfortunes since birth. If you can help me cure him, just ask for anything you need!"
"Even if you need a rocket launcher, I can get it for you!"
He actually wanted to say that there were even more advanced ones, but he was afraid that this guy was too timid.
