Chapter 56: Chapter 56: What Are You So Proud Of?

Liu Fusheng said this and clapped his hands in the air.

Soon, several bodyguards brought over a bound woman from behind.

Wu Xia fixed his gaze and saw that it was indeed Ma Yan.

"Doctor Wu, this woman was looking for thugs in town, planning to set you up and even threaten you. I discovered it and tied her up!"

Liu Fusheng slowly stated, "Does she have a grudge against you? Don’t worry. You are the lifesaver of my daughter. Your matters are my matters. I, Liu Fusheng, will take care of it for you."

Wu Xia looked helpless.

He was wondering why there had been no news of Ma Yan for so long, thinking she might have gone back to the city. He hadn’t expected that she was caught by Liu Fusheng.

At this moment, Ma Yan’s face was full of sorrow, desperately shaking her head at Wu Xia.

Indeed, she had sought people out to intimidate Wu Xia, but that was before she had slept with Wu Xia, having fully prepared herself to threaten him.

But after she had slept with Wu Xia, where would she dare to make trouble? Wouldn’t that be asking for embarrassment?

However, as she fled in panic, she was detained by Liu Fusheng’s men as soon as she got back to the town, and was locked in a dark room.

"Doctor Wu, if it weren’t for the town being sealed off these days and some delays on my part, I would have sent her to you much earlier," Liu Fusheng said generously. "How do you want to handle her? Just say the word, and I will take action. There won’t be any trouble coming your way."

But Wu Xia clearly saw Liu Fusheng’s eyes unconsciously drifting toward the old man as he spoke, as if speaking so loudly had somehow offended the other party.

"Wealthy Liu, let her go. It’s alright!"

From the look in Ma Yan’s eyes, Wu Xia could tell that she was now terrified out of her wits. Even with ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to provoke Wu Xia again.

"Ah?"

Liu Fusheng’s eyes widened, and he felt a bit awkward for a moment.

He had intended to use this incident to foster a closer relationship, but to his surprise, Wu Xia flatly refused.

Ma Yan nodded gratefully, as if to say "thank you."

"Hehe!" Liu Fusheng laughed awkwardly. "Since Doctor Wu has said so, I can only let her go."

His face didn’t look very pleased as he immediately ordered Ma Yan’s release.

Ma Yan, overwhelmed with emotion, bowed deeply to Wu Xia and then ran off as fast as she could.

She didn’t care how far it was from here to the town; all she wanted was to get back home as quickly as possible.

Liu Fusheng, unable to sell the favor, could only resort to offering money instead.

But it wasn’t the previously agreed sum of 200,180 yuan; it was two large suitcases over twenty inches each, filled to the brim with money.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

That one suitcase held at least two million yuan, and two suitcases would then amount to four or five million.

For the people of this small mountain village, it was more money than several generations of their families could earn in total!

Wu Xia was also a bit astonished.

Liu Fusheng, being the wealthiest man in town, was rich, yes, but his total assets combined were worth maybe ten or twenty million at most.

The cash he had on hand was likely no more than five or six million.

This large sum now could only have come from those two people who carried Yin Cold Qi with them.

"Doctor Wu, here is five million yuan. You’ve saved my daughter’s life; this is what you deserve!"

Liu Fusheng came forward with his daughter, Liu Yuting: "Tingting, bow to Mr. Wu and give thanks."

Liu Yuting’s expression was unpleasant, especially when she looked at Wu Xia, with clear disgust on her face.

She vividly remembered how this rustic countryman had kissed her, and she had even grabbed his...down there.

For her, it was an utter humiliation.

But in consideration of saving face, he offered a slight bow towards Wu Xia and said softly, "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me," Wu Xia replied indifferently. "I am a doctor, saving people is my responsibility!"

A trace of cold laughter flashed in Liu Yuting’s eyes.

Wu Xia didn’t seem to mind as he took a stack of cash from his suitcase: "This is ten thousand, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Fusheng immediately nodded.

Wu Xia gave a slight smile, then took out twenty stacks, "This money is what Wealthy Liu promised my brother for going into the landslide to save people, two hundred thousand!"

"Hmm!" Liu Fusheng continued nodding and said, "At that time, the situation was critical. Your brother risked his life to go down there, even two hundred thousand is too little."

"It doesn’t matter. I was promised a certain amount, and that’s what I’ll take." Wu Xia then took out another stack, pulled out two hundred from it, and then took out twenty from his own pocket and put it back.

"This is my treatment fee, one hundred and eighty."

Wu Xia placed the two hundred and the two hundred thousand together. "This is what I’m owed. The rest is too valuable. Wealthy Liu, please take it back!"

Boom!

"What?"

Everyone’s eyes widened, incredulously staring at Wu Xia.

This was five million!

Forget about the countryside, even in the city, looking at the whole country, that amount would make one a small tycoon.

But Wu Xia had flatly refused?

"Hey, what do you mean? Are you saying it’s too little?"

Liu Yuting asked coldly, "Just take what you’re given. Don’t be ungrateful."

Wu Xia’s eyebrows raised slightly as he counter-asked, "Why should I take it?"

At first, he really wanted to give Liu Fusheng some face and do him a favor, but with Liu Fusheng coming today, even if it had been two million, Wu Xia would have taken it without hesitation.

But it was five million!

Especially with two strangers carrying a sense of crisis around them.

This made Wu Xia more cautious.

It’s easy to take the money, but what then?

On the side, Mrs. Lin rushed over and tugged vigorously at Wu Xia: "Xia, this is the good intention of Wealthy Liu. Just accept it. Don’t make everyone unhappy."

As she spoke, she reached out unceremoniously to take the money.

"Auntie, this is your dowry. Just take what belongs to you. What’s not yours, even if you take it, won’t warm your heart!"

Wu Xia handed the two hundred thousand to Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin was incredibly nervous, wiped her hands and hurriedly took it, yet her eyes still longingly looked at the few million.

"What do you mean? You think we’re going to cheat you?" Liu Yuting shouted in anger, "Who do you think you are? What can we cheat from you?"

"Don’t talk in such a weird tone. Isn’t it just saving me? I’m grateful to you. Just say how much you want directly!"

"Tingting, watch how you speak!" Liu Fusheng came to his senses, immediately scolded the angry Liu Yuting, then turned his gaze towards an elder behind him as if seeking his opinion.

The elder nodded slightly, and only then did Liu Fusheng speak cheerfully, "Doctor Wu, Tingting has been spoiled since she was young and might be blunt, but don’t take it to heart."

"Actually, this sum isn’t just to thank you for the life-saving favor last time, but also to make you a proposal."

"I would like to bring you into the Liu Family as my son-in-law!"

Boom!

"What?"
