Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Confront Shi Hong

Shi Hong who had been imprisoned by Lei Aiguo had his attitude changed. He was not begging for Lei Aiguo’s mercy anymore like when he was first being dragged here. After staying here one night, he did a lot of thinking.

Even though Lei Aiguo finds out about the lie, he still needed his help in the end. Pharmacist Leng was his backup. Without Pharmacist Leng, Lei Aiguo would not be cured.

"What do you want to tell me?" Lei Aiguo asked calmly.

He was not agitated anymore like before.

"Lei Aiguo, you better release me if you want your mother to get cured." Shi Hong said.

Lei Aiguo did not answer it right now. He stared at Shi Hong before asking the questions.

"How much that he pay you to lie to me about my mother?" Lei Aiguo asked.

Shi Hong chuckled. "I don’t need the money. It is not important at all."

"Then, why do you betray me like that? We are friends. We have known each other since we were young." Lei Aiguo pressed the matter again.

"For the prestige. Pharmacist Leng promised me a higher position in the Pharmacist Association. If I secure an important position in the Pharmacist Association, my fame as a Pharmacist will increase. People will come over and find me. That way, I will become famous and make a lot of money." Shi Hong laughed telling Lei Aiguo the truth.

"Sorry to burst your bubble but my mother is going to heal." Lei Aiguo said.

Shi Hong laughed. He did not believe it.

"Lei Aiguo, no one could cure your mother except for Pharmacist Leng."

"Who do you think told me that my mother did not need Linglian Flower Herb for the treatment?" Lei Aiguo asked.

Shi Hong became silent. He looked at Lei Aiguo. He became agitated.

"No way... Do you find someone else? Who?" Shi Hong demanded the answer.

"You don’t need to know. The fact, my mother already gained consciousness and she also can talk to me. Within this week, she will make her recovery." Lei Aiguo sneered at Shi Hong.

"That is impossible. Only Pharmacist Leng could treat your mother." Shi Hong said.

"Pharmacist Leng is not the only talented Pharmacist in this world." Lei Aiguo said.

"Impossible!" Shi Hong shouted.

"You don’t have to worry about Pharmacist Leng. Rather yourself. Do you think your Pharmacist Leng would have time to think about you? Lei Aiguo narrowed his eyes.

Shi Hong became panicked. "Lei Aiguo, please forgive me. I don’t mean to lie to you. We have known each other for so long. You can consider that and forgive me."

"You should think that before deciding to lie to your friend. Oh... But now, you are not my friend anymore. You are just a bastard who lies to his friend for some prestige. I want to see what prestige can protect you right now." Lei Aiguo gave Shi Hong a cold smile.

"Lei Aiguo, what are you trying to do?" Shi Hong shouted

He became scared to see Lei Aiguo approaching him. He tried to move back but to no avail. He had been tied to this chair. He could not move at all.

"What are you trying to do?" Shi Hong shouted again.

"I wonder if you can be proud as a Pharmacist as you lose your cultivation base." Lei Aiguo said.

"What?" Shi Hong was shocked when he heard what Lei Aiguo wanted to do to him.

Lei Aiguo wanted to cripple him. How could he be a pharmacist without a cultivation base? He could not concoct the elixir with Qi.

"Lei Aiguo... Please... I am begging you... Don’t do it... Don’t destroy my cultivation base. I apologize for what I have done to you. I should not lie to you about your mother. Please... Don’t do it to me." Shi Hong begged for Lei Aiguo’s mercy.

He did not care about his image. He needed to beg for Lei Aiguo’s mercy. Otherwise, he would lose everything. He would not allow that to happen.

"Oh, you are not so arrogant anymore." Lei Aiguo smirked.

"I don’t dare." Shi Hong shook his head.

If he could kowtow Lei Aiguo right now, he would do it. But he was tied to the chair. He could not do it.

"No need for you to beg." Lei Aiguo smiled.

Shi Hong gained hope when he heard Lei Aiguo’s words. However, he lost hope again when Lei Aiguo stated his next sentence.

"Because I will never forgive you. You dare to play with my mother’s life." Lei Aiguo grabbed Shi Hong’s hair.

"Ahh!!!" Shi Hong shouted in pain.

Lei Aiguo was serious. Shi Hong could see the determination in Lei Aiguo’s eyes. Lei Aiguo really wanted to destroy his cultivation base. No... No... No... He did not want that.

Lei Aiguo placed his hand on Shi Hong’s head. Shi Hong was struggled. Lei Aiguo ordered some people to hold him still.

"No... No... Lei Aiguo, please don’t do it. I am sorry... I am sorry." Shi Hong shouted.

Someone blocked Shi Hong’s mouth with some rags. He begged Lei Aiguo with his eyes.

With one move, Shi Hong’s cultivation base had been destroyed. It was easy for Lei Aiguo to do so because he was much stronger than Shi Hong.

Shi Hong was silent after that. He looked like he died even though he was still alive. Well, without a cultivation base, he had basically died.
