Chapter 252: Feeling Guilty [13th, 5 updates]
"Of course I'll sign!"
Xu Hao, with a grand gesture, directly signed his name on it.
Without any hesitation!
Zhou Jiandong burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Good! How refreshing! Xu Hao, you can now treat my older brother freely! No one will stop you!"
Xu Hao gave him a deep look and said, "Don't worry, I'll satisfy you."
Zhou Jiandong scorned inwardly—how could Xu Hao possibly cure Zhou Changcun?!
It was absolutely impossible!
Director You followed Xu Hao to the bedside, feeling anxious yet filled with gratitude toward Xu Hao, whether the treatment would be successful or not, Xu Hao had helped him.
Originally, Xu Hao wouldn't have been involved at all, but he had stepped in righteously and even offended Old Second Zhou. If he couldn't cure Zhou Changcun, that would mean offending the entire Zhou family!
Xu Hao pulled out a small bottle of cosmetics and said, "Our group's cosmetics have miraculous effects: they can beautify the skin and remove both new and old scars. I think we should set up a medication division—this way, we can have one part for medical drugs and another for beauty products, making the functions clearer."
Zhou An said unpleasantly, "Treat your illness. Where's all this nonsense coming from? I don't even know if you're here to treat the disease or to peddle products..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Hao suddenly tore off a small piece of Zhou Changcun's bandage and flung it out.
A piece of bandage instantly stuck to Zhou An's mouth, as if glued on by strong adhesive, and no matter how much he scratched, he couldn't peel it off.
A sinister expression briefly crossed Zhou Jiandong's face—Xu Hao was still the same person, always ready to act rashly, and that hadn't changed at all.
Such a man was undoubtedly a disruptor for those who only wanted to scheme and strategize.
It was necessary to unite with others to eliminate this unstable factor!
Lei Qianjue was overjoyed—his master's cultivation had become even more profound. Just from this move alone, it could be guessed that Xu Hao's strength was on the verge of reaching the Grandmaster Level!
Xu Hao handed the bottle to Director You and said, "Director You, apply this medicinal powder evenly on the Patriarch of the Zhou family's body—do not wrap it with bandages, and you will see effects within three minutes."
Director You was excited; if this bottle of medicinal powder really had miraculous effects, it would be worth a fortune!
And Xu Hao had just casually tossed it into his hands, showing such trust—slowly, he unwound all the bandages on Zhou Changcun and began evenly applying the medicinal powder.
Although the flesh that had started to rot looked extremely disgusting, as one with a doctor's conscience, Director You still endured the unpleasant smell and patiently applied the powder.
Xu Hao sat aside, holding his breath and silently cultivating, not wishing to disturb Lei Qianjue, who sat beside him like a primary school student.
Although Zhou Jiandong extremely disliked the foul smell, he did not leave as leaving might cause tongues to wag.
After Director You finished applying the powder, he continuously watched without shifting his gaze.
Within a minute, he exclaimed in astonishment, "It's really working! It's really working! This is truly miraculous!"
Zhou Jiandong was the first to dash over, followed by everyone else, and they bent down to see Zhou Changcun lying on the hospital bed.
Originally, the flesh on Zhou Changcun's body had begun to decay, but now they were amazed to find that the decay had stopped!
This was simply unbelievable!
Zhou Jiandong's expression was constantly changing—he didn't know if allowing the situation to continue in this manner, Zhou Changcun might actually fully recover, but this was definitely not the outcome he wanted!
He knew Lei Qianjue couldn't cure Zhou Changcun, which is why he had asked Lei Qianjue to treat the illness—doing so could absolve him of the accusation of framing Zhou Changcun.
As someone who would be mingling in high society for years to come, reputation was extremely important.
If he couldn't clear his name, even if he became the Family Head of the Zhou family, others wouldn't trust him, and his actions would always be restricted.
Thus, seeing that Xu Hao's medicine was actually effective, he panicked.
Suddenly, Xu Hao stood next to Zhou Jiandong and smiled faintly, "Old Second Zhou, why are you sweating from your back?"
Zhou Jiandong immediately turned his head towards Xu Hao and said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
Xu Hao spoke faintly, "Curing the Patriarch of the Zhou family is actually just a matter of minutes for me, but since he and I are not acquainted, I only used the simplest method. Just politely clear Director You of his accusation and reinstate his original position."
"And then..." Zhou Jiandong, seeing there was still room to negotiate, immediately asked.
"And then… it depends on my mood."
Xu Hao's eyes were still fixed on Zhou Changcun, making him feel nervous.
Xu Hao and Zhou Jiandong's discussion had been overheard by him, and although he thought Xu Hao's action of blackmailing Zhou Jiandong was somewhat shameless at this moment, he also felt enormously satisfied.
But intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed at first glance—Xu Hao's gaze seemed to be conveying something more.
