Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 143 Do me a favor, and I'll give you money.
Lin Xin and Cui Shi returned to Liulin Village three days later. The Emperor was still waiting in the capital, and they could not linger in the village any longer.

To her surprise, Lin Duo was extremely persistent in seeking Cui Shi's help to heal her injuries. Whether it was a coincidence or someone tipped her off, they saw a large crowd gathered at the village entrance before their carriage even entered the village, all talking and looking in their direction.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted their carriage and quickly called out, and everyone turned to look.

As they got closer, a small figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and knelt down in front of the carriage with a thud. It was none other than Lin Zhi!

The young apprentice driving the carriage quickly stopped it and turned around to look at them with a troubled expression.

"Dr. Cui, please save my sister! She's dying!" Lin Zhi unleashed her ultimate move right from the start.

However, she did not expect that the phrase "Dr. Cui" would make Cui Shi's face turn completely cold. "I am not a divine doctor, nor can I cure your sister. You should find someone more skilled!"

"No, you are a miracle doctor. Only you can cure my sister. I beg you, please go and see my sister. Her wounds are festering and starting to rot. If she is not treated soon, she will really die!" Lin Zhi cried with tears streaming down her face. However, Lin Xin could see that her eyes were very cold and showed no concern for her sister. Instead, a hint of calculation flashed in them.

"As I said, I am not a miracle doctor, nor do I know how to cure diseases." Cui Shi's voice was cold and hard, causing Lin Xin to look at him with surprise. She felt that something was wrong with Cui Shi's state.

"Impossible! You can even cure Brother Meng, so why won't you cure my sister? Is it because he has power and influence, while we are just ordinary people? You actually let my sister die, you are simply unworthy of being a doctor!" Lin Zhi's voice was shrill and thin, extremely harsh.

Lin Xin had been observing her and noticed that she would glance at the crowd before speaking each time. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person wearing a straw hat standing in the crowd. His straw hat was so big that it covered most of his face, leaving only his pointed chin sticking out.

She narrowed her eyes; this person was not a villager from Liulin Village.

The person wearing the straw hat seemed to have noticed her spying. He reached out and pressed the hat down even further, then turned and left the crowd, disappearing from Lin Xin's sight around a corner.

Seeing that the man had left, Lin Zhi also stood up, glared at the carriage with hatred, and then turned and left as well.

Deep down, she was resentful. Although Lin Duo wasn't very kind to her, she was the only person in that family who shared her fate. Whenever she was asked to do those heavy chores and didn't get enough to eat, she would look at Lin Duo, who was treated the same way, and realize that she wasn't the only one being treated this way.

But now Lin Duo was lying on the bed, barely alive, her skin and flesh were starting to ulcerate, oozing red and yellow pus, and her body was burning hot. She felt a deep fear in her heart. She couldn't imagine how she would live without this person.

Just as she was filled with fear and despair, a person she had never seen before appeared in front of her. Although he had changed his clothes, Lin Zhi recognized him at a glance. This was the person who had given her the snake and asked her to place it at Lin Xin's door. However, she wisely did not say it.

"Do you know how you got to the mountains that night?" the man asked her.

Lin Zhi instinctively shook her head, but seeing the undisguised sneer in the man's eyes, she nodded again as if possessed.

"Not bad, not too stupid!" The man chuckled mockingly, pulled a silver note from his pocket, and waved it in front of her. "Little girl, do me a favor, and I'll give you silver."

Lin Zhi had never seen a banknote before, and she had rarely even seen silver. She swallowed hard, trying to keep her voice from trembling, and asked, "I don't want silver, can you take me away from here?" "Don't want silver?" the man repeated with amusement, then said in an even more mocking voice, "Little girl, you've got some nerve, daring to bargain with me! But well, that depends on your performance."

"Okay, go ahead." Although Lin Zhi knew that he was mostly fooling her, this was the only opportunity she could seize at the moment. She knew that Lin Duo would not survive, and in the future, she would be the only one left to be enslaved, hungry and cold, working tirelessly all day long, and being beaten and scolded. She felt that she could not go on living like that.

"Don't you want your sister to die? Old Master Cui used to be a very famous doctor in the capital. Go and beg him! As long as he agrees to treat your sister, you'll have completed what I asked you to do," the man said.

"What?" Lin Zhi turned her head so that the ear she could hear was facing him. "You want me to beg Old Cui to save my sister? Can he cure my sister?"

"Tch," the man scoffed, "Whether he can be cured or not is not important. The key thing is that what I asked you to do is to make him agree to treat your sister."

"Why?" Lin Zhi asked, suddenly realizing that this person's purpose was not to cure her sister, but to get Old Cui to treat her.

The man's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and grabbed her neck, his voice turning cold. "Do whatever I tell you to do. If you ask one more question, I'll turn you into the one who needs medical help."

The hand on her neck tightened incessantly. Lin Zhi's face gradually flushed from pale to almost purplish-blue. She tried to slap the man's hand, but even with all her strength, it was insignificant compared to his grip. That large hand was as firm as a vise.

Just when she thought she was going to be strangled to death, the hand released her, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her throat and coughing desperately, backing away in terror by rubbing her buttocks against the ground.

"Want to know why?" the man asked coldly.

Lin Zhi shook her head desperately.

“Go ahead! I’ll be watching you from the crowd. If I walk away, you can end your performance. Remember, don’t do anything unnecessary!” The man suddenly bent down, bringing his face close to hers, and said in a sinister tone, “If you ruin my plans, think back to that wonderful feeling you just had!”

After saying that, the man smiled at her again, turned around and left.

Only when she could no longer see his back did Lin Zhi dare to exhale the breath that had been held in her chest for so long.

Then came the scene where she intercepted Cui Shi's carriage at the village entrance.

Lin Zhi understood that the man's words about taking her away were just a joke, and that he would not take her away regardless of whether she could do what he asked of her.

But at the same time, she also understood that the person was on the opposite side of Cui Shi and the others. If she was not on the same side as Cui Shi, then she would definitely not be on the same side as Lin Xin either. And her actions would definitely upset Lin Xin, and that was enough.

She'll definitely be living in the mud from now on, so why should Lin Xin be able to be glamorous and high above everyone else?
While her actions may not drag her into the mire, they can at least smear some mud on her!
