"Mayor Cui, if you want my help, you first need to completely trust me. Otherwise, I can't help you."

Li Mu took a sip of tea and then spoke.

"Master Li, since I took the initiative to contact you, it's because I trust you!" Cui Zhenglin said earnestly.

"Alright, as long as you truly believe in me, everything will be fine. Here, I'll draw three talismans to ward off evil spirits. These are for you, your wife, and your daughter to remove the evil energy from your bodies. The root cause of your heart disease is this evil energy."

As Li Mu spoke, he took out the yellow paper and cinnabar he had prepared in advance from his bag and began to draw talismans.

"Mayor Cui, burn these three talismans to ashes, then mix them with pure water and drink it. That will remove the evil energy from your bodies, and your heart disease will also be cured."

After drawing the talisman, Li Mu handed it to Mayor Cui and said...

This time, he simply poured a wisp of primordial spiritual energy into the talisman ink. After the patient drank it, the primordial spiritual energy would help repair and treat Mayor Cui and his colleagues' heart conditions.

After all, even if acupuncture ultimately cures the disease, it is still the magical and powerful primordial spiritual energy that heals it.

Of course, acupuncture will be more effective and faster because it can first open up the meridians and then directly input the vital energy into the lesion through the meridians.

This method is more suitable for emergency treatment.

However, Cui Zhenglin's family members' heart conditions had not reached the point where they needed emergency treatment, so it was acceptable to introduce the spiritual energy into their bodies by taking talisman water.

"Okay. Um... Master Li, how much does one of these talismans cost?"

After taking the talisman, Cui Zhenglin asked a question.

"Mayor Cui, I've come to adjust the feng shui of your home, treat your illnesses, and resolve your troubles. I'm not doing this for money; I'm just helping my apprentice, Wang Hedong."

Li Mu said frankly.

Cui Zhenglin seemed quite surprised to hear that the master was not charging money.

This naturally made him feel that this master was even more trustworthy.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that since the other party was willing to help him so much without asking for money, it was probably not entirely out of kindness to help his disciple, but rather because he was after the power in his hands.

Cui Zhenglin, who had been in officialdom for many years, was well aware of this.

"Thank you so much, Master! Rest assured, if you can truly resolve my troubles and illness, please feel free to ask for my help in the future. As long as it's within my power, I, Cui Zhenglin, will definitely do it for you!"

Cui Zhenglin then cupped his hands in a knowing tone and said to Li Mu.

"Haha, no problem, no problem." Li Mu smiled with relief.

That's the promise he wanted from the other party.

"Master Li, about that woman... do you have any good ideas on how to deal with her?"

Cui Zhenglin asked the question that was currently giving him the biggest headache.

Worried that his son upstairs would hear, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"I've already divined this. That woman is a socialite with a messy private life, and she's very good at using her beauty to befriend powerful people. But she's also a filial daughter; she's ruthless in making money, actually to pay for her father's medical treatment."

Li Mu said.

"Oh? Is that so? I've never heard her mention it before?"

Cui Zhenglin seemed very surprised.

"The divination is not deceiving. In fact, she is not only using her beauty to blackmail you, but also your political enemy, that deputy mayor surnamed Hou. It's just that this time she was used by that Hou instead."

"Yes, that's true. I discovered her connection with that Hou Dingguang a long time ago. Master Li, so you mean, we should go straight for that woman's father?"

"That's right! As expected of a leader, you can grasp the core of the problem immediately. Since everything she did was to cure her father's illness, if we can cure her father's illness, wouldn't we completely conquer her? She has evidence of being with you, so doesn't she also have evidence of being with that man surnamed Hou? Once you have evidence of her affair with that man surnamed Hou, what are you afraid of him for? In this way, you not only get rid of the woman who is harassing you, but also get rid of your political enemy. This is called attacking the core, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Mu spoke with an air of confidence and mastery.

In fact, he had already come up with this strategy when he cast a divination to predict the predicament Cui Zhenglin was facing.

"Wow! That's truly amazing! Master, you are indeed a master! I admire you greatly! But are you confident you can cure her father's illness? That woman has gone to such lengths to amass so much money; her father's illness must be no ordinary one!"

Cui Zhenglin couldn't help but give Li Mu a thumbs-up in praise, then frowned and asked a question.

"As long as a patient has a breath left, there is no disease in the world that I cannot cure!"

Li Mu said with an air of domineering confidence.

"A master is indeed a master! Alright! Since you have so much confidence in me, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

Cui Zhenglin now completely trusts Li Mu. He was actually forced into a corner and had no other choice.

Next, Cui Zhikai helped his father swallow a talisman to ward off evil spirits. After swallowing the talisman, Cui Zhenglin indeed felt much better, as if he had drunk a bowl of the legendary holy water elixir!

This made him trust Li Mu even more.

Then, Cui Zhenglin directly arranged to meet with the woman named Zhuang Tingting, and she did not refuse.

Cui Zhenglin then led Li Mu to the entrance of a high-end teahouse.

Li Mu asked Cui Zhenglin to talk to Zhuang Tingting, while he waited in the car.

In a private booth, a glamorous woman with long blonde hair sat smoking.

This beautiful woman is Zhuang Tingting. Her looks, figure, and style perfectly embody the word "alluring".

"Boss Cui, it's really not easy to see you these days! I thought you'd forgotten about me! What's this? You didn't answer my calls before, but now you're taking the initiative to ask me out. What's going on?"

Zhuang Tingting exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke and looked at Cui Zhenglin with a dazed expression, asking him a question.

Although Cui Zhenglin felt utterly disgusted by this woman, he needed to use her now, so he had to hide his loathing and said with a smile, "I'm not available to answer the phone this morning. How could I have forgotten such a beauty as you?"

After sitting down, Cui Zhenglin poured himself some tea.

"I don't like beating around the bush. If you're not here to offer me anything, then there's no need to waste time talking. I'm not in the mood for having tea and a heart-to-heart with you."

Zhuang Tingting said it very directly.

"I also prefer to be direct. I know you're going to do everything you can to get money for your father's medical treatment, right?"

Upon hearing Cui Zhenglin's words, Zhuang Tingting's expression suddenly froze, and she stared at him, asking, "How did you know? Could it be... that you had someone investigate me?"

"I didn't realize you were such a filial daughter. Zhuang Tingting, I won't beat around the bush. I want to make a deal with you."

Cui Zhenglin stared at Zhuang Tingting and said seriously.

"A deal? What deal?"

Zhuang Tingting narrowed her big, contact-eyed eyes.

"I'll find a way to cure your father's illness. In return, you can't bother me anymore. You also have to give me those indecent photos and videos of you and Hou Dingguang."

"...Cure my father's illness? Hmph, do you even know what illness my father has?"

Zhuang Tingting asked with a sneer.

"To be honest, I know a highly skilled doctor who can cure any disease as long as a person is still breathing."

Cui Zhenglin said with a serious expression.

"Heh, a miracle doctor? A master? I didn't expect our deputy mayor to believe in those charlatans? Mayor Cui, my father has ALS! A global incurable disease. What kind of miracle doctor or master do you think could cure him?"

Zhuang Tingting smirked, thinking that Cui Zhenglin was simply delusional.
