When it comes to acupuncture, Li Shenzhi's heartbeat can't help but quicken.

But he concealed it very well and no one noticed anything unusual.

"Yeah, I did figure it out."

He followed Gu Ranle's words with a relaxed tone.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of joking, "Then we have to make it clear in advance. If something goes wrong, you can't blame me and let me be responsible for you."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Shenzhi's face disappeared instantly.

He snorted coldly, "I agree to let you practice, but you don't want to take responsibility for your actions, Miss Gu, you can't bully disabled people like this. It's hard for a disabled person like me to find a wife, but at least I still have a good-looking face, so it's not completely hopeless. If you stab me into an ugly freak with a crooked mouth and eyes, then there will be no hope at all."

Gu Ranle rolled her eyes at him when she heard that.

You bastard, if I fail, it won’t be as simple as having a crooked mouth and eyes, I will make sure you die.

She turned around and walked briskly into the house.

"Auntie Wang, is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

"It's already been prepared. Miss, please go to the dining room and wait for a while. I'll serve the food right away."

Gu Ranle and Li Shenzhi arrived at the restaurant one after another.

Ling Chong pushed Li Shenzhi to the dining table, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

He and Wang Ma quickly put a sumptuous breakfast on the table and settled Li Shenzhi down.

Afterwards, the two of them came to the yard to unload the house.

"Mother Wang, your eldest daughter has invested a huge sum of money!"

Ling Chong's heart bleeds when he thinks of the "tip" he lost last night.

These mobile houses also reflect his hard work!

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma sighed, tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes:

"That's right! My eldest daughter is kind-hearted and compassionate. She always thinks about us workers and would rather save money than let us workers suffer. Last night she specifically ordered to start eating vegetarian and use the money saved to subsidize various expenses at home. You know, she used to love meat, but now she has given up even her favorite meat for this family."

When talking about this, Wang Ma's eyes became red and her voice choked with sobs.

"This time, my family suffered heavy losses. The initial estimate is that the loss is over 10 million. More than 100 people are now staying in the hospital. The daily hospitalization fee is more than 100,000, not to mention the subsequent compensation and renovation costs. The family is already short of funds."

As he said this, he wiped away his tears.

"As you know, my eldest daughter has almost exhausted her savings in the pursuit of her uncle's nephew. Now the only things that can be sold, besides this house, are the dozens of cars in the garage. This morning, the eldest daughter asked Lao Zhao to contact the buyer to see if it can be sold for emergency use."

As Ling Chong listened, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Dozens of cars?

Are you sure you're just crying and not showing off?

Those are all super luxury cars, any one of them can be sold at a sky-high price, and they are in great demand even in the second-hand market.

"These mobile homes I bought today are estimated to cost several million. Sigh, I really have no money left." Mother Wang sighed and continued to play the victim.

Ling Chong frowned: "You don't understand this, it doesn't cost that much. As far as I know, a house like this only costs tens of thousands of yuan."

When Wang Ma heard this, her voice immediately rose. "How can it be as cheap as you say! These days, a pair of shoes costs thousands of dollars, not to mention a house! You get what you pay for. My eldest daughter buys the best. Each house costs hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Ling Chong was too lazy to argue with her about how much money was spent. It wasn't his money anyway, so there was no point in arguing about it.

He agreed, "Well, I'm too ignorant. But you know what, your eldest daughter is really nice to you guys."

"That's natural!"

Mother Wang snorted coldly and turned back to the house.

It's like playing the lute to a cow, what a waste of time!

In the restaurant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense because of Li Shenzhi's words.

Gu Ranle slowly raised her head from the bowl of porridge, half-closed her eyes, with a complex look in her eyes, mixed with a hint of imperceptible nervousness, and looked at Li Shenzhi opposite her.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Li Shenzhi put down the spoon, his expression serious and earnest, "I said, the person who gave me acupuncture last night was not Song Yu."

There was no doubt in his tone, only certainty.

"..."

Gu Ranle's heart tightened, and he secretly wondered how to respond.

At this moment, should she open her mouth to make some excuses?

However, Li Shenzhi didn't even give her a chance to speak.

She opened her mouth but he got there first.

"Song Yu claimed that he had learned the acupuncture techniques from a medical notebook without a teacher. I don't believe a word of this."

Gu Ranle drank some porridge to calm down, trying to calm the waves in her heart, and then asked tentatively: "Do you think Uncle Song is lying?"

"Yes." Li Shenzhi's answer was brief and powerful. He looked into Gu Ranle's eyes and pleaded in his voice, "So, I hope you can help me find out who gave me the acupuncture last night."

Gu Ranle pursed her lips lightly, and after a few seconds, the corners of her lips curled up, and a cunning spark suddenly jumped in her eyes, like a cat blinking quietly in the dark night, revealing a hint of playfulness and alertness.

She spoke slowly, her voice tinged with laughter.

"Tell me, is there a possibility that that person is me?"

She deliberately dragged out her voice, observing Li Shenzhi's reaction.

"you?"

When Li Shenzhi heard this, a faint yet slightly sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Ranle," he spoke slowly, each word seemed to be carefully crafted, carrying a weight that could not be ignored, "I am serious."

Gu Ranle raised her beautiful eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in her tone.

"Do you think I'm kidding you? There were only you, me and Uncle Song in the room last night. If Uncle Song wasn't the one who gave the acupuncture, then who else could it be besides me?"

"It can't be you!"

Li Shenzhi's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an almost paranoid persistence.

"The Song Yu from last night must have been a fake!"

"..."

"Didn't you notice that he hardly spoke a word after entering the room? He was afraid of being discovered."

"..."

Gu Ranle was quite speechless.

He simply lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of porridge.

Then he sighed and said, "Aunt, should I say that you have a keen insight? Or that you have an overly rich imagination?"

"I admit that Uncle Song was indeed quieter than usual last night, but what does that mean? Maybe he was just tired."

"Okay, even if what you said is true, then tell me, why did that person pretend to be Uncle Song? Was he trying to hide his incompetence? Was he afraid that you would know that he was not Uncle Song and then give him a high consultation fee? Was he too rich to bear the burden?"
