"Did the police accept the case?" Xiao Long asked Wu Chen.
"Yes. After the funeral, the police transported her husband's body to the hospital's autopsy room. The autopsy should have started now." Wu Chen leaned on Xiao Long as if he was exhausted.
"Is anyone going with you?"
"My brother-in-law went with another relative. Even though I didn't agree, they still took away my husband's body by force. Doctor, what if poison is really detected?" Wu Chen's voice sounded frightened.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible." In fact, Xiao Long could now admit that it was just cold medicine, but he felt that it was not yet time and he had to make her feel more guilty.
"Is it really okay?" Wu Chen prayed to Xiao Long for peace of mind.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you follow what I said and feed him little by little, it is absolutely impossible to detect it. Changes in internal organs caused by drugs are easily reflected in the liver. However, as long as you follow my method, even if you conduct precise examination after dissection, it will not be detected. There may be any discovery. Compared with these, your attitude is the most important. The more afraid you are, the easier it is to arouse suspicion. He is shaking your psychology first, and then testing your reaction. Cheer up, you must have confidence, so that you can resist His conspiracy." Xiao Long encouraged her.
Wu Chen must cheer up. If she breaks down, she may say something detrimental to him. Even for himself, Xiao Long must sincerely encourage Wu Chen.
The next night, Xiao Long was called out by Xia Zhifang. The two went to a small pub. I don't know why, although Xia Zhifang is not poor, he never chooses to go to those high-end bars.
Xiao Long hurried over in order to hear Xia Zhifang convey Long Zhu's reply. When Xiao Long arrived, Xia Zhifang was pouring himself a drink.
"Ah, you came so quickly!" He stared at Xiao Long next to him with sharp eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work the day before yesterday!" Xiao Long thanked him for going to Long Zhu's house.
"That's what I'm saying, she came to my house today."
"This is too fast. Did she really go to your house?" Xiao Long was surprised.
"Even though my house was very dirty, she didn't send anyone else to answer it. She knows etiquette very well."
Xiao Long couldn't wait to ask, "What did she say?"
In fact, Xiao Long is becoming more and more obsessed with the charm exuded by Long Zhu, which is exactly what Lai Qianxiu and Wu Chen lack. Proposing to Longzhu was just a temporary measure at first, but now he feels that he has truly fallen in love with her.
"You are such a fool!" Xia Zhifang said, "How can anyone answer this kind of thing right away?"
Since no answer was given, why did Long Zhu make a special trip to visit Xia Zhifang? Xiao Long thought.
"I'm only talking to you about these words." Xia Zhifang said while drinking, "To be honest, it's a pity that she is matched with you. She is beautiful, rich, and very capable. She is impeccable. Come on. When I go to my shabby room, I really feel like it's full of glory!"
This is absolutely true. Xiao Long secretly looked at Xia Zhifang, fearing that he would also fall in love with Longzhu. However, Xia Zhifang, who had always lacked confidence in women, was drinking wine expressionlessly at this moment.
"She came to my place," Xia Zhifang continued after taking a few sips of wine: "She said she wanted to seriously consider Mr. Xiao Long's request."
"Really?" Xiao Long was so excited that his heart beat faster. It seemed that she also wanted to get married.
"Don't be too happy too early." Xia Zhifang said.
"She has conditions. She knows that you are the director of the hospital, but she doesn't know your financial status, so she asked me about it."
"I see." Long Zhu's move made Xiao Long somewhat unexpected.
"She is a pragmatic person and cannot marry a man without money. She knows that her conditions are very good, so the name of a private hospital director cannot scare her. She knows very well that many large companies appear to be huge on the surface. , but in fact she is short of funds and has difficulty running her business. Therefore, we must not only pay attention to the surface, but also understand the actual situation. She will obviously suffer a loss if she marries a man without money."
"Then what did you say?" Xiao Long's heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He was afraid that Xia Zhifang would tell the truth: "That guy doesn't have a dime. The hospital is always losing money and is in debt!" No, Xiao Long He immediately rejected his idea. Since Xia Zhifang was a matchmaker, he wouldn't say that, but thinking about it, he wouldn't say anything nice for himself.
"I told her that I didn't know very well." Xia Zhifang said, "Anyway, I know you too well, so I have to be careful with what I say. I told her that although we are good friends, I don't know much about your financial situation. I don’t understand, I have to ask you before I can tell her.”
Xiao Long breathed a sigh of relief. However, you can’t escape from the monks but from the temple. What should you do in the future? If Long Zhu was told the true situation, she would definitely reject the marriage on the spot.
"Longzhu believes my words for the time being, but I have to give her an answer in two or three days." Xia Zhifang stared at Xiao Long with drunken eyes, "She has a lot of property. If you want to marry her, your assets must be at least as much as hers." It’s a good match, otherwise she will definitely not agree.”
"What can we do?" Xiao Long muttered in pain.
"According to my estimation, her net worth is at least 200 million. If you want to marry her, you must have at least 100 million in assets. Otherwise, she will feel that such a marriage is not a good match."
Xiao Long's eyes began to turn melancholy, and he fell into deep thought. An asset of 100 million is simply a fantasy. His hospital only looks like it, but in fact it is almost worthless. He had just received notice this morning that the mountain forest as collateral had been confiscated because he could not repay the loan, and the financial director had just reported to him this month's fiscal deficit.
Without Lai Qianxiu's funding, his fiscal deficit would only be more serious than it is now. Xiao Long wondered: Could it be that Longzhu already knew his financial situation, so he used his assets as an excuse to politely refuse? Xiao Long originally planned to disturb Long Zhu's mood by proposing, but it backfired and Xiao Long's mood was disturbed. In order to get Long Zhu to agree to the marriage, Xiao Long began to become anxious.
Xiao Long was never interested in women who had no money. No matter how beautiful they were, they could only act on occasion. In his opinion, although he is not rich, as long as the woman he is dating has rich wealth, he can still enjoy the joy of the love world.
When Xiao Long's father, a famous doctor, was still alive, he was favored by women, his eyesight gradually became high, and he had no interest in poor women. He believes that no matter how outstanding a woman's appearance is or how elegant her behavior is, if she has no money in her pocket, she will be poor on the inside. He especially looked down on women who pretended to be noble.
Xiao Long and Xia Zhifang said goodbye and walked out of the tavern.
When he learned that Longzhu was inquiring about his financial situation, he knew that Longzhu had the same goals as him, and she was not willing to date a man without money. Not only was Xiao Long not bored, but he felt that this move had its own rationality. He even felt that having such an idea was truly intellectual.
Xiao Long originally planned to use his usual method of conquering women to get Long Zhu to take the bait. However, since he asked her to marry, the situation has changed. One of the reasons is that Long Zhu immediately visited Xia Zhifang in person to learn about his property status. Xiao Long didn't want to lose his dignity in front of her. After all, he was also a vain person.
Xiao Long really wanted to marry this shrewd and practical woman. This was not just out of impulse, but because he suddenly felt that Long Zhu was a rare outstanding woman in the world. It's just that Xiao Long has no money and no courage to confess this fact to her. Although Xia Zhifang did not tell her the truth so that he could temporarily feel at ease, Xiao Long wanted to proudly show off his wealth to Long Zhu. However, in fact...
Thinking of this, Xiao Long felt that he should call Long Zhu and find out for himself her reaction to the proposal. Once marriage is discussed, women become extremely serious.
Xiao Long stopped the car halfway and called Longzhu's store.
"I'm Xiao Long," he asked Long Zhu directly on the other end of the phone, "Have you considered the matter I entrusted to Xia Zhifang?" When asking this, he pretended that he had not received any news from Xia Zhifang.
"Yeah." Longzhu answered in a low voice. Normally, she would act carefree, but now she is a little shy.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Xiao Long urged when Long Zhu didn't speak.
