Chapter 29 Making a Choice

1856 Words
Li Ping'an took a deep breath to calm himself down and then answered the call. The low and muffled voice of Jiang Zhiyan quickly sounded from the communication gadget, "Li, I'm sorry to tell you that we don't have specific information on the stimulating Energy Drop, a kind of new product. So, it is hard for us to test its detailed materials in a short time." Li Ping'an didn't fully hear what Jiang Zhiyan had said. "After a long time of waiting, we still failed, didn't we?" Li Ping'an had never been ashamed and irritated since he was a child. He was clenching his fists and trembling all over with anger. What was the reality? What did the phrase "Calling a stag a horse" mean? What was the fact that someone called black white? Why did people force an honest person to do something dishonest? At this moment, Li Ping'an completely understood them. Officials in Lanhai City acknowledged that he didn't break any rules. However. Liu Qingyao meddled in the matter, and she was backed by a member of the Wan Family who was beyond the Awakening Stage. Under the pressure of the Wan Family, rules and laws were bullsh*t. "Ping'an, calm down. We have not been in the worst situation yet." Ms. Hong was also scared. Despite her rich experience, she didn't know what she should do now. The experts invited by Jiang Zhiyan could not test something illegal in the stimulating Energy Drop, so the Liu Family would accuse Li Ping'an of bodily harm. Liu Qingyun was in a critical condition, so it was unavoidable that Li Ping'an would be given a life sentence even if he might not be put to death. Ms. Hong gripped Li Ping'an's big hand with her small one. At this time, she didn't know how to comfort Li Ping'an but tried to warm the cockles of his heart with her body language. Li Ping'an cooled down, holding the hand of Ms. Hong, and replied, "Ms. Hong, don't worry. We expected the result earlier, right?" "Ping'an." Ms. Hong wanted to say something, but Li Ping'an shook his head and said, "Ms. Hong, let me stay alone for a while, please." Ms. Hong was still worried about Li Ping'an, but faced with his determined eyesight, she could only let go of his hand. With her mouth biting and her eyes filled with tears, she went to the room inside. Li Ping'an took a few deep breaths trying to calm himself down. It was futile to complain or regret when something bad had happened. If someone wanted to solve the problem, he should face it first. Supported by Wan Family, Liu Family controlled the situation and wanted to call black white. Weak as Li Ping'an was, he would not give up easily. It was not his style. A clay figure had its own temper. So, as a man, how could Li Ping'an be a coward? "Wan Family and Liu Family, humph, good! Someone is beyond the Awakening Stage, so what? Will I be bullied and insulted by you at random?" Li Ping'an made a decision secretly. The wounds on his back were serious but cured in time, so he would recover soon after a few days of rest. Liu Family and Wan Family now were in control of everything, but even if they pretended to test the stimulating Nutrition Drop taken by Liu Qingyun, it would take at least two days. Moreover, he was lying on the bed in the hospital, so police would not arrest him so quickly. That was to say, Li Ping'an had at least one day to leave Lanhai City, getting rid of the invisible shackles around him. When he thought about how to tell Ms. Hong that he should be discharged from the hospital right now, Jiang Zhiyan's tone got urgent over the phone. "Hello, hello, Li. Are you there?" Li Ping'an tried to calm down. On his face was determination, with his eyes sharper and firmer. "Zhiyan, go on. I'm here." "Ah." At the other end, Jiang Zhiyan was stunned. Obviously, she felt guilty. After a few seconds, she explained, "Li, Brother Ping'an, I was kidding just now. The stimulating Energy Drop taken by Liu Qingyun is indeed a kind of new product. Fortunately, an expert from Jiang Group was back from Miguo after training. So, he accidentally knew this new stimulating Energy Drop." "Now, we nearly make sure that there are illegal materials in it. Even if Liu Family were the most powerful, they would not change the result. Brother Ping'an, wait a minute, I'm going to see you now. Sorry, it's my fault. I make an apology to you." "Bang." Jiang Zhiyan rang off, but Li Ping'an could hear her heavy breathing when she was running before she rang off. Li Ping'an now looked extremely sullen. What did Jiang Zhiyan do just now? How could this crazy lady joke with him like that? Instantly, Li Ping'an wanted to beat her and make her think about why flowers were red. Quickly, he closed his eyes. Even if Jiang Zhiyan solved the problem and suppressed Liu Family, Liu Family would not fall down when they were supported by Wan Family. Li Ping'an was not powerful, but if Jiang Zhiyan offended Wan Family, Jiang Group would also run into trouble. What did a strong man beyond the Awakening Stage mean? The older generations of Jiang Zhiyan feared Wan Family. What was more, Jiang Zhiyan could only protect him temporarily, but she could not do it all her life. With the support of the Wan Family, it would be easy for Liu Family to come back. "Only bravery wins." Li Ping'an slowly opened his eyes, and they were sharper than before. A few minutes later, Jiang Zhiyan rushed to the ward. She saw Li Ping'an, who had pulled out the line transferring nutrition fluid, sit on the bed and look at her quietly. "Li, Brother Ping'an, sorry." She cried. She glared at the peaceful young man and didn't know what she should do. Now, she realized what the jokes made by her meant to him. If the young man scolded or beat her like before, even beat her hip, she could accept that, but she didn't expect that he was so peaceful now. Li Ping'an said with a smile, "What's up? Why are you crying? It's not your style." "Brother Ping'an, it's my fault. It's really my fault. Sorry, could you please forgive me? Please! I'm really wrong, and I will not do that again." Faced with a smile on the young man's face, the young woman cried with fear. She vaguely realized that the young man had changed. It was hard to describe that feeling. The girl could clearly realize she neither would be close to him like before nor would have fun with him or bicker about trivia. Ms. Hong originally watched over the situation in the bedroom, but she didn't expect the thing would be like this. She knew that she shouldn't appear now. The misunderstanding between the young man and the young woman could only be solved by them. Li Ping'an gave the young woman some tissues and said with a smile, "Jiang Zhiyan, don't cry. You need not feel sorry for me. On the contrary, I should say thanks to you. Zhiyan, honestly, thank you. Thanks for what you have done for me. I will remember your favor all the time." "All right, the matter has been solved. Let's celebrate it. I'm hungry now, so come to cook a meal, please." The young woman made sure that Li Ping'an had been calm, and his eyesight was normal. Now she relaxed but scolded him, "Li Ping'an, you b*st*rd. You scared me. Are you a man? Why are you so unkind? Can't I make a joke with you?" When she spoke this, she ran to the kitchen to make a meal. ... The experts of Jiang Family made sure that there were illegal parts in the stimulating Energy Drop taken by Liu Qingyun, so even if Wan Family helped him, Liu Family must pay the price for it. The testing result would be known later today. Because of this matter, Liu Family was fined billions of yuan by the official and also forced to leave Lanhai City, and even not allowed to step into this city again. Li Ping'an and Ms. Hong were filled up by the dinner made by Jiang Zhiyan. After dinner, they discussed the following steps about this matter. At night, Li Ping'an left the hospital. Ms. Hong would erase her connection with Li Ping'an by various methods. It protected not only herself but also Li Ping'an. As the saying went, "Pull out the r****h and bring out the mud." They didn't want to see the result like that. Ms. Hong had been in Lanhai City for many years, so she was confident about it. Li Ping'an had owed Ms. Hong and Jiang Zhiyan a favor, but he respectively asked them for ten bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop, without regarding them as outsiders. When he went back home, Li Ping'an locked the door. Looking at twenty bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop in front of him, Li Ping'an had a pair of sharper eyes. He had never been eager to power like this before. With the previous experience, he would not take a bold try. Earlier, he had taken eight bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop at once. Although he had made great progress, he didn't adapt to and control the power up till now. "I remember that after I fought with Sanggou and Yinya, I recovered quickly, thanks to the strength of the mysterious stone. Now, is it also valuable?" Li Ping'an took a bottle of Nutrition Drop, looking at the holy purple with his narrowed eyes. He wanted to go home from the hospital and didn't test cell viability because he pinned his hopes on the mysterious stone. "However, my two previous wounds were not serious. This time, I'm seriously hurt." "Forget it. The body is basic. Now I have twenty bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop, which should be enough." Li Ping'an gingerly placed this bottle of five-star Nutrition Drop on his chest. Buzz. Instantly, the gold light shone. A ray of gold light shot from the stone trace on the scar of the chest of Li Ping'an. Like a hungry ghoul, it absorbed the five-star Nutrition Drop in the hand of Li Ping'an in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the familiar searing feeling suddenly appeared on the wounded back of Li Ping'an. "Sh*t! Take it easy. Are you so hungry?" Even if Li Ping'an was prepared mentally, he was shocked and recovered after a few moments. The searing pain on his back made Li Ping'an calm and relaxed. His assumption was right. With the help of the mysterious stone, his wound was healed. Li Ping'an was happy only for a few moments because he soon found that the searing pain on her back disappeared. The strength of one bottle of five-star Nutrition Drop was not enough.
