Chapter 1891 Buddha
Chapter 1891 Buddha
Li Dequan's thunderous question still echoed in the room. The man who had been restrained trembled, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a fierce determination.
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, and forced out a few words: "You...what did you say...no one instructed me...no one, Dr. Li...it was me, I got sick on my own...I heard that your medical skills are divine, so I...I came here...I was just afraid you would think I was a bad person..."
"Fear?"
Hearing such sophistry, Li Dequan sneered, his smile revealing a knowing sneer, "But I see your pulse is strong and powerful, and your strength of body and bones far surpasses that of others. Even He Dashuang and the other two couldn't hold you down! What about you?"
"You can hold your breath to fake a serious illness. When I pressed your Tian Ding acupoint just now, your muscles reacted instinctively, with a hint of resistance. Do you think I don't understand? This is the kind of reaction that only ordinary martial artists can have! Can a patient who is really sick to the point of 'evil invading the pericardium' and 'on the verge of death' have such a physique and reaction?!"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Li Dequan's gaze was piercing as he stared intently into the burly man's eyes. "I'm giving you a chance now. Say it again, who sent you? If you spout nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, the burly man considered his options, but he remained defiant: "Dr. Li... I'm just an ordinary citizen... You and your grandson are household names in Yanjing. I'm just here for a medical consultation... I've only learned a few fake medical tricks... Don't take it seriously!"
He struggled as he spoke, but Wang Defa, Yuan Zhencheng, Xu Damao, and He Dashuang held him down tightly, giving him no chance at all.
Furthermore, Li Dequan's hand, which was gripping his acupoints, seemed to have taken root, making his whole body numb and unable to muster much strength.
Li Fugui, standing nearby, was completely captivated by the sight.
He had been learning medicine from his father since childhood and knew that his father was a skilled doctor, but he had never seen his father so powerful and ruthless!
This not only honed medical skills to a divine level, but also applied medical principles and insights into the human body to real-world practice.
Precise, ruthless, and efficient!
Needless to say, he was extremely shocked. Even Wang Defa, Yuan Zhencheng, and the other four neighbors who didn't know Li Dequan were thrilled!
Their admiration for Mr. Li at this moment is as boundless as a surging river!
It turns out that the old man usually enjoys practicing slow and leisurely Tai Chi in the yard. It's not just a fancy move; it's real skill with inner strength!
And that skill of instantly defeating the enemy and seeing through the smallest details is simply divine!
"You won't say it, right?"
Seeing that the strong man was still putting up a stubborn resistance, Li Dequan said no more. His free left hand moved as fast as a ghost and suddenly pressed three times near the Tanzhong acupoint on the strong man's chest. The technique was mysterious, and the force was sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Li Fugui saw it clearly and exclaimed in surprise, "Father, this is..."
He was still filled with doubt, but immediately—
"what--"
The burly man suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream that was not human. His whole body convulsed violently as if he had been thrown into boiling oil. His eyes bulged out, and his face instantly changed from a sallow yellow to an even more terrifying purplish-red. Saliva uncontrollably flowed from the corner of his mouth!
Just as he yelled, Wang Defa suddenly grabbed a towel from the side and shoved it into the burly man's mouth, causing the earth-shattering scream to abruptly stop after only half a shout!
"hiss!"
The man's pained expression sent a chill down the spines of Xu Damao and his two companions who were holding the burly man down, and they instinctively loosened their grip slightly.
"I'll be a good boy!"
"Grandpa, your hands... are truly amazing!"
"Damn it, it hurts, it hurts so much! It hurts just watching! I'm telling you, just confess! What are you guys up to with all those crazy tricks?"
The three men immediately joined in, shouting and trying to persuade the burly man.
Li Fugui further advised, "We have no grudge against you, we just want to know who is targeting us. You are also someone's subordinate, so tell us and we won't make things difficult for you!"
The burly man gritted his teeth and glared at the people around him, clearly resigned to his fate!
"Hmph, still not talking!" Li Dequan withdrew his hand and said coldly, "This hand of mine can make your blood rush backward and cause excruciating pain to your very bones! You can endure it, so are you going to talk or not?"
Intense pain assaulted the strong man's will like a tidal wave. He was panting heavily, sweating profusely, and the fierceness in his eyes was quickly replaced by fear.
"Okay, I'll talk... I'll talk, please spare me..."
"You really are plotting something!" Yuan Zhencheng kicked him angrily.
The burly man said in a hoarse voice, "It's...it's Third Master Dog from the South City...who sent us...to find your family...that woman surnamed Mu..."
"Third Master Dog?"
Li Dequan frowned slightly; he had never heard of this name before.
When he was young, he spent some time in Yanjing, and he was familiar with all the major and minor families in the city, but he had never heard of any "Dog Third Master" or "Dog Several Masters".
Moreover, nicknames in the capital city are mostly related to one's abilities!
A skilled dog handler probably doesn't have the power to devise such a meticulous plan, even resorting to such a deadly poison as the Ice Marrow Leech!
He looked down and saw a glint of cunning and determination flash deep in the burly man's eyes.
Just as the five were pondering the name of this "Dog Third Master," the burly man's previously limp body suddenly tensed up again, and his tongue bit down hard on his back teeth with an eerie speed!
"wanna die?"
Li Dequan shouted sharply; he had been on guard against this move all along.
Almost at the very moment the other man's teeth were about to clash, he suddenly grabbed him, and his other hand shot out like lightning, his index and middle fingers precisely clamping down on the strong man's cheeks, forcing his mouth to remain open!
"Well!"
The burly man's biting motion was abruptly interrupted, and he let out a muffled groan!
Li Dequan forcefully pried open his mouth and shouted to the three stunned people beside him, "Fugui, pry open his mouth! This man has a poison sac in his mouth!"
"Father!" Li Fuqin realized, his respect and admiration for his father reaching its peak.
Good heavens! Not only is Father exceptionally strong, but he is also incredibly meticulous in his thinking!
He quickly stepped forward and forcefully pried open the strong man's teeth. Sure enough, he found a small pill sealed with beeswax in the position of the back molar!
"There is indeed something!"
Wang Defa quickly grabbed the pills and wrapped them in a towel!
He Dashuang and Yuan Zhencheng, who were standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat, and unconsciously pressed their hands even tighter.
The group of people were all shaken by the experience.
If it weren't for the old man's quick thinking, this person would have really committed suicide by poisoning himself right under their noses, which would have made things even more complicated and difficult to resolve!
With his suicide attempt ruined, despair finally appeared in the strong man's eyes. He slumped onto the door like a lump of mud, no longer even struggling.
Li Dequan released his grip on his hand, his voice icy cold.
"I see you're a real man. You're not even afraid of death, so why would you be afraid of confessing? That scoundrel Third Master didn't have the ability to pull off all this! I'll give you one last chance. Tell the truth, or I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead!"
The burly man glanced at Li Dequan, and was truly intimidated by his imposing presence. Feeling the strength of the other man's hand, he burst into tears.
"Master Li, please forgive us, it was the Buddha who sent us!"
"Buddha?"
"???"
The name exploded in the room like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
