Chapter 1188 Cheating
Situ Hong frowned and tapped his back. "It seems... to be this spot. It hurt so much back then that I almost cried."
"That's the 'Shenshu' acupoint!"
Jiang Xiaochuan emphasized, "The Shenshu acupoint governs the essence of the kidneys. You've been drinking excessive amounts of medicinal wine for a long time, and your meridians have been blocked long ago. The blow to the head helped to clear your meridians."
"Otherwise, you'd be in so much pain by now that you can't even stand up straight, and you wouldn't be standing here arguing with people, would you?"
Lao Liu couldn't help but suppress his laughter—now he realized that Jiang Xiaochuan wasn't acting crazy, but was helping him out of a predicament.
He first gave Situ Hong two electric shocks, knocking him to the ground, then pulled out a stick and started whipping him all over, not caring about anything related to kidney points.
The sixth brother slapped his thigh in agreement and shouted:
"Did you hear that? I accidentally saved your life! And you're still chasing after me? Have you no conscience?"
"I should have used more force back then, so you would remember it even better!"
Situ Hong stood there with his mouth agape, speechless for a long time, feeling that something was off but unable to put his finger on it. "You...you didn't make this up on purpose to help him, did you?"
"Intentionally helping him?"
Jiang Xiaochuan was furious. "I gave you the medicinal wine hoping you would help me promote it. If I had known you would mess things up like this, I wouldn't have given it to you. Isn't this ruining my reputation?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Hong immediately realized what was happening.
He was able to drink the medicinal wine, and he originally wanted to use its effects to help Jiang Xiaochuan promote his products. Now that he's been enlightened, his previous doubts have vanished instantly.
However, he wasn't as bad as Jiang Xiaochuan imagined.
That medicinal wine is really potent; after all these days of treatment, I only feel a little weak.
I came here to get some more spares, and also... I have something else to discuss with Jiang Xiaochuan.
In order to uphold his dignity as a man, Situ Hong immediately revealed the situation.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly laughed, "So, you've been pretty good in bed these past few days?"
“More than amazing!”
Situ Hong's eyes lit up, and his voice unconsciously rose, "Who in the industry doesn't know that I was 'not very useful' before? This time, I'm going to make sure they all know that I, Situ Hong, have regained my former glory!"
"Then it won't be long before the news of your 'regain of virility' spreads throughout the capital's entertainment circles, right?"
Jiang Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow.
"necessary!"
Situ Hong patted his chest and assured him, but when he turned to see Lao Liu, he wilted a little. "But he ruined my good time last night, so I'm afraid I'll get a new nickname..."
"Damn, you're trying to blame me, Fatty. Didn't you hear this kid say, 'Fatty saved your life? Otherwise, your thing would have been ruined long ago'?"
"So, I should thank you?!"
Situ Hongning would rather attribute the credit to Jiang Xiaochuan than acknowledge the fat man's accidental "life-saving grace".
"No need for thanks."
Seeing that the two were about to argue fiercely again, Jiang Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, fearing that Situ Hong would take it too seriously.
"But you shouldn't keep bothering Lao Liu."
"He holds grudges very long. If you keep bringing this up, what if he puts something else on you when you go to 'Heaven on Earth'? Who will you complain to then?"
"Besides, you still need me to prepare the medicine. If I get distracted because of the two of you and prepare the wrong medicine."
"For example, if you add 'croton' instead of 'cistanche,' you'll have more than just diarrhea for one night."
Upon hearing this, Situ Hong shuddered.
He didn't want to experience that feeling of having diarrhea until his legs went weak again.
Seeing that Situ Hong had lost his arrogance, Lao Liu decided to stop while he was ahead and put the Thunder Pearl back into his plain robe pocket.
He patted Situ Hong on the shoulder familiarly, the force of which was rather rough: "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Don't worry, from now on, I'll avoid you when I see you!"
Situ Hong staggered slightly from the slap, but didn't say anything. Right now, all he could think about was "kidneys" and "new drugs," and he had no intention of provoking this living ancestor.
Jiang Xiaochuan watched the two reconcile and then glanced at Situ Hong.
"Since the medicinal wine is so effective, you should strike while the iron is hot and mention it more often in brothels, so that everyone in the circle knows that you have 'regained your virility,' and ideally, everyone will want to ask for the medicinal wine but won't be able to find a way to get it."
Situ Hong was taken aback, then realized, "I get it! Wait until they're in a panic, then you can bring out the medicinal wine, and orders will be pouring in!"
"if not?"
Jiang Xiaochuan said seriously, "Do you think I'm prescribing medicine for you for nothing? We're in a mutually beneficial relationship."
"I'll give you a dose of medicine to strengthen your body and replenish your vital energy later, so you can fight a longer battle."
Upon hearing this, Situ Hong grinned from ear to ear. Life is only 30,000 days long, and there are still plenty of beauties he hasn't experienced yet!
Now that Jiang Xiaochuan, the "Medicine God," is backing them up, can't they just do as much as they want?
"Alright, you go outside and wait a bit, I need to talk to him about something important."
Having done Lao Liu such a big favor, Jiang Xiaochuan wanted to strike while the iron was hot and have a serious talk with him.
To everyone's surprise, Situ Hong didn't move. Instead, he sat down in a chair and, unusually, adopted a serious expression. "I still have important things to say."
Jiang Xiaochuan then realized that Situ Hong's visit was not just for getting medicine.
"My dad asked me to pass on a message to you,"
Situ Hong cleared his throat. "I'd like to invite you to my home."
Jiang Xiaochuan's smile vanished instantly, and he said curtly, "I'm not going."
He knew perfectly well that ever since the press conference at Nikkawa Okazaka, Situ Zhen had been making frequent overtures, and now he was officially trying to win him over.
He didn't want to get too involved with the Situ family.
Situ Hong wasn't surprised by this answer at all; instead, he leaned closer: "I knew you wouldn't go. To be honest, my father is the kind of person who won't do anything without a profit motive; he never does anything that doesn't benefit him."
"Even though he's my father, I advise you not to go, lest you fall into his trap."
He paused, then added, "Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say he's completely inhuman, but he's certainly not one of the rare exceptions."
Jiang Xiaochuan's lips twitched upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Situ Hong to be so honest, even betraying his own father.
Do you know exactly why you wanted to see me?
Jiang Xiaochuan pressed for an answer.
Situ Hong scratched his head: "It seems to be about our ancestor. But I'm not entirely sure what exactly happened."
Jiang Xiaochuan's heart stirred. He wasn't surprised that the Situ family had an ancestor in charge.
This puzzled him, as he realized that the old man needed his help.
But then I thought about it again, which of those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years is not a man who eats people without spitting out the bones?
He absolutely will not wade into these muddy waters.
After finishing his business, Situ Hong, filled with anticipation for the new drug, eagerly took his leave.
As soon as the office door closed, Lao Liu immediately came over and mischievously bumped Jiang Xiaochuan's shoulder:
"You're quite the schemer! You're helping me mediate while simultaneously making Situ Hong owe you a favor. You've got a really clever plan!"
