2. Cold (above)
On the afternoon of October 13, the fourth day of Smith's admission, Zhu Tong appeared again in front of the hospital bed.
Smith is awake now, and there are two more people in the ward.
One is a doctor, Dr. Brown, a urologist from the United Kingdom.
The other had taken the little liar's hand, tightly; It was a kind-faced white man with a cautious smile in his eyes.
"Mr. Li, thank you for everything."
"Who are you?" Zhu Tong asked suspiciously, he only knew that a doctor had come; This person...... He has a similar demeanor to Lan Zhanjiang, more of the same taste as Smith, his hands are warm, and the ring on his ring finger is ...... Well, he's supposed to be the guy behind Smith.
"You can call me Carl, Kamlaire. Schwartz; My friends call me Carl, and I love it when people call me Carl. Smith is my friend, and he calls me Carl. I heard that he had an accident, and as a friend, I was always worried. When I met Mr. Lee, I knew that Smith was lucky. What do you say? Dr. Brown. "Carl had just arrived at the Marine Hospital, and he hadn't had time to talk to Smith yet; But obviously, he was more interested in Zhu Tong.
The little liar never thinks that the friend of his enemy is his opponent, and in the face of Karl's gentleman's warm smile, the instinct he has cultivated since childhood tells him that Karl must know something, this man is more cunning than Smith, and he is a difficult enemy to deal with.
"Of course." The doctor held a pile of case data to Smith optimistically congratulated, praised Dr. Lee's method as the most effective, and said that it would be difficult to achieve the current results if he treated it himself.
Dr. Brown then began to discuss his condition with Dr. Lee, asking a series of questions about Smith's case. Zhu Tong was completely unprepared for such an exchange, and the officials of the emergency team around him could not be too cold, so he had to follow Dr. Brown to the doctor's office. There is the director of the urology department of the Ocean Hospital, there is professional imaging equipment, and it is a suitable place for communication.
The door closed, and Carl sat down at Smith's bed, looking at him lovingly.
"Lucky for you, Watson, it's still possible to have full sexual function; But aren't you scared? β
"Why are you afraid? I've never been afraid of assumptions. Smith smirked, proud of his health. Uncle Karl, don't worry about my health, he doesn't dare to hurt me, don't forget, they owe us a favor. β
"That's what I'm here for, Carl, no, there's no favor anymore, you're his patient now." Carl kept a loving smile, and a cold wind rose behind Smith, and Carl's "kindness" made him a little worried.
"Why? Uncle Carl, what do you mean by no? Without that amulet, Smith knew what it meant to be "patient," especially as Mr. Lee's patient, which was synonymous with an uncertain "disaster."
"Watson, it's not that bad, I've got Dr. Brown here, and he'll monitor everything here until you're well and discharged. No thanks, this is what I should do. β
His face turned pale in an instant, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Can you tell me the reason?" β
"You should know that there's nothing to hide." Carl leaned closer, stroking Smith's ringed hand; "Three days ago, we reached a consensus with the Bluestone and Ichi consortium to invest in the purchase of a 57% stake in the Australian MT shipping company, and this morning, just an hour before I left for Shanghai, I came to see our hero for the first time. It's a big deal, thanks to you, Watson. The Commission is satisfied with this, and conservatively estimates that we will receive a return of $500 million from this investment. β
"You betrayed me." Smith squeezed a sentence out of his throat.
Smith was well aware that in the days of his injury, Carl had been victorious on another battlefield, taking control of MT Shipping with the help of Bluestone and the promises of the Iike consortium.
According to the agreement, the Iike consortium will transfer the entire Fukui shipbuilding company to MT Shipbuilding, and Karl wants to indirectly control Fuhua Shipbuilding City in Shanghai by controlling the shares of MT shipbuilding. And he, the mastermind and initiator of this plan, is now a pitiful victim.
The so-called medical team brought by Dr. Brown is the committee's reward for him. But Dr. Brown has already said that he admires Dr. Lee's early treatment and is not prepared to take over Smith's later treatment, and he does not want to take any risks out of humanitarianism.
There is nothing Smith can do about such an outcome, it is a cruel world, everything is based on profit, and if it were Carl, he would have made the same choice. After all, the future of Fuhua Shipbuilding City can be imagined by everyone, and it is definitely an investment with huge returns.
The question is, what does he do? The attitude of this doctor, named Li Xiang, has shown that he knows everything he does; If he didn't have the amulet, he would ...... even if he didn't want his own life.
Thinking of this, Smith's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Carl: "You...... You're going to kill me, God, you're going to forsake me. β
"No, we're working on it, everybody is working on it. You have done well in Shanghai, and the committee will not give up on any of your friends easily; Soon, maybe just today, there will be friends who will care about your health. China is a wonderful place, they value friendship, and the committee will use all that friendship to support you. Dr. Lee, a very powerful young man, he is very smart. I once reminded you that you can't be too presumptuous in China, we are here to seek friendship, we need to make more friends, and now you should know his strong core? Watson, my purpose this time is twofold, the most important one is to do everything possible to relieve Dr. Lee's hostility towards you. Most likely, he will be our partner. Blue Stone will not be willing to be expelled from the table, this Doctor Li is a pawn they have planted, they may let him come forward, besides, he is very influential to Miss Yukimi Iike and Mr. Xuyang Wada. β
Since Carl said this, most of the resentment in Smith's heart dissipated, and he knew the energy of the committee, and there would definitely be more influential people to come forward.
"Dr. Li is influential on Miss Xuemei, and between Tian Xuyang and him, it is very delicate. Just Carl, do you think he's going to do that? Smith's eyes flashed the smile lines on the corners of Zhu Tong's mouth, if this person wants to kill him, in Shanghai and in China, no one can stop him; Smith wasn't sure if it was his delusion.
"Watson, you're still young, energetic, and have a good sense of smell; But lack of experience. I would like to convey to you two words first, Mr. Director, let me remind you that China's development has broken many traditional rules of the game in economics and finance, and if you want to do business in this place, you must put aside all the past experience and start from scratch and learn everything in China. You're going to be on bed rest lately, so think about these two sentences. Oh, speaking of your injuries this time, ostensibly by a Chinese mob, but when we carefully analyze the whole process of the whole incident, we find that the key to driving the matter lies with two people. β
"Who?" The director is a mysterious figure, and most of the decisions within the committee come from the research institute under the director's leadership. The reason why Smith didn't show a trace was to hide the ecstasy in his heart, and he could be valued by the director, and this injury was already worth it. He could hear Carl's careless jealousy.
"Matsui Heizhi and Lan Zhanjiang, they are not willing to be easily intervened by us, and take this opportunity to teach you a lesson, so the committee will do its best to rescue you. The only variable is this Dr. Lee, who might take a risk, don't you feel weird? He doesn't seem to know his true worth, and the proletarian is terrible. β
The proletarian is terrible; Smith silently reflected on what Carl really meant.
"Duncan. Is Fils safe now? Smith asked softly, just thinking that the computer expert he had hired, "Catfish Duncan", was the monitor that Carl had sent to his side.
"Fils is safe, Watson, don't you feel that our opponent is not easy? Strange East, Strange China. Kalmo held the crocodile ring, worried with Smith.
"Uncle Carl, what should I do now?"
"I'm observing, Watson, you're dangerous, you may not yet imagine how dangerous; If you don't pay attention, you will return to the arms of God. β
"Shanghai is a place where there are laws, Carl ......." Smith didn't seem to believe it, but Carl's look wasn't alarmist.
"Watson, we are the ones who walk on the edge of the law, and our opponent is Hermes on the back side of the law. Most of the inevitability is accidental, and in Japan, you have caused a lot of damage to him, and this can be said to be accidental, and everyone can explain it very well. Stupidly, why did you take that jade seal from him? He won't let you go, and the director believes that you have a 70% chance of paying with your life for it. That jade seal is related to an ancient treasure, and you shouldn't rush into this vortex. β
Carl's tone was calm, and the more Smith listened, the more frightened he became; Until now, he was still full of doubts about the process of getting the plum blossom jade seal at auction, and he thought that he had been forced in, not into the whirlpool of treasure hunting as Carl said. However, everyone believed what they saw, and no one would believe his explanation, including the Uncle Carl in front of him.
Hermes was a cunning, insidious, and shameless Greek god, born and cunning, the protector of merchants, full of lies and a habit of stealing; Carl believed that Dr. Lee was someone like Hermes, and that Smith's life was in danger if he believed Carl's judgment.
"Don't be too afraid, Carl, the committee has authorized me to use all means, as long as it can get you out of China safely, out of Shanghai, we can pay any price." Karl reassured Smith and frowned, "Watson, why didn't you talk about the treasure earlier?" Where is the jade seal now? β
"What does the director think about that treasure, can that jade seal save my life?" Smith was still a little selfish, and the plum blossom jade printed him more than 10 million dollars, but now for his own life, money is nothing.
