The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 78: Consultation Fee

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Weilun, who was holding the tea, paused. Fu Yu and Fu Hong looked up in surprise.

Shen Ruofeng, his face ashen and his voice laced with anger, abruptly stood up and said, "Poisoned? What a scheming Qi family... What a scheming Qi Jinghao."

The person poisoned, Shen Xingzhou, remained calm and collected, even gracefully handing his a cup of tea with an elegant demeanor.

He drank a cup of tea and then coughed lightly again.

Fu Xiao clicked her tongue, took a silver needle from her bag, and promptly inserted it into several acupuncture points on his body.

Suddenly, Shen Xingzhou spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his coughing ceased.

After he expelled the black blood, Fu Xiao returned to her previous seat, took the tea offered by Fu Hong, and took a sip.

Shen Xingzhou calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a light smile, "Your medical skills are quite good."

Seeing the black blood he had coughed up and that his coughing had stopped, Shen Ruofeng was relieved and asked, "Xiao Xiao, is he better now?"

Fu Xiao shook her head and glanced at Shen Xingzhou calmly, "No, making him expel a mouthful of black blood only temporarily stops the coughing. The poison is still in his body."

Hearing this, Shen Ruofeng's anger gradually subsided, and he anxiously asked, "Can the poison be cured?"

Fu Xiao's expression remained indifferent as she said softly, "It's difficult to treat."

Shen Ruofeng's face turned pale, and he asked tremulously, "Difficult to treat? Does that mean it can still be treated?"

Seeing her changing expression, he hurriedly said, "Whatever medicinal herbs are needed, I will provide them. Even if it costs the family fortune, I am willing..."

Fu Xiao thought to herself, hmm... the family fortune.

How much could your family have? Do you know how precious my things are?

Just as she was about to refuse, she caught a glimpse of Fu Weilun's eye, which seemed to be urging her to help.

Seeing her silence, Shen Ruofeng thought that she might not have a solution either, and his face grew even paler as he slumped onto a chair, silent for a long time.

Shen Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged as he smiled at her, as if to comfort her, "It's alright if it can't be cured..."

"It can be treated," Fu Xiao said "But it won't be easy. The medicinal herbs needed are also very precious."

Fu Xiao looked up at Shen Xingzhou and said calmly, "Before we proceed with the treatment, we need to discuss the terms..."

Shen Xingzhou's expression was inscrutable as he nodded and asked, "Alright, what terms?"

Before she could speak, Fu Weilun said to Shen Ruofeng, "Ruofeng, let's step outside... Let them talk things over..."

After everyone left, only the two of them were left in the room.

Fu Xiao comfortably sat beside him, her mind racing with calculations. Even if she was going to help, she couldn't do it for free; she needed to get something out of it.

Seeing her remain silent, Shen Xingzhou softly inquired, "Sister, what do you want to discuss?"

Fu Xiao looked at him and said calmly,："Of course, we need to discuss the terms. Do you think I'm going to treat you for free? I'm not that saintly. And also, don't call me 'sister.'"
