Seeing Li Yidao’s attitude, the secretary was completely stunned.
She was the CEO’s secretary of Qianhong Group!
And the person beside her was the CEO!
The CEO personally came to find you, and yet you have this attitude?
Li Yidao’s impatient expression even made her question her life choices.
Didn’t this man know that if he made the CEO happy, he wouldn’t have to run this funeral shop anymore?
But seeing Li Yidao already preparing to close the door, the CEO beside her became anxious.
Before his secretary could speak, he quickly stepped forward and said, “Wait!” The young CEO had figured it out.
If he continued to act high and mighty, Li Yidao might really kick them out.
So, he gritted his teeth and directly stated their purpose.
“I… I want you to save my grandfather!”
Hearing the CEO’s words, Li Yidao stopped in his tracks and furrowed his brow.
“Save your grandfather? I’m sorry, I’m not specialized in saving people.”
It was not that he couldn’t save people, but he didn’t want to!
If it were someone like Zhang Chaoyang, he wouldn’t hesitate!
However, this Qian family was not that clean!
It was impossible for him to waste his life to save such a person.
Not even if he had many lives!
After thinking for a moment, he added, “This is not a hospital. If you want to save someone, find a doctor. I run a funeral shop, so please excuse me.”
Li Yidao even pointed at the plaque of his funeral shop, making his intention clear.
His gaze was calm, but in his calm eyes, he seemed to be looking at an idiot!
Seeing Li Yidao’s attitude, the CEO restrained the anger in his heart.
He tried his best to maintain composure and not get angry!
If this were any other day, he might have ordered his bodyguards to take action!
“How dare this person talk to me like this? Tired of living?” He thought inwardly.
But not today!
He gritted his teeth and continued, “I have investigated your identity, your information, even everything about you from birth till now!”
After hearing this, Li Yidao’s eyes turned icy as he looked directly at him.
A threat?
However, the other party completely ignored Li Yidao’s expression and continued, “I know that some of the rumors about you on the internet are not just rumors! ”
“Our Qian family also has a master’s guidance, and he said you are an expert!” “This time, only you can solve my grandfather’s problem!”
“One hundred million! As long as you save my grandfather’s life, I’ll offer you this money! Even more is possible!”
There was no way.
Not to mention one hundred million, even if it was one billion, they would pay!
Otherwise, if the old master really died, they might have to pay far more than this!
After all, the family’s irreplaceable pillar was not a joke!
He could turn a blind eye to everything, but as long as he was there, the family would never fall!
Hearing the other party’s words, Li Yidao’s expression showed some changes.
But it was not because of the one hundred million mentioned by the other party.
It was the “master” mentioned by him!
This master called him an expert!
For a moment, his expression became more serious!
Could it be that there really were such so-called “masters” in this world?
Or perhaps having a system was not unique?
It was not exclusive to “transmigrators”?
Or, was this the exclusive ability of “transmigrators” and the master was one of them?
But no matter what, it was not a good thing for Li Yidao!
His gaze became extremely deep at this moment.
Their eyes met.
“Ugn, really( someone guided you”‘
“Do you really believe I can control the Grim Reaper?”
“Or do you think it’s a coincidence? Or maybe inevitable?”
“But whether it’s a coincidence or inevitable, it proves that I’m not the person you’re looking for. So, do you still believe I can save your grandfather?”
Li Yidao’s questions left the other party in a stunned state!
What did this mean?
At this moment, as the other party looked at Li Yidao, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if Li Yidao had completely changed!
As if he could truly see into a person’s soul!
Or perhaps there was something mysterious about him!
There was even a moment when he felt that Li Yidao was the Grim Reaper himself!
But as Li Yidao was waiting for his response, he gritted his teeth and said, “I, I believe!”
Li Yidao looked at him with a sneer on his face.
“Huh, you don’t believe.”
“Alright, go back now. I can’t save anyone, and no amount of money can save them.”
“Prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible. Time is running out. If needed, we can provide an all-in-one service.”
“But for wealthy people like you, our process might be relatively crude, and the best we can offer might be somewhat low-end.”
“Oh, by the way, we currently have a 50% discount for reservations. You can make the reservation online directly.”
After finishing his words, Li Yidao turned and walked back into the room.
He closed the rolling door behind him.
Seeing Li Yidao closing the door, the other person was about to chase after him.
However, the rolling door was coming down quickly, and he only managed to take a step forward before quickly retreating. Otherwise, he might have been stuck!
But he did not give up!
At that moment, he was truly anxious. According to the words of the family’s master, his grandfather’s life was in this person’s hands!
Although he didn’t want to believe it in his heart, reality forced him to believe it.
He shouted towards the inside of the room!
“One billion! As long as you save my grandfather, I’ll give you one billion directly! ”
However, Li Yidao ignored him.
It wasn’t that he was indifferent to that one billion yuan.
It was because he really couldn’t save this person.
Even if he could save him, there wouldn’t be much time left for that old man!
The Hand of God could not save the lives of people who had reached the end of their lifespans!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that one’s lifespan could be endlessly extended?
As for the length of each person’s lifespan, Li Yidao did not know how to speculate about it.
Anyway…
There must be a judgment standard in the mysterious workings of fate!
However, Li Yidao, who had not checked his phone from morning till now, was unaware that his recent follow had once again caused panic all over the internet!
That was right!
Now, Li Yidao’s followings could be described with the word “panic”!
“F*ck! Did you guys see that? Brother Dao added another person to his follow list. ”
“I saw it last night, and I even went to check. D*mn, guess who Brother Dao is following?!”
“Who? Stop keeping us in suspense! Those who keep us in suspense will die with their whole family! ”
“Spit it out! You will be scared to death! He’s following our Qinglin City’s number one! Qian Family’s old master!”
“What? Brother Dao is following Qian Family’s old master! D*mn, isn’t that too exciting!”
“No way, no way. The old master’s medical team claims to be high-paying foreign hires. The annual cost is in the tens of millions!”
“Pff, tens of billions won’t matter. If it’s time to die, you’ll die! Anyone followed by Brother Dao is doomed!”
“Exactly! Brother Dao should follow everyone in that family! The Qian family is nothing good!”
“The guy upstairs, what are you talking about? The Qian family does charity every year and invests billions to build schools. How can they not be good people?”
“Huh, idiot, get lost! Billions to build schools? Why don’t you ask how that money came about?! It’s all earned through blood and tears! Why don’t you ask how much tax they evade with all this charity?”
“The guy upstairs seems to know some inside information. Tell us more?”
“More? You really don’t know about Qinglin City’s Qian family? I advise you not to inquire any further, or you might find yourself in trouble tomorrow!”
“Um… So impressive? Now I’m even more curious!”
“Curiosity killed the cat, bro…”
Li Yidao was completely unaware of all the comments and discussions happening on the internet.
He had returned to Li Yinuo’s room, sitting there quietly, attempting to find some traces of Li Yinuo in the room once again… but it was all in vain.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw a photo.
It was a picture of him and Li Yinuo from their childhood.
He carefully examined it, furrowing his brow, and his eyes filled with contemplation.
As he approached the photo, he suddenly tensed up, and his pupils dilated.
In the picture, he saw something that should not have been there!
