HCB Chapter 133 Loss of Soul
Chapter 133 Loss of Soul
I almost aroused Zhang Xingsheng's suspicion just by casually inquiring about Li Xuezhi's situation.
Therefore, Li Yi dared not ask any further questions.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to try the simplest method first: secretly follow Li Xuezhi to see if he could discover anything else.
By 6 p.m., the situation at the factory had been mostly resolved, and everyone began to leave.
Li Yi quickly found Zhang Xingsheng, "Old Zhang, I have to go out for a bit. You'll have to keep an eye on things at the factory. Let me know if anything unusual happens."
"No problem, Mr. Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll stay at the factory."
"Okay, I'll definitely ask President Bai to give you a raise later!"
After giving Zhang Xingsheng a few instructions, Li Yi immediately drove off and quietly followed Li Xuezhi.
After leaving the factory, the other party first drove a van to a busy street and set up a stall to sell some daily necessities.
Around 8 p.m., Li Xuezhi packed up his stall and drove back to an old residential area.
The entire process proceeded without any abnormalities.
Li Yi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then took out his phone and called Zhang Xingsheng.
"Old Zhang, things aren't looking good with General Manager Bai. Could you perhaps gather all the employees and have them write a petition to try and lessen the charges against him..."
"...Oh right, isn't Lao Li the warehouse supervisor? Send me his address and tell him too... It's okay, I'll go see him myself..."
After Li Yi hung up the phone, he soon received a text message from Zhang Xingsheng.
Then, he waited downstairs for a while, and when he figured it was about time, he went into the residential area.
Following the house number sent by Zhang Xingsheng, they found Li Xuezhi's home.
Li Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"They're here!"
Li Xuezhi's voice soon came from inside the room.
When the door opened and he saw Li Yi standing there, he immediately said, "Boss Li, Lao Zhang has already told me about President Bai's matter. I can go to the factory tomorrow. Why do you have to make the trip yourself?"
"Oh dear, I couldn't wait any longer, so I came over so late at night. I'm so sorry to bother you."
"It's alright. President Bai is a good person and takes good care of us. We'll do anything to help her reduce her burden."
As Li Xuezhi spoke, he invited Li Yi into the house, saying, "Boss Li, please have a seat. I'll go write the petition now."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yi nodded, then looked around at Li Xuezhi's home.
The other party lived in a two-bedroom apartment, which was old and had very little decent furniture.
It's obvious at a glance that their economic conditions aren't very good.
Li Yi glanced around but didn't see the other person's wife.
However, he noticed a strong and unique smell in the room.
After carefully discerning the flavor, Li Yi was immediately stunned.
Because the scent he just smelled contained natural musk, deer antler, and century-old wild ginseng, among other things.
You should know that these are all extremely precious medicinal materials, and even a small amount will not be cheap.
However, with Li Xuezhi's current income, he simply cannot afford these precious medicinal herbs.
"Looks like this guy really is suspicious!"
Although these precious medicinal herbs cannot directly prove that Li Xuezhi was involved in yesterday's fire, there are more and more suspicious points about him now.
Li Yi's eyes flashed, and he quickly made a plan.
"Boss Li, I've finished writing the document. What do you think?"
A short while later, Li Xuezhi came out with a piece of white paper in his hand.
Li Yi took it and saw that it simply stated how good Bai Ruxue was and hoped that the court would consider the matter and reduce her liability.
"No problem, thank you very much this time."
The petition was just an excuse Li Yi came up with.
So he just glanced at it and put the things away. "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard from Old Zhang that your wife isn't in good health?"
His wife's illness was no secret, and Li Xuezhi didn't hide it. "My wife's health is indeed not very good, but it's an old problem."
"Oh, since you're here, shall I say hello to your wife?"
"Boss Li, there's no need to trouble yourself. You should go and take care of General Manager Bai's matter first."
"No trouble at all, Mr. Li. You personally wrote the petition to General Manager Bai, and I never bothered to come over, not even to say hello. By the way, which room is your wife in?"
As Li Yi spoke, he began to walk into the room.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Xuezhi could only say, "Well... Mr. Li, please come with me."
So the two of them went straight to the innermost bedroom.
The door opened, and a woman in her fifties was sitting blankly on the bed.
The other person seemed to have no senses at all; even when someone entered the room, she showed no reaction.
He didn't even blink.
Li Xuezhi pointed to his head. "Boss Li, this is my wife. She has Alzheimer's disease and doesn't understand anything. Please don't mind."
Li Yi sized up the woman in front of him, his face darkening. "Master Li, your wife doesn't have Alzheimer's, she has a mental disorder."
"Aphasia?"
Li Xuezhi was taken aback when he heard this, then immediately shook his head. "Boss Li, you must be mistaken. We've been to many hospitals for examinations, and the doctors all say that she has Alzheimer's disease."
Li Yi said confidently, "I can't be wrong. Your wife has amnesia. The hospital made a mistake."
In fact, "loss of soul" is just a term used in traditional Chinese medicine. In the eyes of Western medicine, it does have some similarities to dementia, and both are related to problems with the nervous system.
However, these two conditions have different causes, and treating them only as dementia will not be very effective.
Li Xuezhi felt somewhat dissatisfied when he saw Li Yi insisting that his wife had some kind of amnesia and even shamelessly claiming that the hospital had made a mistake in the diagnosis.
"What, Mr. Li, are you some kind of miracle doctor?"
"I wouldn't call myself a miracle doctor, but I am indeed a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Master Li, if you don't believe me, I can prove it to you right away."
Can it be proven?
Li Xuezhi was taken aback when he heard this, and then he saw Li Yi walk directly towards his wife.
Immediately afterwards, the other person placed his hands on his wife's head and began to press down.
Upon seeing this, Li Xuezhi was immediately taken aback.
"What are you doing? Let go!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll just give your wife a quick treatment, she'll be fine soon."
Treatment my ass!
Even if Li Yi is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he is still very young, so his medical skills can't be that good.
Li Xuezhi would never dare to let him lay a hand on his wife.
"Let go...right now..."
Li Xuezhi was about to pull Li Yi away.
But the next moment, a deep voice rang out.
