Chapter 1191
As Tong Li spoke, she kowtowed heavily to Old Mr. Tong.
Tong Qizhen had watched Tong Li grow up. He often hugged Tong Li when she was younger.
In addition, his own daughter, Tong Li, was the same age as Tong Li, so his heart softened again. “Dad, Jiaxuan did something wrong today, but Li Li is still young. Please give her a chance. Such a young child doesn’t have the ability to survive in society at all. If you let her leave like this, she might go down the wrong path. I think you definitely don’t want to see Li Li become like that, right?”
“Dad, Lili might have been led astray by Jiaxuan
previously. I believe that this child is not a bad person. If you’re willing to keep her, I’ll teach her well and guide her to the right path.”
Old Mr. Tong sighed.
Tong Li was still young after all. Perhaps there was still hope.
Coupled with the intergenerational relationship, Old Mr. Tong finally changed his mind and decided to give her a chance.
“Alright, I won’t chase you away, but from now on, you’re not allowed to be as domineering as before. You have to learn well from Qizhen and learn from Xiao Li. Work hard to repeat this year and get into a proper university…”
How could Tong Li not agree?
She nodded her head like she was pounding garlic, promising and swearing.
“I’ll definitely study hard and learn from Xiao Li. I’ll work hard to get into university Insterimond.”
“You… I don’t expect you to get into any undergraduate school. Even if you can get past the third-tier college mark,
I can hold a banquet for you for three days…”
“I won’t let you down, Grandpa!”
“That better be the case! However, compared to grades, the most important thing is to be a person. I won’t blame you if you can’t get into university, but if you don’t be a good person… I won’t give you another chance. Don’t think that I don’t know about the ridiculous things you did in Jinxiu Town in Insterimond! In the future, you’re not allowed to go to bars or anything like that. You’re also not allowed to do anything arrogant and despotic. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless as a grandfather and letting you leave with your father!”
Tong Li nodded vigorously. “I understand, Grandpa. I’ll be good from now on.”
When Old Mr. Tong saw this, he did not say anything else.
In any case, Tong Li’s performance in the future would determine whether she could stay in the Tong family.
Fortunately, Tong Li’s biological brother was different from them.
Old Mr. Tong sighed and said, “Forget it! Let’s not talk about it anymore. Go upstairs now and reflect on yourself. Write a 10,000-word self-reflection letter for me.”
“I understand, Grandpa.”
Tong Li nodded and quickly went upstairs as if she was afraid that Old Mr. Tong would react.
However, when she passed by Melody Fox’s Fox, she subconsciously took a deep look at Melody Fox.
After Tong Li went upstairs, Old Mr. Tong cupped his hands at everyone.
“Everyone, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you today. Something like this happened to my Tong family. I really didn’t accumulate any evil deeds in my previous life!”
“Thank you for coming over today and sending me on my last journey. You’ve also helped me a lot. I’ll definitely visit you another day to thank you!”
“Now, please go back first. However, please don’t tell anyone about what happened today…”
Everyone agreed.
Then, they bid farewell to each other.
Melody Fox was about to leave with Maria Fox when Old Mr. Tong stopped them.
“Please wait a moment.”
Maria Fox looked at Old Mr. Tong and said, “Old Tong, is there anything else?”
“I want to formally thank you again!”
Maria Fox waved his hand. “We’re friends. Friends don’t talk about such things. If you want to thank someone, just thank my granddaughter. Oh right, I haven’t introduced her yet. Her name is Melody Fox.”
Old Mr. Tong nodded and looked at Melody Fox in praise.
“Little Miao, thank you for saving my life today. I have nothing to repay you with. In the future, if you need anything from me, Fox, just ask!”
As Old Mr. Tong spoke, he instructed Tong Qizhen to take out a sandalwood box from his house.
“This is a small token of my appreciation. It’s my family’s heirloom. Please accept it!”
When the box was opened, there was a thumb ring inside.
The thumb ring was embedded with gemstones.
Melody Fox did not know much about this ring. Just as he was about to refuse, Ken Swanson suddenly said, “This is… Did you buy it from Pearly Antiques?”
“Yes. It was bought at an auction many years ago. I originally planned to pass it down for generations, but now, I want to give it to Little Miao as a token of my gratitude.”
Melody Fox glanced at Ken Swanson and stopped rejecting him.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Tong.”
“You’re welcome. This is what I should do. It’s just a small gift. I’m very happy that you don’t mind. However, I’m really dumbfounded that you have such shocking medical skills at such a young age! In this world, it seems that only Hua Tuo can bring the dead back to life.”
Melody Fox quickly said, “Mr. Tong, you flatter me. It’s not that my medical skills are as good as Hua Tuo’s to be able to revive people. It’s just that the illness you have is rather special.”
Old Mr. Tong was a little curious.
“Oh? I wonder what illness I have? Ever since I felt unwell, I’ve seen many doctors, but they were all helpless. That’s why I returned to my hometown to wait for death…”
Melody Fox explained, “The illness you have is actually not an illness, but a poison. This poison is called the Blood Smothering Poison.”
“Poisoned?!” Old Mr. Tong widened his eyes in surprise and asked, “I’m not sick, but poisoned?”
“That’s right!”
Tong Qizhen was surprised for a moment before he hurriedly asked, “Who dares to poison you? Dad, did you offend anyone in Insterimond?”
Old Mr. Tong smiled bitterly.
“Who can I offend? At my age, I’ve been lying flat for the past few years. I’m just waiting to retire. It’s impossible for me to offend anyone.”
However, he was also very curious as to who would poison him.
Hence, Old Mr. Tong asked, “Little Miao, can you tell me what the Blood Smothering Poison you mentioned is?”
“Mhm.” Melody Fox nodded and introduced the Blood Smothering Poison.
“The poison of blood suffocation can make one’s body deficient day by day and make one vomit blood non-stop. When the poison takes effect at its strongest Fox seconds, the human heart will stop beating and breathing will stop. However, even if the heart stops beating, the chest will still heat up.”
“It’s precisely from this that I deduced that you might have been poisoned by the Blood Smothering Poison.”
“Therefore, I used nine-line acupuncture to force the poison out of your body. Then, I donated 11 pounds of crocuses to make a medicinal soup and soaked you in it.”
“The donation of the red flower has a very powerful effect on reviving blood. Moreover, it’s the nemesis of the Blood Smothering Poison. That’s why you woke up and came back.”
“Therefore, I didn’t have the ability to revive from the dead. Instead, I used the right treatment method on the right Fox.”
Old Mr. Tong stroked his beard.
“I see…”
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the recent rumors about Insterimond.
Hence, he asked, “Little Miao, I’ve never heard of the blood-suffocating poison you mentioned before. But I heard that recently, malicious doctors. Malicious doctors have appeared in Insterimond. I wonder if it has anything to do with my illness?”
