Chapter 781

“Is that so?” Zhang Heming’s expression turned slightly better.

Shi Luo quickly said seriously, “He Bing and I met someone who looked a little similar to that miracle doctor today. We didn’t get a good look at her face, so we said bad things to your savior. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Zhang Heming was silent for a moment before he said, Since it’s a misunderstanding, forget it… Come, this is our first time working together. Let’s have a toast!”

Shi Luo hurriedly poured wine for Zhang Heming. “President Zhang, let me toast you!”

With a clink, Shi Luo’s heart calmed down a little.

Before this, he never thought that he would have to fabricate such a lie because of someone he previously disliked.

Not long after, He Bing finally arrived.

He was not stupid. He drank three glasses of wine as soon as he entered and apologized to Zhang Heming.

Zhang Heming was in a good mood and indeed wanted to facilitate this collaboration with the Swanson Group, so he did not take this matter to heart.

About 40 minutes later, everyone was full and finally signed the contract.

After politely sending Zhang Heming off, He Bing was about to apologize to Shi Luo when he saw Shi Luo standing in front of a private room opposite the private room. His expression was very solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Boss Shi? What are you looking at?”

“No…” Shi Luo suddenly came back to his senses and said, You guys go first. I still have something to do.”

“What’s the matter? Zhang Heming has already left. Is there anything else? Do you need my help?”

Shi Luo was a little annoyed. He frowned and said, “This is a private matter. I don’t need your help. Leave quickly!”

He Bing knew that Shi Luo did not have any other hobbies. He only liked beautiful women. Perhaps there was a peerless beauty in this private room.

After thinking about it, He Bing immediately stopped disturbing Shi Luo and left the hotel with everyone.

After He Bing left, Shi Luo paced back and forth at the door of the private room, as if there were two little people fighting in his mind.

One of them asked him to push the door open and say a few good words to that woman to see if she could really help him detoxify the poison.

The other villain told him that even if this woman’s medical skills were really good, she might be able to detoxify him. If he went in, he would only be asking for humiliation.

The voices of the two little people filled his mind, making him almost manic.

“Forget it!”

Shi Luo gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

However, after taking two steps, she stopped in her tracks. Because a third voice appeared out of thin air in his mind: Is face more important or is life more important?

“Damn it!”

Shi Luo took a deep breath in his heart and finally mustered his courage. He walked back and knocked on the door of the private room.

Aaron Berg’s voice came from inside-

“Enter.”

Shi Luo pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

However, when he walked into the private room, he realized that there were not only Melody Fox and Aaron Berg in the private room. There was also… someone who he had never expected to appear here.

James Deeds!

Ken Swanson’s most popular assistant was Mr. Deeds.

His appearance here was almost equivalent to Ken Swanson’s appearance here.

Could it be… that all of this was a trap?

Ken Swanson sensed that he might have to side with Ulric Swanson, so he sent a doctor to test him?

He actually did not have much ambition. He only wanted to be a senior executive in the Swanson Group and did not want to be involved in the dispute between the two sons of the chairman.

However, now that Ulric Swanson had made a move, he had already placed him in a position where he could not retreat. Of the two, he had to choose one.

But who was he going to choose?

Shilo suddenly had the right to choose, but he felt as if his brain had been blocked, causing his brain to shut down for a moment, unable to think.

However, at this moment, he saw James Deeds looking at him in surprise.

“Boss Shi? Why are you here?”

Shi Luo was stunned for a moment before asking, “You, you..

Was he wrong? Was the appearance of this doctor not deliberately arranged by Ken Swanson?

Shi Luo was even more confused.

However, he was certain of one thing. Since he had chosen to walk into this private room, he had to choose a side seriously.

Shi Luo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before saying, “I didn’t know Mr. Deeds was here. I’m here to look for Doctor Fox.”

“Oh? So you’re here to look for Miss Fox?”

Shi Luo nodded and asked, “Do you know Doctor Fox?”

“Of course, but… I can’t tell you her identity for the time being.”

Melody raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. She continued to eat her rice as if she could not hear their conversation at all.

Shi Lou was even more confused.

Wasn’t she just a doctor? What other identity could she have? But if she was really an ordinary doctor… How could she dare to be so arrogant in front of James Deeds, the popular person in front of Ken Swanson?

Before Shi Luo could figure it out, James Deeds looked at him carefully and asked, “Is Boss Shi feeling unwell?”

“Well…”

Shi Luo did not know what to say. He saw Melody Fox, who had been eating with her head lowered, suddenly raise her head and say, “He’s poisoned. This poison will kill him after it acts up.

James Deeds tons revealed a shocked expression.

“CEO Shi, why did you come to Lin City for a business trip when such a big thing happened? Why didn’t you find a way to cure the poison?”

“This…” Shi Luo felt a lump in his throat. These two people made him unable to say a complete sentence.

If he told the truth, it would mean that he had already chosen Ken Swanson as his side.

But what if this woman could not cure his illness? Wouldn’t he have sacrificed his life for nothing?

While he was hesitating, James Deeds turned around and asked the woman.

“Miss Fox, he’s someone our young master admires very much. Can you see if you can cure his poison?”

Shi Luo’s heart was instantly in his throat.

Melody chuckled and said, “It’s just a small trick by malicious doctors. I can immediately help him detoxify the poison. However… he provoked me, so I don’t want to help him detoxify the poison.”

As soon as she said this, the disappointment that he had just suspected James Deeds of pretending not to know immediately wavered.

If this woman’s appearance was really a trap, she wouldn’t have said that she wouldn’t detoxify him.

Shi Luo immediately felt that the choice was finally back in his own hands.

Ken Swanson or Ulric Swanson.

Thinking of this, Shi Luo was suddenly not in a hurry to make this choice. He believed that with his ability, Ken Swanson would definitely want to rope him in. He did not have to bow down to this unknown woman in front of him.

He could wait for Ken Swanson to take the initiative to find him.

However, Shi Luo did not know that every change in his heart was part of Melody’s plan.

After Shi Luo thought it through, his expression became extremely relaxed.

“Since Doctor Fox is unwilling to treat me, I’ll find someone else. Mr. Deeds, I’ll take my leave first.”

James Deeds was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to stop Shi Luo.

How could he be willing to let Jia Niao fly away just like that?

However, before he could speak, Melody Fox, who was beside him, grabbed his hand.
