Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1372: Caution is the best
Hu Xianyong couldn't understand why Xu Chunliang would let Li Yong go, but since Xu Chunliang promised to let bygones be bygones on this condition, there was no need for him to investigate. Moreover, he felt guilty towards Li Yong in this matter, and he also wanted to help his friend get out of this. He had asked Li Yong to take responsibility for this matter because he was desperate. Xu Chunliang agreed to let him go, probably because he took into account his brother-in-law's status in Jeju.

As long as Xu Chunliang did not pursue the matter, the previous issues would naturally be easily resolved. Li Yong, who had been at Hu Xianyong's side, was soon released. In order to fulfill Hu Xianyong's promise, he went to find Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang asked Li Yong to come directly to his house to find him.

Li Yong came to Xu Chunliang's old house according to the house number provided. Li Yong, a native of the old city, grew up in the old city and was very familiar with the environment of the old city. He knew that this was the property of the famous doctor Zhou Renhe in the past. Before coming here, he also learned about Xu Chunliang. Although his source of information was limited, he still found out some things. One thing is certain, Xu Chunliang is a very powerful person.

When he arrived at the door, he found it was ajar. Out of caution, Li Yong knocked on the door anyway. Although he had never been to college, he had read a lot of books. He knew the story of Coach Lin who mistakenly entered the White Tiger Hall. If Xu Chunliang retaliated, he would fall into the trap and it would be difficult to climb out.

A loud voice came from inside: "The door is not closed, come in."

Li Yong turned on the recording on his mobile phone before entering the room and collected evidence throughout the process. It was not that he was too cautious, but that his opponent was too strong. Li Yong still couldn't believe that Xu Chunliang would let him go so easily.

He pushed open the gate and walked in, and saw Xu Chunliang coming out of the main room. Li Yong knew Xu Chunliang, but the two had never met before, let alone any communication.

Xu Chunliang looked at Li Yong. Li Yong did not match the image of a gangster he had imagined. He was fair-skinned, well-mannered, about 1.75 meters tall, and looked a little frail.

Li Yong said: "Director Xu, Captain Hu said you were looking for me."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to talk to you about. Please sit inside."

Li Yong followed Xu Chunliang into the room and saw a copper stove hot pot on the eight-immortals table. Both meat and vegetable dishes were prepared, and there was also a bottle of Moutai on the table.

Li Yong was confused. Is he going to treat me to a drink? No, I found someone to avenge him. I was already in police station after the incident. I was detained at least. But he didn't pursue the matter. It would be fine if he didn't pursue the matter. He even invited me to his house for a drink. Is it because of Yang Wenguo?
Li Yong immediately denied this possibility. If Yang Wenguo could settle the matter, he would not have been taken to the police station.

Xu Chunliang said, "I live alone, let's just eat something."

Li Yong said, "No need, Director Xu, if you have anything to say, just tell me and I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Chunliang said: "Since you are a guest, you have to give me this respect."

Li Yong had to delay but sat down. Xu Chunliang poured wine into the glass. Li Yong quickly said, "Director Xu, I don't drink."

Xu Chunliang placed a full glass of wine in front of him: "I heard from Hu Xianyong that you can drink a lot, at least one and a half kilograms."

Li Yong's scalp tightened. This Hu Xianyong told everything.

Xu Chunliang said: "I just came to Jeju and don't have many friends. I usually drink by myself. Finally, a guest came to drink with me."

Li Yong said: "Then I can only respectfully obey your command."

The two men clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine, and Xu Chunliang invited him to eat.

Li Yong was muttering in his heart, what is he up to? Is he planning to play the long game? Want to use me? No way, I would never betray my friends even if I had to work on a sewing machine.

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry too much. I just want to talk to you. I don't want to use you to deal with anyone. I can deal with anyone I want. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Li Yong smiled somewhat awkwardly. What Xu Chunliang said was true. Hu Xianyong's fighting power was so strong that Xu Chunliang beat him so badly that he didn't even have a chance to fight back. Li Yong had seen Hu Xianyong's mobile phone, and until now he still didn't believe that it was smashed by Xu Chunliang's slap.

After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere between the two men eased a lot, but Li Yong still did not let down his guard.

"Director Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I heard that you were the one who planned the serial trap for me?"

Li Yong nodded: "I did it alone. If you want to investigate, I am willing to take all the responsibility."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "I said Hu Xianyong's IQ was too low to come up with so many tricks. Li Yong, you can do it. Ask the security guards to break down my car first, then arrange for a taxi to pick me up at the door, take me to the planned location, and arrange a rear-end collision. Do you want to arrange for Erdan and his gang to beat me up?"

Li Yong said: "That was the original arrangement, but I didn't expect them to fight among themselves." He still didn't understand why the people he arranged had an internal conflict. They were just acting, but they actually started fighting.

Xu Chunliang said, "You think things through very carefully. If I can't help but fight back, it will lead to a fight. For me, no matter whether I win or lose, I will get into trouble. Do we have any deep hatred in the past?" Li Yong shook his head: "My starting point is very simple, just to help Brother Hu vent his anger."

Xu Chunliang said, "That's very loyal." He raised his glass, clinked it with Li Yong's, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Li Yong also finished the glass of wine. This time he did not let Xu Chunliang pour him a glass of wine. He took the bottle and filled it up for Xu Chunliang. This wine is not cheap. Since you are willing to treat me, there is no need for me to be polite to you.

Xu Chunliang said: "There is something I can't figure out, how did you become friends with Hu Xianyong?"

Li Yong said: "It is my freedom to make friends with whomever I want. You don't need to worry about it."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Let me guess, you must owe him a favor. You left the Water Security Management Team last time because you took the blame for him, right?"

Li Yong put down the wine glass he had picked up: "Director Xu, thank you for your hospitality. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After Xu Chunliang waited for him to stand up, he said slowly, "I promised Hu Xianyong that I would let bygones be bygones, but I didn't promise that I would turn a blind eye if he makes a mistake again in the future."

Li Yong smiled at Xu Chunliang and said, "What happens to him in the future has nothing to do with me."

How could Xu Chunliang not understand? Li Yong was telling him that he had paid back what he owed Hu Xianyong.

Xu Chunliang asked: "How do you say you owe me?"

Li Yong looked at Xu Chunliang in surprise. Could it be that he was referring to the fact that Xu Chunliang had indeed let him go despite the fact that he had planned to deal with him this time? From this point of view, he owed him a favor.

Li Yong said: "Director Xu, please explain it more clearly."

Xu Chunliang gave him a look to understand. Li Yong sat back down and picked up the glass of wine in front of him: "Director Xu, please forgive me for any wrong I have done to you in the past."

Xu Chunliang said, "Because of what you did, many security guards have resigned. You should go to the Culture and Tourism Bureau to be in charge of security work. I have figured out that the rectification of Jeju's culture and tourism must start with security work."

Li Yong looked at Xu Chunliang in surprise. He was the one who was cleared out of the Water Security Management Team. Didn't Xu Chunliang know that? He knew it clearly, but he still dared to use him. What on earth did this man want to do?
Xu Chunliang said, "Don't think too much. I just think you can do this job well. I don't know what happened in the past, and I'm not interested in knowing. You should have paid off the favor you owed Hu Xianyong. People can't always live for others. You still have to think about yourself. Li Yong, you decide what to do next. If you are willing to accept this job, everything between us will be written off, including the stupid things Hu Xianyong did. I will not pursue them anymore. Of course, you can choose not to accept it, or even continue to argue with me."

Li Yong held up the wine glass with both hands. If he didn't accept it, he would be ungrateful. They could have easily sent him to jail. If Xu Chunliang had not chosen not to pursue the matter, he would have to take the blame for the whole thing. Yang Wenguo would not stand up for him.

After the accident, Hu Xianyong was so scared that he specifically asked Li Yong to take the responsibility. Li Yong agreed without hesitation because Hu Xianyong had helped him before.

Xu Chunliang and Li Yong clinked their glasses, finished the glass and said, "I didn't come to Jeju to make a fortune. I just wanted to do something for the local people. Don't think I'm just talking big."

Li Yong said: "That's because you are rich. You should be the only section-level cadre in Jeju who drives a Cayenne to work."

Xu Chunliang laughed: "I am also the only one in Dongzhou."

Li Yong looked around and said, "This house is not cheap. Even in the old city of Jeju, it would cost three million."

Xu Chunliang said: "My villa next to the Yinlong Lake in Dongzhou is worth more than 10 million."

Li Yong said with emotion: "So you don't understand the living conditions of ordinary people at all, and you don't know others' desire for money."

Xu Chunliang said: "You can talk to me."

Li Yong said, "It's useless. For people like you, work is just a hobby, just to kill time. Take the bottle of wine on the table for example. How many families in Jeju have less than the monthly living expenses of this bottle of wine?"

Xu Chunliang said, "You only saw this inequality, but you didn't take any practical action to change it. Most of my wealth is inherited, and some is earned through my own efforts. I can guarantee that none of it was earned through bad conscience. Do you dare to say that you have ever confiscated a single penny of bad conscience from the Water Security Management Brigade and Hu Xianyong and his ilk?"

Li Yong's left hand on the table suddenly clenched. He immediately realized that his action was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly let go and spread his palm flat on the table.

Xu Chunliang said, "I learned some information about you from other people. You came from a very poor family and you are a righteous person. I also heard that you have been donating to several poor students. It's rare to find someone like you in society."
