Physician's Odyssey Chapter 507 - Heaven’s Retribution

Sitting on the couch, Su Tao revealed the entire truth.

"Actually, Rushan and I aren't a couple. We're just neighbors, and I only played along with her due to her request. I hope that you can understand us for lying to you.

"At the same time, I would like to speak a few words for Rushan. Although she lied to you guys, she did it with good intentions. She didn't want to worry you guys about her life here. Furthermore, she's living truthfully. It might be tedious, but she's working towards her dream every single day. So I would like to ask you guys to give her some time and s.p.a.ce."

With the truth finally revealed, it was explainable why Yuan Cui managed to film Su Tao entering this building.

Waving his hand, Gu Daoshan replied, "This has nothing to do with you. It was our daughter who dragged you into this matter."

While Yuan Cui felt smugly that she had revealed a plot, she ridiculed, "It's no wonder why I would feel something unusual about your relations.h.i.+p. So it turned out to be a scam!"

Glancing at Yuan Cui, Su Tao said, "Uncle, there's something that I would like to say. Everyone's life is different, and your daughter is extremely outstanding. She's not an inferior product; she's unwilling to resign her fate to a normal lifestyle and wants to achieve something. As for inferior products, let's take Mrs. Yuan Cui here, for example. For a miser, harsh, and greedy person like her, her life is also filled with vulgarity."

Planting her hands by her waist, Yuan Cui raged, "You actually dare to insult me?"

Everyone else was also stunned. Although Su Tao's words made sense, it didn't seem appropriate for him to name someone.

Glancing at Yuan Cui in disdain, Su Tao continued, "You've targeted me numerous times with your fussiness and insults. I've been putting up with you for a long time. The reason why I did not bother with you was that I did not want to lower myself to your level. Furthermore, I was also giving Rushan face by not making things difficult for you."

As Yuan Cui's chest heaved from the anger, she roared, "You're just a liar. What qualifications do you have to reprimand me? The reason why I was so fussy with you is that I want Gu Rushan to change her mind!"

Not giving her any face, Su Tao continued to humiliate her, "Rushan is a person, and she won't change her life because of you. As for you, you're only showing your jealousy for her. As humans, we should have some dignity in speech. Otherwise, you will suffer retribution sooner or later with your family leaving you abandoned!"

The rage in Yuan Cui's heart had reached the limit and she nearly vomited blood.

"Get lost! You're not welcome here!"

Yuan Cui actually took herself to be the owner here.

After venting out all the emotions in his heart, Su Tao waved his hand and left.

"Retribution will come, and it will come within a month. Good luck to you!"

Su Tao had no compa.s.sion for someone like Yuan Cui. She's just a vixen who was both greedy and vicious.

But there's no need for him to deal with Yuan Cui. It was recorded in the traditional medical book, the Thirteen Prayers, that it's easy for someone with a vicious mouth like Yuan Cui to contract illnesses. As the saying goes, evil has its retributions, and the time just hasn't come.

Although Yuan Cui has applied lip balm, Su Tao could see her cracked lips. If it goes according to his expectations, there should be an issue with her spleen and stomach, which was reflected on her lips. Anyone that knew TCM could tell that she had a vicious mouth.

She had already shown signs of the "Spleen-Lips Karma," but it just hadn't broken out yet.

After he left the apartment, Su Tao gave Gu Rushan a call and told her what just happened. A brief silence later, Gu Rushan's tone wasn't as angry as he had imagined and sighed, "Firstly, I would like to apologise to you for giving you trouble because of my selfishness and willfulness. Secondly, I apologise on behalf of my family; they're only making things difficult for you to protect me. Lastly, even without our fake relations.h.i.+p as lovers, I hope that we can be friends."

Her calmness made him feel shocked, but he soon understood that she had probably predicted this outcome a long time ago.

"I hope that you can endure the pressure and not be defeated by reality." Su Tao replied.

"Don't underestimate my determination!" Gu Rushan smiled. "Don't worry about it. I will handle everything well!"

When he hung up the call, Su Tao suddenly felt that his heart was empty. Although it was a façade, he couldn't help being dragged into the role and started paying attention to Gu Rushan.

"Rushan, what are you thinking?" A staff member urged, "Your scene is next. Not only do you have to recite lines, but you're also required to go into motion. The director placed great importance on this scene, and it might be harsh. So you must be prepared!"

Looking at the display on her phone lighting up with a call from her mother, she did not pick it up and sighed as she walked to the camera and went into her role.

Under the help of the staff, Gu Rushan was hooked on wires and rose into the sky. Since she had a foundation in dancing, she could easily find her balance as she drew an arc in the air and slowly landed on the ground. But just when she wanted to read out her lines, she suddenly heard the director calling cut.

"Your expression isn't rich enough. Again!"

After a brief rest, Gu Rushan was hooked on wires again. However, it still didn't go as smoothly as she had imagined.

"Cut! The motion of your hands isn't graceful enough!"

The director didn't seem to be in a good mood today, he was unusually fussy.

"Cut, you recited the lines too quickly!"

The production team did not dare to speak, they clearly knew that the director was in a fit of anger. Thus, no one dared to utter a word for Gu Rushan.

Everyone was baffled since the director was usually satisfied with Gu Rushan's performance.

Although Gu Rushan did not graduate from any acting school, she's extremely hard-working. Thus, she was often praised by the director.

But what's with the director today? He seemed to be trying to mess with Gu Rushan!

Truth be told, Gu Rushan's performance was already pretty good. For such a highly difficult scene, experienced actors would usually get a subst.i.tute before perfecting it with editing.

Then again, Gu Rushan had displayed her toughness. She's more focused every time she was put on wires. She wasn't discouraged from the director's criticism and believed that she truly wasn't good enough.

Roughly half an hour later, the director finally couldn't find an issue. As he nodded his head, he coldly said, "Alright, this scene is done! You had it tough!"

Hearing those words, Gu Rushan finally felt relieved as she found a place and gently ma.s.saged on the sore spots.

Glancing at Gu Rushan, the director walked over and handed her a bottle of mineral water before he praised, "You were very professional. Although you did not graduate from any acting school, your learning ability is high. I have already discussed it with the screenwriter, and we will increase your scenes. At the same time, your salary will increase! But you have to be prepared since it won't be easy."

When the director finished, he left and prepared for the next scene.

A long time later, Gu Rushan finally recovered. She knew that the director was purposely being fussy with her and reminded her of the true essence of an actor before telling her that she has received his acknowledgment!

As she tightened her grasp on the mineral water, Gu Rushan suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"Gu Rushan, you have done well! I believe that you can succeed!"

Taking up a report on Kohei Koizumi in her office, Ni Jingqiu wore a grave expression and sighed, "According to the intelligence team, Kohei Koizumi's main objective in this trip to China is to get his illness treated?"

Nodding her head, the secretary, An Qian, replied, "That's right! He first went to the General Alley's w.a.n.g Family, before he paid a visit to several famous physicians under the help of a famous businessman from j.a.pan, Kenji Inada. But there's something unusual about it. He only visited physicians and not doctors. He has never visited any western medicine specialist."

Recalling how Su Tao did not want to treat Kohei Koizumi during the dinner that day, Ni Jingqiu knew that the monstrous young divine physician must have seen through Kohei Koizumi's condition.

"Continue to observe him and remember to keep in contact with him." Ni Jingqiu instructed.

After a brief silence, An Qian finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Chairman Ni, the investment from Kohei Koizumi isn't optimistic. If he's really gravely ill, then I'm afraid that the cooperation will fail because of his body condition even if we succeeded. Why don't we pay attention to the other executives from the Fuji Group and give up on Kohei Koizumi?"

Shaking her head, Ni Jingqiu responded, "Kohei Koizumi has a significant position in the Fuji Group, not to mention that he's also the representative of those friendly to China. If we let him go, it won't be easy for us to obtain Fuji Group's investment."

"Our Newlight Media has been maintaining a healthy development, and we're not lacking in funds." An Qian was baffled.

With a faint smile, Ni Jingqiu replied, "I hope to use Fuji Group's influence to enter j.a.pan's market! Aside from that, our cultural realm is also weak."

An Qian knew that Ni Jingqiu had her own decisions, which she left without saying a word.

But all of a sudden, Ni Jingqiu suddenly called out to her, "Have you prepared the dinner that I told you earlier?"

"It's already prepared!" Although An Qian did not show any expression on her face, she was pretty shocked in her heart since this was already the third time that Ni Jingqiu was asking her this question. It looked like it must be an important dinner.

After An Qian left, Ni Jingqiu went into her wardrobe, and surprisingly, she fell into a dilemma. Every single time she placed a dress before her, she would end up shaking her head and picking another one.

She knew that Su Tao had triggered her. Gorgeous beauty? She knew that at the very least, she couldn't lose in terms of fas.h.i.+on.

Although she had been decisive in the business world, her lifestyle wasn't too different from any other woman.
