Qin Bing's hostility
The bandage on her arm was already stained with blood.
The wound was likely still bleeding.
Li Wei put down his chopsticks.
"Your wound needs to be treated."
Qin Bing looked up.
"No need."
Li Wei frowned.
"It will get infected."
Qin Bing said coldly.
"I can handle it myself."
Li Wei didn't say anything more.
Qin Xue glanced at Qin Bing's arm.
"Xiao Bing, you're hurt?"
Qin Bing nodded.
"It's a minor injury."
Qin Xue said worriedly.
"Then you should go to the hospital quickly and have it checked."
Qin Bing shook her head.
"No need, I'll just bandage it myself when I get back."
Qin Xue wanted to say something else.
Li Wei suddenly spoke up.
"I have a first-aid kit in my car."
He paused.
"I'll help you treat it after we finish eating."
Qin Bing turned her head.
She stared at him for a few seconds.
"No need."
Li Wei smiled.
"You're a police officer, you should know the consequences of an infected wound."
Qin Bing fell silent.
After a few seconds.
She nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Her tone was still very cold.
But it had softened a bit compared to before.
Li Wei gave an acknowledging hum.
He continued eating.
The dinner lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.
Everyone had eaten their fill.
Qin Xue paid the bill.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant.
Qin Xue looked at Qin Bing.
"Xiao Bing, you let Mr. Li help you treat your wound, I'm going back to check on Mom."
Qin Bing nodded.
"Okay."
Qin Xue turned to Li Wei.
"Mr. Li, I'll have to trouble you then."
Li Wei waved his hand.
"It's my duty."
Qin Xue smiled.
"Then I'll be going first."
She turned and left.
Only Li Wei and Qin Bing remained.
Li Wei pointed in the direction where he had parked.
"Let's go."
Qin Bing followed him to the parking lot.
The two walked one after the other.
Neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
They walked up to the Mercedes-Benz.
Li Wei opened the trunk.
He took out a first-aid kit.
"Get in the car."
Qin Bing pulled open the passenger door.
She sat inside.
Li Wei also sat in the driver's seat.
He turned on the interior car light.
"Reach out your hand."
Qin Bing hesitated for a moment.
She extended her arm.
Li Wei tore off the adhesive bandage.
The wound was still bleeding.
It wasn't deep, but it wasn't shallow either.
He took out antiseptic cotton.
"It might sting a little."
Qin Bing was expressionless.
"It's fine."
Li Wei pressed the antiseptic cotton onto the wound.
Qin Bing furrowed her brows slightly.
But she didn't make a sound.
Li Wei's movements were very gentle.
He cleaned the wound thoroughly.
Then he took out gauze.
And carefully bandaged it.
The whole process was quiet.
Qin Bing looked at him.
"Did you study medicine before?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No."
Qin Bing frowned.
"Then how are you so proficient?"
Li Wei smiled.
"I learned it by watching videos."
Qin Bing stared at him for a few seconds.
Her gaze remained cold.
"You really didn't study medicine?"
Li Wei tore off the last piece of adhesive tape.
"No."
Qin Bing withdrew her arm.
She glanced at the gauze.
It was bandaged very professionally.
She looked up.
"Thanks."
Her tone was still icy.
But it was softer than it had been at the restaurant.
Li Wei put the first-aid kit back into the trunk.
"Your sister said your mother's condition is not very good?"
Qin Bing's expression instantly turned cold.
"That doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
Li Wei leaned against the car door.
"Paralyzed from a car accident, and the risk of becoming a vegetative state, it's truly distressing."
Qin Bing turned her head.
Her gaze was sharp.
"My sister told you?"
Li Wei nodded.
Qin Bing was silent for a few seconds.
"So what?"
Li Wei smiled.
"Nothing, I was just asking casually. If you need anything, feel free to speak up."
Qin Bing stared at him for a while.
"Speak up, Li Wei! If you think you can trick my sister into being with you using a bit of dirty money, then you are sorely mistaken. I will make you regret it."
After saying that, she pushed open the car door.
Got out of the car.
Closed the door.
Turned and left.
Her high ponytail swayed in the night.
The curves of her figure cast a long shadow under the streetlights.
Li Wei watched her back.
He was stunned for a long while.
This violent wildflower.
She is really straightforward.
Although he did have some feelings for Qin Xue, Qin Bing's hostility towards him was just too much!
He got into the car.
Started the engine.
Just as he was about to reverse.
His phone rang.
An unknown number.
Li Wei answered.
"Hello?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Very gentle.
"May I ask if this is Mr. Li Wei?"
Li Wei paused.
"Yes, it is."
The woman continued.
"I am Murong Wan's assistant. Mrs. Murong would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow at noon."
Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Is there something up?"
The assistant smiled.
"It's about some details regarding the necklace design. Mrs. Murong would like to discuss it with you and Ms. Yang in person."
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"Time and place?"
The assistant gave an address.
"Tomorrow at twelve noon, at the French restaurant 'Rose Manor' in Nanshan District."
Li Wei gave an acknowledging hum.
"I understand."
The assistant continued.
"Then it's settled, Mr. Li, see you tomorrow."
Li Wei hung up the phone.
Backed the car out of the parking spot.
Drove out of the restaurant parking lot.
He wasn't in a rush to return to Seaview No. 1.
Instead, he drove the car to a nearby 24-hour convenience store.
Parked the car.
Walked inside.
There was only one cashier in the store.
It was a young girl.
She was looking down at her phone.
Li Wei walked to the refrigerator.
Grabbed a bottle of iced Coke.
Walked to the checkout counter.
"How much?"
The girl looked up.
Stunned for a moment.
Then she blushed.
"Three... three yuan."
Li Wei scanned to pay.
Unscrewed the cap.
Took a sip.
Walked out of the convenience store.
Leaned against the car door.
Watching the sparse pedestrians on the street.
His mind was occupied by what Qin Xue had said earlier.
Terminal lung cancer.
At most, half a year left.
Li Wei took out his phone.
Opened the system panel.
【host: Li Wei】
【Bank Balance: 6,012,155 Yuan】
【Points: 1500】
【Charm: 77】
【Skills: Beginner Fighting Skill】
【Items: None】
Li Wei looked at his points.
1500 points.
He opened the system store.
【Beginner Medical Skill: 1000 points】
【Intermediate Medical Skill: 5000 points】
【Advanced Medical Skill: 10000 points】
Li Wei frowned.
Beginner Medical Skill definitely couldn't cure paralysis or a vegetative state.
If it were intermediate.
He didn't have enough points.
Unless he were to sleep with Yang Weiwei and Qin Xue, or even Qin Bing right now.
Perhaps he could scrape together five thousand.
But that was an impossible thing.
Li Wei scrolled down.
Suddenly he saw an option.
【Lucky Russian Roulette: 1000 points】
【Description: Spend 1000 points to randomly obtain any item from the system store, with equal probability】
Li Wei's eyes lit up.
This thing.
It was a bit like a lucky draw.
But the risk was high.
He might draw Advanced Medical Skill.
Or he might draw trash.
Li Wei thought about it.
Beginner Medical Skill was useless anyway.
Might as well take a gamble.
Whether they could be saved depended on the sisters' fortune.
Anyway, their mother's condition would worsen sooner or later, so he might as well prepare early.
"Use Russian Roulette."
【Ding! Russian Roulette starting...】
【Points consumed: 1000】
【Remaining points: 500】
A huge roulette wheel appeared on the system panel.
It was densely packed with item names.
Cash, real estate, vehicles, skills, items.
Everything was there.
The roulette started spinning.
The speed became faster and faster.
Li Wei stared at the screen.
His heart rate accelerated.
The roulette slowly decelerated.
The pointer swayed over various items.
Finally.
It stopped on a golden square.
