Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 109 You Smell Good

The streets were busy and the sun was baking the city, bringing not only heat, but also restlessness.

Ning Tao came out of the office building of Blueprint Biotechnology Company. He had not gone far when a woman came up to him. Her green dress and embroidered cloth shoes were a complete contrast to the fas.h.i.+onable girls in short skirts and hot pants on the street.

It was Qing Zhui. She had been around Ning Tao all the time. She wouldn't have shown up if Ning Tao hadn't called her.

Maybe it was because of Qing Zhui that Tang Tianren had some scruples about taking action. If Ning Tao were alone, Tang Tianren and people of the Tang Sect would probably have taken more aggressive action.

Qing Zhui held an ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and sliced strawberries. When she got next to Ning Tao, she didn't say anything, but just kept licking the ice cream. Her pretty and delicate small mouth, and flexible small tongue attracted the attention of many pa.s.sers-by.

"Why are you also eating ice cream?" Ning Tao looked at her small mouth and tiny tongue twirling around the top of the ice cream, feeling a little embarra.s.sed for some reason.

"The ice cream is really good. No wonder Yin Molan always carries an ice cream. It's sweet and fragrant. Well, would you like some?" Qing Zhui put the ice cream beside Ning Tao's mouth.

Ning Tao was in a bit of a pickle. He didn't think it was appropriate to eat the ice cream that Qing Zhui had licked, and if he refused, he worried that she might mistake him for disgusting it because she had licked it. After two seconds of hesitation, he took a small bite of the ice cream, then immediately turned his head away and said, "Yummy, yummy."

"Where are we going now?" Qing Zhui asked while licking the ice cream, her voice a little m.u.f.fled.

"Just stroll along the street and shopping," replied Ning Tao.

"Okay, I want to buy a sports suit and a pair of sports shoes. By the way, I also need to buy two sets of underwear... What colors and styles do you like?"

Puzzled, Ning Tao asked, "It's you who want to buy underwear. Why did you ask me the colors and styles I liked?"

"I want your advice. Don't be shy. Tell me, what colors and styles do you like?"

Ning Tao was speechless.

As they talked, they melted into the crowd.

A young man in a straw hat stopped where they met. With a thin face, bamboo-like figure and sharp eyes, he gave a sense of harsh. He was Tang Suifeng, the disciple of the Tang Sect who kicked down the iron gate of Suns.h.i.+ne Orphanage. Tang was the name given to him by the Tang Sect, and Suifeng meant swiftness.

He always thought his legs were the fastest in the world, and even better than Huang Feihong's Shadowless Kick in the movie, but one of his toes was cut off by the woman. During the retreat, he picked up his toe which had fallen to the ground. Unfortunately, his toe rotted away before he could go to the hospital to have it sewn on. The woman's nails were so poisonous that he had to cut off some of his toe to stay alive.

Tang Suifeng stared in the direction Ning Tao and Qing Zhui were leaving, his eyes full of hate, and a sneer slowly appeared on his lips. He pulled out his cell phone, dialed a number and said, "Young Master Huai, he's gone to Liberating Square..."

Qing Zhui, walking on the sidewalk, stopped and said, "Someone's following us."

Ning Tao said, "I know. Don't worry about him. Let's go on."

"Are they going to take action?" Qing Zhui and Ning Tao walked side by side.

Ning Tao said, "I guess so. I always have a feeling that old Tang Tianren is around here. The reason he hasn't done it, I suspect, is partly because he doesn't know who you are and your power. On the other hand, he hasn't decided where the spiritual soil and grain were. Once he has identified these two points, he will act."

"Should we call Yin Molan? He was there when I bought the ice cream. He bought two," Qing Zhui said, adding, "That guy's rich. He bought the most expensive one."

Ning Tao laughed and said, "Do you want any more? I'll buy it for you."

"Yes, I want the most expensive ice cream, too." Qing Zhui looked very happy.

After laughing for a while, Ning Tao took out his cell phone and made a phone call.

"h.e.l.lo, Ning Tao, it's rare for you to call me. I invited you here for drinks twice before and you didn't come. Why did you call me today?" Fan Huaying's voice came from the phone, sounding happy and friendly.

Ning Tao replied, "I never do anything without a reason. I want to ask you a favor."

"We are good friends. Don't be so polite to me. Just tell me what I can do for you?"

Ning Tao said, "Help me invite some people."

"Eh? For what?"

"A charity party," Ning Tao replied. "You find me some weighty, sick businessmen and celebrities. I'll treat them, and they donate money to build an orphanage for children who have no parents."

"No problem, give me three days," Fan Huaying said.

Ning Tao inquired, "Tomorrow night, okay?"

"Your business is also mine. It has to be no problem. I'll call Wushuang and we'll fly to you. You don't know, if she hadn't come back, and accepted an acting role, she would have flown over to you."

Ning Tao laughed and said, "It will be even better if Wushuang comes. Call me when you arrive and I'll meet you at the airport."

"Okay, that's settled. See you tomorrow."

"Goodbye." Ning Tao hung up and found Zou Yulin's number. Before he could dial, a familiar voice came from the front.

"Master Ning! You shop for yourself?" Zou Yulin, in a suit and tie, trotted out of a newly opened luxury store. His voice arrived before he came to Ning Tao.

Talk of the devil and he will appear.

Ning Tao put away his phone, his face expressionless, and said, "Can someone do the shopping for you?"

Zou Yulin was a little awkward and nervous, but he was clever enough to change the subject immediately. "Oh, this must be Master Ning's girlfriend. You're so stunning."

Qing Zhui looked at Zou Yulin with a nice smile and said, "No, I'm not. But I think you look delicious."

Zou Yulin was stunned on the spot and looked puzzled. Of course, he didn't know that Qing Zhui meant refining him, turning his bones into ashes that left no residue when the wind blew. What was more, he didn't know that Qing Zhui was a snake demon who specializes in killing evil people like him. If he knew that, he probably wouldn't dare look at Qing Zhui, let alone speak to her.

Ning Tao said matter-of-factly, "Qing Zhui, don't scare him."

"Okay," Qing Zhui agreed, looking docile and obedient.

Ning Tao continued, "Zou Yulin, I was just going to call you."

"Master Ning, you..." Zou Yulin suddenly got tenser. "What did you want to call me about?"

Ning Tao glared at him. "Why are you so nervous? Have you done something bad lately?"

"No, no, no, I've cleaned up my act. I'm doing the honest business now. Look, that's my new luxury store." Zou Yulin pointed back to the luxury store where he just came out. The storefront was grand, with exquisite and upscale decoration. Obviously, it was not the place that ordinary people could go to spend money.

Ning Tao didn't mean to be mean to him, but he couldn't be nice to bad guys like Zou Yulin. It was easy to get Zou Yulin to do things for him when he looked menacing.

"It's good to clean up your act. Well, help me find a place for a fancy charity party. I'll hold an auction. Well, it will be better if there is room for people to sing and dance," Ning Tao said.

Zou Yulin thought for a moment and muttered, "A charity party, auction, and the room for singing and dancing... I remember, there is a place called North River Art House where has held several charity activities. The place is very large and upscale. It's an appropriate place."

Ning Tao said, "Can you rent it for me for a day? Tomorrow, money is not a problem."

Zou Yulin gave him an ingratiating smile and said, "Don't mention money, I know the boss of North River Art House. I helped him before, so as long as I make a phone call, he dares not refuse!"

This time Ning Tao didn't yell at him. "One more thing, help me to see if there is any suitable land. It doesn't have to be very big, as long as it is large enough to build an orphanage."

Zou Yulin paused slightly, "Is Suns.h.i.+ne Orphanage moving?"

"Someone bought that land," Ning Tao said. "Suns.h.i.+ne Orphanage has been torn down."

"d.a.m.n it! Who did it? Master Ning, who's that buyer? As long as you ask me, I'll deal with him right now!" Zou Yulin had a sinister look in his eyes and an evil aura around him.

Ning Tao glared at him. "Again? It's out of your hands. Just help me do these two things."

"Yes, yes, I'll immediately contact the boss of North River Art House," Zou Yulin said.

Qing Zhui suddenly put out her tongue out and smiled. "You smell good."

Zou Yulin replied carefully, "Oh, it's an imported perfume from France."

Qing Zhui had a mysterious smile on her face, and the fragrance she meant was the evil energy emanating from Zou Yulin.

Ning Tao said, "Zou Yulin, go and do it."

"Okay, okay, wait for my good news. Master Ning, Miss Qing, goodbye." With that, Zou Yulin bowed deeply to Ning Tao and Qing Zhui.

When Ning Tao was going to leave, Qing Zhui took his hand and said, "Brother Ning, didn't you accompany me out shopping for clothes? Let's go to Mr. Zou's store. Mr. Zou, give me a discount later."

Zou Yulin immediately said, "Discount? Take what you like, Miss Qing!"

Before Ning Tao said yes, Qing Zhui took Ning Tao's hand and headed for Zou Yulin's luxury store.

Ning Tao knew what was on her mind, but couldn't say it out, so he went in with her. As he approached the door, he glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction in which he had come. A tall, thin young man in a straw hat came into his sight. A sneer played across Ning Tao's lips as he stepped into Zou Yulin's luxury store.

"Why are you all standing like wooden posts? This is Master Ning!" Zou Yulin scolded his staff.

"Welcome, Master Ning!" All the staff in luxury stores bowed to Ning Tao.

Half an hour later, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui walked out of Zou Yulin's luxury store. Ning Tao was empty-handed, but Qing Zhui carried at least four shopping bags in both hands, each of which was full.

"You are greedy, you have taken so much from him." Ning Tao couldn't help but scold Qing Zhui.

"For a wicked man like him, he didn't come by the money honestly," Qing Zhui said with a smile. "I'm doing him a good turn by taking his things."

Ning Tao was speechless. "Let me get that for you."

"How can I ask you to carry things for me? I'll take them myself. Where are we going now?" she asked.

Ning Tao replied, "Now you can't eat ice cream. Let's go back to the clinic. I have to refine some delicate perfumed cream for tomorrow evening's auction. Besides, Tang Tianren has been waiting for me to go back to the place he wants to know? I'll show him the way and see if he dares come."
