344 Shopping for Needles
“Shifu, are you going?”
After the call ended, Gao Huiren asked the obvious.
“Yes, of course I’m going. It’s such a good chance to do free publicity. Why would I miss it?”
Qin Xi stuffed the invitation letter into her bag with a smile. She looked at the time and felt that it was about time.
“Alright, I still have something to deal with. Old Master Qi, your condition has stabilized. Go back and try to stand up to exercise. Don’t overdo it. Just do the right amount.”
Old Master Qi nodded slightly. “Young divine doctor, go ahead. We won’t be staying long.”
Gao Huiren immediately said, “Shifu, if you have something to do, go ahead. Brother Liu and I will discuss the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique. Don’t worry about the clinic. We can take care of it.”
Qin Xi nodded. “Alright, I’ll leave first and come back early in the afternoon.”
Just as she was about to leave, Qi Mingting, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Young divine doctor, I heard that Money King was put in jail. It was Captain Li who did it. After Money King was jailed, Captain Li was convicted of many crimes. He’s now locked up with Money King. Do you know about this?”
Qin Xi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Qi Mingting with a casual smile. “Mr. Qi, what do you mean? Does it have anything to do with me if they are jailed or not?”
“Young divine doctor, you’ve misunderstood. Mingting only wants to tell you this news. I heard that you once had a conflict with the two of them. Now that they’re in jail, it can be considered good news.”
Old Master Qi quickly tried to smooth things over.
However, he knew very well that Qin Xi was not simple and could not be provoked, especially after knowing that she was involved in the matter between Money King and Captain Li.
Qi Mingting did not know why his father was so humble when facing Qin Xi. This made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, someone who could become the head of the Qi family was by no means a pushover. How could he dare to provoke someone his father didn’t dare to provoke?
He immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Young Divine Doctor. I was rude just now.”
Qin Xi waved her hand and left in the taxi without saying anything.
Qin Xi didn’t have anything important to attend to. She just wanted to go out and shop around to see if there was a good set of acupuncture needles. She couldn’t keep using the cheap one.
With Gao Huiren staying in the clinic, she was not worried.
After asking the taxi driver where she could find acupuncture needles, the driver pointed out a place and the two of them went straight there.
On the other side of the street, in a low-key car, the man’s eyes flashed and he said in a low voice, “Chen Ming, follow that taxi. Don’t get caught.”
The driver, Chen Ming, responded, “Yes, Young Master.”
When they arrived at a shop that specialized in medical equipment, Qin Xi paid and got out of the car. She looked at the shop and went in.
Gu Qing looked around the shop and said to Chen Ming, “Go back. I’ll walk around on my own.”
“Welcome. What can I get you, Miss?”
There were almost no customers in the shop. As soon as Qin Xi entered, a sweet-looking saleswoman welcomed her.
“Do you have silver needles here? If the material is not silver, it’s fine. Do you have any?”
Qin Xi looked around the shop and saw that it was basically filled with medical equipment for Western medicine. She was immediately extremely disappointed, but she still asked, hoping that they had some acupuncture needles in stock.
Unfortunately, the saleswoman shook her head apologetically. “I’m sorry, Miss. We only sell Western medical equipment here.”
