Chapter 52 A Disease That Grew in the Wrong Place
Liu Xiaoting was in a painful mouth, and upon hearing Li Yi's words, she immediately became furious.
"Pah! What do you know, kid?"
Although Li Yi didn't know what Liu Xiaoting usually did, he was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
I am quite familiar with the patient's condition.
I just accidentally bumped into someone, and now is the time to apologize.
Upon realizing this, Li Yi quickly began to explain in detail.
"Ms. Liu, oral ulcers are mostly caused by excessive internal heat, damp heat in the spleen and stomach, etc., which lead to the breakdown of the oral mucosa and pain. Specifically, they are round or oval mucosal defects."
But the situation in your mouth is clearly different now.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be caused by damp-heat toxins descending and insufficient vital energy leading to **…”
Li Yi only meant to kindly remind Liu Xiaoting to avoid misdiagnosing her symptoms and delaying her treatment, so he said it subconsciously.
However, he suddenly stopped talking.
Wait a minute! How did this disease get into the mouth?
Li Yi was stunned for a long time before he remembered one situation.
When he looked at Liu Xiaoting again, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Liu Xiaoting couldn't understand anything about damp heat, toxins, or insufficient vital energy.
She then noticed Li Yi looking at her strangely. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly seemed to remember something and blushed furiously. "Pah! What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"
"Cough cough..."
Some diseases, though not serious, can be embarrassing if they grow in the wrong place.
However, doctors have a compassionate heart.
Worried that Liu Xiaoting might be delaying her treatment, Li Yi had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue explaining, "Ms. Liu, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and I certainly won't make a wrong diagnosis. You must trust me so that you can receive the correct treatment."
Liu Xiaoting had always thought she had mouth ulcers.
But after hearing what Li Yi had just said, she realized what was going on with her.
However, being exposed like this made Liu Xiaoting feel embarrassed.
"Pah! You dare talk nonsense? This isn't over; I'm calling the police right now!"
Embarrassed and annoyed, Liu Xiaoting immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.
"..."
He had only meant well by pointing out the symptoms in her mouth, but the other person not only didn't appreciate it, but also started bringing up the previous incident again, and even threatened to call the police.
What exactly is going on here?
Li Yi was completely bewildered.
Just then, Wang Tao walked over again.
"Ms. Liu, didn't Xiao Li already apologize to you? I've already topped up your membership card. Let's put this misunderstanding behind us."
What a load of rubbish about membership cards!
If word gets out that I have genital warts, I'll never have the face to come here for beauty treatments again.
The next moment, Liu Xiaoting suddenly understood.
Wait a minute! That kid was deliberately being so blunt just now. Could it be that he was trying to blackmail me and save me the 20,000 yuan?
"You, Wang Tao, you've really got a good plan! I've already called the police. This isn't over!"
what's going on?
They had just agreed on the terms, but in less than two minutes, Liu Xiaoting suddenly changed her mind and even threatened to call the police.
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment. "...Ms. Liu, if you think 20,000 yuan is not enough, we can discuss it further."
What's the point of having a lot of money on your card if you can't use it here?
Liu Xiaoting retorted angrily, "What's there to discuss! Even if I have to risk everything today, I'm going to get the police to raid your brothel!"
"Ms. Liu, you've misunderstood. This is a legitimate beauty salon, and we absolutely do not engage in any illegal activities."
If you have any other requests regarding the misunderstanding, we can discuss them calmly. Why make a scene?
Liu Xiaoting is now convinced that this was a strategy devised by Wang Tao and Li Yi.
So no matter what Wang Tao said, she wouldn't listen.
The soundproofing in the private rooms of the beauty salon was quite good, and the noise in the lobby did not disturb anyone else.
However, soon the sound of sirens wailing came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, two police officers, a man and a woman, walked in.
"What's going on here? Who called the police?"
"Officers, you've come at the perfect time!"
When Liu Xiaoting saw the police arrive, she felt like she had found a powerful backer. "I'm reporting this beauty salon for offering sexual services."
With the police arriving, the situation had escalated significantly.
Wang Tao's face darkened, and she stopped negotiating with Liu Xiaoting. "Officer, this is a legitimate beauty salon. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it."
"Pah! What a load of rubbish! I was working on a project when a guy barged in and saw me completely naked."
As Liu Xiaoting spoke, she pointed at Li Yi, "Officer, that thug was him. You must arrest him and take him back."
Upon hearing the sound, the two police officers immediately looked towards Li Yi.
However, before Li Yi could explain, Wang Tao immediately stood in front of him and said, "Officer, Xiao Li is a TCM technician in our shop. He's not a hooligan. What happened just now was a misunderstanding."
After hearing the conversation between Wang Tao and Liu Xiaoting, the two police officers roughly figured out what had happened.
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
After the male police officer finished speaking, he looked at Wang Tao and asked, "Are you the owner of this beauty salon?"
"That's right, I've been operating here for several years, it's absolutely legitimate."
"Whether it's legitimate or not, we'll know once we've investigated. Xiao Huang, go and check all the rooms here one by one."
"OK."
The other policewoman nodded and then immediately walked towards the private room on the first floor.
Upon seeing this, Wang Tao's face darkened again.
There are quite a few customers working on projects in the store right now. If the police were to search it, it would severely damage its reputation.
However, in order to prove the store's innocence, she now has no way to stop it.
While his colleague was searching, the male police officer looked at Wang Tao again, "Since you say this kid is a technician at your shop, where are his identification documents?"
When Wang Tao helped Li Yi with his onboarding, she made a lot of copies of documents.
Upon hearing the police officer's words, she immediately shouted to Wu Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, go to my office and get all of Xiao Li's identification documents."
"Okay, Sister Tao."
A short while later, Wu Xiaomei ran back with a stack of photocopies.
The male police officer picked it up and examined it carefully; it had everything: ID card, health certificate, and educational certificate.
"You rascal, you really are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
The male police officer glanced at the graduation certificate in his hand, then at Li Yi, and immediately understood.
The other party has complete information, so they should indeed be a technician hired by the store.
Although it's a bit strange that a beauty salon hired a male technician, it's not illegal at all.
