Li Du did not know what was going on with the previous two medicines. As far as he knew, the only medicine for heart disease was nitroglycerin.
However, it was clear that the medicine used by the young master was not the same as nitroglycerin. He had only taken it for a short while, and it had already taken effect.
Steve hesitated a little and said blankly, "What's wrong?"
Soon he reacted and said with a wry smile, "Oh, God, is my heart failure acting up again? I really want to curse. This time it happened so suddenly that I didn't react! "
Li Du asked, "Can I help you up?"
Steve did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Who gave me the medicine?"
Li Du said, "If you're talking about the two bottles in your pocket, then I gave them to you."
Steve asked in surprise, "One needs to be taken by the tongue, and the other needs to be ground. How did you know?"
Li Du said, "I asked a doctor, and she told me I should do it. What's wrong?"
Steve looked at him in surprise, held his wrist and said, "Oh, nothing, I was thinking about something unrelated. Help me, I don't have any strength now …"
Li Du helped him to sit on a chair, and seeing that he was all right, the security guards left.
Then another car drove up, and a man in a white coat hurried in. Almost at the same time, there was the sound of a helicopter in the air. Obviously, this was the ambulance helicopter.
The doctor took Steve to the helicopter, leaving Li Du alone in the collection room. On the table in front of him was a dodo specimen that was worth millions of dollars.
"If I were a thief, I would be a billionaire today," Li Du said.
After a while, Mr. Elson came back. When he saw Li Du, he held his hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Li. Thank you so much. You saved me!"
Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be excited, old man, you flatter me."
Elson shook his hands and continued to say excitedly, "No, no, no, nothing can express my gratitude to you now, Mr. Li. You saved Steve, and you saved me."
The two men shook their hands together, and Li Du was inexplicably reminded of the oil paintings of the Jinggang Mountain Meeting.
Elson's attitude toward him was no exaggeration. After a while, Steve called him back and sighed, "Li, you saved my life."
Li Du said, "This is what I should do. Let it go."
Steve said, "How can we let it go? You saved my life. The doctor told me that I was in shock at the time, and my heart was severely undersupplied with blood. If it had been ten to fifteen minutes later, I would have been brain dead! "
He did not exaggerate the danger. According to the doctor's diagnosis, his heart failure had appeared very quickly this time. Because he had been in a state of excitement after getting the dodo bird specimen, his heart had stopped working.
Unlike before, he didn't experience dizziness, nor did he have time to take medicine before he passed out.
Fortunately, Li Du showed up at the right time. It was a coincidence. If he had shown up later and Elson was not in the villa, Steve would have been in trouble.
Over the phone, Steve sighed. "That's why I didn't go to Flagstaff and asked you to come to Boston. My heart condition hasn't been too good recently. I can't take a plane, let alone travel long distances."
Li Du comforted him. "Don't talk, man. Take a break. This thing is really over. You're fine now, and you'll be fine in the future."
Steve laughed. "Yes, God will not be so harsh on me. After this disaster, things will be smooth for a while. But you're in trouble."
Li Du asked, "What is it?"
Steve said, "Elson said you kicked the door open to save me? And you kicked one of the doors down? "
Li Du said, "Did I? I didn't pay attention at the time. "
Steve said, "Yes, you're in trouble. This house is the old residence of a famous person. I only have the right to live in it, not to own it. The state government owns it …"
"No way, I'll be charged with destroying a state-protected building?" Li Du interrupted him and gasped. He suddenly thought of the problem.
Steve continued to laugh. "Yes, the state government will do that."
Li Du said gloomily, "Why do I feel like you're gloating?"
Steve laughed. "No, I'm laughing very happily."
"Why?"
"Because there's a demon living in my broken heart. He wants to destroy this house that the state government and the city government strictly require to protect. He's very happy that you did it for him."
Steve was naturally joking with him. He did destroy a government-protected building, but his family would settle the matter.
What he really regretted was that he could not entertain Li Du tonight, nor for the next few days. He had to be hospitalized for treatment and observation.
Steve invited Li Du to stay in Boston for a few more days, saying that Elson would make arrangements for him and make him feel at home.
Li Du could not stay. He had a lot of things to do in Flagstaff. He had to take care of Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles, visit Ah Ow, and deal with the mahogany.
After listening to his explanation, Steve sighed and said, "Well, then I owe you a big, big favor."
Li Du said, "Don't think too much, man. You don't owe me anything. I did what I had to do. It's what a man has to do. But if you still want to treat me to dinner, I'll wait until you're safely discharged, and I'll come anytime. "
Steve laughed. "Haha, it's a deal. We'll meet again!"
"In China's words, we'll meet again!" Li Du said.
"We'll meet again!"
Elson arranged a guest room for him at the villa and personally sent him to the airport the next day.
On the way, the old man asked, "Li, are you Chinese? Are you an overseas Chinese or? "
"I'm from China. I haven't applied for immigration yet," Li Du replied.
Elson asked, "Then do you intend to apply for immigration? If you apply for immigration, we might be able to help you in some ways. "
Li Du said, "I haven't decided on that yet."
Elson advised, "If you don't mind, I suggest you apply for immigration and join the Committee of 100."
After hearing this, Li Du asked in surprise, "Join the Committee of 100? How can I join the Committee of 100? "
The Committee of 100 was an organization that most Chinese-Americans had heard of. It had only been around for 20 years, but it had a high status. It was an elite Chinese-American organization, and it was also the highest-ranking Chinese organization in the International Freemasonry.
Although it was called the Committee of 100, there were more than a hundred members. Currently, there were about 130 members, all of whom were Chinese enough to be valued by the President of the United States.
Among them, the founders of the organization were the Chinese Freemasonry collector, master sculptor, and level 33 member, Ou Zhenyuan, and the Freemasonry member, musician Song Peng. The other members were either wealthy or of high status.
Li Du might have made a lot of money, but whether in terms of status or net worth, he was worlds apart from the members!
