"Tommy! Arthur!"
John Shelby suddenly ran down the stairs anxiously.
" What happened?!"
Tommy's heart skipped a beat.
Did something happen to Finn?
"The fever has subsided!"
John's face was red as he said excitedly," Finn's fever has subsided. He just called my name. He's awake!”
"Really?"
Tommy stood up excitedly and ran upstairs with Arthur.
" So fast?!"
Frank was equally surprised.
Although he knew that Su Xiu's medical skills were extremely amazing, it had not even been an hour since the treatment began!
This was no longer within the scope of medical skills!
Could it be that Su Xiu's medical skills were just a disguise and that he was actually using witchcraft from the East?
Soon, Tommy, who had personally confirmed that Finn's fever had subsided, returned downstairs.
"Mr. Smith, no matter what, the Shelby family will never forget your help!”
Tommy walked up to Su Xiushen with an excited expression and bowed solemnly to thank him.
"No need to thank me."
Su Xiu knocked on the table and said calmly," Since poor little Finn is out of danger, let's talk about the cost of treatment.”
The three Shelby brothers 'faces stiffened. They looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Since you came to find me, you must have heard of my reputation.”
Su Xiu said slowly as if he did not see their embarrassment.
"Yes."
Arthur secretly poked Tommy from behind, making the thin young man feel a little helpless. He had to say carefully," We've heard of Mr. Su's reputation. People say that Mr. Su is a miracle doctor who can cure hundreds of people. But…"
"But what?"
Su Xiu asked with interest.
"It's just that the treatment is a little expensive."
Tommy hesitated for a long time, and his voice became lower and lower." Each treatment costs a thousand pounds..."
Although no one doubted the name of the miracle doctor, the treatment fee of 1,000 pounds still made the toiling masses in London flinch.
After all, 1,000 pounds was a huge amount of wealth that ordinary people could only accumulate after not eating or drinking for 20 years!
"Then, do you have money?"
Su Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery." Although a single treatment for rabies only costs 1,000 pounds, it requires two courses of treatment, which means it costs 2,000 pounds.”
"Sepsis is different from rabies. You know how dangerous it is. Therefore, the treatment of leukemia was more expensive. A single treatment would cost two thousand pounds.”
"According to the condition, you need at least two to three courses of treatment.”
" At least four thousand pounds…"
The three brothers were in despair.
Where did they get four thousand pounds!
Five hundred pounds could buy a mansion in London, but a single treatment cost four mansions.
And if he wanted to completely cure it, he would need at least eight mansions!
If they really had that much money, they wouldn't have come to piccadilly alone to ask Su Xiu for help!
"So…"
Su Xiu knocked on the table." How are you going to pay for this treatment? Is it cash or a check?"
"We don't have money."
Tommy gritted his teeth.
"Oh?"
Su Xiu said faintly," Can I take your words as a threat?”
Frank glanced at Su Xiu and remained silent.
She quietly reached her hand under the table.
"That's not what I meant."
Tommy hurriedly explained," We don't have money now, but please give us some time. We will definitely pay you back!”
"How?"
Su Xiu interrupted him mercilessly." What do the three of you do? How much is your weekly salary?"
"We…"
Tommy opened his mouth, but soon fell silent.
"We work at the dock."
Arthur Shelby said in a muffled voice," If you do a good job, you can get eighteen shillings a week..."
"Eighteen shillings?"
Su Xiu interrupted him." My maid's weekly salary is 20 shillings. That means you'll pay me back every week. You can't even let me pay the maid.”
"There are three of us."
John couldn't help but ask.
"I have four maids."
Su Xiu glanced at him and said calmly," Aside from the maid, there are also the footmen, butler, coachman, and gardener who want me to pay them. There is also a 1,200-acre manor that needs to be maintained.”
John Shelby lowered his head silently and took off his hat to cover his face.
Then, he stabbed his second brother in the back.
The corner of Tommy's mouth twitched slightly. What could he do?
"Don't play dead."
Su Xiu looked straight at the three of them." How do you plan to pay me?”
"I…"
Tommy was silent for a long time before he slowly said," We can't repay this treatment fee, so..."
"So?"
Su Xiu narrowed his eyes.
"So, what does Mr. Smith want us to do?”
Tommy took a deep breath and said in a deep voice," As long as we can pay for this treatment, we are willing to do anything.”
Tommy's tone was firm and decisive, and his eyes were extremely firm without any hesitation.
"Smart."
Su Xiu looked at Tommy with admiration.
Although he was still young, Tommy Shelby was undoubtedly a smart person.
He knew very well that the three of them had no way to repay Su Xiu's treatment fees.
Therefore, the key to the problem was not what they had, but what Su Xiu wanted.
"Yes!"
Arthur hurriedly said," Me too. I'm willing to do anything, Mr. Smith!”
"Me too!"
Seeing this, John hurriedly agreed." I can be your valet, Mr. Su."”
"What do I need a footman for?"
Su Xiu's eyes were filled with disdain as he rejected the other party's unreasonable request.
"What does Mr. Smith want us to do?”
Tommy stopped the blabbermouth John and asked.
"You just said that you work at the dock, right?”
Su Xiu rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before asking.
"Yes."
"I guess your job at the dock isn't hard labor, right?”
"We…"
Tommy hesitated. "We're from the mafia. We're guarding the warehouse at the dock to prevent anyone from causing trouble.”
He knew that with his identity, it would not be difficult for this gentleman in front of him to investigate.
Therefore, it was better to be honest.
"Gangsters."
Su Xiu said with interest," So, you're very good at fighting?”
"We're from Birminghamshire,"
Tommy met Su Xiu's gaze and said seriously," Arthur is our local boxing champion. Although John and I can't compare to Arthur, we should be able to fight.”
He knew very well that Mr. Smith wanted them to show their value.
Although being able to fight wasn't of much value, it was the only thing they could offer.
"Perfect."
Su Xiu nodded and said casually," I still have a few guards guarding the house. Are you guys in?"”
"Then, there is only one answer!"
Tommy Shelby took a deep breath and suddenly knelt on one knee and lowered his head." I will be loyal to you.”
