On the third floor of the villa.

Ye Chen finally met Shen Mengjia’s father. The latter was lying in bed with a drip in his arm, his eyes tightly shut and his lips purple, his body stick-thin.

There were no signs of life emanating from him at all.

This was a man with one foot already in the coffin. No mortal medicine could save him!

Ye Chen could even sense an aura of death on him! It had nearly filled his entire chest!

Once it went past his head, even the gods above would not be able to save him!

When she saw Ye Chen shake his head, Shen Mengjia walked to his side and explained, “My dad has been really busy with his business these past few years, so he neglected his health. When he went for a check last month, they suddenly found that he had terminal lung cancer. We went to the best hospitals overseas for some treatment, but it didn’t work. The doctors said he only had three days left to live. After that, we somehow managed to invite Miracle Doctor Qiu from the capital, which was why we could keep Dad alive until now.

“But yesterday, Miracle Doctor Qiu told me that my dad may only have one day left to live. Sigh…

“Thankfully, my mom doesn’t know about this yet. I hope you can help me hide it from her, please. I’ll make sure to pay you in full.”

Ye Chen was about to say something when a wealthy-looking woman in a qipao hurriedly rushed toward them, an old man in a white coat following behind her.

It went without saying that this rich-looking woman was Shen Mengjia’s mother, and the person he was supposed to lie to.

As for the old man in the white coat, he was probably the one Shen Mengjia called Miracle Doctor Qiu.

Madam Shen walked up to Shen Mengjia and promptly burst into tears, hugging her tightly as she wailed, “Jiajia, I just heard Miracle Doctor Qiu say that Haihua doesn’t have much time left. Is that true? If Haihua dies, why should I keep living?!”

Shen Mengjia widened her beautiful eyes and looked straight at Miracle Doctor Qiu, who was next to them.

Before she left, she had clearly come to an agreement with Miracle Doctor Qiu! She told him not to tell her mother!

So what was happening here?!

She was caught completely off-guard!

Miracle Doctor Qiu stood up and said frankly, “Miss Shen, I’m sorry but I can’t take that money of yours. This is a life at stake, and we doctors must be responsible for our own words.”

“You…” Shen Mengjia was so angry she was about to explode!

This old coot was despicable! He had agreed to her deal before she left, but he betrayed her as soon as she left the house!

Just then, a young man of about thirty walked out as well.

It was none other than Shen Mengjia’s half-brother from another mother, Shen Menglong!

“Mengjia, you should be honest! Birth, sickness, old age, and death are all natural parts of human life, so why would you try to hide it from Mom? Dad’s almost on his way, and I even arranged for a funeral home already. When the time comes, let’s send Dad off with a bang.”

As soon Shen Menglong appeared, she understood perfectly well what had happened!

That man had always wanted to inherit their father’s wealth. After their father died, the three of them were supposed to share his inheritance equally!

However, if her mother died from the trauma as well, he would naturally earn a larger cut!

How despicable! How disgusting!

Madam Shen was already sobbing uncontrollably, and Shen Menglong’s words nearly made her faint!

Thankfully, Miracle Doctor Qiu pressed the acupuncture point between her nose and her lips, waking her up.

Looking at Old Master Shen lying in the room, Miracle Doctor Qiu sighed deeply and tried to console her, saying, “My deepest condolences, Madam.”

Madam Shen fell apart completely and even threw herself at the wall!

“Haihua, wait for me!”

Shen Mengjia’s expression turned to one of panic, and she tried to stop her mother, but she was too late! Her mother was too far away!

While Shen Menglong and Miracle Doctor Qiu were closer to Madam Shen, they had no intention of stopping her! They even smiled arrogantly!

Monsters! You two monsters!

Shen Mengjia’s eyes were bloodshot and her fists clenched tight. In fact, she held them so tightly that her nails dug into her skin and a trail of blood trickled down.

She was perfectly aware that the Shen family could very well fall apart right now! They might even lose two lives in one night!

“What to do? Just what can I do?”

At the most critical moment, something happened to take all of them by surprise.

A black shadow flashed past, and in an instant, a pair of large hands appeared out of nowhere, grabbing hold of the suicidal Madam Shen.

“I can heal the man inside that room!”

…

Just then, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Everyone was staring at the owner of those large hands!

He was a young man of unassuming looks.

The clothes on his back did not even add up to two hundred yuan.

Shen Mengjia looked at her mother, who Ye Chen had saved from her suicide attempt. The girl heaved a sigh of relief and was about to thank him, but when she heard his bold declaration, all she could feel was a headache coming on!

‘The ruse is clearly already over, so why are you still bluffing?!

‘Are you an idiot?

‘Can’t you read the current situation?’

Madam Shen raised her head and stared unblinkingly at Ye Chen, even gripping his hand tightly as she asked, “You… Young man… Can you really heal Haihua? For real?”

Ye Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Just then, Shen Menglong laughed from beside them. “Mom, would you really believe a charlatan like him? Dad has terminal stage lung cancer, and no one in all of Huaxia… No, in all of the world has ever been healed from that. How could this punk save him?

“Also, just look at this kid! He barely has a whisker on his face, and yet he says he can treat people? What a joke! Even Miracle Doctor Qiu said it’s hopeless, so what can this kid do?”

Ye Chen was calm as he said, “Others can’t save him, but that doesn’t mean that I, Ye Chen, can’t!”

Miracle Doctor Qiu stepped up as well, demanding, “Kid, do you have a medical license? Which school did you graduate from? I might even have taught your dean.”

Ye Chen shook his head. “I never went to medical school.”

With that, both Miracle Doctor Qiu and Shen Menglong burst out laughing.

“You don’t even have a medical license, and yet you want to treat the patient? Why don’t you go heal your momma?”

As soon as those words were spoken, a gust of powerful wind seemed to blow around them!

“Smack!”

Shen Menglong was slapped directly on the face! His body was instantly sent flying! He even crashed into the large marble pillar.

Shen Menglong was stunned, holding his face and staring at Ye Chen intently as he roared, “How dare you slap me! Do you have any idea who I am?”

Ye Chen looked down his nose at Shen Menglong and said in an icy voice, “Say that again and I’ll kill you!”

Everyone had a landmine that could not be touched, and for Ye Chen, it was his parents!

Shen Menglong was too terrified to speak!

Those eyes seemed to swallow his entire body whole!

They were unbelievably cold, like the eyes of a death god!

Ye Chen looked at the people next to him, all of whom were frozen in shock. “If you want me to heal the person in there, I can. But my consultation fee is ten million.”

Everyone there took a sharp intake of breath.

He wanted ten million before he even began treating the patient?

That was quite the price.

Shen Mengjia hurried up to him and whispered to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, you can cut the act now. You’ve done enough already, I’ll give you a hundred thousand once we leave this place…”

Ye Chen ignored her completely.

Even Miracle Doctor Qiu could not stand by and watch this any longer, harrumphing coldly. “Ten million, huh? What a haughty demand. Do you really think of yourself as Hua Tuo?”

Ye Chen looked at everyone and explained, “Sorry, you misunderstood me. The ten million is only for me to wake him up. If you want me to heal him completely, there will be another extra procedure, and that will cost you fifty million. That’s non-negotiable.”
