Chapter 6: Qi Ruoxue

~7 min read 1,267 words

"Cut the crap, hand over the money!"

Wang Zhenhai glared at Ye Feng and shouted loudly. With Li Zhongshuo's silent support, he was not afraid in the slightest; his demeanor was no different from a bandit.

"I cured the person myself, what does it have to do with your hospital? Why should I give you money!"

"Ling'er, let's go!"

Ye Feng looked at Wang Zhenhai and Li Zhongshuo with icy eyes. He was now completely disappointed in this hospital. Treating human life like grass and charging malicious prices—what medical ethics were there to speak of!

Wang Zhenhai still blocked the three of them relentlessly: "No, you cannot leave!"

At this moment, Li Zhongshuo waved his hand and said to Wang Zhenhai: "Zhenhai, let them go."

"Director, this..."

"Let them go!"

Li Zhongshuo did not look at Wang Zhenhai again, but turned his gaze toward Ye Feng.

He stared fixedly at Ye Feng, not knowing what he was thinking, and then a kind smile appeared on his aged face: "You may go!"

Ye Feng frowned; his subconscious told him that this old thing was definitely up to no good.

"What a poor wretch, can't even cough up twenty thousand yuan. Since you're allowed to leave, hurry up and get out, don't be an eyesore here!"

Wang Zhenhai stepped aside. Since the director chose to let them leave, he had no other choice.

"Let's go!"

Ye Feng frowned, then walked out of the ward with Ye Linger while supporting Shen Yurou.

Not until the three had left did Li Zhongshuo take his gaze off Ye Feng, and Wang Zhenhai also withdrew his gaze from Ye Linger.

Wang Zhenhai looked astonished: "Director, are we just going to let them go like this?"

Li Zhongshuo glanced at Wang Zhenhai: "Do you have your eye on that young girl?"

Wang Zhenhai scratched his head and said with a look of regret: "Nothing escapes your wise eyes, sir!"

Indeed, he had his eye on Ye Linger.

This Ye Linger had a pure face and a curvaceous figure; she was the most exquisite woman he had ever seen, bar none!

Originally, he wanted to start with Shen Yurou's condition, inflate the medical fees, and then step in himself to waive a portion, hoping to gain favor and slowly win over Ye Linger.

This trick worked every time; he rarely failed.

Who would have thought that a meddler would appear halfway? The medical fees were a small matter, but he had ruined the whole plan!

Li Zhongshuo frowned, said nothing more, and asked: "What is the actual medical fee for this bed?"

Wang Zhenhai thought for a moment and said: "About three thousand three hundred and twenty-something."

"You really had the nerve to ask for over twenty thousand!"

"Give me the original bill; I will help you one last time!"

After saying this, Li Zhongshuo walked out of the ward.

In the corridor, Li Zhongshuo frowned and muttered to himself: "A successor of the Ghost Doctor Sect?"

"I didn't expect you to reappear in the world. This time, I must completely eradicate you!"

Outside the hospital, Ye Feng hailed a taxi, helped Shen Yurou inside, and said: "Mom, you and Ling'er go home first. I'm going to buy some Chinese medicine to help you recover."

Shen Yurou patted Ye Feng's hand and instructed: "Alright, drive slowly on the road, watch out for traffic!"

After watching the taxi drive away, Ye Feng also turned and left the hospital.

Walking on the street, watching the cars coming and going, Ye Feng lit a cigarette.

Now, his mother's condition was basically stable. He only needed to improve his strength, find a Millennium Ginseng, and combine it with the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles to completely resolve his mother's problem!

But a Millennium Ginseng was not that easy to find.

At least in Tianhai City, Ye Feng had never heard of one.

Now, he could only try his luck at the Renyang Great Pharmacy.

This was the largest Chinese pharmacy in Tianhai, containing all kinds of rare medicinal herbs.

Moreover, the Renyang Great Pharmacy was backed by the Qi Family, and its head, Qi Jingfu, was hailed as the number one miracle doctor in Tianhai. If he could get to know him, perhaps there would be a way to obtain a Millennium Ginseng.

Unknowingly, Ye Feng had already walked to the entrance of the Renyang Great Pharmacy. Looking at the magnificent plaque cast in gold, Ye Feng sighed in his heart: "It's really good to be rich!"

Walking into the pharmacy, Ye Feng was once again shocked by the grandeur inside!

Who would have thought that a pharmacy could be built as luxuriously as a royal palace!

Since it had just opened in the morning, there were no customers inside, only a young beauty who was resting her chin on her hand, playing with her phone in boredom.

Seeing Ye Feng walk in, the young beauty looked up, glanced at him, and said in surprise: "Ye Feng? It really is you!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Feng shifted his gaze to her. When he saw the girl's face, he also exclaimed: "Qi Ruoxue?"

"Why are you here?"

Qi Ruoxue scratched her head and said with a smile: "I... I'm here helping out."

Then, she added: "Long time no see!"

Ye Feng looked up and smiled, some past events flashing through his mind: "Yeah, it has been quite a while."

He and Qi Ruoxue were high school classmates, and the two had even sat together for two years; their relationship was very good.

However, after graduation, the two had very little contact.

Seeing her again now, Ye Feng was both surprised and happy.

He walked to the front desk and said to Qi Ruoxue: "Since you're helping out here, do you have paper and a pen? I'll write a prescription, please help me fill it."

Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed across Qi Ruoxue's face. She handed over paper and a pen and asked: "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

Ye Feng took the paper and pen and said while writing: "Someone in my family is sick, but it's not a big problem; it's basically been resolved."

After finishing, Ye Feng handed over the prescription.

Qi Ruoxue took the prescription, looked at it, and asked with a frown, "What kind of illness requires a Millennium Ginseng? We don't have one of such a high age here; we do have a century-old one, but the price is quite expensive—it's over eight thousand per gram!"

"Then let's just swap it for a regular one for now."

Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly; he hadn't expected the price of ginseng to be so high!

Moreover, this was only a century-old ginseng; if it were a Millennium Ginseng, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands to buy a single gram?

"Alright, wait a moment."

After taking one last glance at the prescription, Qi Ruoxue turned around and began to gather the herbs according to what was written on the paper.

A moment later, she returned to Ye Feng with the prepared medicinal herbs: "Here, it's five hundred and fifty-eight in total."

Ye Feng took the herbs, took out his phone, and scanned the payment over.

Immediately after, Ye Feng asked again, "Do you know where there might be a Millennium Ginseng?"

Qi Ruoxue tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know either, but I can help you ask my grandfather; he might know."

Ye Feng frowned and asked in confusion, "Your grandfather?"

Qi Ruoxue widened her eyes, looking incredulous: "Qi Jingfu, you didn't know?"
