Chapter 246 - Not a Penny Less
The story starts in Chapter 246 of "City's Best Divine Doctor": Ye Qiu learned from his lingering consciousness that back then, even if he hadnât stood... Donât miss it!
Ye Qiu learned from his lingering consciousness that back then, even if he hadnât stood up to save Su Luoluo, the middle-aged man driving the car was very likely coming for him.
Just like the young man now.
However, Ye Qiu hadnât seen the two men from the car again.
âA B-level killer?â
âQiu, he just admitted it,â
Cai Yong said.
Ye Qiu and Cai Yong entered the room, finding the young man beaten bloody by Cai Yongâs underlings.
But Ye Qiu didnât feel an ounce of pity.
If he hadnât reacted quickly and been a bit more skilled, he would have been dead by the roadside now.
âSpeak, who sent you to kill me?â
âI donât know, I only received half the bounty.
The other half hasnât been paid yet.â
As a killer, Song Yang knew that failing a mission always came with the risk of death.
Upon receiving the targetâs information, he had assumed it would be an easy job given his current killer level.
After ordering Cai Yong and his underlings to leave, Ye Qiu kicked the young man in the chest.
He spat out blood, almost staining Ye Qiuâs clothes.
Song Yang fell to the ground with the chair, but he didnât make a sound.
He knew the consequences of failure were like this.
âDo you believe I wonât kill you right now?â
Song Yang remained silent, realizing he had underestimated this young man.
This guy was way tougher than he had imaginedâan SSS-level killer would be needed to take him out.
âAre you really saying you donât know who wants me dead?â
Song Yang could only nod with difficulty.
âIâll let you go, but you have to find out who the mastermind is!â
Ye Qiu didnât intend to kill Song Yang, or else he wouldnât have brought him here; he would have let him die on the road.
While Song Yang was still puzzled, he noticed his pain was gone and the ropes were untied.
âDonât think I canât find you.
You have one week to identify the employer!â
As he released Song Yang, his gun and other weapons werenât returned, and he didnât get his car back either.
Cai Yong didnât expect Ye Qiu to let the man go like that.
âIâm off.
If you need anything, call me.â
Ye Qiu took his electric bike from the trunk and rode away.
He returned to the old neighborhood around two in the morning.
Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue were already asleep, so Ye Qiu didnât disturb them.
He took his clothes to the bathroom, showered, and went to bed.
Around seven in the morning, Ye Qiu woke up to his phone ringing.
Seeing who it was, he answered,
âWhat is it?â
Ye Qiu asked.
Zhao Rubing didnât expect Ye Qiu to sound so cold.
She replied, âWhen did you get back last night?â
âAround two.â
âHey, you groped me all over last night and now youâre being so cold.
Iâll tell my sister so she never talks to you again.â
Zhao Rubing threatened.
âDo as you like, weâre just friends anyway,â
Ye Qiu replied.
Zhao Rubing was just joking, but she didnât realize Ye Qiu was too.
She didnât know Ye Qiu was also joking.
âI feel like Iâve actually gotten a bit bigger.â
Last night, after Ye Qiu had âtreatedâ her, Zhao Rubing hadnât thought much of it.
But this morning, she noticed a significant change, and her usual bra seemed tighter.
âIt will keep growing,â
Ye Qiu said.
Zhao Rubing didnât say more.
Ye Qiu also hung up, got out to wash up, and saw Ye Xue had made breakfast.
After breakfast, Chen Fang and Ye Weidong went back to the restaurant, and Ye Xue stayed home to study finance.
She had wanted to ask Ye Qiu some questions, but he didnât have time.
Ye Qiu quickly left the house, picked up Liu Lingxiu, and returned to class.
Just as he sat down, Su Luoluo approached to talk, but he noticed Zhang Wei at his desk.
Zhang Wei had recovered and looked energetic.
He wondered why Ye Qiu was still here.
Did the killer fail?
Zhang Wei gave Ye Qiu a spiteful look and continued studying.
Ye Qiu thought, Iâll let you be comfortable for a few more days, then make Zhang Wei my test subject and see how long he can last this time.
At Jinling Peopleâs Hospital, Zhang Chuan was in the emergency room, his condition worsening far more rapidly than Shen Xingruâs had.
His acute respiratory distress syndrome symptoms were severe, and he was now in critical care.
Li Jin remembered what Ye Qiu had told him and knew Ye Qiu had quickly treated Shen Xingruâs illness.
That meant Ye Qiu could cure Zhang Chuan too.
Facing Zhang Chuanâs severe condition, Li Jin was helpless and feared Zhang Chuan might die in critical care.
Last night, Li Jin had already informed Zhang Chuanâs family.
When discussing Ye Qiu with Zhang Chuanâs wife, she quickly agreed to call Ye Qiu for help.
Li Jin didnât have Ye Qiuâs number but knew Shen Zhigang had it.
He contacted Shen Zhigang to get Ye Qiuâs number.
Sitting in his seat, Ye Qiu was chatting with Su Luoluo when his phone rang.
He walked into the hallway and answered, âThis is Ye Qiu.â
âDr.
Ye, this is Li Jin from Jinling Peopleâs Hospital.
Weâve met before,â
âWhatâs up?â
Ye Qiu asked coolly, already guessing Li Jinâs reason for calling.
âDirector Zhangâs condition is critical.
His family wants you to treat him,â
âDr.
Li, tell his family that I can treat him, but they need to transfer a million to my account first.
Otherwise, I donât care if he lives or dies.â
Ye Qiu had already told Li Jin about this.
Li Jin didnât expect Ye Qiu to be serious about wanting that million.
He suspected it was because Zhang Chuan had lost a bet to Ye Qiu and reneged, so Ye Qiu was now taking revenge.
âIâll discuss it with his family and see what they decide,â
Ye Qiu waited for about ten minutes before Li Jin called back,
âDr.
Ye, Iâve discussed it with Director Zhangâs family.
They ask if you could lower the amount?â
âTell them not a penny less,â
