Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 159 Dongfang Meng, this name did bear some impression in Ye Tianchen’s mind, not because of the task that the big shot, Yang Yi, had given him, but because she was one of the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sect, a title that somewhat attracted Ye Tianchen. Of course, aside from the four beauties, the most important was the Ancient Martial Sect itself.

During the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen was very attentive to the Absolute Skills of the Ancient Martial Sect, because at that time, the masters of the Ancient Martial Sect and superpower experts were on par with each other. In these two categories, many top-notch masters emerged, and they even basically dominated the whole world. Plus, Ye Tianchen had always wanted to combine Superpower with Ancient Martial Arts Absolute Skill, just like Xie Yuhe did. Even though Xie Yuhe’s own strength wasn’t powerful, when she combined her superpower with Ancient Martial Arts, the moves generated were extremely formidable in attack power, leaving Ye Tianchen astonished.

The task Yang Yi gave him was to pay attention to this woman named Dongfang Meng. It wasn’t to protect her, nor to harm her. Yang Yi’s words were very clear: make sure that this woman named Dongfang Meng doesn’t hurt others or gets hurt by others. Ye Tianchen didn’t know what Yang Yi and his people were planning to do and didn’t want to know. His interest lay solely in the Ancient Martial Sect. Even something like provoking Xuanyuan Teng was an accident. After all, Ye Tianchen wasn’t someone who liked to go to school; the days at Longteng University were so boring, a little interlude would actually make it more exciting!

What Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected was that Dongfang Meng, this woman, turned out to be the reigning beauty queen of Longteng University for three consecutive terms, one of the four beauties of an Ancient Martial Sect, and also the top beauty of Longteng University. This was indeed somewhat unexpected, and it couldn’t help but pique Ye Tianchen’s interest in Dongfang Meng. Just what did this woman look like? And what was her personality?

Ling Yuxun said Dongfang Meng was an ice queen, which allowed for a bit of analysis: this woman’s personality must be very cold and difficult to approach.

Furthermore, when Ye Tianchen agreed to Yang Yi’s request, he also noticed that the national leadership seemed to pay a lot of attention to this woman named Dongfang Meng. It probably wasn’t because Dongfang Meng was one of the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sect, or because she was the three-time reigning beauty queen of Longteng University, but rather there seemed to be more to it. It seemed that the identity of this woman named Dongfang Meng must not be so simple.

"Dongfang Meng, that name sounds quite nice. I think that older sister must be very pretty!" Xiao Ya couldn’t help but say with a smile.

"She is very pretty, but no one can get close to her. It’s said she is someone without friends!" Ling Yuxun spoke with a tone laced with a bit of confusion.

A person without friends, this phrase made both Xiao Ya and Ye Tianchen pause. Everyone understood one thing: in a person’s life, friends are needed, especially a few very close ones. Whether in times of joy or sorrow, there should be people to share it with, otherwise one’s life is not complete and feels empty, lonely, and cold.

No one could have imagined that a woman with stunning beauty who had won the title of Longteng University’s beauty queen thrice was someone without any friends. It had to be known that such an exquisite beauty would definitely have countless fans and admirers. Was there really no one who could touch her heart?

"How can this be? Doesn’t that older sister have any good female friends either?" Xiao Ya couldn’t help but ask.

"No way, is there really such a woman in the world?" Ye Tianchen also shook his head in disbelief.

"It’s true, Dongfang Meng doesn’t have any male friends or female friends, because it’s said that those who get close to her, end up dying mysteriously..." Ling Yuxun’s voice lowered as she spoke, as if the atmosphere suddenly turned ice cold, like a ghost story was being told.

Upon hearing Ling Yuxun’s words, Xiao Ya was a little scared, while Ye Tianchen frowned, seemingly thinking of something but not yet certain. He would probably need to get close to Dongfang Meng to know if it was what he was thinking.

"This... Sister Yuxun, are there really such people who exist? Why would that be?" Xiao Ya couldn’t help but ask.

"That matter is unknown; since then, no one has dared to approach her, so she has always been alone. The ice queen, untouchable!" Ling Yuxun said seriously.

One can only imagine, an exceptionally beautiful woman, who would normally have many good friends and numerous admirers, supposedly having a very wonderful life, yet was like a star of calamity, destined to be alone, with anyone getting close to her bound to die. It’s believed that woman’s heart must not feel good at all; she’s very lonely.

In endless rains, deep in the old hometown’s foliage, I heard, you’ve always been alone...

"Pretty interesting. If I get the chance, I’ll go meet this Dongfang Meng to see what she really looks like!" Ye Tianchen chuckled.

Ling Yuxun glared at Ye Tianchen, annoyed, and said, "Do you really have a death wish? From what I know, anyone who has gotten close to Dongfang Meng over the years ends up mysteriously dead, even the cops can’t find any clues. It’s extremely eerie. If you’re looking to die, I wouldn’t mind you going!"

"Don’t worry, with my strength, my absolute charm will break any curse!" Ye Tianchen patted his chest confidently.

After they finished eating noodles, it was already nine o’clock in the evening. Ye Tianchen, Ling Yuxun, and Xiao Ya returned to Kyoto Hospital only to discover that Xiao Ya’s mother’s ward was now surrounded by doctors in white coats, most of them gray-haired. The youngest one looked to be at least in his fifties or sixties, which made Xiao Ya anxious, wondering if something had happened to her mother or if she had suddenly fallen ill.

It wasn’t until Xiao Ya, Ye Tianchen, and Ling Yuxun entered the ward that they realized the seven or eight elderly doctors were all senior professors from Kyoto Hospital, and some of them had long since stopped seeing patients. They had been summoned in the middle of the night.

Among these senior doctors was a middle-aged man in his fifties, clothed in a suit, slightly chubby and exuding an air of authority. He approached Ye Tianchen with a smile as the three entered, saying, "You must be Ye Tianchen, Young Master Ye. It’s truly an honor to meet you!"

Although Ye Tianchen was not familiar with this middle-aged man, you don’t hit a man who comes at you with a smile, right?

Seeing the middle-aged man extend his right hand, Ye Tianchen also extended his hand for a symbolic shake and replied with a smile, "You’re too kind. May I ask your name?"

"Oh, just call me Dean Lin. I’m the director of this hospital!" the middle-aged man quickly said.

"So you’re Dean Lin. It’s a pleasure to meet you!" Ye Tianchen casually responded.

Dean Lin, director of Kyoto Hospital at just fifty years old, was known to be competent and smart. Upon hearing the report from his subordinates about Wang Zili and Ye Tianchen, Dean Lin’s first reaction was that Ye Tianchen was not a man to be trifled with. He knew he must treat Ye Tianchen well.

No matter what, he had to act on Ye Tianchen’s behalf, so the important thing was not to offend Ye Tianchen. Thus, he immediately called a few of the senior professors, insisting they come to Kyoto Hospital that night, even personally arranging for transportation for those who lived far away. After making the calls, he swiftly headed to Kyoto Hospital.

As director of Kyoto Hospital and well-connected in Capital City after many years, Dean Lin, accustomed to treating high-ranking officials, knew a good deal. The affairs of the Qin family and the Luo family were enough to astonish him. Wang Zili, always arrogant and overbearing, managed to get himself sent to the police station despite having called for Lu Shengda, chief of Kyoto Police Department. This alone showed how untouchable Ye Tianchen had become in Capital City.

"Young Master Ye, I heard about the recent incident from my subordinates. It’s my fault for not managing my staff properly. I’m here to apologize," Dean Lin said with a just manner. "I assure you, I will immediately fire Wang Zili. Such a disgrace to the medical field, without any medical ethics, does not deserve to be the deputy director of Kyoto Hospital. We must put people first and heal the wounded!"

"Hmm, with someone as ethically righteous as Dean Lin, I believe my friend’s mother will recover soon. May I ask how the diagnosis is going?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"It will take a little while longer, the senior professors are still finalizing the consultation," Dean Lin replied with a smile.

Ye Tianchen nodded and said no more. Xiao Ya and Ling Yuxun stood by his side, naturally saying nothing, not wanting to interrupt the senior professors attending to Xiao Ya’s mother. Ye Tianchen had already brought them too many surprises and shocks. After all, who else could have the power to make the director of Kyoto Hospital call the senior professors for an overnight consultation? Probably only someone with influence and power.

Though Ye Tianchen seemed to have neither influence nor power, what he did have was a pair of fists that favored justice over personal connection. That alone was enough to intimidate many, especially those lacking integrity, who faced nothing but a beating in Ye Tianchen’s presence. (To be continued.
