Chapter 551: Someone is Following
Chapter 551 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor" starts with unexpected events: In the world of traditional Chinese medicine today, the highest consultation fees are commanded by... Find out more!
In the world of traditional Chinese medicine today, the highest consultation fees are commanded by "the four great national doctors," and among them, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe stand out. They charge tens or even hundreds of millions for an appointment, so only the wealthiest and noblest patients can afford their services.However, with Fang Baiâs medical skills now, he had left "the four great national doctors" far behind. The one million fee he charged Wang Maode was indeed a conscience price.
Wang Maode was in the maritime shipping business and was certainly very wealthy. A million could be just a drop in the bucket for him.
Wang Maode was overjoyed. His net worth was over a hundred million. If Fang Bai could truly cure his angina, let alone a million in consultation fees, he would not hesitate to give up half of his wealth. He gratefully said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Fang!"
Fang Bai left his mobile number for Wang Maode to facilitate future contact.
The two flight attendants in first class looked at each other before turning their burning gazes towards Fang Bai, thinking that if he could really cure Wang Maodeâs ailment, then a million would be in hand. Isnât he the perfect catch? Unfortunately, they were out of their league.
"Fang Bai, youâre amazing!"
After Wang Maode returned to his seat, Ye Wumei gave Fang Bai a thumbs up in praise.
By evening that day, the plane landed at Lingnan Airport.
After declining Wang Maodeâs offer to treat them, Fang Bai and Ye Wumei got into a business car sent by the Ye Family to pick them up and drove off towards the Ye Family Manor by the sea in the night.
"Fang Bai, what are you smiling at?"
Throughout the ride, Ye Wumei noticed Fang Baiâs mouth occasionally curling into a sneer of scorn and disdain, and couldnât help asking.
Fang Bai said, "I am laughing at someone overestimating their own abilities, following us."
Ye Wumei was startled and turned to look behind the car, but didnât see any vehicles following them.
The Ye Family members who had come to pick them up totaled five people, including a driver and four bodyguards with Profound Level strength. Hearing that someone was following them, they immediately became tense. However, after a close observation and finding nothing unusual, they relaxed and thought Fang Bai was just being paranoid.
Only Ye Wumei knew about Fang Baiâs miraculous abilities. If he said someone was trailing them, then there definitely was. The only reason she and the four bodyguards couldnât detect it was because their cultivation levels were not high enough.
"The followers are two martial artists with great strength and stealthy figures. You just canât sense them."
Fang Bai spoke indifferently.
The trackers were swiftly moving to the left side of the road behind their car, always maintaining a distance of about three hundred meters from their business vehicle. At this distance, even with Ye Wumeiâs special cultivation technique, she could not detect the fluctuations of the martial artistsâ aura coming from them.
As for the four Profound Level bodyguards from the Ye Family, their strength didnât even match Ye Wumeiâs, so they were even less likely to know they were being tracked.
"Could it be assassins from âWrathful Beautiesâ?"
Ye Wumei frowned as she spoke.
The Ye Family had been operating in Lingnan for a hundred years and had deep roots and massive power. Even the Yanjing Lu Family, which had a much stronger family background than the Ye Family, couldnât compare with the Ye Familyâs influence in Lingnan. Aside from the recently announced "Wrathful Beauties," who openly declared their animosity towards the Ye Family, Ye Wumei couldnât think of anyone else who would dare target them.
"It has nothing to do with âWrathful Beautiesâ."
Fang Bai shook his head and whispered, "Do you still remember the middle-aged man and woman in black training suits on the plane before?"
"Could it be them?"
Ye Wumei blurted out.
Previously, in the first-class cabin of the plane, Ye Wumei had noticed the middle-aged couple dressed in black training suits. At the time, she hadnât sensed any martial artist aura from them and had thought they were just ordinary martial arts enthusiasts. It wasnât until Fang Bai mentioned it that she realized not only were they martial artists, but their strength was also formidable.
Fang Bai nodded and said, "Yes, it was them."
Ye Wumei frowned slightly and muttered, "Theyâve been tracking us all the way here; I wonder what they want..."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Bai said, "Maybe itâs because I made a move to save Wang Maodeâs life on the plane and revealed my strength, arousing their curiosity. Since I concealed my cultivation level at that time, they probably think I have some special martial arts techniques and want to rob me halfway to take for themselves."
Ye Wumei scoffed, "If they dare have designs on you, theyâre asking for trouble!"
Seeing the thick scorn and disdain in Fang Baiâs smile, Ye Wumei knew he didnât take those two trackers seriously at all. If they dared to provoke Fang Bai, he would surely make them regret it profoundly.
Fang Bai said with a smile, "Thatâs right, theyâd better not provoke me, or theyâll be in big trouble!"
The van sped along the coastal road, and soon they saw to the north of the road a low hilltop dotted with manors. According to Ye Wumei, the people living in those manors were either wealthy or noble, all prominent figures in Lingnan.
As the number one family in Lingnan, the Ye Family Manor was backed by mountains and faced the sea, boasting excellent Feng Shui. Moreover, the buildings within the manor were a blend of Chinese and Western styles, very imposing. Seen from a distance at night, the manor, ablaze with lights, resembled an Immortal Palace by the sea.
The van wound its way up the mountain road towards the Ye Family Manor and encountered a guarded checkpoint when it got close to the manor.
The van stopped at the checkpoint where four fully-equipped martial artists stood in the distance, weapons in hand aimed in their direction, and two more martial artists approached, ordering Ye Wumei and her party to get out of the car for a check.
"Ever since âWrathful Beautiesâ started targeting our Ye family, weâve strengthened our security forces. Weâve deployed many martial artists around the manor, both overtly and covertly, and anyone who wants to enter the manor has to go through a check. Anyone with even a slight suspicion of their identity is not allowed to continue up the mountain!"
After they got out of the car, Ye Wumei, worried Fang Bai would be annoyed by the check, explained apologetically.
"I understand," Follow current nová´ls on Nová´(l)FÉŞre .É´á´t
Fang Bai said with a smile, but he was thinking that if âWrathful Beautiesâ high-level fighters attacked the Ye family under cover of darkness, these martial artists would be practically ineffective and would not detect them.
Of course, Fang Bai wouldnât voice these thoughts openly to avoid causing panic among the Ye familyâs people.
However, the weapons carried by the martial artists caught Fang Baiâs attention.
When martial artists reach a certain level, their reactions become incredibly sharp, often allowing them to anticipate the enemyâs moves and evade bullet fire ahead of time. But if a large amount of weaponry were to fire at them from different directions at once, it could pose a significant threat to martial artists, and even an Earth Level Martial Artist would need to be careful how they handled it.
In this world, probably only martial artists who have reached the Heaven Level Realm truly have the ability to block bullets head-on, and even then, only from ordinary weapons. If they encounter powerful special weapons, those could still threaten a Heaven Level Martial Artist.
In comparison with the Ancient Martial World, ordinary people in the secular world may be no match, but the technological power theyâve developed is quite formidable, such as nuclear weapons. Even a common Cultivation World powerhouse would have difficulty escaping such an attack.
