Feng Jiteng glared, his tone hostile, the threat in his words naked and undisguised.
"Let me tell you, if you can't cure my illness, you won't be leaving Malaysia!
On this land, our Feng family is everything!
If there are any accidents during the treatment, or if my father is agitated and his illness isn't cured, I guarantee you won't leave Malaysia safely!"
The young assistant beside him immediately became anxious.
"Third Master, please watch your words. You've gone too far. Doctor Ling Tian was highly recommended by some of the Old Master's friends!
Your behavior is rather impolite..."
"You shut your mouth! Who the hell do you think you are to lecture me!
Aren't you just a dog under my elder brother? If you're a dog, you should behave like one and not meddle in family affairs.
Mind your own business, or I'll kill your whole family!"
The assistant shivered. Although he was Feng Jifei's man, he knew Feng Jiteng's character well. If this guy said he'd kill his whole family, he really would do it.
"If I didn't have the skill, I wouldn't dare to take on the job. Since I'm here today, I am absolutely confident I can cure your father's illness!"
Ling Tian spoke with unwavering confidence, exuding a powerful aura that made Feng Jiteng hesitate. Perhaps this guy really could cure his father!
"Kid, you can go back. I won't let someone like you treat my father!
Don't bother my father; he's old and can't withstand your fuss.
However, since you've come all this way, I won't let you leave empty-handed. I'll give you double the treatment fee!"
Feng Jiteng immediately changed his strategy. In his opinion, he had just threatened Ling Tian and now promised double the reward; this was a classic "slap and then a sweet date" approach.
Most people would likely agree immediately, as they could get more money and avoid offending the Feng family, escaping a crisis. It was a worthwhile deal.
"I refuse!"
"What did you say?" Feng Jiteng's eyes immediately widened, his large pupils resembling those of an ox, looking very intimidating.
"Since I've come all this way, I won't give up halfway. I will naturally treat the elderly gentleman."
"Kid, I think you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you know that accidents happen every day in this world? Many people die in accidents, and many families die in accidents..."
These words were extremely impolite, a naked threat, as if he were pointing at Ling Tian's nose and telling him that if he didn't comply, his whole family would be killed!
Just then, footsteps sounded from not far away, and several people hurried over.
"Third brother, what are you doing? You're being outrageous!"
The arrival was none other than Feng Jifei, the eldest son of the Feng family.
Feng Jifei was accompanying his father. Upon hearing that Ling Tian had arrived, he was preparing to greet him. However, halfway there, someone reported that Feng Jiteng, the third son, had stopped Ling Tian.
Feng Jifei immediately became anxious. He knew very well what kind of person his brother, Feng Jiteng, was.
Several famous doctors had met with accidents, and Feng Jiteng was the prime suspect. After all, in many complex cases, one only needed to investigate who benefited to get close to the truth.
Moreover, causing accidents for doctors was precisely Feng Jiteng's modus operandi.
From his interactions with Ling Tian yesterday, Feng Jifei had already fully recognized Ling Tian's medical skills. If his third brother interfered and drove Ling Tian away, then his father's illness would truly be hopeless.
As soon as he arrived, Feng Jifei heard Feng Jiteng issuing a death threat to Ling Tian, which enraged him!
Feng Jifei strode forward, blocking Ling Tian's path.
"Third brother, what are you talking about! Doctor Ling Tian was invited from Hua Guo at great expense. He's from the Hua Guo Health Bureau, and his capabilities speak for themselves!
He has successfully treated many similar cases of Father's illness. Several of Father's old friends have highly recommended Doctor Ling Tian!
Are your words even human? Apologize to Doctor Ling Tian immediately! Otherwise, I will definitely report this to Father!"
"Hahahaha..."
"Elder brother, are you crazy? You want me to apologize to him? Does he deserve it? He's just a fame-seeking fraud.
Have you ever seen such a young traditional Chinese medicine doctor?
At his age, he probably hasn't even graduated from medical school yet. How can you let someone like him treat Father? Elder brother, what are you thinking? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
"You... you..." Feng Jifei trembled with anger, panting heavily, trying desperately to suppress the rage in his chest.
"Elder brother, I'm saying this upfront. It's not impossible for him to treat Father, but if after the treatment, Father's condition not only doesn't improve but worsens, then you will be the primary responsible party!
At that time, you will have to apologize to the entire Feng family!"
After speaking, Feng Jiteng turned back and glared at Ling Tian with murderous eyes.
"Kid, I'm serious. I'm not just scaring you. If you cause any trouble for my father, you'd better wait for your family to collect your corpse...
Oh no, wait for others to collect your whole family's corpse, haha..."
Feng Jiteng said this, laughing arrogantly, and left.
Feng Jifei quickly stepped forward and said to Ling Tian.
"Mr. Ling Tian, my third brother is just a rude and arrogant person, but don't worry, he's all talk!
I will report this matter truthfully to my father. Rest assured, our Feng family has the ability to guarantee your and your family's safety."
"Mr. Feng, there's no need for protection. In fact, I have many enemies, and there are plenty of people who want me dead. Your third brother doesn't even rank among them!
What I want now is a promise. If the guy who threatened me just now attacks me with lethal force, can I retaliate with equal or even more intense measures!"
Feng Jifei almost fell to the ground upon hearing this. Who exactly was this young man?
Any other doctor, faced with the third master's threats, would either be scared out of their wits and leave, refusing to treat the patient.
Or they would desperately beg the Feng family for protection.
But this person in front of him was already thinking about how to retaliate. Was he a devil?
"Mr. Feng, please rest assured. This is a personal matter between me and Feng Jiteng. I will not escalate the situation, nor will I involve your Feng family.
However, I need a promise. I don't want anyone to gossip when I seek justice for myself!"
