Xiao Jianren cursed furiously, "Xiao Wenbin, you scoundrel! Are you blind? You almost hit me just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door opened, and a man in a suit, looking to be in his mid-twenties, stepped out.
This person was none other than Xiao Wenbin.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Wenbin snorted coldly, "Who told you to stand at the hotel entrance? I'm showing you respect as my elder brother; otherwise, I would have crashed right into you."
"You..." Xiao Jianren trembled with rage.
"You want to say I did it on purpose, right!"
Xiao Wenbin looked at Xiao Jianren, grinned, and said, "That's right, I did it on purpose."
After speaking, Xiao Wenbin swaggered into the hotel.
"Stop right there!"
Xiao Jianren shouted furiously.
"What? Do you need something else?" Xiao Wenbin stopped, looking at Xiao Jianren with a cold smirk.
"I'm asking you, did you bribe my people to try and seize my Fugui Hospital?" Xiao Jianren questioned.
"That's right!"
Xiao Wenbin admitted it directly.
Xiao Wenbin's immediate confession revealed his arrogance, clearly showing he held Xiao Jianren in contempt.
"Xiao Wenbin, I'm not done with you over this. I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!" Xiao Jianren's face was filled with murderous intent.
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Wenbin threw his head back and laughed, saying to Xiao Jianren with disdain, "If you want to play, I'll play with you to the end. But I must warn you beforehand, your little strength isn't even enough to tickle me. If you bring about your own demise, don't blame your brother for not warning you."
With that, Xiao Wenbin swaggered into the hotel lobby.
Xiao Jianren stared intently at Xiao Wenbin's retreating back, his eyes filled with anger and killing intent.
Xiao Wenbin completely disregarded Xiao Jianren.
"One day, I will make him die by my hand."
Xiao Jianren said angrily.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile inwardly.
This was bound to be interesting.
"That scoundrel Xiao Wenbin rarely attends these banquets, basically never showing his face. For him to suddenly show up must mean something's up," Xiao Jianren muttered to himself.
"Who is hosting this party?" Jiang Yi asked.
"One of China's wealthiest, Ma Bai!"
Xiao Jianren said with a grave expression, "This Boss Ma isn't an ordinary person. He ranks third on China's rich list, possessing wealth comparable to a nation's. I've heard his assets alone exceed one trillion yuan..."
Jiang Yi was stunned by this information!
He's that rich!
Using a trillion yuan.
Jiang Yi, having seen his fair share of the world, couldn't help but be astonished by Ma Bai's wealth.
"I heard Boss Ma suffers from a strange illness. I'll find an opportunity to introduce you to him later. Show him all your skills and don't embarrass me," Xiao Jianren said.
"Okay!" Jiang Yi nodded.
"Let's go!"
With that, Xiao Jianren led Jiang Yi into the hotel lobby.
Upon entering the lobby, Jiang Yi scanned the surroundings. The hall was filled with people, all dressed magnificently and speaking with great poise, clearly figures of high society.
Those attending the banquet today were all influential and wealthy individuals in the capital.
The most striking among the crowd was a middle-aged man, in his forties, wearing a light blue suit. He was somewhat lean and short, with a protruding jaw, exuding an aura of nouveau riche in every movement.
His eyes flickered with arrogance and disdain.
This was Ma Bai!
Ma Bai had built his empire from scratch, creating a powerful commercial conglomerate in over twenty years.
A common saying of Ma Bai's was, "I don't like money; I'm not interested in it."
This statement became a motto for many of his admirers.
In the eyes of these admirers, every word Ma Bai uttered was a golden maxim.
However, some scoffed at it.
"That's Boss Ma!"
Xiao Jianren pointed at Ma Bai and said to Jiang Yi, "I went through a lot of trouble to meet Boss Ma this time. We absolutely must find a way to speak with him, so you'll have a chance to treat his illness."
Jiang Yi's gaze appraised Ma Bai.
He noticed that Ma Bai didn't seem to be ill.
However, Jiang Yi couldn't be sure if Ma Bai was actually sick without taking his pulse.
Some illnesses couldn't be detected by the naked eye.
At this moment, Ma Bai was conversing with other prominent businessmen in the lobby.
Suddenly, a look of pain flashed across Ma Bai's face, and his complexion turned pale.
Seeing this, everyone quickly helped Ma Bai to a chair.
A private doctor immediately brought medicine and administered it to Ma Bai, who slowly began to recover.
"Boss Ma, if you're feeling unwell, perhaps we should conclude today's banquet? Your health is paramount. If you overexert yourself, we wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility," one boss said to Ma Bai.
"It's nothing, I just felt a bit unwell a moment ago!"
Ma Bai said with a smile, "Everyone, please continue. Don't let my discomfort spoil your enjoyment."
Hearing this, the guests began to praise Ma Bai effusively. Suzhou Novel Network
They exhausted all possible compliments.
Their abundance of praise was merely an attempt to curry favor with Ma Bai.
Ma Bai showed no outward reaction, but inwardly, he felt exceedingly pleased.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi chuckled.
As expected, for the wealthy and powerful, even their farts smelled sweet.
Xiao Jianren adjusted his clothes, ensuring nothing was out of place, then walked towards Ma Bai.
However, Xiao Wenbin beat him to it. He approached Ma Bai with an old man, saying respectfully, "Boss Ma, I've brought a divine physician with me. If you don't mind, I'll have him examine you. Perhaps he can cure your illness."
"Boss Ma, hello, my name is Jin Buyong! I can cure your illness, Boss Ma!" the old man said to Ma Bai.
Hearing this, Ma Bai sized up Xiao Wenbin and Jin Buyong.
"Hmph!"
A cold sneer appeared on Ma Bai's face.
"What's your name?" Ma Bai asked Xiao Wenbin.
"Replying to Boss Ma, my name is Xiao Wenbin," Xiao Wenbin said quickly.
"This is my banquet, yet you've brought a doctor!"
Ma Bai looked at Xiao Wenbin and said, "Your intention for attending this banquet is likely not as simple as it seems!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wenbin was taken aback.
Ma Bai was an incredibly astute person, and Xiao Wenbin knew that Ma Bai had seen right through his thoughts.
"Boss Ma, I dare not conceal anything!"
Xiao Wenbin directly said to Ma Bai, "I have long heard that Boss Ma is ill, and thus I wished to take this opportunity to introduce Divine Physician Jin to you."
Jin Buyong nodded eagerly.
