“You know?”
Seeing Ma Ruishi’s solemn expression, Ye Ling was also a little surprised.
He had thought Ma Ruishi only knew some inside information, but he didn't expect Ma Ruishi to know who was responsible!
Ma Ruishi said in a deep voice, “It’s the Yaomen of Hu City…”
Hearing Ma Ruishi’s words, Ye Ling’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “Are you sure?”
“Only they would do such a thing, and Deng Zhongtai, an elder of the Yaomen, has been active in Jiang City recently. Deng Zhongtai is a person who is extremely obsessed with medicine and extremely selfish and crazy. He can go to any lengths to achieve his goals.”
“Deng Zhongtai? What’s the relationship between Aunt Liu and him?”
Ye Ling had never heard of the Yaomen or Deng Zhongtai, and the Jiang family had no connection with the Yaomen. Ye Ling couldn’t understand why they would target Liu Xiu.
Ma Ruishi sighed heavily and said, “This is my fault… Yesterday, I attended a Traditional Chinese Medicine summit and spoke about Teacher you treating Liu Xiu.”
“At that time, Deng Zhongtai stepped forward to question me. We argued, and the summit ended unhappily.”
“It’s likely that the Yaomen kidnapped Liu Xiu because Deng Zhongtai wanted to force Teacher you to come out.”
“Force me out?” Hearing Ma Ruishi’s words, Ye Ling couldn’t help but laugh, “Just because you gave an example and bragged at the summit? Your Yaomen kidnapped a living adult on the street?”
Ma Ruishi quickly said, “The Yaomen has vast influence and is backed by the Sun family, a noble clan with a thousand years of history. The Sun family is a top noble clan in Hu City and holds a leading position in the medical field. Everyone gets old and sick, and all the powerful people might need to seek help from the Sun family, so not many people dare to offend them.”
“Because of the Sun family’s influence, the Yaomen’s prestige has been rising year by year, and their actions have become more and more unscrupulous. Let alone kidnapping, the Yaomen has even wiped out entire families for a medical book!”
“It’s likely that Deng Zhongtai took a liking to Teacher your acupuncture techniques and wanted to kidnap Liu Xiu to verify the truth of the matter.”
“Well done, Yaomen… Where is this Deng Zhongtai now?” Ye Ling sneered, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Ye Ling didn’t care how arrogant the Sun family and the Yaomen were, but now that the Yaomen had become so presumptuous towards him, Ye Ling would never let them off!
Ma Ruishi said, “Deng Zhongtai has a noble status, and coupled with his superb medical skills, many people will come to seek medical treatment. The Yaomen has set up a clinic specifically in Jiang City, and he is most likely there!”
“Take me there.”
“Teacher, please don’t be impulsive. Deng Zhongtai is a madman. If he knows that you have truly mastered the acupuncture technique that can bring people back from the dead, he will definitely go to any lengths to obtain that technique!”
“At that time, not only will you be unable to save Liu Xiu, but you might also put yourself in danger!”
“I have some reputation in the medical field, so I can use my connections to rescue her. Teacher, you are a treasure of the nation, you cannot…”
“Since you don’t want to lead the way, I’ll find it myself. Yaomen, right?”
Ye Ling said faintly, not wanting to rely on Ma Ruishi’s connections to save someone. He intended to bring Liu Xiu back today!
Seeing Ye Ling walk out without a word, Ma Ruishi panicked and quickly chased after him, “Teacher, I’ll take you!!!”
With him accompanying, Deng Zhongtai might be a little more restrained. If Ye Ling went to the Yaomen alone, he might be completely destroyed!
…
South City, Jiang City, Yaoxian Ju.
This was the only clinic of the Yaomen in Jiang City. Its physicians were all disciples of the Yaomen, known for their superb medical skills.
The registration fee alone at Yaoxian Ju was five thousand, and patients might not even be able to get an appointment.
Normally, Yaoxian Ju was always crowded with people seeking medical treatment. Recently, with Deng Zhongtai stationed at the clinic, the number of patients seeking treatment had surged, with queues stretching to the roadside, overlapping for hundreds of meters!
With so many people, it would likely take several days and nights just for consultation and diagnosis.
“Jiang Jingtian, there are so many people here… How long will we have to wait in line? Do we really need to see a doctor here?”
In the passenger seat of a yellow Porsche, Jiang Yadan, wearing sunglasses and a mask, said impatiently, looking at the long queue at Yaoxian Ju.
Jiang Jingtian, who was driving, said, “Yadan, you don’t know, but Yaoxian Ju is backed by the Yaomen and the Sun family, one of the most famous pharmaceutical families in China. Their medical skills are top-notch in the whole of China, and they will definitely be able to cure your face!”
“Besides, we have a green channel, so we don’t have to wait in line!”
Ever since Jiang Jingtian had violently attacked Jiang Yadan at Xishan Manor that day, Jiang Yadan’s face had been swollen, like a pig’s head, and it wouldn’t go down. She couldn’t go out at all.
Jiang Jingtian was severely punished by his elders after returning, and no matter how he explained, no one believed him.
If he hadn’t flattered Deng Zhongtai’s grandson, Deng Shi, in the past and successfully asked Deng Shi to have Deng Zhongtai agree to help Jiang Yadan, he would probably still be locked in a dark room, suffering beatings every day.
Although Jiang Yadan hated Jiang Jingtian to death, she wanted to restore her original appearance even more, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come with Jiang Jingtian.
Jiang Yadan snorted, “Hmph! It’s best if this divine doctor you mentioned can cure my face. If the swelling doesn’t go down, I’ll drag you to death!”
Jiang Jingtian trembled and quickly smiled, “Don’t worry, Divine Doctor Deng will definitely cure you. After we go in, be polite to Divine Doctor Deng. Our Jiang family can’t afford to offend them, especially during this special period.”
Their Jiang family was a branch of Jiang Xingye’s lineage. Although they didn’t have shares in the Jiang Group, their family’s prosperity in Jiang City was somewhat dependent on the Jiang Group.
Now that the Jiang Group had collapsed, and the state was even investigating Tianhui Pharmaceutical, their Jiang family had to keep a low profile at this time, otherwise, they would only become a crushed bug.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yadan snorted and opened the door, getting out of the car.
At this moment, the taxi carrying Ye Ling and Ma Ruishi happened to stop behind Jiang Jingtian’s Porsche.
Ye Ling got out of the car and looked at the ancient-style clinic in front of him, saying faintly, “This is the clinic where Deng Zhongtai is, right?”
“Yes, yes…” Ma Ruishi got out of the car, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said tremblingly.
All the way here, Ye Ling’s aura was frighteningly gloomy. Ma Ruishi, just sitting next to Ye Ling, felt immense pressure, as if someone might die at any moment.
Ye Ling’s aura was completely unlike that of someone with superb medical skills.
If he had to describe it, Ma Ruishi thought Ye Ling was more like a devil who had killed countless people!
“Very good!”
Ye Ling’s divine soul spread out, scanning Yaoxian Ju. After confirming that Liu Xiu was inside and safe, his icy gaze softened slightly.
“Come in with me.”
Ye Ling, with his hands behind his back, was about to enter Yaoxian Ju when he was stopped by a sharp voice.
“It’s you!!!”
Ye Ling turned his head and saw a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask, with a slightly swollen face, pointing at him with gritted teeth and shouting, “Good, you bastard, you dare to appear in front of me again? I was just looking for you to settle the score!”
Looking at Jiang Yadan, Ye Ling frowned and asked, “Who are you?”
