Ye Tian: "Don't I have an extra brother-in-law?"
Lin Ziyi: "There's one more thing, my grandmother."
Hearing about the old lady, Ye Tian asked, "Did she cause trouble for you again?"
Lin Ziyi: "Not really. It's just that her health is deteriorating day by day. Recently, she often sends people to deliver tonics to my mother. I'm wondering if the old lady has had a change of heart?"
Ye Tian: "Her health has always been good. Did something happen to her?"
Lin Ziyi sighed, "It's my uncle, and her good grandson, who caused trouble outside."
Ye Tian's brow furrowed at the thought of Lin Changxin and Lin Yufei, saying, "They act without regard for consequences and have no bottom line in their actions. Trouble was bound to happen sooner or later."
Lin Ziyi: "Lin Yufei lost a hundred million US dollars in overseas casinos and is now being held. If he doesn't pay by the last day of this month, it will be two hundred and thirty million US dollars with interest. As for Lin Changxin, he borrowed five hundred million to partner in a business, but it failed. Now he can't repay the loan, and the bank wants to repossess his shares. Grandma is in a dilemma. If she helps these two pay off their debts, the Lin family will go bankrupt."
Ye Tian: "So she wasn't showing goodwill, but rather asking you to help her son and grandson."
Lin Ziyi sighed, "I discussed this with my father. He said we don't need to bother with them, let them fend for themselves."
Ye Tian: "Given their character, even if we helped them, it wouldn't end well."
Lin Ziyi: "Yes."
Ye Tian: "Forget it, don't overthink it. We'll talk about this when we get back."
For the next period, Ye Tian accompanied Lin Ziyi on sightseeing trips. On the afternoon of the second day, all personnel boarded a chartered plane and returned to Zhonghai.
While the plane was in the air, Ye Tian took the opportunity to cultivate at high altitude. At six in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport. Everyone returned home, and Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi first went back to the Ye Family Villa.
Upon their return, they were told by a servant that a Ms. Jin had visited three times recently, but Ye Tian had not been home.
Ye Tian thought of Jin Huan, the third wife of the East Asian Chamber of Commerce president, who had previously sought his medical help but then suddenly disappeared.
After resting for a while and having dinner, around eight in the evening, the third wife, Jin Huan, arrived again. This time, she finally met Ye Tian.
Upon entering the living room, the third wife Jin Huan bowed deeply, "Divine Doctor Ye!"
Ye Tian nodded and asked, "Third Madam, why didn't you bring your husband for treatment before?"
Jin Huan sighed, "I apologize, I didn't get a chance to tell you. Some things happened abroad, and my husband went overseas to handle them. He only recently returned to the country."
Ye Tian: "Mm, it's alright. You can have him come over now."
Jin Huan: "Okay, he's waiting outside."
Within a few minutes, a middle-aged man around fifty, with a sallow complexion, walked out. He was very weak and needed someone to support him. The middle-aged man had a dignified appearance, and even in his weakened state, he exuded a strong presence.
"Lu Tiancheng, greetings, Divine Doctor Ye!" The president raised his hand in a cupped-fist salute. Though it was strenuous, his movements were steady.
Ye Tian: "President Lu, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit."
After they were seated, Lu Tiancheng said, "Divine Doctor Ye, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to treat me."
Ye Tian: "You're welcome. I heard some details from the Third Madam last time, but I'm not aware of the specific condition."
At that, Lu Tiancheng explained his situation in detail to Ye Tian. Previously, his health had been perfectly normal. Then, one day, he began to experience intense itching all over his body. It started with his skin, then his muscles, and eventually even his bones itched.
When the itching struck, it made him wish for death. The magnate, who had navigated the business world for many years, would sometimes cry from the discomfort. On a few occasions, he had even contemplated ending his own life.
Concluding his account, Lu Tiancheng sighed softly, "Divine Doctor Ye, I have come to terms with life and death. If even you cannot alleviate my suffering, I truly cannot bear it any longer."
Ye Tian: "President Lu, you are not suffering from an illness, but have been poisoned with a Gu."
As the sect leader of the Ling Gu Sect, he was well-versed in what Gu poison was.
Lu Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, "It's Gu poison?"
Ye Tian: "Yes, this poison cannot be detected through tests, and doctors are helpless against it. Even if you were to have a blood transfusion, it would relapse after a while."
The Third Madam quickly asked, "Divine Doctor Ye, is there a cure?"
