Chapter 15 An Old Acquaintance of the Old Fellow

Divine Doctor Mu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ye Cangtian and asked, "Mr. Ye, what do you think of this venomous creature?"

Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said with a smile, "I've never seen a centipede like this before, so there are only two possibilities: either it's a mutated centipede or it's a artificially cultivated poison."

"If it's the latter, the situation becomes much more complicated!"

In the second scenario, why would an artificially cultivated poison appear in Old Master Tang's body? There could only be one reason: he was framed!

That's why Ye Cangtian felt the situation was rather complicated.

"Mr. Ye, I'd like to take this venomous creature back for research. Would that be convenient?" Divine Doctor Mu was quite interested in the creature, as in his many years of medical practice, he had never encountered such a case.

Ye Cangtian shrugged, indifferent, "You can take it. I'm not interested in this thing."

Mu Fangyuan nodded, then suddenly something came to mind, and he hesitated, "Mr. Ye, if you don't mind me asking, do you know Senior Zhou?"

Ye Cangtian was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Mu Fangyuan strangely, and asked in bewilderment, "You mean that old fellow? You know him?"

He knew who Mu Fangyuan was referring to – his master, the old fellow he mentioned!

Although Ye Cangtian didn't know the old fellow's real name, he knew the old fellow's surname was Zhou, because someone had once addressed the old fellow as Mr. Zhou, Senior Zhou.

Seeing that he had confirmed it, Mu Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression becoming somewhat excited. He sighed, "I suspected that Mr. Ye was related to Senior Zhou. I was fortunate enough to witness Senior Zhou perform the resurrection technique many years ago, which benefited me greatly. However, I haven't had the opportunity to see Senior Zhou since then."

Although it had been about ten or twenty years ago, Mu Fangyuan still remembered it vividly.

He was now honored as a divine doctor, and it was inspired by that Senior Zhou that he gradually achieved success in his medical practice.

...

An hour later!

Mu Fangyuan and Xiao Yurong left the Tang family's old residence.

However, before leaving, he left a prescription to condition Old Master Tang's body.

After all, Old Master Tang was no longer in any danger. The reason he hadn't woken up yet was that his two years of coma had left him physically weak, and he needed time to recover.

Outside the Tang family compound, Xiao Yurou couldn't help but look back, "Teacher, has Old Master Tang's poison truly been removed? Was it really Mr. Ye's doing?"

Even now, she still found it somewhat strange. After all, even her teacher, a renowned figure in the medical field, honored as a divine doctor, was helpless against the poison in Old Master Tang's body.

Yet Ye Cangtian had resolved it so easily? Not only did others not believe it, but she herself remained skeptical.

However, Mu Fangyuan said, "Yurou, some people cannot be judged by their appearance alone! Although it's somewhat unbelievable, it is indeed true. This Mr. Ye is exceptionally capable and will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future!"

It had been over ten years, and although he hadn't seen that person again, he was fortunate to have met his disciple, which put Mu Fangyuan in a good mood.

"I will cancel all my appointments for the coming days. I need to thoroughly research this. Yurou, please inform your senior brother that I will not be attending the international exchange conference either!"

"Teacher isn't attending? Alright, I'll inform Senior Brother!" Xiao Yurou said with a wry smile.

The international exchange conference was such a significant event, yet her teacher was actually declining it, which surprised her. However, what surprised her even more was Ye Cangtian.

Previously, Ye Cangtian had left a bad impression on her. He had injured a few young men outside the hospital. Although it was in self-defense, it had still left Xiao Yurou with a negative impression.

But now, Xiao Yurou was becoming more and more curious about Ye Cangtian.

First, he had cured Old Master Tang, and now her teacher spoke so highly of him. Therefore, Ye Cangtian gave Xiao Yurou a strange sense of mystery.

...

As the sky darkened, Tang Xinwan and Ye Cangtian also left the Tang family's old residence.

"Thank you today!" Tang Xinwan said after a moment of silence.

Although she didn't know what was going on with her grandfather's illness, even Divine Doctor Mu had said that her grandfather had indeed been poisoned, and it was Ye Cangtian who had ultimately saved him.

Now, although her grandfather hadn't woken up yet, he had undergone a full physical examination and showed signs of recovery, indicating that her grandfather was no longer in life-threatening danger.

Therefore, this "thank you" was necessary.

Ye Cangtian was comfortably reclining in the passenger seat, using his hands to prop himself up. Hearing her, he grinned and said, "We're family, your grandfather is my grandfather. Why thank me? It's too formal. If you really want to thank me, how about something more substantial?"

Tang Xinwan was stunned. Just as she was about to offer him money, she saw Ye Cangtian smiling cheerfully, "How about a kiss? As thanks?"

"..."

Tang Xinwan was utterly speechless. She couldn't help but snort, "Dream on! Besides, we agreed that we would break off our engagement after a year! Don't think that just because you saved my grandfather, I'll fall for you. Don't get your hopes up."

Ye Cangtian wasn't in a hurry and chuckled at her words, "Take it slow. From your curiosity towards me, to liking me, and then falling for me – this is just the first step."

"Narcissist!"

Tang Xinwan rolled her eyes. She would never fall for this guy. Then she added, "Get out! We've arrived at your apartment complex!"

Just as Ye Cangtian was getting out of the car, Tang Xinwan remembered something, rolled down the window, and hesitated, "Ye Cangtian, you're idle all day like this, don't you have a proper job?"

Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette and smiled at her words, "I'm a kept man, why would I need a job?"

Tang Xinwan was speechless. She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Then starting tomorrow, report to my workplace!"

She wasn't trying to meddle in Ye Cangtian's affairs, but she was worried that if he continued to be idle, the Tang family would find another excuse.

Although Ye Cangtian had intervened to save the old master today, no one in the family believed him. They attributed it to Divine Doctor Mu's credit, believing Ye Cangtian had just gotten lucky and happened to be there.

And led by her uncle, Tang Yongchang, the entire Tang family had a negative impression of Ye Cangtian.

Therefore, she intended to arrange a position for Ye Cangtian in the company, at least so that her uncle wouldn't find any fault.

"A job? No problem! Just casually assign me a general manager position." Ye Cangtian was indifferent. He was a bit bored these days anyway.

Besides, working at his fiancée's company meant more opportunities to interact with her daily, which was a good thing!

General manager? Why don't you ask to be appointed chairman instead?

Tang Xinwan couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, then said coolly, "Be at the HR department tomorrow morning at eight sharp!"

With that, she drove away.
