Mu Fangyuan, a prominent figure in China's pharmaceutical industry, was renowned for his exceptional medical skills, often performing miracles and reviving the dying.
Consequently, he was widely revered as Divine Doctor Mu or Elder Mu!
Xiao Yurou, a graduate of a medical university, had the fortune of being accepted as a disciple by Divine Doctor Mu and was now a chief physician at Yangzhou First Hospital.
"Teacher is preparing to return. He'll be back in Yangzhou in a couple of days. He has already made arrangements to visit the Tang family over the weekend to treat Old Master Tang!" Xiao Yurou nodded.
"We'll trouble him," Tang Xinwan sighed.
Her grandfather's health had been deteriorating recently.
Two years ago, when her grandfather was critically ill, Divine Doctor Mu had been invited. However, even Divine Doctor Mu was helpless against the strange illness that Old Master Tang suffered from.
Ultimately, Divine Doctor Mu could only suppress the illness and had to personally administer acupuncture and therapy every six months, essentially prolonging Old Master Tang's life.
During the meal, Tang Xinwan and Xiao Yurou chatted as they ate, effectively ignoring Ye Cangtian's presence.
However, Ye Cangtian didn't find it boring. Looking at the two beautiful women before him was quite a feast for the eyes, greatly increasing his appetite!
At this moment, Tang Xinwan stepped out to take a phone call.
She returned with a somewhat unpleasant expression. She forced a smile and said, "Yurou, I have an urgent matter to attend to at the company, so I won't be dining with you anymore. I'll have Ye Cangtian see you home later!"
Xiao Yurou nodded, understanding that the other party had an urgent matter. "It's alright, go ahead and attend to it!"
Tang Xinwan was indeed in a hurry because she had received a call from her assistant stating that her uncle, Tang Yongchang, had arrived at the company and seemed intent on reclaiming control of the company under the Tang family's name.
Of course, she had to return to the company to stop him, so she couldn't bother with the meal!
Soon, only Ye Cangtian and Xiao Yurou remained at the dining table.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward. Xiao Yurou hesitated several times before speaking. Ye Cangtian looked up with a smile and said, "Miss Xiao, feel free to say whatever you wish!"
Xiao Yurou's delicate face blushed, and she finally spoke, "How did Mr. Ye meet Xinwan? And how did you two... come to be...?"
She and Tang Xinwan had been friends for many years, and she knew that the latter was very cautious about relationships, showing no favor to many rich young masters. Therefore, she couldn't understand why she would get engaged to Ye Cangtian!
After all, to her, they didn't seem like a good match at all! Especially seeing Ye Cangtian's casual flip-flops and his unrestrained demeanor while eating.
It was like a nobody with a rich and beautiful woman!
Ye Cangtian put down his chopsticks and said, without blushing or breathing heavily, "To be honest, we've only known each other for a short time, but she was deeply attracted by my charm, so she insisted on getting engaged to me. Alas, women!"
"..." Xiao Yurou was speechless.
Although she didn't know why they got together, she believed it was definitely not as Ye Cangtian claimed!
After the meal!
As the two walked out of the restaurant, Ye Cangtian turned to Xiao Yurou. "Where is Miss Xiao going? Shall I give you a ride?"
Xiao Yurou brushed her hair and smiled faintly, "No need to trouble you. I can take a taxi home myself!"
"It's not a trouble, not a trouble at all. I have nothing to do anyway. Otherwise, Xinwan would blame me for not taking good care of you!" Ye Cangtian waved his hand.
"Then... alright! To Yangzhou First Hospital!" As soon as Xiao Yurou agreed, she was about to express her thanks when she saw Ye Cangtian flag down a taxi.
Fine! She thought Ye Cangtian was going to drive her.
As the two got into the taxi, Ye Cangtian suddenly frowned and looked back with a strange expression.
It seemed someone was following them?
From the moment he and Xiao Yurou left the restaurant, he had a feeling of being watched.
And now, a car was tailing them!
However, he didn't pay it much attention. Judging by the clumsy tracking methods, it shouldn't be his enemies! He didn't mind playing along.
...
A moment later, the taxi stopped at the hospital entrance.
After Xiao Yurou got out, she smiled and thanked Ye Cangtian, "Thank you for giving me a ride, Mr. Ye. You can head back now!"
Just then, several doctors in white coats walked by. One of them, wearing glasses, walked over with a smile. "Yurou, why didn't you join everyone for lunch today? Have you eaten?"
"Director Zhang, I met a friend for lunch and have already eaten!"
As soon as Xiao Yurou finished speaking, the smile on Director Zhang's face immediately became stiff. He glanced at Ye Cangtian with some hostility before asking, "Yurou, who is this...?"
"Ye Cangtian! Miss Xiao and I are friends!" Ye Cangtian proactively extended his hand with a smile.
The Director Zhang glanced dismissively at Ye Cangtian's outstretched hand and, without giving him any face, turned to Xiao Yurou and said, "Yurou, there's an emergency surgery this afternoon. We should go up and prepare!"
He was ignored!
Ye Cangtian chuckled and retracted his hand. Even a fool could see that this young attending physician was likely a suitor of Xiao Yurou. Was he seeing me as a love rival?
Xiao Yurou looked at Ye Cangtian with an apologetic expression. "Mr. Ye, I'll be heading up now!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded, not minding.
He lit a cigarette and didn't rush to take a taxi home, instead loitering around the hospital entrance.
Soon, a black commercial van parked not far away had its doors opened. A group of people alighted with great momentum and walked menacingly towards him.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled brilliantly and exhaled a smoke ring.
"They're finally here!"
Looking at the group of thugs wielding sticks, exuding a strong street aura, Ye Cangtian finally understood what was going on!
Tang Xinwan was right. Young Master He certainly held grudges and sought revenge! In such a short time, he had found people to retaliate against me.
"Ye Cangtian, right? Someone wants one of your legs!" the young man at the front said arrogantly.
"Tsk tsk, did Young Master He send you guys?"
Ye Cangtian smiled, and then the corners of his mouth curled up as he chuckled, "But you guys are really lucky. There's a hospital right next door!"
The leading young man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "It really is a hospital! Guys, we can be more confident in our actions later. He won't die!"
...
Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the hospital!
As Xiao Yurou emerged from the changing room, she saw Director Zhang peering out the window at something and asked, "Director Zhang, when does the surgery start?"
"Yurou, what kind of people do you associate with? Are they all just social scum?"
"Look at that guy, he's actually hanging out with a bunch of hoodlums!" the doctor surnamed Zhang scoffed disdainfully.
Xiao Yurou was taken aback, then walked forward to look down.
At that moment, she saw several young men surrounding Ye Cangtian, holding sticks, and looking like they were about to make a move!
Her face instantly turned pale with fright. Although she didn't know what had happened, she could tell at a glance that Ye Cangtian was in trouble.
The crucial point was that he was Tang Xinwan's fiancé!
"Director Zhang, quickly, call the police!" Xiao Yurou saw that the group of young men had started to act and quickly turned and ran towards the stairs.
