"Dr. Ye, please, save my grandfather!"

Shangguan Mingyue, holding onto the desperate Shangguan Haokun, almost cried out to Ye Chen for help.

“I have already made it very clear to the Xiao family that if you kneel and kowtow three times and nine times in front of the Xuanhu Residence, I will save your grandfather.”

Although Ye Chen found the woman quite attractive, he was disgusted by the grandfather and granddaughter's behavior at the Xiao family. He wouldn't go back on his word. He wasn't surprised at all that Shangguan Haokun suddenly vomited blood; if he said he only had five days left to live, wouldn't he be doing justice to that number if he didn't cough up some blood?

"Ye Chen, don't go too far! I've already begged you like this!"

Shangguan Mingyue changed her disheveled appearance and glared at Ye Chen fiercely.

"Why are you begging me? Is yelling and shouting how you ask for help?"

"Then how much more do you want me to beg you? You need to know that we are the Shangguan family!"

Shangguan Mingyue's face flushed red with anger. Although Ye Chen was very powerful, unparalleled in both medicine and martial arts, he was ultimately just a lone man. How could he possibly ask the mighty Shangguan family to lower themselves to such a lowly position? Moreover, they had already lowered themselves enough, yet Ye Chen was still showing such disrespect. Shangguan Mingyue was truly enraged!

Shangguan Haokun, who had vomited blood three times in a row, looked at Ye Chen with great dissatisfaction, feeling that he was really too ungrateful! Shangguan Haokun felt that he still had five days left and still had the right to be proud.

"I don't care whether you're from the Shangguan family or the Xiaguan family, all I know is that you must do as I say!"

Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. At this critical juncture, the Shangguan family still dared to put on airs in front of him. They deserved to die of illness!

"Ye Chen! You! You've gone too far!"

Shangguan Mingyue was so angry she was jumping around like a rabbit; she felt the Shangguan family had been severely insulted!

"Ye Chen, do you really think that only you can cure me?"

Shangguan Haokun stared at Ye Chen with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"You can go find someone else."

Ye Chen wasn't that arrogant. The world was vast, and there were probably people more skilled in medicine than him. But the Shangguan family might not be able to find someone like him, otherwise they wouldn't have come to him for help! Moreover, in his opinion, apart from his fairy master, no one in the world could surpass him in medical skills!

As one of the most gifted individuals in history, Ye Chen had a basic understanding of himself.

"Ten million, save my life!"

Seeing that Ye Chen refused to help, Shangguan Haokun had no choice but to quote a price. People like them just wanted money, right?

Ye Chen remained unmoved. What a joke! He has assets of at least a trillion yuan now. Who are you trying to fool with this little bit of money?

"One hundred million!"

Ye Chen remained unmoved.

"One billion!"

Shangguan Haokun reluctantly offered 1 billion yuan, which was equivalent to a quarter's profit for the Shangguan family.

"I'll give you 10 billion, will you shut up?"

Ye Chen was getting impatient. Trying to throw money at him? He'd really come to the wrong place!

"What did you say? You..."

Shangguan Haokun was furious. He was certain the other party didn't have that much money and was just saying that to provoke him! He was truly in agony now. He couldn't win a fight, he couldn't bribe them, and pleading was useless. If things continued like this, he would really only die!

"Ye Chen, don't be so disrespectful. Our Shangguan family has plenty of money. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, we can hire experts to subdue you. Then you'll suffer the consequences!"

Unable to contain her temper, Shangguan Mingyue launched into a tirade against Ye Chen.

Ye Chen spread his hands: "You're welcome to send someone to deal with me, but you'll need the time."

One sentence left Shangguan Mingyue stunned. Ye Chen was indeed too powerful. Even if the Shangguan family had the money to hire a master, they probably wouldn't be able to find someone like him in a short time. People like Jin Bao had taken the family three whole years to find in several remote mountain forests. In five days, they wouldn't even be able to find a trace of a master, let alone a single one! Thinking of Jin Bao and the others, she couldn't help but recall the scene of Ye Chen using his magic to defeat them. This guy's martial arts were simply too high!

She really regretted her initial attitude towards Ye Chen... no, she was extremely regretful. If her grandfather really died in Pengcheng, she wouldn't need to return to the family, because all that awaited her was a merciless slaughter!

This is the cruelty of the wealthy!

"Ye Chen, if you don't treat my illness, I'll tell the whole world that you raped me!"

Shangguan Mingyue seemed to have lost her mind from anger, uttering such words. At the same time, Shangguan Haokun suddenly vomited blood for the fourth time with a "poof," the blood spurting out like water from a nozzle, staining the ground beside him.

"grandfather!"

Shangguan Mingyue was terrified and quickly helped her grandfather up. If he continued vomiting like this, he wouldn't last even a day, let alone five! This made her even more anxious. She had to save her grandfather immediately! She immediately turned her gaze to Leng Qingqiu and grabbed her fair wrist: "Dr. Leng, please, plead with your junior brother to save my grandfather!"

Leng Qingqiu said helplessly, "Miss Shangguan, you can plead for me yourself, why do you have to make me do it?"

Leng Qingqiu showed no mercy, making no attempt to plead for the Shangguan family. Having offended her junior brother, she naturally had to stand by his side! No matter what happened, even if the universe were to end, that wouldn't change!

"Leng Qingqiu, you're so disrespectful!"

Shangguan Mingyue got angry again: "Let me tell you, don't think that only you and your fellow disciples are good at medicine. I'll go to the Chinese Medicine Association and find some experts there!"
