"I'm willing to do anything to save my grandfather." Liu Qingmei was both surprised and delighted, completely forgetting about Ye Xingchen standing to the side.
This doctor is amazing! He treats a whole plane full of patients.
The doctor cured the little boy's chronic illness, which he had since birth, in just a few strokes. He was very skilled and even miraculous.
"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. We need to tie the old man's hands and feet so he can't move," Ye Xingchen said.
"What?!" Chang Zhen exploded. "Impossible! I, Chang Zhen, have lived an upright life, and in all my years in the underworld, I have never yielded to anyone. You want to tie my hands and feet? No way..."
"Grandpa, this is to treat your illness, not to surrender to the enemy. What's wrong with tying you up?" Liu Qingmei was speechless.
The old man was a prominent figure in his youth and had never yielded to anyone, so he felt that tying him up was an insult.
“Yes, Grandpa, please don’t shy away from medical treatment.” Ye Xingchen said with a smile, “I can tell that you are a strong-willed person, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept this treatment method.”
"Do you have any other way? Even cutting a few pieces of flesh from my body would do." Old Chang's anger had not subsided: "Your method is too insulting."
"Grandpa, this is the only way. Besides, how is this an insult? This is for treating an illness." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Please don't think of it that way."
“Dad, you’ve had this illness for years, and you’ve seen many doctors without any help. Today we finally met Mr. Ye, so please give him a try.” Chang Wentong also advised from the side, “You can’t avoid seeking medical help because of your illness.”
"Grandpa, please try his method, I beg you," Liu Qingmei pleaded.
"No way." Old Chang waved his hand dismissively; the old man was incredibly stubborn.
"Then I won't come back anymore." Liu Qingmei said angrily.
"No, Meimei!" Old Chang panicked when he heard this. He loved his granddaughter the most. What if she really didn't come back?
"Then you agree," Liu Qingmei said.
"Well... alright, I agree, but I'm telling you, this is the only time, listen carefully." Old Chang gritted his teeth and said, "And it can't get out, I can't afford to lose face."
"Alright, I understand, Mr. Ye. Is there anything else we need to prepare?" Liu Qingmei turned to look at Ye Xingchen.
"Set up a pot, kill a farm-raised pig, then invite a chef to stew it, then find a few jars of aged wine, warm the wine on the side, and the old man, with his hands and feet tied, lies on a bench."
Ye Xingchen said, "Also, Grandpa, please bear with it. You can't eat anything tomorrow. Remember to tie it up tightly and make sure it doesn't break free, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
"What kind of treatment method is this?" The three generations of the family were stunned. They thought Ye Xingchen's treatment method was something special, but it turned out to be just this?
"Don't ask questions, just do as I say. Remember, you can't eat anything tomorrow, no matter how hungry you are," Ye Xingchen said. "Otherwise, you won't achieve the desired effect. And I only have one chance. If I can't completely solve this problem this time, I won't be able to help you."
"Well... alright, I won't eat." Old Chang swallowed hard. Not letting him eat was really difficult for him.
He had just finished six large pork knuckles, and now he was starting to feel hungry again. If he wasn't allowed to eat, it would be like taking his life.
"Remember, you must endure the hunger for a whole day, even if you faint from hunger, you must not eat anything." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, how about I perform acupuncture on you tomorrow so you can sleep until dusk, and then we can start directly."
"Who do you think you are, kid? Do you think I don't even have this much patience?" the old man roared.
"Grandpa, listen to Ye Xingchen. Tomorrow you should stay home and sleep all day. Don't cause any trouble." Liu Qingmei interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, my dear granddaughter," the old man said with a beaming smile.
"Alright, Dad, I'll make the arrangements right away." Chang Wentong said goodbye and then left.
"Have Biaozi arrange a room for Mr. Ye to stay here tonight," said Old Chang. "If he can be cured, he will be a distinguished guest of the Chang family. If Mr. Ye needs anything in the Northeast, he can give us his orders directly."
"Thank you very much, Elder Chang." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"You brat, you better pray that your method works tomorrow, otherwise..." Old Chang snorted and gave Ye Xingchen a warning look.
The old man has a foul and stubborn temper, and he's incredibly obstinate. In the Chang family, probably only Liu Qingmei can control him.
"Don't worry, if I can't cure Elder Chang, I'll cut off my head and let him kick it around like a football." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Kid, it's good to be confident, but don't be arrogant." Old Chang's face darkened; Ye Xingchen's words were a bit too arrogant.
Biaozi led Ye Xingchen to a room. The room was quite large and was usually used for receiving guests.
At this time, Ye Xingchen also received information about the division of power in Jiyang City and the three surrounding provinces and cities, and he flipped through it and read it carefully.
In recent years, the population of the three provinces has decreased sharply, all due to outflow of people. After all, the winters in this area are too long and the economy is sluggish.
Moreover, the power structure in this area is extremely complex, especially in Jiyang City, where the situation has become almost dangerous.
Among these forces, the Chang family ranks first.
The Chang family's influence extends beyond the black market; it permeates the entire Northeast.
Ji Yang was being guarded by his second son, Chang Wenhu. Although the old man Chang Zhen was quite old, he had many tricks up his sleeve and a high status in the underworld. People in the underworld gave him a lot of face.
"Looks like I came to the right place today." Ye Xingchen closed the documents in his hand. Building a good relationship with the Chang family was a successful first step. After all, the Chang brothers were known as the Three Tigers of Northeast China. Although their base was in the black market, Ji Yang and Liao Yang were not weak either.
With the support of the Chang family, Ye Xingchen's pressure here will be greatly reduced.
However, the Na family is a hidden force in Jiyang, and Na Yuanzhen is up to no good in secret, so we have to be on guard.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door, and Liu Qingsou's voice rang out: "Ye Xingchen, are you asleep?"
"No," Ye Xingchen replied, then opened the door.
Liu Qingmei, standing at the door, had changed into a cheongsam. The plain-colored cheongsam perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure.
Her captivating eyes were mesmerizing, yet she possessed a pure and lovely face, making her alluring without being vulgar. This kind of woman is most likely to ignite a man's most primal desires.
