"So, is this a case of fighting poison with poison?" Ye Taihe seemed to understand after hearing his explanation.
“Yes, now it’s a matter of fighting poison with poison.” Jiang Yongkang nodded slowly. “I have asked someone to find the medicinal ingredients. These ingredients are quite special and will take some time. Please be patient, Elder Ye. I will definitely be able to cure your illness.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang." Ye Taihe felt much more at ease after hearing his persuasive words. Feeling unwell after the treatment, he lay down to rest.
"Mr. Jiang, this way please." Ye Chengen respectfully invited Jiang Yongkang to leave.
"Mr. Ye, is there something you want to tell me?" Jiang Yongkang asked as he stood up after they left.
He wasn't stupid. Seeing Ye Chengen running around and looking hesitant, he knew Ye Chengen must have something to say to him.
He also noticed that the Ye father and son were not of one mind. Ye Chengen seemed to have ulterior motives regarding the treatment of the illness, which made things interesting. The two of them were very likely to turn against each other for the sake of the family business.
"Mr. Ye, I mainly want to ask about my father's illness... how is it?" Ye Chengen sighed and said, "My father is seriously ill, and as his son, I can only watch helplessly. I feel really bad about it."
“If I could suffer in place of my father, I would go without hesitation.”
"President Ye, please rest assured, I am certain I can cure your father's illness. As long as the medicinal guide is obtained, there shouldn't be any major problems." Jiang Yongkang smiled slightly, his words ambiguous.
Although Ye Chengen lacked ability, it didn't mean he was a fool. He instantly grasped the other meaning in Jiang Yongkang's words: "Is that medicinal ingredient so hard to find?"
"Do you think it's easy to find something that can cure incurable diseases?" Jiang Yongkang glanced at him and said indifferently, "It requires a huge amount of manpower and resources, and these things are not something you can get just because you have money."
“Yes, Mr. Jiang is absolutely right.” Ye Chengen quickly flattered, “Mr. Jiang is an extraordinary person. There are many things that ordinary people like us cannot fathom.”
"However, if you need anything, Mr. Jiang, just let me know, and I will find a way to gather those things."
"Okay, Mr. Ye, just wait patiently. As long as nothing goes wrong, I will definitely find a way to cure your father." Jiang Yongkang nodded.
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Jiang, after my father recovers from his illness, how will his health be? Will he still be as strong as before, or will he need to take medicine every day and be unable to handle family affairs?" Ye Chengen asked again.
"Then it depends on you, Mr. Ye." Who is Jiang Yongkang? He instantly understood the meaning behind Ye Chengen's words. Judging from his tone, it seemed that he didn't really want his father to recover completely.
“Old Master Ye is getting on in years, and after such a serious illness, his health is definitely not what it used to be,” Jiang Yongkang said. “From now on, the Ye family will still have to rely on you, Mr. Ye.”
"Understood, haha, Mr. Jiang, thank you so much." Ye Chengen immediately understood what Jiang Yongkang meant. He laughed and said, "From now on, when I'm in charge of the Ye family, I will definitely treat you as an honored guest."
"Mr. Jiang, I'm entrusting my father to you. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything."
"Okay." Jiang Yongkang nodded and left with steady steps.
Ye Chengen also learned what he wanted to know. He hummed a tune and left.
Even if Ye Taihe survives, so what? After this serious illness, he will never be able to rise again. In the end, won't everything in the Ye family still belong to him?
Jiang Yongkang had just stepped out the door when he ran into Chen Zhengde.
"Senior brother," Chen Zhengde greeted respectfully.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yongkang glanced at him.
"I've come to check on Elder Ye's condition, and it's been a long time since we, his fellow disciples, have sat down and chatted together. So I'd like to invite you to have a short chat with me tonight. Do you have time?" Chen Zhengde said.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Yongkang looked at Chen Zhengde, sensing that Chen Zhengde seemed to want to say something but was holding back.
"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to have a few drinks with my senior brother and reminisce about our brotherhood," Chen Zhengde said.
“Okay, you can suggest a place tonight. I’ll cancel my social engagements so we brothers can have a good get-together.” Jiang Yongkang nodded.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you tonight, Senior Brother." Chen Zhengde nodded, turned and left.
That evening, Xia Hanyue drove the car while Ye Xingchen sat in the passenger seat, looking thoughtful.
"Something on your mind?" Xia Hanyue glanced at Ye Xingchen.
"No." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"Don't try to hide it. Look at your expression, you seem to be deep in thought." Xia Hanyue said, "You're just like your dad. In fact, it's always because you're indecisive at times like this."
"Auntie, you're really amazing. You saw it right away." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly and nodded slowly, saying, "Actually, there are still some things I'm hesitant about."
"About that old man from the Ye family?" Xia Hanyue instantly guessed what Ye Xingchen was thinking.
"How come you can't hide anything from me?" Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated. "That's right, it's about that old man from the Ye family."
“You’re a free spirit, not one to be troubled by love. But when faced with something you can’t decide, I can’t think of anything that could make you like this except for the Ye family.” Xia Hanyue smiled slightly and said, “You’re struggling with whether or not to cure that old man.”
"A little." Ye Xingchen nodded: "It's all about bloodline. Some things can't be said to be absolute just because you can do them."
"It must have been tough on you." Xia Hanyue sighed softly. "You're so conflicted. When that old man from the Ye family went to such extremes, he never considered your life or death."
Ye Xingchen fell silent, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, I really can't understand why he was so ruthless back then."
"Just because of those grudges with your grandfather? I don't think things are that simple." Xia Hanyue slowly shook her head.
"What was his purpose?" Ye Xingchen asked, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Only God knows. I know him better than anyone else." Xia Hanyue smiled slightly and said, "Coming from a prestigious family, even if he makes a mistake, he will not admit it. He would rather keep the things from back then to himself than tell you."
"Alright then." Ye Xingchen sneered, "I hope his mouth will still be this tight when he's facing a life-or-death situation."
"Are you here today to cause trouble for the Ghost Doctor Jiang Yongkang?" Xia Hanyue glanced at Ye Xingchen.
“That’s right, Jiang Yongkang must be eliminated.” Ye Xingchen said, “He must use his real skills to treat Ye Taihe’s illness. I respect his unparalleled medical skills.”
