Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Accident_1
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Fei dropped his daughter off at kindergarten.
On the way home, he listlessly started scrolling through his phone.
A few trending searches seemed especially eye-watering.
"A pervert, seeking Internet fame, live-streams himself eating feces with no limit to his desperation for attention!"
"A suspected mentally ill person streaks in the city center square, now under investigation."
"A forty-year-old woman, seeking thrills, performs a two-hour durian-slapping act on a live stream. She was later resuscitated and saved but with her face completely disfigured."
"..."
Seeing these news items, Ye Fei smirked knowingly, thinking to himself that Gao Feng’s efficiency in handling matters was quite high.
Just then, a series of urgent ring tones from his phone broke the silence.
It was Gao Feng calling.
"Hello? Boss Gao, what’s up?"
"Mr. Ye, there’s trouble, a big problem has occurred!"
Hearing this, Ye Fei’s brow furrowed, "Is there a problem with the concert?"
"No, it’s at the medical hall!"
"The medical hall?"
Ye Fei was puzzled. With Divine Doctors Wan and Li in charge of the medical hall, how could there be a problem?
"What exactly happened?"
"Ah, it’s not clear over the phone. Mr. Ye, you better come here in person. I’ve already sent a car to pick you up."
"Okay."
Putting down the phone, Ye Fei washed up quickly, skipping breakfast, and rushed over to the medical hall.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Gao Feng sitting anxiously in a chair.
Wan Jing was pacing in the hall, wringing his hands.
The other major figures in the medical community also appeared deeply troubled and dejected.
Upon seeing Ye Fei, they quickly gathered around him.
"Sit down, and we can talk slowly," Ye Fei said and waved his hand to take a steady seat in the center.
"What exactly happened?"
Gao Feng glanced at Wan Jing, who hurriedly spoke, "Mr. Ye, here’s what happened. Yesterday afternoon, a group of people came to the medical hall, saying that their family head had contracted a strange illness. They insisted it was inconvenient for him to come in for consultation and demanded a house call instead.
Since I was busy with other matters at the time, Old Li went on my behalf.
But he’s been gone for an entire night without any word."
At this point, Gao Feng continued the account.
"Worried about Divine Doctor Li’s safety, I inquired through various channels first thing this morning about the people who visited yesterday, only to find out they are from the Dongling Zhu Family!"
"The Dongling Zhu Family? Keep going," Ye Fei urged, noting the visible fear on Gao Feng’s face when he mentioned the Dongling Zhu Family, signaling that the Zhu Family was no ordinary clan.
"Upon further investigation, I learned that the young Miss Zhu had been struck by a mysterious illness three years ago and had been bedridden ever since."
"The Zhu Family has been searching for renowned doctors ever since but to no avail."
"After being treated by Divine Doctor Li last night, Miss Zhu was reduced to a vegetative state."
"The Zhu Family head was enraged and immediately condemned Divine Doctor Li to death row, and now his life or death is unknown!"
Ye Fei nodded and probed Gao Feng, "With your prestige and connections, saving Divine Doctor Li shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"
Gao Feng flashed an awkward smile, "Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? If I had that kind of power, would I be sitting here doing nothing?"
"Oh? So the Zhu Family’s influence surpasses yours?"
Gao Feng didn’t hesitate to bow his head slightly in defeat, "Indeed, the Zhu Family possesses assets worth hundreds of billions and has influence that spans the two provinces of Qingyun and Canglang."
"Especially in Dongling City, the capital of Canglang Province, under decades of Zhu Guangbo’s meticulous management, their influence is deeply entrenched and reaches its zenith."
"To put it bluntly, my power compared to theirs is like comparing a small stream to the vast ocean!"
Ye Fei could tell there was some exaggeration in Gao Feng’s analogy.
But overall, it was clear that the Zhu Family’s power indeed exceeded Gao Feng’s.
"Alright then, in that case, I’ll have to make a trip there myself," Ye Fei said, standing up to leave.
Gao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to block him.
"Mr. Ye, where are you going?"
"Where else? To the Zhu Family, to save Divine Doctor Li."
"Oh my dear Mr. Ye, Miss Zhu is almost dead, going there now is like walking straight into the tiger’s den!"
In Gao Feng’s view, even if Ye Fei’s medical skills were supreme, it was impossible to simply wake a comatose patient.
If Ye Fei failed to treat her, he might end up in jeopardy himself.
Wan Jing and the others felt the same way.
"Mr. Ye, we should think this through thoroughly; it’s not wise to act rashly!"
Ye Fei chuckled.
"If you’re telling me not to act, then why did you call me here?"
Gao Feng exchanged a glance with Wan Jing, who cleared his throat and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Ye, you have a close relationship with General Bu from the Qingyun Province military, right? We were hoping you could ask the general for help, maybe he could mediate."
Ye Fei shook his head helplessly, "There’s no need for that; I can handle this myself. There’s no point in bothering others unnecessarily."
"But Mr. Ye, the patient has become a vegetable; how can you possibly solve this..."
Gao Feng paused, a sudden realization dawning on him. He immediately grabbed Ye Fei’s arm, "Mr. Ye, you’re not thinking of storming the Zhu Family to rescue him, are you? That’s absolutely not advisable! I know you’re incredibly powerful, but so is the Zhu Family, full of martial experts; it’s like a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair! You must not take such a risk!"
"What are you thinking? I’m going to save someone, not to kill," Ye Fei replied.
Wan Jing became so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "Mr. Ye! Don’t you understand? To save Old Li, you have to bring Miss Zhu back from the brink of death, but such a difficult task—how could that be possible!"
With time pressing, Ye Fei had no leisure to explain further. He got into Gao Feng’s car and headed straight for Dongling.
Gao Feng was hopping mad with anxiety, "Quickly! Find a way to contact General Bu and tell him Mr. Ye is in danger!"
