Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Helpless_1
Despite the efforts of Western doctors to lower Hu Wansan’s fever using all kinds of methods,
the results were minimal at best.
If they tried to reduce the fever too much, Hu Wansan’s blood vessels, muscle tissues, and even bones would burst.
Under the extreme high temperature, Hu Wansan had also fallen into a deep coma.
It seemed that death was but a step away.
This time, those Western doctors truly had no more tricks up their sleeves.
Cure, they could not.
Touch, they dared not.
What was to be done?
At this critical juncture, Bai Yunfei immediately thought of someone.
Ye Fei!
But when he mentioned Ye Fei’s name, the Western doctors all laughed.
"Mr. Bai, it’s not that we question you. You might not know, but basically, we represent the academic elite of Western medicine in China. If we can’t cure the illness, expecting a practitioner of Chinese medicine to manage is a bit, heh... absurd."
"Right, Mr. Bai, apart from feeding patients herbs, acupuncture, and cupping, what can Chinese medicine actually treat? It’s utterly nonsense."
"At the moment, Hu could probably be maintained with medication and high technology for another couple of hours, long enough to see his family one last time. If a Chinese medicine practitioner carelessly treats him and messes up, it’s guaranteed he’ll die right away!"
Bai Yunfei didn’t understand why these Western doctors looked down on Chinese medicine so much.
Could it be that Chinese medicine truly cannot save lives and treat diseases?
But his own wife, wasn’t it Chinese medicine that had cured her?
Bai Yunfei’s heart was caught in fierce turmoil.
After much deliberation, he ultimately chose to believe in Chinese medicine.
"The trouble with Mr. Hu occurred in my establishment; I should take responsibility. I will personally invite Mr. Ye to diagnose and treat Mr. Hu."
Several Western doctors hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Mr. Bai, you mustn’t! Entrusting Mr. Hu’s life to a Chinese medicine practitioner is no joke."
"Enough! Stop with the nonsense, it’s settled!"
Bai Yunfei turned and headed toward the back hall.
The Western doctors shook their heads and sneered dismissively.
When he arrived at the back hall, Ye Fei and Wang Jianglong were drinking merrily.
With his heart already in suspense, Bai Yunfei was even more unsettled at the sight of Ye Fei’s flushed cheeks and the strong smell of alcohol.
In such a drunken state, could he still treat a patient?
But at this point, without at least trying, Hu Wansan was certain to die.
So he was left with no choice but to tough it out!
"Mr. Ye, I have an awkward request. I hope you can put aside our past grudges and save Mr. Hu’s life. May I ask if my request..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Jianglong slammed his cup down, interrupting him.
"Let my brother Ye save that son of a bitch? What kind of a sick joke is that! Mr. Bai, don’t tell me you didn’t see how that Hu treated my brother, did you?"
"To hell with him! If my brother hadn’t stopped me just now, I’d have blasted that bastard to smithereens! Don’t think for a moment I wouldn’t dare!"
"Offending my brother Ye, let alone this so-called richest man in the city, even if he were the Jade Emperor himself, I, Wang Jianglong, would dare to fight him to the death!"
Bai Yunfei was stunned.
He had not expected the captain of Qianlong Squad, one of China’s top special forces, to be so fiercely loyal to a doctor.
Looking back on Ye Fei’s inscrutable wealth, unfathomable medical skills, and power,
A striking guess flashed through Bai Yunfei’s mind.
Could it be that Ye Fei was hiding an even more formidable identity?
With this speculation, Bai Yunfei’s attitude towards Ye Fei became even more reverent.
This time, he bowed even lower, his face full of supplication,
like a humbled old man.
"Mr. Ye, as Captain Wang said, Hu Wansan did indeed speak disrespectfully and rudely to you. For that alone, he deserves to die!"
"But no matter what, this man has been my acquaintance for more than a decade. I really cannot bear to watch him die like this without trying to help."
"So, Mr. Ye, I beg you, could you please consider my old face and save him? Later on, whatever punishment you want to impose on him, is fine!"
With a snap, Wang Jianglong smashed his wine cup to pieces.
"Bai Yunfei, do you think just because you have some prestige here in Tianhe, my brother must give you face? Let me tell you, today, no matter who comes to plead, it’s useless! I won’t save him, period!"
Bai Yunfei grimaced, looking at the irate Wang Jianglong and then at the silent Ye Fei,
and with a steely resolve, he began to kneel.
Yet before his knees could touch the ground, an invisible force lifted him up, back to his feet.
"Mr. Bai, there’s no need to go that far. You’ve said enough; if I, Ye Fei, remain unresponsive, would I not be ungrateful?"
"Mr. Ye, you agree to save him?!"
"Yes."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye! You truly are a man of great virtue!"
Bai Yunfei bowed in gratitude several times over.
"Ye..."
Just as Wang Jianglong was about to object, Ye Fei silenced him with a glance.
He understood Wang Jianglong’s intention clearly.
He also saw through Bai Yunfei’s ulterior motives.
But still, he chose to save the man because of Bai Yunfei’s charitable deeds for the disaster-stricken area.
A good turn deserves another, and Ye Fei deemed it an act of repayment to the disaster area.
