Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Lingfang Pavilion_1
After leaving Qin Feng’s place, Lu Yifei pushed a small cart into another presidential suite.
Because Ji Jinpeng was waiting for her there.
Ji Jinpeng was surprised that Lu Yifei came back so quickly.
He looked at Lu Yifei with a puzzled face and asked, "How come you got here so fast? Is everything taken care of?"
"A beautiful woman suddenly burst in and gave Qin Feng a good scolding, then that woman stormed out, slamming the door behind her."
On her way back here, Lu Yifei had been extra cautious. She had waited until Ouyang Bingbing left before she entered Ji Jinpeng’s room.
"That beautiful woman?"
"She looked somewhat familiar, but I don’t know her. It felt like I had seen her on television."
"Are you talking about Ouyang Bingbing?"
"Ouyang Bingbing?"
Lu Yifei slightly furrowed her brows as if trying to remember. Finally, she nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, Mr. Ji, I recall that woman did look a lot like Ouyang Bingbing. But isn’t Ouyang Bingbing an international superstar? How could she be involved with that guy?
When she caught me with Qin Feng, it was as if she had caught a cheater, and she flew into a tremendous rage. However, Ouyang Bingbing is quite cultured and did not lay a hand on me. She didn’t get physical with Qin Feng either, but her gaze was more vicious than if she had wanted to kill someone. It was obvious that she was extremely disappointed with Qin Feng at that moment."
With these words from Lu Yifei, Ji Jinpeng felt suddenly overjoyed inside.
He was planning to propose to the Ouyang Family during Ouyang Yi’s eightieth birthday celebration.
If on that day, Ouyang Bingbing brought Qin Feng along, declaring him as her boyfriend,
How then could he still make his marriage proposal?
The Ji Family was the fourth ranking existence among the eight great families, and they were quite conscious of their reputation.
With such a scandal, Ouyang Bingbing would definitely not bring Qin Feng to attend Ouyang Yi’s eightieth birthday celebration anymore.
In that case, Ji Jinpeng’s chances of successfully making a marriage proposal that day would greatly increase.
The Ouyang Family was ranked second among the eight great families, their strength a good deal greater than the Ji Family’s.
But Ouyang Bingbing’s father had been expelled from the Ouyang Family.
Therefore, Ji Jinpeng’s proposal to Ouyang Bingbing could not be considered reaching too high.
If Ouyang Bingbing married into the Ji Family, it would be an enormous boon for Ouyang Rui, the confirmed gambler.
With his daughter’s influence, he, the father cast out from the family home, might even get the chance to return to the Ouyang Family.
Thinking this way, Ji Jinpeng immediately decided to go meet Ouyang Rui.
After all, once he married Ouyang Bingbing, Ouyang Rui would become his father-in-law.
It would be impolite to meet his future father-in-law empty-handed.
Therefore, Ji Jinpeng decided to go to the usual place to pick up some gifts.
Half an hour later, a red Ferrari pulled up in front of Lingfang Pavilion.
The three-second knockout pill Ji Jinpeng used was bought from here.
The owner of Lingfang Pavilion, Ge Buqun, was one of the Capital’s four Divine Doctors.
The medicine he sold was completely different from those found elsewhere.
Strange, yet remarkably effective, it was known as Spiritual Medicine.
As soon as Ji Jinpeng entered, Ge Buqun immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Mr. Ji, you’re here again? What would you like to buy from me this time?"
"Doctor Ge, I’m thinking of paying a visit to my future father-in-law, and it wouldn’t be proper to arrive empty-handed, would it? So, I’d like to buy some gifts from you. Besides, the old master of the Ouyang Family will celebrate his eightieth birthday in a couple of days, and I should prepare some birthday gifts. People of advanced age need nothing more than the Spiritual Medicine from your place, right?"
"Your future father-in-law? Who might that be?" Ge Buqun was very curious.
He only conducted business with the wealthy and noble families in his Lingfang Pavilion.
Therefore, he paid special attention to the gossip about these affluent families.
"Ouyang Rui."
Ji Jinpeng answered without concealment.
"Ouyang Rui? That third son who was driven out of the Ouyang Family, his daughter Ouyang Bingbing is an international megastar! She’s incredibly beautiful. I met that Ouyang Rui recently. He came here to buy medicine, but didn’t have the money, so I didn’t sell to him. Ouyang Rui’s body, he has serious problems."
Ge Buqun hinted as much.
He was setting a trap, waiting for Ji Jinpeng to jump in.
Of course, he wouldn’t harm Ji Jinpeng, at most, he’d just extract a bit more money from him.
Families like the Ji Family, a top-tier noble family, never lacked money.
Ge Buqun’s words sparked great interest in Ji Jinpeng.
"You said Ouyang Rui’s body has serious problems, what kind of problems?"
"You should have heard of Ouyang Rui’s character, right? Not only is he a confirmed gambler, but also a drunkard, and above all, a lecher. How could his frail body withstand such ravages of alcohol and lust? Now, his body has been hollowed out by his indulgences. Whether it’s his liver or his kidneys, they’re practically done for. With the way he looks now, he has at most half a year left."
"Doctor Ge, do you have a medicine here that can cure him?"
"If it were anywhere else, there would definitely be no cure. If it were anyone else asking, the answer would still be no cure. However, Mr. Ji, since you’re the one asking, I certainly have a medicine here."
Ge Buqun took out a golden box and opened it.
Inside were nine small pills, dark and dull, looking as if they were made from the ash accumulated at the bottom of a cauldron.
"These are Rejuvenation Pills. Nine pills make up one course of treatment, and it only takes nine courses for Ouyang Rui to return to life from the brink, as if dead wood coming into bloom again with the arrival of spring."
"Rejuvenation Pill? How much for one course of treatment?" Ji Jinpeng inquired.
"The Rejuvenation Pill I make uses all the rarest medicinal ingredients. Despite their small size, just the cost for these nine pills is thirty million. I won’t make a profit from you, Mr. Ji; one course of treatment will cost you thirty million, at cost price. Nine courses, that’s only 2.7 billion."
"2.7 billion? Doctor Ge, your Rejuvenation Pills are truly too expensive. Nine pills for thirty million, that’s 3.33 million per pill, let’s round it up to 3.5 million. Give me one to start with, I’ll take it to try on Ouyang Rui."
"Taking just one Rejuvenation Pill won’t work. If he only takes one, it will at best only last for three days. After three days, if he doesn’t take the second pill, he will die suddenly."
Three days?
Ji Jinpeng counted on his fingers and thought that three days was just perfect!
Ouyang Yi’s eightieth birthday was two days from now.
He would give one Rejuvenation Pill to Ouyang Rui.
If the pill worked, and he was successful in his proposal on the birthday, he would then come back to buy the remaining eight pills.
If the proposal failed, then let Ouyang Rui meet his sudden end!
To be on the safe side, after duping Ouyang Rui into taking the Rejuvenation Pill, he would also use it to threaten him.
Even for the sake of his own life, Ouyang Rui must help him with the proposal!
If he dared not assist, then let him die suddenly!
After some strategic calculations, Ji Jinpeng made a decision cheerfully.
"Give me one for now. As for the remaining eight, I’ll decide based on the situation after three days."
