Chapter 27 Life on the Brink

Watching Ye Fan walk out quickly, Jiang Zhitao coldly dropped a sentence, "Get rid of him, leave no trace."

Then he followed Ye Fan's footsteps and left...

Spring City Hotel, located in the remote northern suburbs. Pushing open the room door, he saw Ye Xuanxuan lying on the bed with a pale face, while two men were squatting on the ground, bruised and swollen, with four bodyguards in black standing beside them.

These four bodyguards must be Jiang Zhitao's men, who had clearly beaten up the other two guys.

With a somber face, he walked up to the two men and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

He had no grievances with these two people, and they would never have targeted him without reason.

Looking at Ye Fan's murderous gaze, the two dared not hide anything.

"Yes, it was Boss Jiang from Taoran Pavilion. He gave us some money to bring this girl to the hotel, and said that after the job was done, someone else would give us more money. Big brother, we really didn't mean to offend you, and we'll never dare to do it again. Please spare us."

They were just ordinary hoodlums, driven by profit. To save their lives, they unhesitatingly betrayed Jiang Xiaobo.

Ye Fan's brow furrowed. It seemed he wouldn't get any important clues from these two.

"Take them out, deal with them as you see fit."

Ye Fan said coldly to Jiang Zhitao, then quickly walked to the bedside.

Looking at Ye Xuanxuan's pale face, he picked her up and took her to the hospital.

Already seriously ill, and then suffering such hardship, how could her body bear it?

The doctor hurriedly examined Ye Xuanxuan, while Zhang Chunlan and Jiang Zhitao also rushed over.

"Brother Ye, I know an old man whose medical skills are remarkable and might be able to treat Miss Ye."

Seeing Ye Fan frowning with anxious worry, Jiang Zhitao whispered in his ear.

As the young master of the Jiang family, his network was naturally wide.

Ye Fan was slightly stunned. "Do you have his contact information? I don't care about the cost, as long as he can cure my sister's illness."

He didn't want to lose this sister he had never spoken a word to.

In both his past and present life, this only sister was very important to him!

Jiang Zhitao shook his head with a wry smile. "This old man's medical skills are extraordinary, but his personality is very eccentric. He treats patients purely based on his impression. If he likes you, he might not charge a cent, but if he dislikes you, he won't make a move even if you give him a mountain of gold. So, you'll have to go and invite him personally and impress him with your sincerity."

Without any hesitation, Ye Fan nodded heavily. "I'll go now."

He knew Ye Xuanxuan's condition better than anyone. Staying in the hospital would only delay the onset of her illness and buy her some more time. With the current medical technology, it was impossible to cure her.

Now that a divine doctor was presented to him, even with only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, Ye Fan would not let it go.

The two drove away in a hurry...

Miao Shou Hui Chun Tang, just by the name, one would think it was opened by a charlatan.

But the area in front of the entrance was crowded with people, blocked by the two closed doors.

"Divine Doctor Hao, please save my son. I am willing to be your beast of burden to repay you."

"I can give all my property, as long as my husband's illness can be cured."

"Divine Doctor Hao, please show mercy and prescribe some medicine for me."

The crowd shouted continuously, but the doors remained shut, with no response.

Turning to Jiang Zhitao, Ye Fan asked, "What should we do?"

With so many people blocked outside, it was unlikely they could get in.

Jiang Zhitao chuckled slyly. "We definitely can't get in through the front door. Let's go around the back."

Saying that, he pulled Ye Fan halfway around the street and finally knocked on a small wooden door.

The wooden door was quickly opened, and a young man poked his head out. "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Zhitao looked around, saw no one, and then lowered his voice. "Tell Divine Doctor Hao that an old friend is visiting and has brought him a great surprise."

The young man frowned and looked at Jiang Zhitao doubtfully.

However, seeing that Jiang Zhitao wasn't joking, he nodded. "Please wait, I'll go and inform him."

A few minutes later, the young man opened the door again. "Please come in, both of you."

Ye Fan was anxious and didn't ask too many questions, following the young man quickly into the villa.

It was a two-story villa, antique in style and elegantly decorated, showing that the owner was quite refined.

Of course, this was just Ye Fan's subjective impression. When he entered the living room and saw the person sitting in the main seat, Ye Fan's evaluation of him was completely confused.

He was about fifty years old, slightly balding, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, an athletic undershirt, shorts, and slippers, holding a porcelain pot and drinking water with a gulp.

A typical retired old man, completely lacking in gentleness, elegance, and high-class refinement.

When he saw that the visitors were Jiang Zhitao, Divine Doctor Hao suddenly slammed the porcelain pot he was holding onto the table.

"Jiang kid, are you f***ing playing with me? If I knew it was you, you bastard, I would have had someone beat you out."

He started cursing as soon as they met, but Jiang Zhitao didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily. "Old man, your grandson has important business today, and I'm not here to bicker with you. When I have time, I'll definitely burn all your useless books."

The behavior of these two made Ye Fan frown constantly. It felt like they had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

"Ah Shui, hurry up and kick them out. I get annoyed just seeing them. Get lost."

Before Ye Fan could speak, Divine Doctor Hao had already issued the expulsion order.

The young man quickly came over. "Please leave, the two of you. Teacher doesn't want to see you."

Ye Fan's face was full of sorrow. The mission was off to a bad start. What should he do?

But Jiang Zhitao snorted coldly beside him. "Old man, don't regret it. I brought this elder brother here today to help you solve a problem that has troubled you for many years, but you are so unappreciative. If that's the case, we'll leave. You'll be crying and begging me then."

Saying that, he winked at Ye Fan, and the two turned to leave.

"Wait."

Just a few steps out, Divine Doctor Hao's voice came from behind.

"You scoundrel, are you serious about what you just said? Can this kid really help me solve that difficult problem?"

He looked Ye Fan up and down suspiciously, his eyes filled with hesitation.

"Nonsense, do you think your grandson has nothing better to do than come here to bother you?"

Jiang Zhitao snorted impatiently.

Seeing that his words had gone this far, Divine Doctor Hao seemed to have made up his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, we'll try anything for a desperate cause. Today, I'll believe you one more time, boy. But if you're lying to me, you know the consequences."

Then, he led the two upstairs.

Ye Fan and Jiang Zhitao followed behind slowly. Ye Fan asked in a low voice, "Does she have a grudge against you?"

"I saw a doctor here years ago and stayed for a while. We got to know each other over time, but this old man is too unsociable. Many people begged him desperately, but he ignored them, so I tore up a few of his medical books. Since then, we've been at odds."

Ye Fan stared at Jiang Zhitao with wide eyes, completely speechless. He hadn't expected this kid to have such an experience...
