Watching the two brothers' contrite expressions, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled inwardly. Heh, this was precisely the effect he wanted!
He glanced at the gold bricks piled in the living room and deliberately said, "Hmm, that's strange. There were supposed to be twenty-five tons of gold, but now there are five more tons?"
Fu Xiangrui asked curiously, "Divine Doctor Cheng, you can even tell that?"
Cheng Xiaofan appeared calm and collected. "As a master physician of my generation, my greatest asset is my heaven-defying eyes."
"Of course, I can see it at a glance!"
"Divine Doctor Cheng, you are truly amazing!"
Fu Xianghe gave Cheng Xiaofan a thumbs-up and said, "My brother and I also had some gold stored, which we placed together with the gold given by Zhu Zhiwen."
"We were worried our own gold might be contaminated by evil energy, so we sent it all over together!"
"Alas, thinking about it makes my heart ache!"
Five tons of gold!
It would be strange if his heart didn't ache!
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Indeed, five tons of gold is no small sum. Who wouldn't feel heartache losing it like this!"
"This is also your fault. When you accepted Zhu Zhiwen's gold, you should have investigated its origin."
"No matter how much money others owed him, they wouldn't have produced such a large amount of gold to settle debts!"
Fu Xiangrui sighed, "Divine Doctor Cheng, it's all our fault for being greedy. Seeing that gold, we didn't think of anything else!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It's in the past, let's not dwell on it!"
"The blood energy on this gold is too strong. I must resolve it immediately!"
Hearing his words, the two Fu brothers immediately sniffed the air.
Fu Xianghe immediately covered his nose and said, "Good heavens, this smell of blood is indeed potent."
"I can also smell the blood! It's too unpleasant!" Fu Xiangrui, startled, retreated more than two meters from the gold.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan secretly laughed.
Where was the smell of blood?
He had just said it casually.
It seemed the power of suggestion was incredibly strong!
"You two move away from the gold and watch me perform a ritual to vaporize this gold contaminated with evil energy!" Cheng Xiaofan theatrically assumed a stance.
He then flipped his right palm.
A surge of dragon force rapidly enveloped the pile of gold.
"Vaporize!"
With a loud shout from Cheng Xiaofan.
A thick white mist rose from the pile of gold.
The mist spread, obscuring the gold.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand again, and the gold had completely entered his spatial dimension.
As the white mist dissipated, the pile of gold in the hall had vanished without a trace.
"Divine Doctor Cheng, you are truly incredible!" Fu Xiangrui exclaimed loudly.
The second brother, Fu Xianghe, immediately chimed in, "Divine Doctor Cheng, you are remarkable!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, just a minor trick, nothing to be amazed about!"
"These are the pills I've refined for you. Three pills each morning and evening will completely resolve your issues in three days!" Cheng Xiaofan then took out two small bottles of pills and gave them to the two men.
The two Fu brothers treated the pills like treasures, carefully storing them on their persons.
"Divine Doctor Cheng, how much are these pills?" Fu Xiangrui asked respectfully.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "As I said, I refined these pills for you out of consideration for the old lady. Let's not mention money!"
Fu Xianghe said, "That won't do! Divine Doctor Cheng, you've helped us immensely by eliminating that gold. We must pay you!"
"Yes, we absolutely must pay," the elder brother agreed.
Cheng Xiaofan was naturally delighted to hear this.
He had received gold, and now they were offering money. Where could he find such a good deal?
If he refused to accept money, they would pester him endlessly.
To avoid causing them further trouble, Cheng Xiaofan sighed helplessly, "Alas, you brothers are truly too polite."
"Alright, then you can just give a token amount!"
Fu Xianghe said, "Divine Doctor Cheng, I heard from others that your consultation fee starts at a hundred million. How about I give you two hundred million!"
"I'll give you three hundred million!" Fu Xiangrui declared.
Fu Xianghe immediately said, "Then I'll increase it by another two hundred million! Five hundred million!"
The elder brother replied, "I can't be less than my brother! Six hundred million!"
The second brother said, "Brother, then I'll make it eight hundred million!"
Wow!
These two brothers were actually competing with each other.
Would they end up fighting over this?
Cheng Xiaofan happily watched from the sidelines.
However!
The brothers quickly reached a verbal agreement.
Each would contribute one billion to Divine Doctor Cheng.
What, was that it?
Cheng Xiaofan felt a pang of disappointment at their compromise.
Why didn't they continue competing?
Competition was how people developed.
"Divine Doctor Cheng, please give us your bank account number, and we'll transfer the money to you immediately!" the two Fu brothers said to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan had no choice but to say, "I originally didn't intend to accept any payment, but since you are so insistent, fine, I won't be polite then!"
He thought to himself, Who's being polite?
If he were polite, twenty billion would have been tossed away for nothing.
He immediately gave them Gan Xiaotang's bank account number.
The Fu brothers were quick. They immediately transferred twenty billion to Gan Xiaotang's bank account via mobile banking.
"Divine Doctor Cheng, let's go to our hotel for dinner!"
The elder brother, Fu Xiangrui, said with a wide smile, "I've already booked a table at the hotel. Once we get there, I'll send someone to the inn to pick up your wife!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "I've already called my wife. She said the inn has business tonight, so she won't be coming."
"As for me, I've been busy all afternoon and feel very tired. I want to go back and rest early, so I won't be going either!"
Hearing this, the two brothers became anxious.
Fu Xiangrui said, "That won't do! We can understand if your wife can't make it, but how can you not attend!"
"Yes, Divine Doctor Cheng, you must come. After the meal, I'll fly you home!"
The two brothers held onto Cheng Xiaofan, unwilling to let go.
The old lady, who was resting upstairs, happened to come down at that moment. She overheard their conversation and said, "Divine Doctor Cheng, you've been busy here all afternoon and haven't eaten lunch."
"Tonight, let these two brothers show their appreciation!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't refuse further and said, "Alright, then I'll go. Old lady, why don't you come along too!"
The old lady replied, "Divine Doctor Cheng, you young people are gathering. I won't join."
Cheng Xiaofan could see that the old lady was in low spirits due to the incident with Zhu Zhiwen and didn't wish to go out, preferring to be alone at home.
He didn't press the matter further.
The group left the house and boarded a flying vehicle.
Yanhuang Hotel.
Those who could dine at this hotel were all influential families and aristocrats in the capital.
Ordinary people couldn't even enter the main door.
The flying vehicle landed at the hotel entrance.
As Cheng Xiaofan and the others alighted, several hostesses in small steps rushed forward, smiling like flowers, and called out in unison, "Greetings to the two Fu officers!"
It seemed the two brothers were frequent guests here.
Fu Xiangrui sternly pointed at Cheng Xiaofan and said to the hostesses, "This is the most honored guest our brothers have invited, Master Cheng. You should greet him first!"
"Greetings, Master Cheng!" The hostesses immediately bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan.
