"No need to check. I know what the problem is," Ye Fei said, glancing at Gao Yuanyuan with a slight frown, his mind clearly occupied.
"You know what the problem is? Mr. Ye, you just took one look and you know my ailment?" Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed, looking at Ye Fei with disbelief. How could this be possible? Remember, back at the hospital, various renowned Chinese and Western medicine doctors had examined her. Even the most advanced medical equipment in all of Xiling City had been utilized! Yet, nothing could diagnose her condition. Just two days ago, even Song Shenyi, the most reputable physician in Xiling City, had personally examined her pulse. But he too couldn't find the cause! In such circumstances, Ye Fei, having just arrived and without even touching her, could discern the cause by merely looking? Not only did Gao Yuanyuan find it hard to believe, but it was likely no one else would either if she shared this.
"Sister! Sister! Look! Look at this charlatan's lecherous eyes, staring straight at your chest... He's clearly not a good person!" At this moment, the wealthy second-generation heir, Gao Lei, spoke up again. His eyes were sharp, and he noticed Ye Fei's gaze frequently wandering towards Gao Yuanyuan.
"Uh..." Gao Yuanyuan's expression faltered upon hearing her brother's words. Then, as her gaze fell upon Ye Fei, she immediately noticed him staring intently below her neck. Gao Yuanyuan looked down. She was wearing a low-cut shirt and capri pants today, making it convenient for Ye Fei's examination and treatment. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei was staring directly at the area below her neckline. Instantly, Gao Yuanyuan's pretty face flushed, unsure if it was from shame or anger! Could this fellow truly be a charlatan, as her brother claimed?
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Aren't you supposed to be looking at Yuan Yuan to help her with her illness? Why are you staring at her like that? Are you stunned?" Sister Hong intended to speak up for Ye Fei. However, before she could utter a word, she caught a glimpse of Ye Fei's eyes fixed on Gao Yuanyuan's neckline and couldn't help but chide him with a feigned pout. This scoundrel, if he likes beautiful women, fine... but he just arrived! He should at least make a good first impression. Staring lecherously at someone right away, who wouldn't get annoyed?
"Uh... apologies, I was distracted," Ye Fei said, his expression slightly embarrassed as he snapped back to reality.
"Then, Mr. Ye, what exactly is my illness?" Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath, not dwelling on Ye Fei's peeping, and directly inquired.
"You don't have an illness..." Ye Fei's gaze returned to Gao Yuanyuan's neckline as he spoke slowly.
"Sister! Look, look! The pervert is peeking at you again..." Before Ye Fei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by that rascal Gao Lei! Ye Fei frowned and shot him a glance, really wanting to slap him.
"I was looking at the Buddha amulet on your neck!" Ye Fei declared, raising his hand and pointing directly at the amulet hanging on Gao Yuanyuan's neck.
"The amulet on my neck?" Gao Yuanyuan was stunned, still in doubt. She then took out the amulet she had tucked inside her clothes. Because the neckline was low, only a small part of the amulet was visible. If one wasn't looking closely, they might not even recognize it as a Buddha amulet. Yet, Ye Fei had directly identified it as such! Wasn't he just staring intently at her chest?
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Gao, your illness stems from this amulet!" Ye Fei explained to Gao Yuanyuan. "When I got out of the car, I sensed something was unusual in this room, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was at the time. Only when Miss Gao walked out and I saw the amulet on your neck did I understand the reason..."
"Sister Hong, is this the divine doctor you found? Miss Gao's illness hasn't been cured, and now he's playing fortune teller?" Gao Lei scoffed. "This amulet is a protective charm my mother specifically requested from abroad, meant to ward off evil spirits and protect my sister's safety. Now this charlatan claims this amulet is the primary cause of Miss Gao's strange illness. Isn't this utter nonsense?" At this point, seeing Ye Fei's claims becoming more outrageous, Gao Lei finally couldn't stand it anymore! He interrupted Ye Fei loudly, his face darkened as he furiously retorted. Although Gao Lei was a pampered heir, he wasn't entirely unreasonable. Thus, his confrontation with Ye Fei was based on his own logical reasoning.
Sister Hong, who was fine before hearing Gao Lei's words, became stunned and her delicate brows furrowed upon hearing them. "Brother, are you sure about this?" Sister Hong took a deep breath and looked at Ye Fei, asking tentatively. She was aware of Ye Fei's remarkable medical skills, but she didn't know much about his other abilities. However, as the most accomplished disciple of Bai Mei Daoren, the foremost figure in China, her expectations were that his other skills wouldn't be lacking. Therefore, despite Ye Fei's somewhat mystical pronouncements, Sister Hong still leaned towards believing him.
"No, this amulet is an evil object. I know this is hard for you to accept, but as far as my judgment goes, this is the truth," Ye Fei stated. "While this amulet may be warding off evil and protecting you, it is, in turn, subtly draining your vital energy. Initially, because your vital energy was abundant, you might not have noticed, but as your vital energy depleted, various side effects began to manifest. I cannot accurately assess your current condition, but in my opinion, if you continue to wear this amulet, you will face a bloody disaster within three days at most! By then, your life may be in danger!" After Sister Hong finished speaking, Ye Fei spoke his piece without regard for whether Gao Yuanyuan or anyone else believed him.
Instantly, Gao Yuanyuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing Ye Fei's words! Her brows furrowed, and her face turned cold! Gao Yuanyuan was starting to get angry, truly angry. Was she foolish? Of course not! Since Gao Yuanyuan wasn't a fool, how could she not understand the implication of Ye Fei's words? According to Ye Fei, this meant her own mother was trying to harm her? After all, this amulet was obtained by her mother from abroad. Would her own mother try to harm her own daughter? That was preposterous! Furthermore, Ye Fei's final statement... was he cursing her to death?
"What are you talking about! How dare you curse my sister to death! Do you believe I won't kill you?" Gao Yuanyuan remained silent, but her brother, the second-generation heir Gao Lei, could not tolerate it! He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared at Ye Fei in anger. In contrast, Gao Yuanyuan was quite well-mannered! Therefore, in a moment, she walked over and pulled back the furious Gao Lei.
"Mr. Ye, I know your words were unintentional and spoken out of good intentions. However, this amulet was a gift from my mother! And I've been wearing it for nearly ten years without any issues... so I believe my mother wouldn't harm me..." Gao Yuanyuan then looked at Ye Fei and said this.
"Forget it, forget it. If we don't see eye to eye, there's no point in talking further! Since Miss Gao doesn't believe my words, I'll take my leave..." Ye Fei was no fool. Although Gao Yuanyuan's words were tactful, Ye Fei understood her intended meaning. Therefore, Ye Fei didn't linger to explain himself further, simply waved his hand, and got up to leave. However, as Ye Fei departed, he glanced at Gao Yuanyuan with a slight sigh of regret! What a pity that such a beautiful woman was going to be ruined like this!
