Chapter 62

The turmoil at Wuhu Food House finally ended with Shen Yunfeng kneeling down to apologize. Xu Xin no longer dared to provoke Liu Fugui.

Ye Fei did not overly suppress them; he just wanted to dampen their arrogance. As for making the woman regret, that was something Liu Fugui would have to deal with in the future.

After the meal, Ye Fei had Liu Fugui drive him back and made an appointment to visit the clinic the next morning at nine o'clock.

Back at the Tang family villa, Ye Fei found that Tang Ruoxue had not returned yet, which surprised him.

Previously, whether she was working overtime or attending social events, Tang Ruoxue would always be home by eleven o'clock, but today it was already half an hour past that time.

Just as Ye Fei was about to call her, he heard the sound of high heels tapping behind him.

He turned around and saw Tang Ruoxue.

She was still wearing her business suit, but her face was slightly flushed, and she had a hint of alcohol on her breath.

Moreover, her sleeves were a bit wrinkled, as if she had been tussling with someone.

Tang Ruoxue smiled and asked, "How was your gathering with Liu Fugui?"

"Pretty good."

Ye Fei stepped forward to support her, "Why are you back so late?

Weren't you working overtime?

Why did you go to a social event?"

Tang Ruoxue nodded, "Yes, the funding issues were resolved, and production is going well, so I met a few more clients and had a few more drinks."

Ye Fei asked, "Was Zhao Dongyang there?"

As he supported her, Ye Fei caught a whiff of a different perfume, which he recognized as the same one Zhao Dongyang had worn when he was courting her at the restaurant.

Tang Ruoxue was slightly taken aback, "How did you know?"

"You have his perfume on you."

Ye Fei felt a lump in his chest, "Didn't you hate him?

Why did you drink with him tonight?"

"He introduced me to a few clients and said he was making amends."

Tang Ruoxue explained softly, "I didn't want things to get too tense, and the company needs clients, so I went to the dinner."

"I have nothing to do with him."

She didn't know why she added that.

Ye Fei looked at the alluring woman, "If you have nothing to do with him, why do you have his perfume on you?

That's only left from close contact."

"Are you done yet?"

Tang Ruoxue suddenly became impatient, "I said I have nothing to do with him, believe it or not, it's up to you. Isn't it tiring to be so suspicious?"

"I don't have an obligation to explain to you."

After working hard outside, Tang Ruoxue was already exhausted, and now she had to face Ye Fei's relentless questioning, which made her temper flare up.

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Ye Fei suppressed his discomfort, "Can you not see him in the future?"

"If I don't see him, who will give me clients?"

Tang Ruoxue pushed Ye Fei away, "Besides, when did it become your business to ask about my affairs?"

"I haven't even said anything about you and Song Hongyan being close, but you're already making assumptions about me and Zhao Dongyang. Are you just bored?"

After saying that, she kicked off her high heels and entered the inner room with a troubled expression, slamming the door shut.

Ye Fei looked dejected, even forgetting to treat his back wound... The next morning, Ye Fei made breakfast and woke Tang Ruoxue, wanting to have a proper conversation, but she left with a cold face.

What made Ye Fei even more depressed was that the car that came to pick up Tang Ruoxue was not Chen Xiaoyue's, but Zhao Dongyang's Mercedes.

Ye Fei took out his phone to ask a few questions, but looking at it, he suddenly felt utterly bored... It's easy to hold onto a person, but not their heart. Instead of desperately trying to maintain the relationship, it's better to make oneself stronger... At nine o'clock, Liu Fugui's car arrived, and Ye Fei got in, then had him drive straight to Jinzhilin Clinic.

Thirty minutes later, Ye Fei appeared at the entrance of Jinzhilin. Before he could take in the surroundings, a Cadillac also pulled up.

Song Hongyan got out of the car with a gentle smile.

Wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a ponytail, she was alluring yet fresh. Ye Fei smiled and walked over, "You should have a lot to handle, why did you come here?"

"The matters were resolved last night. Not only did we clear out the Xiong family's stronghold, but Xiong Zhi was severely injured and fled. We also eliminated the corrupt elements in one go."

Song Hongyan smiled, "I can't say it will last long, but we can have peace for three to five months, so I have plenty of time to come here and join in the fun."

Ye Fei smiled, "It's good that the matters are resolved."

He didn't ask too many questions about these gang-related affairs to avoid getting entangled.

"Of course, the most important thing is, no matter how big the matter, it's not as important as your affairs."

Song Hongyan moved closer to Ye Fei and naturally held his arm, "Compared to the mess at Wuhu Group, I'd rather see you open the clinic."

"I want to be your first patient."

Ye Fei was taken aback, "Do you have a disease?"

Then he shook his head, "No, you're very healthy."

Song Hongyan blinked, "I have a heart disease, a love sickness..." Ye Fei's scalp tingled.

"Alright, I was just joking, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go in."

Song Hongyan giggled and led Ye Fei inside.

Liu Fugui, sitting in the car, looked conflicted, wondering whether to report to Tang Ruoxue.

The clinic was large, covering one thousand square meters. The front was a hall and a pharmacy, the middle was a courtyard with six wards, and the back had four living rooms.

However, the clinic was dilapidated, with cracked walls and uneven floors, and there were spider webs in several corners.

If used to shoot a horror movie at night, it would hardly need any set design.

Moreover, the clinic was deserted, with only a few elderly and weak patients waiting or moving around, and the pharmacy was closed due to a lack of staff.

They all curiously looked at Ye Fei and Song Hongyan, as if young people hadn't been seen here for a long time.

Song Hongyan scanned the area, "Where is Doctor Gongsun?"

A red-clad auntie, drinking from a thermos, called out, "Doctor Gongsun is taking his granddaughter out to get some sun. He'll be back soon, please wait a moment."

She poured hot water for Ye Fei and Song Hongyan and then continued drinking from her thermos.

Ye Fei touched her hand and quickly understood her condition.

"Thank you."

Song Hongyan smiled and thanked her, then said to Ye Fei, "Jinzhilin has been open for a century, spanning four generations. It was once the most popular Chinese medicine clinic in Zhonghai."

"Back then, it was always bustling with people. When I was a child, I didn't go to big hospitals when I was sick; I came to Jinzhilin."

"But over the past twenty years, with the widespread establishment of clinics and hospitals, and Gongsun Yuan only starting to study medicine halfway through his life, plus the death of his son in a car accident, he became消极 in his work and life."

"Jinzhilin began to decline."

"Many patients left, and now those who come here for treatment are mostly the neighbors, who come because it's close and cheap."

"Three months ago, Gongsun Yuan's only granddaughter, Gongsun Qian, suddenly couldn't stand. Upon examination, she was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy."

"This is a fatal neuromuscular disease. Without effective treatment, Gongsun Qian would have at most six months to live."

"Unable to treat her, and with no solution from the hospital, Gongsun Yuan became completely disheartened."

"He decided to sell this ancestral clinic and use the money to take his granddaughter abroad to buy medicine."

"To buy the drug worth 140 million yuan."

While waiting, Song Hongyan explained the current state of the clinic to Ye Fei, "The location and environment here are top-notch, so it's a good choice to take it over."

Ye Fei scanned the surroundings and nodded lightly, "Indeed, it's a good choice. We can consider taking it over. How much is he asking for it?"

"One billion yuan."

At that moment, a weary yet sharp voice came from behind...
