Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Hua Qinfeng

Huayang and Hua Qinyun were delighted when they saw Jiang Fan speaking so nonchalantly.

But they never expected him to refuse so bluntly.

The smiles on their faces vanished in an instant.

"Fan, I know the ginseng is precious. If we had any other choice, we wouldn’t be asking for something so dear to you."

Hua Qinyun looked at Jiang Fan with a sincere expression and said, "Don’t worry, Fan. If you think the money isn’t enough, we can offer more!"

But Jiang Fan just gave a wry smile. "That’s not what I mean."

He looked at Huayang and Hua Qinyun. "While ginseng is indeed a potent restorative, it’s not a cure-all. Elder Hua is in a very weak state. Forcing him to take ginseng might actually do more harm than good."

"Is that really a possibility?" Huayang asked, surprised.

"Of course!"

"But... this was the method Divine Doctor Xu himself taught us!"

"A Divine Doctor?" Jiang Fan sneered. "Plenty of people in this world call themselves ’Divine Doctor,’ but how many truly live up to the name?"

"Mr. Jiang, does this mean you have a way?" Huayang asked.

Jiang Fan said lightly, "I can’t say for sure if I can cure Elder Hua’s illness, but I’m willing to help you out and take a look at him."

"Really?" Hua Qinyun’s face lit up. "Fan, you know medicine too?"

"I only know a little. I can’t guarantee I can cure Elder Hua’s illness, but I will certainly do my best."

"Are you serious, Mr. Jiang?" Huayang’s eyes lit up as well.

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

Jiang Fan continued to eat heartily as he spoke. "How about this? I’ll go with you after I finish my meal."

"That would be wonderful!" Huayang stood up and pushed the case on the table back toward Jiang Fan. "We believe in you, Mr. Jiang. Since you’ve said so, it means there’s hope for my father. I’m sure you can bring about a miraculous cure."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow at Huayang and smiled faintly.

’How could I not understand Huayang’s intention?’

’Huayang is putting me in a tough spot. He’s not pushing a million yuan at me because he believes in my medical skills; he’s doing it to back me into a corner, leaving me no way out.’

If Jiang Fan really could cure Elder Hua’s illness, that would be for the best. But if he couldn’t, having accepted the money, he couldn’t possibly refuse to hand over the ginseng.

Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled wryly. "Patriarch Hua, there’s no need for the money just yet. Let’s wait until after I’ve treated Elder Hua. If it turns out his illness truly requires the ginseng, I’ll present it with my own hands."

"Excellent!" Huayang immediately beamed. "Hearing you say that, Mr. Jiang, puts my mind at ease!"

Throughout the meal, the Hua father and son continuously flattered Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan didn’t mind. After all, being on good terms with the Hua Family wasn’t a bad thing, and checking on Elder Hua was a small effort for him.

There was no extended drinking or toasting, and the meal quickly concluded.

After leaving the hotel, the Hua father and son led the way, with Jiang Fan following in his car.

Soon, the cars left the city center, drove to the East Suburb, and entered a villa district.

This villa district was nestled between the mountains and the sea. It looked even more luxurious than the one where Yin Ruxue lived.

It seemed the Hua Family held a very high status in all of Yang City.

Huayang and Hua Qinyun’s car eventually stopped in front of a massive, European-style villa in the center of the district. Someone quickly came forward to open the gate, and the cars drove directly into the courtyard.

"Fan, this way, please!" Hua Qinyun quickly got out of the front car and greeted Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan nodded. He was quite satisfied with Hua Qinyun’s attitude.

At the very least, he made people feel comfortable.

Soon, under Huayang and Hua Qinyun’s guidance, Jiang Fan entered the villa and went up to the second floor.

The villa was huge, decorated in a vintage European style.

Of course, Jiang Fan was in no mood to observe the decor.

The two led Jiang Fan to a room on the second floor. As soon as he entered, Jiang Fan saw an old man in his seventies or eighties lying on the bed.

The old man’s hair was graying, and his face was deathly pale. He lay motionless on the bed with his eyes closed, an IV drip in his arm, while two nurses carefully attended to him.

Besides them, a man in a sharp suit and tie, wearing a pair of shiny glasses, stood by the old man’s side.

Jiang Fan glanced over and frowned slightly.

"Brother, why are you back?" Hua Qinyun asked, rushing forward when he saw the man.

The man looked at the three who had just entered, his gaze cold and severe.

"Grandpa is this sick. How could I not come back?"

"Fan, this is my older brother, Hua Qinfeng!" Hua Qinyun introduced.

"Brother, this is Mr. Jiang Fan. We specifically invited him to treat Grandpa."

"Jiang Fan?" Hua Qinfeng sized him up, his brow immediately furrowing. "Are you confident you can cure Grandpa’s illness?"

"Of course I’m not," Jiang Fan said flatly.

"Then what are you doing here if you’re not confident?" Hua Qinfeng said coldly.

"Don’t be rude!" Huayang said coldly. "Qinfeng, this Mr. Jiang is no ordinary person. Speak to him with more respect."

Hua Qinfeng shot Jiang Fan a disdainful look, then turned back to Huayang.

"Dad, I think you’re getting senile. This guy is so young, how could he possibly know anything about medicine?"

"Then why don’t you do it?" Jiang Fan sneered.

Hua Qinfeng glanced at Huayang and Hua Qinyun and said calmly, "I’ve already sent someone to fetch Divine Doctor Xu. He should be arriving soon."

"It’s for the best that Divine Doctor Xu is coming, but there’s no harm in letting Mr. Jiang take a look," Huayang said, glaring fiercely at Hua Qinfeng. "I have my reasons for inviting him. You will keep your mouth shut."

After being scolded by Huayang, Hua Qinfeng was clearly resentful, but he swallowed his anger and didn’t say anything more.

Just then, Jiang Fan stated calmly, "If Elder Hua’s illness isn’t treated promptly, he won’t live for more than three days."

With that single sentence, the expressions of the three family members changed instantly.

"Mr. Jiang, are you serious?"

"Fan, don’t scare me!"

Jiang Fan said calmly, "The Elder’s breath is faint, a clear sign of heart failure. He no longer has the strength to even eat."

"Fan, so you really do know medicine!" Hua Qinyun exclaimed after hearing Jiang Fan’s words. "We had a doctor from the city hospital here this morning, and he said the exact same thing! You saw it with just a glance. That’s incredible!"

"Brother, I think you’re confused too!"

But just then, Hua Qinfeng scoffed, "Grandpa’s illness is hardly a secret in Yang City. How many doctors have come and gone? You could find this out just by asking around."

Jiang Fan gave a wry smile. "Hua Qinfeng, is it?"

"You’re a bit loud, you know. The last thing your Elder Hua needs for his condition is noise. Why don’t you... get the hell out first?"

"What the fuck did you just say?"

"Qinfeng!" At that moment, Huayang’s face turned icy. "Do as Mr. Jiang says. Get out."

"Dad!"

"I told you to get out!"
