After hearing the busy signal from his mobile phone, Li Huiyan was first surprised and then furious.
With his wealth growing over the past ten to twenty years, it had been a long time since anyone had dared to disregard him, let alone hang up on him directly.
This person actually refused to treat his illness for 5 million yuan?
Even saying that he wouldn’t lift a finger even if he gave him a billion yuan?
The tone he used was as if he was speaking to a mortal enemy or someone he deeply despised.
But, he hadn’t revealed his own name, and furthermore, he had never met this weird ancient doctor mentioned by Doctor Zhang Xiande.
How could this person possibly be his enemy?
He couldn’t understand.
It didn’t make sense.
With a gloomy face, Li Huiyan handed his phone back to Doctor Zhang Xiande and then quickly dialed Zuo Tiande.
After confirming that Zuo Tiande’s liver cancer was truly cured, Li Huiyan felt a mixture of shock and delight.
In Yan City, there truly resided such an extraordinary ancient doctor.
This meant that there was a chance his late-stage liver cancer could be cured.
However, during the call with Zuo Tiande, Li Huiyan also found out that Zuo Tiande never actually saw the face of this ancient doctor.
Zuo Tiande paid a consultation fee of one million yuan in cash.
This made it even more difficult for Li Huiyan to find out who this ancient doctor was.
“Damn it, could this man really have a grudge against me?
It only cost one million to cure Zuo Tiande.
But, for me, he said he wouldn’t treat it even if I gave him a billion.” With a grinding of teeth, Li Huiyan cursed inwardly.
This ancient doctor may have had something important to attend to, maybe he was in a bad mood today and you happened to cross him.
In the past, he has refused to treat people like today, but later, when he was in a good mood, he did eventually agree to treat that patient.
Why don’t you go home and wait for two or three days?” After glancing at the grumbling Li Huiyan, Doctor Zhang Xiande offered this advice.
Seeing Doctor Zhang Xiande didn’t seem to be lying, Li Huiyan’s anger gradually subsided.
He nodded and said to Doctor Zhang Xiande, “Alright.”
At this moment, Li Dongcheng, who was standing by his side, rubbed his eyes and thought for awhile before suddenly asking Doctor Zhang Xiande, “Director Zhang, does this ancient doctor have any other patients?
If he does, we can pay a large sum of money for his treatment slots…”
It’s undeniable, youth is quick-witted.
Hearing his son’s question, Li Huiyan also realized what he was getting at.
His eyes instantly lit up and he looked at Doctor Zhang Xiande intensely.
“This…” Doctor Zhang Xiande hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head, he said, “The ancient doctor indeed has two other patients, but these two patients have already started their treatment.
If you impersonated them, then the other patient would not receive proper treatment.
Also, if you substituted those two patients, the ancient doctor would find out right away and probably never treat you or your father ever again…”
“Then, are there any patients that the ancient doctor has not treated yet, but someone else has reserved the treatment?” Li Dongcheng, who didn’t dare to lash out at Doctor Zhang Xiande, asked again.
Doctor Zhang Xiande shook his head and replied, “I can’t arrange or persuade patients without the ancient doctor’s instruction.
After pausing for a while, Doctor Zhang Xiande continued, “However, the two patients that the ancient doctor has been treating are about to recover fully.
Two weeks from now, I will arrange for two other patients…”
Upon hearing this, Li Huiyan immediately interrupted eagerly, “That’s fine, two weeks from now, you arrange for us father and son, as for those two patients, we can pay them enough money…”
But in his heart, Li Huiyan thought, “If those two do not know what is good for them, then I may have to take some other measures…” This remained unsaid.
“No!” Doctor Zhang Xiande decisively refused, it seemed he had no intention of further negotiation.
Li Huiyan’s complexion immediately darkened.
He looked at Doctor Zhang Xiande with a cold gaze and asked hoarsely, “Old Zhang, what do you mean by this?”
Since learning that he had late-stage liver cancer, Li Huiyan felt on the brink of collapse.
Unexpectedly, he heard from Doctor Zhang Xiande here in Yan City of an ancient doctor that could cure cancer.
He almost felt like he had received a heaven-sent joy.
However, this mysterious doctor actually refused to treat him, and even Doctor Zhang Xiande, who gave him hope, directly refused to arrange for him to receive treatment from the ancient doctor.
His emotions went from extreme sorrow to extreme joy, and then from extreme joy to extreme sorrow.
He felt like he was being toyed with by Doctor Zhang Xiande.
At that moment, Li Huiyan felt a strong urge to order someone to assassinate Doctor Zhang Xiande and his family.
Doctor Zhang Xiande forced a bitter smile and said, “The two patients I have arranged are Duan Shiqing, the number one senior official at the Provincial Department of Health, and Du Wenlong, the director of Tianhao Group in the provincial city.
I don’t dare to offend either of them.
And you can’t afford to offend them either.
If you want to give money, would these people care?”
Li Huiyan and his son, Li Dongcheng, both looked shocked.
They hadn’t expected that the director of the Provincial Department of Health, Duan Shiqing, and the chairman of Tianhao Group, would come to find this ancient doctor for treatment.
It seemed that this elusive ancient doctor really had serious skills.
Though Li Huiyan was a real estate mogul in Yan City, he wasn’t competent to go against the director of the Provincial Department of Health.
Although the Health Bureau had little relation to his real estate business, being the bureau chief of a province, he would definitely know influential people from the Land and Resources Bureau and Planning Bureau.
Furthermore, a woman who could become a provincial level official must have a complicated background.
If he clashed with such a person, the family fortune he had worked so hard for decades to accumulate could disappear overnight.
After all, he wasn’t really a real estate businessman.
The huge wealth accumulated over the years wasn’t necessarily acquired entirely legally; it wouldn’t withstand governmental scrutiny.
As for Tianhao Group, it was also a large corporation within the province, with over 60 subsidiaries including pharmaceutical, electronic, textile, entertainment, and other industries, with a market value of over 60 billion yuan.
Such a large business aircraft carrier was also beyond Li Huiyan’s capacity to challenge.
Either person, once they targeted Li Huiyan, he would be unable to handle it.
Yet, he thought of using money to take away the treatment slots reserved by these two people?
He even considered taking drastic measures if they refused?
Upon picturing this, Li Huiyan’s heart skipped a beat, and he almost fainted with fear.
I’ll wait a little longer.
However, Zhang, you must help me arrange after the director of the Provincial Department of Health and the Tianhao Group.
After all, I’m already late-stage liver cancer and don’t have much time left to wait.” Li Huiyan lowered his head with a look of despair, he now realized that he, a real estate mogul in Yan City, was nothing more than a big joke.
Doctor Zhang Xiande hesitated for a moment before he said, “I’ll try my best.
However, even if I arrange it well, if the ancient doctor still doesn’t want to treat you, you can’t blame me.”
“Alright,” Li Huiyan nodded with a dull expression, then he pulled his son’s hand and left the Affiliated Hospital with a dispirited air.
