3:30 in the afternoon, Li Xuantong Medical Hall.
Recently, a young doctor whose medical skills were comparable to Li Xuantong’s had arrived at the Medical Hall. News of this had spread among those seeking medical help, significantly boosting the business.
Crucially, the efficiency of seeing patients had improved a lot, with the number of patients that could be seen daily nearly doubling, naturally increasing the income as well.
Even so, with Yang Fei’s help, by around 3:30 in the afternoon, the clinic would usually have managed to send away all the patients who had registered that day.
Thus, from 3:30 to about 5:00, this time became Li Xuantong’s and Yang Fei’s private space to discuss medical skills with each other.
A few minutes past four, Zhang Long made a phone call.
In front of Li Xuantong, Yang Fei answered the call.
"Mr. Yang, are you alone right now, and is it convenient to talk?"
Yang Fei glanced at Li Xuantong and said, "It’s fine, go ahead."
He didn’t put it on speaker, not worrying about Li Xuantong overhearing.
"Mr. Yang, the Situ family might make a move today, so you must be careful," Zhang Long said gravely.
Yang Fei was startled, then remembered the conflict with the Situ family a few days ago.
These days had been calm, and the Situ family hadn’t taken any retaliatory action, so he had almost forgotten about it.
He thought that perhaps they had given up on seeking revenge due to pressure from all sides, but it turned out they were brewing their move in the dark, waiting for the right moment.
Yang Fei slightly smiled and said, "No worries."
Hearing Yang Fei’s calm tone, as if he wasn’t taking the Situ family’s retaliation seriously, Zhang Long couldn’t help but remind him, "Mr. Yang, I know you are bold and skilled, but the Situ family isn’t just any family. They have been established in Binhai for more than a hundred years, with deeply entrenched strength. They have been quiet for several days to prepare thoroughly before taking action against you. Please... be careful."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Fei didn’t take the warning too seriously and continued discussing the previous topic with Li Xuantong.
As for the Situ family’s revenge?
Heh, if they didn’t make a move, that was fine, but if they dared to continue provoking him, then Yang Fei would do as he said and eradicate the Situ family from Binhai for good.
Just before closing time, Yang Fei received another call from Xu Xingzhou.
"Mr. Yang, something big is going to happen today. Could you... come over and take charge?" Xu Xingzhou immediately said.
Yang Fei was stunned and asked, "What big event?"
Xu Xingzhou said, "A cousin from my family has come; he intends to keep me in Binhai and might make a move on me."
"Oh?" Yang Fei raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know?"
If Xu Xingzhou really faced danger from the Xu family, Yang Fei would not stand idly by.
He had initially spared Xu Xingzhou to cultivate him to take over the Xu family, thus ensuring that he would have the support of the Xu family in his hands in the future.
Therefore, Yang Fei was deeply concerned about this issue and would not let anything happen to Xu Xingzhou, his chess piece.
"This is what happened: a few days ago, didn’t my family send someone to assist me? Actually, he came to supervise me. Today I noticed he seemed a bit off, so I paid a little more attention and found out that he has been contacting one of my cousins. They even said they must coordinate tonight. I suspect they are planning to deal with me," Xu Xingzhou said gravely.
Yang Fei furrowed his brows and asked, "Is that cousin of yours very capable?"
Xu Xingzhou said, "Sort of, but in a one-on-one fight, I fear him not." He spoke with immense confidence toward the end.
His injuries had healed in the past few days, and his combat abilities had returned to their peak. Indeed, he was not afraid if it was just against that cousin.
"But if that elder watching me teams up with that cousin, then... then I can only run," Xu Xingzhou said.
Yang Fei said, "What about Qi Tai and Zhang Long? Can’t they help you?"
Xu Xingzhou bitterly laughed and said, "Mr. Yang, you might not know, but even if my family’s people are slightly inferior in terms of Realm, their combat power is extremely strong due to their Poison Skill and the use of poisons, so even if Qi Tai and Zhang Long help me, we may not be able to detain my cousin. If my cousin escapes, I’m afraid our plans might get exposed to my family ahead of time, which would cause trouble."
Yang Fei thought about the Xu family’s Poison Skill and nodded.
At the same time, his mind shifted, and he recalled the warning Zhang Long had given him earlier.
The Situ family had also planned to move against themselves today.
Could it be a coincidence?
Yang Fei suddenly let out a laugh.
In this world, there are not so many coincidences.
Xu Xingzhou’s cousin must be colluding with the Situ family.
Thinking of this, Yang Fei couldn’t help but smile again, it seemed he had made the right move by fostering Zhang Long and Xu Xingzhou.
With Dragon and Tiger Hall around, any minor disturbance in Binhai would come to his knowledge.
Moreover, Xu Xingzhou’s capabilities were definitely commendable, as he was so perceptive to recognize issues early on, allowing him to prepare in advance and turn a reactive situation into a proactive one.
As he was thinking, his phone emitted a WeChat notification sound.
It was a message from Qin Yanyang, telling him she was going shopping with Yang Wen tonight, and asking him to eat dinner alone.
Yang Fei’s mind stirred, and he smiled as he spoke to Xu Xingzhou, "Is your family elder who’s watching you still there?"
Xu Xingzhou hurriedly said, "Yes, I’m watching him."
Yang Fei said, "I’ll meet him."
Xu Xingzhou, understanding the intent behind Yang Fei’s words, joyfully replied, "Okay, I’ll make arrangements and send you the location later." For more chapters visit novel⦿fire.net
After hanging up the phone, Yang Fei dialed Qin Yanyang’s number.
Qin Yanyang answered immediately, saying, "Did you see the message?"
"Yes, just finishing up a call, I saw the message." said Yang Fei.
"Then you’ll cook and eat alone." Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei, smiling, replied, "Alright. Where are you and Yang Wen planning to go? Being girls, and so beautiful, don’t stay out too late, and avoid less crowded places."
Qin Yanyang, reminded of the information she had received earlier, couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Got it, Yang Wen is with me, don’t worry."
For some reason, although Yang Fei had been worried about them, hearing Qin Yanyang say this gave him great peace of mind, no longer worrying about their safety.
However, knowing that the Situ family might seek revenge, Yang Fei still felt uneasy, and issued a few reminders.
He thought as long as it wasn’t too late, and considering the two of them were together in a crowded, bustling street, they should be fine.
He now needed to resolve the trouble himself; soon, the Situ family would be too preoccupied to spare anyone to threaten Qin Yanyang and Yang Wen.
At five forty, Yang Fei arrived at a small restaurant.
This restaurant was a property of Dragon and Tiger Hall, usually bustling with business, but today a sign reading "Temporarily Closed" was placed at the door.
Just as Yang Fei arrived, the door was opened, and Ma Zhao, respectful, greeted him, "Mr. Yang, hello, Mr. Xu is already waiting upstairs."
Yang Fei glanced at him and smiled, "Recovered so quickly?"
"Thanks to your blessing, Mr. Yang—if it weren’t for your skillful treatment, I would still be lying in a hospital." Ma Zhao said gratefully.
He was genuinely grateful to Yang Fei. Although his injuries were not completely healed, he could move around normally and just needed to take it slow.
Yang Fei nodded and followed him upstairs.
Leading Yang Fei to the door of a private room, Ma Zhao knocked and, seeing Xu Xingzhou open the door for Yang Fei, he turned and went back downstairs to keep watch.
As Yang Fei entered the private room, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the seat of honor.
The spacious private room held only Xu Xingzhou and this middle-aged man waiting.
Seeing Yang Fei enter, the middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xu Xingzhou, and with a smile on his face said, "Xingzhou, is this the Divine Doctor Yang you mentioned?"
Before Xu Xingzhou could reply, Yang Fei, already seated, looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "Why would you, a side branch of the Xu family, get involved in their direct descendants’ strife for power and profit?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s expression drastically changed, his pupils constricted, staring at Yang Fei, and with a stern and serious tone looked at Xu Xingzhou, scolding, "Xu Xingzhou, what is this supposed to mean?"
