Chapter 30
Everything Ye Fengyun said was a real ailment in Li Hu’s body, and he had been troubled by these conditions for a long time. He had even visited many renowned doctors, but none could cure him. Moreover, these illnesses were so private that he hadn’t even mentioned them to Old Yun, and even Old Yun couldn’t detect them. How did this ugly youth see through it?
Li Hu became increasingly intrigued by Ye Fengyun.
“How did you know?” Li Hu asked with genuine interest.
Ye Fengyun smiled, “Observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking are the four foundations of traditional medicine. Observation comes first, so naturally I could discern it.”
Li Hu nodded, thinking to himself: If he can see it, perhaps he can cure it.
As if sensing Li Hu’s thoughts, Ye Fengyun smiled, “I can solve your troubles.”
Li Hu raised his eyebrows, “Are you serious?”
Ye Fengyun nodded, “Of course. But, in exchange, you must give me what I want.”
Li Hu fell into a dilemma.
Just then, a servant arrived to report.
“Brother Hu, a challenge letter from the Hongyun Gang.”
Li Hu frowned and took the letter.
“Three days from now, at Anxin Cemetery.”
Li Hu squeezed the challenge letter into a ball, his gaze icy. “Yun Tonghai, so you’re finally making your move.”
Yun Tonghai was the leader of the Hongyun Gang and Li Hu’s longtime rival. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain; the two gangs had always been at odds, and a major clash was inevitable.
Li Hu sank into deep thought.
Ye Fengyun said, “Think it over, I’ll slip away for now.”
He called Old Yun and turned to leave.
“Wait!” Li Hu stopped Ye Fengyun. “I can give you what you want, but I have one condition: in the battle three days from now, you must fight for me—and you must win. Otherwise, everything is off.”
Ye Fengyun laughed, teasing, “You’re quite the schemer, but for the sake of my medicine, I’ll agree.”
Ye Fengyun and Old Yun departed.
Once they were out of sight, Scarface stepped forward and asked, “Brother Hu, the Hongyun Gang has been confronting us for years, always fighting over the gray market. Recently, they poached many of our technicians, even some top figures from our casinos. If something goes wrong in this fight, we’ll be forced to bow our heads for good. Why entrust such an important matter to that ugly guy? What can he do? Why not let me handle it?”
Li Hu glanced at Scarface and asked, “Do you really think he’s incapable?”
Scarface snorted, “What skills could he possibly have?”
Li Hu shook his head, speaking with meaning, “Don’t underestimate him. Your strength is already at the mid-Yellow level, yet he was able to repel you with just a shrug. Think about it—his skill must be terrifying.”
Scarface said nothing, but his palms began to sweat.
Who was this ugly youth? How could he possess such frightening power?
Ye Fengyun returned to the Tang family with the medicine for stabilizing pregnancy and immediately began preparing it upon entering.
Just then, Tang Anqi came by to visit Tang Shihan. As soon as she entered, she was assaulted by the sharp smell of herbal medicine.
“Ugly freak, are you boiling dung to eat?” Tang Anqi snapped, pinching her nose.
Ye Fengyun glanced at Tang Anqi, who was pinching her nose, and teased, “Oh, my dear sister-in-law has arrived.”
“Pah! Who’s your sister-in-law? Don’t think I’ll accept you just because you helped me. I’m telling you, not a chance!”
“No door? Then I’ll climb through the window,” Ye Fengyun replied with a grin.
“I’m telling you, even the windows are locked!”
Ye Fengyun continued, “Then I’ll dig a tunnel.”
“You—you’re being ridiculous!”
“I’m not being ridiculous. Let me correct you: I’m not helping you, it’s my wife who asked me to help you. I don’t want her to worry about you, after all, she’s my sweet wife, and she’s carrying our love’s little crystal right now~”
Hearing that Tang Shihan was pregnant, Tang Anqi was so shocked her jaw nearly hit the floor.
“You—you ugly freak, what nonsense are you spouting? Who’s pregnant?”
“Of course, my sweet and lovely wife.”
