Matsushita Kutsudaiji naturally didn't believe Cheng Xiaofan's words. How could anyone guess so accurately?
"Mr. Cheng, I know you are formidable, but I never imagined you could guess someone else's affairs so precisely. This young lady is truly impressed!"
In front of Cheng Xiaofan, Matsushita Kutsudaiji had no choice but to bow respectfully.
When she came, Inoue Shoichi had repeatedly cautioned her to show utmost respect when meeting Cheng Xiaofan.
She absolutely must not be careless.
This was to avoid displeasing him and causing him to refuse to visit Sakura Country.
Inoue Shoichi had also repeatedly instructed Matsushita Kutsudaiji that no matter what requests Cheng Xiaofan made, she must agree, even if he asked for her.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Matsushita Kutsudaiji, although I could guess the relationship between you and Inoue Shoichi, I can't guess how much Inoue Shoichi's life is worth!"
"Mr. Cheng, what do you mean by that?" Matsushita Kutsudaiji asked.
Cheng Xiaofan let out a cold laugh, "Beauty, are you pretending to be ignorant in front of me? Isn't the purpose of your trip from Sakura Country to ask me to treat Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo?"
Matsushita Kutsudaiji quickly replied, "That's right, this young lady is here to request Mr. Cheng to treat them!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I charge a fee for treating people. My fee standard depends on the identity of the patient. The nobler the identity, the higher the fee."
"Let's put it this way, Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo are both special envoys of Sakura Country. Wherever they go, they represent the image of a nation."
"For people of such status, I'll set a threshold fee of 25 billion for each, 50 billion for both. This is in Chinese Yuan. I won't treat them for a single cent less!"
"Ah?"
Matsushita Kutsudaiji hadn't expected Cheng Xiaofan's threshold fee for medical treatment to be so high.
"What, you think it's too little?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Then let's just make it 50 billion each, and 100 billion for both!"
Matsushita Kutsudaiji was stunned for a moment, and the threshold fee had doubled. She quickly said, "Perfect, perfect!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "The two of them know my bank account number. Tell them to transfer this threshold fee to me immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll call Mr. Inoue right away!"
Matsushita Kutsudaiji dared not delay and immediately dialed Inoue Shoichi's number.
Dao Dahai, standing nearby, was dumbfounded by what he saw. Cheng Xiaofan was simply asking for the moon! He was not holding back at all when it came to extorting them!
There was probably no one else in the world who earned money like this.
He asked for a hundred billion at the drop of a hat!
One hundred billion!
Would Inoue Shoichi of the Blood Demon Sect really give so much money?
At this moment, Matsushita Kutsudaiji had already connected Inoue Shoichi's call.
"Matsushita Kutsudaiji, what's going on? I asked you to invite Mr. Cheng, but there's been no news yet?"
A roar came from the phone, "Are you intentionally trying to get me killed so you can have an affair with other men?"
Upon hearing this, Matsushita Kutsudaiji trembled all over and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Inoue, I only just contacted Mr. Cheng today."
"Mr. Cheng said that for him to come to Sakura Country to treat you and Mr. Yoshida, the threshold fee of one hundred billion Chinese Yuan must be paid first. Without this amount, he won't come."
"Ah, what, one hundred billion Chinese Yuan?"
Inoue Shoichi thought that Cheng Xiaofan might be right beside Matsushita Kutsudaiji and immediately said, "Tell Mr. Cheng that I will arrange for the money to be raised and transferred to his bank account immediately."
"Once the money arrives, it's best to set off for Sakura Country right away. I really can't bear it any longer. If it's delayed, I might die!"
Inoue Shoichi's pained voice came from the phone.
"Yes, Mr. Inoue, I understand!"
Matsushita Kutsudaiji immediately hung up the phone, bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan, and said, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Inoue will transfer the money to your bank account shortly. Can we set off now?"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Don't rush, let's wait until the money arrives!"
It wasn't that Cheng Xiaofan didn't trust Inoue Shoichi, but he felt there was no need to be in such a hurry.
Someone else was sick, not him. Was there any need to rush?
They said doctors have compassionate hearts, but it depends on who the patient is!
Ding dong!
A text message alert came from his phone.
Cheng Xiaofan opened it and saw that the hundred billion had arrived.
It seemed the Blood Demon Sect was quite wealthy, as such a large sum of money arrived so quickly.
He should earn more money like this in the future.
Cheng Xiaofan put away his phone and turned his gaze to Dao Dahai, smiling, "Director Dao, I apologize for making you wait idly for so long!"
"Humans are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you'll be hungry. It's already lunchtime, let me make something to eat!"
"Great, great! Whatever you say here, I'll listen!" Hearing the mention of food, Dao Dahai's spirits soared.
In any case, Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo were from the Blood Demon Sect. According to Lu Shengming, people like them were a menace wherever they went.
Whether Cheng Xiaofan treated them or not, he didn't care about such matters.
What he cared about was the delicious food Cheng Xiaofan was about to prepare.
Cheng Xiaofan then said to Dao Dahai, "Director Dao, please wait here for a moment. I'll go to the pond in front to get a lobster. I'll treat you to lobster for lunch!"
As for Matsushita Kutsudaiji, Cheng Xiaofan completely ignored her, as if she were air.
Matsushita Kutsudaiji stood by the side the whole time, and she didn't dare say anything about Cheng Xiaofan's actions.
After Cheng Xiaofan left the bamboo pavilion, he called his "White Goddess" and said, "Yi Ling, someone from Sakura Country has come to invite me to treat two people. While I'm away, please instruct Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan to be extra vigilant and stop anyone from causing trouble at Nanshan Lake."
"Also, you must wear the blood sandalwood bracelets I made at all times!"
Bai Yi Ling heard this and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take good care of Mom and Dad at home. You take care of yourself when you go out!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan went to the pond in front and caught a lobster.
The two of them couldn't possibly eat this whole lobster. He took a knife from his space and cut off one-third of it, letting Dao Dahai take the rest home.
Matsushita Kutsudaiji had come to seek medical treatment, not as a guest, so Cheng Xiaofan had no intention of entertaining her.
Moreover, although this woman looked pure on the outside, she was full of malice within. There was no need to be polite to her.
After washing the lobster meat clean, Cheng Xiaofan immediately returned to the house.
"Director Dao, please remember to take this large piece of lobster with you when you leave. Let your wife have a taste too!" Cheng Xiaofan put the large piece of lobster into a large net bag and placed it beside Dao Dahai.
Seeing this, Dao Dahai exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, Xiaofan, I won't be polite then! I thank you on behalf of Xiuqin!"
