“Alright, young master, please wait a moment.”
The nanny hurried to fetch Fu Bo, who was the Qian family’s private doctor and a top expert ranked nationally.
He soon arrived in Qian Long’s room and, seeing Qian Long in agony, rushed over to ask, “Young Master Qian, what’s wrong? Where do you feel unwell?”
“Fu Bo, save me! I feel like insects are crawling all over my body. Quickly, see what illness I have,” Qian Long cried out, writhing on the ground in pain.
Hearing this, Fu Bo dared not delay. He immediately sat by the bed, grabbed Qian Long’s pulse, and began his diagnosis.
A moment later, Fu Bo’s expression drastically changed. He turned to look at Qian Long and asked, “Young Master Qian, have you eaten anything unusual recently? Or taken any medication?”
“No, I eat pretty much the same things every day. I never eat out carelessly, and I don’t have any illnesses, so why would I take medicine? I’m not that idle,” Qian Long replied in pain.
“This is strange. If you haven’t eaten anything unusual, why is your pulse so erratic, sometimes strong, sometimes weak? It’s a symptom I’ve never encountered in all my years of practicing medicine,” Fu Bo said, his brow furrowed.
“Fu Bo, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Can’t you cure my illness? Please, just alleviate some of my pain for now. I really can’t hold on much longer,” Qian Long said, enduring the agony as his body felt like it was about to explode.
“Alright, Young Master Qian, please wait a moment.”
Fu Bo nodded in agreement, immediately took out silver needles, and inserted five of them consecutively into Qian Long’s chest area. After these needles were inserted, Qian Long’s pain significantly lessened.
However, his condition could not be fundamentally cured. Fu Bo diagnosed him repeatedly, only to shake his head with a grave expression. “Young Master Qian, the origin of your illness is extremely peculiar. I’ve searched for so long, but I haven’t even found the source.”
“It seems I’ll need to consult with other experts to ascertain the outcome.”
“Then go find them! What are you waiting for?” Qian Long commanded impatiently.
“But…”
Fu Bo hesitated, unable to speak. He looked at Qian Long seriously and said, “Young Master Qian, your condition is extremely severe. I estimate you will die within three days at the most.”
“And I cannot guarantee that I can cure you within three days, so…”
“What did you say? I only have three days to live from now on?”
Qian Long was stunned on the spot!
He hadn’t even married or had children yet. His good life hadn’t even begun, and he was about to die?
He was extremely unwilling!
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Fu Bo and said, “Fu Bo, you are the nation’s top expert. You must have a way, right? You have to save me. I don’t want to die!”
“Young Master Qian, I apologize. I have truly done my best. As for the specific treatment plan, we will make a decision after I discuss it with a few friends. For now, please rest well at home,” Fu Bo said, then got up and left the room.
Qian Long, furious, punched the pillow. His body had been perfectly fine before, so how could he suddenly be on the verge of death?
Even an expert like Fu Bo couldn’t cure him. Was this fate?
Wait!
Just as Qian Long’s heart was filled with anger and despair, a person suddenly flashed through his mind!
He remembered Li Yang saying at the Jade Convention that he wouldn’t live past three days. Back then, he hadn’t believed Li Yang, thinking he was talking nonsense.
But now he realized that everything Li Yang had said was true!
Could that kid be a master?
With this thought, he jumped off the bed without hesitation. Enduring the residual pain in his body, he rushed out of the room and found his bodyguards, saying, “Take me to find someone immediately!”
Ten minutes later, Li Yang arrived at the entrance of a bar.
He walked expressionlessly into the bar. The afternoon bar was very quiet, with only a few people on the dance floor. In the booths, a few beautiful women were drinking.
The waiters were sitting behind the bar playing on their phones. Li Yang walked over and asked, “Excuse me, do you know which private room Young Master Kang is in?”
“Young Master Kang? You mean that guy with the dyed hair? He’s in the private room at the far east end of the second floor,” the waiter said, sizing up Li Yang and pointing towards the second floor.
Only one private room in the entire bar was currently booked, and that was where Young Master Kang and his group were.
“Thank you!”
Li Yang thanked him and headed straight for the second floor.
Young Master Kang was completely unaware that the Shui Xiang he wanted to see had not arrived, but Li Yang, whom he could not afford to offend, had.
He was getting drunk and said to the other rich second-generation individuals sitting beside him, “Everyone, eat and drink. It’s my treat today. Later, a beautiful and lively girl will come over for our entertainment.”
“I’m telling you, you’ve never seen such a lively woman in your life. I guarantee you’ll all be drooling when you see her. Do you believe me?”
“We certainly believe in Young Master Kang’s abilities. Forget about this small Tianjiang city; even in the capital, any woman Young Master Kang desires will eagerly throw herself into his arms.”
“Exactly. It’s our honor to be drinking with a distinguished young master like Young Master Kang from the capital, us from the small families of Tianjiang. We absolutely believe what Young Master Kang says.”
The other rich second-generation individuals flattered him repeatedly.
Young Master Kang wore a satisfied smile and pointed at them, saying, “I like hearing you say that. When that little lady arrives, I’ll have her perform a striptease for you all. After I’m done with her, she’ll be everyone’s tonight.”
“Young Master Kang is mighty! Thank you for your generous hospitality. If Young Master Kang has any needs in the future, we will do our utmost to help you.”
“We will be Young Master Kang’s right-hand men from now on. We will satisfy any of Young Master Kang’s needs.”
The rich second-generation individuals present continued to curry favor. In their eyes, as long as they pleased Young Master Kang, they would be able to secure many antique resources for their families in the future.
Young Master Kang checked the time. Ten minutes had passed, but Shui Xiang still hadn’t arrived, which began to anger him.
He immediately took out his phone, preparing to call Shui Xiang. However, before he could even dial the number, the private room door was pushed open.
When he looked up and saw the person who had entered, he trembled in fear!
“Why is it you? What are you doing here?” Young Master Kang still remembered the trouble he had with Li Yang last time. Seeing him now, he couldn’t help but feel intimidated.
“Don’t you know why I’m here? I advise you to hand over Sister Shui’s goods willingly, or I’ll spill your blood right here,” Li Yang said expressionlessly.
“Damn it! Where did you come from, you wild kid, daring to come here and cause trouble for Young Master Kang?”
A rich second-generation individual suddenly stood up from the sofa, looking down at Li Yang with disdain. He patted his chest and said, “I am the young master of Honglong Antique City. Do you think you can afford to mess with me?”
“Honglong Antique City? Such a small establishment, and you dare to boast about it?” Li Yang said dismissively. “Your shop, I can crush it with one hand.”
