What?
The debt’s already been repaid?
How was that possible?
Was this still the same notorious debtor Deng Shigao she knew?
Back then, Gu Family Medical had tried countless times to collect the debt. Deng Shigao not only had a terrible attitude every time, but even resorted to violence. Every debt collector she sent ended up with broken limbs, thrown out like trash.
And now his attitude had made a complete 180?
The only possible explanation was… the nearly hundred men lying unconscious on the ground.
And Deng Shigao himself, beaten black and blue.
Something must have happened before she arrived!
Someone had clearly “educated” Deng Shigao—forced him to repay the debt!
Right… where was Ye Cang?
Gu Yuyao scanned the area but didn’t see any sign of him.
She assumed he must’ve escaped during the chaos.
“Hmph. Ye Cang, you’re really lucky to have gotten away…”
Realizing that Ye Cang was unharmed, Gu Yuyao sneered inwardly again.
What a pity Deng Shigao didn’t teach that shameless couple a proper lesson.
The money Deng Shigao owed was transferred in full, and the entire hospital erupted in celebration.
Everyone treated Gu Yuyao as a hero!
That debt had arrived just in time—saving Gu Family Hospital from bankruptcy and even offering a shot at recovery.
Even Gu Zhenghong was shocked by his granddaughter’s capability.
His granddaughter was truly incredible!
Not only had she saved Xiao Cang, but she had even gone beyond expectations and retrieved the maliciously withheld debt!
Gu Family Hospital was on the rise again!
“Grandpa… actually, it wasn’t me…” Gu Yuyao shook her head. After hesitating, she chose to be honest, “Before I got there, someone had already beaten me to Deng Shigao. They smashed up the entire Dark Night Club and beat down more than a hundred of his men.”
“What?!” The shocking revelation made even Gu Zhenghong lose his composure.
In Jiang City, there weren’t many who dared to destroy Deng Shigao’s turf…
“If your guess is right, then who was it that secretly helped us?” he asked.
Grandfather and granddaughter both fell silent.
Just then, Gao Yanqing walked in. “Yuyao, about the debt your hospital was owed—”
“Brother Yanqing! It was you!”
Seeing Gao Yanqing enter, Gu Yuyao gasped with surprise and immediately grabbed his arm in excitement, “It was you who used your connections to pressure Deng Shigao and made him return the money, right?”
The Gao Family was wealthy and well-connected—rumor was, they had already expanded into Dragon City. And Brother Yanqing had been aware of her struggles, so this made perfect sense!
Gao Yanqing froze for a moment.
He hadn’t actually done anything yet…
But facing Gu Yuyao’s emotional and grateful gaze, he nodded and smiled, choosing to take the credit. “Yuyao, I didn’t want you to know… as long as the problem’s solved, that’s what matters.” This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
“Brother Yanqing…” Gu Yuyao was overwhelmed with emotion. Then she turned to Gu Zhenghong, “Grandpa, all of this is thanks to Brother Yanqing. Do you still oppose me being with him?”
“This…” Gu Zhenghong looked conflicted.
At this point, it really did seem like Gao Yanqing had done it. There was no other logical explanation.
But something still felt off…
“Grandpa, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your approval!” Gu Yuyao quickly added.
“Yuyao, that’s not what I—” Gu Zhenghong wanted to object, but Gu Yuyao was already pulling Gao Yanqing out with her.
“Sigh…” Watching his granddaughter like this, Gu Zhenghong sighed with a complicated look.
He truly hadn’t wanted them to divorce.
Because he didn’t want to go back on his word.
And he didn’t want to betray Ye Cang’s mother either!
But since his granddaughter’s heart was entirely set on Gao Yanqing, he had no choice.
“Forget it… let her be for now…”
Even though they were divorced, treating Xiao Cang’s mother’s illness was still top priority. It had to be cured!
He had been busy and unwell earlier, but now he was determined to visit the hospital and ask Doctor Zhang about her condition.
After obtaining the Ice Ganoderma seed, Ye Cang asked Pan Min to return first.
He went to the Platinum Imperial Palace headquarters and asked Qin Xifeng to find a feng shui-rich location suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs.
Qin Xifeng acted immediately.
He secured the top villa in Jiang City—Shanhai View Mist!
Not only did it boast incredible scenery, but it also rested atop the city’s dragon vein, making it the undisputed king of villas.
Upon visiting it himself, Ye Cang confirmed that Qin Xifeng was right—it was ideal for growing medicinal herbs.
Ye Cang immediately planted the Ice Ganoderma seed and began nurturing it with care.
Such high-level medicinal seeds had a trait: each feng shui treasure land could only support the growth of one seed.
Therefore, Ye Cang needed six such medicinal gardens.
He ordered Qin Xifeng to search for five more feng shui-rich sites and buy them at any cost once found.
“Yes, sir…” Qin Xifeng wiped sweat from his forehead. This kind of boldness terrified even him.
Using such a prime feng shui location just to grow one seed?
That was pure extravagance!
Even powerful clans like the Ye Family and Qin Family couldn’t sustain this kind of spending!
“But Young Master… what about the medicine you promised to refine for us…” Qin Xifeng’s voice trailed off as he looked pleadingly at Ye Cang.
After Ye Cang had identified all the ailments plaguing the higher-ups of the Platinum Imperial Palace, they had panicked.
They’d collected every herb on his list. Now it was all ready.
“Look at you all… do you even look like high-ranking officials?”
Ye Cang shook his head, finding them pathetic.
These were supposed to be members of the Qin Family, leaders of the Platinum Imperial Palace—and here they were, groveling.
Still, it also meant they truly respected him.
“Wait here.”
To him, refining the six legendary medicines might take effort, but these low-level prescriptions were a joke.
Minutes later…
Ye Cang casually tossed the finished medicine to them.
Holding the medicine, Qin Xifeng and the others were overwhelmed with excitement.
“Thank you, Young Master Ye! Thank you!”
Without hesitation, they swallowed it.
Sure enough—the medicine worked instantly.
Cured.
Qin Xifeng and the others were thrilled, nearly losing their minds.
For those with bullets lodged near their hearts or tumors in their brains, Ye Cang treated each case personally.
These were complicated cases in Western medicine, involving high-risk surgeries with low success rates. But in Ye Cang’s hands, they were nothing.
With his medical eye and tools, he completed all “Chinese medicine surgeries” in a matter of hours.
It was a miracle!
One by one, they all worshipped Ye Cang like a god.
To most people, wealth and status meant nothing without health.
You could have billions and high positions, but in the end, you were just dust in a grave.
But Ye Cang—he could extend their lives beyond what was written in the Book of Life and Death.
Just then, Ye Cang received a call from Qin Junfei.
“Pan Min told me everything. You’re not just a medical genius—you’re a martial arts master too… just how many secrets are you hiding?”
Qin Junfei’s voice carried clear amusement, delighted to discover this secret.
“But the Gu Family… they don’t believe it was you. They think the credit belongs to Gu Yuyao’s White Moonlight.”
She changed the topic.
Ye Cang frowned slightly, feeling a twinge of irritation, but said calmly, “Doesn’t matter.”
“If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If the Gu Family wants to believe it was that White Moonlight, then they better be ready for Deng Shigao’s insane revenge.”
“Hmm?”
Ye Cang paused.
Qin Junfei continued, “Don’t be fooled by Deng Shigao’s tough image outside—he’s notoriously scared of his wife at home. She wasn’t there when you attacked the Dark Night Club, right?”
“She went back to her hometown. When she returns and sees her husband beaten to a pulp, do you think she’ll let the Gu Family off the hook…?”
Ye Cang’s expression turned impatient. “It has nothing to do with me. Can we stop talking about the Gu Family? Annoying!”
Whether Deng Shigao’s wife sought revenge on the Gu Family had nothing to do with him.
Qin Junfei’s tone turned serious. “By the way, all the funeral arrangements have been finalized. The guest list is also arranged, just as you instructed.”
BOOM—
Ye Cang’s heart shuddered violently.
Tomorrow was his mother’s funeral!
