"Liao Fusheng, what’s all the yelling about? Everyone is just looking out for you; we don’t want you to be deceived by a con artist," Zhang Biao said with a cold laugh. "Why don’t we let this ’Divine Doctor’ prove himself to us? From the mont I walked in, I knew sothing was off. In a place like this, who doesn’t arrive in a car worth at least a million? And this guy shows up in a taxi? He also claims to be a doctor, which clearly shows he has ulterior motives. Sister-in-law, Liao might be unwilling to suspect a friend, but you can’t let a scamr like this off the hook. You can’t let everyone down."
The rest of the crowd started to clamor, demanding that Yang Qi be thrown out.
Yang Qi could see it clearly now. These people were just trying to curry favor with Zhang Biao, so they echoed whatever he said. He was about to speak when a group of people suddenly entered through the door.
Everyone imdiately fell silent and walked over, acting as if the hotel belonged to the newcor, not Liao Fusheng.
"Hahaha, Chairman Tong, you’ve finally arrived! We were getting so anxious waiting for you," Zhang Biao said with a loud laugh. His attitude was utterly servile, a stark contrast to how he had treated Yang Qi.
Leaning on a cane, Chairman Tong was beaming, yet his face held an arrogant expression. "It’s the grand opening of Fusheng’s hotel, so I had to co and take a look. We’re friends, after all. Fusheng, if you need anything, just ask. Don’t be polite. You’ve paid a hefty amount in mbership fees to our chamber of comrce over the years. We won’t just stand by and watch you fall on hard tis."
Liao Fusheng sneered inwardly but said aloud, "Thank you, Chairman Tong." This old fox really knows how to play the ga. When I faced difficulties before and sought him out, he wouldn’t even grant an audience. Now that the crisis has passed, he shows up. How ridiculous.
Yang Qi glanced at Chairman Tong and was montarily taken aback. The chairman’s complexion was sallow, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tongue had a bluish tint. Although many older people showed such signs, Yang Qi was certain that Chairman Tong was poisoned.
"Chairman Tong, has there been a recent death in your family?" Yang Qi’s voice suddenly rang out.
This took everyone by surprise.
Zhang Biao instantly exploded. "You little brat! If you don’t know how to talk, then shut your mouth! How dare you curse Chairman Tong? Are you looking for death?" As he spoke, he threw a punch at Yang Qi.
This Zhang Biao was also a trained fighter. Like Liao Fusheng, he had practiced martial arts since childhood and was now quite formidable. Both of them possessed Combat Power comparable to a Seventh Rank Great Grandmaster.
As the punch flew toward him, Liao Fusheng paled and moved to block it, terrified that Yang Qi would be killed. However, Yang Qi gently stopped him and threw his own punch, eting Zhang Biao’s fist head-on. He didn’t use his full strength, only unleashing the Combat Power of a Tenth Rank Great Grandmaster.
As a result, Zhang Biao let out a piercing scream and was sent flying, his arm hanging limply at his side.
"Zhang, you shaless bastard! I’ve been tolerating you, but you insist on opposing at every turn. You are truly looking for death!" Yang Qi gave Zhang Biao a cold, icy glare. He never showed rcy to ungrateful wretches.
Liao Fusheng was completely stunned, but in the next mont, he suddenly rembered. Wait, Yang Qi is the owner of the Star Shining Society! How could I have forgotten? The owner of the Star Shining Society wiped out the Tang Family of Sea City! Why would he be afraid of a nobody like Zhang Biao?
"Young man, how did you know that?" Chairman Tong looked at Yang Qi in surprise. Soone in his family had indeed died recently, but the matter had been handled secretly without a public funeral. Other than a few close family mbers, no one else knew. It was bizarre that Yang Qi was aware of it.
"I not only know soone in your family died, but I also know it was more than one. And from the look of you, it won’t be long before you follow in their footsteps," Yang Qi said nonchalantly.
"Kid, you’re looking for death!" The bodyguard beside Chairman Tong grew angry and prepared to attack.
"Wait! Let him speak!" Chairman Tong, intrigued, continued, "Young man, where did you get this information?"
"From your face," Yang Qi replied. "The people in your family who died... did they develop bluish-green spots on their faces? And the longer they were dead, the more spots appeared? Did their bodies also begin to decompose with unusual speed, shortly after death?"
"This!" Chairman Tong was even more shocked. "Sir, how could you possibly know that?" He had called Yang Qi ’young man’ before but now addressed him as ’Sir’.
"As I said, I can tell just by looking at you. Your face clearly shows signs of long-term poisoning. Your profound Inner Strength has allowed you to hang on until now, but you won’t last much longer. If you don’t get treatnt soon, not only will more people in your family die, but you yourself could drop dead within three months," Yang Qi continued.
"Sir, save !" Chairman Tong rushed over and grabbed Yang Qi’s hand. "Sir, you must save ! I’m willing to pay any price."
"Chairman Tong, don’t believe this kid! He’s a fraud," Zhang Biao said, having scrambled up from the floor. "He may be a top student who graduated from a dical program, but he didn’t study clinical dicine. He doesn’t know how to treat anyone!"
"Shut up!" Chairman Tong ignored Zhang Biao and looked at Yang Qi with sincere desperation.
"I heard Chairman Tong borrowed two hundred million from my brother Liao and still hasn’t repaid it, is that correct?" Yang Qi smiled.
"I’ll pay it back right away! Right away!" Chairman Tong said repeatedly.
"How about this? First, repay the two hundred million. After I’ve cured you, you’ll pay another two hundred million in interest. Does that sound acceptable?" Yang Qi said with a faint smile.
"That’s an exorbitant price, young man," Chairman Tong said with a frown.
"Heh. If you say so, Chairman, then we can just forget it. I thought you were a smart man. Perhaps we could have beco friends. In this life, no one escapes birth, aging, sickness, and death, right? Especially not the elderly, and certainly not Martial Artists. Wouldn’t you agree?" Yang Qi chuckled.
Liao Fusheng was on pins and needles. He was terrified that Chairman Tong would fly into a rage at Yang Qi’s negotiation tactics.
"Fine! It’s a deal!" Chairman Tong gritted his teeth. "Transfer the money. Four hundred million, directly. If he fails to cure , you all will butcher him. If he succeeds, we are friends, and I will let bygones be bygones!"
Soon, four hundred million appeared in Liao Fusheng’s account. He felt as if he were in a dream. Just a mont ago, I was broke. Now that I have money, is it just making more money on its own?
Seeing that the transfer was complete, Yang Qi began treating Chairman Tong.
Detoxification was a needle technique Yang Qi had long since mastered. A total of eighty-one Silver Needles took flight almost simultaneously, shooting toward Chairman Tong before piercing his acupoints in a subtle, precise sequence.
Yang Qi began to channel his Spiritual Power to force out the poison. All the toxins were expelled through the Silver Needles into a basin of clean water that had been prepared beforehand. The water instantly turned turbid and filthy, becoming a terrifying bluish-purple.
