Chapter 1,776: Isn’t it good to be a human being?

“Dr. Ye, you're out. How's your recovery?”

Seeing him exit, Zhai Lingxiu immediately came forward with concern.

Ye Bufan said, “I’ve mostly recovered.”

Just then, Zhai Tianfang also rushed over upon hearing the news, and after asking a few questions, he inquired, “Divine Doctor Ye, when do you think the second treatment should begin?”

“I’ll come over again at this time tomorrow. She and I both need to rest after just one treatment.”

Ye Bufan took a pen and paper and wrote a prescription, “From now on, have her take this medicine according to the prescription to warm and nourish her Meridians. The second treatment will be tomorrow.”

With dangers lurking around him, he had to resolve the trouble as quickly as possible. The woman's condition wasn't that urgent, so it could be postponed.

“Oh! Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye!”

After Zhai Tianfang expressed his gratitude again, he hurried away with the prescription. It was clear that the woman was extremely important to him.

Ye Bufan asked, “Who exactly is that woman?”

Zhai Lingxiu shook her head, “I don’t know. Perhaps only my father knows her identity.”

Ye Bufan didn't press further. After all, everyone has their secrets, and since Zhai Tianfang wasn't saying, there was no need for him to know.

He changed the subject and asked, “By the way, how much do you know about the Fang family?”

Zhai Lingxiu said, “The Fang family is one of the three major Families in Tianlang City. I do know a bit about their situation. What aspect do you want to know about?”

“No need for too much detail, just give me a list of their Family's core members.”

“Oh! Please wait a moment.”

Zhai Lingxiu led Ye Bufan to a nearby study, took out paper and pen, and began writing names.

She was originally a straightforward girl and, out of trust, didn't even ask what the other party wanted to do, directly writing down the entire list of the Fang family's core members.

Ye Bufan took it, glanced at it, then folded it and put it in his pocket.

“Ye Dage, who exactly sent that assassin to attack you? Do you have anyone in mind?”

At this point, Zhai Lingxiu seemed to become alert and asked doubtfully, “You're not suspecting the Fang family sent them, are you?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “No, I don't know who sent the assassin. I'm just trying to understand the Fang family's situation so I can avoid conflict with their core members in the future. After all, I have too much trouble right now.”

He didn't reveal his true thoughts, not because he didn't trust Zhai Lingxiu, but because some things didn't need to be known by this outspoken girl, as it would bring no benefit.

Afterward, he bid farewell to Zhai Lingxiu and left the City Lord's Mansion.

After leaving, he didn't return to Taiping Medical Center but instead went to the Assassin's Guild nearby.

By night, the place was brightly lit, a sign of thriving business.

Ye Bufan found an unoccupied corner and began to use his easy disguise technique, quickly transforming into Zhao Si, Fang Furong's lackey. Only then did he step into the Assassin's Guild.

As soon as he entered, a graceful maid immediately greeted him.

“Honored guest, how may I assist you?”

“Help me cancel the mission I posted earlier…”

Ye Bufan was already familiar with everything here and quickly canceled Zhao Si's assassination mission against him, pocketing the 500 gold coins.

Of course, his purpose in coming here was not limited to this. Since the Fang family intended to deal with him through the Assassin's Guild, he wouldn't be polite in the slightest.

Half an hour later, he left the Assassin's Guild. By then, the names of 36 core members of the Fang family were all posted on the Assassin's Guild's mission board, with each person's bounty set at 10 million gold coins.

Although it cost him a total of 360 million, it didn't matter. Anyway, all this money came from the Shang Family, so he didn't feel bad spending it at all.

Originally, he could have personally dealt with the Fang family, but now people from the Kyoto Li Family had already arrived in Tianlang City. Time was of the essence, and he had to resolve this trouble as quickly as possible.

The Fang family also had Nascent Soul Stage experts. If he wanted to eliminate them all quietly, he would have to use a particle gun.

But he didn't want to do that. Good steel should be used on the blade, and the fewer times this secret weapon was used, the better. He wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

For this reason, he entrusted the matter of dealing with the Fang family to the Assassin's Guild.

Anyway, the mission was posted by this person, Zhao Si. Once he dealt with that guy, the mission would be irreversible, and the Fang family's core members would eventually be assassinated by the Assassin's Guild.

Inside the room of Fang Furong, the Young Miss of the Fang family, she was currently attacking the delicacies on the table, continuously stuffing roasted chicken and large pork hocks into her mouth.

Facts proved that obesity was not without reason; despite her face being beaten like a pig's head, it didn't affect her appetite in the slightest.

Her lackey, Zhao Si, attended to her carefully, constantly serving dishes and pouring wine.

When she had eaten enough, Fang Furong let out a comfortable burp, patted her round belly, and then put down her chopsticks.

She said, “How are things with what I asked you to do? Any news? Is that guy named Ye dead or not?”

Zhao Si replied, “Young Miss, I've already posted the mission, but this matter can't be rushed. I believe the Assassin's Guild will definitely send people to kill that kid.”

“I can't wait any longer! I'm just waiting for that kid to be torn to pieces!”

Mentioning Ye Bufan, Fang Furong's eyes were filled with hatred, and her greasy, large face became distorted.

“Young Miss, actually, you don't need to worry about this at all. From the moment we posted the mission, that kid is already a dead man.”

“The Assassin's Guild's principle is relentless pursuit. As long as I don't cancel the mission, that kid is destined to face the assassins' relentless pursuit.”

“So, that kid's death is inevitable; it's just a matter of time.”

“Well done. When that kid dies, this Young Miss will reward you handsomely…”

As the two were speaking, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

“You're dreaming. You'll die before I do!”

“Who?”

Both were startled, not expecting someone to have infiltrated the room silently.

When they turned around, they were even more shocked by the sight before them, because standing behind them was another Zhao Si.

“You… Who are you? Why are you disguised as me?”

Zhao Si looked at the person in front of him with a terrified expression.

“You who aid and abet evil, isn't it better to be a good person? Why do you insist on being someone's dog? Since that's the case, I'll send you to the afterlife.”

Ye Bufan naturally showed no mercy to such a person. With a flash of his blade, the sharp short knife directly slit the other party's throat.

“Hoo…”

Zhao Si tried to say something, but his slit throat could only make gurgling sounds, unable to utter a single word.

Even in death, he stared with wide eyes, unable to understand how he could die by his own hand, who this person in front of him was, and why he was disguised as himself.

Ye Bufan didn't even look at him again, directly flicking out a stream of Dan Fire, incinerating the corpse into a pile of ashes.

Seeing this scene, Fang Furong was instantly scared out of her wits, her胖 body trembling into a ball, and a pungent, foul-smelling liquid streamed down her thighs onto the floor. She asked with a trembling voice, “You… Who exactly are you?”
