Chapter 279: Disguised Pressure

Wu Tianxi’s trip to Xinglin Garden could be said to be very fruitful; not only did he heal his internal injuries, but his cultivation also took a big step forward.

After expressing his heartfelt gratitude, he left Xinglin Garden, leaving behind the bank card with 20 million chinese yuan.

Ye Bufan did not decline this time; for his Medical skill, 20 million chinese yuan was too cheap.

Song Aoshuang did not leave, staying by his side to do some miscellaneous chores.

After lunch, before he could even start his afternoon clinic, Ye Bufan received a call from Mayor Zhu Yucheng.

As soon as the call connected, Zhu Yucheng’s hearty laughter came through: “Brother Ye, do you have time? Can you come over to my place?”

Ye Bufan said, “I’m at the clinic, Mr. Zhu, is something wrong?”

“Brother Ye, from now on, let’s address each other as brothers. I’m your elder brother.”

Zhu Yucheng was extremely enthusiastic towards Ye Bufan, and continued, “Two things: first, to express my personal gratitude to you, and second, a friend of mine is ill, and I’d like to ask Brother Ye to take a look.”

Ye Bufan said, “Alright, I’ll be right over.”

He left Xinglin Garden in the care of Cao Xinghua and Lu Qingzhi, and went to Zhu Yucheng’s office.

“Brother Ye, you’re here, please have a seat quickly.”

Zhu Yucheng was in a great mood; he first gave him a big hug, then had him sit on the sofa.

Ye Bufan glanced at him; not only was his spirit excellent, but the red glow on his glabella was even more intense, which was a sign of a flourishing official career.

“Brother Zhu, it seems your health has recovered well.”

“That’s all thanks to Brother Ye’s miraculous Medical skill. If it weren’t for you, I, Zhu, would have been completely finished.”

Zhu Yucheng said excitedly, “Brother Ye, you don’t know, when I walked into the Mayor assessment conference venue yesterday completely unharmed, many people were greatly surprised, clearly disappointed.”

He was indeed very happy; this time, not only did he survive a great disaster, but he also successfully won the re-election as Mayor, once again becoming the number one person in Jiangnan City.

Moreover, at his age, his future prospects were simply limitless.

After a few pleasantries, he took out a bank card from his desk and said, “Brother Ye, this is a small token from your elder brother, please accept it.”

Ye Bufan pushed the bank card back and said, “I already said you’re my elder brother, why be so polite? And to be honest with you, elder brother, I don’t lack money at all. If elder brother needs it, your younger brother can even lend a helping hand.”

From his Face, he could tell that Zhu Yucheng was kind-hearted and had auspicious signs, such a person was definitely worth befriending.

Although he was a Legacy holder, having a good relationship with the number one person in Jiangnan City definitely had no downsides.

Seeing his sincere gaze, Zhu Yucheng took the bank card back: “Alright then, it was me, your elder brother, who was too conventional.”

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ye Bufan asked, “Brother Zhu, didn’t you say you had a friend who wanted to be treated? Where is he?”

“He just called, he’ll be here soon.” Zhu Yucheng said, “This person is not only my friend, but also the largest foreign investor in our Jiangnan City. He’s about to invest tens of billions to build a factory here.

Once our Jiangnan City receives this huge capital injection, our economy can ascend to another level. Both for public and private reasons, Brother Ye, you must help your elder brother with this.”

Ye Bufan’s heart stirred; being able to invest tens of billions at once, such a grand gesture was rare.

He asked, “Brother Zhu, you’re not talking about Gao Jiajun, are you?”

“That’s right, it’s me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Lina, pushing Gao Jiajun in a wheelchair, followed Zhu Yucheng’s secretary and walked in from outside.

“Dr. Ye, it’s really difficult to ask you to treat me, Mr. Gao!”

Gao Jiajun had been tormented by illness recently and only knew that several times he had sent people to ask Ye Bufan to treat him, but they were all refused, and eventually Qiao Lina even ended up with a crooked neck.

He didn’t know what this woman had done, and of course Qiao Lina wouldn't tell the truth, so he was full of anger.

Seeing that the 10-day deadline was approaching, he was forced to play this card, putting pressure on Zhu Yucheng through the tens of billions investment, and then having Zhu Yucheng, the Mayor of Jiangnan City, put pressure on Ye Bufan.

In his opinion, no matter how formidable Ye Bufan was, he would ultimately have to give Face to the Mayor of Jiangnan City, otherwise he would not be able to survive in Jiangnan City at all.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Zhu Yucheng said in surprise, “Mr. Gao, Brother Ye, do you two know each other from before?”

Qiao Lina, with her crooked neck, said resentfully, “Of course we know each other. I went to ask Dr. Ye several times, but he ignored me.”

She hated Ye Bufan to death now. After leaving Xinglin Garden last time, she saw many specialists, hoping to cure her crooked neck.

However, the hospital’s diagnosis result was that it was Innate and could not be treated at all, otherwise it was easy to damage the cervical nerves, leading to lifelong paralysis.

Later, she found Huichun Pavilion. Although Lin Pingtao saw some

clues, he also said that this technique was too profound, and he was powerless.

In a fit of rage, she wanted to call the police, but the forensic doctor’s diagnosis result was the same, saying that her neck was not an injury at all, but an Innate developmental deformity.

Zhu Yucheng, of course, didn’t know any of this, and said in surprise, “Mrs. Gao, what happened to you? Did you get a stiff neck from sleeping?”

Qiao Lina gritted her teeth and said, “This isn’t a stiff neck, it was Dr. Ye’s doing.”

Zhu Yucheng sensed something was wrong and said doubtfully, “Mr. Gao, Mrs. Gao, is there some misunderstanding between you and my younger brother?”

“Mayor Zhu, it’s not a misunderstanding, let’s be direct.” Gao Jiajun said, “As long as you can get Ye Bufan to cure my and Lina’s illnesses, not a single cent of the 10 billion investment in Jiangnan City will be reduced, and the contract can be signed immediately.

In addition, I can also donate 1 billion chinese yuan to Jiangnan’s charity and education, and another 1 billion chinese yuan as a consultation fee.”

To cure his illness, he had indeed gone all out this time, instantly taking out 12 billion chinese yuan.

Yet, he never considered that he had always maintained a condescending attitude, completely using the money in his hand to indirectly exert pressure.

Ye Bufan sneered, “What if I don’t agree?”

“How dare you!” In front of Zhu Yucheng, Qiao Lina once again became incredibly arrogant, “If you dare to refuse, our Gao Family will not only withdraw this 10 billion investment, but also all previous investments in Jiangnan City.

At that time, you will be the sinner of the entire Jiangnan, and let’s see how you explain yourself to the people of Jiangnan City, and how you explain yourself to Mayor Zhu.”

“You’re forcing me to comply, are you? You’re thinking too much!” Ye Bufan sneered, “I treat people with my own hands, my Medical skill, and I never need to explain myself to anyone.”

Gao Jiajun said with a sullen Face, “Ye Bufan, I’m offering one billion chinese yuan as a consultation fee, aren’t you satisfied yet? Don’t be too greedy.”

In his opinion, the reason Ye Bufan repeatedly refused to treat him was simply to extort a consultation fee, wanting to make a hefty sum.

Zhu Yucheng felt the tension between the two and quickly advised, “Mr. Gao, Brother Ye, let’s talk things over. What exactly is going on? Is there a misunderstanding in between?”

One side was the major financier of Jiangnan City, and the other was his savior; if possible, he naturally wanted a Perfection outcome.
