Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Do You Have a Lot of Money?
The Wolf King nodded upon hearing this, trying his best to suppress his shock and intense anticipation. One should know that in the world, things often go like this: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The Wolf King had been ill for many years, and now that a reliable hope was right in front of him, how could he not be torn between gains and losses?
"Life and death are determined by fate. Whether it succeeds or not, I'm willing to entrust my old life to you and take a gamble. Whether it's a success or a failure, I will have no regrets. As for what materials are needed, just tell Black Phoenix and Chi Long, and let them assist you with all their might," a long-lost heroic spirit welled up in the Wolf King's tone.
"Alright. I'll go back first to prepare matters related to the Marrow-Washing Pill and carefully consider what means to use to ensure everything is foolproof. Take care of yourself," Xiao Yi said as he stood up.
After saying that, under the excited gaze of the Wolf King, he walked out of the bedroom.
"How is it, Xiao Yi? Do you have a way?" Black Phoenix immediately stepped forward and asked nervously, staring at Xiao Yi, for fear that he would shake his head in helplessness like other doctors.
"I will try my best," Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Do you mean you have a way?" Black Phoenix's eyes widened instantly. Over the past three years, countless renowned doctors had come, but each of them came full of enthusiasm and left dejected. No one had ever dared to say "I will try my best"!
Xiao Yi was the first one.
Black Phoenix turned around excitedly and glanced at Chi Long, her eyes red with emotion.
"Doctor Xiao, when will you be able to treat the Wolf King?" Although Chi Long was also extremely delighted, he quickly adjusted his emotions and asked the crucial question.
"Give me some time to prepare. When I'm ready, you can come and pick me up," Xiao Yi said.
"Sure, definitely," Chi Long readily agreed. "What do we need to prepare?"
"Nothing for now. Oh, right, prepare two large enough wooden barrels, the kind that can accommodate the Wolf King sitting inside," Xiao Yi instructed.
Black Phoenix and Chi Long nodded repeatedly. "That's easy."
"Then I'll go back first," Xiao Yi waved his hand and walked towards the door.
"I'll see you off," Black Phoenix turned and walked beside Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded, got on Black Phoenix's Harley motorcycle, and they rode all the way back to Jishitang.
Just then, they saw a black Porsche stopping aggressively in front of the door of Jishitang.
As the car door opened, four bodyguards dressed in black and wearing black sunglasses got out first. Each of them was over 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular build, looking extremely fierce.
As soon as the four of them got out of the car, they stood aside with their hands clasped.
Then, a young man in an expensive suit stepped out of the car slowly. His hair was combed neatly, and there was a half-smile on his face.
This eye-catching scene attracted many passersby, who stopped to watch and whispered among themselves.
When Xiao Yi saw who the person was clearly, he sneered. The person who came was Xiao Pengbo. His appearance now was completely within Xiao Yi's expectations. It would be strange if he didn't come.
With an unchanged expression, Xiao Yi got off Black Phoenix's motorcycle, took out the key, and opened the door of Jishitang. Many patients who had been waiting outside rushed in and scrambled to register.
Xiao Yi changed his clothes, made himself a cup of fragrant tea, and methodically carried out his daily medical consultations.
Seeing that Xiao Yi completely ignored him, Xiao Pengbo was quite annoyed. With a wave of his hand, he led the four bodyguards and followed Xiao Yi into Jishitang.
Black Phoenix, who should have left, seeing Xiao Pengbo's imposing manner, refused to leave immediately. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she stood beside Xiao Yi, coldly looking at Xiao Pengbo.
"Xiao Yi, tell me, what do you want me to do so that you'll treat Xiao Na?" Xiao Pengbo stood in front of Xiao Yi and asked in a condescending tone. The four tall bodyguards lined up in a row behind him.
Xiao Yi wrote out a prescription for a patient without even looking up. Then he slowly raised his head and said, "You need to be clear about this. Your parents said that even if all the doctors in the world were dead, they still wouldn't let me treat your sister."
"Hmph, don't talk to me about that. If you can go now and cure my sister's illness, my parents will naturally forgive your rudeness," Xiao Pengbo said with a forced smile.
"Haha!" Xiao Yi laughed heartily as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, but he didn't say anything more. He waved his hand, called the next patient over, and was about to continue the consultation.
Seeing Xiao Yi's reaction, the corners of Xiao Pengbo's mouth twitched. He waved his hand backward, and a bodyguard immediately stepped forward and handed over a safe.
Xiao Pengbo placed the safe on Xiao Yi's desk and opened it with a bang. Inside were twenty stacks of neatly arranged banknotes.
"As long as you go, this 200,000 yuan is yours. At least for a year, you won't have to work so hard in this small clinic to see patients," Xiao Pengbo said disdainfully, looking at Xiao Yi, who was squinting his eyes and concentrating on the consultation. He pushed the safe towards Xiao Yi's hand.
Xiao Yi didn't even glance at it.
However, the male patient whom Xiao Yi was treating at the moment was not happy. He turned his head and glared at Xiao Pengbo, shouting in a rough voice, "Hey, do you have any sense of timing? Can't you see that Doctor Xiao is treating me? You're pushing this 200,000 yuan around here. Do you think you're giving alms to a beggar? You're dressed like a decent person and even have bodyguards following you. You're asking Doctor Xiao to see a patient, but you only offer 200,000 yuan. Aren't you ashamed?"
"You, who do you think you are?" Xiao Pengbo's face darkened.
"Let me tell you, you'll be shocked. My dad is a coal mine owner from Shanxi. This 200,000 yuan isn't even enough for my dad to have a meal. But I'm lucky. Doctor Xiao is willing to treat me without me having to spend that much money. Unlike you, you come here to ask for help but are reluctant to spend some money!" The male patient tugged at the thick gold chain around his neck, turned to look at Xiao Pengbo, and said with a look of disdain.
Xiao Pengbo was almost driven mad with anger. Since when did the son of a coal mine owner have the right to look down on him? With a curl of his lips, Xiao Pengbo took out a checkbook from his pocket, quickly wrote out a check for one million yuan, and slapped it on Xiao Yi's desk. He glanced at the son of the coal mine owner and said, "Another one million yuan. Is that enough to make you shut up?"
The son of the coal mine owner stared at the long string of zeros on the check. Finally, he shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more. However, his gaze towards Xiao Yi was different from before, full of admiration and envy. "That's a total of 1.2 million yuan! Just given to Doctor Xiao like this? Tsk tsk, making money as a doctor is much easier than mining coal!"
Just then, a person dressed in a neat uniform walked into Jishitang. Seeing Xiao Yi, he bowed and said, "Doctor Xiao! I'm Miss Shu's assistant. Miss Shu specifically asked me to bring you this check. Miss Shu said this is the money for the second bottle of Jade Muscle Ointment!"
After saying that, the person took out a check from his pocket and placed it right next to Xiao Pengbo's check.
The son of the coal mine owner stretched his head to take a look. After seeing the amount on it, he was startled because it was actually three million yuan! Rubbing his eyes, the son of the coal mine owner was simply dumbfounded. "Sizzle! Another three million yuan just earned in an instant? Goodness! I should have studied traditional Chinese medicine if I had known earlier!"
Shu Wan's assistant didn't leave immediately. Instead, he continued to ask, "Doctor Xiao, more and more people have been inquiring about your medicine recently. Miss Shu asked me to ask if you think the price needs to be increased. The price of three million yuan seems a bit low!"
"Ugh!" Before Xiao Yi could say anything, the son of the coal mine owner let out a belch and almost fainted. The shock in his heart was simply indescribable. "Three million yuan is still too low? What kind of medicine is Doctor Xiao selling? Some kind of magical pill that can bring the dead back to life?"
Xiao Yi smiled upon hearing this and said to Shu Wan's assistant, "Thank you for making the trip. Regarding the Jade Muscle Ointment, your Miss Shu can decide as she sees fit. There's no need to ask me."
The assistant took the words and bowed before leaving. But he left behind a room full of people who were stunned and horrified.
Xiao Yi put away the check for three million yuan and looked at Xiao Pengbo, saying, "Put your money away. As you can see, I'm not short of money."
Xiao Pengbo's face turned,his lips twitched several times. In a fit of anger, he grabbed his check. However, he didn't leave just yet. Instead, he slapped the table hard and said fiercely, "Xiao Yi, don't refuse a good offer and end up asking for trouble!"
As soon as he said this, the four bodyguards behind him reacted immediately. The four huge figures took a step forward in unison, making the ground shake.
"Ah!" The son of the coal mine owner was so scared that he shrank his neck and crouched aside with his head in his hands.
"I don't care what kind of luck you've had recently, but you're still too young to fight against the powerful Xiao family," Xiao Pengbo waved his hand at the bodyguards. "Today, even if we have to tie him up, we're taking him away!"
Upon hearing this, the four bodyguards pounced towards Xiao Yi like fierce demons.
However, Xiao Yi didn't even stand up. Black Phoenix, who had been standing beside Xiao Yi all the time, moved.
With a flick of her right hand, Black Phoenix had already pulled out the bright lock knife from the back of her waist. With a shake of her hand, the lock knife wrapped around the neck of the bodyguard on the outermost side in a strange and unpredictable way.
"Get out of here!" Black Phoenix exerted force with her single arm and threw him outward.
With a "whoosh" sound, the bodyguard, who weighed over 200 kilograms, was easily thrown out of the door by Black Phoenix like a kite with a broken string. With a "bang", he fell solidly on the stone pavement outside the door, shattering several bluestone slabs.
This series of actions was as swift as a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping. Everyone just felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the four bodyguards became three!
"Ah!" All the patients waiting in the clinic let out a cry of surprise!
The other three burly bodyguards only then realized that their companion had been thrown out by the cool girl in front of them.
The three of them let out a roar in unison, abandoned Xiao Yi, and pounced towards Black Phoenix.
Black Phoenix's misty eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.
With a single tap of her hand on Xiao Yi's desk, her feet kicked out in a series of fierce and consecutive kicks.
"Bang bang bang," three kicks, with lightning speed, instantly kicked the three strong and hefty bodyguards out of the door one after another.
"Ah!" The first bodyguard who had been thrown out by the lock knife was just halfway up when he was pressed down by his three companions. With the sudden weight of six or seven hundred kilograms on him, the first bodyguard only had time to let out a scream before fainting. His ribs were actually broken by his own people!
No one could have imagined that Black Phoenix, a slender girl, could effortlessly deal with four burly men in an instant.
