Zhou Peng knew that Ye Qiu’s cure rate for cancer was one hundred percent, and up to now no one had ever heard of any relapse. That meant Ye Qiu’s medical skills were really both mysterious and formidable.

But Zhou Peng also knew that if Ye Qiu wasn’t willing to treat someone, he wouldn’t care if you were the King of Heaven or a billionaire—only if he was willing would he treat you.

Now, seeing how anxious Deputy Mayor Zhu’s wife looked, Zhou Peng said, "Madam Zhu, I’ll call Doctor Ye and ask first, but I can’t guarantee he’ll agree. Doctor Ye is different from other people; he doesn’t care about a patient’s background, money, or power."

"Director Zhou, as long as Doctor Ye is willing to treat my son and cure his illness, I’m willing to agree to any condition." Zhu Yunhui’s mother said hurriedly.

"I’d better call and ask first."

Zhou Peng picked up his phone and dialed Ye Qiu. At this moment, Ye Qiu was playing a game.

Seeing that it was a call from Zhou Peng—that bootlicking Director Zhou—Ye Qiu realized he hadn’t been in touch with him for quite a while. Besides him, of course, there was also Jinling Hospital’s Wen Xin; that nurse was the one Ye Qiu actually thought about.

"Director Zhou, what is it?"

"Doctor Ye, here’s the situation: the hospital currently has a special patient with mid-to-late-stage lung cancer, and we’re hoping you can come treat him."

"What kind of patient?"

There were plenty of mid-to-late-stage lung cancer patients, and Ye Qiu certainly didn’t expect it would actually be Zhu Yunhui himself.

"This patient is Deputy Mayor Zhu’s eldest young master."

Deputy Mayor Zhu’s eldest young master?

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected them to come looking for him this quickly.

"Director Zhou, are you sure this patient is Deputy Mayor Zhu’s eldest young master?"

"It’s him. His mother is right here with me. You two don’t happen to have some kind of conflict, do you?"

Hearing the odd tone in Ye Qiu’s voice, Zhou Peng felt his heart clench.

"You really guessed right. This brat went to harass and pester Li Qianqian before. On Friday I beat him up at Jin University. I didn’t expect he’d end up with cancer—this really is retribution!"

Harass and pester Li Qianqian?

Zhou Peng knew about Ye Qiu’s relationship with the mayor’s daughter. Ye Qiu giving the other guy a beating was perfectly normal.

He hadn’t expected that Deputy Mayor Zhu’s son would turn out to be that kind of scum.

Now he’d not only offended the mayor’s daughter, he’d also offended Ye Qiu.

How was Ye Qiu supposed to treat him now?

This instantly put Zhou Peng in a tough spot.

"If this brat dies, so be it. At least he won’t be out there harming other people."

Ye Qiu hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Zhou Peng looked extremely embarrassed. For a moment he just stood there, not knowing what to say.

Anyway, right now this Deputy Mayor Zhu was the third most powerful figure in Jinling, the number one among the vice mayors, with a lot of power in his hands.

Zhou Peng didn’t want to offend this kind of person; in fact, he’d prefer to curry favor with them.

The problem was, how was he supposed to handle this now?

If he didn’t handle it well, he might end up offending Mayor Li and Ye Qiu himself. For him, messing this up would be like getting himself covered in crap.

But if he didn’t handle it well right now, he’d offend this Deputy Mayor Zhu.

When she saw Zhou Peng hang up and his expression turn very ugly, Zhu Yunhui’s mother asked, "Director Zhou, what does that Doctor Ye mean? Is he coming over?"

"Madam Zhu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I just explained Young Master Zhu’s situation, and Doctor Ye immediately didn’t want to pay any attention."

"Why? Does he have some grudge against my son?"

"Well, um... I heard Doctor Ye say that Young Master Zhu went after Mayor Li’s daughter, but Doctor Ye is quite close to the mayor’s daughter. On Friday he beat Young Master Zhu up, so now when he heard that Young Master Zhu is sick, he didn’t even want to stay on the line."

Mayor Li’s daughter?

After a moment, Zhu Yunhui’s mother finally reacted.

So this Doctor Ye was actually Ye Qiu?

"The Doctor Ye you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be that Ye Qiu who beat my son, would he?"

"Madam Zhu, that’s right. The Doctor Ye I’m talking about is Ye Qiu. Back then—actually it was last year—Mayor Li’s daughter almost lost her life, and it was Ye Qiu who saved her."

So that’s how it is!

Zhu Yunhui’s mother was stunned.

Although she’d heard from her husband that this Ye Qiu’s background wasn’t simple, in her eyes he was just a young man. She hadn’t expected he’d actually be a doctor as well.

And his relationship with Li Zhiguo turned out to be that unusual. No wonder her husband said their son had deserved that beating this time.

However, Zhu Yunhui’s mother didn’t plan to pursue this matter any further, because she felt it was a blessing in disguise. If her son hadn’t been beaten and sent to the hospital for an examination, they wouldn’t have discovered he had cancer.

If not for that?

The more she thought about it, the more Zhu Yunhui’s mother felt she actually ought to be grateful to this Ye Qiu.

"Director Zhou, even though my son and Doctor Ye do have some conflict, I have no intention of going after him now. In fact, I want to thank him. If his medical skills are really that good, and he’s willing to treat my son, I’ll be even more grateful."

"If Doctor Ye himself isn’t willing to treat Young Master Zhu, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do."

Zhou Peng said helplessly.

"Where is this Doctor Ye? I’ll go find him."

Zhu Yunhui’s mother said.

She knew her son’s illness couldn’t wait. The longer they dragged things out, the more the cancer cells would spread, and the more her son would suffer.

As for treating it with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, that would probably only make her son suffer even more.

"Doctor Ye? He’s either at Jin University or in the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community. Judging from the situation, he’s probably at home."

"All right, I’ll go find him myself. As for my son, don’t start chemo or radiotherapy for now."

Zhu Yunhui’s mother hurriedly got ready to leave Jinling Hospital to look for Ye Qiu.

After Ye Qiu hung up the phone, he still looked a bit unhappy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He was in his room playing games and couldn’t be bothered with that stuff.

However, not long after, Xiaomai came upstairs and said, "Ye Qiu, someone’s looking for you downstairs."

"Who is it?"

"She said she wants you to treat her son. From how she’s dressed, she doesn’t look like an ordinary person."

After rushing over by car from Jinling Hospital, Zhu Yunhui’s mother had now arrived at the gate of Peach Blossom Spring Villa.

After she parked and walked into the villa’s main hall, she saw two beautiful women downstairs, one of them playing the piano.

Just looking at this villa, it was clear it belonged to someone wealthy.

She hadn’t expected that Ye Qiu would actually live here.

"What’s her name?"

"She didn’t say."

Ye Qiu already guessed who it was. He came downstairs and indeed saw Zhu Yunhui’s mother sitting there drinking tea and chatting with Lin Xiang.

But Ye Qiu only gave her a glance and seemed ready to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Zhu Yunhui’s mother had already noticed Ye Qiu.

"Doctor Ye, I’m here today in the name of a mother, to beg you to come treat my son."
