After Prison, She Shocks the World-Chapter 91: Ren Ye, the Old Fox

"Your master’s death is somewhat related to me. Don’t you want to avenge him? And what about your senior brother Lu Zhan’s severed finger..."

Lu Yuan shook his head. "I actually went to the banquet at Sully as well. I was with the Su Family’s medical team, so I know the whole story. Besides, I understand my master better than you do. I’m well aware of the kind of person he was and the things he did."

Although Lu Yuan was engrossed in medical arts, he wasn’t truly indifferent to everything else. He knew that he needed to meet a variety of people in order to encounter an abundance of patients. He didn’t want to waste his time on ineffective socializing; he only interacted with people he found interesting. Targeted networking saved more time and achieved goals faster than mingling with everyone. He admired Li Rui’s obsession and deep dedication to the medical arts, and he also liked people like Fu Bing, who were willing to use their own influence to build a platform for doctors. Once Fu Bing’s platform was successfully established, she would become the most prominent public face in the medical field, and the entire healthcare sector could potentially become part of her network. The amount of power and benefits contained within it was immeasurable. This would certainly attract the envy and sabotage of countless people. If Fu Bing couldn’t protect herself, she would be in great danger.

Lu Yuan glanced at Wu Shi, who had been silent since he appeared, and asked in a hushed voice, "Can your bodyguard take a hit? I’m afraid you might be assassinated someday."

"He’ll be fine."

Behind Wu Shi were the Unjustly Deceased. Fu Bing was unclear what kind of organization it was, but from Lu Ji’s reaction that night, it was evident Wu Shi’s identity was extraordinary. She had never asked Wu Shi why he was willing to stay by her side. He was a benefactor to Aunt Ning and Uncle He, so it was not her place to question him. To her, he was not just a bodyguard, but a friend. He was free to come and go as he pleased. Even if he left, he would arrange for Mu He to protect her, which showed that he also placed her in a position of importance. Other things weren’t so important.

Shen Linxing listened to Fu Bing and Lu Yuan’s conversation throughout, without interjecting.

She found Fu Bing very charming; after being in close contact with her, it was hard to dislike her. Fu Bing was very tactful in her actions, and she didn’t create a sense of distance when interacting with others. She was the kind of woman that men would appreciate and other women would not envy. Of course, this didn’t exclude certain individuals with peculiar ideas from disliking her.

After chatting with the team members, Fu Bing took her drink to pay respects to Elder Jiang, President Han, and Ren Ye.

Elder Jiang added several chopsticks’ worth of food to her plate. "Eat more, you’ve lost weight."

"Thank you for your concern. I’ll try to gain some weight," Fu Bing said with a smile, resembling a child as she lightly clinked glasses with Elder Jiang, President Han, Ren Ye, and Jian Yao. "I’d like to give a brief update on the platform’s progress to all you distinguished leaders. The preliminary structure of the website has now been completed and is in the debugging phase. The email address for difficult and complex cases that our team previously made public has received over three thousand case files. Our team has organized these cases according to their regional distribution. So far, our team’s doctors have cured 349 cases, with 70% being treated using traditional Chinese medicine methods."

"The next step is to discuss pilot projects with local hospitals. In this regard, I don’t have much of an advantage and will need to draw upon your experience and connections to handle it."

Elder Jiang nodded in satisfaction. "To accomplish so much in less than a month is commendable. President Han, let’s hear your thoughts. Fu Bing has risked her life with these endeavors, offending many people both openly and secretly. You can’t let her draw all the fire while you sit back and reap the rewards."

President Han understood Elder Jiang’s point. The medical industry had always been hugely profitable and life-critical, with stringent management from top to bottom. Having held his position for over a decade, President Han was well aware of the intricacies involved. Without official support, Fu Bing’s ventures couldn’t be widely implemented and might even be accused of organizing illegal medical practices.

President Han said, "I’ve already made arrangements to start with two hospitals in Jiangnan as pilot locations. If the results are good, we’ll roll it out further, step by step."

Elder Jiang replied, "You all are too conservative in your approach, always fearing this and that before you even begin. No wonder the market for traditional Chinese medicine is in such disarray! When someone takes the lead, you complain they’re doing it for personal gain. You are quite a difficult bunch to serve."

Even as he was scolded, President Han could only accept it. "It can’t be helped. With such a large population base, even a minor decision can affect millions, even tens of millions of people; we have to be cautious."

President Han said to Fu Bing, "Don’t worry. If anything comes up, you can come to me, and I will do my utmost to clear the obstacles ahead for you. The outcome may not always be good, but we will work hard together."

"Okay."

Elder Jiang, who rarely gave his word, now made a promise, and his expression softened a little. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Fu Bing was very clear that this was not something that could be accomplished overnight. This endeavor was meant to take years, even decades, and certain processes had to be experienced.

Ren Ye listened from the side, making no comment. His presence here meant that President Han could not possibly ignore him. It was indeed because of Ren Ye that President Han had given such a clear answer. Elder Jiang’s status was undeniably high; he was the foremost authority in the medical field today. However, he was not often in Jiangnan and had already retired from the front lines. Ren Ye was different. Ren Ye’s stated reason for hosting them was that, as Fu Bing’s elder, he was treating them to this meal. This meant that the relationship between Fu Bing and Ren Ye was now tightly bound; Ren Ye was Fu Bing’s backer. He [President Han] couldn’t brush Ren Ye off.

When Ren Ye saw his secretary appear at the entrance of the dining room, he said, "I have something to take care of. I’ll be right back."

The secretary looked troubled. "The Jiang family elders, along with Ren Ye’s older brother and his wife, are causing a scene in the lobby."

"What for?"

"Jiang Linyuan’s injuries are very serious, especially the damage to the lower half of his body. They want to ask the team members to treat him."

The secretary dared not say they had specifically asked for Fu Bing to provide treatment. They had been trying to spread rumors about Chief Ren and Fu Ying just that day, and now they wanted one of them to provide medical treatment. Who could be so brazen?

"Send them away to avoid..." Ren Ye was about to refuse but changed his mind on the spot. "Have Ren Zhi arrange a room for them. I’ll arrange for a doctor."

"Yes, sir."

Ren Ye returned to the dining room and said to Lu Yuan, "Dr. Lu, there’s a favor I’d like to ask of you."

"Please tell me, President Ren."

"My older brother’s brother-in-law has suffered serious injuries and is currently in the hotel. You’re the most suitable person here to treat him. Would you be willing to help me with this?"

A flicker of guilt crossed Lu Yuan’s face. "No, no problem." He’d just beaten up Jiang Linyuan, and now he had to be the one to treat him.

Lu Yuan wiped his hands and was about to get up when Shen Linxing grabbed him.

Shen Linxing leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Make sure to give him a hard time."

"You don’t have to tell me that."

Lu Yuan bounded out happily, rolling up his sleeves as he hopped along, looking ready for a big fight.

A subtle, malicious smile played on the corners of Ren Ye’s mouth.

Wu Shi watched the whole scene with detached interest.

This old fox, Ren Ye, was full of cunning schemes, and nothing in Jiangnan could be kept from him. Within less than twenty-four hours, he had clearly pieced together the entire sequence of events of Jiang Linyuan’s injury and his being tossed into Gu Yazheng’s car, and had quickly chosen a side. He intended to separate his interests from those of the Ren Family and the Jiang Family, and stand behind Fu Bing.
