The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 289 The Attitude of the Zou Family

An awkward silence enveloped the Zou family’s living room. Zou Zedong was so full of regret that his guts turned green. He cautiously watched for any changes in Ye Chenfeng’s expression. If it weren’t for Ji Weiguo being an old friend of his, he wouldn’t have bothered introducing someone as esteemed as Ye Chenfeng to him! And now, Ji Weiguo had completely offended Ye Chenfeng.

"Weiguo, if you consider me a friend and still trust my words," Zou Zedong said with a serious look on his face, "please apologize to Chenfeng. His medical skills are truly beyond your imagination. Let me say something you might not like to hear: being able to meet Chenfeng is a blessing from your past life." Zou Zedong thought, could he, the esteemed director of Tianhai People’s Hospital, be so easily swayed? Ji Weiguo was seriously underestimating him.

Ji Weiguo’s face turned ashen with discontent as he said, "Zedong, are you really going to fall out with me over a charlatan and swindler? Even international medical authorities can’t cure cancer without surgery or chemotherapy. Tales like that might fool a three-year-old, but for us in the medical field, they’re nothing but a ridiculous joke. Can’t you see that?"

"Kid, what kind of spell have you cast on Zedong?" Ji Weiguo targeted Ye Chenfeng with accusation. "You’d better come clean right now, or you’ll regret it. I may just be a doctor, but I know plenty of people. Do you even have a medical license? And you claim to cure cancer? I could have you behind bars. Believe it or not?" Ji Weiguo pointed his finger at Ye Chenfeng.

Zou Linlin felt suffocated by Ji Weiguo’s accusations against Ye Chenfeng. She had long seen Ye Chenfeng as her future man. How could she stand by and watch her man being slandered time and again? Chin up and indignant, she said, "Grandpa Ji, don’t you think your words are quite impolite? How can you be so sure he’s a fraud without having seen Chenfeng’s medical skills yourself? My grandfather and I have seen with our own eyes Chenfeng curing cancer patients. I think you owe Chenfeng an apology."

Ye Chenfeng’s face remained impassive. If a few words from Ji Weiguo were enough to anger him, then with all the scum in this world, wouldn’t he be living in a constant state of rage? As long as they didn’t cross his bottom line, he only considered them as pesky flies buzzing around his ears.

Even though Zou Zedong and Zou Linlin claimed to have seen Ye Chenfeng cure cancer patients, Ji Weiguo didn’t believe them for a second. There were too many fraudsters in society, with most of their tricks undetectable by ordinary people. A drug that could cure cancer without surgery or chemotherapy was something that had just begun to show promise in foreign research. To truly develop such a drug would take at least ten more years, if not longer.

So in Ji Weiguo’s opinion right now, it was impossible for any doctor to treat cancer without surgery or chemotherapy. Then again, this was just wishful thinking on his part.

Just as the atmosphere in the Zou’s living room remained tense, Zou Zedong’s son Zou Wenhai and daughter-in-law Qiao Yi came home. As soon as they saw Ye Chenfeng, smiles spread across their faces. Unaware of the tension in the room, they respectfully approached Ye Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Ye, what brings you here today? Why didn’t you let us know in advance? We would have liked to stay at home to welcome you!"

After respectfully greeting Ye Chenfeng, Zou Wenhai and Qiao Yi noticed Ji Weiguo’s unpleasant demeanor. "Uncle Ji, what are you doing here today?" Zou Wenhai asked. "When did you return to Tianhai?"

Ji Weiguo waved his hand and said, "Wenhai, you’ve arrived just in time. As Tianhai’s top official, you must understand matters better. This kid is nothing but a fraud. Call the police and have him arrested immediately." Ji Weiguo pointed at Ye Chenfeng.

"Uncle Ji, isn’t there some misunderstanding here? How could Mr. Ye be swindling anyone?" Zou Wenhai frowned.

"Wenhai, why would you address this kid as Mr. Ye? You’re the respected Party Secretary of Tianhai. You’re embarrassing yourself! Both your father and your daughter say this kid can cure cancer, and he even had the audacity to suggest that I have cancer. Isn’t this a textbook case of fraud?" Ji Weiguo yelled.

"Uncle Ji, I think you have truly misunderstood Mr. Ye," said Zou Wenhai earnestly. "He indeed possesses exceptionally advanced medical skills, which I have experienced firsthand. If Mr. Ye says you have cancer, you should really consider getting a check-up at the hospital."

Ji Weiguo had expected Zou Wenhai to be more reasonable. Instead, he was just like Zou Zedong and Zou Linlin, fooled by Ye Chenfeng’s tricks. Ji Weiguo felt his anger boiling uncontrollably. "Wenhai," he said, "I heard you’ll soon be transferred to the provincial government. To mistake a swindler for a Divine Doctor shows a serious lack of judgement on your part."

Listening to Ji Weiguo’s endless chatter, Ye Chenfeng found himself growing impatient. He had kindly warned the other party of their cancer diagnosis, only to be met with such unruly and unreasonable fuss. He truly wanted to slap this conceited old man, Ji Weiguo, across the face. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Mr. Zou, it seems I won’t be able to enjoy dinner with you today. I think I’d better leave now," Ye Chenfeng prepared to turn and walk away.

"So you’re trying to flee after I’ve exposed your lies? Today, I must have you arrested to prevent any further scamming in Tianhai. The number of people who have probably died at the hands of a quack doctor like you must be far from small," Ji Weiguo stood his ground and bellowed.

This time, Ye Chenfeng’s expression turned icy cold. Seeing the change in Ye Chenfeng’s face, the heart rates of Zou Zedong, Zou Wenhai, Qiao Yi, and others immediately quickened. They had all witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s divine skills with their own eyes, and in their hearts, Ye Chenfeng was nearly equivalent to an immortal being. They had reminded Ji Weiguo time and time again, yet Ji Weiguo only intensified his insults towards Ye Chenfeng, treating their advice as nothing but wind past his ears.

"Weiguo, it seems you’re not fit to stay at the Zou’s any longer today. Let’s have dinner another day," Zou Zedong was effectively showing him out.

"Zedong, what do you mean by this? Are you turning against me for the sake of such a charlatan?" Ji Weiguo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Uncle Ji, one day you will realize just how foolish your actions today have been, missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime chance," Zou Wenhai shook his head. Had Ji Weiguo been a bit more polite and respectful to Ye Chenfeng today, wouldn’t that have meant making a connection with a master? Nowadays, it’s hard to find one master like Ye Chenfeng among tens of thousands, thus he said Ji Weiguo had lost a rare opportunity.

"Wen Hai, even you want me to leave the Zou’s now? Very well! Wen Hai, I think you should stay and gain more experience in Tianhai! You’re not yet qualified to move up to the provincial level. You’ll regret not believing my words someday. This kid is nothing but a charlatan," Ji Weiguo said, leaving the Zou household furiously.

Zou Wenhai’s expression shifted slightly. Initially, his transfer to the provincial level was all but confirmed, but with Ji Weiguo’s words, this could now be blown. After all, Ji Weiguo had connections with many leaders in the province, and if he intended to keep Zou Wenhai in Tianhai, the provincial leaders would definitely give him some face.

However, Ji Weiguo’s claim that the Zou family would one day regret it seemed quite preposterous to them. If anyone were to regret anything in the end, it was more likely to be the conceited old man, Ji Weiguo himself!

"Mr. Zou, Uncle Zou, I’m sorry for the trouble today. I’ll come over for dinner another day," Ye Chenfeng said.

"Mr. Ye, please don’t say such things. Uncle Ji was just too narrow-minded. You must have dinner with us tonight before you leave!" Zou Wenhai said respectfully.

"That’s right! Chenfeng, let’s forget the unhappy matters and have a lively dinner together later. These days, I look forward to you visiting the Zou household every day," Zou Zedong said with a smile.

"Chenfeng, after dinner, you still have to teach me martial arts! You’re not getting away this evening," Zou Linlin said, chest thrust forward proudly. (To be continued. If you like this book, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
