Ling Zhenfei walked over, and Chen Dafu of course saw him. He made a "don't talk" gesture to him, and Ling Zhenfei of course understood Chen Dafu's intention, so he stood aside and waited.

"Yes, this is not easy to handle, why don't you try consulting Divine Doctor Hua."

"What, there's such a thing? That's really infuriating."

"Oh, what, you're willing to pay more? Paying more can work, but as you know, Ling Zhenfei isn't short of money. He has too many patients seeking his help; he only came yesterday because of my face."

"Oh, what, is that so? Since it's like this, I'll talk to Ling Zhenfei again. I think he should be able to think it through. Besides, he has to give me some face."

"Okay, President Jiang, we'll see each other in a while, goodbye."

After saying this, Chen Dafu hung up the call with a smile and turned to Ling Zhenfei with a grin.

"Alright, soon we'll negotiate with Jiang Ming for you."

"What exactly did you talk about with Jiang Ming just now? I didn't understand," said Ling Zhenfei curiously.

Chen Dafu chuckled and said, "Do you remember the Hua Feng, Divine Doctor Hua, we met yesterday? It turns out he was a fake divine doctor, just a scammer."

"A scammer?" Ling Zhenfei was shocked at that moment, not knowing what exactly had happened.

Chen Dafu, smiling, explained, "That's right. The real Hua Feng rarely meets people and is extremely low-profile. No one actually knows what he looks like."

"That person yesterday just took advantage of this loophole, pretending to be Hua Feng since no one knew who to recognize."

Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "That's not right. Hua Feng is a divine doctor; he can't just be a fake. What about the people he treated? Surely someone must have taken a photo of this Hua Feng?"

Ling Zhenfei was indeed very interested in this Hua Feng, simply because of the divine doctor's name.

Chen Dafu said, "It's indeed very strange. No one really posted his photo online, so there's not a single photo of him on the internet. Even the photos that are passed around are not of the same person, so Hua Feng is like a legend."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked. People like Hua Feng who truly shunned the limelight deserved the title.

At that moment, Chen Dafu continued, "The Hua Feng from yesterday vanished after receiving the money transferred by Jiang Ming. Now, Jiang Ming has already called the police, and they are searching for him."

"Can they catch up with him?" asked Ling Zhenfei.

"It's hard to say. This person dared to do such a thing, he must have prepared thoroughly, so I think the possibility of catching him is very small."

"But we don't need to worry about that now. It's our turn to enter the scene. This Jiang Ming has very strong connections, you can make any demands, and he will certainly hold up his end," said Chen Dafu, a look of joy on his face as if he had hit the jackpot.

However, Ling Zhenfei was hesitant at this moment, "Using someone's life as a threat to make others agree to our terms isn't really ethical."

Chen Dafu said, "Aren't you caring a bit too much? Have you forgotten how they kicked you out yesterday? Forgotten how you were humiliated?"

With that said, Ling Zhenfei felt somewhat better, able to justify his actions. If he had to threaten someone's life, he definitely wouldn't do it.

The two headed upstairs together, quickly arriving at the hospital room—it was the same one as yesterday.

But the situation now was very different from yesterday, whether it was the people waiting outside the door or those inside the room, their expressions were grim.

Ling Zhenfei faintly realized the severity of the problem. It was certain that there had been an unfavorable turn in the old man's illness.

Just yesterday, Ling Zhenfei had noticed that the treatment methods of the fake Divine Doctor Hua were off. He had raised his concerns, but not only was he unsupported, he was also humiliated by Jiang Ming.

But now, thinking it over, Old Master Jiang's severe condition was definitely greatly related to the fake divine doctor's treatment. The profession of a doctor isn't ordinary; it's not something you can just fill with anyone.

A doctor's professionalism is high; you can't just fill the role with anyone. If it goes wrong, it could be fatal.

Feeling somewhat anxious, Ling Zhenfei walked into the hospital room where the silence of the night lay heavier than the day before.

Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei enter, those who had been seated all stood up.

"Divine Doctor Ling, you've arrived."

It was only a day later, but Jiang Ming's attitude had changed drastically, no longer holding the superior demeanor he had the day before.

Ling Zhenfei nodded slightly, then walked over to Old Master Jiang's side and felt his pulse.

Then, he released Old Master Jiang's wrist and turned to walk out.

Chen Dafu didn't understand what Ling Zhenfei intended, but he could only follow Ling Zhenfei out, with Jiang Ming and a few others hurriedly following.

"Mr. Ling, why are you leaving? What do you mean?" Jiang Ming asked, blocking Ling Zhenfei's way, puzzled.

With a pained expression, Ling Zhenfei said, "The old master's sickness is too severe. I advise you to give up, it's not worth it."

Jiang Ming grabbed Ling Zhenfei and asked, "Divine Doctor Ling, what do you mean by 'it's not worth it'?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "To help the old master extend his life is not impossible, but the amount of Spiritual Medicine needed is too much, the cost too high, and it can only maintain his condition, not cure him completely."

Jiang Ming, holding Ling Zhenfei earnestly, said, "Treat him, no matter the cost. I don't need you to completely cure the old master; I just need you to give him more time."

"Your filial piety is commendable, but I still can't treat him," Ling Zhenfei replied and then walked away.

But Jiang Ming grabbed him again, "Divine Doctor Ling, I know I was wrong. You must still be angry about yesterday, but I really recognize my error. I apologize to you. Just help my father. No matter how much money you want, I will give it to you."

Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I really don't need money. Let me be honest with you. Treating your father would consume a lot of my Spiritual Power, which isn't something money can buy."

"In that case, Mr. Ling, since you aren't interested in money, name your condition. As long as you can say it, I can surely meet it," Jiang Ming seemed to make up his mind.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei had been waiting for Jiang Ming to say this. Indeed, treating Old Master Jiang would require a great amount of his Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Energy is a very scarce resource on Earth nowadays and is extremely precious to other spiritual energy cultivators.

However, to Ling Zhenfei, Spiritual Energy is not a necessity. His Di Tian Shen Sui contained plenty of Spiritual Energy, and its density was several times higher than that of the Earth.

It was precisely because of this reason that Ling Zhenfei was able to cultivate so quickly.

"Jiang Ming, you might be overpromising here. Anything you can do. I really don't believe that," Ling Zhenfei also wanted to give himself an out.

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei hadn't yet left, a relieved Jiang Ming said, "Really, truly. I'm a man of my word. Not only that, I'll still pay the treatment fees."
