“What, 1.5 billion?” Shu Yao was the first to jump up, and when he looked at Ye Lengan, his expression was filled with suspicion. “Why don’t you go rob someone?”
Not only Shu Yao, but everyone else had a similar reaction upon hearing this price. They all began to doubt their hearing. How could the other party demand such an exorbitant sum of 1.5 billion for mere medical fees?
If the Shu family were still in their prime, coming up with 1.5 billion wouldn’t be an issue. However, after the incident at the birthday banquet, the Shu family suffered a significant setback. They had only recently stabilized, and things were far from what they used to be.
Allocating 1.5 billion at this time would be detrimental to the group, and it could potentially disrupt their capital flow.
Furthermore, they questioned whether Ye Lengan had the actual ability to back up her demands. After all, they had already consulted renowned doctors from around the world with no success. Now, Ye Lengan arrived, glanced at the situation, and promptly requested 1.5 billion. It seemed like daylight robbery.
“Robbing is illegal,” Ye Lengan calmly stated. “Besides, I never said you must choose me to treat your father. If you’re unwilling to pay the medical fees, you can consider me as if I never came today.”
She didn’t pressure them to seek her treatment. She simply stated the required treatment fee and was indifferent to their decision.
“Miss Ye.” Shu Hui looked troubled. “The price you’re asking for is quite high. We currently can’t come up with that amount. Doctors should be compassionate. Can we discuss the consultation fee?”
Shu Hui was only moderately convinced of Ye Leng’an’s medical abilities. However, the substantial consultation fee she requested posed a real challenge. He also feared that if they agreed and Ye Lengan managed to cure his father, but they failed to pay, the consequences would be dire.
He hadn’t forgotten that the young woman before him was backed by the young master of the Huangfu family, or rather, the family head now, as the handover ceremony had supposedly taken place yesterday.
“Sorry, I don’t think so,” Ye Lengan asserted straightforwardly. “This isn’t a market where you can haggle over prices. However, I have an alternative treatment plan that costs only 500 million dollars.”
“What’s the plan?” Shu Hui inquired eagerly. However, the others, unlike Shu Hui, cast scrutinizing glances at Ye Lengan. They seemed to doubt her ability to cure Old Master Shu, especially considering her swift reduction from 1.5 billion to 500 million.
“l can help Old Master Shu regain consciousness without any illness,” Ye Lengan continued. “But his life expectancy would be limited to three months.
I can only extend his life for three months, and after that, he will pass away immediately.”
The room fell into a heavy silence.
No one knew if Ye Lengan could deliver on her claims, but they couldn’t deny that her second proposal was enticing. They could manage 500 million dollars, and three months should provide ample time for Old Master Shu to settle his affairs.
“Miss Ye, I can’t make a decision right now,” Shu Hui said with a troubled expression. “Furthermore, I’m unsure of Father’s thoughts.”
“That’s simple,” Ye Lengan replied directly. “Why don’t you ask Old Master Shu directly?”
“Can you really wake Father up?” Shu Yao leaped up, his expression marked with excitement. “You’re not deceiving us, are you? The doctors have already said that Father’s tumor has compressed his nerves, and unless surgery is performed to remove it, he won’t wake up.”
Of course, none of those doctors were willing to perform the surgery.
Ye Lengan paid no heed to Shu Yao and turned to Shu Hui, inquiring, “So, are you interested in hearing Old Master Shut’s opinion now?”
