Chapter 532: Chapter 531: Together with Ye Kai (2/3)
Master Ye thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need, tomorrow is fine! After all, I also..."
Master Ye hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Tell me, what else do you need?"
Yang Chen stood up, walked to the desk, picked up pen and paper, and started writing.
In a short while, a list of necessary materials and a herbal list was ready.
Yang Chen handed both lists to Master Ye and said in a serious tone, "These tools must be prepared, otherwise no matter how skilled we are, we can’t conduct the surgery smoothly. As for the surgery location, it might be in a secret room, since it’s not safe outside, and your health condition shouldn’t be disclosed."
Right now, Master Ye can be said to be the pillar of the Ye family. Why does he want to keep living like this? Because once he passes away, the Ye family’s status might plummet, be pushed out from the frontline, retreat to secondary or tertiary positions, or even be annexed!
Therefore, Master Ye’s safety is of utmost importance.
Master Ye nodded, understanding Yang Chen’s concerns.
"Additionally, these medicinal herbs are also crucial. They help stabilize and nourish your body, so they must be gathered, and the older they are, the better. They must absolutely not be diluted, understand?" Yang Chen said solemnly.
Master Ye looked at the list of herbs, frowning.
Three hundred-year-old ginseng.
Two sixty-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
One fifty-year-old Rhizoma Polygonati.
...
The age required for these herbs is quite long. Polygonum multiflorum is fine as it’s not rare in deep mountains, and is not too expensive.
However, hundred-year-old ginseng is another story.
Once, an auctioned ginseng of a hundred and eighty years reached a high price of nine million.
Even a hundred-year-old ginseng needs a high price in the millions, right?
If it’s grown artificially, it simply can’t be that old.
As for Rhizoma Polygonati... it might also be hard to find.
Looking at the densely packed herbs, there were many Master Ye didn’t even recognize.
"This..." Master Ye furrowed his brows, reluctantly saying, "I’ll try to find someone to gather them!"
Yang Chen nodded, "The price is not an issue, the initial medication is especially important, it will be much easier afterwards, and the herbs will be easier to find."
Master Ye nodded, "I understand."
Yang Chen stood up, bid farewell to Master Ye, knowing that Master Ye needed some time to adjust.
After Yang Chen left, Master Ye called Ye Liangcai and Ye Liangdong, showed them the lists, and demanded that they must find these herbs at any cost.
...
Jin Chen suburban area.
Luxury villa district.
Someone arrived at the front of a villa and rang the doorbell.
A butler came out to open the door, seeing the visitor, immediately let him in.
As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Brother Ye Kai, are you going to the party tonight?"
"Yes! Wait a minute, I’ll be out soon!" Ye Kai’s voice came from upstairs, followed by a woman’s scream.
The visitor shook his head, sat on the sofa, and patiently waited.
...
Noon.
Ye Kai returned to the Ye family yawning.
Ye Kai asked the guards at the door, "Have you seen the two women who came with Yang Chen?"
The guard said, "The two of them went out shopping."
"Shopping?" Ye Kai frowned, asked, "Where did they go shopping?"
"Not sure, but Xiaowang and another guard followed them!"
Ye Kai said, "Ask Xiaowang where they are."
"Yes!"
After asking, the guard said, "At Sancun Dam."
"Alright!"
Ye Kai immediately turned and left.
...
Afternoon.
Ye Kai drove back with a Jeep Cherokee, bringing Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing, both looking happy, talking and laughing.
Yang Chen saw this scene, and frowned.
To be honest, he didn’t have a good impression of Ye Kai.
Seeing Ye Kai getting so close to Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing, he naturally felt very wary.
Chen Siyan saw Yang Chen, looked happy, rushed over, and said, "Brother, look, Brother Ye Kai bought me a lot of things!"
Yang Chen frowned, "Are you that familiar with him to accept things from him?"
Hearing the coldness in Yang Chen’s voice, Chen Siyan immediately looked at Yang Chen’s face, and sure enough, found his face looked very upset, so she said softly, "He’s sister-in-law’s brother..."
"Does that mean you can accept things from others?" Yang Chen’s voice was very stern.
"But... but..." Chen Siyan seemed very aggrieved.
"Return them!" Yang Chen scolded, "What did the dean teach you? Have you forgotten?"
Since childhood, the dean taught them to not accept freebies or other’s things easily. Even if one is poor, they must have dignity!
Yang Chen always held himself to this standard and hoped that Chen Siyan could also keep herself clean.
Hearing Yang Chen’s scolding, Chen Siyan stood there without daring to move, so wronged that tears were about to fall.
Wei Xueqing hurried over to hug Chen Siyan and said to Yang Chen, "What’s wrong with you! It’s just a little shopping and buying clothes, do you have to go this far?"
Yang Chen stared at Wei Xueqing, "I don’t care what you take from others, but Yanyan can’t!"
"You bastard!" Wei Xueqing was furious, what does he mean by she can take things from others? What does Yang Chen take her for?
Immediately Wei Xueqing said angrily, "At worst, I’ll pay for it myself!"
"No!" Yang Chen coldly said, "The items my own sister bought should be paid for by me!"
"You!" Wei Xueqing was too angry to speak.
On the side, seeing this, Ye Kai couldn’t help but clench his fists.
To be honest, he didn’t have a good feeling about Yang Chen either, even disgusted.
But the old master of his family instructed him to get along with Yang Chen well, otherwise he wouldn’t have done this!
Thinking of this, Ye Kai forced a smile, walked over, and said, "Brother Chen, I think you misunderstood."
"This isn’t about misunderstandings, it’s about principles!" Yang Chen glanced at him, said calmly.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Ye Kai’s eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Chen, let me explain, it’s actually like this. When I went shopping at Sancun Dam at noon today, two rogue photographers tried to pull them to model for photoshoots. You know how chaotic the photography circle in Jin Chen is. I went up to help, those two directly tried to snatch them, and I got into a fight with them. Later, thinking it’s unsafe for the two girls to shop alone, I accompanied them, and bought a little gift meaning no harm."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen frowned, looking at Chen Siyan.
Chen Siyan nodded with grievance.
Yang Chen thought for a moment, and said to Ye Kai, "How much did you spend in total? I’ll have someone transfer it to you."
"No need!" Ye Kai quickly said, "Brother Chen, you don’t have to insult me like this. We had a misunderstanding before; consider this my apology, okay?"
Yang Chen frowned.
At this time, a car drove in, shouting at Ye Kai, "Brother Ye Kai, hurry up, the party is about to start. Are you going or not?"
"Going, going! Of course, I’m going!" Ye Kai quickly said.
After saying this, Ye Kai looked at Yang Chen and the others, smiled, and said, "Brother Chen, Yanyan, Xueqing, tonight our group has a small party, why not join us and have some fun?"
