246: Chapter 247: Not a Penny Less 246: Chapter 247: Not a Penny Less Ye Qiu learned from his lingering consciousness that back then, even if he hadn’t stood up to save Su Luoluo, the middle-aged man driving the car was very likely coming for him. Just like the young man now. However, Ye Qiu hadn’t seen the two men from the car again. “A B-level killer?” “Qiu, he just admitted it,” Cai Yong said. Ye Qiu and Cai Yong entered the room, finding the young man beaten bloody by Cai Yong’s underlings. But Ye Qiu didn’t feel an ounce of pity. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and been a bit more skilled, he would have been dead by the roadside now. “Speak, who sent you to kill me?” “I don’t know, I only received half the bounty. The other half hasn’t been paid yet.” As a killer, Song Yang knew that failing a mission always came with the risk of death. Upon receiving the target’s information, he had assumed it would be an easy job given his current killer level. After ordering Cai Yong and his underlings to leave, Ye Qiu kicked the young man in the chest. He spat out blood, almost staining Ye Qiu’s clothes. Song Yang fell to the ground with the chair, but he didn’t make a sound. He knew the consequences of failure were like this. “Do you believe I won’t kill you right now?” Song Yang remained silent, realizing he had underestimated this young man. This guy was way tougher than he had imagined—an SSS-level killer would be needed to take him out. “Are you really saying you don’t know who wants me dead?” Song Yang could only nod with difficulty. “I’ll let you go, but you have to find out who the mastermind is!” Ye Qiu didn’t intend to kill Song Yang, or else he wouldn’t have brought him here; he would have let him die on the road. While Song Yang was still puzzled, he noticed his pain was gone and the ropes were untied. “Don’t think I can’t find you. You have one week to identify the employer!” As he released Song Yang, his gun and other weapons weren’t returned, and he didn’t get his car back either. Cai Yong didn’t expect Ye Qiu to let the man go like that. “I’m off. If you need anything, call me.” Ye Qiu took his electric bike from the trunk and rode away. He returned to the old neighborhood around two in the morning. Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue were already asleep, so Ye Qiu didn’t disturb them. He took his clothes to the bathroom, showered, and went to bed. Around seven in the morning, Ye Qiu woke up to his phone ringing. Seeing who it was, he answered, “What is it?” Ye Qiu asked. Zhao Rubing didn’t expect Ye Qiu to sound so cold. She replied, “When did you get back last night?” “Around two.” “Hey, you groped me all over last night and now you’re being so cold. I’ll tell my sister so she never talks to you again.” Zhao Rubing threatened. “Do as you like, we’re just friends anyway,” Ye Qiu replied. Zhao Rubing was just joking, but she didn’t realize Ye Qiu was too. She didn’t know Ye Qiu was also joking. “I feel like I’ve actually gotten a bit bigger.” Last night, after Ye Qiu had “treated” her, Zhao Rubing hadn’t thought much of it. But this morning, she noticed a significant change, and her usual bra seemed tighter. “It will keep growing,” Ye Qiu said. Zhao Rubing didn’t say more. Ye Qiu also hung up, got out to wash up, and saw Ye Xue had made breakfast. After breakfast, Chen Fang and Ye Weidong went back to the restaurant, and Ye Xue stayed home to study finance. She had wanted to ask Ye Qiu some questions, but he didn’t have time. Ye Qiu quickly left the house, picked up Liu Lingxiu, and returned to class. Just as he sat down, Su Luoluo approached to talk, but he noticed Zhang Wei at his desk. Zhang Wei had recovered and looked energetic. He wondered why Ye Qiu was still here. Did the killer fail? Zhang Wei gave Ye Qiu a spiteful look and continued studying. Ye Qiu thought, I’ll let you be comfortable for a few more days, then make Zhang Wei my test subject and see how long he can last this time. At Jinling People’s Hospital, Zhang Chuan was in the emergency room, his condition worsening far more rapidly than Shen Xingru’s had. His acute respiratory distress syndrome symptoms were severe, and he was now in critical care. Li Jin remembered what Ye Qiu had told him and knew Ye Qiu had quickly treated Shen Xingru’s illness. That meant Ye Qiu could cure Zhang Chuan too. Facing Zhang Chuan’s severe condition, Li Jin was helpless and feared Zhang Chuan might die in critical care. Last night, Li Jin had already informed Zhang Chuan’s family. When discussing Ye Qiu with Zhang Chuan’s wife, she quickly agreed to call Ye Qiu for help. Li Jin didn’t have Ye Qiu’s number but knew Shen Zhigang had it. He contacted Shen Zhigang to get Ye Qiu’s number. Sitting in his seat, Ye Qiu was chatting with Su Luoluo when his phone rang. He walked into the hallway and answered, “This is Ye Qiu.” “Dr. Ye, this is Li Jin from Jinling People’s Hospital. We’ve met before,” “What’s up?” Ye Qiu asked coolly, already guessing Li Jin’s reason for calling. “Director Zhang’s condition is critical. His family wants you to treat him,” “Dr. Li, tell his family that I can treat him, but they need to transfer a million to my account first. Otherwise, I don’t care if he lives or dies.” Ye Qiu had already told Li Jin about this. Li Jin didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be serious about wanting that million. He suspected it was because Zhang Chuan had lost a bet to Ye Qiu and reneged, so Ye Qiu was now taking revenge. “I’ll discuss it with his family and see what they decide,” Ye Qiu waited for about ten minutes before Li Jin called back, “Dr. Ye, I’ve discussed it with Director Zhang’s family. They ask if you could lower the amount?” “Tell them not a penny less,”
