88: Chapter 88: Fixed Price of 5 Million 88: Chapter 88: Fixed Price of 5 Million Just now, Zhou Yuxia had received a call from Zhou Lili. Their father seemed to be in a state of terminal lucidity, wanting to see her one last time. Zhou Yuxia hurriedly led Ye Qiu into the high-level ward. As soon as they entered, Ye Qiu could smell the stench of death. Generally speaking, living people have a certain vitality. If someone is seriously ill, their vitality diminishes. The more severe the illness, the less vitality they have, becoming listless. Those nearing death, whether human or animal, will exude a certain aura of death from within. Now, as soon as Ye Qiu stepped inside, he could instantly detect it. As for ordinary people, if the ward didn’t have other odors, they too could smell the aura of death. However, this ward was filled with the scent of Western medicine, mixed with other smells. Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu, and Li Shen followed in, but they either didn’t detect it or didn’t pay attention. When Zhou Yuxia returned, despite the crowded ward, everyone made way for her. Zhou Yuxia looked towards Ye Qiu and said, “Dr. Ye, please come and check on my father.” Zhou Bao’s relatives, friends, and the company’s management had not expected that Zhou Yuxia had left to find such a young person to treat Zhou Bao. They couldn’t believe it! Ye Qiu followed and immediately saw the skeletal old man on the bed. He knew that, given the current state of the old man, he wouldn’t survive the night. Without further examination, from the smell of death, Ye Qiu knew that the old man’s internal organs had begun to rot, which was causing the foul smell of death. The old man was suffering from lung cancer, now in its terminal stage, with cancer cells spreading to other parts. These parts had undergone long-term treatment. Especially after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which brought Zhou Bao immense pain without much effect, the cancer cells hadn’t been eradicated but had spread to more areas. Seeing Ye Qiu’s unchanged expression, Zhou Yuxia asked, “Dr. Ye, how is my father’s condition?” Zhou Lili and other family members couldn’t believe Zhou Yuxia actually brought this young man to treat their father. Had Zhou Yuxia gone mad? Or had she been deceived? This young man looked like a high school student. Could he really have medical skills? Besides Liu Lingxiu and Li Shen, even Su Luoluo couldn’t believe Ye Qiu was there to treat anyone. Moreover, the patient on the bed was already in the terminal stage of lung cancer, a condition untreatable worldwide. Did Ye Qiu have a solution? “Miss Zhou, your father won’t survive the night.” Ye Qiu said calmly. The Zhou family knew that given Zhou Bao’s recent state of terminal lucidity, he wouldn’t have lasted long. Now, he was hanging on by a thread, possibly waiting for Zhou Wenting to fly back from abroad to see him one last time. “I just want to know, can my father be cured?” Zhou Yuxia asked. She didn’t care about anything else, only if her father’s condition could be treated. The Zhou family, relatives, friends, and company management could see that Zhou Bao didn’t have much time left. Zhou Yuxia’s question made them think she was crazy. “Big sister, why did you bring him here?” Zhou Lili asked curiously. “He was personally recommended by Vice President Zhou Peng, so he shouldn’t be a fraud.” If it were anyone else, Zhou Yuxia wouldn’t believe them. But Zhou Peng was the vice president of Jinling Hospital, the second-in-command, and definitely wouldn’t deceive her. Hearing this, Zhou Lili didn’t react as she had before. However, the Zhou family’s relatives still found it odd. “I’ve said that as long as there’s a breath left, I can treat. But I won’t treat your father for free.” Ye Qiu said in the same tone. Hearing this, Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Lili were delighted. But the rest of the Zhou family looked at the young man, thinking he was a fraud, daring to speak such words in front of so many people. “Miss, this guy is definitely a fraud. Kick him out.” “Exactly, he looks like a scammer. How could such a young person be a doctor?” “If it were me, I’d have had security throw him out already!” … Amidst the discussions, had Ye Qiu not been brought in by Zhou Yuxia, he would have been thrown out long ago. “I don’t want to hear other people’s nonsense here.” Ye Qiu said coldly. Zhou Yuxia understood. She immediately asked Zhou Lili to arrange for the Zhou family, relatives, friends, and company management to wait outside. However, the Zhou family feared Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Lili might do something else. Liu Yu and her two elder brothers, Liu Ping and Liu Feng, refused to leave. Since they didn’t want to leave, Zhou Yuxia didn’t force her stepmother to go out. Soon, the high-level ward only had Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, Liu Yu, and Liu Yu’s brothers Liu Ping and Liu Feng, along with Ye Qiu, Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming. Even so, the number of people in the ward remained numerous. Ye Qiu said, “Miss Zhou, if I cure your father, how much will you pay?” “How much do you want?” Ye Qiu wasn’t clear on the market rate for treatments, but from Zhou Yuxia’s attire, he could tell her father was wealthy. So, he figured curing him should be worth at least tens of thousands. Moreover, Ye Qiu needed the money. “Tell me your price, and I’ll consider it.” Ye Qiu said. “If you completely cure my father’s illness, one price, five million. If you dare cheat me, I’ll have someone break your legs. Of course, if you can stabilize my father’s condition, making him live a few more years, I’ll give you two million.” Zhou Yuxia didn’t really know if Ye Qiu could cure her father, but if he did, the payment would surely follow. Now, Zhou Yuxia said this to avoid wasting time with Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu tried to cheat her, better to warn him now to leave immediately. She gave him this chance mainly because she trusted Vice President Zhou Peng, and also wanted to take a gamble—maybe a miracle would happen. “Yuxia, I know you love your father, but are you sure this young man isn’t a fraud?” Speaking now was the middle-aged woman, not much older than Zhou Yuxia, her stepmother Liu Yu. However, from her appearance, she looked about the same age as Zhou Yuxia. “I’ll completely cure your father’s illness, five million.” Ye Qiu said. He didn’t want to waste words with Zhou Yuxia. Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming, watching from the side, were stunned by what they heard.
