Chapter 1997: Chapter 1957: A Call from the Ye Family

Just like Lin Xiang, Liu Lingxiu took out her phone and camera to take pictures while Ye Qiu slowly rowed downstream with a paddle.

It’s quite apparent that the river here likely had a number of hidden reefs, which have been blasted away. Now, rowing is very smooth, and apart from these tourists, there are quite a few boats selling things, presumably operated by the staff of the scenic area.

There are boats selling various drinks, fruits, and all kinds of snacks.

Many tourists had bought food and drink before coming here, so not many bought anything here.

"Do you guys want to eat anything?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"I want to drink water."

Lin Xiang said.

As Ye Qiu waved to a staff member on a boat, the staff quickly came over and asked, "Sir, what would you like to buy?"

"I want eight treasures porridge." Xiaomai said.

Very quickly, these young ladies bought quite a bit of food, which was priced about twice as high as outside.

That’s not too outrageous.

After buying, they continued rowing forward.

At this point, they were already at Shidu, where Young Master Zhou and Cao Long were following behind.

"Ye Qiu, this water is really cold." Cao Ling said.

This area has a karst terrain, and the water here is definitely colder than ordinary spring water. If you go to the southern karst terrains to play, the underground water there would be even colder.

"It’s normal, you can wash your face with it."

Drinking this water wouldn’t cause any problems, but Ye Qiu found that there were too many tourists, which certainly led to some pollution. Although it looks like green mountains and clear waters, after a certain level of development, it has changed quite a bit from the original.

"Doctor Ye, wait for me."

Young Master Zhou and his group waved from behind.

Ye Qiu had no choice but to stop, and when Young Master Zhou and his group caught up, Cao Long looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Doctor Ye, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who?"

"Ye Family, Ye Feng’s family wants to find you."

No need to say, Ye Qiu understood that Ye Feng must be in a serious condition, and his family would quickly want to find him for treatment.

"Just say I went back to Jinling."

"I will say that."

Seeing Ye Qiu’s expression, Cao Long and Young Master Zhou knew that Ye Qiu definitely didn’t want to deal with Ye Feng.

Actually, they still didn’t quite understand now why Ye Qiu beat up Ye Feng at the restaurant that day, and shortly after Ye Feng was beaten, it’s been reported that he’s now suffering all kinds of illnesses in a very serious condition.

Of course, Young Master Zhou and the others certainly didn’t associate this with Ye Qiu.

"Mrs. Ye, Doctor Ye has already returned to Jinling, calling me won’t help." Cao Long said on the phone.

"Returned? When did he return? Get him back here quickly!"

Get him back quickly?

On the phone, Ye Qiu could hear this woman’s domineering tone. Certainly, like mother like son; this Ye Feng being so domineering must have a lot to do with her teachings.

Even Cao Long felt awkward; how could he make Ye Qiu come back?

"Mrs. Ye, Doctor Ye really returned, he might already be at Jinling airport." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"No matter what, he must return to the Capital City immediately to treat my son. If anything happens to my son because this Ye doesn’t treat him, I definitely won’t spare him."

The more Cao Long listened, the more awkward he felt, so he quickly hung up the phone.

This Ye Feng’s mother was just too arrogant.

Now, Ye Feng is on the brink of dying. Originally, they came to ask for help, but unexpectedly, they talked in such an arrogant tone, making it difficult for him to communicate this to Ye Qiu.

She thinks her Ye Family is really high and mighty, and everyone has to listen to her.

"People like this deserve no pity." Ye Qiu said coldly.

Cao Long was surprised when they called again; he could only answer. Immediately, a voice on the other side said, "Cao Long, why did you hang up my call? Get him back here quickly."

"Mrs. Ye, I am not related to Doctor Ye in any way; why would he listen to me? If you want to find him, go do it yourself; calling me won’t help."

Now even Cao Long admired this Ye Feng’s mother a bit. How could a young lady from a big family have such a bad temper?

Moreover, Cao Long knew now that Ye Qiu didn’t even respect the Crown Prince’s Faction leaders, so what is the Ye Family to him?

After he directly hung up the call, when they called again, Cao Long no longer answered.

Ye Qiu ignored it as well and continued rowing forward.

He knew that the more anxious Ye Family became, the more serious Ye Feng’s condition would be.

He wouldn’t let Ye Feng die so quickly; at least he would let Ye Feng suffer and die slowly like Zhang Wei did back then.

He wanted the other party to know that the consequence of angering him is a fate worse than death.

Cao Ling and Liu Lingxiu naturally didn’t understand the situation here, but Cao Ling knew a bit—that Ye Qiu and the Cao Family must have some association.

Soon, it turned out Ye Qiu is Ye Zhengyu’s illegitimate child.

But now Ye Qiu wouldn’t admit it, and the Ye Family hadn’t seemed to discover the situation. On the contrary, that Ye Feng, the legitimate young master of Ye Family, was now in such a condition, actually needing to ask Ye Qiu for help.

"Cao Ling, have you noticed that these young masters from the Capital City have really bad temperaments?"

"A bit."

No need to say, Cao Ling knew this too, especially those playboys. Normally, how could they care about others’ lives?

Of course, those people’s family backgrounds, circles, everything is different. People born with a silver spoon, if they don’t commit any particularly big crimes in this world, they will have everything they want for their whole life. And if they achieve certain accomplishments in the military, political, or business fields through their ability, they would have it much easier than those from impoverished families who started from scratch.

Of course, in Cao Ling’s view, Ye Qiu is an exception.

Ye Qiu’s parents, Ye Weidong and his wife, were originally just an extremely ordinary small family, but now it seems like compared to those "sons of the Capital City", they are actually far inferior to Ye Qiu.

"So when such people die, they just die, no need to sorrow."

Cao Ling said nothing, Liu Lingxiu and the others didn’t know the situation either.

But one thing is certain: if Ye Qiu is unwilling to treat the patient, there must be a reason.

Rowing from Shidu, continuing until reaching Badu, it was already past three in the afternoon, a few kilometers away from Shidu.

And Cao Long said to the Ye Family that Ye Qiu had already taken a flight back to Jinling, but when the Ye Family checked and found there was no flight information for Ye Qiu, they naturally suspected that Cao Long hadn’t been truthful.

At this moment, even Cao Long’s father called to ask where exactly Ye Qiu was now.
