The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 232 There is Still Hope

Just as the high-level officials of Huaxia Country were about to make trouble for Ye Chenfeng, the lights in the emergency room went off, and an elderly male doctor wearing a white coat walked out.

This elderly doctor was named Duan Nan and was the chief physician of the Capital Military Region Hospital. His medical skills were exceptionally high, and it was usually difficult for him to enter the operating room. This time it was because Ye Zhenhong had phoned him that Duan Nan personally took action to save Wu Anguo.

Ye Zhenhong and Duan Nan had been old friends for many years. Back when Ye Zhenhong feigned illness in the military hospital, it was with Duan Nan’s cooperation that they pulled it off!

"Old Nan, how is Anguo’s condition exactly?" Seeing Duan Nan walk out of the emergency room, Ye Zhenhong hurriedly asked.

Those Huaxia Country high-level officials who had been planning to give Ye Chenfeng trouble also quieted down for a moment, and their gazes concentrated on Duan Nan.

Duan Nan undid the white mask covering his mouth and, after a sigh, said, "Zhenhong, I’ve done my best. Wu Anguo’s blood vessel in the heart has burst, and I’m afraid it has already been two days’ time. Had he been brought to the hospital when the rupture was smaller, I might have had a way to keep him alive. But now, his heart function is gradually necrotizing, and even with our hospital’s resuscitation efforts, he could only live for another day or two at most."

Duan Nan’s words struck like a bolt from the blue, causing the direct descendants of the Wus to stand rooted to the spot, their minds going blank in an instant. How could the once healthy Elder Wu have become like this in just a few hours? How could Wu Zhifang, Wu Kunming, and Wu Xiaofei accept this?

Wu Xiaofei’s tears spilled over completely, and she stammered, "No, no, it’s not possible. Grandfather won’t be in any trouble, he definitely won’t."

Upon hearing this news, some of the Huaxia Country’s high-ranking officials felt rejoiced, others regretful. They no longer had the mind to reproach Ye Chenfeng for his earlier disrespect. After greeting the Wus, they left one after another, as it was inconvenient for them to stay and delay Wu Zhifang, Wu Kunming, and Wu Xiaofei, who needed to accompany Elder Wu during his last moments.

After the high-ranking officials of Huaxia Country left, the collateral members of the Wus spoke up, "It looks like our Wu family’s marriage alliance with the Yes will have to be called off. Today Xiaofei and Chenfeng just had their engagement ceremony, and then this happened to Anguo. I’m afraid Chenfeng is not suitable to be Anguo’s son-in-law."

The speaker was an elderly man past his sixties, named Wu Anfeng.

Wu Anguo had two brothers, Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu. Upon hearing that Wu Anguo’s life was about to end, these two elderly members from the collateral lines of the Wu family couldn’t wait to seize control of the Wu family.

"Right, what Anfeng said is correct. We were opposed to Chenfeng and Xiaofei’s marriage from the start, and look what has happened now," Wu Anfu quickly agreed.

Upon hearing about Wu Anguo’s condition, Wu Zhifang and Wu Kunming were already in sorrow. Who could have expected that these collateral relatives would kick them while they were down?

As a military man with a straightforward temperament, Wu Kunming immediately barked, "Uncle, Second Uncle, since when did you start believing in superstitions? My dad’s illness has absolutely nothing to do with Chenfeng and Xiaofei’s engagement."

Wu Anfeng frowned and assertively shouted, "Kunming, watch your tone. We are your elders. Is this how you speak to your elders? If Anguo really passes this time, the Wu family will be led by us in the future, and if you guys want to remain in the Wu family, you’ll have to listen to us."

"Kunming, your uncle is right. You don’t speak to your elders like that. You should immediately apologize to your uncle," Wu Anfu also chastised Wu Kunming.

The intentions of these collateral members of the Wu family were more than clear, angering not just Wu Kunming but also Wu Zhifang, Wu Xiaofei, Wu Jie, and the members of the Ye family.

"Chenfeng’s and Xiaofei’s wedding was decided by me and Anguo. You do not have the right to interfere," Ye Zhenhong said, no longer having the patience to argue with these people, as his mind was entirely focused on Wu Anguo.

"You can’t say that. If An Guo really has an accident this time, then we’ll be the ones calling the shots for the Wus from now on. We won’t agree to the marriage between Ye Chenfeng and Xiaofei," Wu Anfeng said bluntly.

Wu Zhifang, who had remained silent up till now, finally couldn’t help but speak up, "Uncle, second uncle, my dad’s not gone yet! And you’re so eager to take control of the Wus? The marriage between Chenfeng and Xiaofei was decided by my dad. Regardless of whether you agree or not, no one can stop their marriage."

With red-rimmed eyes, Wu Jie, who had long found the Wus’ collateral family members distasteful, shouted, "Brother Chenfeng is my brother-in-law, and in my lifetime, I’ll only acknowledge him as my brother-in-law."

Ye Chenfeng, who was holding a sobbing Xiaofei, swept his gaze toward Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu, and with an icy voice he said, "You have one minute to disappear from my sight, otherwise don’t blame me for getting physical."

Under the icy stare of Ye Chenfeng, Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu suddenly felt a chilling sensation in their hearts, but with Wu Anguo being basically declared dead, they were about to take control of the Wus. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing more than a fool, renowned throughout the Capital for his stupidity.

"Ye Chenfeng, the one that has to disappear is you. We won’t recognize your marriage to Xiaofei, so please leave immediately," Wu Anfeng said unabashedly.

"Ye Chenfeng, you have no relationship with our family anymore. There’s no need for you to stay here, and please let go of Xiaofei immediately. Today’s engagement ceremony won’t count," Wu Anfu stated coldly.

"Slap, slap—"

In response to Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu were two extremely forceful slaps. The speed at which Ye Chenfeng’s level seven Soul Force acted was not something ordinary people could catch, and Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu only saw a blur before feeling a burning pain on their cheeks.

"You... you... you actually dare to hit us?" Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu said with severe fluctuations in their chests.

"I’ll say it one last time, disappear from my sight immediately, or next time it won’t just be a slap," the pressure of Ye Chenfeng’s level seven Soul Force spread toward Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu.

This made Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu feel like their chests were being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone, leaving them gasping for air, beads of sweat the size of soybeans emerging on their foreheads. A sense of inexplicable fear toward Ye Chenfeng took hold within them, and through gritted teeth, they warned Ye Chenfeng, "We’ll see about that."

After uttering these words, Wu Anfeng and Wu Anfu left. The collateral members of the Yes also sulkily departed, knowing full well that Ye Chenfeng would not spare them a second glance so it was better to leave of their own volition.

Once the collateral members of the Wus and the Yes had left, the corridor outside the emergency room became quiet. Xiaofei, still leaning on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder, continued to cry non-stop.

The director of the military hospital, Duan Nan, shook his head helplessly and said, "I will arrange for Wu Anguo to be transferred to the VIP ward. You all should just stay with him for the next few days."

Ye Chenfeng helped Xiaofei to her feet, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his hand, and said, "Sister Xiaofei, please don’t cry. Grandfather Wu can still be saved. I promise he will live a safe and long life."

Upon hearing this, Xiaofei really stopped crying, and with her teary eyes, she looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Chenfeng, can grandfather really be saved?"

Ye Chenfeng nodded solemnly. Wu Old Master’s current condition was merely a ruptured blood vessel in the heart and gradual necrosis of the heart itself. With Acupuncture and Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng was confident he could completely repair the ruptured vessels and restore function to the dying heart.

However, the people of the Ye and Wu families did not yet know about Ye Chenfeng’s superb medical skills! They stared at Ye Chenfeng and, after a moment, sighed. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was merely comforting Xiaofei, for how could he, someone who knew nothing of medical skills, possibly save Old Master Wu when even the military hospital had declared there was no hope?
