Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 A Clue

At seven in the evening, in front of the Peerless Medical Hall, Tang Long indeed came looking for Wang Ye.

"Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang, where are you? Are you ready? It's time to leave."

Hearing Tang Long's call, Wang Ye and Chen Li went downstairs together.

After seeing Tang Long, Wang Ye spoke in a serious tone, "Mr. Tan, I am sorry, but I cannot attend to Patriarch Fang's illness."

"Ah?" Tang Long, startled by Wang Ye's words, asked, "Why, Doctor Wang? Didn't you agree to treat Patriarch Fang's illness?"

"That was my mistake. I've just come down from the mountain and don't understand many things," Wang Ye explained.

Chen Li immediately added, "Mr. Tan, you should be well aware of the internal affairs of the Fang Family, so you know it's very dangerous for me to take my Junior Fellow Disciple to treat Patriarch Fang."

After hearing this, Tang Long understood what was going on.

After thinking for a bit, he continued, "So I mentioned this was a business. Naturally, business comes with risks. The greater the risks, the greater the rewards."

"I understand, but we do not wish to take that risk. Mr. Tan, I'm sorry, you should find someone else!" Chen Li refused on behalf of Wang Ye.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it! However, I still have something to say," Tang Long stated with a serious expression.

Chen Li tensed, suddenly feeling that Tang Long might threaten Wang Ye. After all, Tang Long was a dangerous character in Yun City.

"Please speak, Mr. Tan." Wang Ye was quite composed.

"Doctor Wang is a disciple of Immortal King Wang Yifeng, isn't that right? Back then, Mr. Wang Yifeng had a close relationship with Patriarch Fang. It is said that the Fang Family and the Wang family were also very close over twenty years ago," Tang Long spoke meaningfully.

It seemed he knew that Wang Ye was from the Wang family back then.

But he wasn't sure, so he decided to test Wang Ye this way.

Indeed, Wang Ye's expression changed dramatically after hearing this, and he immediately became alert.

The Fang Family and the Wang family were very close. Perhaps the Fang Family knew some insider details about the Wang family.

The most important thing for Wang Ye during this trip down the mountain was to investigate his own origin. If he could get some clues from the Fang Family, then the risk might be worth taking.

"I'll go with you to the Fang Family," Wang Ye immediately changed his mind.

"Junior Fellow Disciple, you..." Chen Li looked at Wang Ye with concern.

Chen Li also understood what Tang Long meant, but precisely because of this, she felt the matter was very risky.

It looked like all of this might be a huge conspiracy.

"Senior Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Wang Ye said earnestly to Chen Li.

Seeing Wang Ye so determined, Chen Li could only nod, "Alright, just be careful."

Seeing Wang Ye agree, a smile appeared on Tang Long's face, "Miss Chen, don't worry, I will take good care of Doctor Wang!"

Chen Li gave Tang Long a look, unsure whether to trust him. Tang Long was not known to be a good man in other people's mouths. But now, it seemed he wasn't exactly a bad man either. Yet, it was precisely such people who were the most terrifying.

"I hope so! Tang Long, take good care of Wang Ye, otherwise I won't let you off!" Chen Li said firmly.

Tang Long was nonchalant, simply stating, "Don't worry."

After preparing a medicine kit, Wang Ye left the house and got into Tang Long's Rolls-Royce, heading for the Fang Family.

In the car, Tang Long started with a smile, "Doctor Wang, I had no choice but to say those things earlier. I hope you understand."

Wang Ye wasn't actually angry about the earlier situation. On the contrary, he was more eager to find out what else Tang Long knew.

So, Wang Ye asked, "Mr. Tan, how much do you know about the Wang family's affairs?"

Tan Long, upon hearing this, shook his head and said, "This, I can't really say. Doctor Wang, after we finish with the Fang Family's matter, we can discuss it in detail, how about that?"

Seeing that Tan Long was unwilling to speak, Wang Ye had no choice.

However, this matter added many doubts to Wang Ye's heart. The affairs of the Wang family back then seemed extremely complicated.

Half an hour later, Wang Ye and Tan Long finally arrived at the entrance of the Fang Family.

As soon as the two stepped out of the car, a security guard from the Fang Family came over.

"Who are you? What are you doing at the Fang Family?"

The security guard straightforwardly asked, seemingly unimpressed by Tan Long.

Even though Tan Long had arrived in a Rolls-Royce, he did not give him a second glance.

After all, the Fang Family's status in Yun City was extraordinary.

"I am Tan Long, and I brought the Divine Doctor to treat Old Master Fang!" Tan Long replied.

"Tan Long?"

The security guard looked Tan Long up and down, then said, "I heard you've been paralyzed for a long time, how come you can suddenly stand up now?"

"Yes, I've been paralyzed for a long time. It was all thanks to this Doctor Wang, so I am as lively as a dragon now! And as soon as I got this divine doctor, I immediately thought of Patriarch Fang," Tan Long explained with a smile.

"Oh? That impressive? Where is this divine doctor you speak of?" The security guard looked around, thinking the divine doctor was still in the car.

But in the car, there was only the driver.

"This is him!" Tan Long pointed to Wang Ye standing beside him.

The security guard glanced at Wang Ye with disdain, "Him? Tan Long, are you joking? How can this young lad know medical skills?"

"Hey, don't underestimate Doctor Wang. He is indeed a master of medicine, a reincarnation of Hua Tuo! He used acupuncture to cure my paralysis in just a few minutes."

The security guard remained skeptical, speaking disparagingly, "Really that impressive? Doesn't look like it! But since you've always been concerned about our master's illness, I will go and report your arrival. You wait here!"

Report?

Tan Long felt somewhat annoyed upon hearing these two words.

Meeting Patriarch Fang seemed as formal as meeting some ancient official, requiring a report.

But considering the Fang Family's status, Tan Long could only endure.

After the security guard left, Tan Long comforted Wang Ye, "Doctor Wang, don't mind, that's just how the Fang Family is, they didn't mean to slight you."

At this moment, Wang Ye was preoccupied with his own origins, completely unconcerned about being slighted or not.

"It's fine, waiting a bit won't hurt," Wang Ye replied nonchalantly.

"Glad you don't mind."

The two stood at the entrance for five or six minutes before the security guard came back out.

Behind him followed a man in his sixties.

The elderly man had white whiskers and wore a traditional Chinese garment, his demeanor somewhat imposing.

"Steward Liu, this is the divine doctor," the security guard said, bowing to the elderly man.

The elderly man nodded slightly and walked toward Wang Ye.

Then he spoke in a commanding tone, "So you are the so-called Doctor Wang?"
