Medical and Martial God

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Born Fate

Ye Xiu actually quite admired Nie Feng. The man came from a poor family but had managed to build a fortune worth tens of billions all by himself.

Moreover, he was low-key, generous, and had an excellent reputation. It was just a shame he’d fathered a son who was rotten to the core.

”Divine Doctor Ye, I know my son is a bastard, scum, and has done all sorts of wicked deeds. It’s all my fault. In the early years, I was so busy starting my business that I neglected to discipline him. I wasn’t a competent father, and now I deeply regret building this foundation for him, which gave him the capital to squander and commit wrongdoing. I’ll give you the Nie Family’s entire fortune—I’ll even give you my life. Just please, save him.”

Nie Feng didn’t get up. He remained on his knees, pleading with Ye Xiu as tears and snot streamed down his face. The sight of him sobbing uncontrollably, his voice choked with remorse, truly moved Ye Xiu.

Nevertheless, when it came to that bastard Nie Yunfei, he still had no desire to save him.

”Mr. Nie, please stand up,” Ye Xiu said, bending down to help Nie Feng up.

”If Divine Doctor Ye doesn’t agree to save my son, I will kneel here until I die,” Nie Feng refused to get up no matter what.

Ye Xiu’s head started to ache. Nie Feng was a good man, a good entrepreneur, and a great philanthropist. He really didn’t want to make things difficult for him. But...

”Mr. Nie, I have a proposal, if you’d like to hear it?” At that moment, Qin Qing walked over and spoke.

”Please, tell me,” Nie Feng said eagerly, wiping away his tears.

”Nie Yunfei has done too many deeds devoid of all humanity. Ye Xiu has neither the right nor the authority to forgive him,” Qin Qing said calmly. ”How about this: first, Nie Yunfei must go to prison and face the judgment of the law. He cannot be released unless he truly reforms himself. Second, he must find everyone he has bullied and wronged, give them appropriate compensation, and obtain their forgiveness.

”As long as Nie Yunfei can do these two things, Ye Xiu can save him.”

Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up when he heard Qin Qing’s suggestion. The idea was fantastic.

”Divine Doctor Ye, is that possible?” Nie Feng looked at Ye Xiu, worried that Qin Qing didn’t have the authority to make such a promise.

”Yes!” Ye Xiu nodded. ”However, I will send someone to follow Nie Yunfei. If he tries to obtain forgiveness from the people he has wronged through threats, bribery, or intimidation, not only will I not save him, but I will kill him with my own hands.”

”Rest assured, Divine Doctor Ye. I will accompany my son to apologize to those people. I’ll give them whatever compensation they ask for. And, thank you so much! I... I’ll kowtow to you...”

Nie Feng truly didn’t know how else to express his gratitude, so he began to kowtow again, his forehead hitting the floor with heavy thuds.

”Please, get up.” Ye Xiu helped Nie Feng to his feet and said, ”After he has received forgiveness from everyone, take Nie Yunfei to the Ghost Doctor; he can cure his condition. Also, I will make the arrangements with the prison. I believe that on the day he is released, you will have a truly good son.”

”Thank you, thank you...” Nie Feng was at a loss for words.

”I really envy Nie Yunfei for having a father like you. Now, you should go home,” Ye Xiu said with a sigh.

”Yes, yes. Well, I won’t disturb you any longer. Please, don’t see me out...” Overwhelmed with emotion and speaking incoherently, Nie Feng left, glancing back repeatedly.

At this point, Qin Qing asked Ye Xiu, ”Do you think Nie Yunfei can reform himself?”

”It would be for the best if he can. If not, he can rot in prison for the rest of his life,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

This was the real reason he had accepted Qin Qing’s suggestion. That bastard Nie Yunfei deserved to die, but killing someone was never the best form of punishment.

”Oh dear, with Nie Feng’s interruption, the food must be getting cold.” Qin Qing suddenly remembered the meal she had prepared and urged, ”What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat.”

Ye Xiu looked at the food on the table as if it were a spread of poison. How could I possibly eat this? Seeing the expectant look on Qin Qing’s face, Ye Xiu gritted his teeth. Damn it, here goes nothing.

Just as he was about to start eating, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Mo Luo. ”Young Master, there’s a small situation with the Ming Family.”

”What do you mean?” Ye Xiu asked.

Mo Luo replied, ”You’d better go and see for yourself. Their situation is not what you expected.”

This piqued Ye Xiu’s curiosity. The Ming Family had nothing now, and everyone in the country recognized them. Logically, their current predicament should be similar to what he had experienced ten years ago. They should be pariahs, like rats scurrying across the street for everyone to curse and beat. They should have no food, no water, and no place to live. Even with money, they shouldn’t be able to buy anything. Could it be that their life wasn’t like that at all?

”Change your clothes. I’ll take you out,” Ye Xiu said to Qin Qing.

”Alright!” Hearing they were going out, Qin Qing zipped upstairs to change.

「...」

Summer is the season for barbecue and cold beer. Barbecue joints often set up tables out on the street to accommodate more customers.

”Eat up, everyone! Drink up! We’re not going home until we’re all drunk tonight!”

Right now, outside the Big Nineteen Barbecue Shop, the Ming and Li families were feasting and drinking boisterously. The shop had no other customers. It wasn’t that there were none, but that Ming Yue and her gang had driven them all away.

”Ming Yue, if we act so recklessly, won’t we provoke Ye Xiu?” Li Bingliang asked heartily after clinking glasses with Ming Yue and downing his drink in one gulp.

”Afraid of him? What a joke,” Ming Yue said with a thuggish air. ”I’ve figured it out. Ye Xiu never intended to kill us, nor did he plan to send us to the City of Asura to work in the mines. He just wanted us to be scorned by everyone, just like he was ten years ago, unable to eat or drink, living a life worse than pigs and dogs. Unfortunately for him, he calculated everything but miscalculated one thing: he was alone ten years ago, but we are a group.”

Ye Xiu had indeed miscalculated.

After being thrown out of the Patrol Bureau Office for trying to turn themselves in, the Ming Family members had been in a full-blown panic. On one hand, they were waiting for Ye Xiu to come and kill them; on the other, they faced public scorn with no money and nowhere to live.

However, Ming Yue’s way of thinking was highly unconventional. Once she understood Ye Xiu’s intentions, she led the Ming Family to the homes of the other masterminds in Jin Ye City. They demanded a pile of cash, found the members of the Li Family, and bought a knife for each person.

Armed with knives, the two families rampaged through the streets. Many people who recognized them planned to curse and beat them to vent their anger on Ye Xiu’s behalf, but they were driven off by the gang led by Ming Yue. Moreover, even with money, this group refused to pay for their meals, dining and dashing with their knives out. People did try to report them, but the problem was that the Patrol Officers wouldn’t get involved. The Ming and Li families had become a special kind of thug that the Patrol Officers dared not arrest.

”Ye Xiu is an idiot. He thought that by leaving us with nothing and tarnishing our reputation, we would lead miserable lives. Little did he know, our lives aren’t any worse than before,” Ming Hao said, laughing.

”A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. We were born to eat meat!” Ming Shixiong yelled with heroic bravado, holding up a bottle of liquor. ”Eat your fill! Drink your fill! Once we’re done, we’re going to stay at the Bulgari Hotel tonight!”
