NOVEL NEXT Chapter 67: You Overestimate Yourself
After hearing Wang Ye's words, He Lei and Yang Junsheng were both momentarily stunned. Wang Ye was actually well aware of what happened at the Medicine Conference?
Could it be that he already knew that the "testing the poison with his own body" at the Medicine Conference was intended to take his life?
After exchanging glances, He Lei and Yang Junsheng composed themselves. In his view, Wang Ye's words might not necessarily be true. Perhaps, he was just trying to bluff?
"Wang Ye, do you think I would so easily fall for your trick? Ha, you're far too naive!" He Lei said disdainfully.
Wang Ye did not directly debunk it but calmly continued, "You know exactly what's going on, no need for me to elaborate further."
Tan Long, who was standing by, began to ponder upon hearing this.
During the Medicine Conference, Chen Li had mentioned that Mr. Lu was no simple figure. Now that Wang Ye was saying this, it showed that the events at the Medicine Conference were very likely indeed a conspiracy.
"Enough, Wang Ye, I don't want to waste words with you! I just have one question, do you want to cooperate or not?" He Lei stared intently at Wang Ye.
"I've already given my answer, I will not cooperate with you!" Wang Ye did not hesitate at all.
"Fine, you are choosing your own death! Wang Ye, don't think that just because Fang Feifei supports you, you are invulnerable! Let me tell you, you're not qualified to play games with me!" He Lei's face turned sinister.
Seeing this, Tan Long couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. He was not very clear about He Lei's capabilities, but he had heard that He Lei was no simple character. In the He family, He Lei was the most likely to become the successor.
Moreover, Tan Long had heard that He Lei was ruthless and brutal. He had originally gone overseas to lay low because of some incidents he was involved in.
Therefore, if He Lei was truly determined to target Wang Ye, then Wang Ye was indeed in danger. After all, Fang Feifei would not fully protect Wang Ye.
"He Lei, if you're going to put it that way, then let me tell you something!" Wang Ye looked calmly at He Lei.
"What is it?" He Lei asked, squinting his eyes.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Although Wang Ye did not know exactly how capable He Lei was, to Wang Ye, He Lei was not a threat at all.
But from his actions and his capability in handling matters, Wang Ye could ascertain that He Lei was not an expert.
He lacked sufficient cunning and foresight. What he had were merely some prerequisites brought by his status.
Without the background of the He family, he wouldn't even compare to Tan Long.
"I overestimate myself?" He Lei scoffed coldly, "The one who overestimates himself is you!"
"You're right, the one who overestimates himself is you, Wang Ye!" Yang Junsheng added, "Wang Ye, you will soon taste the consequences of your arrogance!"
"Is that so? Then prove your words!" Wang Ye remained calm.
Tan Long, seeing Wang Ye's composure, felt some admiration. Despite his young age, Wang Ye was not only an exceptional doctor but also had remarkable abilities in appraising treasures. Even in dealing with situations, he was so composed.
It seemed that Wang Ye would definitely be a significant figure in the future.
With this thought, Tan Long made up his mind, from now on he would follow Wang Ye.
So he stood up and said to He Lei, "Did you hear what Doctor Wang said? He clearly told you to wait and see!"
"Very well, then we shall wait and see! Let's go!" He Lei stood up, his sleeves flapping as he left.
Seeing them leave, Tan Long finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Had they truly started a fight just now, Tan Long was not confident in himself.
After all, this place was indeed He Lei's turf, and the owner of this Entertainment City was very close to He Lei.
So, He Lei's men were bound to arrive faster and in greater numbers.
Fortunately, in the end, things turned out not too bad, as He Lei didn't take direct action.
However, compared to Tan Long, who visibly sighed in relief, Wang Ye remained utterly calm. From beginning to end, he showed no sign of nervousness.
"Doctor Wang, tonight was quite risky!" Tan Long sighed slightly.
"Really? I'm sorry to have made you nervous, Mr. Tan." Wang Ye said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Tan Long hurriedly waved his hands, "Ah, where does that come from, Doctor Wang? I should be the one apologizing! It's my fault for not being strong enough; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."
"Mr. Tan, you don't need to blame yourself. I have my own way of dealing with this! That's it for tonight; I'll be leaving now." Wang Ye glanced at the time; it was already late.
By this time, his second senior sister, Chen Li, might have already returned to the medical hall.
If she discovered that he had gone out so late at night, it wouldn't be good. If she told his senior – well, he'd be in for a lecture from her.
"Okay, I'll take you back myself."
"No need; I can go back on my own." Wang Ye flatly refused.
Tan Long did not insist further, as he still had other matters to attend to.
...
Meanwhile, after leaving the private room where Tan Long and Wang Ye were, He Lei's group did not leave Entertainment City but moved to another one to continue their discussion.
"Young Master He, why didn't you just take action? We had dozens of men outside the door; we could have completely taken down Wang Ye," Zhou Tianhao said excitedly.
Having been kicked out earlier, he had been harboring resentment.
"Shut up, will you die if you talk less?" Yang Junsheng scolded directly.
He knew that He Lei was in a bad mood, and if Zhou Tianhao continued like this, angering He Lei would make things difficult.
"Cousin, I'm just stating facts! We could have taken action directly." Zhou Tianhao muttered under his breath, unconvinced.
He Lei, however, was staring at a spot on the wall, deeply engrossed in thought, ignoring both Zhou Tianhao and Yang Junsheng.
After a while, another person entered the private room—it was Mr. Lu.
Upon seeing Mr. Lu, He Lei immediately asked, "How did it go? Did you find out?"
Mr. Lu shook his head and walked toward He Lei with his head hung low.
"No, Young Master He, I couldn't find any background information on that guy!"
"Useless! You can't even investigate a simple Taoist—what are you good for!" He Lei cursed angrily.
"Young Master He, that guy came down from the mountain! I heard his master is named Wang Yifeng; I tried to look into it, but there's absolutely no information on Wang Yifeng. Also, you mentioned he might be related to the Wang family from eighteen years ago, but those events are too far back, and I couldn't find anything!" Mr. Lu explained.
"So, what did you find out then?"
"I found out that Wang Ye has a senior sister named Xia Qingxin! And a second senior sister named Chen Li. They are both in Yun City."
Upon hearing this, Yang Junsheng sneered, "Mr. Lu, we knew this already!"
"This... it's my incompetence, I didn't find out anything!" Mr. Lu had no response.
