NOVEL NEXT Chapter 69: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
Wrong?
Tan Long heard what Fang Cunshan said and was very puzzled. What did he mean by that?
Could it be that Wang Ye was able to deal with He Lei?
In Tan Long's view, this was absolutely impossible. After all, with Wang Ye's current status, he really didn't have any advantage.
Even with Xia Qingxin backing him, he might not necessarily be a match for He Lei. After all, the He Family had very deep roots in Yun City.
"Old Mr. Fang, could you be mistaken? Can Wang Ye really deal with He Lei?" Tan Long asked doubtfully.
"If Wang Ye can't even handle a He Lei, then I wouldn't bother cooperating with him!" Fang Cunshan replied with great confidence.
Although Fang Cunshan had recently recovered from a serious illness, Tan Long knew that Fang Cunshan had always been a shrewd person. His judgment of people was absolutely reliable. If he believed Wang Ye could deal with He Lei, then Wang Ye surely had the capability.
Perhaps, Fang Cunshan knew something that he himself did not. That's why he could make such a conclusion.
"Old Mr. Fang, since you say so, I believe you."
Even if Tan Long didn't believe Fang Cunshan's words, he couldn't refute them now. In the current situation, everything was up to Fang Cunshan, since he was the one who truly had the power.
"Mm, go back and tell Wang Ye to meet me at the Fang Family at nine o'clock tomorrow morning," said Fang Cunshan before turning around and leaving directly.
"Of course, Old Mr. Fang, I'll make sure to pass on the message," promised Tan Long, and then he left the Fang Family.
At this moment, in the Peerless Medical Hall, Wang Ye had just lain down.
Right now, he was sorting through the events that had taken place in his mind.
He knew that He Lei's offer to collaborate came with dangerous intentions. Having refused to cooperate this time, He Lei would certainly look for other ways to deal with him. Therefore, he had to be cautious.
As for Patriarch Fang, he claimed to know about the matters concerning the Wang family from years ago. However, Wang Ye couldn't be sure if he really knew anything or if he was just bluffing.
When it came to Su Wanqing, Wang Ye was even more unsure if he could get any information. According to his master, he would definitely get answers after marrying Su Wanqing. But Wang Ye didn't understand how he would come to know those messages when the time came.
After all, being married or not didn't really make much of a difference. Wang Ye didn't think that the memories of his childhood would become clearer after marriage.
After going over everything, Wang Ye didn't come to any good conclusions. Just as he was about to go to sleep, his phone rang. It was Tan Long.
"Mr. Tan? It's so late, is there something you need?"
"Doctor Wang, I just went to see Patriarch Fang! He asked me to tell you to meet him at the Fang Family at nine o'clock tomorrow morning," Tan Long said directly.
To meet Fang Cunshan?
Wang Ye knew he would have to meet with Fang Cunshan after agreeing to work with him.
But the choice of the Fang Family as the meeting place made Wang Ye feel that things were not simple. Fang Cunshan must be thinking of something else.
After contemplating for a while, Wang Ye still chose to agree.
"Alright, I will be there on time."
"Mm, then that's settled. Doctor Wang, from now on you have to be very careful! He Lei will definitely make a move against you. With my abilities, I can't fully guarantee your safety. And about Patriarch Fang, he seems not ready to help you all out," Tan Long said seriously.
After listening, Wang Ye smiled faintly, "Mr. Tan, I can handle this on my own, you needn't worry too much."
"It's best if you can handle it yourself! But if there's any problem, you can always come to me, I'll do my utmost to help you."
"I understand! Let's do that."
...
The next morning, Wang Ye arrived at the Fang Family's residence at the agreed-upon time.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance to the Fang residence, he encountered Fang Junxiang.
Upon seeing Wang Ye, Fang Junxiang's mouth twisted in disdain.
His gaze held considerable resentment towards Wang Ye.
"What are you doing at our Fang Family's place again?" Fang Junxiang asked coldly.
Wang Ye knew that Fang Junxiang harbored grudges against him, so he wasn't angered by this attitude.
He calmly responded, "I was invited over by Old Mr. Fang!"
"Patriarch Fang? Hmph, Wang Ye, don't think you're something special just because you saved the old man once! I'm telling you, you're nothing but a stinking Taoist. Dreaming of the impossible, like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh, being with Fang Feifei—it's just a fantasy!"
In Fang Junxiang's view, it wasn't possible that Fang Cunshan personally invited Wang Ye; he must have come on his own accord.
As for the purpose of his visit, it must certainly be to get close to Fang Feifei. Marrying into the Fang Family would undoubtedly be better than marrying into the Su family.
After all, the Su family's power was only about one percent of the Fang Family's. And Fang Feifei was more beautiful and more elegant than Su Wanqing.
Any person with normal intelligence would definitely choose Fang Feifei.
"Mr. Fang, you might be mistaken! I have no designs on Miss Fang. And, it would be best if you watched your own behavior," Wang Ye said with a slight smile.
Wang Ye had long suspected that Patriarch Fang's illness might be related to Fang Junxiang. But Fang Junxiang's behavior and subsequent events all proved that he had ulterior motives.
"Oh, boy, now you're starting to lecture me? You really think you're..."
Fang Junxiang hadn't finished speaking when Steward Liu came out.
"Doctor Wang, you've arrived! Come in, come in, the old master has been waiting for you!" Steward Liu warmly called out to Wang Ye.
Seeing this, Fang Junxiang scoffed, "Steward Liu, did you not see me?"
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu quickly replied, "Great master, what are you saying? Of course, I saw you!"
"Since you saw me, don't you know I was speaking to this youngster? Why interrupt me?" Fang Junxiang questioned.
But Steward Liu didn't back down and firmly said, "Great master, Doctor Wang is the person the old master has been waiting for, and so..."
The implication of Steward Liu's words was clear: what did Fang Junxiang count for? Compared to the old master, he held no status.
"Heh, using the old man to suppress me? Just you watch, Steward Liu!" Fang Junxiang said sarcastically, then left.
Wang Ye paid him no mind and turned to Steward Liu, "Steward Liu, let's go see Old Mr. Fang now!"
"Certainly, Doctor Wang, right this way, please."
As Steward Liu led Wang Ye inside, he couldn't help asking, "By the way, Doctor Wang, what did the great master say to you just now?"
"It's nothing, just some casual greetings," Wang Ye didn't intend to tell Steward Liu.
"As long as it's nothing serious! Anyway, Doctor Wang, you don't need to pay him any mind. The old master is here for everything. You don't have anything to worry about," Steward Liu reassured.
