Chapter 156: Death Without Proof
Tong Yunshu's words resonated deeply with Yang Fei, who nodded and said, "According to my usual way of doing things, I indeed would preemptively eliminate dangers in the bud, but my wife has asked me to try not to be too harsh when handling affairs domestically, and to understand the importance of giving people chances."
After the incident on Yun Mountain, Qin Yanyang had indeed told him about this, asking him to be more tolerant in all matters, to not be too harsh, and to give others more opportunities.
Yang Fei knew that Qin Yanyang was concerned about him, so he had agreed to her and was making an effort to do so.
Tong Yunshu felt a bit annoyed, her bright eyes looking at Yang Fei as she asked, "Do you always listen to your wife like this?"
Yang Fei smiled and nodded, "Yes, listening to my wife keeps the marital relationship strong."
Tong Yunshu felt as if a needle had pricked her heart, displeased, not knowing why she felt unhappy whenever Yang Fei mentioned his wife.
Was it that beautiful women naturally repelled and were jealous of other beautiful women, or was there another reason?
"But don't worry, as friends, if you ever have any difficulties, just call me, and I will definitely not stand by idly," Yang Fei assured Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu felt somewhat relieved.
Just then, Yang Fei's phone rang.
Seeing it was Zhang Long calling, he answered the call in front of Tong Yunshu, and also wanted to ask Zhang Long to send the two people they'd captured yesterday to Tong Yunshu. My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR) hosts the original.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, we were careless, and we failed to handle the matter properly. Please punish us," Zhang Long's voice came through, filled with deep apology.
Yang Fei frowned, "What happened?"
"The assassin from the Shadow Organization and Sun Kangnian are dead," Zhang Long said somberly.
Yang Fei's expression changed slightly as he looked towards Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu, seeing his look, questioned, "What happened?"
Yang Fei explained the situation.
Tong Yunshu's face showed a hint of anger as she stamped her foot hard, "I didn't expect Tong Jianzhou to handle this situation so meticulously. Now that they are dead without proof, I can't complain to my family or hold him accountable."
Yang Fei silently nodded and asked over the phone, "How did they die?"
"They were killed. A thin silver needle was found on each of their necks, poisoned," Zhang Long answered. "Uncle Mao said, this must be the Shadow Organization's method."
A cold light flashed in Yang Fei's eyes, "Shadow!"
While he was overseas, he had heard of Shadow, knowing it was a powerful assassin organization. He had never crossed paths with them before, but now that he was back, he unexpectedly encountered them.
Last time in Yunshan, those two top experts from Shadow were clearly targeting Qin Yanyang; this time, Shadow was hired by Tong Jianzhou to target Tong Yunshu; neither time were they targeting him directly.
But Yang Fei had developed a strong dislike for Shadow.
"Keep the bodies for now, I will come back to take a look," Yang Fei said, hanging up the phone and said to Tong Yunshu, "I'm sorry, I..."
Tong Yunshu placed her finger on Yang Fei's lips.
This sudden intimate gesture stunned Yang Fei.
Feeling the soft and delicate finger on his lips, Yang Fei felt a tingling sensation, his whole person slightly dazed.
Tong Yunshu's face reddened, realizing her action was too intimate, but seeing Yang Fei in such a dazed state gave her a mischievous thrill of teasing a young man.
She giggled and said, "If it hadn't been for you yesterday, Yun Shu doesn't know how bad things could have been. Yun Shu is too grateful to you to allow you to say sorry."
Her voice was soft and pleasant to hear, making Yang Fei feel relaxed and clear, wanting only to remain intoxicated in this tender affection.
At that moment, a knock on the door sounded.
Yang Fei suddenly woke up, feeling a bit awkward as he said, "I... I'll go open the door."
Having said that, he turned around and scurried away.
Seeing his expression, Tong Yunshu couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
Despite being a formidable Martial Artist, he was so honest and straightforward, which was truly adorable.
Thinking about last night's events, she unconsciously bit her red lip, watching Yang Fei's retreating figure. Although he wasn't particularly tall or imposing, he made her feel incredibly safe.
Not knowing why, Tong Yunshu's face turned red.
Yang Fei opened the door and was momentarily stunned by the person standing outside.
"Ahem, Dr. Yang is here too."
Upon hearing his elder brother's orders last night, Zhu Chengpeng knew his niece was in trouble, so he drove overnight from Jiangbei to Binhai.
Having arrived at the hotel Tong Yunshu mentioned, he knocked on the door expecting his niece to answer, but when he saw Yang Fei, he was a bit taken aback.
However, Zhu Chengpeng quickly regained his composure and greeted Yang Fei proactively.
The last time Yang Fei was at the Zhu Family's residence to treat Zhu Tianshou, although unsuccessful, he instantly diagnosed Zhu Chengpeng's health issue, which greatly impressed him.
Furthermore, Zhu Chengpeng's wife had been urging him to seek treatment from Yang Fei in Binhai, so deep down, Zhu Chengpeng had a certain respect for Yang Fei, as he was the one in need.
However, seeing Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu sharing a hotel room still surprised him, and he pointed at Yang Fei and asked Tong Yunshu, "Yunshu, what is your relationship with Dr. Yang?"
Tong Yunshu's face was still a bit red, but she quickly explained, "Thanks to Mr. Yang's help yesterday, I was safe. He protected me all night."
Zhu Chengpeng, being straightforward, didn't think much of it and said while shaking Yang Fei's hand, "Dr. Yang, thank you for the trouble."
Seeing his change of attitude towards him this time, Yang Fei realized he probably wanted his help with health issues, and with a smile, he said, "Miss Tong has been kind to me, and protecting her was only right. Since you are here, I can leave."
Once Tong Yunshu saw her uncle arrive and Yang Fei was actually leaving, she couldn't help but pout, her gaze carrying a trace of grief.
Zhu Chengpeng, a straightforward man, was oblivious to his niece's feminine emotions. Seeing Yang Fei about to leave and needing his help, he said without mentioning their earlier conversation in front of his niece, "Then, let me walk you out."
Outside, while waiting for the elevator with no one around, Zhu Chengpeng, rubbing his hands together and his face turning the color of liver, murmured, "Well... uh, Divine Doctor Yang, last time you identified my issue, and my wife says you can cure me. I wonder if it's convenient for you this time? Don't worry, once it works, I'll make sure to repay you generously, and you won't have worked for nothing."
Yang Fei, seeing his straightforward nature, and any unpleasantness from last time at the Zhu's disappearing like smoke, nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll prepare the medicine later; you just take it as prescribed, and you should see effects in no more than three days."
Zhu Chengpeng's eyes brightened, "That quickly?" He then cautiously asked, "If the effects come too quickly, could there be any side effects?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "Don't worry, anyone I've treated, as long as they don't mess it up, will maintain their stamina, and you, being an Energy Transformation Realm expert, as long as your cultivation breath does not wane, could remain vigorous well into your eighties."
Zhu Chengpeng, having a man's typical interests, hearing that he could remain vigorous even into his eighties, his eyes glinted with an intense glow. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, here is a card prepared by my wife with one million in it for you to use, and the pin is the last six digits of the card number. Once it's effective, I'll add more."
Yang Fei looked at the card in his hand, momentarily stunned.
Is making money really this easy?
He then came to terms with it.
Zhu Chengpeng wasn't short of money, and for him, being able to remain imposing was the happiest thing; a million in exchange for vigor and endurance was truly not much for the wealthy.
With that thought, Yang Fei unhesitatingly accepted the card, saying, "Come find me at Li Xuantong Medical Hall to collect your medicine later."
"Alright, Dr. Yang, have a good trip, I'll look for you later," Zhu Chengpeng said enthusiastically as he saw Yang Fei into the elevator.
