I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

As Zheng Qiuyi pondered this, she quickly shook her head.

Am I out of my mind? How could I waver and think that such a shameless request is acceptable?

Meanwhile, Liang Shaohui was still trying to persuade Sun Shizheng.

Sun Shizheng had no idea what Qin Ge was planning to do. The medicine wasn't his own, so how could he make the decision?

He could only give vague and perfunctory answers to Liang Shaohui, and finally, tired of talking, he simply said that he would wait for Qin Ge to come back.

Liang Shaohui's cerebellum is about to atrophy. How does this mean that Sun Shizheng is listening to Qin Ge?

It's one thing if you can't decide on your own medicine, but what kind of doctor, a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine, listens to a junior?

Is this old man trying to fob me off by using Qin Ge because he doesn't want to sell?

Most importantly, judging from what Qin Ge just said, he doesn't intend to sell!

Just as Liang Shaohui was having a headache, Qin Ge returned.

He remained silent and quietly sat back down in the seat next to Sun Shizheng.

"Brother Qin, are you done with your work?" Liang Shaohui's heart tightened. Could it be that Zhao Yu had just contacted Qin Ge?

That bastard Zhao Yu, is he trying to kill me?

If it weren't for Sun Shizheng being involved, and it were just Qin Ge alone, he really wanted to send someone to secretly kidnap Qin Ge!

Buying is nowhere as fast as snatching; not only do you save a lot of money, but you might even find out the recipe.

But Sun Shizheng is really hard to deal with. Countless wealthy families have consulted this old man for treatment. If something happens to Sun Shizheng, he might not be able to handle it if any one of them comes after him. If they all join forces, it would be even more terrifying!

After a moment's thought, Liang Shaohui tentatively asked, "Brother Qin, did Zhao Yu contact you just now?"

Qin Ge paused for half a second, then nodded. "Mr. Liang, it's not that we don't want to sell, but as I said before, everything is about first come, first served."

"It wouldn't be right for us to sell you the medicine!"

Liang Shaohui said, "Brother Qin, what you said makes sense, but when it comes to human lives, it can't be explained by reason alone."

"Is Dr. Sun a doctor, a miracle doctor? A doctor with a compassionate heart? Are you just going to watch me die like this?"

"If you couldn't do it, that would be one thing, but you can save me! You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

"I don't need much. Doctor Sun has seven highly effective pills; you only need to sell me one. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

Qin Ge immediately retorted, "Mr. Liang, you're mistaken. Didn't Doctor Sun save you?"

"After Dr. Sun concocted the miracle drug, the first person he thought of was you. You're the one who lost the medicine, and now you're standing on your moral high ground saying these things. Doesn't that make people feel disheartened?"

"Besides, is there a big difference between selling one and selling seven?"

"Dr. Sun's miracle drug requires seven pills for one course of treatment. Cancer is such a stubborn disease; only by taking all seven pills can it be cured. Not even one less will do!"

"You should know this very well: cancer, unless it's completely cured, will recur sooner or later, even if you've recovered to the point of being like a normal person!"

Liang Shaohui's heart sank, his last glimmer of hope shattered by Qin Ge's words.

Sun Shizheng remained silent, which was tantamount to acknowledging that Qin Ge was right.

In other words, without a specific cure, he would eventually die!

He's really messed up now. He regrets it. How could he have been so blinded by greed and gambled with his life?

Liang Shaohui stopped his chaotic thoughts, tears welling up in his eyes. "Dr. Sun, Brother Qin, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

"I only need one, just one!"

"I can pay more, yes, more! Zhao Yu gave 500 million per pill, so I'll add another 100 million!"

Qin Ge expressed deep regret, "But Mr. Zhao just said he's willing to give 800 million for one!"

"What?!" Liang Shaohui gritted his teeth. "That bastard Zhao Yu is trying to wipe us all out!"

"He definitely knew my situation; he did it on purpose!"

Realizing his lapse in composure, he gave an awkward laugh. "I could give eight hundred million too!"

"No, I'll give you a billion!"

Sun Shizheng almost choked on his tea. How did it suddenly become a billion?

Liang Shaohui was like an idiot in front of Qin Ge, completely fooled.

However, it's understandable. It's normal to lose your rationality when you're trying to survive, so the special medicine is indeed worth it!

Zheng Qiuyi, who was eavesdropping, cursed inwardly, "That bastard Qin Ge is really greedy for money!"

No wonder he refused. A single pill could fetch a staggering price of one billion, while Qin Ge achieved his goal with just one pill. It was too damn humiliating!

Is that medicine really that miraculous?

"Old Master Sun, what do you think?" Qin Ge asked Sun Shizheng in a pretentious manner, almost getting kicked by the old man.

"Fine, it's not the way of us doctors to stand by and watch someone die!"

"Let's sell one to Mr. Liang!"

"That's wonderful!" Liang Shaohui was genuinely excited, but also genuinely annoyed with Qin Ge. "Thank you, Dr. Sun, and thank you, Brother Qin, for making this possible!"

Someone like you dares to call yourself a doctor? You're more like a businessman, a swindler!

He had already made up his mind. Giving away 1 billion was indeed painful, but it was only temporary.

If you are not capable of protecting such immense wealth, don't blame me later!

Let's focus on saving our lives first.

Qin Ge continued, "You don't need to raise the price; just go with 800 million!"

"However, I have one additional condition."

"Brother Qin, please speak." Before Liang Shaohui could even feel happy for a second, the next sentence made his heart tighten. He knew it wouldn't be that simple!

That one sentence simultaneously pulled Zheng Qiuyi back from her dejected attempt to leave.

"Mr. Liang, I heard that your son Liang Chen is engaged to Zheng Qiuyi from the Zheng family, is that right?"

Seeing Liang Shaohui's puzzled expression, Qin Ge smiled. "My additional condition is that your son and Zheng Qiuyi break off their engagement!"

Liang Shaohui was even more puzzled. What kind of strange request was this? Was this condition worth two hundred million?

He had already prepared himself mentally. Based on his experience dealing with Qin Ge today, Qin Ge's additional conditions were definitely not simple. And this is how it turned out?

That's too easy!

The son's wife isn't his father's, so it doesn't matter who he marries. Why insist on hanging himself on the Zheng family tree?

Besides, is a son getting married more important than his father's life?

Qin Ge's offer is practically free!

"Okay, I agree!" Liang Shaohui agreed first, then continued to ask, "Brother Qin, is this really your only condition?"

"Would it be presumptuous of me to ask why?"

Zheng Qiuyi heard it clearly, but for some reason she just couldn't be happy; she had a bad feeling about it.

"That's right, just this one condition!" Qin Ge said seriously. "Mr. Liang, do you think this condition isn't worth two hundred million?"

He started making things up, "There's nothing I can't say, Zheng Qiuyi is my woman!"

"Is it appropriate for my woman to marry into your Liang family?"

"Don't even mention a mere two hundred million, I wouldn't blink an eye even if it were two billion!"

"For the sake of my woman, there's only willingness or unwillingness, not whether it's worth it or not!"
