A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.
Chapter 68 Su Man's Illness
In the reception room sat a woman in her thirties.
Wearing a very sharp, high-end gray suit, with beautiful makeup and a very straight back, even just sitting down, the aura he exuded revealed the kind of decisive and ruthless person who had been in the underworld for a long time.
She is Su Man, the president of Tianheng Capital's Dongyang branch.
However, as soon as Ye Feng went in, before he could even touch the ground with three fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This woman is not good!
The makeup was beautiful, but it couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes, and there was an eerie bluish-gray tinge at her temples. Her hand holding a cup of tea looked steady, but there was a slight, uncontrollable tremor between her fingers...
"Dr. Ye," Su Man said directly, her tone crisp and efficient, but unable to conceal the hoarseness and exhaustion in her voice, "I've long admired your reputation. I'm bothering you today because I have a problem that many famous doctors have been unable to diagnose or treat, and I'd like to see you..."
She is also a straightforward person and spoke about her own problems.
For the past year or so, she has been having trouble sleeping, getting at most two hours of sleep at night, and frequently experiencing insomnia. She also sometimes gets angry, and she feels like a tightly stretched thread.
She visited several top hospitals in the country and underwent various tests, but all the instruments couldn't find anything wrong. All the experts thought it was severe neurasthenia caused by excessive mental stress due to overwork, and prescribed her sleeping pills, but the more she took them, the worse they became...
"I know about your relationship with Lin Zhu," Su Man said bluntly, her eyes fixed on Ye Feng. "Money is money, and medical treatment is medical treatment. I, Su Man, can tell the difference. This time I've come to you, so name your price!"
That sounds nice!
There was also a hint of an official's domineering attitude...
Ye Feng didn't waste any time with her; he extended three fingers and felt her pulse.
The vital energy entered and circulated along her blood vessels.
The next moment, Ye Feng's brows furrowed sharply.
Neurasthenia?
Where is that?
Within her blood vessels and internal organs, there was a faint, somewhat feminine yet omnipresent... medicinal property?
The medicine was gentle and wouldn't kill her, but it accumulated day by day, gradually eroding and destroying her mind and spirit, making her feel restless and unable to sleep when she was without it!
And the most insidious thing is...
It's addictive!
Ye Feng's gaze gradually turned cold.
"President Su," he slowly withdrew his hand, staring intently into her eyes, and said, word by word, "I have a question for you: Have you been taking a 'special calming health supplement' all year? And that stuff is only available through one sales channel; without it, you feel unwell all over and can't sleep at night?"
Su Man's hand holding the tea suddenly twitched, and her pupils contracted sharply.
"How...how did you know?" Her voice changed. "Those...those are high-end skincare products approved by headquarters for the top executives. What's wrong?"
"A health supplement?" Ye Feng scoffed, "Hahahaha! President Su, forgive my bluntness, but your illness, from beginning to end, wasn't really an illness at all!"
"It's like someone gave you a slow-acting poison, a poison that you can't stop taking."
Su Man's face turned white in an instant.
"Impossible!" Su Man stood up, her usually calm voice losing control for the first time: "That was a generous gift from headquarters to us high-ranking officials, a blessing! How could it be... poison?"
"A generous gift? A favor?" Ye Feng sneered. "President Su, you're a smart man. Think about it yourself. Over the course of the year, haven't you become increasingly dependent on this poison? If you stop taking it for three days, doesn't your heart race, you tremble, suffer from insomnia, and even become unable to work properly? But once you take this poison on time, you're like a robot, working overtime, desperately risking your life for Tianheng!"
Su Man was stunned; she had heard every single word!
"This poison won't kill you!" Ye Feng said coldly, "but it will make you dependent on the hand that administers it. With the medicine, you'll be alive and kicking; without it, you'll be in unbearable pain. To put it bluntly, it doesn't want your life, it just wants you to obey!"
"A boss who uses you like a knife and holds your mind in his grasp!" He looked into her eyes and said, "You've worked for him for a year, and now you're sick, and you treat it as a blessing? Hahahaha, what a joke!"
Ye Feng's words seemed to strike Su Man's heart hard, making her turn pale and collapse onto the sofa.
She was a smart person, and precisely because of that, she understood the stark truth in Ye Feng's words perfectly! That's why Su Man felt even more afraid.
All her ailments and symptoms over the past year, as well as the mental distraction and anxiety that made it impossible for her to sleep without that bottle of concoction, all of this stemmed from the very first glance when she noticed a rope around her neck, which she had firmly tied around her neck. And this rope was given to her by the person who had received it from her!
That's Tianheng! The Tianheng she'd serve at all costs!
"You..." Su Man's lips trembled for a long time before she finally found her voice: "Without evidence, what are you talking about? You only talk the talk, so why should I believe you!"
"The evidence is on myself." Ye Feng wasn't angry at all. "Go back and stop taking this 'conditioning product' for three days. If you feel relaxed and can sleep soundly after three days, then it was all nonsense on my part; but if you experience heart palpitations, trembling hands, and insomnia, then the answer is right in front of you, isn't it?"
"As for the antidote!" Ye Feng changed the subject, his roguish nature returning. "I can help you with that. It's a bit underhanded, but in my hands, it's just a matter of a few injections. However—"
He paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Why should I be the one to solve this...?"
Su Man fell silent immediately.
She came here to test the waters, even to threaten him. She was curious about what kind of "miracle doctor" Lin Zhu, who had caused such a stir in Dongyang, really was, and she wanted to see what his true abilities were. But she never expected that her question would uncover a truth that sent chills down her spine, ultimately putting her in a very difficult position!
After a long while, she raised her head, and for the first time, the iron-fisted power was gone from her sharp eyes; instead, a hint of genuine wavering appeared.
"Dr. Ye the Divine Physician".
She gritted her teeth, "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything!"
Ye Feng shook his head, stood up, and looked down at her, saying, "I just want to remind you of something—a boss who even drugs and keeps his own people under control, what do you think he'll do to you once you're no longer of use to him?"
"Think about those words when you get back."
He said those words and turned to walk out.
"I've thought it through. Whether you continue using that 'conditioning product' or not is up to you. My door is always open for those who genuinely seek medical help."
Su Man sat there watching Ye Feng's departing figure. At that moment, she realized that the carefree Ye Feng had suddenly become reassuring. This time, she discovered that her Tianheng, and even the entire headquarters, was not so unbreakable, but had a small hole.
This tiny hole will one day cost Tianheng half his life.
