That night, when Sun Yi got off from work, she wanted to check if Ye Chen was angry. After all, her words from that morning could be slightly hurtful.

When she saw that Ye Chen had bought a ton of random banners, however, she really began to lose her temper.

She felt bad for his misfortunes, but she was angry at his own uselessness!

She had thought that her advice would wake him up, and she was even hoping that he had gone to work like an honest man. What she did not expect was to find that not only had Ye Chen not found a proper job, he had instead resorted to even more scams and lies!

This time, he was not lying to her, but to others! That was even worse!

Ye Chen noticed that Sun Yi was back too, and he was about to tell her about his plan when she rushed up to him angrily and berated him furiously, “Could you be any more childish? Why can’t you find a proper job?”

Ye Chen shrugged and said exasperatedly, “I’m healing the wounded and the ill here. How’s that not a proper job?”

“I can give you money if you need it, but all I ask is that you are as honest as your name suggests. I’m sure that’s what your parents intended when they named you that too. They’re living far away in the villages, right? What would they think if they found out about what you’re doing now?

“How will you face them in the future? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

When she said that, Sun Yi a.s.sumed Ye Chen would retort cheekily and perhaps make a dirty joke or two at her expense. To her surprise, however, the twinkle in Ye Chen’s eyes dimmed. He turned around wordlessly, taking the things he had prepared today and leaving.

When Ye Chen reached the door, he stopped. “I want to face them in the future too, but that’s no longer possible. I’ll never see them ever again.”

With that, Ye Chen walked out.

Sun Yi watched Ye Chen’s lonely back as he left, and she finally realized that she had said the wrong thing.

“He… doesn’t have parents…”

She realized just what her words earlier meant to an orphan without parents.

She also realized just how badly Ye Chen’s heart must hurt right now.

For some reason, tears gathered in her eyes, and she remembered the incident from five years ago again.

She remembered the boy who had sat next to her, and the wonderful family he had once had. All of it was destroyed overnight.

No one knew what happened that night.

All she knew was that the Ye family was no more.

The boy named Ye Chen was gone too.

She knew the pain of losing a family member.

That was why she wanted to do something, anything, in her power to help her missing or deceased friend.

Despite everyone’s protests, she buried the three members of the Ye family…

Sun Yi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly gave chase, but Ye Chen had long since been lost in the crowd.

She could not find him anywhere.

Just as Sun Yi was feeling dejected, her phone rang. At first, she thought it was a call from Ye Chen, but the moment she picked up, she finally remembered that Ye Chen did not even have a cellphone.

There were two words clearly written on the phone screen: Xia Ruoxue.

“President Xia, you’re back?” Sun Yi gathered her thoughts and picked up the call.

“Where are you, Sun Yi? Come back to the company right now. This is an S-grade emergency meeting.”

As soon as she said that, the line died.

Sun Yi realized something was wrong. She had worked for this company for years, but she had never heard the president sound so hasty before, as though something big had happened.

Even more strangely, she had called an S-grade emergency meeting! That was the highest possible grade!

“Did something happen to the Magnificent Group?”

…

City North Park.

Carrying a whole load of items, Ye Chen arrived at the shopping street inside the park.

Since it was already evening, many stalls of different sizes were already up and going. There was a decent crowd, too.

Ye Chen finally found an empty spot and set his things down, setting up a simple little table.

Once he had that done, he suddenly noticed a very serious problem—he had forgotten to bring a chair!

He could not treat the ill while demanding that they stand, could he?

“Don’t tell me, do I really have to postpone my grand opening on the very first day?”

While Ye Chen’s brows were knotted in frustration, an older man selling ceramics next to him walked up to him.

“Hey, kiddo, you new here? I ain’t seen you before.”

Only then did Ye Chen notice the man next to him. After a short chat, they got to know each other better.

The older man’s name was Zhong Xueyong, and he came from Pine Mountain County, south of River City. He was setting up a stall here to earn a living, and he had a sunny disposition with a cheery smile.

“Kiddo, you looked pretty down ‘n the dumps there. Did ya run into some trouble?”

Ye Chen said honestly, “It’s my first day here, Uncle Zhong, and I forgot to bring a chair. Now I plan to pack my stuff up and come again tomorrow.”

When Uncle Zhong heard that, he handed Ye Chen the chair he had been sitting on without hesitation. “I don’t like ta sit too much either, so ya can have this chair. There are plenty of people around today, so it’d be too bad if ya don’t set up shop.”

“But if you don’t have a chair, Uncle, you’ll have to stand all day. Won’t you…”

Before Ye Chen could complete that sentence, Uncle Zhong waved him off and returned to his stall. “Don’ worry about it, kiddo. I gave it to ya so it’s yours. If your business gets boomin’ someday, just gimme a cigarette as payback.”

Ye Chen did not hesitate any longer either. Thanking Uncle Zhong, he placed the chair directly in front of his stall, and then he hung up the banners he had prepared beforehand!

Uncle Zhong had been curious about Ye Chen’s stall to begin with, so he snuck a peak, but when he saw the banners, he was instantly stunned!

The first was one still relatively normal, saying, “Careful, Genuine, Sincere!”

The second one was slightly off, though. “The medicine of heavens, the hands of G.o.d. Bian Que

1

and Hua Tuo reincarnated!”

Uncle Zhong never expected Lil Ye to be a doctor, but what kind of doctor praised themselves so exaggeratedly?

Even the doctors from River City’s No. 1 Hospital did not dare to say such things!

Was Lil Ye insane?

To make things worse, when he saw the third banner, Uncle Zhong nearly lost it altogether!

“Opening promotion, 20% discount for all. Will heal all diseases for consultation fees starting 100,000!”

Oh, goodness! What was Lil Ye doing? Who gave discounts on medical fees?

Plus, discounts aside, your consultation fee alone was a hundred thousand. What the heck was this?

n.o.body ever set a base price like that!

Uncle Zhong was about to advise Ye Chen against it, but before he knew it, Ye Chen’s stall was surrounded by people!

He could not even squeeze his way in.

“This is bad, Lil Ye will be in trouble,” Uncle Zhong said anxiously.

In truth, most of the crowd was there to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself!

They wanted to get a glimpse of the punk who dared to ask for a hundred thousand in consultation fees!

A blonde man stepped forth and looked Ye Chen from head to toe, saying with a cold sn.i.g.g.e.r, “You just got here, right, punk? You here to heal people? A hundred K, you say? Sure you ain’t joking around?”

Ye Chen could tell at a glance that the blonde was here to stir up trouble, so he said, “Pay me a hundred thousand in consultation fees, and you can see for yourself if it’s worth it.”

The blonde had not expected the stall owner to be so rude, so he said contemptuously, “You? Demanding a hundred thousand from me? I’ve beaten up tons of scammers like you!”

Ye Chen took one step forth. “Why don’t you give it a try, then?”

Ye Chen did not use any of his True Qi, but he was a man who had clawed his way out of a mountain of corpses. A glare alone was enough for him to stun everyone present!

In that second, the blonde felt as though he was being watched by the G.o.d of death. Large droplets of sweat beaded from his forehead, and he felt like he had been plunged into ice!

“I…”

The blonde instinctively took a step back, but he slipped and fell on his b.u.t.t.

The scene sent the onlookers into a bout of hearty laughter, and too ashamed to stay, the blonde ran away with his tail between his legs.
