“Friend, are you looking for your consultation fee to be paid in j.a.panese yen or Korean won?” Suddenly, a man in a suit and leather shoes spoke up. He was the director of a sales company, and he figured that Ye Chen was using the conversion rate to gain some attention.

“I only accept Chinese yuan,” Ye Chen said.

As soon as he said that, everyone took a sharp intake of breath!

The punk was really going there!

After all, a hundred thousand was about how much a white-collar worker in River City earned in a year. No one could afford that consultation fee!

Just as there was an uproar, Ye Chen added, “The hundred thousand is just the deposit. If the patient’s condition is slightly more troublesome, the fees will start from a million onward. However, I guarantee that I can heal any ailment under the sun.”

In that moment, everyone in the crowd fell silent.

The hundred thousand was only his deposit!

Everything that came after would cost at least a million!

Where… Where the f*ck did this psycho escape from?

The next second, the crowd erupted into curses!

“Why don’t you go rob a bank? I can’t believe you dare to ask for a hundred thousand for a deposit! Do you really think you’re Hua Tuo?” an older lady berated him loudly.

“This guy must be a scammer! I’m sure he’ll run once he gets the deposit!”

“Exactly, exactly, he must be a fraud! Let’s call the cops on ’em!”

Uncle Zhong saw the situation taking a turn for the worse, so he hurriedly squeezed his way into the crowd, advising Ye Chen kindly, “Lil Ye, you… you should move your stall away for now. What were ya thinking? If ya don’t leave now, they’ll be out for ya blood.

“Curses, someone already called the cops. Lil Ye, hurry up and run.”

Ye Chen looked at the furious mob and shook his head helplessly. He had a.s.sumed that there would be at least one person in so large a crowd willing to give it a try, but amidst that commotion, he had somehow become a universally-recognized swindler.

He could even see an older aunty nearby preparing to throw her newly-bought eggs at him.

“Fine, I’ll close up shop for now. I still need to earn some money, though, so back to the drawing board it is.”

Just as Ye Chen was about to pack up, two young girls squeezed through the crowd.

The girls’ appearance caused the cursing to die down, because everyone’s eyes were drawn to one of the girls.

She was just too beautiful.

The girl wore a yellow baseball cap that covered half of her face, but even then, they could tell that she must be absolutely gorgeous, stunningly so!

The girl glanced at Ye Chen’s banners, and although she was slightly skeptical, she chose to speak anyway. “Um… Can you really cure anything?”

Ye Chen nodded.

“Alright, then come back with me.”

The girl was unusually decisive, so much so that it was Ye Chen’s turn to feel incredulous.

As soon as the girl said that, the short-haired girl beside her said,

“Are you out of your mind, Mengjia? This guy is clearly a fraud. You can’t just fall for anything! Besides, a team of experts from overseas will be flying here tomorrow for Uncle’s surgery, so why would you still believe in such a fraud now?

“Besides, look at this guy. He’s about our age! At most, he’s a med student. Do you really think someone like that can heal all ailments?”

When the girl named Mengjia heard that, she hesitated. Giving Ye Chen another glance, she asked for confirmation, “Um, are you really not lying?”

Ye Chen pointed at the banner and said solemnly, “I, Ye Chen, will never lie to anyone. If I can’t heal them, you can do whatever you want to me.”

With that, the girl made up her mind. “Alright, then come with me. I choose you!”

As soon as she said that, the crowd around them erupted again.

“Miss, this guy really is a cheat…”

“Miss, you should go to a better hospital for a doctor. This punk won’t cut it!”

…

The short-haired girl continued to advise her, “Hear that, Mengjia? Everyone says he’s a fraud, so don’t get carried away now…”

Nevertheless, the girl’s mind was made up, and she walked right up to Ye Chen, pulling his hand as she led him away. “Dad doesn’t have much time left, so I don’t care even if he is a cheat. I can’t let go of any hint of hope, so I’ll take whatever I can get now.”

Ye Chen was a little confused. “Hey, I haven’t agreed yet, gorgeous…”

“I don’t need you to.”

Ye Chen, “…”

The girl forcefully dragged Ye Chen to a Mercedes-Benz G-wagen. Although he did not really know cars, even Ye Chen could tell that this car cost a bomb.

All three of them took the back seats, and the driver was a man who looked like he was thirty years old.

“Where are we going now, young miss?” asked the driver.

The girl was overcome with worry, so she said distractedly, “Home.”

After that, the girl looked at Ye Chen and introduced herself. “My name is Shen Mengjia. You must be wondering why I brought you here…”

Ye Chen shook his head. “No, I’m not. After all, you’re the only one with a good eye.”

Shen Mengjia rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and took a card out of her bag. “You want a hundred thousand, sure. I only want you to do one thing, and that’s to trick my mother. When you reach my house, you have to say that you can heal my dad, but tell her that you have to take him to the mountains for a year of healing. Once you accomplish that, I’ll give you another fifty thousand.”

Only then did Shen Mengjia’s short-haired friend figure out what she was up to. She gasped, saying, “Mengjia, so you only called this fraud over because you don’t want your mom to know? But she’ll find out eventually…”

Shen Mengjia’s lips trembled, and tears filled her eyes. “I have no other choice, Xiao Min. Dad is terminally ill, and he can’t be cured. He can’t even last the night! Besides, you know how bad my mom’s health is. If she finds out that Dad’s no longer around, she won’t be able to handle the truth. I really don’t want to lose both of my parents at the same time.”

Just then, the girls hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.

Ye Chen was pretty floored, too. He had thought that he finally met someone who knew what he was worth, but it turned out that the girl had fancied his lying skills and not his medical ones!

F*ck!

He should be the one wailing over here!

…

In the villa area of Dragon Leap Bay, north of River City.

The G-wagen drove into the villa area and stopped in front of the No. 1 villa.

After that, the three of them got out of the car. Before they went inside, Shen Mengjia reminded Ye Chen again, “Remember what I said earlier, and watch for my cues.”

Ye Chen harrumphed coldly and ignored her, walking right in.

The two girls’ eyes widened. It was their first time seeing such a proud swindler.

“Mengjia, why do I feel like we can’t trust this guy?” said Xiao Min.

“Sigh, whatever. He’s already here, so we can’t just chase him out.”

With that, the two of them walked in as well.
