a doctor previously, they encountered several such scams. And this time, they were sure to spend quite a lot of money, so they had no choice but to be cautious."You're here. Come in." Xiao Yu said to...Chapter 450 - If You Want to Save Him, Pay Up

"Little Wang, is this the doctor you were looking for How come it's a young man If you dare to fool me, hahaha..." Just as Xiao Yu and his companions entered the room, a woman in her late forties who was rather stout turned around to look at Manager Wang after giving Xiao Yu an indifferent glance. She spoke with a mocking tone.

"Ms. Liang, this is the doctor I mentioned a few days ago!" Upon hearing the woman's derisive laughter, Manager Wang shuddered and quickly said.

"Oh, you go take a look!" When she heard what Manager Wang said, the middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Yu with arrogance and disdain. She pursed her lips and said.

Xiao Yu's face remained expressionless as he approached the bed on one side. He then raised his head to look at Liang Shang who was lying in bed; this man was indeed the CEO of Top Sky Group, but now he looked like a skeleton with pale skin and no longer had any trace of arrogance.

Xiao Yu walked over, placed his hand on Liang Shang's wrist, and took his pulse.

After a while, Xiao Yu let go of the person in bed’s wrist and involuntarily shook his head as he said, "Sorry, I'm powerless. It's too late now; if you had found me a few days earlier, it might still have been possible to save him. But now that his vital energy is gone, medicine won't work."

"Damn it! You charged my ten thousand and after one minute of checking his pulse, you told me there's no hope left. Are you messing with me" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the woman in her late forties who was around forty-seven or forty-eight years old looked at Xiao Yu angrily and shouted.

Earlier on, Manager Wang had already informed her that this visit cost ten thousand dollars. Now seeing that after taking Liang Shang's pulse for just a moment, he declared there was no hope left made her furious. When did she ever experience such treatment In the deep sea, would anyone dare to charge her ten thousand for a doctor’s consultation fee Therefore, hearing Xiao Yu’s words, all the anger suppressed in her heart erupted.

"Madam, that's not right. I clearly said when I arrived that whether or not I could help, it costs ten thousand dollars. If you didn't like this condition, I wouldn’t have come! Is it too late to say this now"

While looking at the woman, Xiao Yu did not show any anger but rather a hint of a smile.

"This... I don't care about any of this. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my brother, none of you will have an easy time; I'll make sure each one of you ends up in jail!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the woman was stunned for a moment and then angrily shouted at him as well as the doctors standing by Liang Shang.

The three doctors beside Liang Shang trembled upon hearing what this middle-aged woman said. They nearly dropped their medicine in fear. They were very clear about her background; she was the wife of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary, someone with immense influence in Deep Sea. If they truly wanted to send these people to jail, they could easily find various pretexts.

After hearing this woman's words, Xiao Yu showed a hint of fear on his face as he looked at her tremblingly and said: "M...Madam, actually I have another method, but... But even if it can save him, there is an 80% chance that he will suffer from full-body paralysis!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the woman's expression changed. She wanted to curse him out of anger, but seeing her unconscious brother and what the doctor had just told her — her brother was already critically ill and could die at any moment; they needed to start preparing for his funeral — she hesitated.

This was also why there were so many people downstairs. They were all waiting for Liang Shang's death to arrange the funeral. Therefore, when hearing what Xiao Yu said, she wanted to scold him but feared that it would drive away their last hope.

Seeing this middle-aged woman, Xiao Yu curled his lips into a mocking smile and continued: "Please consider carefully! This time I need five hundred million, not five million, as a guarantee for saving him. If you want to save him, find me; otherwise forget about it. Remember to come before three in the afternoon or no one can help even if gods come down!"

"What Five hundred million Are you joking" Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the woman was startled.

Xiao Yu walked out of the room upon finishing his talk. He didn’t have any affection for Liang Shang lying there on the bed. To encroach on land, he had forced merchants to their breaking point and hired henchmen to threaten and bully them; in short, he was a tyrant.

Seeing Xiao Yu walk out of the room, the woman’s face turned red and green with anger. Five hundred million wasn't a small sum of money—it was almost half her family's assets. Even though her brother still had some money left, how could she raise it now that he was unconscious

Looking at Liang Shang lying there helplessly, if this were not her brother, she wouldn’t have cared about his life or death. If he died, even better. Since Liang Shang didn't have any children and as an elder sister, she was the only heir; but since it was her own brother, no matter what, she couldn't let him die like this. Moreover, she still received dividends from her brother's company, otherwise how would she have a hundred million

"Five hundred million, such boldness to ask for! I’ll make sure you only get your life back but won’t be able to spend the money!" The woman muttered inwardly as she saw Xiao Yu leave the villa and head towards his car.

"Manager Wang, stop him and tell him that I agree!" This middle-aged woman couldn't bear to see her brother die like this, so after some deliberation, she looked at Xiao Yu in the courtyard and said.

The manager Wang responded and went out of the house, running towards the villa's exit.

"Hmph..." The middle-aged woman gave a cold snort as she looked at Xiao Yu before turning to glare at Liang Shang.

As soon as Manager Wang caught up with Xiao Yu outside and stopped him, Xiao Yu returned to the house.

A moment later, when he entered the room, Xiao Yu saw the hostility in the eyes of this middle-aged woman and knew that she wouldn’t easily pay. Even if she did, there would be other means involved.

However, Xiao Yu wasn't too concerned about it. After entering the house, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Madam, since you've agreed, let's sign a contract first and make an initial payment." With that, Xiao Yu sat quietly on the sofa inside the room.

The manager Wang could see the anger in the eyes of this middle-aged woman. He believed that if it wasn’t for Xiao Yu saving Liang Shang’s life, she would tear him to pieces right away. Therefore, he dared not make any moves or speak up to seek discomfort.

Although this middle-aged woman was angry, she had no way out; her brother's life depended on Xiao Yu. Otherwise, it meant that she didn't care about her brother’s life at all.

"Manager Wang, go and write a contract and have the finance of Xiao Shang’s company issue a five million dollar check!" After glaring fiercely at Xiao Yu, the middle-aged woman turned to Manager Wang and said.

Upon hearing the words from this middle-aged woman, Manager Wang quickly responded and walked out of the room.

About an hour later, a forty-something-year-old woman came in holding a check. The middle-aged woman took over the check and received the drafted agreement from Manager Wang’s hands as well.

The two people each signed a copy of the agreement. The middle-aged woman placed a check on the table and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"There you go, all of you can leave now! I need to treat him!" After everyone had left, Xiao Yu came back to the bedside once again.

At first, Liang Shang's condition was merely due to stress causing his liver fire to flare up. However, because his liver fire was too intense, it worsened his condition.

When they sought out Xiao Yu for medical treatment, he discovered that the Dingtian Group behind those thugs who were bullying local residents was actually responsible for this situation. So while treating Liang Shang, Xiao Yu secretly drew a highly simplified evil-attracting talisman on Liang's stomach.

Usually, an ordinary evil-attracting talisman would be composed of hundreds or even thousands of intricate symbols, whereas such a super-simplified version is just one single symbol. This kind of talisman doesn't have any effect during normal times and won't cause much harm to the human body.

However, when this simplified evil-attracting talisman appears on someone like Liang Shang who hasn’t eaten for days and whose constitution has become extremely weak, a small amount of Yin煞qi (malevolent qi) will gather in his stomach, making it impossible for him to eat anything.

As a result, Liang Shang could only maintain his life by receiving intravenous nutrition. But since there was no sunlight entering this room at all, the evil-attracting talisman would continuously accumulate Yin qi within his body; though in small amounts, it wouldn’t harm him much if he were someone who often went out into the sun. However, for Liang Shang, more and more Yin煞qi would gather inside him over time.

If this accumulated Yin煞qi affected a healthy person with robust blood flow, they likely wouldn't be impacted at all; but given how weak Liang Shang was, such Yin煞qi could indeed influence his condition adversely.

As he grew weaker and the amount of Yin煞qi accumulating on him increased continuously, its impact on him became more severe. This vicious cycle had led to his current state.

Xiao Yu looked at Liang Shang lying naked in bed and flicked his finger lightly; a streak of golden light quickly shot into the black mist gathered around Liang's stomach.

This black mist was precisely the accumulated Yin煞qi. Once that golden light entered the Yin煞qi, it rapidly dissipated, disappearing within moments.ere.Xiao Yu knew this was a nest and judging from the scene in the house, it must have been the home of that ape.
