City’s Best Divine Doctor
Chapter 173 - 173 174 The Threat of the Crime Boss

173: Chapter 174: The Threat of the Crime Boss 173: Chapter 174: The Threat of the Crime Boss Now Ye Qiu was ostensibly demanding money from Liu Dazhuang’s brother in order to treat him.

This was completely normal; after all, it was Liu Dazhuang and Zhang Xiaofei who had provoked him first.

After Ye Qiu and Cai Yong came out, Ye Qiu said, “When they send the money, I’ll treat his illness.”

At those hospitals outside, Ye Qiu didn’t know if their medical skills could cure Liu Dazhuang, but he was confident that as long as Liu Dazhuang was still breathing, he could make him fully recover.

“Qiu, I understand.”

Cai Yong said.

He was increasingly impressed with Ye Qiu, practically revering him by now.

Ye Qiu came out, got on his electric bike as Cai Yong and his lackeys watched, and left.

Ye Qiu went to an electric bike repair shop in Jiangbei.

When he arrived, the shop owner looked at Ye Qiu’s bike.

If the scratched areas were to be repainted, it would take quite some time.

However, if the broken parts, like the mirrors, were replaced, it would only take about half an hour.

Ye Qiu asked the shop owner to replace the broken parts but to skip the repainting.

He waited about twenty minutes for all the replacements to be done.

With some scratches still visible, Ye Qiu paid and then rode off toward Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School.

Zhang Wei was slumped over his desk, already asleep.

When he opened his eyes, he saw it was almost eleven a.m.

and realized he hadn’t answered any of the big questions on the social studies test.

Without a doubt, he had bombed this social studies exam, the worst he’d ever done.

Given how badly he did, he didn’t plan to even bother with the English exam in the afternoon.

When the exam ended and the proctor collected the papers, Zhang Wei and his four sidekicks, looking exhausted, walked out of the classroom.

Li Qiang whispered, “Big Wei, you’ve been out of it lately.

Are you staying out late at the bars every night?”

The four sidekicks suspected that Zhang Wei had been partying at the bars alone until late and then bringing women to hotels.

That’s what Zhang Wei used to do.

“No way.

I just go home and sleep.

I’ve been feeling extremely tired lately, don’t know why.”

Zhang Wei yawned again, feeling as tired as if he hadn’t slept at all.

If that was the case, the four sidekicks had no idea what was going on with Zhang Wei lately.

When Zhang Wei left the school and returned to the Zhang family’s home, his mother, Liu Ying, had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him.

Seeing him, she asked, “Wei, how did the exam go today?”

“Mom, I bombed it.

This is the worst I’ve ever done.

I’m not going to take the afternoon exam.

I’ll eat lunch and go back to sleep.”

Zhang Wei said.

Liu Ying found Zhang Wei’s behavior odd.

He’d gone from having insomnia to sleeping excessively.

Liu Ying thought there might be something wrong with her son’s health.

When they had him checked at Jinling Hospital, the doctor said Zhang Wei showed symptoms of kidney deficiency.

Liu Ying found it hard to believe but knew from Zhang Dongliang that Zhang Wei often stayed out late at the bars, and she realized the doctor wasn’t lying.

Zhang Wei ate two bowls of rice and then went straight to bed, falling asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

…

Liu Lingxiu felt she did well on the social studies exam this time, primarily because of the tutoring she received from Ye Qiu.

The questions that used to stump her were much easier now, and she had learned the importance of keywords for the essay questions.

So, she felt this social studies exam was much better than before.

Su Luoluo thought her social studies performance was decent but knew she was still far behind Ye Qiu.

She wondered how she compared to Liu Lingxiu this time.

The two girls came down from the classroom building.

Liu Lingxiu saw Ye Qiu waiting, got onto the back of Ye Qiu’s bike, and as Ye Qiu rode out of the school gate, she said, “I dreamt all night last night, but luckily it didn’t affect the exam.”

“Was it because of what happened last night?”

Liu Lingxiu nodded.

When Ye Qiu biked them back to her house, Zhang Yuehong called them to have lunch.

After lunch, Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing went back to work at the factory.

While Liu Lingxiu napped in her bedroom, Ye Qiu wandered outside.

His phone rang, displaying a number he didn’t recognize.

“Hello, this is Ye Qiu.”

Ye Qiu answered.

A rough voice from a middle-aged man came from the other side: “Ye Qiu, I am Liu Dafei, Liu Dazhuang’s brother.

You better release my brother, or there will be serious consequences.”

“Ha, Liu Dafei?

Do you think I’m afraid of you?

I can release your brother, but just be aware he might not last long, and then you’ll come begging to me!”

Ye Qiu replied coldly.

Would Ye Qiu be afraid of threats from a small-time gangster?

Liu Dazhuang never expected Ye Qiu to respond like that.

Now Ye Qiu realized that keeping Liu Dazhuang with Cai Yong might mean they wouldn’t get the money.

But he knew that when Liu Dazhuang was returned to his brother and their efforts to cure him at the hospital failed, they’d come begging him for help.

Liu Dazhuang had already hung up, and Ye Qiu wondered how they got his number.

But for now, he ignored it, sitting outside Liu Lingxiu’s house playing with his phone.

At around one, Liu Lingxiu woke up and got ready.

She and Ye Qiu headed back to Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School.

At the base of the teaching building, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu went up to the classroom.

Liu Lingxiu returned to her seat to review some English vocabulary and listen to some audio.

Ye Qiu had just sat down when he saw Su Luoluo coming in.

Su Luoluo was listening to English audio with her headphones, looking very focused.

When she saw him, she removed the earbuds and said, “My back hurts.

Can you treat me?”

Previously, Ye Qiu had treated her neck and shoulders, which made her feel much better.

Now only her back was left, and she had thought Ye Qiu would remember eventually.

But after several days without him mentioning it, she decided to bring it up herself.

Seeing they had an hour before the exam, Ye Qiu said, “Let’s go up to the rooftop.”

Su Luoluo followed Ye Qiu out.

Ye Qiu got the rooftop key from Li Shen and opened the door.

They headed up to the rooftop.

Now, it was just Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo on the rooftop.

“Take off your clothes!”
