Chapter 474: Chapter 0475: Li Fei

Just after ten o’clock that evening, Ye Qiu finished his bath and returned to his room on the second floor. This was his second night staying here; on the first night, because he had arrived past midnight, he had not practiced his cultivation.

Tonight was the first time he practiced cultivation in this place. Sitting in front of the large bed facing the window, the moonlight streamed in directly through the window. Ye Qiu felt the essence of the moonlight continuously transforming into Spiritual Energy as he practiced the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique," flowing through his meridians.

His rescue of the guests who had suffered collective poisoning and the treatment of the eight trial chefs and the hotel manager at the hospital had almost exhausted the Spiritual Energy he had cultivated over the past few days.

Only now was he able to continuously replenish it, but to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, he feared it would require even more time.

Early the next day, as soon as Ye Qiu opened his eyes, he knew he had been awakened by his phone. When he checked, he found it was a call from Director Liu of Jinling Hospital.

"Doctor Ye, where are you?"

Director Liu on the other side asked hastily.

Yesterday afternoon, Director Liu and the others at Jinling Hospital had already ascertained that the hotel staff were suffering from aconite poisoning, having detected the toxin in their blood. However, as more time passed, the more severely the toxin infiltrated various parts of their bodies.

If they had started with simple gastric lavage right at the beginning, maybe there could have been other solutions. But now, whether it was traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there seemed to be no cure.

The hotel workers had all been sent to the critical care unit for emergency treatment, and the situation was still not optimistic. It looked impossible to save them.

However, Director Liu knew that since Ye Qiu had easily saved the banquet guests, as well as the eight trial chefs and the hotel manager, the remaining patients, in his view, were the same.

"I’m at home. What’s wrong?"

"The patients’ condition is very serious. Can you come over and treat them?"

Director Liu on the other side said.

"I’ve already said that their life and death are none of my concern, and moreover, this time my guests were almost killed because of them."

"This..."

At a loss for words, Director Liu could only hang up the phone after realizing that Ye Qiu truly had no intention of treating those patients.

Having just taken a plane for thirteen continuous hours from Hawaii back to East Sea City, and then from East Sea City by car to Jinling, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

Li Fei was the primary shareholder of this four-star hotel, with an additional five minor shareholders. However, the shares of those five minor shareholders combined did not amount to twenty percent.

When the hotel faced an incident of mass food poisoning involving the mayor’s wife and several other tycoons, Li Fei knew the situation was extremely serious.

Rushing back early from Hawaii and just arriving in East Sea City, he was alarmed to discover that all the hotel staff were now victims of collective poisoning, in the exact same predicament as the banquet guests.

Now Li Fei stepped out of the Mercedes driven by his bodyguard and hurried into the lobby of Jinling Hospital.

Upon entering, Li Fei immediately said, "I want to see Director Zhou."

Zhou Peng had just arrived at the hospital to start his workday. Despite the previous day’s events, it seemed he wasn’t the least bit afraid; on the contrary, he felt his relationship with Ye Qiu and the Zhiguo couple had grown closer.

As he just settled into his office as the deputy director, preparing to drink tea and read the newspaper, he saw a report on the poisoning incident of the four-star hotel staff.

Now, Zhou Peng was nominally the deputy director of the hospital but, in reality, he had already taken on the role of director, simply waiting for the official appointment notice from higher-ups. However, he was not in a hurry; for him, titles were not particularly significant.

At that moment, a knocking sound came from his door.

As Zhou Peng went to answer it, he saw a middle-aged man around fifty years old by the door, with a young bodyguard beside him, carrying a briefcase.

The middle-aged man looked haggard, having hastily flown in from Hawaii, concerned about the hotel guests and his own hotel staff.

"Who are you?"

"Director Zhou, I’m Li Fei from Eiffel Hotel."

"Ah, it’s you, Boss Li."

Zhou Peng knew that Eiffel Hotel was a nationwide chain of four-star hotels with around a hundred such establishments across the country. Each hotel was managed by professional managers.

The true owner and major shareholder behind them was Li Fei. The hotel manager who Ye Qiu treated yesterday was just one of the managers employed by the hotel.

If the hotel only encountered minor issues, there was no need to contact him, since Li Fei was usually very busy.

"Director Zhou, how are my employees doing?"

Li Fei asked anxiously.

"Doctor Ye only managed to save eight of the tasting chefs and your hotel’s Manager Tian."

"What about the others?"

With each hotel employing over a hundred people, if only nine were saved, the situation for the other hotel staff was still very serious. What worried him most was that if something truly happened to these hotel employees, all his wealth couldn’t make up for it.

While Zhou Peng was leading Li Fei to Director Liu, Director Liu had just finished a phone call with Ye Qiu and realized that Ye Qiu had no intention of treating these patients.

For a moment, he couldn’t quite understand what Ye Qiu was thinking.

Seeing Director Zhou escorting Li Fei, Director Liu, knowing the man before him was the hotel’s major owner, could only say, "Boss Li, their condition is critical, I’m afraid the hospital is powerless to help."

"You have no way to treat them?"

Li Fei asked.

Jinling Hospital was the best in Jinling City and even in Jiangnan Province, ranking among the top nationwide. If even Jinling Hospital’s doctors were at a loss, transferring them to other hospitals wouldn’t make any difference.

"Truly, there’s no way. Doctor Ye said the patients were poisoned with Aconite Gu, and our hospital’s tests found aconitine toxins present in all the patients. The toxins have penetrated their entire bodies, so we’re completely incapable of treating them. If there really is a way, there are only two possible methods."

"What are the methods?"

Li Fei asked urgently.

"One is to ask Doctor Ye to come and treat them. Since Ye Qiu can easily cure other patients with the same condition, then he can certainly do the same for the rest. The other, not really a method, is since the condition involves Aconite Gu, we can only invite a wizard from Miaojiang to come and remove the Gu poison. Perhaps they might be able to save the patients."

However, in Director Liu’s view, the first method was more reliable. As for the second, firstly, there wasn’t enough time, and secondly, even if they managed to bring a Miaojiang wizard, there was no guarantee they could eliminate the Aconite Gu.
