Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 130 - 130 126 Excessive Heart Load

130: Chapter 126: Excessive Heart Load 130: Chapter 126: Excessive Heart Load Three days later, Ye Fan returned to Hua Hai City, and after dropping Zeng Jingwei off at Hua Hai University, he went straight to the 411 Military Hospital in Hua Hai City to visit Lu Chengqiang.

After three days of treatment, and with the excellent medical standards of the military hospital, Lu Chengqiang’s spirits had recovered very well.

Though his body was still wrapped in many white bandages, he was already full of life and energy.

“Boss, you came just in time.

Help me apply to get discharged early; staying in this godforsaken place for a week would be enough to suffocate me to death,” Lu Chengqiang, with tubes attached to his body, exclaimed as he jumped off the bed upon seeing Ye Fan walk in.

Ye Fan took a careful look at Lu Chengqiang from head to toe and nodded, “You’ve recovered well.”

“That’s right!

Our bodies aren’t that delicate; as long as we don’t die on the spot, a few days’ time is enough to be fully rejuvenated!” Lu Chengqiang laughed heartily.

“I told the doctors I wanted to be discharged the day after tomorrow, but they absolutely refused, saying I needed to be treated for at least half a month.

I’ll suffocate to death by then.”

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Then you should be treated for that half a month.

It’s a good opportunity to recuperate properly and heal any internal injuries.”

“Really stay here for half a month?” Lu Chengqiang cried out while holding his head in distress.

“I’d rather have died on the spot in Africa than be suffocated to death here.”

“Hahaha, stop it, don’t act like you’ve suffered when you’ve actually benefited.

The other brothers don’t know how envious they are that you got the chance to come back home,” Ye Fan laughed.

Lu Chengqiang gave a silly laugh a few times, then suddenly changed his tone and asked, “Boss, has Zeng Zi been buried?”

“Yes.

His ashes have been sent back to his hometown for burial,” Ye Fan said with a solemn face.

“What about Emali?

Is she doing okay?” Lu Chengqiang asked again.

Ye Fan nodded, “She’s doing fine.

She’s a strong and sensible girl; I believe she will have a better life ahead of her.”

The two were talking in the ward when a knock on the door was heard, and a middle-aged male doctor dressed in a white coat entered, followed by two assistants carrying medical supplies such as IV fluid, syringe, and stethoscope.

Seeing Lu Chengqiang not resting in bed, but standing and talking with Ye Fan, the middle-aged male doctor immediately frowned and sternly criticized, “Comrade Lu Chengqiang, please take care of your body and also respect the work of our medical staff.”

“Haha, it’s fine, I’m feeling very good, I could be discharged right away,” Lu Chengqiang laughingly said.

How could he show weakness in front of Ye Fan to a doctor without any fighting capacity?

The middle-aged male doctor was about to scold Lu Chengqiang when Ye Fan seriously said to him, “Don’t talk back to the doctor.

It was the doctor who saved your life.”

“Yes, sir!” Lu Chengqiang responded loudly, and immediately lay back down on the bed.

Ye Fan turned to the middle-aged male doctor and said, “I’m sorry, he’s a bit reckless; please forgive his behavior.”

“Hmm,” the middle-aged male doctor nodded and then, looking at Ye Fan, suddenly asked, “And who are you to him?”

“He’s my soldier,” Ye Fan said.

The middle-aged male doctor said, “I am his attending doctor.

Don’t rush off; I have something to discuss with you later.”

“Alright,” Ye Fan agreed.

Ten minutes later, after Lu Chengqiang finished his check-up and medication injections, the middle-aged male doctor said to Ye Fan, “Comrade, please follow me to my office.”

Ye Fan nodded.

Two or three minutes later, in a medical office, the middle-aged male doctor said solemnly to Ye Fan, “Comrade, how may I address you?

My name is Chen.”

“I’m Ye Fan, ‘Ye’ as in Ye Gucheng and ‘Fan’ as in extraordinary,” Ye Fan said, “Dr.

Chen, how is Lu Chengqiang’s recovery?

Will there be any complications?”

“His current injuries are not a big deal, with the hospital’s facilities, there should be no lasting effects,” Dr.

Chen spoke, “It’s just…”

“Just what?” Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat with a sudden sense of foreboding.

Dr.

Chen said seriously, “During his full body examination, we found that his heart has been under excessive strain.”

“Is it serious?

Is there a cure?” Ye Fan immediately asked.

Dr.

Chen said, “It’s not serious if you consider it one way, but then again, it is serious.

If he leads the life of an ordinary person from now on, he won’t have any issues.

But if he continues his military career, engaging in high-intensity physical activities, his condition will be very dangerous.

Within two years, there’s a seventy percent chance that he’ll work himself to death!”

“Ah!” Ye Fan exclaimed in shock.

“Then, is there a cure?” he asked anxiously.

Dr.

Chen shook his head and said, “He can only recover naturally, other treatments might backfire.

So, from a medical standpoint, I suggest that once his injuries heal, he should resign and transition to civilian life.”

He paused before continuing, “You are his superior, so I’m informing you first to prepare you for what’s coming.

Once his injuries are healed and he’s discharged, I’ll tell him.”

Ye Fan nodded mechanically and said, “Thank you, Dr.

Chen.”

He could only imagine how heartbroken, furious, and reluctant Lu Chengqiang would feel upon learning that he would have to leave the Dragon Squad for good.

Returning to the ward, Lu Chengqiang immediately sat up and asked, “Boss, what did the doctor whisper to you behind my back?”

“Hehe, it’s nothing.

He just told me you have many underlying injuries and suggested that I persuade you to stay in the hospital a little longer for recovery,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Lu Chengqiang laughed it off and said, “I thought it was something serious.

You guys were all hush-hush about it.”

…

…

After leaving the military hospital, Ye Fan drove home while thinking about Lu Chengqiang’s possible resignation and transition to civilian life.

Lu Chengqiang held the rank of active-duty Lieutenant, which normally made it difficult to transition directly; he would likely be discharged and enter retirement.

Of course, Ye Fan wouldn’t let one of his men just retire; he was determined to use his connections to ensure Lu Chengqiang had a smooth transition.

In civilian terms, a Lieutenant with either a primary or deputy company rank would be equivalent to a staff-level civil servant.

Unexpectedly, within just a few short days, the African branch of the Dragon Squad had lost two core members.

Fortunately, a few days earlier, Ye Fan had wiped out a mid-level force in the African continent, an action powerful enough to deter many forces in Africa for a year.

One year should be sufficient to either transfer people from the Middle Eastern branch or to recruit fresh blood from within the country.

When he got home, it was past five in the afternoon, and Ye Fan sat on the sofa in the living room to rest.

Around six-thirty, Li Zhaojun returned.

After setting down her document bag and switching out of her high heels, she washed her face and hands before entering the dining room.

She saw Ye Fan already sitting at the dinner table.

Of course, Ye Fan had not yet begun to eat.

“Back?

Did you get everything done?” Li Zhaojun asked coldly as she sat down.

Before leaving for Africa, Ye Fan had called to tell her that he needed to leave Hua Hai City for a few days to handle an urgent matter.

Ye Fan nodded and said, “For the time being, things are wrapped up.”

Li Zhaojun didn’t inquire further about Ye Fan’s activities in Africa but changed the topic, “The appointment notice for the deputy manager of your Biomedical company’s HR department has been issued.”

During the days Ye Fan was away from Hua Hai, the Emali Group underwent significant changes: securing hefty investments from Hua Chang Investment Fund, the stock of the Emali Group surged, not only reclaiming lost ground but also enjoying consecutive days at the trading limit.

Gong Yongfu, the former second-largest shareholder, and Sun Yuan, the former third-largest shareholder, were ousted from the group’s management by Li Zhaojun and were relegated to being mere dividend-receiving shareholders.

Li Zhaojun took absolute control of the entire Emali Group.

Emali Biomedical Technology Company was officially registered.

Ye Fan initially had Robert Laurenson, an ace American Wall Street trader, invest one and a half billion to purchase twelve percent of Emali Group’s shares, which had now skyrocketed several times in value, worth over five billion.

“Hmm,” Ye Fan responded indifferently.

Li Zhaojun didn’t like the lazy, carefree expression on Ye Fan’s face.

With a slight chill in her voice, she said, “Having secured an important position, I hope I don’t have anyone reporting to me about needing to dismiss you one day.”

“I can’t guarantee that,” Ye Fan replied, “I can’t have a gun trained on their heads all the time.”

“No sense of responsibility!” Li Zhaojun retorted coldly.
