Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!
Chapter 548: Apology!

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Apology!

Ye Zhongshan had always been as steady as Mount Tai, but now, he had actually lost his composure.

He leaped out of bed and moved his body freely without any hindrance; his condition was as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.

You have to know, his injuries had been examined by two Saint Physicians, countless extraordinary figures, using endless precious Spiritual Medicines, and various methods, but none were able to cure him.

Yet now, in this small Yancheng, a young man had cured him in just two hours.

This was simply unbelievable.

Ye Zhongshan prided himself on being able to control everything, but this outcome had greatly exceeded his expectations.

He quickly approached Zhou Yu, and seeing Zhou Yu’s pale face, he was full of gratitude.

"Zhou Yu, are you alright?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I’m fine, just a bit overexerted."

"This time, thank you."

"I will remember this kindness."

The simple four words, coming from Ye Zhongshan’s mouth, were heavier than Mount Tai.

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Mr. Ye, your body has not fully recovered yet. You will need to continue medication and treatment. I will give you a prescription, follow it, and you will be cured after half a year."

"However, the vital energy you have lost over the years cannot be replenished."

"Zhou Yu, what do you mean by that?" Ye Zhongshan asked.

Zhou Yu fell silent for a moment, then said:

"The vital energy you’ve lost over the years is roughly equivalent to five years of lifespan. This is irreversible."

In other words, because of his injuries, Ye Zhongshan is going to live about five years less than he would have otherwise.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhongshan was utterly unconcerned, only laughing lightly.

"Haha, only five years, for someone on the verge of death, I’ve made a great profit."

...

Outside the ward.

Ye Mengyun paced back and forth anxiously.

From time to time, she looked towards the door of the ward, muttering to herself,

"If something happens to my grandfather, I will never let you off..."

Li Shuangshuang, standing beside her, was speechless.

"Miss Ye, don’t worry, with Zhou Yu stepping in, you can be completely at ease."

Ye Mengyun glanced at Li Shuangshuang.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in him."

Li Shuangshuang said proudly,

"Of course, if you weren’t confident, you wouldn’t have come to ask for Zhou Yu’s help."

"I..."

Ye Mengyun was about to retort, when suddenly, the door to the ward swung open.

The words that had reached Ye Mengyun’s mouth were swallowed back down.

Her gaze reflexively fixed on the doorway, her heart in her throat.

She feared the next moment would bring an outcome she did not want to see.

In that brief second, which felt as long as a century,

Ye Zhongshan and Zhou Yu then appeared together.

Shockingly, it was Ye Zhongshan supporting Zhou Yu, the complete opposite situation from when they had first entered the ward.

Ye Mengyun was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed over.

"Grandfather."

"Your health..."

Ye Zhongshan chuckled.

"Thanks to Zhou Yu, my injuries are already greatly improved."

Ye Mengyun’s face was a picture of shock.

"Greatly improved?"

"Really?"

Although it was what she hoped for the most, when the result truly materialized, disbelief was still her first reaction.

Her astonished gaze shifted to Zhou Yu, only to find him extremely pale.

As she stood there stupefied, Li Shuangshuang rushed over like the wind.

She held Zhou Yu’s hand tightly.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, what’s wrong with you?"

Li Shuangshuang was seeing Zhou Yu like this for the first time and her eyes were full of concern.

Zhou Yu managed a weak smile on his pale face.

"Just overexerted myself, I’ll be fine with some rest."

Li Shuangshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death, I thought you were about to..."

"About to what?" Zhou Yu asked with a touch of amusement.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s teasing look, Li Shuangshuang glared at him.

She was worried sick, and here Zhou Yu was, daring to tease her.

"Hmph, you’re so young and already so frail, you really need to take care of yourself. Otherwise, Miss Lin might mock you for being incompetent!"

"..."

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

He had not expected Li Shuangshuang to dare make such a joke.

At that moment, Ye Zhongshan cleared his throat and then, with a stern face, said:

"Mengyun, apologize to Zhou Yu."

Ye Mengyun was startled.

"Grandfather, you want me to apologize to him?"

"What’s the problem?" Ye Zhongshan asked sternly.

In her heart, Ye Mengyun was somewhat reluctant, but Zhou Yu had saved her grandfather’s life, making him her benefactor as well.

Without hesitation, she turned to Zhou Yu and bowed deeply.

"Thank you."

"I was wrong just now."

"Please, forgive me."

It was not easy to make this proud young lady bow her head.

Zhou Yu spoke indifferently,

"Ignorance is not a sin."

"I haven’t taken it to heart."

Hearing this, Ye Mengyun was infuriated.

What did Zhou Yu’s words mean?

Was he mocking her for being unworldly?

This guy really had the gall.

If her grandfather weren’t there, she would’ve given Zhou Yu a piece of her mind.

Ye Mengyun raised her head, looking at Zhou Yu, and said word by word,

"In the future, I must seek more advice from Divine Doctor Zhou."

Ye Zhongshan knew Ye Mengyun’s character too well; he knew this girl was not convinced deep down.

He spoke with weight and seriousness,

"Mengyun, I’ve told you before that there’s always someone better out there."

"Though the Capital City is a gathering place of talents, over the past thousands of years, few of those with significant influence have come from the Capital City. The reasons behind this, you should reflect on them more."

Ye Mengyun responded perfunctorily,

"Grandfather, I understand."

As they were talking, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang.

It was an unknown number.

Zhou Yu pressed the answer button.

From the phone came a cold and angry voice.

"Zhou Yu!"

Zhou Yu’s eyebrows furrowed.

"Yan Bin?"
