Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Mayor Jiang’s Attempt to Please

Plunk!

When Jiang Qi knelt down, the entire private room seemed to have had the mute button hit, deathly silent.

Only the dull thud of his knees hitting the floor was shockingly piercing, shaking the hearts of everyone present!

Especially Xing Shanhu and his men, who stared with wide eyes and gaping mouths, large enough to fit an egg.

The expressions on their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost, filled with nothing but disbelief.

Jiang Qi was the legitimate grandson of the Jiang Family, the future successor of the family. His pride was immense; how could he lower himself to see a peer as an equal?

Let alone a peer, even if the clan leaders of the four major families of East Sea City gathered, or he faced a person from one of the three Families of the Jianghai Six Provinces, Jiang Qi would never kneel!

But now, he was kneeling in front of Ye Xuan, and this scene was truly unfolding before everyone’s eyes, leaving no room for doubt.

Xing Shanhu felt as if his brain had stopped working, his heart almost terrified to death.

"Brother Ye, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have offended you before! Please overlook my minor faults, I am begging you, Jiang Qi, please save my grandfather!"

Jiang Qi said all this in one breath, his face showing an extremely complex expression.

Although he was a proud and arrogant young master, often overbearing in his actions, he was not ignorant of the principles. He knew the importance of his grandfather to the Jiang Family better than anyone.

If his grandfather really passed away, the Jiang Family would crumble without this lion, and he, Jiang Qi, would lose all his support.

Of course, apart from self-interest, deep down, Jiang Qi did not want his grandfather to die.

When he was young, his grandfather had always been very loving toward him. It was only after he became increasingly reckless that his grandfather became disappointed in him.

After all, it was all because he himself was not capable enough!

Beside him, seeing his son speak these words, Jiang Jianguo’s stern face softened, revealing a trace of relief.

A father knows his son best, and Jiang Jianguo understood his son better than anyone.

His son was just rather playful, a bit childlike in nature. Ultimately, Jiang Qi’s nature was not bad, and he cared deeply for his relatives! His kindness was merely obscured by his reckless appearance, unnoticed by others.

And Jiang Jianguo believed this incident would lead to considerable growth in his son.

At that moment, Ye Xuan looked at Jiang Qi with surprise and said indifferently, "Alright, get up."

For someone like Jiang Qi, a reckless young master, his reputation meant everything, and asking him to kneel was more painful than killing him.

Although Jiang Jianguo had pressured him, the fact that he actually knelt down to save his grandfather did make Ye Xuan think highly of him.

It seemed this young man was not beyond redemption; in Ye Xuan’s view, a person who valued family could not be all that bad!

"Thank you, Brother Ye!"

Seeing that Ye Xuan allowed him to stand so quickly, Jiang Qi’s face showed gratitude, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan no longer held anger, instead it was filled with admiration and reverence.

Previously, he had harbored some resentment, but Ye Xuan’s words had undoubtedly saved his face!

If Ye Xuan had been merciless and made him kneel all night, he would have had to comply.

Ye Xuan casually waved his hand, then looked at Jiang Jianguo and asked with a frown, "How is the old man’s condition now?"

After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Jiang Jianguo’s expression brightened, knowing that the other party had agreed to help. He quickly said, "Thanks to Mr. Ye’s miraculous medical technique, a resurrection from death! After the medicine pills and catalysts were administered to my father, his condition has temporarily stabilized, but it can only last for three days!"

At this point, Jiang Jianguo’s expression turned grim, a hint of darkness flashing across his eyes.

"Three days? I gave you three medicine pills, why can it only last for three days?" Ye Xuan frowned and asked.

Caught in this question, Jiang Jianguo, embarrassingly and helplessly, divulged the truth.

After Ye Xuan heard this, he was so angry that his nose almost went crooked. He said unhappily, "Not only are the people of your Jiang Family lacking insight, but they also recklessly waste such precious items! Do you know the value of a single medicine pill? I painstakingly produced three, yet you squander them like this! Are you trying to infuriate me?"

Reprimanded by Ye Xuan, Jiang Jianguo was so embarrassed that he couldn’t utter a word, rubbing his hands and standing there like a scolded schoolchild.

If this had happened a day earlier, Jiang Jianguo would have definitely turned around and walked away.

However, having witnessed the effect of the medicine pills, he knew that Ye Xuan wasn’t spouting nonsense. A single pill could extend a dying man’s life by three days, truly a magical cure that could bring back the dead, worth its weight in gold.

If these were available on the market, even at high prices, they would undoubtedly be frantically snatched up by all the wealthy tycoons—priceless!

The scene of Jiang Jianguo being scolded by Ye Xuan struck fear into the hearts of everyone present, their hearts thumping wildly, standing in a daze.

Regardless of what others thought, at this moment, Jiang Jianguo felt quite ashamed.

After all, squandering those two pills could have extended his father’s life by six days, the thought pained him greatly!

Having vented his anger, Ye Xuan was left with no choice. Since the deed was already done, lamenting was pointless.

He paused thoughtfully before saying, "The herbs I wrote down for you last time are quite difficult to find; you haven’t prepared them yet, have you? My going now would be in vain! Here, I will give you two more pills to extend your father’s life. Once you’ve gathered the herbs, send someone to contact me, and I will completely cure Mr. Jiang’s illness!"

Hearing that Ye Xuan was giving him more medicine pills, Jiang Jianguo’s eyes lit up, a look of surprise spreading across his face.

Two medicine pills, which meant six more days! How could Jiang Jianguo not be excited?

Ye Xuan pulled out a small bottle from inside his clothing, poured out two pills, and handed them to Jiang Jianguo, saying, "Be careful this time, don’t lose them again!"

These pills were recently made by Ye Xuan from materials he had gathered on his body after using up the previous batch.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Accepting the medicine pills, Jiang Jianguo treasured them in his palms, as if afraid they would dissolve in his mouth or get lost in his hands, and he hurriedly asked his son to find a bottle to store them in.

When Jiang Qi brought over a bottle, Jiang Jianguo put the pills inside and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He put away the bottle and expressed his gratitude to Ye Xuan, "Mr. Ye, on behalf of the Jiang Family, I thank you! If my father truly is cured, you will be our family’s great benefactor!"

Saying this, he slightly bowed to Ye Xuan, his face serious:

"From now on, whatever Mr. Ye needs, the Jiang Family will support you fully! We are willing to be at your beck and call!!!"

Wow!

With those words, the atmosphere in the entire private room exploded, leaving everyone too shocked to speak.

What had they heard?

The Jiang Family promised Ye Xuan, agreeing to his every request, and even willing to be driven like pawns!

Everyone knew the Jiang Family was a major power in East Sea City, and Jiang Qi was a famously dissolute Crown Prince, not to mention Mayor Jiang’s prominent status. Yet, in front of Ye Xuan, they were eagerly currying favor!

If this news got out, who knows how many jaws would drop!
