Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Yuan Huaiyi and Yuan Yonglin_1

The young woman and others hurried forward, attempting to stop Elder Yuan.

How could someone of Elder Yuan’s status bow and bend the knee to others?

"Don’t worry about me! This young man saved my life, any form of gratitude I show him is well deserved."

Elder Yuan barked an order, halting the young woman and the others, and then began to bow to Ning Fan.

"Elder Yuan, please, there’s no need for such formalities."

Ning Fan said impassively, a wave of invisible force emanated from him, securely holding up Elder Yuan’s body just as he was about to bend, preventing him from bowing no matter how hard he tried.

Elder Yuan had no choice but to straighten up, looking at Ning Fan with a bit of surprise, then said, "Young man, I’ll express my thanks in another way. My name is Yuan Huaiyi, and this is my granddaughter, Yuan Yonglin. In the provincial city here, I have some influence. If you have any difficulties or needs, you’re welcome to let me know."

"Elder Yuan, no courtesy is necessary. My name is Ning Fan. I haven’t any particular needs. The reasons I helped you were, first, this car accident was somewhat related to me, and second, because you are a hero who has fought for our country," Ning Fan said earnestly.

"Mr. Ning, thank you for saving my grandfather. I was wrong to blame you before, and I hope you can forgive me," Yuan Yonglin also stepped forward to apologize to Ning Fan.

"It’s nothing."

Ning Fan shook his head and added, "Actually, I’ve only temporarily stabilized the bullet below your heart, Elder Yuan, to keep it from moving erratically. It’s merely a temporary solution, not a cure. To truly resolve the issue, the bullet still needs to be removed... However, we don’t have the conditions here and I don’t have the time. Next time I’ll come to remove the bullet for you."

"What? Young brother Ning, you can help me remove this bullet?" Yuan Huaiyi was instantly both shocked and delighted, and grabbed Ning Fan’s hand.

The bullet was in a particularly tricky spot, very close to his heart. Given Yuan Huaiyi’s status and prestige, he had consulted countless famous doctors over the decades yet found no one daring enough to operate. The pain under his ribs on rainy days was unbearable, every breath a twinge of pain. He’d had enough of the suffering the bullet caused him, so upon hearing Ning Fan could remove it, he was immediately so excited his blood pressure rose sharply.

"I don’t have a hundred percent certainty, perhaps around eighty to ninety percent," Ning Fan cautiously stated.

"Eighty to ninety percent? Young brother Ning, let’s go to the hospital now, and you can operate on me immediately!" Yuan Huaiyi, excited, started to drag Ning Fan away.

Eighty to ninety percent? The so-called famous doctors he had consulted before, at most, offered a fifty percent chance of success, so none dared to proceed.

"Grandpa, let’s think about the surgery for the long term. Even Mr. Ning said he doesn’t have time right now," Yuan Yonglin quickly advised.

While Ning Fan had saved Yuan Huaiyi’s life, for which she was grateful, she remained skeptical about Ning Fan performing surgery to remove the bullet.

The lead emergency doctor was even less convinced, also stepping forward to say, "Elder Yuan, you should come back to the hospital with us for a check-up first."

Unable to dissuade the group, Yuan Huaiyi had no choice but to get on the ambulance, but before leaving, he had Yuan Yonglin take down Ning Fan’s phone number, and he made an appointment with Ning Fan to discuss the bullet removal surgery in more detail after his hospital check-up.

...

After Yuan Huaiyi and the others left, Ning Fan went to a real estate sales center.

"You are... Ning Fan?"

As soon as he entered the sales center, a woman’s voice rang out.

Ning Fan looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young woman dressed in a tight-fitting blazer and pencil skirt looking at him with surprise.

"You are?" Ning Fan asked the woman, puzzled.

"I’m Yu Lu! We were middle school classmates! We even shared a desk, remember?" the woman quickly walked over and said.

"Yu Lu?"

Ning Fan recalled for a moment; indeed, he had a middle school classmate named Yu Lu.

Looking closely, he found about a seventy percent resemblance between her and the woman in front of him.

"Old classmate, it’s been a long time..." Yu Lu was very enthusiastic, immediately launching into a nonstop conversation with Ning Fan.

"Uh, I came here to buy a property."

After chatting for a while, Ning Fan cut to the chase.

He had been unremarkable in school, and due to some insecurity back then, he hadn’t paid much attention to the girls in class, not even Yu Lu, his deskmate.

"You’re here to buy a property?"

Yu Lu suddenly leaned in close to his ear, whispering softly, "I work for this developer, and I’ll let you in on a secret: their properties are very expensive, about two to three levels above comparable quality properties elsewhere. If you really want to buy, after I get off work, I can take you to a few high-cost performance properties..."

"Well, I’m not primarily concerned about the price. I’m looking to buy a standalone villa, preferably on a mountain, the more secluded the better," Ning Fan said somewhat sheepishly.

The reason he wanted a mountain villa was that mountainous areas typically had richer spiritual energy, and choosing a more secluded location was to avoid neighbors becoming curious about the effects of his Spirit Gathering Array.

"Huh? Old classmate, you’ve made it big?" Yu Lu exclaimed in surprise.

She then looked Ning Fan up and down.

The standalone villas here started at tens of millions at the very least. She hadn’t expected this unremarkable-looking old classmate, Ning Fan, to have such financial power?

Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong...

At that moment, Ning Fan’s phone suddenly played the sound of an incoming WeChat video call.

After connecting the call, Xu Yourong’s face appeared on the screen.

"Ning Fan, Qing Cheng says you left her behind and went to look at properties alone. Don’t let them overcharge you..."

Xu Yourong stopped mid-sentence because she noticed in the video that a pretty woman in a tight-fitting blazer and pencil skirt was standing very close to Ning Fan.
