I Am A Prodigy

Faced with the same disease where a person had to die, people would find a balance in their hearts. However, with Ye Lingchen’s appearance, he was able to pick who lived and who died. That would naturally cause unrest.

It would be fine if he had saved them in secret, but with the matter made public that way, many patients would go crazy if Ye Lingchen left them to die. It was just like how someone would fall into greater despair when they found a ray of hope, just to realize that it was far out of reach.

“The way to solve this issue is to have universal treatment. It needs to meet the expectations of the majority,” Qin Baichuan suggested. “That’s why the production of medicines has to be rushed.”

In order words, they needed to provide everyone with a reasonable short-term goal to not have them fall into despair.

In fact, that was not purely for Ye Lingchen as it would also affect the stability of the country. Otherwise, who knows what those patients would do if they went crazy.

That was especially the case if they should be led astray by some parties with ill intentions. It would only create a worse aftermath.

Human nature was scary. Otherwise, Ye Lingchen would not have needed to continuously raise his strength in order to survive.

Ye Lingchen nodded. The matter was not really severe. After all, once the pharmaceutical factory went into operation, he would be able to produce medicines that benefited the people. He had everything he needed. By that time, he might even be able to collect another wave of popularity points.

Moreover, with them stirring up the issue like that, his popularity points shot up once more. In one night, it went from 1.9 million to 4,268,651.

An increment of over two million popularity points.

The car drove steadily and entered an estate that was not far from the city.

The estate was huge, devoid of roads. It was all open fields, just like a park. In the middle of the estate was a fountain with a dolphin statue and running water.

The car finally pulled over in front of a quaint structure. The exterior designs seemed to be inspired by a castle with flowerbeds all around, filled with fresh flowers that tempted one to pick them. It seemed like a scene from a movie.

“Oh my, this place sure is luxurious,” Ye Lingchen could not resist commenting.

Although they were not in the heart of Capital City, it would still cost a huge sum to have an estate of this size. From the way the structure looked, this Grandmaster Hao was truly an expert.

“He’s the greatest architect in the country. Of course he wouldn’t be lacking money,” Qin Baichuan explained.

Ye Lingchen nodded. That was what it was like making a living based on his skills. When one’s skill reached the peak, earning money was just a piece of cake.

‘However, I’m much better off than this estate. I have an entire island!’ Ye Lingchen was filled with pride.

As soon as Ye Lingchen and Qin Baichuan got out of the car, a beautiful figure darted out of the house and rushed straight at Qin Baichuan, squealing coquettishly while holding onto his arm.

“Grandfather Qin, you’re here. I’ve already mastered the Kungfu you taught me last time.”

The young woman had a ponytail and wore a set of light grey sportswear that was matched with a pair of white sneakers. She was unlike other girls who seemed weak, but was instead filled with energy.

From the way she ran over, this young woman had some martial arts foundation.

“Hahaha, Yun’er, let me introduce you to someone of your age—”

“Ahhh, you’re God Ye?!”

Before Qin Baichuan could finish, Hao Yun was screaming with joy as she checked Ye Lingchen out with her beaming eyes. Without hesitation, she let go of Qin Baichuan’s arm and turned to hug Ye Lingchen. “God Ye, I’m your fan!”

Qin Baichuan’s heart tightened. “…”

“Hello.” Ye Lingchen returned with a smile. He never thought to run into a fan here. It seemed that his popularity and charm was quite far-reaching.

By then, Hao Yun’s hand was already placed on Ye Lingchen’s abdomen. She had a surprised expression. “Wah, it’s really hard. How did you train those muscles? This is a perfect body. Also, you look so much better in person!”

“Cough cough.” Ye Lingchen coughed lightly and quickly shifted backward.

However, Hao Yun had similarly taken a step forward. “Your fierce battle with the giant python was just too amazing. You must be really strong, right? Can you teach me Kungfu, please?”

The charming young woman behaved just as she dressed—filled with energy.

Ye Lingchen looked at Qin Baichuan helplessly.

“Hehe, Yun’er has loved to learn Kungfu since young. Lingchen, it’d be great if you can teach her.” Qin Baichuan chuckled, then started moving his lips silently, “She’s Grandmaster Hao’s granddaughter, the one that Grandmaster Hao favors the most. Act accordingly.”

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, then replied with a smile, “Of course.”

“Yun’er, we’re here to look for your grandfather. When the time comes, you need to help us persuade your grandfather. If you do that, I’m sure Lingchen will teach you everything he knows,” Qin Baichuan added.

“Leave that to me.” Hao Yun immediately guaranteed. “I will definitely help my idol!”

While conversing, the three of them entered the house.

They went past the hall, and before they even arrived at the backyard, they could hear an elderly person bellowing.

“Scram! Get out of here! If you can’t even save my Big Black, how dare you call yourselves the best vet in Capital City?”

Entering the backyard, Ye Lingchen saw a group of people gathered around a black native dog.

Native dog, or more accurately known as Chinese field hound, was a species of dog native to China. Unlike other pet dogs, they had a better connection with men. Once they acknowledged the owner, the bond was for life.

However, that black dog was lying on the floor, at its last breaths. Its tongue was stretched out as it tried to breathe with great difficulty.

Beside the black dog, an elderly person with white hair was glaring at the vets.

The vets had an awkward expression on their faces. One of them could not resist retorting, “Grandmaster Hao, we’ve tried our best. This dog is already 14 years old. Generally, dogs would only live about 10 to 15 years. 14 years is considered quite a long life. It’s not sick, just that its life is coming to an end. There’s really nothing we can do.”

Hearing that, Grandmaster Hao was stunned. He looked at Big Black in a daze, then stretched out his trembling hand as he whimpered. “Old, you’re truly old. Old friend, we’re both old. Are you really leaving me now?”

Big Black seemed to have felt Grandmaster Hao’s sadness and started whimpering.

The vets stood by helplessly. It was the same as a person passing and was all up to fate. It was not something that man could control.

“What’s wrong with Big Black?” Hao Yun, who was still lively a moment ago, suddenly changed her expression as she hurried over. At first, she thought it was just some minor sickness that the vets could take care of. She did not expect it to be that serious.

“You guys are the top vets in Capital city. Is there really no way? Please save Big Black. It’s very important to us. We really can’t bear to lose it!”

“This…” The vets looked helpless. “Miss Hao, it’s not that we don’t want to save it, but we can’t. It’s already fortunate to live up to 14 years. There’s nothing we can do to extend one’s lifespan. Our condolences…”
