Chapter 30 Feigning Illness

Jiang Yi was a man who repaid both vengeance and kindness.

His counselor had often called him useless over the years, yet Jiang Yi remained grateful for the counselor's care during his three years of university.

Jiang Yi hailed a car, intending to buy something to visit his counselor.

As he was about to get in, his phone rang.

Jiang Yi answered the call.

The call was from Chen Kun.

Chen Kun informed Jiang Yi that he had already spoken with the CEO of Tiansheng Group. If Jiang Yi was satisfied, they would immediately sign the acquisition agreement and acquire ten more companies to merge into Tiansheng Group.

If this deal succeeded, Tiansheng Group would become the largest company in Jiangcheng.

At that point, Jiang Yi would serve as the chairman.

"You can handle this as you see fit!" Jiang Yi said.

"Master Jiang, you might need to come in person."

Chen Kun, on the other end of the line, said, "The CEO of Tiansheng Group wants to ask a small favor."

After speaking, Chen Kun gave Jiang Yi the address.

Jiang Yi hung up and headed there by car.

Meanwhile, in the Tiansheng Group office.

Chairman Huang of Tiansheng Group looked worried.

"I've invited countless renowned doctors to treat my daughter, but her condition remains the same. Her illness has not been cured!" Chairman Huang sighed.

"Don't worry, Master Jiang is a divine doctor. There's no illness Master Jiang cannot cure," Chen Kun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen!"

Chairman Huang said, "If Master Jiang can cure my daughter's illness, I am willing to sell Tiansheng Group to you at a low price. My daughter is my lifeblood, more important than anything."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kun smiled slightly.

A moment later, the office door opened.

A woman in her twenties walked in from outside.

She was pure and beautiful, wearing a floral mini-skirt, an absolute stunner.

She was Chairman Huang's only daughter, Huang Yiyi.

"Dad, why did you call me to the company?" Huang Yiyi asked Chairman Huang.

"Young Master Chen knows a divine doctor, and I plan to have this divine doctor examine you. Perhaps your illness can be cured," Chairman Huang said dotingly to Huang Yiyi.

Huang Yiyi showed a hint of displeasure upon hearing this.

"This is Young Master Chen..."

Chairman Huang began to introduce Chen Kun.

"Hello, Young Master Chen..." Huang Yiyi greeted Chen Kun with a smile.

"Hello!"

Chen Kun replied, then began to size up Huang Yiyi.

"Chairman Huang, what illness does Miss Huang have? She looks very healthy," Chen Kun asked, puzzled.

"Yiyi looks healthy, but her illness is very serious. When it strikes, she faints and takes half a day to recover. Many famous doctors have seen her, but no cause has been found," Chairman Huang sighed deeply.

"Master Jiang will definitely be able to cure Miss Huang," Chen Kun said with certainty.

Chen Kun had witnessed Jiang Yi's abilities firsthand and had unwavering faith in his medical skills.

Huang Yiyi showed a hint of disdain.

"Knock, knock..."

The office door sounded.

"Come in!" Chairman Huang called out.

After the office door opened, the secretary entered and said to Chairman Huang, "Chairman, Master Jiang has arrived!"

Upon hearing that Jiang Yi had arrived, Chairman Huang quickly stood up, "Hurry and invite Master Jiang in, do not be negligent!"

"Yes!"

The secretary responded and retreated.

Chen Kun also stood up from his chair.

A moment later, the secretary returned.

Jiang Yi was following closely behind the secretary.

When Chairman Huang saw Jiang Yi, he was stunned.

Huang Yiyi let out a snicker.

"Young Master Chen, are you sure this is the divine doctor you mentioned?"

Huang Yiyi said smilingly to Chen Kun, "He's so young, yet he dares to call himself a divine doctor. He's probably worse than a quack."

Huang Yiyi burst into laughter.

Chairman Huang looked helpless and disappointed.

Jiang Yi was too young, and by no means did he look like a divine doctor with astonishing medical skills.

When Jiang Yi treated Elder Chen at the Chen family, it was also because Jiang Yi was too young that no one believed he had the ability to save people, thinking he was a fraud.

Chairman Huang and Huang Yiyi also saw Jiang Yi as a fraud the moment they laid eyes on him.

Jiang Yi did not care what they thought of him.

He had encountered this situation many times.

However, Chen Kun was displeased and said calmly to Chairman Huang, "Chairman Huang, you are being ungrateful. I kindly invited Master Jiang to treat your daughter, and this is the attitude you show."

"Young Master Chen, I did not mean to look down on Master Jiang."

Chairman Huang took a deep breath and said, "Master Jiang is so young, he cannot possibly cure my daughter's illness."

"Master Jiang is indeed very young, but his medical skills are astonishing. Do you know how many people wish they could invite Master Jiang but cannot? My father personally traveled from Lishi City to Jiangcheng to invite Master Jiang," Chen Kun said.

"I was indeed rash."

Chairman Huang apologized quickly.

He did not believe in Jiang Yi's medical skills, but he decided to let Jiang Yi try.

Seeing Chairman Huang apologize, Chen Kun stopped pressing the issue and turned to Jiang Yi, "Master Jiang, why don't you examine Miss Huang first."

"Mm."

Jiang Yi nodded and his gaze fell upon Huang Yiyi.

To avoid disturbing Jiang Yi, Chen Kun and Chairman Huang left the office together.

"You have quite the nerve! Trying to deceive me."

Huang Yiyi stared at Jiang Yi and said calmly, "I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I'll give you a hundred thousand, leave immediately, and don't let me see you again."

After speaking, Huang Yiyi tossed the card onto the table.

Jiang Yi chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Huang Yiyi frowned.

"You're not sick at all; you're faking it," Jiang Yi said.

These words startled Huang Yiyi.

Soon, Huang Yiyi recovered her composure.

"You really are a fraud. Why would I fake being sick when I'm perfectly fine?"

Huang Yiyi snorted and said, "Stop spouting nonsense here, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Huang Yiyi's tone was laced with anger.

"Stop pretending!"

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me. The reason you faint is because you've taken a drug that can induce a temporary state of suspended animation."

After speaking, Jiang Yi continued, "The medicine you took was refined by Sun Shenshou, correct!"

In all of China, only Sun Shenshou was capable of refining such peculiar medicines.

Huang Yiyi stood there as if carved from wood.

Jiang Yi had guessed everything correctly!

Huang Yiyi was indeed faking her illness. She had purchased the drug through special channels at a high price from a hospital run by Sun Shenshou.

"How do you know?" Huang Yiyi knew she could no longer keep up the pretense.

"After taking this medicine, your fingernails will develop purple spots. These spots will persist, and I can tell at a glance," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.

Huang Yiyi raised her hand and looked at her fingernails, finding purple spots indeed present.

Jiang Yi did not want to continue bothering Huang Yiyi and turned to walk out the door.
