The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 193: I’ve Taken a Fancy to You

Chen Bin never expected the other party to start with an explosive accusation.

Frightened, he shook his head repeatedly.

"Cousin, you’ve misunderstood me. My sister and I are just siblings, nothing more..."

Before he could finish, Yuan Qian snorted coldly.

"Stop pretending. Feng Lei already told me about how you seduced my cousin. If it weren’t for you, would they have even divorced?"

Faced with her aggressive accusations, Chen Bin felt as though he were sitting on pins and needles.

Xu Ruoxuan quickly noticed his discomfort and hurriedly chimed in.

"Sis, don’t believe Feng Lei’s nonsense. There’s nothing between Xiao Bin and me..."

"Ruoxuan, are you planning to lie to me too?"

Under Yuan Qian’s questioning gaze, Xu Ruoxuan clamped her mouth shut, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing the awkward expressions on both their faces, Yuan Qian continued speaking.

"Kid, while I don’t think highly of you, I can sense love in Ruoxuan’s eyes when she looks at you. Feng Lei is a worthless man—you must not repeat his mistakes!"

Chen Bin stood up immediately and said, "Please rest assured, cousin, I will definitely make my sister happy!"

Seeing his resolute gaze, Yuan Qian finally nodded her head.

"You’d better not be saying this just to please me. If I ever find out you let Ruoxuan down, I won’t let you off!"

"Alright, I understand!"

"Alright, sit down. What can I do for you?"

Once seated again, Chen Bin exhaled deeply in relief.

Then, he took out the medical scans and diagnosis report of Ding Zi’s mother and handed them over.

"I want to ask if there’s any hope for treating this illness."

Yuan Qian first took out the scans from the bag to examine, then flipped through the diagnosis report.

Finally, she spoke calmly.

"This illness has been present for at least a year. If surgery had been performed at the onset, I’d have had a 70% chance of success. But after such a long delay, the success rate is no more than 30%."

"Can it be treated conservatively?"

"No! Without surgery, the patient will live only two years at most, and those years would be incredibly painful."

"If surgery is performed, how much would it roughly cost?"

After a brief thought, Yuan Qian extended her fair hand, slowly raising five fingers.

"At least half a million, and even then, it’s not guaranteed to succeed."

Hearing this answer, Chen Bin fell silent instantly.

Noticing his expression, Yuan Qian asked, "What’s your relationship with the patient?"

"She’s my colleague’s mother. Their family is financially struggling and can only afford treatment at the County Hospital. I felt deeply sorry for them, so I wanted to lend a hand."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Qian furrowed her brows, her expression showing reluctance.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoxuan quickly interjected.

"Sis, can you lend a hand and perform the surgery yourself? After all, the patient’s situation is very dire."

"You’re not even married into my family yet, and you’re already siding with outsiders!"

Giving Xu Ruoxuan a sharp glare, Yuan Qian turned her gaze back to Chen Bin.

"Let me be frank with you—I’ve been targeted for revenge by patients’ families after failed surgeries before. If the success rate is below 50%, I won’t take on the operation."

Chen Bin immediately countered.

"This situation is different. If she doesn’t have surgery, she’s essentially facing a dead end. There’s no reason for her family to cause trouble. Plus, I can mediate between you, ensuring they won’t bother you."

Yuan Qian was prepared to refuse again, but seeing Xu Ruoxuan’s pleading gaze, she ultimately sighed.

"Give me a contact number. I’ll think it over and get back to you."

After Yuan Qian left, Chen Bin and Xu Ruoxuan wandered around a nearby mall.

After a long night of effort, Yuan Qian called the next morning.

"I’m willing to take on the surgery, but I must meet the patient’s family first. Otherwise, failed surgery could lead to significant trouble."

"No problem. I’ll get in touch with my colleague right away. Where should we meet?"

"At Yanxi University’s First Affiliated Hospital—I’ve already made arrangements."

"Alright, got it!"

After hanging up the call, Chen Bin noticed Xu Ruoxuan was still asleep, so he didn’t wake her.

He sent a message to Cheng Zhuang, asking him to pick him up at the hotel entrance.

Using the spare time, Chen Bin got ready and left a few messages for Xu Ruoxuan.

On the way to Dragon Mountain County, Chen Bin also texted Ma Juan to borrow 300,000 yuan.

Part of the 300,000 yuan he previously tricked out of Wu Liang had already been spent, so he needed another 300,000 to round up the total.

In Ma Juan’s eyes, her ability to become Tianhai’s distributor for Bailing Wine was entirely thanks to Chen Bin.

Since Chen Bin took the initiative to ask for help now, Ma Juan didn’t hesitate to lend the money.

Once the funds were secured, Cheng Zhuang soon arrived at Dragon Mountain’s People Hospital with Chen Bin in tow.

Seeing Chen Bin, Ding Zi appeared visibly surprised.

She immediately said, "Secretary Chen, my dad told me about your visit to check on my mom last Friday. We’re truly grateful to you."

Indeed, an ice-cold beauty remains an ice-cold beauty—even her words of gratitude lacked any warmth.

Nonetheless, Chen Bin didn’t have time to dwell on that and quickly said, "Get the hospital to arrange transport for your mom right away. I’ve made connections at Yanxi University’s First Affiliated Hospital, and there’s a chance your mother’s illness can be treated."

Hearing this, Ding Zi was completely stunned.

The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice for her mother—how could there still be hope for treatment?

But Yanxi University’s First Affiliated Hospital had a stellar reputation. Maybe there really was a chance?

Thinking this over, she didn’t hesitate and immediately went to find the doctor.

Soon, Dragon Mountain County Hospital arranged an ambulance to transport Ding Zi’s family to the city.

Chen Bin then asked Cheng Zhuang to follow behind in his car.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they mentioned Yuan Qian’s name, and the staff quickly arranged a room for Ding Zi’s mother.

While filling out admission procedures, Chen Bin noticed Ding Zi looking worried and directly transferred 500,000 yuan to her via WeChat.

"Quickly take care of it—the patient’s needs come first!"

Seeing the transfer notification, Ding Zi’s eyes turned red, brimming with gratitude.

Still, thinking about her mother in the hospital bed, she decided not to say much and hurried off to pay the medical fees.

Witnessing this, Yuan Qian frowned slightly.

"You’re not seriously falling for her, are you?"

Chen Bin quickly denied it, "How could I? She’s ten years older than me!"

"So what? You still ended up with Ruoxuan, didn’t you?"

"I just felt sorry for her and loaned her the money first. Besides, I already have my sister—why would I look at another woman?"

"You’d better mean that!"

With a cold snort, Yuan Qian entered the hospital room first, followed closely by Chen Bin.

Once Ding Zi returned after paying, Chen Bin introduced them.

"Mr. Ding, this is Yuan Qian, the deputy dean and Yanxi Province’s leading expert in neurosurgery." freewёbnoνel.com

"Thank you, Dean Yuan!"

Ding Zi and her father immediately expressed gratitude toward Yuan Qian.

Yuan Qian responded expressionlessly, staring at the pair.

"Please step out of the room with me."

Outside the hospital room, Yuan Qian explained the surgery’s success rate and potential risks in detail.

"Dean Yuan, rest assured, no matter what the outcome, our family will never give you any trouble," Ding Zi reassured quickly.

Her father nodded repeatedly as well.

"The operation offers a faint glimmer of hope, whereas no surgery leaves us with none. Regardless of the result, you’ll have our gratitude."

Seeing their understanding, Yuan Qian finally continued, "Alright, once work resumes tomorrow, I’ll coordinate with other hospital specialists to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and aim to operate soon."

"Thank you, Dean Yuan."

"No need to thank me—I wouldn’t have accepted such a high-risk surgery without Chen Bin’s persuasion."

Hearing this, Ding Zi and her father exchanged astonished glances.

Back in the hospital room, Ding Zi pulled Chen Bin outside again.

"Why are you helping me when we’re not even related?"

Chen Bin answered earnestly, "If I told you it’s because I’ve fallen for you, would you believe me?"
