Chapter 2737: Chapter 2737: Suhang City

"So, your uncle’s family is short on money?"

Fang Bai asked.

Gu Hai nodded and said, "My two cousins have met with so many potential spouses, but each time it’s the same story—no house, no car, and the bride price demanded is too high, so it falls through. They’ve been dragging it out until now..."

"Both cousins work in the city, barely saving any money each year. That’s why, in recent years, my uncle often goes out to sea, hoping to save enough for their marriages and starting a family... but it’s not enough!"

Gu Hai talked a lot about his uncle’s family but then thought about his own situation, which seemed even worse than his uncle’s, and he sighed.

Fang Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, your sister’s illness will definitely be cured!"

When they arrived at Uncle Gu Yuan’s house, both of them were having a meal. Gu Hai said to Gu Yuan, "Uncle, Brother Fang insisted on coming along to thank you for saving his life."

Gu Yuan was an honest and simple man, and his two sons were similar, with an average family background, which is why they have not married and started families.

"Thank me for what! It’s what I should do!"

Gu Yuan waved his hand and shook his head when he heard Fang Bai had come to thank him.

"I don’t like owing favors, so if there’s something to thank for, we must express gratitude."

Fang Bai smiled, looked around at Gu Yuan’s house, saw the plain white walls, and the lack of furniture, and asked, "How much does it cost to marry and settle for two brides here?"

Gu Yuan, thinking of his two sons, blushed and couldn’t find the words to speak.

It was his outspoken wife who said, "It’s really difficult to get a bride these days! Here, brides demand an eighteen thousand dowry, a house in the county, a car costing at least a hundred thousand, and preferably a stable job... when you tally all this up, not even a million is enough..."

She wiped her tears and, choking back a sob, said, "My two sons are really worrying me to death. I have no other wishes now, just to see them marry and have children before I close my eyes..."

Seeing his wife start crying, Gu Yuan smiled helplessly at Fang Bai and began comforting her quietly.

Fang Bai said, "Let’s say marrying a wife costs two million per person, so your two sons need about four million... alright, don’t worry, I’ll bring the money over tomorrow."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Gu Hai was stunned, carefully pondering Fang Bai’s words, said goodbye to his uncle, then hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother Fang, what did you mean by what you just said... you want to give money to my uncle?"

Gu Hai asked.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "Yes. He saved my life, I solve a small problem for him, it’s a fair trade."

"But... that’s four million..."

Gu Hai widened his eyes, thinking that although Brother Fang was an actor, he didn’t seem very famous. Does he actually have that much money and is willing to give it to his uncle without a second thought?

"Is four million a lot?"

Fang Bai has never cared much about worldly money and thought that if a problem could be solved with money, then it wasn’t a problem at all. There were many ways for him to make money.

"Of course, it’s a lot... I probably wouldn’t earn that much in a lifetime..."

Gu Hai muttered softly.

Fang Bai laughed heartily, patted Gu Hai’s shoulder and said, "You don’t earn it, I can give you some, enough for your family to never worry about food and clothes!"

Gu Hai waved his hand and said, "I... I don’t want it..."

"You don’t want it but you’ll have to take it! That’s settled!"

Fang Bai said firmly.

Next, Gu Hai took Fang Bai to other fishermen’s homes, and their situations were similar to Gu Hai’s uncle’s—lacking money, taking life-threatening risks to fish out at sea regularly.

"Lacking money is good... lacking money is good..."

Fang Bai whispered with a smile, thinking that this favor was probably the easiest to repay.

"Gu little brother, you should go home first. I need to go out for a bit, I’ll be back first thing in the morning. Then we’ll head to Yanjing together."

Fang Bai said to Gu Hai and then strode away.

After leaving Gu Family Village, he checked that there was no one around and immediately soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Suhang City, more than a hundred kilometers away from Gu Family Village, is the provincial capital of Zhejiang East Province, a first-tier city in Huaxia, with a population of nearly ten million.

Suhang First Hospital’s emergency room, Zhejiang East’s billionaire Song Qingshan was undergoing emergency surgery due to an acute cerebral hemorrhage.

Song Qingshan’s wife and daughter, along with more than a dozen relatives, were nervously pacing in the hallway outside. His wife, Feng Ling, cried silently with folded hands, praying for her husband.

Suddenly, the emergency room door opened, and a doctor walked out with a grim expression.

"Doctor Li, how is Qingshan?"

Feng Ling quickly stepped up to Doctor Li and asked urgently.

"Mrs. Feng, I’m sorry, we’ve done our best..."

Doctor Li took off his mask and sighed lightly.

Feng Ling’s legs gave out, and if it weren’t for her quick-eyed children supporting her, she would have collapsed to the floor.

"Doctor Li, please save my Qingshan, if he’s gone, what will become of us...?"

Feng Ling held Doctor Li’s arm and begged in sobs.

Doctor Li apologized with a sympathetic expression, "Mrs. Feng, I’m truly sorry..."

Feng Ling was filled with despair, covering her face with her hands, she burst into tears.

Her son and daughter behind her also had tears streaming down their faces.

More than a dozen relatives from the Song and Feng families showed expressions of sorrow.

"Do you want your husband to live?"

At that moment, a figure of a young man in white appeared in the hallway, his clear voice echoed in Feng Ling’s ears.

The young man spoke as he strode up to Feng Ling.

"You... what did you say?"

Already losing her sanity, Feng Ling heard the young man’s words like grabbing on to a lifeline and asked.

The young man in white smiled slightly and said, "I said... I can save your husband."

"Who are you?"

Beside her, Doctor Li glared at Fang Bai, angrily questioning.

The young man in white responded, "My name is Fang Bai. You don’t know me, but your master Huang Tianpeng definitely does!"

Doctor Li was stunned, then even more angered and said, "You... dare to directly call my master by name! That’s disrespectful!"

The young man in white chuckled, "Huang Tianpeng, one of Huaxia’s four National Doctors, a towering figure in the world of Western medicine, a leading expert in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular fields, known alongside Ren Juedao as ’South Tianpeng, North Juedao’... I wonder if what I said is correct?"

Fang Bai casually revealed many facts about Huang Tianpeng, some even involving Huang Tianpeng’s privacy, parts of which Doctor Li had never heard before.

Doctor Li was the direct disciple of one of Huaxia’s four National Doctors, Huang Tianpeng, and his medical skills had acquired seventy to eighty percent of his master’s knowledge, making him a rising star in Huaxia’s medical community, with his reputation nearing that of his mentor.

Therefore, when Feng Ling heard the words "we’ve done our best" from his mouth, she felt despair.
