Chapter 8: Chapter 8 This is a Golden Thigh!
Zhao Tianlong, who had followed along, was instantly unsettled when he heard Xia Hao say that Ye Fan had saved him!
"Mr. Xia, you must be mistaken, right? This is the Ye Family's imbecile, how could he possibly have medical skills to save people?" Zhao Tianlong hurriedly spoke out to dissuade Xia Hao, "Let's go! Mr. Xia, you must have also heard about the Ye Family's situation, you're definitely mistaken, and it's best not to get involved with the Ye Family right now!"
The core members of the Ye Family—all ten descendants—had fallen within a single day; this news had already spread throughout Great Xia and was no longer a secret.
Xia Hao stared intently at Ye Fan, examining him from top to bottom, and shook his head with certainty, "I am not mistaken! Five years ago, when I was on the brink of death, it was the divine doctor who saved me... But how has the divine doctor become an imbecile after a few years?"
Curious, Xia Hao turned his gaze to Su Yixue standing beside Ye Fan, and Su Yixue quickly spoke up, "Mr. Xia, my fiancé had a car accident five years ago, which affected his intelligence. That's why he has become like this now!"
Su Yixue detailed Ye Fan's situation to Xia Hao, who, after adding up the before and after, nodded, "Then there is no mistake. Young Master Ye was indeed a prodigious talent before, with martial arts and medical skills second to none. According to the timeline, it was after treating me that he met with the car accident—there's no way it's wrong!"
The Ye Family was almost wiped out, and the seven stunning sisters-in-law married the Ye Family's imbecile.
This incident had already begun to captivate the entire Great Xia. While everyone felt sorry for the Ye Family, they also admired those seven stunning sisters-in-law.
Xia Hao had not expected that the very person who saved his life back then would be the youngest master of the Ye Family.
"Miss Su, it seems your family is in the medical business? Are you interested in forming a partnership with my Xia Family?" Xia Hao's piercing gaze settled on Su Yixue, and his words left everyone around them dumbstruck.
What does this mean?
Was Xia Hao planning on handing over immense wealth directly to them?

"Ah? Mr. Xia, do you mean you want to form a partnership with our Su Family?" Su Yixue could hardly contain her excitement, "But, due to the Ye Family's circumstances, we've already been boycotted by all the major partners. Those against the Ye Family will crush us to death. Partnering with us will implicate you as well!"
Zhao Tianlong, who was standing to the side, began to panic, "Yes! Mr. Xia, those who are against the Ye Family are not ones we can afford to provoke. It would be better for you to choose to partner with our Zhao Family instead?"
Zhao Tianlong was so anxious that he felt like grabbing Xia Hao and pulling him away.
After all the effort he had put into organizing such a grand banquet, to ultimately end up benefitting the Su Family?
Originally, he could have killed Ye Fan and smoothly taken Su Yixue into his arms. But if the Su Family were to partner with the Xia Family, they would inevitably grow into Cloud City's leading family in a short time, making it virtually impossible for him to win over Su Yixue.
"Hmph! What does it matter if I'm implicated? If Young Master Ye hadn't saved Mr. Xia's life back then, I would have been but a heap of yellow soil by now, and the Xia Family wouldn't be where it is today," Xia Hao retorted before looking at Su Yixue, "Besides, if Miss Su and Yu Linglong, along with so many other brave women, haven't abandoned the Ye Family, why should I fear anything?"
"Miss Su, it's settled then! The Su Family will be the Xia Family's only partner in Cloud City. All of the Xia Family's channels will be fully open to the Su Family! In the entire Southwestern Region, anyone who opposes the Su Family is opposing the Xia Family!" Xia Hao raised his voice, loudly announcing his decision.
Such an unexpectedly joyous surprise left Su Yixue and Su Honghai, among others, somewhat stunned.
"This... who would've thought that imbecile would bring such a huge surprise to the Su Family?" Su Minghao also began to see Ye Fan in a more favorable light.
Envy filled the eyes of the surrounding guests.
"The Ye Family is indeed still the Ye Family, despite their decline, their foundation remains!"
"Yes! Ye Fan, as the prodigious talent of his time, still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve... Who would have thought Ye Fan had such amazing medical skills? Since he saved Xia Hao, he must have saved many other big shots too—that's no small resource!"
"It's Su Yixue's foresight that's admirable, but now it remains to be seen how those who boycotted the Su Family will respond!"
The Su Family turned the situation around in an instant, and everyone's attitude towards the Ye Family changed.
Though Ye Fan was an imbecile, the Ye Family might still have hope.
What if one day Ye Fan suddenly recovered?
Xia Hao announced his decision and, turning around, bowed respectfully to Ye Fan. "Divine Doctor, once again, thank you for saving my life back then! The Xia Family has limited capabilities, and this is all the help we can offer. Please forgive us, Divine Doctor!"
Although the Xia Family is a superfamily of the Southwestern Region, Xia Hao knew that the people operating behind the scenes who acted against the Ye Family this time were at least those colossal figures from the Capital, entities the Xia Family dare not provoke.
"You helped my wife, you are a good man! Hug!" Ye Fan stared at Xia Hao in front of him, finally remembering who he was.
Five years ago, before Ye Fan was in a car accident, during a trip to the Provincial City, he accidentally encountered Xia Hao, who was being pursued and murdered. At that time, Xia Hao was poisoned and stabbed several times, barely clinging to life. Ye Fan saved him and took his life back, and also casually killed those assassins hunting Xia Hao.
Having his life saved, the Xia Family soared to great heights over the next few years.
Xia Hao hugged Ye Fan with a sense of regret and patted him on the back, "Ah, Divine Doctor, how did you end up like this? Don't worry, you will definitely be able to recover!"
No sooner had Xia Hao's words fallen than a faint voice suddenly rang in his ear, "You did well, I will not shortchange you!"
Huh?
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Xia Hao's body instantly stiffened, and he stood frozen in place.
Was that the Divine Doctor's voice?
"Divine Doctor, this..."
Xia Hao and Ye Fan separated, and Xia Hao looked at Ye Fan with a shocked face.
Ye Fan did not say anything, but simply nodded at Xia Hao with a subtle curve of his lips!
Xia Hao was utterly shocked. The Divine Doctor wasn't foolish? But why was he pretending to be foolish?
Xia Hao was always an incredibly astute man, and thinking about the Ye Family's plight, he understood instantly.
Ye Fan was concealing his strength, deliberately hiding his edge, so that he could avoid being pursued by his enemies, wasn't he?
Indeed it was clever!
One could imagine, if not because Ye Fan was acting the fool, with the Ye Family being utterly destroyed today, could Ye Fan have escaped?
Xia Hao broke out in a cold sweat, remembering that night five years ago when he was chased by dozens of Martial Arts masters. Those assassins, so formidable in their skills, were effortlessly killed by a fifteen-year-old boy.
Young Master Ye's strength was already so terrifying back then, so what terrifying Realm has Young Master Ye's strength reached now?
With such capabilities, means, and strategies, and his heavenly-level medical expertise, this monstrous prodigy who understood the art of concealing his edge, it probably wouldn't be long before the Ye Family would rise again, right?
Those who targeted the Ye Family, those who distanced themselves from the Ye Family, are likely in for bad luck!
And Ye Fan's choice to reveal this information to him meant that Young Master Ye trusted him.
Vaguely, Xia Hao felt like he had latched onto a golden thigh.
By choosing to support the Ye Family and the Su Family at this time, the Xia Family would surely become one of the superpower families dominating Great Xia in the future.
Thinking of all this, Xia Hao struggled to conceal the excitement in his heart and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye, rest assured, I, Mr. Xia, will certainly spare no effort and shun no duty!"
As for Ye Fan's identity, since Young Master Ye wished to keep it under wraps, naturally, he had his reasons, and Xia Hao wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal it!
"What... what should I do? Mr. Xia, what about our cooperation we previously agreed upon?" Zhao Tianlong on the side was jumping with anxiety, feeling like a clown...
