Chapter 91: Ren Ye, the Old Fox
"Your master’s death is somewhat related to me. Don’t you want to avenge him? And what about your senior brother Lu Zhan’s severed finger..."
Lu Yuan shook his head. "I actually went to the banquet at Sully as well. I was with the Su Family’s medical team, so I know the whole story. Besides, I understand my master better than you do. I’m well aware of the kind of person he was and the things he did."
Although Lu Yuan was engrossed in medical arts, he wasn’t truly indifferent to everything else. He knew that he needed to meet a variety of people in order to encounter an abundance of patients. He didn’t want to waste his time on ineffective socializing; he only interacted with people he found interesting. Targeted networking saved more time and achieved goals faster than mingling with everyone. He admired Li Rui’s obsession and deep dedication to the medical arts, and he also liked people like Fu Bing, who were willing to use their own influence to build a platform for doctors. Once Fu Bing’s platform was successfully established, she would become the most prominent public face in the medical field, and the entire healthcare sector could potentially become part of her network. The amount of power and benefits contained within it was immeasurable. This would certainly attract the envy and sabotage of countless people. If Fu Bing couldn’t protect herself, she would be in great danger.
Lu Yuan glanced at Wu Shi, who had been silent since he appeared, and asked in a hushed voice, "Can your bodyguard take a hit? I’m afraid you might be assassinated someday."
"He’ll be fine."
Behind Wu Shi were the Unjustly Deceased. Fu Bing was unclear what kind of organization it was, but from Lu Ji’s reaction that night, it was evident Wu Shi’s identity was extraordinary. She had never asked Wu Shi why he was willing to stay by her side. He was a benefactor to Aunt Ning and Uncle He, so it was not her place to question him. To her, he was not just a bodyguard, but a friend. He was free to come and go as he pleased. Even if he left, he would arrange for Mu He to protect her, which showed that he also placed her in a position of importance. Other things weren’t so important.
Shen Linxing listened to Fu Bing and Lu Yuan’s conversation throughout, without interjecting.
She found Fu Bing very charming; after being in close contact with her, it was hard to dislike her. Fu Bing was very tactful in her actions, and she didn’t create a sense of distance when interacting with others. She was the kind of woman that men would appreciate and other women would not envy. Of course, this didn’t exclude certain individuals with peculiar ideas from disliking her.
