Chapter 9

• Recovering Sensation
• Ever since his paralysis, Ye Shaodong had lost all feeling below his waist. So, when he regained sensation, he was naturally overjoyed.
• Ye Tian reassured him, saying, "Brother, you will soon regain control of your bodily functions."
• Ye Shaodong was taken aback and asked, "Can I control my bladder and bowel movements?"
• Ye Tian replied, "Just be patient a little longer."
• With a serious expression, Ye Tian inserted thirty-six silver needles into Ye Shaodong's body. As the needles stimulated his abdomen, Ye Shaodong began to feel warmth and swelling.
• After about ten minutes, he felt the urge to relieve himself. He exclaimed, "I can feel it!"
• Ye Tian smiled and said, "Brother, you will continue to improve."
• Ye Shaodong, a tough man, suddenly shed tears. Afraid that Yan Er would hear, he suppressed his crying.
• Ye Tian's eyes welled up as well. "Brother, don't cry. Yan Er might hear you."
• Ye Shaodong's body trembled violently before finally calming down. He had endured a life worse than death for three years. If it weren't for Yan Er, he might not have held on until now.
• Now that he saw hope for recovery, tears of joy streamed down his face.
• After Yan Er finished her meal, Ye Tian played with her for a while before sending her back to her room to sleep. He stayed in Ye Shaodong's room all night, taking care of him.
• During this time, he massaged and manipulated Ye Shaodong every hour to expedite his recovery. Previously, he had used the Xulong Divine Needles to reconnect some of Ye Shaodong's nerves. However, massage and medication were also necessary for a complete cure.
• The next morning, the nurse Lin Ziyi had hired for Ye Shaodong arrived. Ye Tian entrusted Ye Shaodong's care to him and took Yan Er to kindergarten.
• After dropping off Yan Er, he booked a room in a five-star hotel and called Lin Ziyi, asking her to meet him there.
• The hotel was conveniently located near Lin Ziyi's home, and she arrived within ten minutes, knocking on the door before entering.
• The two locked eyes and then embraced each other silently.
• "Where were you yesterday?" she asked.
• Ye Tian replied, "I went home to treat my older brother's injuries. Ziyi, thank you for taking care of my brother and Yan Er while I was away."
• Lin Ziyi said, "I couldn't personally take care of your brother, so I hired a nurse. Ah, Yan Er is so pitiful, losing her mother at such a young age."
• Ye Shaodong had told Ye Tian that Lin Ziyi had taken care of Yan Er every day while he was away. When she couldn't come, she would hire a nanny to look after her. Lin Ziyi had also covered all the expenses for the Ye family during these years. It could be said that without her, Ye Shaodong and Yan Er would have suffered greatly.
• Feeling grateful and remorseful, Ye Tian tightly embraced her. He owed Lin Ziyi too much and promised to make it up to her in the future.
• At that moment, Lin Ziyi glanced around the hotel room. It was a pricey suite. She quickly said, "Tian Ge, let's change to a different room. This one is too expensive."
• Ye Tian smiled and said, "Ziyi, it's just a small amount of money. Don't worry about it. I will work hard to earn money in the future and make you the happiest woman in the world."
• Lin Ziyi felt a surge of joy in her heart and threw herself into Ye Tian's arms, their lips meeting.
• Ye Tian hadn't been with a woman for three years in prison, and now his beloved woman was in his arms. He couldn't control himself. The two of them quickly fell onto the large bed, releasing their longing and love for each other.
• Over an hour later, Lin Ziyi lay in Ye Tian's arms, satisfied and peaceful, like a contented cat.
• "Tian Ge, you must have suffered a lot during these years," she softly asked.
• Ye Tian replied calmly, "It's nothing. Ziyi, I didn't waste my time in prison. I spent those three years practicing martial arts and studying medicine."
• Lin Ziyi was very curious. "Martial arts? Medicine?"
• Ye Tian nodded. "Yes, and it surpasses the medical and martial arts practices of this era."
• Filled with curiosity, Lin Ziyi listened as Ye Tian slowly recounted his experiences over the past few years.
• Both of them hadn't had proper rest, and as they listened, Lin Ziyi fell asleep.
• After covering her with a blanket, Ye Tian began contemplating their future life. He wanted to provide Lin Ziyi with a good living condition and never let her suffer again. However, Lin Ziyi's parents would pose a significant obstacle to their relationship.
• After pondering for a while, he thought to himself, "The reason why Lin's family looks down on me is simply because I don't have money. As long as I have more money than the Ma family, everything will be fine."
• Seeing that Lin Ziyi was still sleeping, he went to the herbal medicine shop and bought dozens of medicinal herbs.
• Back at home, he brewed medicine for Ye Shaodong while dialing a number written in his notes.
• The owner of this number was the behind-the-scenes boss of several major cosmetics companies in the country, named Yang Shoucheng, with a net worth of billions.
• Six months ago, Yang Shoucheng had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Ye Tian saved his life with three doses of medicine, earning Yang Shoucheng's admiration. Yang Shoucheng proposed a collaboration where Ye Tian would provide formulas for producing several medicines or health products.
• Although Ye Tian had not agreed at the time, he had started paying attention. While in prison, he had researched two formulas for medicines. One was for treating type 2 diabetes, and the other was a cream with excellent skincare properties for women.
• When the phone connected, Ye Tian got straight to the point and said, "Boss Yang, I have a special formula for treating type 2 diabetes."
• Yang Shoucheng was overjoyed and said, "Dr. Ye, have you changed your mind? That's great! As long as you provide the formula, you will receive 30% of the profits from this medicine!"
• Ye Tian replied, "I only want 25%, and the remaining 5% can be converted into cash. Transfer it to me now." He was in desperate need of money.
• Taken aback, Yang Shoucheng said, "Dr. Ye, if you need money, I can advance it to you."
• Ye Tian responded, "No need, let's convert it to cash." He didn't want to owe anyone any favors.
• After a brief moment of contemplation, Yang Shoucheng spoke, "If this medication truly becomes successful and generates billions in annual sales, with profits ranging from 20 to 30 billion, based on the standard 15 times price-to-earnings ratio of pharmaceutical companies, its future market value would be at least 30 billion. And 5% of that would amount to 1.5 billion. However, Dr. Ye, 1.5 billion is a substantial sum. I don't have much cash on hand, so for now, I can only offer you 300 million. Once the medication is on the market, I will provide you with the remaining amount. Does that sound acceptable to you?"
• 300 million? Ye Tian consulted with Ren Ping. The net assets of the Ma family in Haicheng were only a few billion. With this 300 million, at least Lin Ziyi wouldn't have to suffer alongside him anymore.
• After considering for a moment, he nodded and replied, "That's acceptable."
• Knowing that Yang Shoucheng was a shrewd businessman, Ye Tian understood that he wouldn't give away 300 million without reason. Yang Shoucheng smiled and said, "Dr. Ye, I have a few friends who are dealing with health issues. If you have the time, could you help diagnose and treat them?"
• Ye Tian, being a doctor, saw it as his duty to treat patients. Without much hesitation, he agreed, "Sure, I can do that."
• Yang Shoucheng was delighted and exclaimed, "That's great! Dr. Ye, I will come over immediately to sign the contract with you!"
• Just as Ye Shaodong finished taking the medication, Wang Dalong and his son arrived. They were in excruciating pain, and even the doctors at the hospital couldn't provide them relief. They knew it was Ye Tian who could help them, so they came seeking his assistance.
• Ye Tian coldly stated, "Kneel at the entrance and wait until I'm in a good mood to consider whether I'll alleviate your pain or not."
• The two of them had no choice but to kneel in front of the Ye family's gate, attracting countless villagers who came to watch. They couldn't comprehend how Ye Tian managed to make the powerful Wang Dalong and his family bow their heads!
