Ye Fan's words couldn't be any clearer.
Even though he didn't spell it out explicitly, it was obvious to everyone that Jiangbei would be under Zhang Jiuling and Lu Ziming's control.
Since the Meng family had been annihilated, the two of them were the only ones reputable enough to lead the region.
That was despite the fact that the Lu Clan and the Zhang family had suffered significant casualties.
The Zhang family in particular was close to being entirely decimated by the Meng family.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiuling's presence retained the soul of the family.
On top of that, the Meng family's collapse allowed the Zhang family to recover the businesses that Meng Wanjun had stolen from them.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Jiuling and the others were given time, they would be able to re-establish their family once their wounds had healed.
Subsequently, they could recover and consolidate their power and authority over Jiangbei.
It went without saying that they needed Ye Fan's support to do that.
Therefore, Ye Fan's words had given Zhang Jiuling and the others the motivation to do so.
After bowing to Ye Fan to express their loyalty, all of them subsequently left, causing the ward to fall into a deathly silence.
Meanwhile, Yue Yingchun and Hu Yipeng had widened their eyes in shock.
Despite being slow at times, they were not idiots at all.
By then, it was evident to them that Lu Ziming and Zhang Jiuling were prostrating themselves at Ye Fan's feet.
Why are they doing that? Isn't that silly fool just a poor kid who came to Jiangbei for work? Isn't he just a pitiful bachelor in his twenties? Furthermore, he can only afford to rent a small room from us for a meager sum.
The Hu family pitied him so much that Yue Yingchun went all over town just to find Ye Fan a wife.
Therefore, it was beyond their wildest imagination that this unknown and broke kid was shown so much respect by the two heads of Jiangbei's most prominent families.
At that instant, Yue Yingchun and her husband felt as if they didn't know Ye Fan at all.
After Zhang Jiuling and the others left, Yue Yingchun and her husband wanted to say something to Ye Fan.
However, they had no idea what kind of tone or attitude they should speak to him with.
Despite their apprehension, Ye Fan behaved normally, as if he was oblivious to the awkwardness in the room, he continued to sit by the bed and feed Tangtang an orange.
Refusing to eat, Tangtang turned her head away.
“Kid, how can you not even finish one orange? If you don't eat more, how are you going to be strong enough to battle diseases?”
Ye Fan shook his head and broke into an affectionate
smile.
Just like that, Ye Fan spent the day with Tangtang and her family at the hospital.
Nevertheless, he wasn't able to stay long.
When evening arrived, Ye Fan took his leave from Hu Yipeng and his family.
Before he left, he gave the herbs that Junie had left to Hu Yipeng, “Mr. Hu, Junie brought these for you. Just follow the instructions on top on how often to take them. If everything goes well, it would do your legs a lot of good. Who knows, you might even be lucky enough to stand back up.
“As for the wounds on Tangtang's face, there's no need for you to worry. Once I travel to India and bring Junie back unharmed, she will definitely be able to help Tangtang recover her looks. Despite looking silly most of the time, she has impressive medical skills that will certainly amaze you. Back when I was facing certain death from my wounds, it was she who saved me. Hence, Tangtang will definitely be able to heal entirely given that her wounds are not that serious.”
Amidst the gentle breeze during sunset, Ye Fan stood at the door in his airy clothes as he waved goodbye to
the Hu family.
Prior to that, they didn't believe Ye Fan when he told them the same thing, for they assumed that he was just comforting them.
However, after watching how respectful Lu Ziming and the rest were toward Ye Fan, they finally realized that the seemingly ordinary-looking youth was anything butthat.
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Yue Yingchun dropped to her knees and burst into tears.
