Chapter 90 Sky-High Medical Expenses
A flash of light blinded Lu Yu’s eyes after passing through the teleportation door. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bustling metropolis.
There were also other people here who had been teleported from all over the country. Some of them were here for the first time and were instantly attracted by the bustling city.
Lu Yu quickly went to the roadside and hailed a taxi. He quickly made his way to the central hospital in Ixdale.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the central hospital.
Lu Yu paid the fare and walked into the hospital.
He quickly walked toward his aunt’s ward and came to the entrance. Lu Yu pushed the door open and walked in.
The ward Liu Yi was staying in was a single room. The decoration was simple yet exquisite, like a high-end bedroom.
Lu Yu came to the front of the hospital bed and carefully looked at his aunt’s haggard face.
Her face was still deathly pale, and there was not a trace of blood on her face.
Moreover, she seemed to have fallen into a coma. Even with Lu Yu making a noise as he pushed the door, coming in, he did not wake her up.
Lu Yu sat in front of the hospital bed and held her right hand with both of his hands.
“Aunt, I got first place in all four trials. I did not embarrass you, nor did I let you down for raising me!”
“Believe me, I can definitely cure you!” Lu Yu said, with a heavy tone.
At that moment, the ward’s door was pushed open, and the attending doctor walked in.
When he saw Lu Yu, he quickly walked over.
“You’re finally here. Let’s settle the medical fees first.”
He handed the bill over.
Lu Yu took a closer look and was shocked.
“She’s only been here for a few days, and it already cost ten million?”
Lu Yu was speechless at the sky-high bill. The cost was too ridiculous!
The attending doctor explained, “There are many reasons why it’s 10 million.”
“First of all, this is the central hospital of Ixdale. It represents the top hospital in the country!”
“Countless rich people are queuing just to come in for a doctor’s visit, so the cost is naturally high. Moreover, your aunt is staying in a luxurious single room, increasing the cost even further.”
“Secondly, your aunt’s condition is special. Our hospital has arranged for three or four top-notch doctors to discuss a treatment plan together. This will not be a small sum of money.”
“Also, maintaining her vital signs requires a lot of medicine. These are all expenses, so how can it not be at a high cost?”
Hearing this, Lu Yu could only helplessly nod his head.
He had no other choice. After all, other hospitals could not treat his aunt’s illness; only this place could.
“I want to ask, how long can 15 million last?”
The attending doctor frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “About a month. When a month has passed, you can continue for the next payment.”
Lu Yu nodded helplessly. “Alright, then I’ll pay for this month’s medical fees first…”
Lu Yu took out the two bank cards he had just obtained and followed the attending doctor to the counter to swipe them.
Fifteen million were spent in just a split second.
He had spent all the money he had just got in the blink of an eye before he could even use it.
Moreover, his future expenses would only increase.
Whether it was his aunt’s medical expenses or the expenses he would need for his future cultivation, both were massive amounts!
It looked like he had to earn more money as soon as possible…
After handing over the money, Lu Yu returned to the teleportation node in the city center. He took his student ID card from Clanorth University and successfully teleported back to the university.
On the way back to the villa, Lu Yu tried to think of more ways to earn money.
He even wanted to sell the villa and luxury car allocated by the university, as they would be able to sell for a lot of money!
Lu Yu realized that if he relied on his pharmaceutical skills, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money!
With his Eye of the Dragon God, there was no medicine that Lu Yu could not make unless he did not have the necessary materials.
However, he was a freshman now, so it was not good for him to focus on making money instead of his studies…
As he thought about it, Lu Yu drove to the villa area.
However, he saw from afar that there seemed to be a few figures standing at the entrance of his villa.
…
At that moment, Xu Mao, Zhao Kai, and Liu Xiao, with seven or eight underlings, surrounded the villa’s entrance.
The three of them gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.
“You guys asked me to come together and deal with Lu Yu. Are you sure? What if we can’t beat him?” Xu Mao said, with lingering fear.
He was the only one among the three who had fought against Lu Yu. That slap had left him traumatized.
So, until now, he was a little afraid of Lu Yu.
From the beginning, he was unwilling to follow these two people to provoke Lu Yu.
Zhao Kai asked unhappily, “Young Master Xu, What’s wrong with you? Why are you acting so cowardly today? This isn’t like you. Bring out your pride!”
Xu Mao swallowed his saliva. Of course, he wanted to be prideful…
He didn’t want to say that he was sent flying by Lu Yu’s slap, so he could only grit his teeth and agree to their suggestion.
Liu Xiao patted his chest, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve brought so many people with me today. What’s there to be afraid of? Just do it!”
Zhao Kai felt slightly scornful of Liu Xiao’s bandit-like behavior.
However, he also needed Liu Xiao’s men. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to defeat him by himself.
“Let’s wait for that guy to come out! Then, we’ll teach him a lesson, and it’s best if we beat him until he’s crippled. Then, he won’t be able to participate in the trial tomorrow!” Liu Xiao said hatefully. He was resentful for having his first place snatched away.
While a few of them were waiting, they suddenly heard the sound of car brakes!
Everyone turned around at the same time and saw a car parked behind them. The car door opened, and Lu Yu got out of the vehicle.
“You guys are blocking my entrance. What’s the matter?” Lu Yu asked.
Liu Xiao brought everyone and instantly surrounded Lu Yu.
“You finally showed up. I thought you were going to stay a coward, hiding in the villa!”
Liu Xiao revealed a mocking expression.
Lu Yu asked impatiently, “If you have something to say, can you just say it? I don’t want to waste my time here!”
Liu Xiao laughed loudly, “Looks like you’re in a hurry to get beaten up. Sure, I’ll grant your wish!”
Lu Yu glanced at him and said, “Looks like you brought others here to fight with me.”
“Why, are you afraid?”
“Just a few of you don’t deserve to make me afraid!”
“But, why would I want to fight with you even if I have nothing to do?” Lu Yu was very annoyed and wanted to go around them. He didn’t want to waste time on these people.
Liu Xiao took a step sideways and blocked Lu Yu.
“I think you are afraid! If you don’t dare to fight, I will bring my men and rush into the villa. At that time, your two little girlfriends will be in trouble!”
Liu Xiao’s face revealed a cold smile.
Lu Yu looked straight at Liu Xiao and said in a low tone, “Since you want to fight with me so much, that’s fine too. But I will not fight for nothing. Let’s make a bet!”
Hearing this, Liu Xiao smiled smugly.
He was just waiting for Lu Yu to accept the challenge. He didn’t care about what was on the line.
As long as he could fight Lu Yu, he would do anything.
The three of them knew the swiftness of Lu Yu’s speed. If Lu Yu didn’t want to fight, they wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Lu Yu thought of the medical fees he had just paid, so he said, “The three of you are here to challenge me. How about this? Each of you bet two million. If you lose, you’ll all give me six million.
