Chapter 144: The Min Family Back Then

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Min Rufeng relied on her so that she wouldn’t be bullied?

Didn’t that mean that Min Rufeng was a freeloader?

Min Rufeng was living off her?

Xi Fengling only wanted to laugh.

Although she was ranked above Min Rufeng in the killer world, in terms of skills, she was really inferior to Min Rufeng. Otherwise, why would she be controlled by him in every aspect?

However, if she really fought with Min Rufeng, she might have a chance of winning.

“That’s naturally because he has something else to do.”

“Anything else?” Min Ting frowned. Xi Fengling was in charge of bars and clubs. He really couldn’t think of anything else Min Rufeng had to do.

Could it be that other than these bars and clubs that he knew, Min Rufeng had other things to rely on?

“Didn’t Third Young Master Min say that the Min Family chose its successor solely by medical skills? Min Rufeng naturally went to study medical skills.” There was actually nothing wrong with saying that he specialized in medical skills. The strange things that Min Rufeng fiddled with every day were all targeted at some difficult and complicated diseases.

Min Ting’s lips twitched. “Are you joking?”

Three years ago, Min Rufeng returned to the Min Family. At that time, Min Rufeng was 23 years old. He, who was a few months younger than Min Rufeng, had already graduated from university. Naturally, the Min Family couldn’t send Min Rufeng to school to learn medicine from scratch.

Although Min Rufeng was adopted by an ordinary working family all these years after he went missing and the couple who adopted him passed away in a car accident, he still went to university. However, Min Rufeng’s major…

It wasn’t that it was not related to medicine, but it was a little different from the current medical mainstream.

Min Rufeng’s major was Chinese medicine.

Among the 20-odd hospitals that his father had invested in, there were only two Chinese medicine hospitals. They were the relatively small ones among the many hospitals under his father, and the profits were relatively low.

Among the more than twenty hospitals that his father had invested in, there were only two Chinese medicine hospitals. They were the relatively small ones among the many hospitals under his father, and the profits were relatively low.

Xi Fengling raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Third Young Master Min, do you think I’m joking?”

“Speaking of which, Third Young Master Min will find out sooner or later whether Min Rufeng is really capable or not. Recently, hasn’t Min Rufeng officially started work at the largest hospital under the Min Family—the Imperial Capital Hospital—to work? Is he relying on the protection of the family or is he really capable? I believe everyone will be able to tell soon.”

Min Ting knew that Min Rufeng had entered the Chinese medicine department of the Imperial Capital Hospital.

However, didn’t Min Rufeng spend every other day away from the hospital?

He didn’t think that Min Rufeng would go to work seriously at all, so he didn’t take him seriously.

“Actually, we don’t have to wait too long. Third Young Master Min can find out about Min Rufeng’s current situation if he goes to the TCM Department of the Imperial Capital Hospital to investigate now. Speaking of which, if it wasn’t because the Min Family has to be judged based on their medical skills, I really don’t want him to go to the hospital to attract all the ‘bees and butterflies’. I’ve gone to visit him a few times and I always see the young nurses blushing and giving him things. They’re either bentos or gifts.”

“I’ve also seen a young, beautiful, and cold female doctor asking him out for a meal.”

“Those young nurses can be said to be targeting Min Rufeng’s barely passable face or his identity as the Second Young Master of the Min Family. But what about that young, beautiful, and cold female doctor? I heard that that female doctor doesn’t even care about the Eldest Young Master of the Min Family.”

“…” Min Ting. Why did she keep emphasizing the words “young, beautiful, and cold female doctor”? He felt a very strong tinge of jealousy from her.

However, if what Xi Fengling said was the truth, Min Rufeng might really have some ability.

He had heard of that so-called young, beautiful, and cold female doctor. After all, she was someone that Min Nan, the dignified eldest son of the Min Family and an outstanding person of the younger generation in the medical world had pursued for years to no avail.

In terms of looks, Min Nan was not much different from Min Rufeng. That female doctor did not fancy Min Nan but fell for Min Rufeng. It was definitely not because of Min Rufeng’s looks or his family background.

In that case, what she liked should be Min Rufeng’s talent.

“Alright, even if Min Rufeng really has some ability, how would I know that Min Rufeng can defeat Min Nan? Min Nan has Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt behind him. Min Rufeng… Forgive me for being blunt, but so far, I don’t see any advantage in him.”

“If you can see an advantage from the beginning, wouldn’t everyone else have seen it too?” Xi Fengling smiled and continued, “Min Rufeng’s greatest advantage is himself.” There were also her, Beauty Yu, and Little Rain.

However, Xi Fengling didn’t say that out loud.

“Since I’ve already said so much, I might as well say more. Min Rufeng has been back in the capital for three years. Other than studying his medical skills as usual, he has also investigated a lot of things. The reason why he didn’t expose his talent early was because he didn’t want to be on guard at all times and had more time and opportunities to investigate clearly.”

“Investigate… what?”

“What do you think, Third Young Master Min?”

Min Ting paused, “How would I know what Min Rufeng is investigating?”

Did he really not know?

Of course not.

He just didn’t want to believe that it was what he thought.

Seeing Min Ting’s slightly stiff expression, Xi Fengling didn’t expose him.

He only said, “Min Rufeng was brought back to the Min Family at the age of five. At the age of 10, he was brought out by Mrs. Min and ‘got lost’. Not long after he was lost, Old Master Min, who brought him back to the Min Family to personally teach him, passed away.”

“Since Third Young Master Min is only a few months younger than Min Rufeng, you were almost 10 years old back then. You were already at the age where he can remember things. In Third Young Master Min’s memory, was Old Master Min healthy when Min Rufeng was lost?”

Min Ting pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xi Fengling smiled when she saw this. “It seems like Old Master Min’s body was very healthy back then. Taking a step back, even if Old Master Min is old and his bodily functions have decreased, he shouldn’t have reached the point where he would fall sick and pass away from illness because he’d lost his grandson.”

“Then, why did Old Master Min suddenly pass away?”

“Third Young Master Min, don’t think that I’m trying to drive a wedge between you all. Min Rufeng and I have been together for three years. It’s impossible that we didn’t find anything.” They did find something, but they couldn’t find any conclusive evidence for the time being.

“Besides, Third Young Master Min, why do you think Old Master Min insisted on bringing Min Rufeng back to the Min Family back then? You have to know that a top family like the Min Family in the capital hates illegitimate children the most.”

Not to mention Min Ting, even the other people in the Min Family and the onlookers who were discussing the matter didn’t know the reason when Old Master Min insisted on bringing Min Rufeng back to the Min Family.

“Because Old Master Min has taken a fancy to Min Rufeng’s medical talent. At the age of five, Min Rufeng could memorize the ‘Herbal Compendium’ when others his age couldn’t even read. His understanding of medicinal herbs has reached an astonishing level.”

Looking at the surprised Min Ting, Xi Fengling smiled and said, “Back then, Old Master Min had planned to nurture Min Rufeng as the heir of the Min Family.”

“After Min Rufeng was lost, Old Master Min used all the connections in the Min Family to find him. If Old Master Min hadn’t suddenly passed away, Min Rufeng would have been found long ago. Why would he have been wandering outside for so many years?”

At first, Xi Fengling wanted to say that if Min Rufeng had not been brought to Ghost Slaughter Island, with Old Master Min’s actions back then, how could he not have found Min Rufeng?

Actually, even if Min Rufeng arrived at Ghost Slaughter Island, with Old Master Min’s actions back then, it was only a matter of time before he found Min Rufeng. However, Old Master Min suddenly passed away.

If it was only the Min Family involved, she and Min Rufeng wouldn’t have to investigate for three years without finding anything concrete.

She could vaguely sense a hint of the Ghost Slaughter Island in Old Master Min’s death back then.

However, Ghost Slaughter Island had been destroyed by them three years ago. If Old Master Min’s death was really related to Ghost Slaughter Island, Min Rufeng would have avenged him without knowing.

Retracting her thoughts, Xi Fengling looked at Min Ting. “Third Young Master Min is a smart person. You should understand now that I’ve said so much, right?”

Min Ting was silent.

“Of course, if Third Young Master Min and Old Master Min don’t have a deep relationship and don’t care if Old Master Min’s death was an accident or deliberate, it’s not good for us either…”

Hearing this, Min Ting interrupted her angrily, “Who said that I don’t have a deep relationship with Grandfather?!”

Old Master Min had two sons and one adopted daughter. Min Ting’s father, Min Xiangbei, was Old Master Min’s youngest son. Min Xiangbei’s wife passed away early, and Min Ting was only three years old at that time. Min Xiangbei was infatuated with his late wife and didn’t remarry. He could only numb the pain of losing his wife through busy work, so he naturally ignored Min Ting.

Old Master Min had basically raised Min Ting.

That was why he was so agitated when he heard Xi Fengling say that he didn’t have a deep relationship with Old Master Min.

Min Ting actually believed Xi Fengling’s words, even though she only said it without any evidence.

Because before this, he already had doubts. It was just that he had hoped that his Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt weren’t so evil.

They treated Min Rufeng badly, but they treated him, their nephew, rather well.

“In that case, does Third Young Master Min mean to cooperate or not?”

Min Ting stared at her and then realized that they were not the only ones in the room.

“Boss Xi, aren’t you afraid that you’ll ruin things by saying these words in public?”

He trusted Second Brother. Second Brother had never been a busybody. It didn’t matter that he heard them talk about this.

But what about Yan Jinyu?

Why wasn’t Xi Fengling worried that the Min Family’s members would hear these words through Yan Jinyu?

Although Yan Jinyu didn’t look like someone who would poke her nose into other people’s business, what if?

Xi Fengling didn’t look like someone who would trust others easily.

With that thought, Min Ting was even more sure that Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling knew each other.
