The Physician Tycoon

Liao Jingcui was taken away by two female police officers.

Wu Weixiong stood by the window, lost in thought.

Everyone else remained silent; no one spoke, and the room was completely still.

After a while, Wu Weixiong turned around and said to Yang Zhongyong, "Zhongyong, I've thought it over. I want to resign to take responsibility."

Yang Zhongyong was taken aback. "Governor, this is no small matter. We cannot make a decision lightly. We must think it over carefully before acting!"

Wu Weixiong waved his hand. "I've made up my mind. Jingcui has made a grave mistake, and as her husband, I bear an unshirkable responsibility. I have no choice but to resign to atone for my sins."

"Governor, your term is not yet over. Resigning now would be detrimental to Great Xia. I suggest you wait until your term expires and a new governor is appointed before stepping down. That would be more appropriate."

"No need. I am no longer qualified to continue in this position. I have decided to hand over the governorship to you."

Yang Zhongyong quickly declined, "Ah, this is absolutely impossible! I, Yang Zhongyong, am not worthy of sitting in the position of governor."

Wu Weixiong said firmly, "Zhongyong, you should stop refusing. You have made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of Huang Shi, Yuan Zhenguo and Lü Gandang's gang."

"If it weren't for you and Ye Kai, I would have been killed by these traitors long ago. It's perfectly legitimate for you to be the governor; I'll issue the proclamation of abdication right now."

Wu Weixiong immediately summoned his secretary to draft a notice of abdication, handing over the position of governor to Yang Zhongyong.

Wu Weixiong held Yang Zhongyong's hand and said, "Zhongyong, I'm entrusting this place to you. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will do my best to assist you."

Yang Zhongyong couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept. He expressed his opinion to Wu Weixiong.

"Please rest assured, Governor, I will dedicate myself to the utmost and even die for my country!"

Wu Weixiong then said to Ye Kai, "Ye Kai, I know you have extraordinary abilities, could you please rescue my child?"

"Rest assured, Governor, I'll go rescue them right now!"

Wu Weixiong's eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, Ye Kai. Just tell me if you need anything."

Ye Kai waved his hand, "I don't need anything, I'll set off right now."

"I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

Ye Kai shook his head. "No need, I have my own transportation."

"Then I'll see you off."

Wu Weixiong and Yang Zhongyong saw Ye Kai out of the office, and Ye Kai waved goodbye to them.

They boarded the flying saucer, took off, and flew towards the United States.

Ye Kai called Alice from the UFO, asking her to secretly protect Wu Ruolin until he arrived.

After arranging things for Wu Ruolin, Ye Kai rested for a while. An hour and twenty minutes later, the UFO arrived over New York City, USA.

Ye Kai piloted the flying saucer to land on an open space next to Harvard University. It was already dark by then.

Ye Kai checked the time Niu had arranged: 9:16 PM.

He decided to take action quickly while it was dark, so he jumped over the wall into the school.

Ye Kai went to Wu Junda's dormitory but didn't see Wu Junda.

Ye Kai didn't dare to alert Wu Junda, so he didn't ask his roommates where Wu Junda was.

He decided to come back during class time the next morning, so he piloted the flying saucer to an open space in the suburbs and spent the night inside it.

The following morning at nine o'clock, Ye Kai arrived at Harvard University again and found Wu Junda's classroom.

He stood outside the window and looked inside, but didn't see Wu Junda.

Could it be that Wu Junda has been imprisoned somewhere by the Shadows?

Ye Kai waited until get out of class ended and the students came out of the classroom. Ye Kai followed behind a girl with an Asian face.

When the two reached a park, the girl suddenly turned around, glared at Ye Kai, and shouted sharply.

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Ye Kai said in English, "Classmate, don't be nervous. I mean you no harm. I want to ask you about someone."

The girl sized Ye Kai up, perhaps deciding he didn't look like a bad person, and softened her tone, "So, who do you want to know about?"

Do you know where Wu Junda is?

The girl raised an eyebrow. "What do you want with Wu Junda?"

Ye Kai made up a reason: "I'm his high school classmate, and I asked him to help me contact a school."

"Oh, you want to study in the US?"

"Yes."

The girl looked at Ye Kai suspiciously. "Are you really his high school classmate?"

Ye Kai nodded emphatically, "Really!"

"Wait a minute, you look only twenty-one or twenty-two to me?"

Wu Junda is 25 years old and is pursuing his doctorate at Harvard University.

Ye Kai had a sudden inspiration and replied, "I have a naturally baby face, which makes me look young, but I'm actually already twenty-five this year."

The girl hummed in agreement, "Oh, I see. Dude, you're way too naive."

This time she spoke in the language of Bactria.

Ye Kai was overjoyed; he had finally met someone from his hometown! He asked in the Xia dialect,

"Beautiful lady, what's your name?"

The girl countered, "Tell me your name first!"

"My name is Ye Kai, and I'm from Jiangzhou."

"Oh, you're from Jiangzhou, so why are you studying high school in Kyoto?"

Ye Kaixin thought to herself, "I spoke the truth in a moment of excitement. How can I explain it now?"

He made up a story in his mind: "I was living with relatives in Kyoto, and it just so happened that I was classmates with Junda."

The girl pressed for details, "Do you know the names of your relatives?"

Ye Kai saw that the girl was suspicious and asked, "Which relative?"

There were no relatives to begin with, so where did these relatives come from?

The girl urged, "What, isn't it convenient to say yet?"

Ye Kai suddenly thought of Zhou Guangli. This guy was in his fifties. It shouldn't be a problem for him to impersonate his relative, right?

"I stayed at Uncle Zhou's house."

The girl pressed on, "Which Uncle Zhou? Would you mind telling me his name?"

"Zhou Guangli."

The girl was taken aback. "Which Zhou Guangli?"

"That's the director of the health bureau."

"The head of the Kyoto Municipal Health Bureau?"

"Yes."

The girl's pretty face changed, and she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Kai's arm.

"You liar, where do you think you're going to run now!"

Ye Kai asked, puzzled, "Miss, we're complete strangers, why are you saying I'm a liar?"

"What else could you be but a liar? Tell me, what do you want from Wu Junda?"

"Don't misunderstand, I really did ask him for help."

The girl snorted coldly, "Hmph, if you don't tell me, I'll call the police!"

"No, please don't call the police! I've come all the way from Daxia, it wasn't easy for me!"

"Then you'd better tell me the truth!"

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk this out, okay?"

The girl looked at Ye Kai warily. "Are you trying to escape? I'm warning you, don't try. You can run away, but you can't hide!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

The girl took out her phone and snapped a few photos of Ye Kai, warning him, "I've already saved your photos to the cloud. If you try anything funny, I'll call the police!"

"I wouldn't dare."

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare."

The girl led Ye Kai to a pavilion and sat him down. "Tell me," she said, "who exactly are you?"

Ye Kai asked curiously, "How did you know I was an imposter?"

The girl giggled. "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

Ye Kai looked the girl up and down; she seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"The Zhou Guangli you just mentioned is my dad!"
