Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1390 - 1364: Did He Really Escape?

Emperor Wu of Han walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, and he looked a bit embarrassed as he saw the people standing at the door.

The people were surprised to see Emperor Wu of Han walk out, considering the deep bond between him and Wei Qing, he should be waiting inside.

Unless someone had driven him out, how could he be standing at the door like everyone else?

"Your Majesty, the room has been tidied up, please relocate to rest," said Wei Qing’s wife, looking at Emperor Wu of Han.

"No need, I will wait outside for Wei Qing," replied Emperor Wu of Han, waving his hand.

Upon hearing Emperor Wu of Han say this, everyone felt a burst of envy; only Wei Qing was treated like this by Emperor Wu on the court.

Wei Qing’s wife felt deeply moved as well; she felt that Wei Qing’s life had been truly worthwhile.

Emperor Wu of Han stood at the door anxiously waiting.

The ministers thought Ye Chen was too audacious to drive the current emperor out—it was truly courting death.

Imperial Physicians shook their heads at Ye Chen’s arrogance; he was too young, and even they were helpless before this, how could he accomplish it?

"Your Majesty, I find Ye Chen’s actions quite peculiar. Why is it that only he and General Wei remain inside?" the eunuch suddenly said.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han was indifferent to etiquette and decorum.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, I believe this young man is attempting to escape; otherwise, why else behave this way?" a minister said.

In fact, Emperor Wu of Han also found Ye Chen’s actions strange; typically, others accompany an Imperial Physician during medical treatment, yet Ye Chen requested solitude to avoid being disturbed.

"What do you all think?" Emperor Wu of Han asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe this Ye Chen knows nothing of medicine. After my diagnosis, the Grand General’s injuries are indeed severe, even the Chaotic Heaven Skill couldn’t heal him," an Imperial Physician spoke.

"Indeed, I believe this young man simply intends to escape."

Those standing at the door were aware that Emperor Wu of Han had just issued an order to execute Ye Chen.

Whoever it was, escape was now the priority; everyone felt Ye Chen was attempting to divert them to seize the chance to flee.

After all, General Wei was now as good as dead and couldn’t hinder Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained in the room, naturally unaware of their suspicions about him.

"I know my condition; there’s no need to waste your efforts. Quickly flee," Wei Qing coughed a few times, advising Ye Chen.

He knew his circumstances were dire and didn’t want to endanger others because of himself.

Wei Qing was acutely aware that if Ye Chen couldn’t heal him, Emperor Wu of Han would surely penalize him; Wei Qing was considered the emperor’s right-hand man.

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Ye Chen asked Wei Qing with a puzzled expression.

"So many Imperial Physicians failed to cure me, surely there’s no hope," Wei Qing shook his head.

"Just because they can’t doesn’t mean I can’t," Ye Chen smiled.

Wei Qing was at a loss; he didn’t understand why the young man before him was so stubborn, rejecting all advice.

Seeing as that’s the case, he appeared a bit helpless and increasingly worried for this young man.

"Alright, General Wei, say no more. I can cure your illness; the key is you must cooperate with me," Ye Chen said calmly.

"Okay, thank you," Wei Qing nodded.

"Take this first," Ye Chen took out a pill bottle from his pocket and handed it to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at the brown pill and frowned.

"Rest assured, I wouldn’t harm you; it has a calming effect," Ye Chen said sincerely.

Wei Qing thought to himself, with such severe injuries, feeling his organs ache, if he could leave without pain it’d be good; he just regretted not seeing his sister again.

In fact, he deliberately didn’t inform his sister, fearing she’d worry.

Wei Qing constantly thought of Wei Zifu, always considering her without regard for his own feelings.

Without a word, Wei Qing placed the Elixir Pill in his mouth and swallowed it directly.

In a short while, he fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Chen nudged Wei Qing a few times and seeing no response, felt relieved.

Because Wei Qing’s injuries were so severe, ordinary medical techniques couldn’t treat them, and might even backfire; he now needed to rely on the system’s aid for treatment.

Moreover, Ye Chen knew the system was immensely powerful and could handle anything.

This had to remain unknown to Wei Qing; it was his secret, and even if Ye Chen didn’t belong here, it couldn’t be divulged.

"System, is there a way to save this Grand General?" Ye Chen asked in his mind.

"Of course, the host can open the system’s shop and purchase the Light of Life, which can revive someone near death," the system replied.

Ye Chen was jubilant upon hearing this; he thought the system would provide him some healing techniques but was surprised it was as simple as spending money.

However, upon opening the system shop, Ye Chen was momentarily dumbstruck; the system’s Light of Life cost one hundred million.

"System, you’re too greedy! Why don’t you just rob people?" Ye Chen grumbled.

"All products in the system shop are transparently priced, fair to all; the host can rest assured," the system replied.

Listening to the system’s words, Ye Chen felt helpless but didn’t know what to say.

Ye Chen had plenty of money, a hundred million was nothing to him; after all, human lives were at stake, it could be seen as a philanthropic act.

Moreover, Wei Qing had spent his life fighting on the battlefield, achieving great feats.

"System, I want to purchase the Light of Life," Ye Chen said to the system.

Soon, Ye Chen’s phone beeped with a notification; checking it, indeed a hundred million was deducted from his account.

Instantly, green light emanated from Ye Chen’s palm; he knew this was the Light of Life.

Swiftly, he guided it into Wei Qing’s body, watching Wei Qing’s pale face regain color.

Ye Chen knew Wei Qing was saved; the Light of Life was healing his internal organs.

Emperor Wu of Han and others were anxiously waiting outside, their hearts suspecting Ye Chen inside the room was preparing to escape.

"Your Majesty, why is there no sound from the room?" the eunuch suddenly asked.

Emperor Wu of Han felt unusual too; he could hear the conversation between Wei Qing and Ye Chen earlier, but now there was silence.

Could it be Ye Chen had really escaped? He wondered.
