Although Madam Deng and others thought there was a possibility Doctor Hu might demand an exorbitant fee, they said nothing due to the urgency of saving Master Deng's life.

Deng Yuan showed a hint of a smile and nodded to Doctor Hu: "Doctor Hu, that's right. In fact, when I visited your residence, I wanted to discuss your consultation fee."

"However, it's not too late to discuss the consultation fee now. Doctor Hu, please tell me how much will be needed to treat my father?"

Doctor Hu furrowed his brows, appearing difficult, and said, "Mr. Deng, I have always deeply respected your father, a legend in the business world, devoted to charity, donating tens of billions annually."

"Now that I am treating your father, out of admiration for his noble character, I am truly embarrassed to mention the fee."

Nevertheless, at this moment, not only Deng Yuan, but everyone else did not believe Doctor Hu would "not charge," and the more Doctor Hu claimed not to charge, the more likely he was demanding a large sum.

Deng Yuan said, "Thank you, Doctor Hu, for your respect for my father. However, you deserve the fee for treating my father, and we would feel embarrassed not to pay it."

"Mr. Deng, I won't take money; I am known to be truthful. However, if you insist on paying, then exchange it for one-tenth of Deng Group's shares." Doctor Hu said shamelessly with a smile.

At this point, the faces of Deng Yuan and his family changed.

Everyone realized that the fee Doctor Hu had not mentioned was, in fact, one-tenth of Deng Group's shares.

The Deng family, as a prestigious family in Capital City, owns Deng Group, which is a Fortune 500 company valued at trillions, and one-tenth of the shares, converted into cash, amounts to hundreds of billions.

Moreover, holding Deng Group shares is akin to possessing a money tree, with annual dividends alone nearly reaching a hundred billion.

Deng Group's shares have always been held by the Deng family, never offered to the outside.

Today, Doctor Hu dares to demand one-tenth of Deng Group's shares as the condition for treating Master Deng, which is essentially exploitation.

Deng Yuan and Madam Deng's faces turned somewhat grim.

"Doctor Hu, Deng Group's shares have never been sold externally. How about I give you a fee, and you name your price?" After a moment of silence, Deng Yuan sincerely said to Doctor Hu.

However, Doctor Hu laughed: "Mr. Deng, given your family's vast wealth, one-tenth of the shares is merely a small portion of Deng Group. Are you truly unwilling to use one-tenth of your shares to save your father's life?"

"Isn't your father's life worth trading one-tenth of shares for? If that's the case, you are not worthy as a son. You should think about who created Deng Group, who bestowed you your billion-dollar estate?"

"It was Master Deng, your father, and now you are willing to neglect his life for mere money. Is this what a son should do?"

Deng Yuan furrowed his brows, momentarily unable to speak.

Even though he knew Doctor Hu was trying to covet the Deng family's wealth and using sophistry to make him hand over Deng Group shares.

But seeing his father with a pale face, eyes tightly shut, and unconscious on the hospital bed, Deng Yuan found himself unable to reject Doctor Hu's ulterior-motivated condition.

Similarly, the expression on Madam Deng's face was struggling, like her husband, torn between agreement and refusal.

As the couple faced a difficult choice, a voice sounded: "Nonsense!"

This voice was indeed blunt and quite jarring, at least for Doctor Hu.

Deng Yuan's couple, the Deng siblings, and Chen Lin were all startled. Then they were surprised to find that the speaker was Lin Fei.

Lin Fei ridiculed Doctor Hu because he was truly disgusted by Doctor Hu's shamelessness reaching a new height.

Doctor Hu looked at Lin Fei, his eyes filled with a hidden anger: "What did you just say?"

Lin Fei said, "I said you are spouting nonsense!"

"You…" Doctor Hu was so furious, his nose was crooked.

Then, Doctor Hu angrily looked at Deng Yuan, saying: "Deng Yuan, what do you mean by this? Did you invite this person specifically to insult me?"

Deng Yuan did not know Li Fei, showing a puzzled expression and looking towards Madam Deng.

Madam Deng told her husband, "He is Li Fei, the benefactor who saved Ziyu that night."

"I don't care if he's a benefactor, get him out of here immediately," Doctor Hu said angrily.

"Hu Qinghai, right? This is the Deng family, not your Hu family. You don't have the right to kick me out. Also, what kind of nonsense are you speaking? Mr. Deng not giving you one-tenth of Deng Group's shares is unfilial? Giving you, this robber, one-tenth of shares shows reverence to Master Deng?" Lin Fei looked coldly at Doctor Hu, mocking him.

Doctor Hu's face instantly became furious: "Whom are you calling a robber?"

Lin Fei's lips curled into a cold smile, saying: "Are you not a robber? Saving lives and treating illness is a doctor's duty, yet here, you turn it into extortion for others' billions. Is this your purpose for treating illnesses?"

"A doctor who demands exorbitant fees or company shares constantly is worse than a dishonest mediocre doctor because that's a shameless robber!"

Lin Fei earnestly and fiercely rebuked Doctor Hu, full of righteous indignation.

The atmosphere fell silent, with Deng Ziyu, Chen Lin, and Deng Han's eyes glowing brightly. They all thought Lin Fei was absolutely right!

This Doctor Hu treats patients but wants to seize Deng Group shares, this is a shameless robber.

Doctor Hu's face turned from blue to white, his features twisted in anger, and he said to Deng Yuan: "Deng Yuan, I can't treat this illness today. It's outrageous that someone dare call me a shameless robber."

"Fine, I won't treat anymore. I would like to see who will treat Master Deng if I don't.".

Doctor Hu, fuming in anger as if humiliated greatly, said to his bodyguard, who was carrying a medicine box, "Leopard, let's go!"

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Doctor Hu and the bodyguard about to leave, Deng Yuan quickly stepped up to stop Doctor Hu, saying: "Doctor Hu, please don't go. I am willing to transfer one-tenth of Deng Group's shares to you, and Young Master Li's young age and immaturity made you angry, for which I apologize on his behalf."

"Deng Yuan, if you want me to treat your father, you have to make that brat shut up, and also bring your lawyer over now. I want to sign the share agreement with you." Doctor Hu said, still visibly upset, to Deng Yuan.

Deng Yuan looked at the old butler and said: "Old Xu, call Lawyer Cheng and have him come over immediately."

"Yes, sir." The butler replied and left the bedroom to make the call.

After a short while, the butler returned and said to Deng Yuan: "Sir, Lawyer Cheng will be here in ten minutes."

Deng Yuan nodded.

Ten minutes later, Teacher Cheng, wearing a suit and tie, arrived and took the share transfer agreement from his briefcase.

Deng Yuan and Doctor Hu were about to sign the agreement.

"Mr. Deng, wait a minute, I have something to say!" Just as both were about to sign the agreement, Lin Fei's voice rang out again.
