From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Not long ago, Wang Jiancheng’s father, Wang Zhengdao, had a deep conversation with Wang Jianming about the China-Korea Industrial Park, but Wang Jianming was very firm and did not agree to change the already decided plan. Later, it was heard that Elder Qiao expressed some opinions through Qiao Rulong, and it seems the matter regarding that land has come to nothing.

In fact, Wang Jiancheng personally believes that the Lexus Group is a bit too attached to that land. Opposite it is the Seven Heroes Monument, which has special significance for Elder Qiao.

Li Bingxing of Lexus can be rich and impressive, but his influence is limited to that small peninsula. On this land, he should avoid touching Elder Qiao’s reverse scale. Provoking local miners’ families is a minor issue, but angering Elder Qiao might have consequences they cannot bear.

Wang Jiancheng said, "I’m just acting on someone’s request. Such matters require mutual agreement. Since you disagree, I’m not keen to wade into these murky waters."

Xu Chunliang replied with a smile, "I’m a bit curious. How did you come to know the Lexus Group?"

Wang Jiancheng also smiled, "The Lexus Group is a multinational enterprise. Is it not normal for me to have connections with them?"

Xu Chunliang said, "What I mean is, you didn’t connect with them through the Mingde Group, did you?"

Wang Zhengdao’s stubborn disease was cured by Huang Youlong. Xu Chunliang suspected that Huang Youlong used this matter to connect with the Wang Family.

Wang Jiancheng shook his head, recalling that he once took Xu Chunliang to Jingfu Building to meet Huang Youlong. "I find you to be very smart, but not very adept at seizing opportunities."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "How are you so sure that what awaits me isn’t a pitfall?"

Wang Jiancheng burst into laughter.

Ye Qingya approached with two freshly brewed cups of coffee, handing one to Wang Jiancheng and the other to Xu Chunliang.

"What are you chatting about so happily?"

Wang Jiancheng said, "Nothing much, just casual chatting." He took a sip of coffee and praised, "It smells great! I didn’t expect you to be so skilled at this."

Ye Qingya replied, "It’s the coffee machine’s credit."

Wang Jiancheng noticed some cold medicine still on the coffee table, "Qingya, is this medicine for you?"

Ye Qingya quickly put it away, "No, I was just tidying up and checking if the medicine had expired."

Wang Jiancheng didn’t sense anything unusual about Ye Qingya, "By the way, I came this time to ask for a piece of artwork to give to someone; the price is negotiable."

Ye Qingya said, "Jiancheng, I haven’t created anything recently. Maybe I can introduce someone else to you."

Wang Jiancheng replied, "My friend particularly likes your artwork."

Ye Qingya was very aware that Wang Jiancheng was just using this as a pretext to get closer to her. Thinking about it, she still went to get a bird-and-flower painting and gave it to Wang Jiancheng.

Wang Jiancheng inquired about the price, and Ye Qingya said there was no need. If he wanted, he could donate some money to the elementary school she sponsored.

Wang Jiancheng put down his coffee cup, glanced at Xu Chunliang, and smiled at him, saying, "Qingya, there is something I’d like to discuss with you privately."

Xu Chunliang understood this was a hint that he was an inconvenience and that he should leave.

Ye Qingya said, "If you have something to say, just say it. You know my relationship with Chunliang; he’s not an outsider."

Hearing this was pleasant, but it frustrated Wang Jiancheng more. What is your relationship with him? Isn’t he just a sworn brother? Xu Chunliang is cozying up to the Ye Family for their background, isn’t he? Wang Jiancheng thought this way unsurprising because most people he interacted with had such motives.

But given Ye Qingya’s words, Wang Jiancheng felt it wasn’t right to stay silent. He smiled and said, "Chunliang is indeed not an outsider, and this matter does somewhat relate to him."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Me? What matter drags me into this?"

Wang Jiancheng said, "It’s about Zhao Feiyang. Last night, you had dinner with him, didn’t you?"

Xu Chunliang nodded, "Yes, I did have dinner with him."

Ye Qingya felt a bit uneasy inside, wondering if it had anything to do with her. Last night, she had sent Xu Chunliang to the hotel entrance; had someone seen them? Now that she considered it, her kindness toward Xu Chunliang wasn’t solely brotherly concern. Over the years of her marriage to Qiao Rulong, he had never enjoyed the luxury of a chauffeured service.

Wang Jiancheng mentioned Zhao Feiyang’s beating incident, which Xu Chunliang knew about, but he hadn’t told Ye Qingya. If anything in this matter involved Ye Qingya, it would be only Qiao Rulong.

After hearing it, Ye Qingya’s first reaction was, "What does this have to do with me?" She and Qiao Rulong were already divorced, and she wasn’t acquainted with Zhao Feiyang, and this matter also didn’t concern Xu Chunliang, so she wasn’t interested in following it up.

Wang Jiancheng said, "Sister Qingya, don’t blame me for meddling. I always felt this Zhao Feiyang wasn’t a good person." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang pretended it had nothing to do with him, tasting the coffee Ye Qingya served. It was indeed fragrant but also very bitter; this stuff wasn’t as good as tea.

Ye Qingya said, "Whoever he is doesn’t concern me, I only know he’s Qiao Rulong’s benefactor."

Wang Jiancheng said, "Brother Rulong does owe him, but this Zhao Feiyang has his motives too. Recently, Brother Rulong has been helping him acquire Changxing shares, Xiaoxu, you know about this, right?"

Xu Chunliang feigned ignorance, "I’ve already left Changxing, I’m really not sure about their current affairs."

Wang Jiancheng said, "Brother Rulong is quite loyal, I’m just worried he might be exploited by Zhao Feiyang in this regard. Although Huayuan Group is in a somewhat troublesome situation now, Zhao Feiyang is after all a senior executive of Huayuan Group. From a purely business perspective, his actions are betraying the company, which is disdained."

Ye Qingya chuckled, "Why don’t you just say it directly to Qiao Rulong."

Wang Jiancheng sighed, "If he could listen, would I need to say anything? It’s just that your words still have some influence over him now. I suspect that the incident of Zhao Feiyang being beaten was orchestrated by himself."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that Wang Jiancheng is also not simple, seeing through the shady business behind this matter. However, Zhao Feiyang probably wouldn’t be that ruthless to himself, since he cares about his image.

Ye Qingya asked, "Jiancheng, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

This was precisely what Xu Chunliang wanted to ask. Zhao Feiyang gets beaten, Qiao Rulong helps, it’s their business, why are you so worried?

Wang Jiancheng said, "I’ve been playing with Brother Rulong since childhood, and he’s helped me a lot in business too. Those involved can’t see clearly, but spectators can. I just want to remind him to avoid being dragged down in the future."

Ye Qingya nodded, Wang Jiancheng’s reasoning was very sensible.

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, do you really have such deep feelings for Qiao Rulong? If you were truly honorable, you wouldn’t keep thinking about his wife. After being silent for so long, Xu Chunliang finally spoke, "You also have investments in Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd., right?"

Wang Jiancheng looked at Xu Chunliang, thinking this guy is really well-informed. He didn’t deny it and said casually, "I’ve invested a little."

Xu Chunliang said, "I had dinner with Zhao Feiyang last night, I witnessed the whole matter. I just left shortly when Zhao Feiyang got beaten. Today I heard Tang Tianyi is the behind-the-scenes perpetrator and has been called for investigation by the police."

Wang Jiancheng said, "It seems like you also have conflicts with Tang Tianyi."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "I’ve beaten him several times before, so I know Tang Tianyi pretty well. This guy is just a useless nobleman, always indulging in debauchery. Although he is not smart, the likelihood of him hiring someone to beat Zhao Feiyang at this time seems low to me."

Wang Jiancheng asked with interest, "Then who do you think it is?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I don’t know either. Everything should be based on what the police investigation finds."

Wang Jiancheng glanced at his watch, "I have a meeting to attend, gotta go now. Sister Qingya, when you get a chance, give Brother Rulong a call and remind him."

Ye Qingya stood up to see him off, Xu Chunliang didn’t get up.

Wang Jiancheng said, "Xiaoxu, are you leaving? I can give you a ride."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "I’m not in a rush." Secretly cursing, "This guy is really nosy."

Ye Qingya sent Wang Jiancheng to the door. He handed her a concert ticket, but Ye Qingya didn’t take it, reminding him, "Hurry and get busy."

Wang Jiancheng awkwardly put the ticket away, "Don’t forget what we just talked about."

Ye Qingya nodded.

After Wang Jiancheng left, Ye Qingya closed the door and returned to Xu Chunliang, smiling, "You seemed to only say half of what you meant."

Xu Chunliang said, "He’s smart enough, he should understand my point. On the surface, Zhao Feiyang betrays Huayuan Group’s interests, and Huayuan Group detests him. But the final result of this will be that Tang Tianyi gets put in. Right now, it’s the crucial moment of Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd. negotiating the acquisition of Changxing with Huayuan Group. Who do you think is most pleased with the turn of events?"

Ye Qingya said, "You previously said Tang Tianyi couldn’t have someone retaliate against Zhao Feiyang. If he is truly wronged, then someone’s trying to use this matter for an agenda, like..." She didn’t finish because the truth of this matter might make her uncomfortable.

Xu Chunliang said, "Let’s not speculate about things without evidence. Anyway, for Tang Tianyi to get over this, his father will have to pay a price. Changxing Hospital’s shares are likely to be heavily discounted."

Ye Qingya frowned, even though she’s divorced from Qiao Rulong, she thought Qiao Rulong was a decent person. If this was indeed his doing, then it would prove she had misjudged him for years, she whispered, "Could it be Qiao Rulong?"

Xu Chunliang shook his head, "I don’t think so. Qiao Rulong is very proud. He wouldn’t stoop to using such underhanded means. Zhao Feiyang also cares about his image, he wouldn’t employ the ruse of self-infliction. It should be someone who has a vested interest in the transfer of Changxing Shares."

Ye Qingya thought about Wang Jiancheng, if it was him, why would he come forward to advise Qiao Rulong not to associate with Zhao Feiyang? Isn’t this trying to cover up?

Xu Chunliang immediately denied the possibility of Wang Jiancheng too, "It isn’t Wang Jiancheng either, he likely knows the inside story, but isn’t convenient to reveal it. Anyway, this matter serves him well."

Ye Qingya sighed, "Listened to your analysis, perhaps I should steer clear of this."
