Medical and Martial God

Seeing this, a deep killing intent flashed across Ye Xiu’s eyes. He had originally thought the Xu Family was merely a member of the Long Family Alliance. He never expected them to be an actual branch of the Long Family.

In that case, I’ll have to have some real fun with the Xu Family!

Ye Xiu continued reading the text message from Gong Jin.

"Also, Xu Zhiqiang went to Jiao Fuping to ask about Qin Ming’s whereabouts. Jiao Fuping encouraged him to go after you, as he’s trying to use Xu Zhiqiang to eliminate you. Xu Zhiqiang should be arriving at Mingde Ancient Medical Hall soon. This man is reckless and lawless, so you should prepare yourself..."

Gong Jin’s words were not out of concern that Ye Xiu might beat or kill Xu Zhiqiang. Rather, it was because Ye Xiu was undercover as R7 among the Fire Seed elites. If he beat or killed Xu Zhiqiang, his cover would be blown.

"Have the cameras and listening devices you installed in Jiao Fuping’s office found or recorded any evidence sufficient to destroy Wankang Wellness Hall?" Ye Xiu texted.

Gong Jin replied, "Yes. Last night, Jiao Fuping sent a man to kill you. You ordered me to deal with him, but I secretly kept him alive, and he has now agreed to testify."

"Also, I have the video and audio recordings from this morning of Jiao Fuping instructing Chef Liu to pretend he had lost his sense of smell to scam money at Mingde Ancient Medical Hall."

After reading the messages, Ye Xiu pondered for a moment before replying, "This evidence is enough to bring down Wankang Wellness Hall. Go ahead and make your move."

Gong Jin responded, "Understood!"

Ye Xiu put away his phone and was about to continue taking the old man’s pulse when he suddenly saw Xu Zhiqiang striding in arrogantly.

"Who is Ye Liangchen!" Xu Zhiqiang yelled as if he owned the place, his attitude extremely arrogant.

"Young Master Xu?" Song Yushu quickly ran over and asked, "Do you need something from Ye Liangchen, Young Master Xu?"

"Whether I have business with Ye Liangchen is none of your damn business. Get him to roll out here for me," Xu Zhiqiang bellowed, completely ignoring Song Yushu.

"This..." Song Yushu panicked. Seeing Xu Zhiqiang’s attitude, he knew this visit was for nothing good. The Xu Family was an Ancient Martial Family, not someone Ye Liangchen could afford to provoke.

Just as Song Yushu was wondering what to do, Ye Xiu stood up. "I am Ye Liangchen."

Xu Zhiqiang turned to look at him as if he were an ant and demanded, "Where is Qin Ming?"

Ye Xiu paid no mind to Xu Zhiqiang’s attitude. "Yesterday evening, Qin Ming was discharged from the hospital with Wang Cuilan."

"Where did they go?" Xu Zhiqiang asked.

"Once patients are discharged, they are no longer my concern. They don’t need to report their whereabouts to me, nor do I ask," Ye Xiu said.

Xu Zhiqiang’s face turned ugly. He strode over, grabbed Ye Xiu by the collar, and asked coldly, "Kid, you’d better tell me the truth. Don’t make me torture a confession out of you."

When Xu Zhiqiang got physical, Song Yushu’s heart leaped into his throat. Please, don’t fight back, Ye Liangchen... If this conflict escalates, both Ye Liangchen and the Song Family will be doomed.

"You’d better let go. Otherwise, you’ll spend the rest of your life with only one hand," Ye Xiu warned coldly, his eyes glinting.

Song Yushu grew anxious when he heard this. Idiot! Why is he talking back to Xu Zhiqiang? He’s just provoking him to attack!

"Quite the backbone, huh? Come with me." Xu Zhiqiang gripped Ye Xiu’s collar and started dragging him away.

In the past, he was utterly reckless. He could have killed Ye Xiu in public, and the Long Family would have cleaned up the mess for him. But things were different now. The Long Family was on Huang Quan’s life-and-death list, so the Xu Family had to keep as low a profile as possible. If they drew Huang Quan’s attention and were exposed as a branch of the Long Family, it would be the end for them.

Therefore, he needed to take Ye Xiu somewhere private to torture a confession out of him.

Ye Xiu didn’t resist, letting Xu Zhiqiang drag him along. He didn’t want to fight in public either, as it would damage his and Mingde Ancient Medical Hall’s image.

"Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu..." Seeing Xu Zhiqiang dragging Ye Liangchen off to some unknown location, Song Yushu hurried after them to plead.

"Young Master Xu, please, for my sake and for the Song Family’s, let Ye Liangchen go this time! I’ll apologize on his behalf. We’ll give you any compensation you want!"

Xu Zhiqiang completely ignored him and dragged Ye Xiu straight into the doctors’ on-call room at the corner of the hallway.

"All of you, get out," Xu Zhiqiang ordered coldly upon seeing the doctors and nurses inside.

The doctors and nurses were utterly bewildered.

"Everyone, please leave," Song Yushu said.

They immediately got up and left the room, their faces etched with confusion, wondering who Divine Doctor Ye Liangchen had offended.

"Your name is Ye Liangchen, right? I’m giving you one last chance. Tell me where Qin Ming is, or I’ll have to torture it out of you," Xu Zhiqiang said impatiently, still gripping Ye Xiu’s collar.

"I’ll also give you one more chance. Take your filthy hands off me, or face the consequences," Ye Xiu replied coldly.

Song Yushu was speechless. Friend, there’s no one else here. What’s wrong with just backing down and apologizing? It’s not like I would tell anyone.

"Fine. Since you’ve chosen the hard way, don’t blame me for what comes next." With his right hand still gripping Ye Xiu’s collar, Xu Zhiqiang clenched his left hand into a fist and threw a vicious punch at Ye Xiu’s face.

However, halfway there, his fist suddenly stopped. His face instantly turned a purplish-red, and his entire body began to tremble.

Song Yushu was baffled, but when his eyes fell on Ye Xiu’s foot, positioned perfectly between Xu Zhiqiang’s legs, a look of horrified realization dawned on him.

So Ye Liangchen hit him with a crippling kick to the groin!

It’s over... it’s all over! This feud between Ye Liangchen and the Xu Family can never be resolved now!

"I gave you a chance," Ye Xiu said, his face devoid of emotion.

"You... you dare to fight back? I... I’ll fucking kill you!" Xu Zhiqiang gasped, forcing himself to endure the intense pain. He erupted with rage and launched a furious assault on Ye Xiu.

He was a Seventh Grade Martial Artist. An attack fueled by such rage was not to be underestimated.

But he was facing Huang Quan.

BANG!

Ye Xiu’s leg shot out and kicked Xu Zhiqiang squarely in the chest. The latter was lifted off his feet and sent flying backward like a shell, crashing through a chair and a desk before finally slamming into the wall with a loud thud.

"This..." Song Yushu’s eyes widened in utter shock.

A Martial Artist! Ye Liangchen is actually a Martial Artist!

For Song Yushu, it was not a difficult conclusion to reach. After all, Xu Zhiqiang was a Martial Artist, so for Ye Liangchen to send him flying with a single kick, he had to be one too.

"Cough, cough... An Eighth Grade Grandmaster?" Xu Zhiqiang coughed up a mouthful of blood as he slowly got to his feet, both humiliated and enraged.

As a member of the Long Family, he had been showered with resources since birth, yet he had only managed to become a Seventh Grade Martial Artist. This lowly doctor was only a year or two older than him, yet without the same powerful backing, his strength surpassed his own.

This was a direct insult to his talent!

He had to die!

"You’re a mere Seventh Grade, yet you dare to be so arrogant and tyrannical?" Ye Xiu said coldly.
