Urban Genius Divine Doctor

The men in black who had just gone out were all waiting outside. Seeing Wang Chenning emerge while shoving Li Mingchao, they retreated two steps and fanned out, surrounding the two of them.

Wang Chenning paid them no mind, hauling Li Mingchao forward with large strides. The men in black had no choice but to fall back.

As they rounded a corner in the corridor, one of the men in black suddenly made a move on Wang Chenning.

Several of his companions immediately joined in, attacking Wang Chenning in unison.

With lightning speed, Wang Chenning yanked Li Mingchao in front of him, causing all their attacks to land on him instead.

Although the men in black immediately tried to pull their punches when they realized what was happening, Li Mingchao still screamed repeatedly in pain.

The men in black stared, dumbfounded. Wang Chenning’s speed was simply unreal!

While they stood there in a daze, Wang Chenning struck, swiftly sending the men who had attacked him flying with a series of kicks.

Two of them were kicked straight into a pond, sending a school of feeding koi scattering in fright.

After that, no one else dared to make a move. They could only watch helplessly as Wang Chenning, using Li Mingchao as a human shield, swaggered out of the Yangjiang Clubhouse.

"Eldest Young Master Li, do me a favor and take me back to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine first. As for you, you definitely need a hospital check-up. There are plenty of hospitals that way, so it’s convenient. Once you’re done, come and find me. I’ll be waiting for you!" Wang Chenning pointed to the Mercedes van parked at the entrance, ordered the trailing men in black to open the door, then shoved Li Mingchao inside and got in himself.

Li Mingchao was on the verge of a breakdown. He felt miserable all over and didn’t dare to defy Wang Chenning’s order.

Right then, he ordered one of his bodyguards, "Quick, drive me to the hospital! But first... take Wang Chenning back to his university!"

Not daring to disobey, the bodyguard quickly got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.

As the Mercedes van pulled away, several other cars fell in behind them—all the men in black who had followed them out were now tailing them. Wang Chenning paid them no mind, making small talk and idly "chatting" with Li Mingchao the whole way.

"You know, Eldest Young Master Li, you should stop hitting on other people’s fiancées. The Yang family might be wealthy, but your family has plenty of money too. There’s no need to destroy someone’s marriage just for the Yang family’s business. Besides, Yang Xiaofei isn’t into you. And from our little clash today, you should be able to tell I’m way out of your league."

Li Mingchao glared at Wang Chenning, his face contorted with rage, but Wang Chenning paid him no mind and continued his monologue.

"I know you don’t believe you’re poisoned yet. So after you drop me off, you should hurry to the hospital. Get every test they can run, take every medicine they can prescribe. When you’re done, come find me. And don’t even think about trying to get revenge after I get out of the car. If you do, you might not make it to the hospital. Your life is a hundred times more valuable than those goons, and certainly worth more than a country bumpkin like me. Don’t throw it all away just to let off a little steam."

As he spoke, Wang Chenning pressed two more points on Li Mingchao’s waist. Immediately, Li Mingchao was once again overwhelmed by a feeling that made him wish for death.

"I get it!" he finally conceded in humiliation.

When the car reached the entrance of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Chenning got out, completely unconcerned about whether the men in black would rush him for revenge.

The men in black had tailed him to the university gates. Seeing Wang Chenning get out of the car alone, they immediately gave chase.

"All of you, get back here!" Although Li Mingchao wished he could tear Wang Chenning to shreds, that wasn’t the most important thing right now. Getting to a hospital was.

Confused, the men in black still didn’t dare to disobey Li Mingchao’s command.

The convoy of cars sped off toward a nearby hospital.

When Wang Chenning got back to his place, he told Luo Yuqing about his clash with Li Mingchao earlier that evening.

"That kid’s revenge came that fast?" Luo Yuqing’s surprise seemed exaggerated, but after that one exclamation, she immediately asked Wang Chenning how he’d dealt with it.

"I fed him a poison that only I can cure! He’s on his way to the hospital now!"

"Really?" Luo Yuqing said, a little stunned. "So is that your new move? Anyone who pisses you off gets the same treatment?"

"Well, that depends on who’s pissing me off. If it’s a beauty like you, Auntie, I certainly wouldn’t use this move!"

"Hmph, you’re threatening me!"

"How could I dare threaten you, Auntie!" Wang Chenning chuckled. "You’re one of the good ones. We’re friends. You know the saying: ’Good wine for friends, a shotgun for enemies!’"

"I really underestimated you." Luo Yuqing’s playful expression vanished. "So you’re planning on taming Li Mingchao?"

"It’s not a bad thing to have a dog that bites on command," Wang Chenning didn’t deny it. "Besides, I can’t keep running to you for help with every little thing, Auntie."

"Alright, then I’ll just sit back and watch the show," Luo Yuqing said, not pressing further.

Wang Chenning hadn’t sent her the video of Li Mingchao slandering her. That trump card was meant for Li Mingchao, not for currying favor with Luo Yuqing. Using it that way would severely diminish its impact.

「Two hours later.」

The same number that had called Wang Chenning that afternoon was calling again.

"Eldest Young Master Li!" Wang Chenning answered cheerfully. "All done with your check-up?"

"Give me the antidote." Li Mingchao’s strained, low voice came through the phone.

A cold smirk played on Wang Chenning’s lips. "So, did the hospital say you were poisoned?"

"No!"

"I see," Wang Chenning said, his voice still cheerful. "So you finally believe what I said, don’t you?"

Li Mingchao wished he could fly through the phone line and beat Wang Chenning to a pulp.

’No, that would be letting him off too easy. He had to be given the death of a thousand cuts, but only after turning him into a eunuch first.’

Wang Chenning had been right. Li Mingchao underwent a comprehensive series of tests at the hospital, but the doctors’ conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with him at all.

They found no substance in his system that could be linked to poisoning.

But Li Mingchao knew he was poisoned. He clearly remembered Wang Chenning taking out a packet of powder, dissolving it in water, and forcing him to drink it.

Besides, he felt awful, and the feeling was becoming more unbearable as time went on.

The medicine the hospital prescribed had no effect whatsoever.

"Give me the antidote," Li Mingchao shouted desperately when Wang Chenning made no move to mention it. "Please. I’m begging you."

He was having a complete breakdown, terrified that death could claim him at any moment.

’He was still young. His family was so rich. He hadn’t even begun to truly enjoy the good life. He couldn’t die. Not now, not ever.’

Wang Chenning remained silent for a long moment before replying, "I can give you the antidote. But it won’t be for free!"

Li Mingchao asked hastily, "What do you want?"

Wang Chenning continued, "That video of you bad-mouthing Luo Yuqing... I still haven’t sent it to her!"

Those words sent another shiver down Li Mingchao’s spine.

But all he could do was say submissively, "Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!"

Wang Chenning retorted mockingly, "What if I want the Yangjiang Clubhouse? Would you give me that? What if I want your life? Would you give me that?"

"The Yangjiang Clubhouse is in my father’s name. If you want a clubhouse, I can get you a different one." Li Mingchao, being a sharp guy, seemed to grasp what Wang Chenning was ultimately after. "I’m willing to be your man!"

"What was that? I didn’t quite catch that!"

Li Mingchao said through clenched teeth, "I’m willing to be your dog. I’ll bite whoever you tell me to!"
