Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1523: 1523: East Sea, Killing Intent Surges!
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Ye Xuan was taken aback, his displeasure immediately surfacing. “Li Xiyuan, is this how you treat people? I just made the Liu Family lose face, and now you want to kick me out? Isn’t that just using and then discarding me?”
Li Xiyuan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Using and then discarding?
Ye Xuan, can you have a little more shame?
However, after a few days of interaction, Li Xiyuan was no longer surprised by Ye Xuan. She let out a couple of sneers and said, “First, you chose to embarrass the Liu Family of your own accord; it wasn’t something I asked you to do. This matter holds no real significance for the Li Family.
Second, I’m not forcing you to leave. If you wish to stay, the Li Family is always open, but the entire Li Family is discussing the peculiar noises you make at night. If you heard it yourself, how would you feel?”
Ye Xuan was startled by this revelation.
Li Tianhao suddenly recalled something, a highly amused expression crossing his face. “Right, right, brother, I truly can’t figure you out. I never expected that despite looking so mighty and fierce, you’d have such peculiar preferences at night. It’s not that I want to nag, but this habit really needs to be changed. Otherwise, it could easily tarnish sister-in-law’s reputation!”
Oh, heavens!
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened, and he instinctively glanced at Liu Ying, who was stifling laughter beside him.
Liu Ying, I’m truly ruined because of you!
Sensing the resentment in Ye Xuan’s gaze, Liu Ying quickly suppressed her laughter. She let out a soft sigh and said, “Paper can’t wrap fire, and I didn’t expect everyone to know. In that case, I’ll book a flight immediately, until fate brings us together again.”
With that, Liu Ying proceeded to contact the airline.
Ye Xuan felt like crying but had no tears.
My reputation is utterly destroyed!
The East Sea basked under clear skies and brilliant sunshine.
Even the early winter breeze carried more of a refreshing coolness than a biting chill.
Lin Tong, dressed in casual autumn wear, reclined on a deck chair on the balcony. She gazed at the starry sky, appreciating the serene and beautiful night scenery, imbued with a hint of a domestic woman’s charm.
Peerless elegance!
Beside Lin Tong, in a child-sized deck chair, lay the adorable and delicate figure of little Yun Duo. Mother and daughter seemed synchronized, both lost in contemplation of the stars.
Suddenly.
Little Yun Duo blinked her eyes and inquired, “Mama, what are those stars in the sky? Why are some so bright, while others are dim?”
“The stars in the sky are like people on the ground; some are outstanding, while others are unremarkable,” Lin Tong replied with a smile. “But some who seem unremarkable are actually far more remarkable than those who appear outstanding.”
Little Yun Duo looked puzzled. “Mama, your words are so profound; little Yun Duo doesn’t quite understand…”
Lin Tong affectionately patted little Yun Duo’s head and chuckled. “It means you can’t always judge things by their appearance. Those stars that seem dim are actually suns, just like ours, whereas those that appear bright and shiny are merely small stars or even tiny meteorites.”
“Oh…” Little Yun Duo nodded. “I still don’t quite grasp it, though.”
Lin Tong laughed. “When little Yun Duo grows up and attends school, the teachers there will gradually explain these things to you.”
Little Yun Duo seemed to understand, yet not entirely.
After a moment, little Yun Duo asked again, “Mama, when will Papa come home? Little Yun Duo really misses Papa…”
Lin Tong’s smile widened. “Papa just called Mama. He’ll be home early tomorrow morning. Then, Mama will take you to pick Papa up, okay?”
“Yes, yes!” Little Yun Duo exclaimed with excitement. “Then I won’t sleep tonight! I’ll wait for Mama to take me to pick up Papa!”
Lin Tong shook her head and chuckled. “Not sleeping isn’t an option. Little Yun Duo needs to sleep every day to grow!”
Little Yun Duo was about to respond.
Suddenly, an eerie laugh echoed. “Such deep mother-daughter affection! Too bad, you’re both about to die!”
As the voice faded, Lin Tong’s delicate face changed dramatically. Driven by maternal instinct, she immediately sat up and pulled little Yun Duo into a protective embrace.
Then, Lin Tong glanced towards the source of the voice and saw a sinister man clad in black.
Upon noticing the sharp sword in the sinister man’s hand, Lin Tong frowned, her face instantly paling.
However, having weathered numerous great storms, Lin Tong was not one to be paralyzed by fear.
She coldly fixed her gaze on the man in black and asked, “Who are you?”
“Miss Lin is highly perceptive. Do you really need to ask who I am?” the sinister man sneered.
Lin Tong paused, then a sudden realization dawned. “You’re an expert from the Wang Family?”
The sinister man offered no verbal response, implicitly confirming her guess.
Lin Tong’s lips curled slightly, and a trace of surprise inevitably flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Word spread of Ye Xuan's alleged massacre at the Nightingale Villa in Yanzi City, a deed that reportedly cost the Wang and Liu Families their direct heirs, inflicting substantial losses.
Retaliation from the Wang Family was anticipated, but its swift arrival was unexpected.
A relentless snowfall blanketed Yanzi City during this period. Ye Xuan, unable to return home, found himself facing a sudden appearance of a formidable Wang Family expert.
What did this signify?
It suggested that before Ye Xuan even reached Yanzi City, the events appeared to be part of a meticulously planned conspiracy!
Had Ye Xuan met his demise in Yanzi City, this elaborate scheme might have remained hidden forever. However, his victory paved the way for Lin Tong's imminent peril.
Their objective was to use Lin Tong's death as a devastating blow against Ye Xuan!
"Such heartless cruelty..."
Lin Tong clenched her teeth, her expression a mixture of fury and despair. "The Wang Family, a supposedly reputable household, stoops to attacking the elderly and women. Utterly shameless!"
"And so what if our methods are ruthless?" the sinister man sneered. "Without proof, how could anyone implicate the Wang Family? Even if they suspected, who would dare speak out?"
The harsh indifference of reality settled in.
Lin Tong closed her eyes, her delicate hands first tightening into fists, then slowly releasing their tension.
When her eyes fluttered open again, the anger had vanished, replaced by a profound, almost detached acceptance of fate.
Her voice, calm and steady, declared, "This child is not ours, nor is she my child with Ye Xuan. If you intend to kill, then kill me."
"That is not your decision to make."
A chilling grin spread across the sinister man's face. Without another word, he lifted his foot, commencing his advance towards Lin Tong.
"Mama, Little Yun Duo will protect you!"
Suddenly breaking free from Lin Tong's embrace, Little Yun Duo darted towards the sinister man with incredible speed.
Despite her small frame, Little Yun Duo moved with astonishing swiftness.
Lin Tong gasped, attempting to intervene, but it was far too late.
In less than a heartbeat, Little Yun Duo reached the sinister man, launching herself high into the air with a powerful kick, soaring nearly two meters.
"Bad guy, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Little Yun Duo's childish cry was followed by a swift blow to the surprised sinister man's face.
The impact immediately knocked out three of his front teeth.
Lin Tong quickly regained her composure. Grabbing a nearby flower pot, she charged towards the fallen assailant, yelling, "Little Yun Duo, run as fast and as far as you can!"
