Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1533: Those Whose Window Was Closed by God

Chi Lian is assigned the duty of protecting Lin Tong, keeping watch at the Eastern Group. Because Su Yumo also works within the same building, Chi Lian extends his protection to her as well. Concurrently, Xiong Shan, who was originally Su Yumo’s bodyguard, is now stationed by Liu Ying’s side during her work hours.

This arrangement forms a seamless shield; the individuals closest to Ye Xuan are now under extraordinarily robust protection. Even if any vulnerabilities exist, any assassin would face immense difficulty in achieving their objective.

The sun begins its descent, signaling the imminent end of the workday.

As is his routine, Ye Xuan drives towards the Liu’s residence – which has now been rebranded as the Nightingale Group – before the close of business at Eastern Group. His objective is to pick up Liu Ying and Xiong Shan, bringing them back to Eastern Group to facilitate a transfer and changeover of protection duties.

On this very matter, Ye Xuan finds himself growing quite irritated.

Liu Ying, that woman, had indeed departed from East Sea without a word in their past, even liquidating her house and vehicle. Consequently, she presently lacks any personal transport and relies on Ye Xuan for daily commutes, both to and from work.

Even more galling is her reaction when Ye Xuan suggested she purchase a car; she made quite a scene.

"Ye Xuan, does escorting me to and fro vex you? Do I hold any significance in your heart?" This single query left Ye Xuan utterly speechless.

Men from Yan Country certainly face hardship, as the women of Yan Country appear to possess an almost inherent unreasonableness.

Liu Ying’s insistence on Ye Xuan providing her daily transport makes it impractical for Xiong Shan to utilize Lin Tong’s car for his own protective duties.

Su Yumo, by contrast, is far more agreeable.

She never voices complaints about Ye Xuan’s arrangements, consistently exhibiting obedience and never actively seeking his company; her presence is almost imperceptible.

The more she maintains this reserved demeanor, the more Ye Xuan feels compelled to spend time with her.

Conversely, the more Liu Ying acts in her characteristic manner, the more Ye Xuan desires to distance himself from her... The lingering dread from months prior, concerning Liu Ying, seems to have resurfaced.

"Liu Ying, you are truly a monster!"

As the Nightingale Group building loomed ever closer in his view, Ye Xuan’s lips twitched involuntarily while driving, harboring a silent wish to avoid any interaction with that woman during the day.

However, he possessed no alternative.

He brought the car to a stop along the roadside, directly opposite the Nightingale Group.

Ye Xuan exited the vehicle, lit a cigarette, and as he began walking toward the Nightingale Group, he reached for his phone. His intention was to call Liu Ying, urging her to descend quickly and accompany him home.

Yet, before he could even initiate the call.

With his exceptionally sharp vision, Ye Xuan discerned Liu Ying’s captivating figure already positioned at the entrance of the Nightingale Group. Standing impassively behind her was the hulking, well over two-meter-tall Xiong Shan.

A distance of seven meters was maintained between them, a deliberate measure to ensure Xiong Shan did not take undue advantage of Liu Ying. Though, in truth, he neither would nor would he dare; it is common knowledge that Ye Xuan would perceive any such action negatively.

Why, one might wonder, is Ye Lang incapable of protecting Su Yumo? It is because that young man lacks the same discipline as Xiong Shan!

From a distance of seven meters, should an assassin unleash an attack, it would prove challenging for Xiong Shan to guarantee Liu Ying’s complete safety. However, within that seven-meter radius, Xiong Shan harbors absolute confidence in his capabilities...

Xiong Shan possesses a clear understanding of his own limitations. Yet, certain individuals appear to lack such self-awareness.

Consider the middle-aged man currently standing before Liu Ying.

Featuring a round face and large ears, attired in a suit, he presented the appearance of a man of standing. A broad smile plastered on his face, his gaze was fixed upon Liu Ying’s flawless physique, making no effort to conceal the blatant avarice in his eyes.

Ye Xuan’s sharp eyebrow arched slightly: "Could this be a rival for my affections?"

A chuckle escaped Ye Xuan as he immediately increased his pace, reaching the entrance of the Nightingale Group in mere moments.

At this precise juncture, the middle-aged man was persistently bothering Liu Ying.

"Director Liu, the matter we are currently discussing pertains to a business venture valued in the tens of billions. Such a significant collaboration, if we do not partake in a drink and foster a deeper acquaintance tonight, I fear I cannot truly feel at ease!" the middle-aged man declared.

Liu Ying offered a polite smile: "Mr. Sun, your assertion is inaccurate. Business is business; such discussions should strictly occur during operational hours. Engaging in business over drinks has never aligned with my preferences."

"For such a monumental cooperation, surely Director Liu would permit a deviation from the norm for once?" Mr. Sun inquired with a smile.

"No," Liu Ying stated firmly. "Without established rules, there can be no consistent standards. Should I consent to Mr. Sun’s proposal this time, then every party seeking collaboration with our company would consequently expect to conduct business meetings over drinks. I am here to conduct business, not to serve as an accompanying hostess at a bar."

Mr. Sun’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of annoyance crossing his features: "Director Liu, adopting such an uncooperative stance suggests that our companies will encounter significant difficulty in forging a partnership."

Liu Ying’s eyebrow arched subtly: "Are you endeavoring to threaten me?"

Mr. Sun chuckled with a flourish of pride: "It is hardly a threat, Director Liu. I merely consider you a beauty of rare caliber, and I am quite fond of such beauty. To be frank, my sole desire is to cultivate a friendship with you."

"To cultivate a friendship?" Liu Ying’s smile widened. "I fear I am not in a position to unilaterally decide on the formation of a friendship with you."

Mr. Sun froze in place.

Liu Ying glanced towards the distance, stating, "You’ll have to ask my husband if he’s willing to let me make friends with other men."

It was only then that Mr. Sun turned his head, catching sight of Ye Xuan approaching.

Upon seeing the ordinary-looking young man, Mr. Sun’s eyes briefly flashed with coldness before he quickly concealed it, offering a chuckle as he remarked, "I've heard that Director Liu was originally betrothed to the Wang Family's Wang Shaoyang, yet Ye Xuan snatched you away during the engagement party; it seems that story is indeed true."

"Knowing Liu Ying is my woman, yet using the guise of cooperation for harassment, are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Ye Xuan sauntered over, a cigarette dangling from his lips as he chuckled.

"Not at all, not at all," Mr. Sun hastily shook his head. "You are now the lord of the Jianghai Region, and I am also a Jianghai local. How could I possibly consider confronting you? As I mentioned, I simply wished to have a few drinks with Director Liu."

Despite his words, his gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with a provocative intent.

It was as if he was conveying: So what? I, Sun Kun, intend to lay my hands on your woman, and what can you possibly do about it? I am not afraid of you!

Ye Xuan, of course, noticed the glint in his eyes but chose to disregard it.

Shifting his focus, Ye Xuan looked towards Xiong Shan, who stood behind Liu Ying, and asked with a smile, "You’re so quiet?"

Xiong Shan looked blankly at Ye Xuan, replying, "Does Boss want me to make some noise?"

Ye Xuan let out a helpless sigh, shaking his head. "What do you think? Your sister-in-law is being harassed, and you're just standing by?"

Xiong Shan stated matter-of-factly, "Boss only instructed me to protect sister-in-law, not to do anything else. Sister-in-law is not currently in any danger."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Xiong Shan, you truly are a straightforward fellow!

When God opens a window for you, He often closes a door.

The Iron Tower, Xiong Shan, undoubtedly falls into the category of those whose doors have been shut.

He possesses natural physical gifts, is younger than Ye Xuan, yet his combat skills are astonishing. In all of Purgatory, perhaps only Ye Xuan surpasses him.

In a one-on-one fight, he is virtually unbeatable.

What formidable abilities he possesses!

However, his intellect seems to be lacking.

It's not that his IQ is low, but rather he lacks a certain degree of adaptability. He operates strictly by the book, shows no initiative, and understands nothing beyond following direct orders.

This is precisely the reason why Ye Xuan places his complete trust in him.

With someone of Xiong Shan's singular focus, women hold no attraction for him whatsoever. Even if Su Yumo and Liu Ying harbored any ulterior motives towards Ye Xuan, their attempts would be completely futile with Xiong Shan standing guard!

It is precisely because of Xiong Shan's peculiar nature that a rather awkward situation is currently unfolding.
