Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1534: The Sinister Wang Family
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Ye Xuan's subtle hint was quite clear, almost to the point of commanding Xiong Shan to confront and incapacitate Sun Kun. However, Xiong Shan seemed incapable of grasping the implication.
He gazed at Ye Xuan with a bewildered expression, asking, "Boss, when you blinked at me, what did that signify? Was it an order? What exactly do you want me to do?"
"I..." Ye Xuan's lips twitched, leaving him momentarily speechless.
"Hahaha!"
Upon witnessing this exchange, Sun Kun erupted in laughter. "Is he an imbecile? I never expected the esteemed Lord Ye to associate with such simpletons. Lord Ye, when did your standards begin to decline so drastically?"
Ye Xuan paid him no mind, resting his forehead in his hand with an air of utter exasperation as he addressed Xiong Shan. "Can you see? This fellow is intentionally provoking me."
Xiong Shan froze for a beat, as if a sudden realization dawned upon him. His powerful frame trembled, and an intense killing intent erupted, reaching towards the heavens. "I will eliminate him!"
"There’s no need for that," Ye Xuan replied with a casual smile. "Just cripple him."
"Understood!"
Xiong Shan moved with astonishing speed.
Sun Kun's countenance shifted dramatically. "Ye Xuan, how dare you!"
The two bodyguards accompanying him reacted instantly, attempting to intercept Xiong Shan.
However, reality presented a brutal spectacle.
Bang bang!
With two concussive thuds, the bodyguards were sent flying, their chests caved inwards, indicative of at least twenty broken ribs.
Sun Kun's eyes widened in disbelief.
An ordeal of unimaginable severity was about to commence for him.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had already taken Liu Ying's small hand and was heading towards the main road. Without looking back, he called out, "Xiong Shan, you've displeased me today. As punishment, I expect you to reach the Eastern Group headquarters within thirty minutes!"
With that, Ye Xuan entered a luxurious vehicle alongside Liu Ying and drove away.
Xiong Shan proceeded to pummel Sun Kun for six minutes. Each blow was delivered with calculated precision, ensuring enough damage to leave Sun Kun teetering on the brink of death without actually ending his life.
At this juncture, Sun Kun's body was a mosaic of shattered bones, and he lay prone on the ground, consumed by terror and astonishment.
He simply could not fathom that this hulking brute would act with such unrestrained ferocity in broad daylight!
Were there no laws?
Was there no justice?
He was merely a subordinate of the Wang Family, dispatched to stir up trouble and mildly inconvenience Ye Xuan. Did that warrant such merciless brutality?
Once Xiong Shan had thoroughly incapacitated Sun Kun, he seemed to dismiss the event from his mind, as if it were a task completed.
He retrieved his phone, checked the time, and muttered to himself, "Twenty-four minutes remaining."
Bang!
With a powerful stomp, the ground beneath him fractured, and Xiong Shan's imposing figure vanished almost instantaneously.
Left behind were the employees of Nightingale Group, frozen in place, their senses slow to return to normal.
"Good heavens... is he even human?"
Recalling their initial encounter with Xiong Shan just a few days prior, many had covertly scoffed at his seemingly foolish demeanor. Now, an unsettling chill coursed through their veins.
"He's going to kill someone!"
...
At this very moment, Ye Xuan was driving, taking Liu Ying back towards the Eastern Group.
As they traveled, Ye Xuan chuckled, "The next time you find yourself in a similar predicament, refrain from wasting words. Simply let Xiong Shan handle it directly."
"I would if I could, but Xiong Shan is truly far too obstinate. This morning, I asked him to help me with the trash, and he insisted that you hadn't instructed him to do so, refusing to budge. In the situation just now, how could I possibly dare to tell him to act? What if he ignored me? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?" Liu Ying responded, her voice laced with a hint of grievance.
Ye Xuan appeared somewhat sheepish. "Very well, I shall instruct him to heed your commands next time."
"That sounds more reasonable," Liu Ying replied with a pleased smile. She then sighed, adding, "That Sun Kun from earlier is a prominent real estate mogul in the Jianghai region. We might face some significant repercussions after such a severe confrontation."
Ye Xuan gave a slight start. "What sort of repercussions?"
"While the Nightingale Group may not suffer greatly, the Eastern Group will undoubtedly encounter difficulties."
Liu Ying elaborated, "Currently, the Eastern Group's primary development focus is in building materials. Within the Jianghai region, it's estimated that at least nine out of every ten real estate companies have substantial investments from the Sun Family. If Sun Kun seeks revenge, a direct blockade order could severely impact the sales of the Eastern Group's building materials."
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. "It appears this is aimed at you, but in reality, it targets the Eastern Group. Wang Qianjun, that old fox, is truly devious."
Indeed, his scheme was cunning.
By leveraging the Sun Family's entrenched position in Jianghai's real estate market, this conflict was instigated. The intention was to cripple the rapidly expanding building materials sector of the Eastern Group, a move that would deliver a devastating blow to its financial flow.
If this issue remained unresolved, the Eastern Group would either face stagnation in the long run or its capital chain could collapse, leading to an utter catastrophe.
Should the funding be critically compromised, the Demon Crystal development project, which has yet to be officially unveiled, would face an unavoidable halt. It might even be the case that the project would never see the light of day again in this lifetime.
Within a mere few years, the Eastern Group would inevitably be ruined!
"Wang Qianjun is truly insidious and cunning, always striking without warning, making it impossible to prepare," Liu Ying observed, shaking her head.
She continued, "There's no need to even guess. The Wang Family has undoubtedly already issued warnings to all major property magnates across the nation. With the Sun Family spearheading this, it becomes impossible for the Eastern Group to secure willing partners in other regions moving forward."
Ye Xuan directed a thoughtful glance at Liu Ying. "Do you possess a solution?"
Liu Ying regretfully shook her head. "No."
A heavy silence fell upon Ye Xuan.
After observing Ye Xuan for a moment, a flicker of guilt crossed Liu Ying's beautiful eyes. "Actually, you knew from the very beginning that Sun Kun was aligned with the Wang Family. Even knowing it was a trap, you still chose to walk into it. If we hadn't intervened just now, perhaps there might still have been a chance for a favorable turn."
"No, there wouldn't have been," Ye Xuan stated, brushing aside her suggestion. "Since this is clearly a scheme orchestrated by the Wang Family, even if we had followed Sun Kun's every move precisely, the ultimate outcome would have remained precisely the same."
Liu Ying offered no further words.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan let out a soft laugh. "Even if there were a way out, as you suggested, it’s not a path I desire."
Liu Ying looked at him, surprised.
A slight curl touched Ye Xuan's lips, his gaze hardening with each passing moment. "If my very survival necessitates my woman suffering, then as the Black Emperor, I am living far too cowardly a life."
Ye Xuan's declaration, though not loud, carried an undeniable power, seemingly piercing directly into the listener's heart, like an echo of a demonic chant that lingered in the air.
Upon hearing his words, Liu Ying remained momentarily stunned.
Then, a gentle smile bloomed on her face. This man, several years her junior, possessed these remarkable moments that could inadvertently touch one's soul. At times, he made others feel helpless, even frustrated.
However, Liu Ying was never one to stand on ceremony.
The deep emotions stirred within her were never outwardly expressed.
Her beautiful eyes glinting, Liu Ying laughed and declared, "Wang Qianjun's eagerness for revenge is largely due to me. I will dedicate all my efforts to help defend the Eastern Group alongside all of you."
Ye Xuan chuckled. "Let's discuss this with my wife first."
"Mm."
Liu Ying nodded, not adding any more words. Her gaze drifted out the window, a subtle trace of guilt momentarily flashing within her eyes.
Previously, when facing Lin Tong, Liu Ying could stand tall and compete for Ye Xuan's affection, even twisting the truth to provoke Lin Tong. This was because she felt she owed Lin Tong nothing.
But now, her debt to Lin Tong was growing with each passing moment.
Seated in the passenger seat, the seemingly distracted Liu Ying appeared to make a decision. Without Ye Xuan noticing, she discreetly retrieved her phone and began typing a message.
"See how much funding can be secured in the shortest possible time using my shares in the Nightingale Group."
