Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1545: Not a Tragedy, but a Comedy
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Ye Xuan closed his eyes, a deep sigh escaping his lips.
A single punch landed.
Bam!
The sound of a dull thud reverberated as Tyron’s imposing figure abruptly went rigid, his eyes widening in disbelief, pupils dilating. The suit jacket on his back ripped open, revealing a fist-sized bulge, while his entire chest caved inward.
Tyron plummeted to the ground, his body spasming before he met a tragic end.
"This is the fate you’ve earned."
Ye Xuan cast an indifferent gaze upon Tyron’s lifeless form, then turned and walked back towards the SUV.
Opening the car door, he found Lin Tong and little Yun Duo still rigidly seated in the back, silent and visibly tense. The recent gunfire had clearly terrified them deeply.
A gentle smile graced Ye Xuan’s features: "It’s all over now."
"Hoo——"
Lin Tong exhaled a heavy breath, finally releasing the little girl she held. She sat up, her gaze fixed on Ye Xuan with worry: "Honey, are you injured?"
"Just a few insignificant individuals; they lacked the capability to harm me." Ye Xuan responded with a smile. "However, to be safe, we should depart from here swiftly. It's possible members of the Holy Mansion are still in the vicinity."
"Alright."
Lin Tong nodded and hurried to exit the car, but she stumbled, nearly falling.
Ye Xuan quickly caught her, a hint of amusement in his expression: "Wife, if word gets out that the Black Emperor's wife cannot handle a scare, it would be quite embarrassing."
"What are you implying?" Lin Tong blushed slightly, retorting with a touch of indignation. "I merely lay down for too long, and my legs have gone a bit numb, that’s all!"
Indeed, that was the case.
The recent events had been intense and rather frightening, but having weathered so much, Lin Tong wasn’t the sort to be paralyzed by fear so easily.
Ye Xuan didn’t press the matter further. He turned, lifted little Yun Duo from the car, and said with a smile, "Little Yun Duo, this country isn’t very exciting. How about Daddy and Mommy take you to another country for a visit?"
"Okay! As long as Daddy and Mommy are with me, any place is paradise for little Yun Duo!" the child chirped gleefully.
"Such a good girl."
Ye Xuan playfully pinched her delicate nose, his smile full of affection. He then retrieved the suitcase and led Lin Tong and their daughter back towards the airport.
Everything proceeded as if no incident had occurred; an air of remarkable composure surrounded them.
Little Yun Duo blinked her large, beautiful eyes, gazing around. She then asked, with a hint of confusion, "Daddy, did you eliminate all the bad people?"
"Daddy didn't kill anyone; I merely sent them to another world," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
"Another world?" Little Yun Duo inquired, puzzled. "What kind of world is that?"
"It’s a world devoid of sun and moon, known as hell by many." Ye Xuan chuckled. "Good people are not deemed worthy of entering that realm."
"Then little Yun Duo will be a good person!" the child declared earnestly. "I don’t like a world without the sun and moon!"
Ye Xuan burst into hearty laughter, his face radiating immense gratification.
Lin Tong couldn’t help but chuckle softly, her tense mood easing considerably.
Her gaze shifted, settling on Ye Xuan with a touch of concern. "These incidents suggest that Wang Qianjun had anticipated our plans. Will we face similar calamities in the upcoming countries we visit?"
"The Wang Family draws its strength from the Holy Mansion, a formidable power with influence spanning the globe. Such occurrences are bound to continue."
Ye Xuan stated with a placid smile, "However, this is not a tragedy; it's a comedy."
"Not a tragedy, but a comedy?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s pronouncement, Lin Tong could not help but feel a sense of bewilderment, her expression growing somewhat perplexed.
She inwardly questioned if Ye Xuan had misspoke.
This assault by the Wang Family had severely impacted the Eastern Group’s building materials business, leading them to amass nearly forty billion for an expansion into foreign markets.
Yet, Ye Xuan spoke of encountering the same betrayals as with Tyron in the subsequent crucial countries they were set to visit.
In essence, their prospects for success were diminishing; they might travel extensively only to achieve nothing, potentially bringing about the ruin of the Eastern Group.
How could such a predicament be construed as comedic?
Perhaps it was comedic from the Wang Family’s perspective?
Sensing Lin Tong’s puzzled reaction, Ye Xuan chuckled, "Wife, your hearing is not mistaken. The more this situation unfolds in this manner, the greater our advantage becomes. If the next few countries proceed too smoothly, it might not augur well."
"Our objective overseas is to capture major building materials markets. Losing a market signifies a gain in crisis. If the same situation arises in the next few countries, how is that beneficial?"
Lin Tong remained baffled, unable to grasp Ye Xuan’s peculiar line of reasoning.
"Experiencing such setbacks is merely part of the process. Our ability to secure these markets ultimately hinges on the final outcome." Ye Xuan said with a faint smile. "Processes are fleeting illusions; only results hold true substance."
Lin Tong frowned, her lovely eyes lost in thought as she regarded Ye Xuan, sensing something and quickly questioning, "Are you keeping something from me?"
Ye Xuan offered a smile instead of a direct answer.
"Did you know from the start that our plan wouldn't go smoothly?" Lin Tong’s pupils contracted, astonishment dawning on her face.
"No one achieves success by accident; if everything were simple, the world would have no poor people."
Ye Xuan chuckled, stating, "Wang Qianjun is not foolish; quite the contrary, he's rather cunning. Since he took action, how could he allow us to resolve issues with clear foresight?"
"Thus, he has long utilized the Holy Mansion's power to dismantle all our connections. Even those few who resist its might and stand with us are but a small fraction, incapable of altering our dire situation."
Lin Tong pursed her lips, remarking, "He has effectively sealed off all our escape routes!"
Ye Xuan simply nodded with a smile.
Lin Tong’s expression turned grim: "Since you anticipated all of this, why are you foolishly here? Isn't this a futile effort?"
"Life itself is like a performance, all dependent on the act."
Ye Xuan waved his hand casually, a smile playing on his lips: "The Holy Mansion's influence is pervasive, existing in the shadows, while we operate in the open. Engaging them directly would be true self-destruction."
Lin Tong found herself at a loss, unable to grasp Ye Xuan's intentions.
She felt the urge to inquire multiple times, but upon reflection, Lin Tong chose silence. After all, walls have ears, and revealing Ye Xuan's strategy might lead to its exposure by others, a potentially far worse outcome.
Observing his confident and composed demeanor, a sense of certainty seemed to emanate from him.
"I must place my trust in him!"
Lin Tong whispered to herself, recalling that unity between a couple can overcome any obstacle.
She was certain Ye Xuan would not let her down!
