Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1563: The Wang Family Is No More

Wang Qianjun shut his eyes, a wave of sorrow washing over him.

There was perhaps no greater tragedy in this world than his current predicament.

His only son, brutally destroyed; his family's reputation, shattered. Those who once bowed and scraped before him now added insult to injury, even daring to dream of seizing all he possessed.

The sheer ugliness of human nature, the depths of human greed!

Wang Qianjun felt a strange mix of predictability and shock.

A heavy silence descended, stretching the atmosphere taut.

Liu Qiankun flashed a grin, then burst into laughter. "Brother Wang, you actually have another path open to you. Hand over all the Wang Family's assets. Considering our past acquaintance, I might just spare your life. As for the rest of your family, I fear I can do little."

Wang Qianjun opened his eyes, regarding Liu Qiankun with a flicker of amusement. "Should I be thanking you for such magnanimity?"

"Brother Wang, you are too polite," Liu Qiankun replied with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Wang Qianjun erupted into hearty laughter.

Liu Qiankun observed him calmly, his patience unwavering.

As he laughed, the frail Wang Qianjun began to cough uncontrollably, spewing frothy blood that stained his lips, rendering his gaunt features chillingly sinister.

Wang Qianjun glared at Liu Qiankun, a sneer twisting his lips. "Liu Qiankun, you believe you've won? No, you have already lost."

Liu Qiankun raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"You might not realize it, but you have already been administered a deadly poison."

Wang Qianjun's eyes narrowed, his face contorted with mocking laughter. "This poison initially causes weakness and illness, but over time, your body will rot from the inside out until death claims you. Only I possess the antidote."

"Are you referring to the 'Enchanting Fragrance'?" Liu Qiankun chuckled softly, completely unfazed.

Wang Qianjun froze, his eyes widening in sheer horror.

"Brother Wang, no need for such surprise."

Liu Qiankun continued with a laugh, "My wife is still my wife. You intended for her to poison me, but did you ever consider that from the very beginning, it was I who orchestrated her seduction of you?"

Wang Qianjun gasped, his eyes fixed on the beautiful woman seated beside Liu Qiankun, his disbelief palpable.

The beautiful woman offered a faint smile. "Qianjun, I am so sorry. The poison you asked me to give my husband accidentally fell into your family's well."

At that revelation, Wang Qianjun's entire body went rigid.

The Wang family had a peculiar habit: all the water used within the manor was drawn from underground wells. If the 'Enchanting Fragrance' had indeed fallen into their well, it implied that hundreds within the Wang family had been poisoned.

And Wang Qianjun only had the antidote for a single person!

This was... annihilation!

"You... you..."

Wang Qianjun clutched his chest, his gaze locked fiercely onto the beautiful woman. Rage consumed his mind, his face flushing a deep red. He teetered on the brink of collapse, sustained only by sheer force of will.

Liu Qiankun let out a light chuckle. "Brother Wang, anger serves no purpose now. Instead of stewing in frustration, why not head home and take your antidote? Perhaps it will grant you a few more days before Ye Xuan arrives to finish you off."

Wang Qianjun clenched his jaw, his teeth grinding.

Then, Liu Qiankun laughed once more. "Ah, I almost forgot to mention something else. A short while ago, I also had my wife administer a toxin to you, similar to your 'Enchanting Fragrance'. The only distinction? This particular toxin has no antidote."

"Liu Qiankun, you..."

Wang Qianjun's eyes blazed with fury, transforming into the crimson irises of a cornered beast. "Hei Shi, kill them! Kill this pair of dogs!"

Hei Shi was the man cloaked in black, standing behind Wang Qianjun.

This individual had been Wang Qianjun's sole confidant for many years, a figure who rarely appeared in public and possessed unwavering loyalty.

More importantly, he possessed exceptional combat prowess.

Normally, a single command from Wang Qianjun would send Hei Shi into action without hesitation. Yet, even with such a desperate order today, Hei Shi remained rooted to the spot, utterly motionless.

Wang Qianjun's thick eyebrows shot up, a chilling premonition gripping his heart.

Liu Qiankun offered another smile. "Brother Wang, haven't you noticed that lately, Hei Shi hasn't taken any water in front of you?"

Suddenly, Wang Qianjun's gaze snapped towards Hei Shi.

Hei Shi stated expressionlessly, "The well water is poisoned. I cannot drink it."

How could Hei Shi possibly know about the poisoned well water?

It was because he, too, had become one of Liu Qiankun's pawns!

Since when did it matter?

The timing was irrelevant now...

Wang Qianjun's fury reached its zenith, only to be followed by an unusual sense of calm.

This time, he was truly done for.

He should have known better!

Damn that stroke of luck, damn his own self-righteousness!

Wang Qianjun had once believed the Liu family was merely a pawn he manipulated. But today, he realized he had been the pawn in Liu Qiankun's game all along!

Defeated, utterly defeated.

He had lost to Ye Xuan, and now, he had lost to Liu Qiankun!

Paradoxically, Wang Qianjun, who had never accepted defeat throughout his life, found himself willingly admitting defeat this time.

Though endowed with advantages in politics, geography, and human relations, Ye Xuan, a paragon of excellence, still found himself consistently outmatched by another. This fact alone sufficiently demonstrated that Wang Qianjun was fundamentally no match for Ye Xuan.

Liu Qiankun, a man whose ambitions knew no bounds, capable of dispatching his own kin and offering his wife for others' pleasure without a flicker of remorse, presented an insurmountable obstacle. How could Wang Qianjun possibly contend with such a figure?

Caught between ferocious tigers and lurking wolves, the downfall of the Wang Family seemed an unavoidable fate.

"Hoo—"

Wang Qianjun let out a deep exhalation, his eyes opening once more, now stripped of their former sharpness.

He gazed at Liu Qiankun, a sigh escaping his lips: "My skills are inferior, and I readily admit defeat. All that the Wang Family possesses, I will cede to you. I only ask that you spare my life."

"Naturally. Brother Wang has always treated me well. Now that I find myself in a position of power, it is only fitting that I reciprocate some sentiment."

Liu Qiankun offered a smile, turning to retrieve a sheaf of documents he had already prepared. He placed them before Wang Qianjun: "These are the transfer documents for the shares in the Wang Family's key enterprises. I have everything prepared for you. A simple signature and seal, and they will take effect."

Wang Qianjun, without hesitation, affixed his signature and seal to each agreement.

After reviewing the documents, Liu Qiankun inquired with a smile: "Brother Wang, would you care to stay for a meal?"

"There is no need."

Wang Qianjun rose and departed.

Hei Shi observed Liu Qiankun, awaiting his direction.

Liu Qiankun offered no response.

Consequently, Wang Qianjun exited the Liu Family estate unhindered.

The beautiful woman by Liu Qiankun's side could not suppress her question: "Qiankun, why did you not have him killed?"

"He is already a dying man. What difference does it make whether I kill him or not?" Liu Qiankun chuckled lightly. "The poison is untreatable. Given the immense stress he is under, he does not have many days left."

The beautiful woman offered flattery: "Qiankun, your magnanimity is truly boundless. From this moment forward, the Wang Family will cease to exist in this world."

"Indeed, the Wang Family will cease to exist in this world."

Liu Qiankun smiled, then abruptly turned his gaze towards the beautiful woman beside him, his expression one of harmless amusement. "And at the same time, so shall you."

A look of profound shock spread across the beautiful woman's face.
