Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1768 - 1769: Like a Blade Piercing the Throat, Like a Sword Severing the Gut
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Wu Yuanshan turned his head to look at the scene and noticed that right under Zhou Wei’s knees, there was a large patch of broken glass shards.
"This lowly one understands."
The sharp-witted Wu Yuanshan got it, suddenly glared at Zhou Wei, and barked in a deep voice, "Zhou Wei, all of this started because of you. Not only did you disturb Lord Ye’s mood, you’ve turned this place into a total mess. What are you still dazing out for? If you don’t want to die, then clean this place up for me, spotless!"
Zhou Wei froze. Just cleaning the place, that simple?
He was more than willing!
"Y-yes, yes!"
Zhou Wei hastily tried to get up, intending to look for a broom.
But his knees hadn’t even lifted yet.
When Wu Yuanshan lashed out, "Who told you to stand up?"
Zhou Wei hurriedly knelt back down, staring at Wu Yuanshan with a face full of confusion. "Uncle, I...I was going to find a broom."
"Who said you could use a broom to clean? And another thing, I’m not your uncle!" Wu Yuanshan roared in fury. "Use your mouth. Clean it with your mouth!"
What?
Everyone at the scene was horrified when they heard that!
Use his mouth to clean up all these shards of glass on the floor? How...how is that any different from suicide?
These were razor-sharp, bone-piercing shards of glass!
Zhou Wei was completely stunned, staring at Wu Yuanshan with sheer terror on his face, something stuck in his throat so that he couldn’t get a word out.
Wu Yuanshan’s rage only mounted. "What are you staring at me for? Right now there are only two roads in front of you: either the entire Zhou Family is buried with you, or you finish eating all these glass shards and live or die by Heaven’s will!"
Zhou Wei’s eyes went round, his pupils tightening as countless strands of fear and disbelief surged together, as if even now he didn’t dare believe that things today had actually been driven to this point.
The Su Family’s little would-be son-in-law actually turned out to be the legendary Lord Ye of Yan Country!
He no longer had any room to choose!
This pile of glass shards—if he ate them, it would be utter humiliation, and even if he lived he’d be half-crippled. But if he didn’t eat them, he believed the entire Zhou Family really would be buried with him!
Regret. Regret not thinking ahead!
Why?
Why did he have to set his sights on Su Yumo?
Why did he have to act arrogant even after meeting Lord Ye?
Why did he have to know a beast like Xie Zhenyu?
There was no why.
This was Heaven’s will!
Zhou Wei shut his eyes in bitter regret and pain, clenched his jaw. "I...I’ll eat!"
Zhou Wei moved to open his mouth.
Tap!
The always silent and taciturn Ye Xuan suddenly tapped the tabletop once.
All gazes gathered onto him once again.
Ye Xuan had long since become the center of this room, like the sun of a solar system, with every living being forced to revolve around him.
"So many glass shards, there’s no way one person can finish them."
Ye Xuan smiled, looking at Xie Zhenyu with amused interest. "Don’t you think so?"
Xie Zhenyu’s body jolted, and he was scared stiff in an instant.
Zhou Wei also seemed to realize something. With the mindset of dragging someone down with him even if he died, he hurriedly shouted, "Right, right, right, it’s all Xie Zhenyu’s fault, it’s him! He tried to curry favor with me, showed me photos of Su Yumo, even took the initiative to introduce her to me. A rat like him deserves to die!"
Xie Zhenyu snapped back to his senses, hastily kowtowing to Ye Xuan. "Lord Ye, I was wrong, I was wrong! We’re all relatives, please give me one more chance. I’ll never dare again!"
Yang Panpan also rushed to plead, "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Ye, we were blind, it was us dogs looking down on people. B-but no matter what, we’re still relatives after all!"
Su Fen Chun’s face had long gone deathly pale. Soulless, she stared at Ye Xuan. "L-Lord Ye, spare us..."
Ye Xuan lowered his eyes, half-smiling. "I think you people might be mistaken. I’m not qualified to be your relative. Those were your own words just now."
Xie Zhenyu’s whole family: "..."
As though plunged into an ice cellar, as though cast into an abyss!!
Wu Yuanshan suddenly bellowed, "Eat!"
As his shout fell.
Several of Wu Yuanshan’s black-clad men who’d been guarding the door surged in, surrounding Zhou Wei and Xie Zhenyu, their expressions indifferent and cold, Killing Aura billowing.
There was no room for doubt.
If the two of them showed even half a hint of disobedience, without Ye Xuan needing to say a word, Wu Yuanshan’s men would make them pay an even more tragic price.
Under the shroud of murderous intent.
Zhou Wei didn’t dare waste even half a breath. He reached out, grabbed a handful of glass shards, steeled his heart, and shoved them into his mouth in one go.
In that instant.
He’d rather be dead than alive!!
And how could it be any different for Xie Zhenyu?
Under the threat of death, he had not the slightest bit of choice left. All he could do was endure the searing pain in his heart and follow Zhou Wei in eating the glass shards.
Like knives stabbing his throat, like swords slicing his guts, a pain that made him want to die!
But what hurt more was his heart!
He clearly had a chance to become Lord Ye’s relative.
He clearly did!!
Ridiculous. Laughable!
Xie Zhenyu even felt the urge to throw his head back and laugh madly.
Laugh at himself!
Blinded by greed, stopping at nothing—just to please Zhou Wei, he’d gone as far as to disown his own kin and introduce Su Yumo to him. In the end, he’d drawn disaster to his own doorstep.
If he hadn’t done this, hadn’t been so vile and shameless, so profit-driven, none of this tragedy would have happened. In its place would have been a truly glorious future.
He would have become Lord Ye’s relative. He would have had a relative higher than the heavens!
Then, let alone a mere Zhou Wei—even Wu Wenlei, and even Wu Yuanshan himself, would have to bow and scrape, acting all polite when they saw him.
What kind of glory would that have been?
What kind of high-and-mighty status?
But now, it was all just a fantasy.
The power and status that had once been right within his reach had, in the blink of an eye, turned to dust.
How razor-sharp were glass shards?
How fragile was human flesh?
Feeling the increasingly intense stabbing pain from his lips, his tongue, his throat, and even his internal organs, Xie Zhenyu couldn’t help but let tears fall.
He wasn’t afraid of the physical pain, but the heart-twisting agony was something he couldn’t bear!
Evil will always meet its match!
Just like that, Zhou Wei and Xie Zhenyu, who not long ago had been strutting around with their noses in the air, now, with humiliation and regret in their mouths, under the watch of all these mixed expressions, finally finished eating all the glass shards covering the floor.
From beginning to end, the entire room didn’t make a sound.
No one pleaded for them, and no one dared to!
And as for the two of them, when they swallowed the very last shard of glass, they finally fainted on the spot from massive blood loss.
Whether they’d live or die, no one knew...
"So ruthless..."
Looking at the two motionless figures lying on the cold floor, Wu Wenlei, still kneeling, felt his scalp crawl.
Even he, after living more than thirty years, had never seen such a cruel and vicious scene.
What terrified him even more was that in such a bloody and brutal scene, even his father’s face was visibly strained, yet Lord Ye had remained as calm from beginning to end as if nothing had happened.
As if he’d seen it all before, as if this was just daily routine for him!
Wu Wenlei didn’t dare imagine what kind of miserable end he would have met if he hadn’t reacted quickly just now and knelt to beg for mercy at the first moment.
Most likely, this big pile of glass shards would have had his share in it too, right?
