The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: You Can Sing Conquer Now

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to adjust. It was the first time in his memory anyone had ever spoken to him that way.

”Kid, do you know who I am? Are you sure there’s nothing to talk about?”

Cheng Yuan’s words terrified Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe. Gu Chen was an infamous young master from the Provincial City!

’Xiaoyuan is so audacious! Threatening Gu Chen?’

The two of them quickly shot meaningful glances at Cheng Yuan, urging him to be more polite and speak reasonably with Gu Chen.

’As long as Gu Chen believes Ruoxi is truly married, he’ll know to back off.’

But Cheng Yuan couldn’t be bothered with any of that. Not even the King of Heaven himself could harass his wife!

”I don’t give a damn who you are. What’s it got to do with me? Get lost! This is the first and last time. If I see you harassing my wife again, you’re dead!”

Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe felt breathless. ’Why is Xiaoyuan getting so carried away?’

’Did Ruoxi not tell him about Gu Chen’s background?’

Gu Chen laughed in anger. He turned to his bodyguards, his face a mask of exaggerated disbelief.

”This kid says I’m dead! HAHAHAHA! That’s a first, someone talking to me like that! So confident. I like it!”

With that, Gu Chen’s expression darkened. ”Are you made of wood?” he said in a cold voice.

Having been chided, the two bodyguards stepped forward, their faces cold.

Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe quickly stepped forward to block the bodyguards’ path, forcing an apologetic smile. ”Young Master Gu, please, calm down. He’s just a kid, he doesn’t know any better and spoke rashly! Another day, I’ll arrange a dinner on Xiaoyuan’s behalf to apologize!”

”Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I can give you face, but I have one condition. Make this ex-con divorce Ruoxi immediately and never let him appear before her again. Do that, and I can spare the kid’s pathetic life.”

Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe were sick with regret. If they had known Cheng Yuan was so impulsive, they never would have called him over. Look at the mess this had turned into.

Lin Ruoxi was also filled with despair. Cheng Yuan’s fighting skills were decent—he could easily handle a few petty thugs. But the Gu Family was no ordinary family; they had a profound Martial Dao background!

Gu Chen was the first-in-line heir of the Gu Family’s third generation and already a Celestial Realm Middle Stage master. Among the entire younger generation in the Provincial City, he ranked in the top five.

His two bodyguards were both Grandmasters that the Gu Family had spent massive resources to cultivate!

Even if they were only Grandmasters propped up by resources, to ordinary people, they were still god-like beings.

Facing two Grandmasters, Cheng Yuan had absolutely no chance of victory.

Lin Ruoxi knew she already owed Cheng Yuan a great deal; she couldn’t drag him into this abyss with her.

”Gu Chen, I can return to the Provincial City with you, but you must swear you won’t harm Cheng Yuan.”

Gu Chen was ecstatic. ”I swear, I will absolutely not harm Cheng Yuan! I won’t touch a single hair on his head!”

As he spoke, Gu Chen was thinking viciously, ’I said *I* won’t harm Cheng Yuan, but I never said my bodyguards wouldn’t act!’

With that, Gu Chen reached for Lin Ruoxi’s hand.

Lin Ruoxi recoiled, but not wanting to implicate Cheng Yuan, she could only suppress her inner humiliation and let Gu Chen reach for her hand.

But how could Cheng Yuan allow his wife to be humiliated?

Cheng Yuan pulled Lin Ruoxi behind him and looked at her with utter seriousness.

”Ruoxi, this is the first time, and I hope it’s the last. From now on, never stand in front of me again! I’m your husband; I have both the duty and the ability to protect my wife!”

Cheng Yuan’s tone was so full of confidence that it gave Lin Ruoxi an overwhelming sense of security. Even though Cheng Yuan’s background was worlds apart from Gu Chen’s, she simply believed that the man before her could protect her!

Lin Ruoxi stared dazedly at Cheng Yuan. ’If Cheng Yuan can get through this, maybe our act can become real.’

Gu Chen was about to explode with rage!

’This damn ex-con, ruining my plans again and again! Does he really think I, Young Master Gu, am a pushover?’

”Kid, who do you think you’re fooling with that bullshit? You’re courting death! Today, you’re going to kneel before me and sing ’Conquer’!”

Gu Chen roared and swung a vicious slap at Cheng Yuan’s face. He had to shut this braggart up and make his face swell!

To an ordinary person, Gu Chen’s movement was absurdly fast. But to Cheng Yuan, it was like watching a slow-motion replay.

Cheng Yuan raised his hand. Though he moved second, his hand arrived first, clamping firmly around Gu Chen’s wrist. He squeezed.

A jolt of excruciating pain shot through him. Gu Chen’s face went deathly pale, and his strength instantly vanished.

THUD! Cheng Yuan kicked the back of Gu Chen’s knee.

THUMP!

Gu Chen fell to his knees.

The scene stunned everyone present.

Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe stared at each other in disbelief. Gu Chen was one of the top five masters of the Provincial City’s younger generation, yet Cheng Yuan had subdued him with such ease?

’With this level of Martial Dao Cultivation alone, Cheng Yuan is more than qualified to be our son-in-law!’

’Not to mention, he has that incredible skill in stone gambling!’

’Oh, and he knows medicine, too!’

’Our family has really found a treasure of a son-in-law!’

Lin Ruoxi was also taken aback. She never thought that the man she had randomly picked up on the subway would turn out to be such a treasure.

’It seems there really could be a future for her and Cheng Yuan!’

Cheng Yuan looked down condescendingly at Gu Chen. ”Don’t you like to make people kneel? I’m just fulfilling your wish. By the way, you can start singing ’Conquer’ now.”

Forced to kneel before his rival in front of the woman he desired, Gu Chen was so ashamed he wished the earth would swallow him whole.

Gu Chen struggled desperately, but Cheng Yuan’s hand was like a steel vise, completely unmovable.

Gu Chen whipped his head toward his bodyguards and roared, ”Are you pigs? Kill him! Kill him for me!!!”

Only then did the bodyguards snap back to reality, roaring in fury.

”Release Young Master Gu!”

”You’re courting death, kid!!”

The bodyguards launched a storm of attacks!

In the bodyguards’ minds, faced with their assault, Cheng Yuan would surely have to release Gu Chen to focus all his energy on defending himself.

Unfortunately for them, Cheng Yuan’s current power was comparable to a Quasi-Divine Realm Grandmaster; he didn’t even consider them a threat.

Cheng Yuan didn’t let go. With a slight flick of his other arm...

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A piercing sound tore through the air!

THWACK! THWACK!

The bodyguards were pierced until they resembled human porcupines.~

THUD! THUD!

A numbing sensation spread through the bodyguards’ bodies, and they toppled over like wooden posts.

The scene was so surreal that everyone instinctively gasped, staring at Cheng Yuan in utter disbelief.

’Those are Gu Chen’s bodyguards! They’re Grandmasters!’

What level of power was this? To take down four Grandmasters in a single, effortless move?!

Cheng Yuan was only in his early twenties. Even if he had started training in the womb, he shouldn’t be this monstrously powerful!

Hua Yao and Lin Xinghe trembled with excitement. They instinctively glanced at each other, both seeing the same thrill reflected in the other’s eyes.

Even in a Martial Dao Family, a Grandmaster was a pillar of strength!

A Grandmaster under the age of thirty was considered a genius, worthy of a family’s best resources!

But someone like Cheng Yuan wasn’t just a genius—he was a prodigy of monstrous proportions!

With Cheng Yuan’s Martial Dao talent alone, they could return to the Lin Family with their heads held high. Even the Old Master would have to treat their branch of the family with respect!

Gu Chen’s heart was filled with a profound sense of dread.

’If I’d known Cheng Yuan’s talent was this terrifying, I never would have come to Luocheng to be humiliated,’ he thought. ’There are plenty of women in the world. With my status as Young Master Gu, what kind of woman can’t I have?’

’But the feud between me and Cheng Yuan is already set in stone. I absolutely cannot let him continue to grow stronger!’

A vicious thought formed in Gu Chen’s mind, but he knew the saying: a wise man knows when to yield.

Gu Chen forced a semblance of a friendly smile onto his face.

”So, Brother Cheng is an Ancient Martial Artist. My grandfather is the vice president of the Dongshan Province Ancient Martial Arts Association. This has all been a terrible misunderstanding—the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple! Brother Cheng, let me go. I promise, from this moment on, I will never bother Ruoxi again.”
