The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Am I Qualified Enough?

The grand hall was in complete chaos.

Wen Zihua was the first-in-line heir of the Wen Family’s third generation, a figure of great importance. Many Divine Doctors rushed forward to examine him, but in the end, they all came to the same grim conclusion.

”Third Master, I’m afraid Young Master Wen is not going to make it. You should begin preparing for his funeral.”

In an instant, everyone backed away, keeping their distance from Wen Zhantian, terrified of bearing the brunt of his wrath.

Wen Zhantian scanned his surroundings coldly. ”Get the security footage, now! We must find the killer!”

”Third Master, we’ve reviewed the footage. The Young Master didn’t come into contact with anyone. He just suddenly collapsed!”

”Impossible! Zihua has always been in excellent health! He possessed a rare War Body! How could he just drop dead? Cheng Yuan! It must have been Cheng Yuan who killed Zihua! Men! Pull up all the surveillance footage of Cheng Yuan immediately!”

At Wen Zhantian’s command, the organizing committee immediately pulled all video recordings of Cheng Yuan from the moment he entered the Chang’an Clubhouse.

Wen Zhantian reviewed the footage himself, but even after checking it several times, he couldn’t find a single clue.

A member of the organizing committee hesitated before speaking, ”Third Master, we’ve analyzed the video. Cheng Yuan never came into contact with Young Master Wen. You, on the other hand...”

Wen Zhantian’s eyes widened in a glare as he roared, ”Are you implying I killed my own nephew? I know Zihua’s constitution perfectly well. That slap I gave him was just a flesh wound!”

Seeing Wen Zhantian on the verge of a rampage, no one dared to speak, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

With Duan Yanming nowhere in sight, the organizing committee had become Wen Zhantian’s one-man show.

”Men, lock down the Chang’an Clubhouse immediately! Apprehend the culprit, Cheng Yuan, and bring him to justice!”

The entire organizing committee mobilized in an instant. Over a dozen Martial Kings answered Wen Zhantian’s call.

Soon, Wen Zhantian received a report.

”Third Master Wen, we have news on Cheng Yuan. He was taken to Private Room Three by Prince Duan.”

Hearing this, everyone shrank back. None of them dared to cross Duan Yanming.

”Third Master Wen, since Prince Duan has already apprehended the true culprit, he will surely give the Wen Family justice. Let’s leave the matter at that.”

The crowd dispersed like a swarm of bees, leaving Wen Zhantian feeling helpless. His only hope now was that Prince Duan would not let Cheng Yuan off easily.

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, ”Cheng Yuan! Cheng Yuan’s back!!”

Everyone stopped in their tracks and stared at Cheng Yuan with curiosity. They couldn’t understand how he dared to show his face here again.

Wen Zhantian looked toward the source of the voice and was overjoyed!

’Cheng Yuan didn’t stay by Prince Duan’s side! He’s courting death!’

Wen Zhantian pointed a finger at Cheng Yuan’s face and roared, ”You vile wretch! How could you be so vicious? Zihua had already sincerely apologized to you, so why did you still have to kill him? Men! Seize this scoundrel!”

Seeing that Prince Duan hadn’t emerged, a group of Martial Kings, eager to suck up to Wen Zhantian, rushed forward with a CLATTER and surrounded Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan remained completely unfazed. He said calmly, ”Wen Zhantian, don’t try to frame me. I was in Private Room Three the entire time, treating Xiaolang’s injuries. Both Xiaolang and Prince Duan can testify for me.”

Duan Lang shot a cold glance at the surrounding Martial Kings. ”I can testify! When Wen Zihua died, Divine Doctor Cheng was treating me. He had no opportunity to commit the crime! Are you trying to make an enemy of the Duan Family?”

Wen Zhantian froze, only then noticing that Duan Lang was standing right behind Cheng Yuan.

Wen Zhantian was a bit stunned.

’Didn’t Duan Lang want nothing more than to get rid of Cheng Yuan? Why would he voluntarily testify for him?’

’This doesn’t make sense!’

Wen Zhantian asked hesitantly, ”Xiaolang, wasn’t it Cheng Yuan who injured you? Why are you helping him?”

Duan Lang declared loudly, ”Third Uncle Wen, this is the last time I’ll call you that! My injuries weren’t caused by Divine Doctor Cheng! It was all because of Wen Zihua’s instigation that I went looking for trouble with Divine Doctor Cheng, and that’s how my Dantian got destroyed! I’ve now reached an understanding with Divine Doctor Cheng! The Wen Family is my real enemy! Wen Zihua was so treacherous and despicable! He got what he deserved! His death was a blessing!!”

Wen Zhantian trembled with rage, but he didn’t dare to completely fall out with Duan Lang. He could only bring up the strategic alliance between their two families.

”Xiaolang, the Dali Duan Dynasty and the Ancient Martial Wen Family have been on good terms for generations. Are you really going to ruin the relationship between the Duan Clan and the Wen Family for the sake of an outsider?”

”The moment Wen Zihua tried to use me to do his dirty work and plotted against me, the Duan Clan cut all ties with your Wen Family! I hereby announce the revocation of your position as vice-chairman of the organizing committee! Men! Throw everyone from the Wen Family out of this venue!”

Duan Lang was the Heir of Dali and could issue commands on his father’s behalf. The members of the organizing committee looked at Duan Lang with complicated expressions. They never would have imagined that the Young Prince would back Cheng Yuan so staunchly.

’Just what are the origins of this kid named Cheng?’

SHUFFLE, SHUFFLE. The Martial Kings who had just stepped forward instantly switched sides, surrounding Wen Zhantian instead.

Wen Zhantian’s face was ashen with rage. He shouted, ”Duan Lang, you’re just a junior! What right do you have to revoke my position? Act so arrogantly with me when you’ve successfully inherited the title of King of Dali!”

WHOOSH!

A figure flashed past, and Duan Yanming appeared before Wen Zhantian like a fleeting shadow, looking down on him from a position of authority.

”Wen Zhantian, my son may not be qualified, but am I?”

Before Duan Yanming, Wen Zhantian had no confidence whatsoever. He quickly bowed his head. ”Prince Duan is naturally qualified! But... is Prince Duan really going to destroy the relationship between the Wen Family and the Duan Clan for some young man who popped out of nowhere?”

”It was your Wen Family who broke the rules first! Get out! Now! Or This King will see you out personally!”

BOOM!!

Duan Yanming’s aura was terrifying. Wen Zhantian was nearly forced to his knees by the pressure. It took all of his willpower just to remain standing as he stammered, ”Don’t be angry, Prince Duan! I’ll leave right now!”

Wen Zhantian hoisted Wen Zihua’s body onto his back and fled the Chang’an Clubhouse in utter disgrace, under the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd.

Clearly, the Wen Family had thoroughly lost all face today.

In this world, no one cares about losers. Many people came over to get closer to Cheng Yuan.

”Divine Doctor Cheng, hello! I am Chen Beixuan from Jiangbei! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

”Divine Doctor Cheng, to have reached the level of a Divine Realm Grandmaster at such a young age is incredible! There will surely be a place for you in the future of the Dragon Country Ancient Martial Realm!”

Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan had already witnessed these people’s true colors and couldn’t muster any interest.

Seeing the unpleasant look on Cheng Yuan’s face, Duan Yanming frowned slightly, and the crowd quickly took their leave.

Only then did quiet return to Cheng Yuan’s side.

As Cheng Yuan followed Duan Yanming toward Private Room Three, a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old approached. The boy had a shaved head and was flanked by several large, powerfully built men.

The boy stopped in front of Cheng Yuan and studied him intently. The scrutiny made Cheng Yuan’s skin crawl, as if the boy could see right through him, peering into some of his secrets.

The boy suddenly put his palms together in a respectful gesture toward Cheng Yuan. ”Benefactor, you and this humble monk are bound by fate. This humble monk sincerely invites you to be a guest at our Heavenly Mountain.”
