Peerless Medical Emperor

A flicker of surprise flashed through Kojima Tetsumaro’s eyes, and then he smiled. ”Brother, rest assured. As long as we succeed, we’ll split the assets evenly. I won’t short you a single cent.”

And so, a secret plot began. Kojima Hideko and Kojima Tetsumaro repeatedly discussed the plan in a teahouse, their eyes filled with anticipation and determination for the future.

Ultimately, they decided to send their subordinate Samurai to complete this task. These Samurai were all rigorously trained killers who knew how to make death absolute.

As time passed, the plan was gradually set in motion.

Kojima Hideko personally directed these killers to first scout Chen Qingdi’s whereabouts. They laid an inescapable net around Chen Qingdi, just waiting for him to step into the trap.

However, just as they were preparing to make their move, Chen Qingdi suddenly vanished. This left Kojima Hideko and his brother deeply frustrated. They had thought they had a firm grasp on Chen Qingdi’s movements, only to fail at the final hurdle.

In the Mingyue Group’s high-rise, Chen Qingdi sat on his office sofa, his face grim. His confidant, Chen Yuan, stood before him as the two held a secret discussion.

”Do you know how many people have their eyes on us right now?” Chen Qingdi asked.

”Yes, I know,” Chen Yuan replied. ”These people are just after our wealth and status. They want you dead, and they want the Mingyue Group destroyed.”

Chen Qingdi sighed. ”If we let our guard down, we’ll be digging our own graves. We need to ensure the company’s security.”

Chen Yuan smiled. ”Don’t worry. Every member of the company’s security team is trained to mercenary standards. Each one of them can take on ten men, no problem. Besides, the head of security, Qian Laoliu, was once a famous assassin from the Outer Island. He’s just looking to leave that life behind now. He’ll have no problem dealing with these so-called assassins.”

At that moment, Qian Laoliu entered the office. Having overheard Chen Yuan’s introduction, he walked directly up to Chen Qingdi and personally guaranteed the company’s security.

”Qian Laoliu is my right-hand man. I know his capabilities very well,” Chen Yuan added. ”What’s more, the company has some secret weapons and methods to counter those assassins. As long as we remain vigilant, there won’t be any problems.”

After hearing this, Chen Qingdi’s expression softened slightly. ”Good. Then let’s work together to protect our company.”

In the days that followed, Chen Qingdi, Chen Yuan, and Qian Laoliu drew up a series of security plans and measures. They intensified the security team’s training and patrols and upgraded the company’s security equipment and technology. At the same time, they secretly dispatched operatives to investigate potential threats and assassins, ensuring the company’s security was foolproof.

Over the next few months, the company experienced some minor harassment and probing attacks, but they were all quickly dealt with and contained by the security team. Qian Laoliu and his men displayed an extremely high level of professionalism and combat prowess, making it impossible for the assassins to breach the company’s defenses.

However, just when they thought they were safe, a much larger crisis was quietly approaching. One night, Chen Qingdi was in his office handling documents when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He quickly grabbed a handgun and moved toward the sound.

When he reached the company’s back door, he found a group of masked men trying to force their way inside. He immediately fired a shot at one of them, but the man seemed largely unaffected. Just then, Qian Laoliu arrived on the scene with the security team and began a fierce battle with the masked intruders.

In the minutes that followed, the two sides engaged in a life-or-death struggle. Qian Laoliu and his team members displayed extraordinary courage and combat strength, defeating the masked men one by one. However, one of the intruders seemed to be no ordinary person. He wielded a special weapon that left Qian Laoliu and his team helpless.

Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly appeared. Wearing a black cape and holding a longsword, he charged directly at the masked man with the special weapon. Their weapons clashed with a piercing shriek. In the end, Chen Yuan summoned all his strength, shattering his opponent’s weapon and defeating him.

But Chen Qingdi’s analysis was that this was merely a probing attack. He figured that after these men in black were defeated, the real assault would come in a few days, so they could not let their guard down.

「Two nights later」

In the dead of night, the company’s security team was patrolling the building’s perimeter as usual. It was a quiet night, with only a gentle breeze whispering past, the clamor of the city seemingly left far behind. Yet, beneath this tranquility, an undercurrent was surging. A group of black-clad men from the Outer Island had arrived in silence.

Clad in black, like phantoms of the night, they scaled the building’s walls, attempting to get directly to the rooftop. From there, they would descend and assassinate Chen Qingdi, who was working in his office. Their plan seemed perfect, but they had run into a tough nut to crack.

’An anomaly!’ The security team’s captain, Qian Laoliu, had sharp eyes. He immediately spotted the black-clad men scaling the building. He quickly dialed the chairman’s number. ”Chairman, a team of men in black is scaling the building in an assassination attempt. We’re prepared to respond.”

The chairman on the other end of the line, Chen Qingdi, was shocked. ”Deal with them, quickly! You must protect me and the company!”

”Understood!” After hanging up, Qian Laoliu swiftly ordered the security team into position. He fired a flare from the gun in his hand, illuminating the night sky. This was the signal to act, and the security team responded instantly.

”Dart team, move out!” At Qian Laoliu’s command, members of the dart team instantly appeared from the shadows, darts in hand, and took aim at the climbing men. Their movements were swift and precise as they severed the men’s ropes.

The black-clad men lost their support and plummeted from the great height. Most couldn’t survive the impact, their bodies smashed to pieces on the ground below.

However, two of them were lucky enough to survive the fall. They were bound by the security team and taken to the basement.

Qian Laoliu breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden attack had finally been neutralized. He dialed the chairman’s number again.

”Chairman, the men in black have been dealt with. Two were injured and have been taken to the basement. You can get back to work without any worries.”

On the other end of the line, Chen Qingdi was deeply gratified to hear the news. ”Qian Laoliu, you’ve all done very well! I won’t forget this.”

”It’s our duty.” He felt a surge of warmth after hanging up. ’This was his duty—to protect the company and the chairman’s safety!’
