Peerless Divine Doctor

”It’s okay,” Shangguan Xiner said involuntarily.

”Well then,” Ye Luo looked at Shangguan Xiner curiously, ”Is there something you need from me, Xiner?”

”I...” Shangguan Xiner hesitated, looking at Ye Luo.

”If there’s anything you need help with, just tell me directly,” Ye Luo said, noticing that Shangguan Xiner must have something on her mind.

Shangguan Xiner’s gaze shifted, and she said, ”I have a class reunion tomorrow night, and I want to invite you to go with me. I’m not sure if you’d be available.”

”Class reunion? Shouldn’t that be a gathering among classmates? It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go,” Ye Luo said after thinking for a moment.

”You could be my boyfriend,” Shangguan Xiner blurted out, her face reddening immediately after she said it, while Ye Luo looked stunned.

Shangguan Xiner quickly explained, ”What I mean is, you could pretend to be my boyfriend and attend with me, mainly because Bai Yandong will also be at the reunion.”

”The reunion is hosted by him. I originally didn’t want to go, but a lot of my good friends from school invited me, so I couldn’t refuse and have to attend,” she said.

Ye Luo instantly understood and smiled, ”I see, no problem, I’ll definitely play the part well.”

”Mmm,” Shangguan Xiner’s exquisite face blushed, looking incredibly endearing.

Soon after, Ye Luo received a call from Luo Jingxuan.

”Li Tiancheng and Fang Corporation are signing a contract this afternoon?” Ye Luo was taken aback.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Jingxuan said, ”I’ve already called CEO Li, but he indicated that he couldn’t go through with our cooperation anymore. Ye Luo, what should we do now? Should we just give up?”

”No way, we can’t just give up,” said Ye Luo calmly, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.

”You don’t need to worry about this; I’ll handle it,” Ye Luo said before hanging up the phone.

”What’s wrong?” asked Shangguan Xiner.

”Oh, it’s nothing, just some business I need to take care of. I’ll get going first. You can just call me when it’s time tomorrow night,” Ye Luo responded and then promptly left the coffee shop. Watching Ye Luo’s departing figure, Shangguan Xiner’s eyes held a touch of a lost expression.

Shhh—

Just as Ye Luo stepped out of the coffee shop, a white Land Rover pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Mingyue’s figure.

”Damn, you always pop up out of nowhere,” Ye Luo exclaimed, getting into the car.

”I feel like, no matter where I am, you can always find me. You haven’t installed a tracker on me, have you?” Ye Luo said, scanning over his body.

”Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t have the time to be putting any trackers on you,” Mingyue retorted, giving Ye Luo a look.

Mingyue continued, ”I came to tell you that our reconnaissance found that Han Group has a secret underground space. Based on our speculation, it’s very likely their secret base that they’ve established.”

”So Han Youwei is that badass, huh? Building the Islanders’ base right underneath his own group. He’s really not afraid of dying,” Ye Luo remarked, slightly astonished.

”Fame and fortune can make people lose all reason. We’ve decided to take action tonight and infiltrate Han Group to thoroughly investigate this underground base.”

Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, ”Don’t take any action on your own just yet, wait until I arrive.”

”Rest assured, you’re the leader of this mission, we won’t act recklessly without your orders. Besides, you’re the strongest among us; without you taking the lead, who else would go first?” Mingyue quipped, curling her lips.

”Damn, turns out my purpose as the leader is just to charge in first, huh? You guys are really cunning,” Ye Luo said with a disdainful expression.

At the same time, in Zhonghai, within a steam room, two men were sitting naked, their bodies sweating profusely, thick steam filling the room.

These two figures were Fang Yan and Chen Yaowen.

”Young Master Fang, you invited me here for a matter, just speak up,” Chen Yaowen said as he leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, looking very relaxed and enjoying the comfort of the steam bath.

”What I wanted to talk about, I’ve already mentioned on the phone. I’ve asked Brother Chen here just to discuss our next plan,” Fang Yan said indifferently.

Chen Yaowen opened his eyes sharply, staring at Fang Yan and asked, ”What plan do you have?”

”This plan is just a rough idea; I still need to discuss it with Brother Chen. The first step we need to take is to completely sever the relationship between Ling Qingya and Ye Luo, drive him out of the Ling family, and then deal with him properly.”

A flash crossed Chen Yaowen’s eyes as he said, ”I already have an idea. Once this idea is realized, the first point you mentioned can be achieved.”

”Oh, is that so? That’s really great. When the plan succeeds, Brother Chen will be able to take the beauty home,” Fang Yan said, his mouth spreading into a sly smile.

”Hmph, what ’beauty’ or not? She’s nothing but a worn-out woman someone has already been with; I’m not interested in her anymore. However, treating her as a female slave to play with, that I’m quite willing to do.”

Chen Yaowen’s face twisted menacingly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his heart somewhat warped.

”That kid has already succeeded?” Fang Yan’s eyes also narrowed sharply.

”That’s right,” Chen Yaowen hummed coldly, clearly still filled with rage about this.

Fang Yan’s eyes glinted coldly, and his fists clenched unconsciously, creaking with the strain.

At the Nie Family villa, Nie Yuntian sat leisurely on the sofa, steeping tea. Nie Wenling, Nie Wenyu, and their mother entered the villa, their hands full of large and small shopping bags.

”Today was just fantastic; it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy,” Nie Wenling said cheerily, sitting on the sofa.

”You girl, skipping school to go shopping, of course, you’re happy, but I don’t think you’re going to achieve much in life like this,” Nie Yuntian said, shaking his head with a sigh.

”If I’m no good, so be it. As long as Dad and sister achieve greatness and are powerful, that’s enough,” Nie Wenling said with a smile, while their mother headed into the kitchen and Nie Wenyu sat on the sofa with a smile on her face.

Ah! Ah!

Suddenly, screams echoed from outside the villa, and Nie Yuntian’s face instantly changed.

”What’s happening?” Both sisters, Nie Wenling and Nie Wenyu, looked alarmed.

Bang!

A dull sound erupted, and the villa’s front door was blasted open. A man dressed in Miaojiang attire, holding a distinctive Miao Knife, and exuding a chill aura walked in. He wore a Miaojiang head ornament, his complexion was somewhat tanned, and his eyes flickered with cold light.

Two men also dressed in Miao attire followed behind, each holding a blood-stained Miao Knife in their hands, indicating that all the guards outside the Nie Family villa had been eliminated.
