Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Shu Region

Shu Region, Wang Family headquarters!

Despite not being the strongest in the Shu Region or even considered first-class, the Wang Family, an old-established clan, has found itself as the proverbial ’monkey that becomes king when there are no tigers on the mountain’ due to various local powers converging on a special department to oppose the Corpse King Palace.

The Family Head of the Wang Family was extremely pleased. Ever since they began trading with the Corpse King Palace, their power had increased several-fold!

”Third Brother, what’s the situation with those few individuals? Have they spilled where they’re hiding the person?” Wang Zhenshan, the Family Head, inquired of a clansman beside him.

”Family Head, that number six, he’s too stubborn. We haven’t gotten it out of him yet!”

”Humph, stubborn? I’d like to see just how stubborn he can be. Remember, that girl was specifically named by the Corpse King Palace. Moreover, if we deliver her, we’ll receive immense benefits. So, by any means necessary, you must pry the information from number six’s mouth! Doesn’t he have a daughter in high school, and I hear his wife is rather attractive. What, do you need me to teach you such simple tactics?”

The clansman couldn’t help but shiver. The sixth of the Wang Family may not be very strong, but after all, he is the Clan Leader’s own brother!

The Wang Family is large and influential, but most of the power is held by the main branch. Even the Family Head’s own brother does not receive many resources.

However, the bond of blood is not easily severed, but it was unexpected that the Family Head would issue such a command.

”Yes, I understand what to do now.”

The Wang Family clansman was filled with fear. To be so cruel even to his own brother, he dared not offend the Family Head!

Wang Zhenshan watched the clansman exit with a slight chill in his demeanor: ”Humph, for the power of the Wang Family, any sacrifice is worthwhile! Oh number six, do you know that the Corpse King Palace is willing to trade a Saint Pill this time? That’s the Saint Pill! Once consumed, I will reach the Controlling Qi Realm! Do you really wish to be an enemy of the Wang Family?”

Wang Zhenshan appeared furious, but unfortunately, his words betrayed his innermost desires – it was not for the family; he simply coveted the Saint Pill, aiming to obtain it from the Corpse King Palace for himself!

Indeed, the Wang Family boasted a strong cultivator, but their highest realm was only the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Of course, compared to Wang Zhenshan’s mere six layers of the Saint Realm, that was a terrifyingly powerful existence.

Wang Zhenshan had immense ambition; in his heart, as long as he acquired the Saint Pill, anyone who dared to defy him would be personally executed, thus gaining complete control over the entire clan and even the entirety of the Shu Region!

With Wang Zhenshan’s orders, the Wang Family acted immediately, heading straight for Southwest University.

Southwest University is a key university in the Shu Region, and Wang Yanan happens to study there.

Wang Yanan was oblivious to her family’s affairs, as her father never told her much.

”Yanan, there’s a package for you at the entrance. Go get it,” one of Wang Yanan’s roommates said to her.

Wang Yanan smiled lightly: ”Oh you, getting my package but not bringing it to me, huh!”

”I couldn’t do anything about it. The delivery guy insisted that you pick it up personally, what could I do?”

The roommate spoke innocently. Usually, they would help bring each other’s packages, but today the fastidious delivery guy insisted that Wang Yanan had to collect it herself.

With no choice, Wang Yanan left the dormitory.

...

”Target sighted. Pay attention, everyone. This is the person the section chief personally assigned us to capture. Don’t make any mistakes!”

”Why is the section chief acting like this? Having us from the special action unit to capture just a young girl?”

”Don’t blabber nonsense, we are to invite, not capture. I’ve heard that someone important is coming from above, and they specifically instructed that we ensure this young girl’s safety by any means necessary, as it seems related to a significant case.”

A few individuals who seemed like mere passersby chatted, but their eyes were firmly focused on Wang Yanan.

And that delivery guy had also been keeping an eye on Wang Yanan.

They were members of the Shu Region special action division, belonging to a special department that had only been established recently. Even though they didn’t quite understand what this department was for, they were only obeying orders and didn’t bother to inquire further.

”Trouble, be alert, prioritize the target’s safety!”

Suddenly, the team leader of the action group shouted. At the same time, a van charged straight into the university, causing screams all around.

Wang Yanan had not yet understood the situation, but she saw a group of people charging towards her.

”Go, faster, grab that girl and retreat!”

Predictably, this group was sent by the Wang Family!

With the increased power of the Wang Family, who held sway in both legal and illicit worlds, those dispatched now were from the underworld. Their task was to kidnap Wang Yanan!

”What are you doing?”

Wang Yanan retreated in alarm, foreseeing what might be happening, but she couldn’t understand why anyone would want to kidnap her!

Even though she was part of the Wang Family, she was from a side branch; she only visited the main family during the New Year. In essence, she was just an ordinary person!

Fortunately, having been born into the Wang Family, Wang Yanan had learned a few martial arts moves. Seeing several people rushing towards her, she did not hesitate and quickly backed away.

...

”How dare you, in broad daylight, think to abduct a woman?”

Suddenly, a thunderous shout was heard as a young man wearing a delivery uniform charged over.

Then he stood directly in front of Wang Yanan.

The surrounding people were amused by this delivery guy. What was a tense situation became almost comical with his old-fashioned declaration of abduction.

Some people even started looking around: ”Could this be another prank show? I’ve heard that many people would do anything for fame. Is this a play on a kidnapping plot today? But where are the cameras?”

”Are they filming a movie? It definitely looks like someone’s recording with a phone, let’s film it too! But this delivery guy is so unprofessional, he got his lines all wrong. Shouldn’t he be shouting, ’Don’t be afraid, beauty, I’m here to protect you’?”

The surrounding people buzzed with speculation, leaving the team leader of the special action group smiling ruefully. He too was amused by his team member, but this was hardly the time to consider these matters.

Soon, all members of the special action group had sprung into action.
