Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Minister of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion?

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Ye Mengyun was so infuriated that she thought she might explode.

This guy really knows how to make her blood boil with just a few words.

It’s so infuriating.

Given her temperament, she would never have approached this man on her own initiative.

But there was no helping it; this time, it was a mission her grandfather Ye Zhongshan had entrusted to her, and she couldn’t dodge it.

Ye Mengyun forcefully suppressed her anger and said:

”Great news.”

”Then I’m even less inclined to stick around. What sort of good news could possibly come from the Ye Family seeking me out? I never believe in pies falling from the sky,” said Zhou Yu, righteous and proud.

”You...”

Ye Mengyun was so angry she trembled.

She wished she could rush up and slap Zhou Yu right across the face.

At that moment, He Xu standing beside Zhou Yu, eyes flashing with amusement, said:

”Zhou Yu, I’ll head out as well. I’ll wait for you outside.”

After speaking, He Xu turned to leave.

But Zhou Yu caught her by the arm.

”It’s fine. Just listen here,” he said.

Turning to Ye Mengyun, he continued:

”Forget it, you go ahead, I’ll listen.”

Ye Mengyun glared at Zhou Yu, her teeth clenched tightly.

Then, she began to speak slowly:

”There’s been an incident in Shanghai; the Minister of the Martial Cabinet there has been assassinated.”

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned, then expressed his amazement:

”The Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet... assassinated? Dead?”

”My goodness, that’s really some major news.”

”Who had the audacity to do such a thing? Damn impressive!”

Smack!

Ye Mengyun slammed her hand on the table, causing the water glass on it to jump.

Having been raised in the powerful and influential Ye Family, she was steeped in the concept of ’rules’ from childhood. The more she watched Zhou Yu’s insouciant attitude, the angrier she became, unable to contain her rage.

Seeing Ye Mengyun get so worked up by Zhou Yu, He Xu quickly tugged at his arm and gave him a stern look, signaling him not to go overboard.

After all, Ye Mengyun was from a very prominent background, and to offend her like this was to ask for trouble.

However, Zhou Yu appeared completely unconcerned.

At that moment, He Xu covertly reached out and twisted the soft flesh of Zhou Yu’s waist, rotating it by three hundred and sixty degrees.

”Hisss—”

Zhou Yu took a sharp breath and quickly pleaded for mercy.

Only then did He Xu release her grip, maintaining a cold expression, yet there was a glimmer of amusement in her eyes.

After delivering that slap on the table, Ye Mengyun took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay calm and composed.

She then squeezed a few words out from between her teeth.

”I’m not telling you this so you can enjoy the gossip.”

”The matter is still under investigation.”

”My grandfather sent me to find you because he wants you to take over as the new Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet,” she said.

At these words, both He Xu and Zhou Yu were taken aback.

He Xu’s heart raced.

Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet!

That was a position of crucial importance, and now, they were actually considering Zhou Yu for the job.

This... this was too fantastical to believe.

For a moment, He Xu even doubted her own ears.

But these words came from Ye Mengyun, and from the look on her face, she was clearly not joking.

The revelation was staggering.

Zhou Yu, too, was shocked.

He hadn’t expected Ye Zhongshan to suddenly come up with such a move.

After a brief moment of surprise, he suddenly remembered the time before he left Qinzhou, when he had seen Ye Zhongshan.

Back then, Ye Zhongshan had mentioned arranging an official position for him in Shanghai.

Zhou Yu hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

He thought that the ’official position’ was probably something like an inspector or a clerk.

But he had never imagined it would be to become the Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet.

What did that even mean?

His mind racing, Zhou Yu immediately felt that there was something more to this affair.

His old man had always taught him the principle of letting go—whatever you gain comes at a price.

Becoming the Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet—a position of such importance and overwhelming power—most people would faint from excitement, but what Zhou Yu considered was that Ye Zhongshan certainly had some ulterior motive.

Without understanding Ye Zhongshan’s intentions, he did not want to lightly step into this whirlpool of immense power and disputes.

After a brief period of reflection, Zhou Yu decisively said:

”I refuse!”

This time, it was Ye Mengyun’s turn to be shocked.

The position of Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet meant unimaginable power and status, and this fool had rejected it without even a second thought?

Ye Mengyun snapped back:

”Are you deaf or something? Didn’t you hear me clearly?”

”I’m talking about the Minister of the Shanghai Martial Cabinet.”

”Do you know how many people kneel before my grandfather vying for this position?”

”My grandfather esteems you, and yet you’re so ungrateful?”

Zhou Yu just shrugged.

”It’s just who I am, naturally timid and faint-hearted.”

”Besides, the last minister just died under mysterious circumstances, and I certainly don’t want to follow in his footsteps.”

Ye Mengyun was boiling with rage inside.

”His death is his business. There’s a different reason for his demise. Have you ever heard of any other Martial Cabinet ministers in Dragon Country having accidents?”

”Besides, weren’t you quite the braggart just a minute ago?”

”What’s the matter? Are you actually a coward who is afraid of death?”

Zhou Yu was resolute.

”You can say whatever you want about me, but I’m not accepting it, period.”

Ye Mengyun couldn’t suppress her fury any longer.

”Hmph, whether you agree or not is up to you.”

”If you refuse, so be it.”

”Get lost.”

Zhou Yu didn’t take offense; he cheerfully waved at Ye Mengyun.

”Miss Ye, I may be a coward, but I’m still polite.”

”Goodbye, Miss Ye.”

Having said that, he amiably took He Xu by the hand and left.

Ye Mengyun was left dumbstruck. When she finally came to her senses, she picked up the water glass and hurled it.

Crash!

The water glass shattered upon impact.

”You’re the one without manners,” she muttered.

”Your whole family lacks manners.”

Ye Mengyun was fuming.

She then took out her phone and dialed Ye Zhongshan’s number.
