Medical and Martial God

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Use Their Own Way to Counter Them

Luo Qiwei’s voice was loud. He did it on purpose, wanting everyone in the restaurant to hear.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words ”Divine Doctor Ye,” everyone in the restaurant stood up and looked around.

”Divine Doctor Ye? Where?”

”Which one is Divine Doctor Ye?”

”Would Divine Doctor Ye come to a place like this to eat? Where is he?”

Just then, the diners saw Luo Qiwei heading toward a table in the corner, and their gazes followed. When they saw Ye Xiu, they all grew excited, forgetting their meals as they flocked toward his table.

”Divine Doctor Ye, I didn’t expect you and your wife would also be dining here. I’m truly honored. May I take a photo with you and your wife?” Luo Qiwei asked with a smile, feigning a look of surprise, admiration, and honor as he walked toward Ye Xiu’s table.

His wife?

The diners in the restaurant were taken aback. They had never heard that Ye Xiu was married. At once, everyone’s eyes turned to Murong.

It was only then that Dragon Hollyhock reacted, and she immediately panicked. She knew perfectly well that the person dining with Ye Xiu was not Qin Qing, but Murong. If it got out that Divine Doctor Ye was dining with another woman at a couple’s restaurant, Ye Xiu’s reputation would be ruined again. Of course, Dragon Hollyhock did not care about Ye Xiu’s reputation. She was worried that Luo Qiwei’s actions would infuriate Ye Xiu and consequently implicate her.

”Luo Qiwei, do you have any idea what you’re doing?” Ye Xiu’s expression was extremely grim. It was painfully obvious what Luo Qiwei was trying to do.

Seeing Ye Xiu’s grim expression, Luo Qiwei was inwardly delighted. ”Divine Doctor Ye, please don’t be angry. I’m just a huge admirer and really wanted to take a photo with you.”

By then, he had reached Ye Xiu’s table. He looked at Murong with feigned surprise and said, ”Oh, who is this? Divine Doctor Ye, isn’t your wife Miss Qin Qing from the Qin Family? Why have you brought this woman to a couple’s restaurant for dinner? Could it be that you’ve divorced Qin Qing?”

WHOOSH!

The moment he said this, the entire restaurant was in an uproar.

Everyone had thought Murong was Ye Xiu’s wife, but it turned out she was not. This was some major gossip! Ye Xiu clearly had a wife but was dining with another woman in a couple’s restaurant. This was a clear-cut affair! In an instant, the perfect image of Divine Doctor Ye in everyone’s mind collapsed.

”Luo Qiwei, wouldn’t you rather stay alive? Why must you seek death?” Ye Xiu slowly stood up, suppressing his rage as he asked.

Seeing this, Luo Qiwei took several steps back, blustering, ”Divine Doctor Ye, you’re not going to fly into a rage from shame and kill me to silence me, are you? I didn’t mean to expose you. Really, you don’t need to be angry. With your great fame, it’s quite normal to have eight or ten mistresses on the side...”

Though this sounded like an apology, he was actually telling everyone present that he was not making things up. The girl across from Ye Xiu was indeed not Qin Qing, and Ye Xiu was now so furious about being caught that he was about to publicly murder someone to cover it up.

”You are truly naive,” Ye Xiu said coldly, walking toward Luo Qiwei with an icy expression. ”Do you think revealing that I’m dining with another girl can ruin my reputation?

”Do you think I care so much about my reputation and face that I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you in public?

”You don’t understand me at all. Ever since I was framed and smuggled out of the country ten years ago, I stopped caring about my reputation.

”Forget the fact that there are fewer than twenty people here. Even if the entire nation were watching, I would still dare to kill you.”

Every word from Ye Xiu struck Luo Qiwei’s heart like a heavy blow. Gradually, the mocking smile on Luo Qiwei’s face vanished. As Ye Xiu steadily advanced, Luo Qiwei retreated step by step, fear consuming his heart.

The diners suddenly realized that, judging by Ye Xiu’s current expression and gaze, he truly seemed capable of murder.

”Divine Doctor Ye...” Dragon Hollyhock could not help but run over, standing in front of Luo Qiwei. ”Please calm down,” she said apologetically. ”I beg you to show mercy and spare Luo Qiwei just this once.”

Dragon Hollyhock was genuinely panicked. Luo Qiwei was an important pawn in her hands, a key piece in her plan to seize the Zuo Family’s wealth. If Ye Xiu killed or crippled Luo Qiwei, her plan would be ruined.

”Oh, isn’t this the wife of Zuo You from the Zuo Family? Luo Qiwei is Zuo You’s half-brother. What does it mean for the two of you to be dining together in a couple’s restaurant?” Ye Xiu asked with amusement, instantly deciding not to kill Luo Qiwei now that Dragon Hollyhock had intervened.

”This...” Dragon Hollyhock was utterly baffled. She had never expected Ye Xiu to suddenly shift the public’s focus onto her.

Luo Qiwei was also shocked. He finally remembered the implications of him dining here with Dragon Hollyhock. The consequences were far more severe than smearing Ye Xiu with a mere affair. An affair story would, at most, be considered entertainment news and would not cause Ye Xiu any substantial harm. But if the Zuo Family found out about his relationship with Dragon Hollyhock, he could forget about ever touching a single cent of the family fortune.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Xiu’s words, all the diners were shocked. The scandals just kept on coming today.

First, Divine Doctor Ye was caught in an affair.

Then, Luo Qiwei of the Zuo Family was messing around with his own sister-in-law.

How thrilling!

”Ye Xiu, do you really think the Zuo Family will believe you just because you and these people are spreading baseless rumors about me and Dragon Hollyhock?” Luo Qiwei mocked.

Dragon Hollyhock realized he was right. A powerful clan like the Zuo Family often dealt with malicious slander. Without solid proof, they would never believe the word of Ye Xiu and a few random diners.

”You just reminded me!” Ye Xiu smiled and shouted, ”Is the manager here? Could you please come over?”

Immediately, a woman in her thirties ran over. ”Divine Doctor Ye, how may I help you?”

”Please make a copy of the surveillance footage from the last twenty minutes for me. Thank you,” Ye Xiu said.

”Of course. Please wait a moment,” the manager immediately ran off to copy the footage.

Dragon Hollyhock and Luo Qiwei instantly understood Ye Xiu’s plan. They had been on camera from the moment they entered the restaurant. Once Ye Xiu got the footage and handed it to the Zuo Family, Dragon Hollyhock would certainly be expelled from the family. As for Luo Qiwei, he would not stand a chance of inheriting a single cent.

Dragon Hollyhock wanted to stop him, but she knew that against Ye Xiu, she was powerless. Moreover, any attempt to intervene might just expose her true identity.

”Ye Xiu, don’t waste your effort! Dragon Hollyhock isn’t Zuo You’s wife. She’s just an ordinary woman,” Luo Qiwei frantically blurted out after a moment of panic.

”Yes, yes, that’s right! I’m not Zuo You’s wife,” Dragon Hollyhock quickly added.

”Are you implying the Zuo Family won’t recognize Dragon Hollyhock when they see the footage?” Ye Xiu sneered. ”You’re just saying that to fool the people here, but everyone’s not an idiot. Information about Zuo You’s wife is easily found online.”

This reminded the diners. Instantly, they all took out their smartphones and searched for ”Zuo You.” Sure enough, they found photos of Dragon Hollyhock.

”That’s right, she is Zuo You’s wife! There’s a photo of Luo Qiwei here too.”

”I found a group photo of the entire Zuo Family. This woman and Luo Qiwei are both in it.”

The diners began to clamor.
