Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 97: Chapter 97, Can I Freeload?

Lin Yiren instantly blushed at the simplicity of his words, her beautiful eyes filled with ambiguity. She asked nervously, ”Do you feel sorry for your sister-in-law?”

Xu Wendong shook his head and said truthfully, ”It’s not pity, just a bit of heartache for her.”

Lin Yiren smiled brightly. ”Actually, hearing you say that, I’m already content.”

Xu Wendong was at a loss. ”Then... do you still... do you still need my help?”

Xu Wendong’s heart inexplicably sped up. Although he had helped Lin Yiren before, it was when Lin Yiren brought it up. This was the only time he proactively wanted to help her.

Lin Yiren blushed, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. They kissed from the doorway to the bed. When Lin Yiren wanted to take the lead, Xu Wendong stopped her, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: ”Can I use my hand?”

Though he wanted to help Lin Yiren, he had never thought about doing such a thing. He couldn’t cross that barrier in his heart, but he could reluctantly accept using his hand.

Lin Yiren hesitated for a moment, a bit disappointed, but still blushed and answered softly, ”Can you just rub it?”

Xu Wendong instinctively swallowed.

Just rubbing?

If that was the case, he could accept it, but he feared Lin Yiren would push her luck, asking him to go further after the rubbing.

If so, he would certainly not be able to control himself.

Thus, he said softly, ”Let’s just use the hand...”

Lin Yiren buried her head in his embrace, whispering, ”I shouldn’t force you to do something you don’t want to do. Don’t worry, I won’t do this again.”

The next day.

When Xu Wendong woke up, Huang Ruirui had already transformed into a knight, riding atop him with a rhythmic bounce, looking full of vitality.

Xu Wendong immediately became fully awake, and the room filled with melodious notes.

After the two of them finished and freshened up, they went downstairs where Lin Yiren had prepared breakfast.

The three of them chatted leisurely while eating breakfast, and the atmosphere was warm.

Suddenly.

Huang Ruirui’s phone rang. She quickly connected the call and turned on the living room TV, changing the channel to Qingyuan Television Station. On screen was a host in a white suit, elegant and poised.

It was none other than Xu Fan, who had interviewed at Huang Ruirui’s company yesterday.

She delivered a standard, clear introduction in Mandarin, then got straight to the point, ”Yesterday, our county experienced an extremely malicious business competition tactic. Please see the report from the scene...”

The screen shifted to the events of yesterday appearing on TV.

Seeing this scene, the three were very excited, moving to the living room to watch while eating. Although it was less than three minutes, it explained how the Oulan Company had hired people to provoke.

Of course, it also showcased the miraculous effect of the noblewoman’s ointment that healed Zhang Lanxi’s full-body rash quickly.

Frankly, this news report felt like expensive promotion done by Huang Ruirui, leading her to sigh, ”I have to say, your mind truly is clever. Just using a set of noblewoman’s ointment achieved promotion effects that money couldn’t buy.”

”Although that pretty reporter might have covered the news anyway, it definitely wouldn’t have favored us.”

Huang Ruirui was excited. Although Qingyuan Television Station’s ratings were not very high, its morning news was the top-rated show.

The key audience might be middle-aged and elderly people, with few young viewers, but do not underestimate their influence.

Their influence was comparable to the speed of online spreading. For example, if something outrageous happened in South City, it wouldn’t take long for all of Qingyuan to hear about it.

Not to mention that Oulan Company’s behavior was confirmed, and their reputation would soon be in ruins.

After breakfast.

The three ended their hot spring vacation at Phoenix Mountain Villa. Huang Ruirui drove Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren back to Qingyuan, but midway, Xu Wendong received a call from Wu Mei.

Although he didn’t know why Wu Mei called, he knew it couldn’t be good. It was likely she wanted him to submit to her...

Despite this, he pressed the answer button, and Wu Mei’s anxious voice came through: ”Where are you right now? Can you hurry to the hospital?”

Xu Wendong’s expression changed suddenly, a sense of foreboding arising, ”What happened?”

”Director Wang from the Urban Development Bureau had a car accident and is in critical condition. We have to save him no matter what,” Wu Mei explained the situation.

”I’ll go back immediately.” Xu Wendong hung up anxiously and turned to Huang Ruirui, ”Sister, can you drive faster?”

He knew about Wu Mei and Chen Ping’an treating the Urban Development Bureau leaders to dinner last night and gifting five million in yellow croaker, theoretically securing the project.

Who could have imagined that the other party would have a car accident?

If Director Wang really died, other leaders would definitely descend on the Urban Development Bureau. If so, it would affect the ownership of the South City reconstruction project.

Not to mention, they gave out five million worth of yellow croaker last night as well.

Huang Ruirui didn’t know why Xu Wendong was so anxious but nodded solemnly, gripping the steering wheel and pressing the accelerator.

Although the speed increased, she was still a cautious driver, making Xu Wendong almost want to drive himself.

”Seems like I really need to find time to get a driver’s license.”

Xu Wendong sighed silently. Traveling without a car was indeed inconvenient.

Looking outside at the passing scenery, Xu Wendong’s gaze became deep, ”How could Director Wang from the Urban Development Bureau have a car accident at such a critical moment?”

”Is it a coincidence, or is someone behind it?”

Xu Wendong didn’t believe it was a coincidence, but he also didn’t want to believe someone was behind it.

After all, it was a living person’s life we were talking about.

Although Zhao Sihai was also a life, he was a man of the underworld, and dying in others’ schemes counted as just desserts, the best outcome for someone of the underworld.

But Director Wang from the Urban Development Bureau shouldn’t meet such an end. For him, this was truly an undeserved calamity.

”I underestimated these people’s methods after all!” Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with a sinister coldness. The methods of Shengpeng Group were despicable and terrifying.

Facing such opponents with no bottom line, no one knew what might happen.

The car sped down the road, taking a full forty-minute journey. Finally, the car arrived at the hospital, and before it could even stop, Xu Wendong hurriedly opened the car door and ran into the emergency room.

There, Wu Mei, Chen Ping’an, and Director Wang’s family were anxiously waiting. Xu Wendong quickly asked, ”How is the patient’s condition? Has he escaped danger?”
