Medical and Martial God

Just then, Long Xiaoyun called. "Ye Liangchen, how are things going on your end?" he asked, his voice extremely weak and gasping for breath.

Hearing his voice, Ye Xiu suddenly realized Long Xiaoyun’s injuries were far more serious than he had imagined. "The three Du brothers died tragically, and most of the experimental subjects are dead," he said. "I need time to deal with it and to calm the survivors. Additionally, convincing them to follow me and cooperate with the Long Family will also take time."

Long Xiaoyun said, "The Dragon Head is urging me to bring you to the Long Family Headquarters as soon as possible. He can’t wait to meet you."

Hmph, the Dragon Head can’t wait to die... Ye Xiu thought coldly, but he replied, "Alright, I’ll take the subjects to Guoyang and work on winning them over there. You can inform the Dragon Head to meet me in Guoyang."

"I will pass your message on to the Dragon Head," Long Xiaoyun replied.

"Mm."

Ye Xiu hung up the phone. Just then, a Mercedes-Benz commercial van pulled up. After getting in, he said, "Go to the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall."

"Understood!" Mo Luo replied.

Ye Xiu sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes in contemplation for a moment before taking out his phone to call Ming Yue.

「Inside the presidential suite of the Xilai Hotel.」

Ming Yue, dressed in a red robe, was reclining lazily on the sofa, sipping from a glass of crimson wine.

Suddenly, the cell phone beside her rang. Ming Yue glanced at the caller ID. When she saw it was Ye Xiu, the glass she was raising to her lips trembled, spilling the crimson wine down her chest and into her cleavage. She didn’t bother to wipe it away, hastily picking up the phone to answer.

"Ye, Ye Xiu, um, you’re calling me so suddenly. Is something the matter?"

Ye Xiu said, "Long Xiaoyun is seriously injured. Go and kill him. Remember, do it in front of the Long Family members."

Ming Yue let out a sigh of relief. She had feared Ye Xiu was calling to reprimand her. "Okay," she said. "Just wait for my good news."

「Meanwhile, in a private room at the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall.」

Song Mingde, Song Kaiwen, and a refined-looking young man were looking at Song Yushu, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed.

"Grandfather Song, with something as serious as Yushu’s kidnapping, why didn’t you notify me?" the young man asked, his tone slightly accusatory.

Song Mingde and Song Kaiwen sneered inwardly. What use would notifying him have been?

Song Mingde replied, "Chuntao, I appreciate your concern. Yushu’s kidnapping was just so sudden that I didn’t have a chance to inform you before the Patrol Officer rescued her."

Zhang Chuntao was satisfied with Song Mingde’s answer and asked, "Who kidnapped Yushu?"

"Jiao Fuping," Song Mingde said.

"That scoundrel!" Zhang Chuntao said in a rage. "That bastard Jiao Fuping, if I ever see him, I’ll definitely break his legs to get some justice for Yushu."

Song Mingde ignored the comment, asking instead, "Chuntao, did you come to the Ancient Medical Hall so early for something important?"

"Oh, I almost forgot the real business," Zhang Chuntao said, slapping his forehead. "The Bao Family from Qingfeng Road is sending someone to Han Jin City today to find a partner. I came to ask you, Grandfather Song, if you’re interested in entering the global medical market."

Ye Xiu arrived at the doorway just in time to hear this and stopped to listen quietly.

Song Mingde’s and Song Kaiwen’s minds were abuzz with excitement at Zhang Chuntao’s words.

Song Mingde excitedly asked, "Chuntao, are you saying you have a way to facilitate a cooperation between the Song Family and the Bao Family?"

"Of course!" Zhang Chuntao stated confidently. "The person the Bao Family is sending to Han Jin City is Jin Lian, the young lady of the Jin Family. She and I were college classmates and have a great relationship. I just need to give her a heads-up, and the Song Family will then be part of Ye Xiu’s charge into the global medical field."

Oh? The person the Bao Family sent is actually Jin Lian... The image of the alluring, mature Jin Lian floated into Ye Xiu’s mind as he eavesdropped from outside.

"Chuntao, we’ll be counting on you then," Song Mingde said, his breathing quickening. While he didn’t have a strong desire for money, he sincerely wanted to see Mingde Pharmaceuticals grow stronger.

"No trouble at all. As long as you agree to betroth Yushu to me, Grandfather Song, I promise to help you with this," Zhang Chuntao said with a smile.

Ye Xiu frowned from outside the door. This guy isn’t here to help the Song Family at all, but to make a deal with them. He’s using Song Yushu’s happiness as a bargaining chip for a ticket into the global medical field. What a shameless bastard!
