Chapter 2781 - 2783: Another Trump Card?

"Why, he’s just a live-in son-in-law, the boss of Chenhe Group."

Xue Lan was still unconvinced.

"That’s why you don’t know a damn thing!"

Xue Mu cursed again: "Do you even know that Mr. Xiao possesses unrivaled medical skills.

Even Master Gu is like a kid in front of him.

He’s someone who holds the power over life and death.

Of course, that’s just his hobby.

His real terrifying power lies in his invincible martial prowess.

Throughout the entire Central Plains Prefecture, no one can match his strength.

There’s more, which I can’t tell you.

I’m just speculating here.

He can make the Defense Army Commander and the Yama Hall Commander obey his orders.

I suspect his identity is even more frightening than I know."

What!

This time, Xue Lan was truly frightened.

Unparalleled medical skills are one thing.

If others don’t need you, you’re worthless.

But formidable martial prowess is truly terrifying.

In this Martial Artist Age, great martial strength signifies high status.

Just these two capabilities make Xiao Chen someone who can’t be underestimated

Besides, according to Xue Mu,

it seems Xiao Chen’s identity is even more than that.

"You’re really cocky.

Look at Liu Yu, is her status or appearance inferior to yours?

How does she know to curry favor with Xiao Chen?

Because she clearly understands.

Even if she can’t be with Xiao Chen,

just being friends means Xiao Chen will take care of things."

And you, you’re unbelievably stupid.

Not only do you not know how to curry favor with him,

but you also deliberately provoke him."

I really can’t fathom.

How did your brain grow?

What’s the problem?

I’m just asking you to befriend him, get closer to him.

What’s wrong?

Do you want to become Mr. Xiao’s woman?

To be honest, you’re not worthy.

I’m not counting on it either."

"Humph, I don’t care.

My ambitions are bigger than you think.

Whether it’s Young Master Yun or Young Master Gu, they’re both stronger than him."

Xue Lan still wasn’t satisfied.

"That’s why you don’t get it.

Yun Ying and Gu Xuan are nothing more than jumping grasshoppers in front of Mr. Xiao.

Not worth mentioning."

Xue Mu sneered.

"Impossible, just judging by the mess he’s caused, hitting people repeatedly,

he’s just a brutal madman."

Anyone who follows him is unlucky."

Xue Lan said.

"Haven’t you seen the surveillance videos?

Don’t know what’s happening?

What’s hitting people?

So what if he kills people?

This world is darker than you imagine.

There are always people controlling most of the fate.

They can destroy a family, even a clan or a country, at will.

And if you want to break away from their control,

the only way is through martial power."

The Martial Artist Age, you’re talking about gentlemanly etiquette?

You really live naively and foolishly."

Xue Mu sighed, filled with disappointment in his daughter: "Those gentlemen and etiquette you see, are just the most superficial things.

Do you truly understand Yun Ying and Gu Xuan’s character?

The extent of their vileness is beyond your imagination.

Enough, I’m too lazy to deal with you.

Choose for yourself.

Either you become self-reliant.

Or obediently listen to me.

How could I, as a father, harm you."

In the luxurious hall of Lan Lake Residence.

Top-grade new tea was placed on the table.

Xiao Chen drank tea while listening to Huo Yutong pleading with Liu Yu.

"Miss Liu Yu, I’ve heard there’s a Divine Doctor who cured your father.

Could you help me get in touch?

My father works day and night, and now he’s sick due to overwork.

Many doctors say it’s hopeless.

Right now, this is my last bit of hope."

Huo Yutong cried out.

Liu Yu bitterly smiled: "The Divine Doctor you’re looking for is right beside you.

"What?"

Huo Yutong froze for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiao Chen.

Apart from Liu Yu and her father, there was only Xiao Chen here.

The Divine Doctor Liu Yu mentioned was naturally Xiao Chen.

"You’re not joking, are you?"

Huo Yutong was disbelief.

"Why would I joke with you.

It was truly Mr. Xiao who saved my father."

Liu Yu said.

Liu Yan also nodded: "That’s right, it’s Mr. Xiao."

"Yutong, is something wrong with your father?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, my father’s health indeed has serious problems."

Huo Yutong said.

"Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll send Zhang Jiuzhen to take a look first.

If he can’t handle it, once this matter here is settled, I’ll go over myself."

Xiao Chen said.

"Thank you so much, Boss."

"Thank me for what, when a company employee is in trouble, how could I stand by and do nothing?"

Xiao Chen said: "Alright, President Liu, please arrange a car to take Huo Yutong back, and I’ll call Zhang Jiuzhen directly."

"Okay!"

Liu Yan nodded.

He immediately complied.

Huo Yutong returned with a heart full of hope.

Even when she left Lan Lake Residence, she hadn’t yet recovered from the shock.

Her boss turned out to be such a remarkable figure.

Not only is he great at business.

But he also knows so much.

After Huo Yutong left, Divine Doctor Xue also arrived.

They sat down to chat together.

Xiao Chen casually asked about the rules of the National Medical Conference.

After all, he really had no clue about this conference.

Divine Doctor Xue laughed: "Actually, the rules of the conference are very simple.

It’s essentially a test of medical skills.

One patient from each of the eight prefectures undergoes simulated treatment.

The entire process is calculated with precise data.

It’s almost identical to reality.

If the simulated treatment succeeds, it’s considered as having cured the patient.

The final ranking is based on the number of patients cured.

Generally, each prefecture has a representative organization.

For example, the Central Plains Prefecture is represented by the Canglan Sect.

It’s aimed at resource concentration.

To better secure victory.

Though it’s allowed for a prefecture to send two organizations.

But it can’t exceed two.

Details don’t need much elaboration.

The organization that takes the first place will have the right to occupy half of the medical resources of the eight prefectures.

That’s the largest piece of the cake.

The remaining half will be divided among other organizations.

If the ranking doesn’t match up with the previous year, naturally, the cake in hand must be surrendered.

Even the resources at hand must be offered up.

The Central Plains Prefecture has consistently ranked at the bottom in three consecutive National Medical Conferences.

This has led to the medical resources of the Central Plains Prefecture being unable to move out.

Medicines can’t be sold.

Equipment can’t be sold.

It’s truly miserable.

Check out the medicines sold in our pharmacies.

Most are from outside prefectures.

It’s really embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh. It seems the doctors in the other seven prefectures are far superior to those in the Central Plains Prefecture.

Divine Doctor Xue continued: "This time, Master Gu returned from training in the Capital City.

He immediately became a guest of honor at your Canglan Sect."

They all expect him to gain some benefits.

Coupled with the high-salary hired Needle Master Ding.

This time the Canglan Sect is determined to secure a ranking.

Even if it’s not first place, it definitely can’t be last place.

Otherwise, the Canglan Sect’s pharmaceutical market will shrink again."

Xiao Chen chuckled.

He roughly understood.

Canglan Sect clearly isn’t doing well, yet they’re so arrogant.

Who knows how many days they can keep jumping around.

Or perhaps, they have hidden cards?
