The old man’s eyes swept around, looking for Ye Chen’s figure, but failed to locate his savior.
He could clearly tell that not only had the poison in his body been removed, but his entire body felt rejuvenated.
It was as if he had aged backwards twenty years!
This divine doctor’s ability was truly heaven-defying!
The burly man finally reacted and rushed over. He said excitedly, “Dad, is it really you? You’re alive?”
“Did you want me to die instead?” The old man snorted coldly.
“No, no, no… Dad, I didn’t mean it that way… But just now, the doctors clearly said that you…”
The burly man did not continue.
Could it be that the kid really saved his father?
The old man glared at his son and said, “If it wasn’t for that divine doctor, you might have really had to prepare a coffin for me!”
With that, the old man walked toward Zhu Rende and the others. He remembered Ye Chen’s instructions before he left.
“The Zhu family is innocent! Hurry up and undo their restraints,” the old man said solemnly.
“Yes, sir!”
Soon, the Zhu family members regained their freedom. They looked at the old man in front of them, but did not dare to speak.
Although this old man had retired, the network of connections he had amassed was terrifying.
“I have made things difficult for your Zhu family these past few days. You have my apologies,” the old man said.
This frightened Zhu Rende and the others!
How could they accept the apology of such a big shot?
They quickly few of them expressed that it was no big deal.
The old man nodded and changed the topic.
The Zhu family knew why the old man was apologizing. It had nothing to do with them, but everything to do with Ye Chen!
Zhu Weifeng and his wife’s expressions were a little ugly. When they recalled their attitude toward Ye Chen in the living room, they felt terribly ashamed.
If Zhu Rende had not trusted his gut and Ye Chen, the Zhu family would have been finished.
Zhu Rende turned his head and said to the old man, “Sir, that young miracle doctor is called Ye Chen. He’s a young friend that I met by chance.”
“Ye Chen, that’s a good name…”
The old man nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Do you have his contact number?”
“I do, but Mr. Ye doesn’t like to be disturbed,” Zhu Rende said hesitantly.
After all, without Ye Chen’s permission, it was not appropriate to give his contact details.
The old man nodded and did not force him. It was easy for him to obtain that information himself.
Suddenly, he turned around, and his gaze turned cold. He stared at a flustered woman and ordered the people beside him, “Xiao Cui, send the Zhu family back to their villa! Next, I’m going to cauterize some malignant tumors!”
“Vps. sir!”
The night was as black as ink.
North of River City, in a bamboo garden near Mount Qiu Huang, there was a courtyard, within which was the Jiang family’s villa.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Jiang family’s villa was extremely solemn. In the middle of the courtyard were three coffins!
A middle-aged man dressed in training attire sat at the center of the family hall. His body was trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He was the strongest grandmaster of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuanli!
The surrounding experts of the Jiang family did not even dare to breathe loudly. They knew that Jiang Yuanli was on the verge of exploding in rage.
After all, his most beloved son, Jiang Wenlin, had died tragically!
The moment the coffins appeared at the entrance of the Jiang family’s villa, Jiang Yuanli had punched the ground angrily, creating a huge crater.
The wrath of a grandmaster was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
“Pa!”
Jiang Yuanli slammed his palm on the table beside him, instantly shattering it. Powerful fluctuations swept out in all directions.
A few of the Jiang family’s experts were forced to take a few steps back, and the blood qi in their bodies surged.
“Who did it? Why did they touch my son?! Why?”
“Who in River City dared to offend me by doing this?”
An earth-shattering roar resounded within a radius of ten miles!
Jiang Yuanli’s body trembled. After a few seconds, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the two young men.
“Wenshui, Wenli, have you found out who sent the coffins?”
A young man stepped forward and shook his head. “Dad, we cross-checked their appearances with the database. They don’t seem to be from River City. The details are still under investigation..”
Jiang Yuanli stood up and snorted coldly.
“In River City, there aren’t many who dare to anger my Jiang family! Wenlin got into trouble while participating in the auction. Go and investigate everyone at the auction! Every single one! Even if you have to turn River City upside down, you must find the murderer! I want him to die! I want his family to die! I want everyone he knows to die!”
At the Grand City apartment complex, it was already nine o’clock at night when Ye Chen returned home. He thought that the two girls would be asleep, but when he opened the door, he sensed that something was amiss.
There was actually someone else here.
The door opened, and the atmosphere in the living room seemed a little quiet.
As expected, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi were not the only ones in the room. There was also a woman standing there, confronting Xia Ruoxue.
After looking closely, Ye Chen realized that she was Xia Ruoxue’s mother.
Her mother also had two bodyguards standing beside her. They were both ancient martial artists.
Naturally, Xia Ruoxue’s mother noticed Ye Chen entering the room as well.
She glanced at him and snorted coldly. Then, she said to Xia Ruoxue, “You’ve been staying in such a shabby place for the past few days. There isn’t even a bathtub. How could you take a bath here?”
“Ruoxue, don’t throw a tantrum. You don’t have to go back to Jiangnan Province for now, but you have to go back to the family’s villa in River City.”
Xia Ruoxue’s gaze was cold and angry. She raised her head and said, “Mom, I think this place is fine. At the very least, it’s warmer than that cold villa. It’s getting late. I’m going to rest, so you should leave.”
Sun Yi did not know what to do next. The two of them had been arguing for a long time, and she did not know if and how she should persuade them.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother shook her head and said, “It will be your birthday soon. I have already started preparing the birthday banquet for you. This time, I’ve chosen to hold the banquet in River City for you. This is the biggest concession I can make.”
“Come back with me. At the banquet, you’ll see what a true scion is like.”
How could Xia Ruoxue not understand her mother’s intentions? She rejected her immediately.
“Sun Yi has already promised to celebrate my birthday. I don’t want a banquet, and that’s that!”
Her mother’s expression darkened after hearing that ultimatum.
“Ruoxue, are you coming back with me or not? You are the daughter of the Xia family. Who is going to protect your safety in this rundown place?”
Before she could finish, Ye Chen piped up, “I’ll protect her!”
