Boom—
Chen Xiao felt as if struck by lightning, a furious rage surging to his head:
"Mom? What happened? Didn't you go to Mingzhu City to order an ultrasound machine? Why were you scammed?"
Recalling the scam before the car accident, Chen Qing was furious:
"The ultrasound equipment supplier I contacted was a scammer arranged by Ba Wang Group. They said I could buy a million-dollar four-dimensional ultrasound machine on installments as long as I had the property deed for Jishi Tang.
After they swindled our property deed, they even wanted me to drink with some guy in sunglasses. They're worse than pigs and dogs!
I realized something was wrong and quickly booked a flight back to Juxian City, but I didn't expect that guy in sunglasses to pursue me relentlessly, flipping my car on the airport expressway..."
Without a doubt, the man in sunglasses Chen Qing mentioned was Bai Lang, whom Chen Xiao had beaten into the hospital!
Clenching his fists tightly, Chen Xiao asked with a dark expression:
"Mom, who was that scammer arranged by Ba Wang Group?"
With a bitter smile, Chen Qing shook her head and said:
"Since he was a scammer, how could he possibly let me know his real identity? If I hadn't accidentally overheard him talking with the man in sunglasses, I wouldn't even have known he was a high-ranking executive of Ba Wang Group..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she, still severely injured and not fully recovered, fainted from exhaustion.
Imagining the dangers Chen Qing encountered on her trip to Mingzhu City, Chen Xiao clenched his fists even tighter, his knuckles cracking.
After suppressing his anger and performing bone-setting massage on Chen Qing with the Wugou Zheng Gu Shu, Chen Xiao decided to go directly to Bai Lang, vowing inwardly:
"No matter who that Ba Wang Group executive is, I will make him regret being born!"
Coincidentally, just as Chen Xiao was about to leave, he received a call from Bai Jing, Bai Lang's half-sister and the beautiful owner of "Lizhi Tiancheng Beauty Salon."
Politely stating that she got Chen Xiao's phone number from Song Nuan, she said hesitantly:
"Dr. Chen... are you at your clinic?"
Chen Xiao knew what Bai Jing wanted to say without even guessing, and he sneered:
"Ye Yinhuan wants you to beg me to save your brother's life?"
"No, no, no! This is my own decision. My stepmother doesn't know we know each other."
On the phone, Bai Jing's voice became more flustered:
"Bai Lang was transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital under the Provincial Medical University overnight. But the doctors there are helpless and dare not pull the fruit knife from his chest. This morning, they issued a critical illness notice, saying he could die at any moment. My father is so worried he's fallen ill, and the Ye family is threatening to retaliate against you.
Dr. Chen, it's better to resolve enmities than to escalate them. If you're willing to save Bai Lang regardless of past grievances, not only is money not an issue, but I can also guarantee that the Ye family will no longer trouble you."
This was truly a case of "when you wish for a pillow, someone delivers it."
Chen Xiao said without hesitation:
"You can have Ye Yinhuan send him to Jishi Tang now."
Fearing that Bai Lang wouldn't come, Chen Xiao sent Bai Jing the address of Jishi Tang after hanging up the phone, and then sharpened his knives.
About half an hour passed, and Chen Xiao's patience began to wear thin. He couldn't help but send Bai Jing another message:
"Tell Ye Yinhuan I'll wait for her for at most an hour. After that, I'm not waiting!"
From Shenwu City to Juxian City, an hour was extremely tight, but this was not something Chen Xiao should be concerned about.
Another half hour or so passed, and with a deafening roar, a large truck with over a dozen tires suddenly roared in, brazenly blocking the entrance to Jishi Tang.
Immediately after, another luxury car sped over, and a middle-aged, portly man, accompanied by two burly bodyguards, swaggered into Jishi Tang.
He was Liu Zihao's father and Gou Shunquan's brother-in-law, Liu Jinya, the newly appointed director of Ba Wang Group.
Seeing the other party's hostile intent, Chen Xiao frowned slightly:
"Who are you?"
Liu Jinya sneered, his gold-capped canine tooth glinting menacingly:
"Liu Zihao's father, Liu Jinya!"
As he spoke, the two bodyguards, flexing their muscles, immediately surrounded Chen Xiao from the left and right.
Fiddling with a gleaming boning knife, Chen Xiao was fearless and composed:
"So, you want me to stab you into the hospital to join your son?"
"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to Director Liu like that?"
The two bodyguards were enraged and attacked Chen Xiao simultaneously. One punched towards Chen Xiao's face, while the other grabbed a long bench nearby and swung it at Chen Xiao's lower body.
"You're bullying me in my own shop, and you expect me to be polite?"
Silently activating the Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill, Chen Xiao first kicked the bodyguard who was punching him, then sidestepped the incoming bench. His sharp knife flashed like lightning, piercing the arm of the bodyguard wielding the bench, pinning him firmly to the bench.
Liu Jinya clearly hadn't expected Chen Xiao to be so skilled in combat. He instinctively took half a step back and frantically clapped his hands to signal.
Instantly, more than twenty street thugs, armed with clubs, poured out of the truck blocking the entrance like a tide.
