"Ah—"
With the silver needle piercing his neck, Leng Shan let out a sharp cry of pain. Mustering his last ounce of strength, he kicked Chen Xiao back and fled in his car, like a cunning old snake shedding its skin.
Chen Xiao, his heart still pounding, finally felt a sliver of relief. He thought to himself:
"Hit by my Five Poisons Demonic Needle, you won't escape even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"
Having witnessed the violent scenes of Chen Xiao defeating Leng Shan, Pan Haitang and Zheng Youen were already stunned into silence. Zheng Liming, who had been frozen on the spot, was so terrified that he immediately knelt down.
"Dr. Chen... Dr. Chen, little brother... little brother was blinded by greed and asked that fellow to deal with you. Now I've brought a wolf into the house. I truly... I truly regret it..."
"Slap!"
Chen Xiao didn't hesitate, landing a fierce slap on Zheng Liming's face.
"Who exactly is that old dog?"
"Dad—"
Zheng Youen couldn't bear to see it and rushed into Zheng Liming's arms, weeping.
Pan Haitang didn't dare to blame Chen Xiao for hitting her husband. Trembling, she said, "Dr. Chen, that fellow is nominally Zheng Youzhi's martial arts master, but he's actually backed by the Ye family. In recent years, he's been extorting money from our family under the guise of teaching Zheng Youzhi snake fist. Although you've driven him away now, there's no guarantee he won't return for revenge. So... so I suggest you flee Juxian City tonight, preferably abroad..."
Fearing Chen Xiao would refuse, she paused and continued in an even more anxious tone, "Since this matter started because of my family, I will undoubtedly take responsibility. As long as you're willing, besides all expenses, Youen... Youen can accompany you. I... I can even arrange for you to continue working in a hospital abroad. It's just... it's just that I hope you won't blame my husband anymore..."
As she spoke, her spirit completely broken, she slumped to the ground.
Although Zheng Youen had developed a secret affection for Chen Xiao and would have welcomed an international trip with him, the thought of the potential danger her parents might face made her choke back sobs and shake her head repeatedly.
"Dad, Mom, I'd rather die than leave you! If Chen Xiao and I leave, not only will Leng Shan, but probably the Ye family as well, seek revenge on you, sob... sob sob..."
Zheng Liming, having learned his lesson, persuaded with red eyes, "Youen, time is of the essence. Don't delay. Hurry up and go with Dr. Chen. As long as you two live well, your mother and I can die with a smile."
Seeing the three members of the Zheng family looking as if they were parting forever, Chen Xiao couldn't help but yawn. Then, with tired steps, he entered the house and said without looking back, "Go back and rest. The sky won't fall!"
The weeping Zheng family exchanged glances, unable to recover for a long time.
Finally, Pan Haitang suddenly slapped her thigh, her face filled with excitement. "That's right! Since Dr. Chen said so, it means he's not afraid of Leng Shan or even the Ye family's revenge. Why should we worry unnecessarily?"
Zheng Liming was stunned at first, then nodded in agreement, his expression filled with awe. "Yes, yes, yes. Dr. Chen must have an incredibly powerful backer behind him, someone we can't imagine. Otherwise, how could he have become such an exceptional talent, skilled in both medicine and martial arts, at such a young age?"
Zheng Youen looked blankly at the Maserati with its conspicuous license plate parked nearby. Then she remembered that the fiery red Porsche driven by Wu Huixian belonged to Zhou Wannong. She suddenly felt lost and inadequate, murmuring to herself, "No wonder Wannong's and Song Yan's cars were parked at our doorstep at the same time. No wonder he disdained living abroad with me. Alas!"
After closing the door, Chen Xiao eagerly got into bed and closed his eyes to cultivate the Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill. He was completely unaware that the Zheng Liming family had mistaken him for a son of an immensely powerful family, far more influential than they could comprehend. The appearance of Leng Shan had made him increasingly aware of the Ye family's terrifying power, and he urgently needed to strengthen himself with the Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill.
The night passed without incident.
Chen Xiao woke up again as the sky was just beginning to lighten. He felt refreshed, energetic, and his divine strength had further improved compared to the previous day.
He was awakened by a "knock, knock, knock" at the door. When he opened it, he saw Song Nuan, with her naturally alluring charm, bright eyes, white teeth, and a captivating figure, standing gracefully outside. He was momentarily stunned.
"Miss Song Er, why are you here?"
Today, Song Nuan was dressed more revealingly than usual, with her shoulders, waist, back, and legs exposed. She was a vision of vibrant beauty, captivating the eye.
Playfully, she slipped under Chen Xiao's arm and entered the Jishetang. With a radiant and charming gaze, she spoke, "A day without seeing you feels like three autumns. I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I couldn't bear it any longer and came to find you in the middle of the night. But when I reached your doorstep, I couldn't bear to wake you, so I spent the night feeding the mosquitoes outside. Feel how itchy I am from the bites!"
Accompanied by a refreshing scent, she slightly tiptoed and, as she spoke, she actively took Chen Xiao's hand and gently stroked her stunningly beautiful, fair face. Her flower-like, soft and delicate body then leaned into Chen Xiao's embrace.
