Medical and Martial God

Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Capsize in the Yin Gutter

”What am I doing at the Shen Family? Do I need to report to you?” Ye Xiu asked teasingly.

”You...” Shen Monong huffed. ”I am a member of the Shen Family, and you are not welcome here. If you have any shame, get out immediately.”

Ye Xiu’s face turned cold. ”Dare to talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I could crush you.”

Shen Monong’s delicate body trembled in fear, but she steeled herself and said, ”I won’t kick you out, but you have to rescue my dad.”

Ye Xiu paused. Was Shen Shijie still imprisoned in the dungeon?

He sneered, ”Why should I help you? Because you failed to poison me? Or because you’re a member of the Shen Family?”

”Because you’re the reason my dad was thrown in the dungeon,” Shen Monong retorted unreasonably. ”Great-grandfather only imprisoned him to force me to kill you, so it’s your responsibility to get him out.”

Ye Xiu was floored by her logic. Only a complete moron could say something so brain-dead.

However, he was curious to see the Shen Family’s dungeon.

”Alright,” he said. ”Lead the way.”

Shen Monong was dazed. She never expected Ye Xiu to actually agree to rescue her father. Not wanting to overthink it, she just said, ”Follow me!”

”Okay!”

Ye Xiu followed behind Shen Monong, admiring her alluring silhouette. If only this woman had a bit more intelligence, she’d be perfect. What a shame. With only her stunning looks and impressive figure, she would have been reduced to a mere plaything if she hadn’t been born into a powerful clan like the Shen Family.

Soon, Ye Xiu followed Shen Monong to Building 15.

”Ye Xiu?”

The young man guarding the stairwell lit up with surprise at the sight of Shen Monong. However, upon seeing Ye Xiu behind her, he quickly masked his expression, hastily drew his sword, and asked coldly, ”Shen Monong, what are you doing bringing Ye Xiu here?”

Shen Monong gave the young man a subtle look but didn’t answer. Instead, she turned to Ye Xiu.

”His name is Shen Shicheng,” she explained. ”He was born to Shen Shihao and a nightclub hostess. Because he had the aptitude to be a Martial Artist, he was sent to the Wang Family to train from a young age. He’s a Fifth Grade Martial Artist. Great-grandfather put him in charge of guarding the dungeon.”

”How dare you insult me, Shen Monong! You’re courting death!” Shen Shicheng roared, having understood her look and playing his part with feigned fury.

”Ye Xiu is right here. I dare you to touch me,” Shen Monong said, putting on a brave front, relying entirely on Ye Xiu’s presence.

”You...” Shen Shicheng glanced warily at Ye Xiu before turning back to Shen Monong. ”You dare bring Ye Xiu to the dungeon? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Grandfather and Great-grandfather?”

”Go ahead,” Shen Monong shrugged, then said to Ye Xiu, ”Bring him along. In the entire Shen Family, besides Great-grandfather, Grandfather, and Shen Shihao, he’s the only one who can open the dungeon door.”

Ye Xiu quietly watched their performance before playing along. He said to Shen Shicheng, ”Are you going to come with us peacefully, or do I have to beat you up first?”

Shen Shicheng hesitated for three seconds. ”I’ll go with you.”

”Let’s go!” Shen Monong declared with a wave of her hand, leading the way with a triumphant swagger.

Ye Xiu was left speechless. It’s just an act. Is there really a need to be so smug about it?

Still, he was curious why Shen Monong and Shen Shicheng were putting on this show.

The three of them arrived at the first basement level. In a typical residential complex, the first basement level is for storage units and the second is for parking. Here in Building 15, however, the first basement level was a dungeon. The walls were solid metal, and even the cell doors were the same. It was a veritable steel fortress.

”My dad is locked up in this cell!” Shen Monong announced, stopping them in front of cell number three. She turned to Shen Shicheng and ordered, ”Open the door!”

Shen Shicheng hurriedly entered the password, completed the retinal scan, and pressed his thumb to the fingerprint reader. With a heavy click and a groan, the cell door swung open.

The sound of the heavy door startled Ye Xiu. The door itself was at least half a meter thick, and the walls of the cell were even thicker. A prison like this could hold even a War God.

At that moment, an idea struck Ye Xiu. If I let myself get imprisoned here, would Gun God come to me?

”Dad, come out, quickly!” Shen Monong stood at the doorway and shouted into the cell.

Shen Shijie, who was in the middle of painting, trotted over happily with a palette in his left hand and a paintbrush in his right. He did a double-take. ”Monong? Ye Xiu? Shicheng? What are you three...”

”Dad, we can talk about it after we get out,” Shen Monong urged, cutting him off.

”Oh, right!” Shen Shijie hurried out of the cell.

Just then, Shen Shicheng, who was standing behind Ye Xiu, suddenly kicked him squarely in the rear. Ye Xiu froze for a second, then finally understood the purpose of their act.

So they wanted to lock me in the cell.

What a coincidence. I was just thinking about getting in here myself.

And so, Ye Xiu played along, stumbling forward and plunging headfirst into the cell.

CLANG! The heavy door shut behind him.

What the hell...

Ye Xiu stared at the closed door, feigning fury. ”Shen Shicheng, you’re looking for death!”

”The one looking for death isn’t me. It’s Sister Monong,” Shen Shicheng’s voice drifted in from outside.

”Haha! Ye Xiu, you didn’t see that coming, did you?” Shen Monong’s triumphant voice rang out. ”In the Shen Family, Shicheng and I are the closest. We were just putting on a show for you, and you were foolish enough to fall for it.”

Ye Xiu could only scoff internally.

”Sister Monong, that was an incredible move,” Shen Shicheng said admiringly, practically buzzing with excitement. ”Now that we’ve imprisoned Ye Xiu, we just have to starve him for a few days and he’ll be dead. Then I’ll become part of the Main Lineage, just like you!”

”I hope that you’ll take control of the Shen Family one day,” Shen Monong said, patting his shoulder encouragingly. ”Then our lives will be much easier.”

”I will work hard!” Shen Shicheng declared, full of fighting spirit.

”Shen Monong!” Ye Xiu walked up to the door and glared at her through the small food slot. ”With my help, you didn’t have to marry that piece of trash Lian Zhengrong. Then you tried to poison me, and I let it slide. Now, I just helped you rescue Shen Shijie, and you repay my kindness by locking me up. Don’t you have any shame?”

The act has to be convincing, or Shen Songshan and Gun God will get suspicious.

”This isn’t my fault. I had to do it,” Shen Monong said coldly. ”If I didn’t imprison you, Dad would just get captured again sooner or later, even if he escaped. In his anger, Great-grandfather might even have killed him. For my father, for the happiness of our family, I had no choice but to sacrifice you. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being stupid enough to help me.”
