Medical and Martial God

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Angrily Frustrated the Master to Death

Jiao Fuping’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He hadn’t anticipated that the Patrol Officers already possessed irrefutable evidence of his crimes, leaving him utterly defenseless.

But he had given the orders to Old Liu in his office. Where could the Patrol Officers have obtained a recording?

”Jiao Fuping, you’re coming with us,” a Patrol Officer said in a cold voice.

”Go with you? Hmph, in your dreams!” Jiao Fuping leaped up, shattered the floor-to-ceiling window, and fled.

The Patrol Officers didn’t give chase. Before arriving, they had learned from Qing Luan that Jiao Fuping was a Martial Artist. Their mission was merely to pressure Jiao Fuping into fleeing in disgrace, not to apprehend him.

Next, the Patrol Officers would issue an arrest warrant and publicize Jiao Fuping’s crimes.

In truth, Ye Xiu’s objective was simple: to ruin Jiao Fuping and destroy the Wankang Wellness Hall. That was all.

「At that moment, inside the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall!」

In the restroom, Ye Xiu took out the phone from Xu Jiafa, opened the Fire Seed app, and entered the Fire Seed elite group.

He posted a message: ”I’m in trouble!”

Xu Zengshan: ”R7, what kind of trouble have you gotten into?”

T6: ”Bro, do you need help?”

The others also chimed in, and in an instant, over a hundred messages flooded the chat.

Ye Xiu replied, ”I unintentionally offended someone named Xu Zhiqiang, who is said to have a powerful backer.”

He had just sent the message when a private message from Xu Zengshan arrived.

Xu Zengshan: ”How did you offend Xu Zhiqiang?”

Ye Xiu: ”I was working undercover as a doctor at the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall. Jiao Fuping goaded Xu Zhiqiang into causing trouble for me, and I had no choice but to fight back and hit him.”

Xu Zengshan: ”A doctor? You know Medical Skills?”

Ye Xiu: ”Yes, not only do I know Medical Skills, but I’m quite proficient.”

Xu Zengshan: ”What’s your real name?”

Ye Xiu: ”Ye Liangchen!”

Xu Zengshan: ”I see. I’ll take care of the matter with Xu Zhiqiang for you.”

Ye Xiu: ”Thank you!”

Putting the phone away, a sly, triumphant smile played on Ye Xiu’s lips. He was going to play a much bigger game, using his medical expertise as a medium to fully infiltrate the core of the Fire Seed Company and the Long Family.

「At the Xu Family residence!」

Xu Zengshan was having tea with Long Xiaoyun, head of the Guoyang Long Family, and ’Du Long,’ Chairman of the Fire Seed Company.

”What’s the situation? How did R7 offend someone from your Xu Family?” Du Long inquired.

”That kid Xu Zhiqiang was used by Jiao Fuping.” Xu Zengshan sighed with bitter disappointment before continuing with a wry chuckle, ”However, R7 is rather interesting. He actually knows Medical Skills, and according to him, his skills are quite good.”

Du Long was surprised. ”One of our test subjects knows Medical Skills?”

”You should ask the Sang Jing branch directly,” Xu Zengshan suggested.

”Right!” Du Long immediately called the general manager of the Sang Jing branch.

「Meanwhile, in the general manager’s office of the Sang Jing branch’s underground laboratory.」

A black-clad, masked figure was pointing a gun at the back of the general manager’s head.

”Answer it!” the masked figure commanded. ”Keep your tone normal and say what I told you. If you dare to pull any tricks, I’ll kill your whole family.”

”Yes, yes, of course!” The general manager took a deep breath, answered the call, and asked with a strained smile, ”Chairman, this is Sen Tian.”

”Sen Tian, does R7 know Medical Skills?” Du Long asked.

”Yes,” Sen Tian replied. ”R7’s Medical Skills are extremely advanced. The rapid progress of our projects here at the Sang Jing branch is largely due to his significant contributions.”

”Send me R7’s file,” Du Long ordered. ”The more detailed, the better.”

”Understood!”

Sen Tian hung up the phone, his smile instantly twisting into one of terror. He said to the masked man, ”I’ve said what you told me to. Can you let my family and me go now?”

”Not so fast, heh heh!” The man in black gave a sinister laugh.

In fact, after Ye Xiu had posed as R7 from the Fire Seed Sang Jing branch the previous night, the people from Sang Jing had joined forces with Kuroki Suzu to take complete control of the branch. They had even altered R7’s file, replacing his information with Ye Liangchen’s.

Ye Xiu had certainly gone to great lengths to ensure his undercover mission would succeed.

Du Long waited for nearly half an hour before finally receiving Ye Liangchen’s file from Sen Tian. He immediately used the Xu Family’s printer to make three copies, distributing them to Xu Zengshan and Long Xiaoyun. The three men began to read at once.

”Ye Liangchen is actually a disciple of the Evil Doctor, Nangong Lie,” Xu Zengshan said in shock.

”Who is the Evil Doctor, Nangong Lie?” Du Long had never heard the name before.

Xu Zengshan explained, ”Nangong Lie is a loose cultivator from the Northern Territory. His Traveling Dragon Sword Technique allowed him to dominate the region for decades without a single defeat. Moreover, he’s an expert in the Medicine Path. It’s said his Traveling Dragon Moxibustion Technique has the power to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bone.”

”However, the man’s personality is eccentric and perverse. He studies the Medicine Path not to save people, but to kill them. He only treats patients based on his whims and rarely acts, which is why so few have heard his name.”

”Thirty years ago, the Dragon Lord sent men to search for him for several years, but he was never found due to his unpredictable movements.”

”Based on the timeline, he should be 105 years old by now. I can’t believe he actually has a disciple.”

After listening, Du Long sighed. ”What a pity this man cannot be made to serve us.”

”We can’t use Nangong Lie, but we can use his disciple,” Xu Zengshan said with a smile.

Du Long and Long Xiaoyun exchanged a glance and laughed.

The three of them continued reading Ye Liangchen’s file. As they read, Du Long exclaimed in surprise, ”Sen Tian has some nerve! He actually sent Ye Liangchen to infiltrate Jin Ye City as a student at Saint Harmony Medical College.”

”It seems Ye Liangchen didn’t expose his identity at Saint Harmony Medical College,” Xu Zengshan said with a smile.

”But if we summon him to Han Jin City, Ye Xiu and the Ghost Doctor might become suspicious of him,” Long Xiaoyun pointed out.

”What if they do? We never intended to let Ye Liangchen go back anyway,” Du Long said with a laugh.

Xu Zengshan and Long Xiaoyun laughed as well. They would never dare risk sending a treasure like Ye Liangchen back under Ye Xiu’s watchful eyes.

The three of them continued to review Ye Liangchen’s file. After finishing, they were deeply impressed. Just as Sen Tian had said, Ye Liangchen’s contributions to the Fire Seed Sang Jing branch had been enormous.

”According to the file, Ye Liangchen never underwent genetic modification. He reached the War God level through his own cultivation,” Du Long said with a chuckle. ”His personality is odd, too. After discovering the Sang Jing Fire Seed branch, he forced Sen Tian at swordpoint, demanding to join.”

”At just twenty-four, he’s cultivated to the War God level on his own and is also an expert in the Medicine Path. He’s a true genius, worthy of our careful nurturing,” Xu Zengshan said with admiration.

”A file is just a file. We still need to personally test Ye Liangchen’s strength and Medical Skills,” Long Xiaoyun said.

”I’ll make the arrangements,” Xu Zengshan replied.

***

At lunchtime, Ye Xiu received a private message from Xu Zengshan.

”R7, come here after work this afternoon.” A location was sent along with the message.

Ye Xiu laughed after reading it. Everything was proceeding as he had anticipated. Xu Zengshan was indeed interested in him, the supposed disciple of the Evil Doctor Nangong Lie.

In truth, Ye Xiu really could be considered Nangong Lie’s disciple.

Seven years ago, Ye Xiu had a chance encounter with Nangong Lie in Fiery Flame Valley. Discovering how amazing Nangong Lie’s Traveling Dragon Moxibustion Technique was, he demanded that Nangong Lie teach it to him.

Nangong Lie refused, so Ye Xiu beat him soundly, forcing him to agree. He had no choice; Ye Xiu’s methods were too vicious. Because of this, the eccentric Nangong Lie was so infuriated that after passing on the Traveling Dragon Moxibustion Technique and Traveling Dragon Sword Technique to Ye Xiu, he died of sheer anger.

Ye Xiu was likely the first person in history to have angered his master to death.
