Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Proud Liao Yuxuan

Lin Qingru ran out of her home and went straight to Liao Yuxuan, where she tearfully told him about the evening’s events.

Liao Yuxuan remained calm, his voice cold, ”Qingru, don’t be agitated. This Su Yang won’t be able to jump around for much longer!”

”Ah?” Lin Qingru couldn’t help but express her surprise, ”But... But the Hou Family has already defeated the Xue Family and is very likely to become one of the Ten Great Families. With the support of the Hou Family, how can we... how can we possibly compete with them!”

”The Ten Great Families, so what?” Liao Yuxuan sneered, ”Don’t forget, my grandfather is the Family Head of the Qin Family, one of the Ten Great Families. Even if the Hou Family makes it into the Ten Great Families, they would be at the very bottom. How could they compare with my grandfather’s house? Besides, whether they can become one of the Ten Great Families still requires the consent of the other families. The Hou Family, they stand no chance!”

Lin Qingru was overjoyed, ”Right, I had forgotten about your grandfather. When is he coming to Nanluo City? Look at the state our family is in because of that Su character. When grandfather arrives, he must avenge me!”

”He will arrive tomorrow night!” Liao Yuxuan said with a smile.

”Tomorrow night?” Lin Qingru suddenly got excited, ”So soon? How grand it must be for Patriarch Qin to come personally?”

”Hehe...” Liao Yuxuan chuckled, ”The scale of this event is going to be even bigger than you imagine!”

”Really?” Lin Qingru became even more excited, ”Will many people from the Qin Family come?”

Liao Yuxuan said, ”Not only will people from the Qin Family come, but the Family Heads of the other Ten Great Families will also be there!”

”Ah?” Lin Qingru was baffled, ”Grandfather is coming to acknowledge our mom, and the Family Heads of the Ten Great Families are coming too? Is grandfather’s influence that strong?”

”That’s not it!” Liao Yuxuan shook his head, ”The Xue Family’s strength was insufficient, so they have already withdrawn from the Ten Great Families, leaving a vacant seat. The Family Heads of the other nine families are coming this time specifically to select a family to fill the vacancy left by the Xue Family.”

”Oh.” Lin Qingru suddenly realized and frowned, ”All the Family Heads of the Nine Great Families coming to Nanluo City, isn’t that giving too much face to the Hou Family? Doesn’t that give the Hou Family a great chance this time?”

”If it were only the Hou Family, there would be no need for discussion. This time, there are two other families competing with the Hou Family,” Liao Yuxuan said, ”They are the Hong Family from Zhouyuan City and the Zhao Family from Xiqiu City. These two families are no less powerful than the Hou Family and are serious contenders!”

At this point, Liao Yuxuan sneered again, ”Right, did you know? The current Family Head of the Zhao Family from Xiqiu City is my uncle, my father’s uncle!”

”Ah? There’s such a thing?” Lin Qingru was astonished, ”Why haven’t I heard you mention this before?”

”I just found out myself!” Liao Yuxuan said with a sneer, ”In the past years, our family’s situation was average, and we couldn’t compare to the Zhao Family at all. The Zhao Family didn’t even give us a second glance. However, after my grandfather’s situation came to light a couple of days ago, the Zhao Family immediately came over to connect with us. Hmph, the winds have changed, so now it’s the Zhao Family’s turn to come to us!”

Lin Qingru was even more excited and eagerly said, ”If the Zhao Family becomes one of the Ten Great Families this time, then... then our family will have close ties with two of the Ten Great Families!”

”Hehe...” Liao Yuxuan gave a smug smile.

”Right, why choose Nanluo City for the selection?” Lin Qingru wondered.

”It’s what my grandfather requested!” Liao Yuxuan laughed, ”You know, among the Ten Great Families, my grandfather is one of the more prestigious ones. He just wanted to take this opportunity to come and see us.”

”I see!” Lin Qingru’s eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, ”Grandfather really is capable, it’s just that I’m not sure if he can keep the Hou Family out of the Ten Great Families this time.”

”Don’t worry about that...” Liao Yuxuan smiled faintly, ”Although my grandfather hasn’t stated his position, I’ve already gotten the word. Many families within the Ten Great Families have begun to secretly ally to deal with the Hou Family. This time, the Hou Family definitely has no hope!”

”That’s great!” Lin Qingru said with a sneer, ”After this time, I want to see what Su Yang has left to be arrogant about. Hmph, my father says that I’m not good enough for Su Yang? I’m going to let him see who truly isn’t good enough for whom!”

”No problem!” Liao Yuxuan laughed, ”During the meeting of the Ten Great Families, some people are allowed to observe. I’ll talk to my grandfather and bring you along, so your father can witness how the Hou Family is expelled from the Ten Great Families. And how Su Yang is trampled underfoot by the Ten Great Families!”

”That would be wonderful!” Lin Qingru excitedly hugged Liao Yuxuan, ”Yuxuan, you’re so amazing. This time, I’ll let my father see with his own eyes that my choice is correct!”

...

Early the next day, Lin Dingkun personally rushed to the front door of his house to express his thanks to Su Yang.

The projects would give the city hospital a chance to rise again and even surpass all other hospitals in the city. Securing these projects was a cause for great celebration at the city hospital, which was decked out in festive decorations.

Yet, before the projects even started, they were snatched away by the Third Hospital. After the Third Hospital took the projects, the entire city hospital was filled with lamentations, and everyone was close to breaking down. Some were almost in despair, and Lin Dingkun faced infinite pressure.

But amidst such a crisis, the situation took a miraculous turn. The projects miraculously returned to the city hospital. The feeling of regaining what was lost was unimaginable, and everyone at the city hospital was thrilled beyond words.

Lin Dingkun, of course, knew who played a leading role in these matters, so his gratitude towards Su Yang was immense.

Su Yang was quite satisfied with Lin Dingkun; the man was very shrewd. Now both Su Ping and Zhao Xuefen were working at the city hospital, doing easy work for a good salary.

What mattered most was the high social status. Zhao Xuefen had become a person of great significance in her former village. She enjoyed visiting the village, and was always surrounded by people eager to hear about her life working at the hospital and living in a villa, satisfying her vanity to a great extent.

In the past, Su Yang only cared about Su Ping’s feelings. However, after last night’s events, Su Yang suddenly realized that something like city hospital wasn’t crucial for Su Ping, who was not an ordinary person. His marriage to Zhao Xuefen might just be a way to conceal his identity.

”By the way, Master Su,” Lin Dingkun said excitedly, ”I received news that Fang Jianhong is finished. He’s suspected of serious bribery, and even Wang Fangcun, the director of the Third Hospital, has fallen into misfortune this time. These two bastards didn’t hold back against us the other day, and now they’ve met with the consequences of their own actions!”

Su Yang smiled. After the collapse of the Xue Family, the Hou Family would start settling scores. Without the Xue Family’s backing, people like Fang Jianhong were merely jumping beans and certainly wouldn’t be taken seriously by the Hou Family.
