Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 128: Chapter 128, Getting Something for Nothing?

”I didn’t know who I was, nor did I know why I was here.” A woman’s voice, carrying a hint of pain amidst loneliness, came from the coffin, ”When I woke up, I had lost all my memories and was trapped in this dark and sunless place.”

”I really want to know about the past, but I truly cannot recall.”

Xu Wendong’s heart trembled sharply as he thought of a sinister technique known as the Hell Soul Refining Technique. It was evident that the woman’s soul in the coffin was likely refined by someone.

The reason she had her current consciousness and could communicate was fundamentally related to King Kong’s Human Soul, which had coexisted with her for many years, activating her awareness.

”I seem to be called Cai He, Liu Cai He.” The voice from the coffin sounded again.

Xu Wendong said, ”Stay here for a while, and when the time is right, I’ll rescue you from this place. But remember, do not kill innocents.”

Liu Cai He’s voice was filled with gratitude, ”If you can rescue me, I will repay your kindness like a beast of burden.”

”As for the matter of killing innocents, rest assured, ever since I had consciousness, I have never done anything harmful, except for binding King Kong’s Human Soul, but rest assured, it’s not a bad thing for him.”

Xu Wendong didn’t refute this point; after all, King Kong’s Human Soul hadn’t been consumed over the years and had been nourished by Liu Cai He. One could say, King Kong would live a long life.

With that, Xu Wendong left the dry well.

Seeing Xu Wendong unharmed, Jin Jianyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately wanted to kneel with his son to thank Xu Wendong for his grace, but Xu Wendong lifted them up, saying, ”Elder Jin, there’s no need for such formality between us. If you insist, I’ll have to return that six hundred million to you.”

Jin Jianyuan eventually compromised, and then the four of them took a speedboat back to the shore.

”Mister Xu, please give me a bank account, and I’ll have someone transfer the money to you right now,” Zhang Tianlong said to Xu Wendong with full respect.

Although he was a dominant figure in the Feng Shui Community of Guangdong Province, today he realized what it meant to always have someone better.

Xu Wendong directly gave his bank account to him, and in less than three minutes, a hundred million was deposited. Although he already had six hundred million, it didn’t compare to the excitement of receiving this hundred million.

Because this money was earned through his own ability!

”Mister Xu, here is a check for two hundred million.” Uncle Fu, with some reluctance, handed Xu Wendong a check.

Xu Wendong accepted it directly, then said, ”Tomorrow morning, we will go together to pay tribute to Zhao Sihai. I hope you will keep your word. If violated, be responsible for the consequences!”

Yan Shuangshuang clenched her fists, controlling the anger in her heart, ”Did you get rid of that evil spirit?”

Xu Wendong was amused, ”I have no grudge with that evil spirit, why should I get rid of her? Can you give me a reason to dispose of her?”

Yan Shuangshuang’s face turned green instantly, and she shouted, ”Xu Wendong, you and I both know that if that evil spirit is not eliminated, South City will not be safe...”

Xu Wendong looked at her incredulously, ”What’s the unrest in South City got to do with me?”

”You...” Yan Shuangshuang felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger. Her face darkened as she said, ”You’re a doctor; your duty is to save the dying and heal the wounded, saving the living beings under Heaven.”

”And now, South City is sick. You clearly have the ability to heal South City, so why stand by and do nothing? Are you going to watch as South City becomes a ghost town?”

”Don’t you know what developing South City means for the entire Qingyuan? This is Qingyuan’s last hope. If South City can be taken care of, Qingyuan might upgrade from a county to a city!”

”You wouldn’t want to become the sinner in the eyes of three million people in Qingyuan, would you?”

Jin Jianyuan, with an exaggerated expression, said loudly, ”Everyone come learn how to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others! This tactic, I admire it very much.”

The people of Jin Zhuang whispered among themselves, looking at Yan Shuangshuang with disdain in their eyes.

Xu Wendong smiled mischievously, ”You’re right, South City is indeed significant to all of Qingyuan, affecting the lives of three million people, but... it’s your Shengpeng Group that took on the South City reconstruction project. Even if someone is to solve South City’s crisis, it should be you, not me!”

”Unless you’re willing to transfer the South City reconstruction project to me.”

”Getting something for nothing?” Yan Shuangshuang’s face was filled with anger, ”Let me tell you, you’d better give up on that. Even if this project rots in our Shengpeng Group, I will not hand it over to you!”

They had invested more than three billion getting this project. Though there would be additional investment later, it would only be a few hundred million.

They could not possibly give this project to Xu Wendong.

”Remember what you said today.” Xu Wendong revealed a sinister smile, then said to Jin Jianyuan, ”Elder, that’s all for today. I’ll head back first; let’s keep in touch via phone.”

”Alright!”

Jin Jianyuan agreed readily. After seeing Xu Wendong off, he gleefully turned towards his clansmen, ”Today, my son’s illness has been cured; we must find a restaurant to celebrate!”

The people of Jin Zhuang responded enthusiastically, happy to see King Kong’s recovery.

Zhang Tianlong also said farewell to Yan Shuangshuang and left South Lake with a few surviving disciples. Before leaving, he offered Yan Shuangshuang a word of advice, ”Miss Yan, some matters are beyond ordinary people’s reach, and some people are even beyond what we common folk can afford to offend.”

”The situation at South Lake is the most difficult I’ve seen in my life. If possible, you should apologize to Mister Xu and seek his forgiveness!”

Uncle Fu asked nervously, ”Miss, what should we do?”

Yan Shuangshuang coldly glanced in the direction of Lake Heart Island, gritting her teeth, ”I refuse to believe this island is really that evil. Continue with the original plan. Once the people in the shantytowns are evacuated, proceed with the demolition overnight!”

”Alright.”

Uncle Fu also did not know what else to do, but besides this, there seemed to be no other options.

Although they knew there was an ominous entity in South Lake, they believed that as long as they didn’t delve deep into South Lake, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Little did they know, the waters of South Lake ran deeper than they imagined.

Meanwhile, Xu Wendong drove his sister-in-law’s Mercedes to an Agricultural Bank, intending to transfer the six hundred million on the card from Jin Jianyuan and the two hundred million check from Shengpeng Group into his bank account.

After all, transferring it to his bank account made it truly his money.

”I made nine hundred million in just one day? Why does it feel like I’m dreaming?” Xu Wendong felt extremely unreal, as if the money came too quickly, too easily.

”Are you Xu Wendong?” Just as Xu Wendong queued up waiting for his turn, a tall woman in a black suit approached from the front.

Seeing the girl he had written a love letter to in middle school and was rejected by, Xu Wendong was also a bit surprised, followed by a strong surge of resentment welling up inside him.
