After performing surgery on Cat, and seeing him fall into a deep sleep, Ye Qiu was finally at ease.
Since Bai Lan was overly exhausted these days, Ye Qiu couldn't bear it and forcibly sent Bai Lan to a nearby hotel to rest.
After sending off Bai Lan, worried about unexpected events, Ye Qiu returned to the hospital to take care of the comatose Cat.
"Ding ding ding..."
The phone by the bedside rang, and Ye Qiu picked it up with confusion.
"Ye Qiu?" The voice on the phone belonged to Chief Fei Ming; his tone was curious with a hint of hope.
"It's , Chief."
"It's really you!" Even through the phone, Ye Qiu could sense Fei Ming's excitent.
"Yes, I'm back." Ye Qiu felt warmth in his heart; it was nice to be cared for.
"You brat, do you know that when I heard you were swallowed by the Blue Whale, I even dispatched a naval submarine specifically to locate the Blue Whale, hoping to rescue you, but you ca out and didn't even call to report you're safe." Fei Ming said, sounding quite displeased.
Hearing that Fei Ming had deployed a military submarine for him, Ye Qiu felt both shocked and moved.
After all, even as a chief, deploying such a large vessel is not easy. It was evident that Fei Ming did a lot for him.
"Chief, the reason I didn't call back imdiately is that I went to the Zhao Family to rescue soone. The Zhao Family was forcing Bai Lan to marry the deceased Zhao Wenhua and had captured Cat. You should know about this, right?" Ye Qiu spoke truthfully.
"Ah, I know..." Fei Ming sighed deeply but didn't explain further. Being in his position, he couldn't act on personal feelings and had to consider national interests at all tis.
This matter involved the Zhao Family, and for the sake of national interest, he didn't intervene in the rescue, feeling personally guilty towards Ye Qiu.
"So, you managed to rescue them?" Fei Ming asked after thinking.
"Yes, rescued. Cat was severely injured, but he has passed the critical condition now." Ye Qiu said.
"That's good to hear. The Zhao Family didn't give you any trouble?" Fei Ming found it very strange.
After all, he had interacted with Zhao Zhiguo of the Zhao Family, known for his vengeful nature, which Fei Ming found annoying. Yet, the Zhao Family was a top-tier family that even he couldn't easily handle.
"The Zhao Family has been annihilated!" Ye Qiu's tone remained calm.
Destroying the Zhao Family, he felt no guilt at all!
"What?" Fei Ming's voice suddenly rose.
"The Zhao Family has been annihilated, and Zhao Zhiguo had his ridians shattered by . He will surely die in three days!"
Ye Qiu calmly repeated.
"..."
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the line.
Annihilated...
Ye Qiu's calm words echoed in Fei Ming's ears.
The Zhao Family, annihilated!
Zhao Zhiguo will surely die!
This sounded like a fantasy story! Even soone as experienced as Fei Ming was so shocked by the information that he couldn't speak for a while.
After all, the Zhao Family was indeed an authentic top-tier family, and even now, he didn't have the power to deal with them, let alone such a horrifying annihilation...
After a long while, Fei Ming finally reacted: "By the way, Ye Qiu, I heard the Zhao Family had a very powerful ancestor, said to have reached the King Realm. You annihilated the Zhao Family; you better watch out for his revenge."
The common people may not know about the Zhao Family's ancestor, but soone of Fei Ming's level certainly did.
Moreover, soone at the King Realm, even Fei Ming had to be cautious around.
"That ancestor has already been killed by ." Ye Qiu continued to speak calmly.
"What? The Zhao Family ancestor was killed by you!"
Hearing this, Fei Ming could no longer remain calm, his voice so loud it made the office glass tremble.
The guards outside thought sothing was happening and rushed in.
Fei Ming waved them off, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "Is it true?"
Fei Ming found it hard to believe that Ye Qiu's power had grown to such an extent in such a short ti.
He could kill a King Realm master just like that; thankfully, the Demon King Ye Qiu was his forr subordinate, not an enemy...
"Chief, I'll leave the aftermath of the Zhao Family to you." Ye Qiu suddenly said.
"Leave it all to ." Fei Ming patted his chest to assure.
The Zhao Family's true reliance was on that ancestor behind the scenes, and now that the ancestor was dead, there was nothing to fear. Helping Ye Qiu handle this would make Ye Qiu owe him a favor.
A favor from a King Realm master is extrely precious, and Fei Ming understood this better than anyone.
"I hope more personnel can be sent to control high-level forces entering Jiangnan City." Ye Qiu thought about it and added.
Having his family injured and captured, such heart-wrenching events, Ye Qiu had endured it enough this ti.
"Alright, I'll increase patrols on checkpoints with the military, and once a master enters the country, I'll send soone to stop them. If there's a master we can't handle, I'll inform you imdiately." Fei Ming's words were sincere; by now, he treated Ye Qiu as an equal.
"Thanks." Ye Qiu didn't say much more, but he rembered this favor.
...
Several days later, Cat's condition beca stable, with almost no sequelae post-surgery, thanks to Ye Qiu's stable techniques. If another surgeon had perford it, even if Cat recovered, he'd likely have significant sequelae.
"Cat, thank you."
Bai Lan said gratefully beside the bed.
"Sis, with , there's no need to be this polite." Cat, now able to talk, scratched his head awkwardly as he spoke.
Upon hearing 'Sis,' Bai Lan's pretty face imdiately turned red.
"Regardless, as long as you've recovered, otherwise, I'd always feel uneasy." Bai Lan said with a smile.
Seeing Cat's condition improving, that day, Ye Qiu and Bai Lan took Cat back to Jiangnan City.
Ye Qiu planned to have Cat continue his treatnt at Jiangnan City's hospital.
Fei Ming indeed kept his word; there were two more checkpoints on the highway back to Jiangnan City. On the surface, they appeared to check for drunk driving, but Ye Qiu knew it was Fei Ming's arrangent.
Moreover, the traffic officer in uniform was not a regular officer; at least he was a martial cultivation expert at the Transformation Period. Although they might not handle powerful masters, they could certainly determine if soone was a formidable master.
Seven days later.
In the high-level ward of Jiangnan City Hospital.
"Cat, how do you feel?"
Ye Qiu brought a box to the bedside; it contained ginseng chicken soup specially prepared by Bai Lan for Cat's nourishnt.
"King, I'm much better now; I can walk, see..." Cat spoke as he attempted to get out of bed to show Ye Qiu.
