Chapter 1390: Chapter 1391 National dical Research Conference
“Boss, there should have been five assassins, all dealt with.”
The phone rang, and Xiao Chen glanced down at it.
He then stepped toward the truck driver.
Pulled him out of the truck.
“Who sent you?”
The truck driver was lucky to be alive, only lightly injured. It was clear he often did these kinds of jobs—his protective asures were thorough.
“Heh, don’t even think about finding out.”
The truck driver looked at the assassins lying dead on the ground. Black blood dripped from his mouth—he was dead.
Xiao Chen sighed. “If you don’t want to talk, then fine. I never said I had to kill you. As for who sent you, do you really think I won’t figure it out sooner or later?”
The sound of police sirens filled the air.
Xiao Chen chuckled bitterly. As expected of Jijing—the public awareness here was top-notch.
He sighed before dialing Zhuang Han.
He asked for Yama Hall to co and handle the situation.
It was best if the police didn’t discover his identity. That was what he wanted to avoid as much as possible.
As for Yama Hall mbers, it didn’t matter. They were a group of heroes living in the shadows, rarely showing themselves.
Even Yue Shengnan—her family probably didn’t even know she was Lady Yama.
Shortly after, Yue Shengnan arrived with her team.
She glanced at the scene and imdiately understood what had happened.
“Everything okay?”
Yue Shengnan asked.
“I thought you’d forgotten who I am by now.”
Xiao Chen smiled. “Soone’s targeting my mother. These assassins were cunning, but their skills weren’t impressive.”
“Not impressive? I’d say each one of them had the power level of a Great Grandmaster. If it were anyone else and not you, they might’ve succeeded.”
Yue Shengnan frowned. “Are you seriously not planning to tell who’s targeting your mom? Her life is on the line.”
“Honestly, I truly don’t know. I’ve suspected a few people, but it seems unlikely to be any of them.”
Xiao Chen shook his head. “Whoever’s pulling the strings—I leave it to you, Lady Yama. Can you find out?”
“I’ll do my best. But you have a knack for making enemies, the kind even I might not be able to handle. One wrong move, and you could be done for.”
Yue Shengnan wasn’t sugarcoating it.
Xiao Chen wasn’t lying either.
He didn’t have complete control over Jijing or the Capital City yet. Many things were still beyond his imdiate grasp.
If his opponent was cunning enough, then uncovering their identity would be even more difficult.
Looks like he’d have to play it rough.
If he wasn’t ruthless, who knew when Jijing—or worse, the Capital City—might turn into his grave.
Even the strongest man is still just flesh and blood.
“Alright, you guys head ho. We’ll handle the rest.”
Yue Shengnan glanced at Shang Qingcheng in the car. “Your mom having a son like you—I don’t know if that’s a blessing or a curse… sigh.”
Xiao Chen sighed as well.
Indeed, he had made far too many enemies in the past, putting his family’s safety in serious jeopardy.
But he wouldn’t compromise.
What he wanted was to make the entire Dragon Country as secure as Linhai, allowing his family and friends to live in safety.
Make those criminals have nowhere to escape.
When he returned ho, he was surprised to see Shang Luoying and Shang Mingde there.
Shang Qingyu and Zhang Luo had also co.
Probably because they’d heard what happened.
Now this—this felt like family, even if there might still be so pretense. But it was much better than the hostility of the past.
“It must’ve been the Shang Clan Leader behind this.”
Shang Qingyu said through clenched teeth.
“Don’t just say things without evidence. Accusing the Shang Clan Leader will only cause us bigger problems.”
Shang Luoying shook her head.
“But who else hates Qingcheng this much to want her dead? And ordinary people wouldn’t have the ability either.”
Shang Qingyu fud.
“Whoever’s responsible—I’ll find out the truth. In this world, no one who touches my family can live peacefully.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes glead with cold light. “Grandma, Second Aunt, please stay with my mom for now. She’s probably shaken.”
“I’m going to investigate the mastermind.”
“Chen’er!”
Shang Qingcheng suddenly spoke. “Thank you!”
Xiao Chen paused for a mont, then said, “Mom, I’m your son. Do you really need to say thank you?”
“But you’ve suffered so much for . And they call you a bastard child.”
Shang Qingcheng felt she hadn’t been able to protect Xiao Chen and felt deeply guilty.
“Mom, whether I’m called a bastard or adopted, you’re still my mom. That will never change. Please, don’t overthink it. Just rest well.”
Xiao Chen smiled.
He knew what Shang Qingcheng was worrying about.
Drag Xiao Chen into conflict with the Shang Clan—such an intimidating enemy—Shang Qingcheng must feel guilty.
But she’d be wrong. Xiao Chen didn’t find the Shang Clan terrifying at all. In fact, he was eagerly looking for ways to deal with them.
“Honestly, I hope it’s them. Otherwise, it’d be disappointing.”
Xiao Chen gazed at the moonlight outside, then pulled out a secure phone and called Leng Yue and King Taishan. “Find the mastermind for within the shortest possible ti.”
The next day, Shang Qingcheng planned to head out for a business eting.
Xiao Chen insisted on tagging along.
Partly to see if he could help his mother, and partly because the mastermind hadn’t been uncovered yet.
He had to be cautious.
Only by staying with Shang Qingcheng could she be safer.
He’d already ford a few hypotheses. The mastermind didn’t seem to be an enemy of his directly. Otherwise, they could’ve targeted Jiang ng, Xiao Enze, or even Xiao Ye.
Why single out Shang Qingcheng?
Either it was tied to the Shang Clan.
Or it had sothing to do with Dashang Group—soone seeking revenge over business matters.
And perhaps… there might be hidden truths still unknown.
The specifics would depend on the investigation results from Leng Yue and King Taishan.
“Alright, it’s good you’re coming along. But listen more, observe more, and speak less. This is a dical symposium hosted by Capital dical Group.
The focus is on our National Physicians.
Capital dical Group plans to build twelve specialized National dical Hospitals and research institutes across the Capital City.
If Dashang Group secures these projects, the future business prospects will be endless.
Moreover, it’ll establish leadership in dical construction.”
Shang Qingcheng was visibly excited.
These days, she had gradually adapted to the role of Dashang Group’s president.
Since she had chosen to do this, she wanted to excel—no room for mistakes or missteps.
Xiao Chen smiled. Capital dical Group, huh?
What a coincidence.
Could it be that Yue Chenshuang, after hearing Xiao Chen’s remarks, had truly decided to roll up her sleeves and get things done?
She seed quite ambitious.
Xiao Chen felt genuinely pleased that he had saved Yao Bingyue.
The National Physicians symposium naturally centered on Chinese dicine, given that it discussed traditional dical hospitals. Western dicine clearly wouldn’t be in attendance.
“I heard all three National dical Saints will likely attend.”
Shang Qingcheng suddenly remarked.
“Yao Ce sure has clout.”
Xiao Chen chuckled.
“It’s not about Yao Ce having clout—the traditional dicine sector is too lucrative. Once fully developed, the profits within are enormous. Even the Shang Clan is interested.
That’s why Shang Bianque agreed to attend the symposium.”
Shang Qingcheng replied.
