636: Chapter 636: Unspeakable Secrets!
Zhou Yu’s brows furrowed.
“Chairman Yu, you didn’t stop him when he was about to strike at just now, and now you jump out to stop , isn’t this a bit too much?”
Zhou Yu’s address for Yu Kaiping had changed.
Qi Dingjiang was a master hired by Yu Kaiping; in other words, a bodyguard.
By all accounts, Yu Kaiping should be the master and Qi Dingjiang the servant.
But Qi Dingjiang’s attitude towards Yu Kaiping was completely unrestrained, even presumptuous, and Yu Kaiping was just taking it lying down.
And now, disregarding his own life or death, he was still protecting Qi Dingjiang.
Why was that?
Yu Kaiping’s face turned ashen, offering no explanation, only muttering an apology.
At that mont, Qin Lan followed up with a question.
“Uncle, is there sothing you’re finding difficult to disclose?”
Facing Qin Lan’s inquiry, Yu Kaiping still just shook his head, not uttering a word.
Taking advantage of the mont, Qi Dingjiang had been helped up by Gongsun Lu and others.
With a commanding tone, he said.
“I need to go heal, Chairman Yu, have soone send the healing spiritual dicine to the back hall!”
Afterward, Qi Dingjiang glanced at Zhou Yu, his eyes full of chilly darkness.
Looking at that gaze, it was clear, a grudge had been ford.
“Also, throw him out.”
Yu Kaiping sighed and then looked at Zhou Yu, saying:
“Mr.
Zhou, I’m sorry, but could you please leave?”
Qin Lan got anxious.
“Uncle!!!”
“What’s actually wrong with you?”
“If you really are going to drive Zhou Yu away, then I’ll leave too.”
Having said that, she grabbed Zhou Yu’s arm, ready to storm off huffily.
At this mont, Mi Zongqiang’s eyes drooped as he glanced at Gongsun Lu.
Gongsun Lu imdiately addressed Qi Dingjiang:
“Master, she can’t leave.”
“Why the hell not?” Qin Lan snapped angrily.
Gongsun Lu sneered without a word.
Qi Dingjiang, expressionless, commanded:
“Let her stay.”
Yu Kaiping’s face turned extrely grim, anger flashing across his eyes, but he didn’t lash out.
Instead, he addressed Qin Lan.
“Lanlan, stay here.”
“Uncle, you…”
Qin Lan’s eyes filled with disbelief.
Her uncle was actually listening to an outsider and turning against her!
Qin Lan shook her head in disappointnt:
“I won’t stay.”
After speaking, she turned to leave.
However, Gongsun Lu snorted coldly.
“Trying to leave?
No chance!”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Qin Lan.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, and in an instant, his figure flashed, arriving right in front of Gongsun Lu.
Gongsun Lu was taken aback and scolded:
“Kid, what…
what do you think you’re doing?”
Smack!
Zhou Yu couldn’t be bothered with words, he simply slapped Gongsun Lu and sent him flying.
Then, he reached out and grabbed Qi Dingjiang, his fingers directly gripping his throat.
“You and your disciple are quite arrogant.”
“I wonder if you’ll still be this arrogant if I cripple you.”
Seeing this, Yu Kaiping beca frantic, his face full of pleading.
“Mr.
Zhou, I beg you to spare Elder Qi.
If you’re angry, take it out on .
I’m willing to bear it in his place, no matter the cost.”
Yu Kaiping’s action almost enraged Qin Lan to the point of explosion.
She truly couldn’t understand why Yu Kaiping, as the wealthiest man in Haizhou and a family head, had to be so humble.
Just then.
A servant from the Yu Family ca running frantically.
“Director Yu, it’s bad, the young master is having an episode again, and the situation is very critical.”
Yu Kaiping’s whole body trembled, and he imdiately panicked.
“Mr.
Zhou, I’m begging you, na your price, please, at any cost, spare Elder Qi.”
“My son’s life…
it all depends on him.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback.
“Your son?”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He’s contracted a very rare disease, and only Elder Qi can sustain his life.” Yu Kaiping almost cried out.
“Depends on him?”
Zhou Yu frowned.
“I see, so, is he using your son’s illness to threaten you?”
Qi Dingjiang said coldly:
“Don’t put it in such ugly terms.”
“If it weren’t for , your son would have died a long ti ago.”
Zhou Yu glanced at Qi Dingjiang and then asked with a frown:
“Director Yu, haven’t you consulted any other Divine Doctors?”
Yu Kaiping, with red eyes, said:
“Of course, I have.”
“I’ve sought after all the renowned Divine Doctors in Dragon Country, and apart from the three Saint Physicians, no one else can do anything.”
“So far, only Elder Qi is capable of saving my son’s life.”
Qin Lan was also shocked:
“Uncle Yu, why haven’t you ntioned this before?”
“If you had told us earlier, Zhou Yu is also skilled in dicine, and his dical skills are incredibly strong.”
“He will definitely be able to save your son.”
Yu Kaiping’s expression stiffened.
“This…”
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Zhou Yu.
The fact was, on one hand, after all these years of seeking out many well-known Divine Doctors to no avail, Zhou Yu’s youth left him feeling unsure.
On the other hand, his son’s condition was always a life-and-death situation when it struck, leaving no room for trial and error.
While Yu Kaiping hesitated, Qi Dingjiang let out a cold laugh.
“Indeed, your martial prowess is formidable, but do you think the dical profession is sothing any Tom, Dick, or Harry can practice?”
“Not to ntion, with your son’s condition already flaring up, any further delay, and not even a deity could save him.
If you dare to cripple my power, your son might as well await death.”
Qi Dingjiang, cunning and crafty, was set on using the life of Yu Kaiping’s son to preserve his own martial prowess.
Indeed, Yu Kaiping was firmly in his grasp.
“Mr.
Zhou, please, I implore you.”
“If you insist on crippling Elder Qi, then you might as well kill too.”
A glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Being a physician himself, he naturally had a deep understanding of dical practitioners.
Those who were truly proficient in dicine always possessed a special temperant, so say it’s the scent lingering from constant interaction with herbs, hence it’s referred to as a ‘dicinal fragrance’.
However, he couldn’t sense even a trace of a physician’s aura on Qi Dingjiang.
Zhou Yu was curious to see what Qi Dingjiang was playing at.
“Fine, I’ll spare your life for now, you old cur, I want to see how you cure and save people,” he said before releasing his grip.
Yu Kaiping hastily helped Qi Dingjiang to his feet.
“Elder Qi, please go check on my son,” he urged.
Qi Dingjiang snorted.
He glanced at Zhou Yu.
“Make him leave.”
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, a surge of killing intent flooding them.
“Don’t push your luck.”
“If you can truly save Director Yu’s son, I will leave on my own accord.”
“But if you can’t, then don’t bla for being ruthless.”
Anger burned within Qi Dingjiang, but he had no choice; he couldn’t push Zhou Yu too far.
Reluctantly, his deanor darkened as he moved toward the back hall.
Zhou Yu and Qin Lan followed behind.
