At that ti, Cao Kan had already arrived at the Kang City National dicine Association with several of his n.
Elder Chen Guo had originally planned to head back, but the incident with Cao Xingjian delayed him. He calculated that it was about ti he returned to prepare for the Elixir dicine Conference. This was a grand occasion for the entire Jingnan Prefecture, with more than thirty cities participating. Although traditional alchemy skills had been lost to ti, modern Martial Artists and practitioners of National dicine had managed to rediscover so of the ways of alchemy by studying unearthed ancient texts. The Elixir dicine Conference was held to promote the continuous developnt of these alchemy skills, with the ultimate goal of catching up to the ancient techniques and providing truly outstanding elixirs for both Martial Artists and ordinary people.
Who knew that just as he was about to leave, before he could even get into his car, soone would block his path.
"Elder Chen Guo, you're coming with ," Cao Kan said coldly.
Before Elder Chen Guo could even speak, he was shoved into a car. He was utterly speechless.
"Let's go!"
At Cao Kan's command, the vehicle sped toward Kang City Central Hospital. Along the way, Elder Chen Guo tried to speak, but no one paid him any attention. He was taken directly to Cao Xingjian's hospital room.
Elder Chen Guo's face darkened. "Cao Kun, what do you think you're doing!"
Cao Kun shot him a cold glance. "What a stupid question. I heard you turned my son into a vegetable! If you can't cure him, I'll chop off your hands!"
Elder Chen Guo was so angry he could have spat blood. "Have so sense! If it weren't for , your son would already be dead! And with this attitude, you expect
to treat him? Not a chance!"
"Is that so? I heard you have a granddaughter studying in Thunder City. Perhaps I should have soone bring her over for a visit," Cao Kun said, well-versed in human nature. He knew a man like Elder Chen Guo might not fear death, but he still had a weak spot: his granddaughter.
"It's not that I won't treat your son; I've already exhausted all my efforts," Elder Chen Guo sighed. "I was only able to save his life. There's nothing more I can do."
SLAP!
Cao Kun strode forward and struck him across the face. "Old fool, stop making excuses. Whether he can be cured or not, you will treat him! My son is Lei Ye's prized disciple. If you cure him, your future will be much brighter. If you can't, then you can just wait for your family to be annihilated."
Elder Chen Guo's expression changed dramatically. It's not that I don't want to treat him, but I'm truly incapable. This Cao Kun is completely unreasonable.
"I know soone who might be able to cure your son. His dical skills are a hundred tis greater than mine!" Elder Chen Guo said in resignation. This is truly a case of a scholar eting a bandit—reasoning is useless. I have no choice but to yield for my granddaughter's sake.
"Oh? Call him. Imdiately!" Cao Kun ordered. He had only ant to pressure Elder Chen Guo on the off chance a miracle might occur. He hadn't expected it to actually work and reveal the existence of such a Divine Doctor.
At that mont, Yang Qi was on the phone with Ye Fei.
"Little Qi, you have to help us with this. We really can't handle a Divine Doctor of that caliber. I heard he's also the President of the Jingnan Prefecture Elixir dicine Association."
It turned out that the Qifei Group had recently beco famous. The elixirs they produced were of such high quality that they surpassed those made by many pharmacists from the Elixir dicine Association. Therefore, the President of the association wanted to visit the Qifei Group for guidance. Neither Ye Fei nor Li Qingyan knew the first thing about this, so they could only rely on Yang Qi.
"Alright, I'm part of the company too. Just leave it to ," Yang Qi readily agreed. He had been relatively free lately, and besides, this was his company's business. He knew Yao Ran, the President of the Kang City Elixir dicine Association, but he didn't know the President from Jingnan Prefecture.
"Then I'll leave it in your hands!" Ye Fei said before hanging up.
Yang Qi's phone imdiately rang again. This ti, it was Elder Chen Guo, who quickly explained his predicant.
"Mr. Yang, I really didn't want to disturb you, but I've been forced into a corner!" Elder Chen Guo sounded utterly helpless.
This Cao Kun is courting death! Yang Qi seethed. Elder Chen Guo ca to Kang City to help the Qifei Group, and now he has run into this kind of trouble. This is my failure. He imdiately left ho and headed for Kang City Central Hospital.
Back in the hospital, Elder Chen Guo put down his phone. "I've made the call. He'll be here soon. Can I leave now?"
"Leave? In your dreams!" Cao Kun said coldly. "Until my son wakes up, you won't be leaving Kang City. Let
tell you, my son's life is more precious than anything. Cao Kan, take him and arrange a place for him to stay. Post guards! If he was telling the truth, we'll let him go. If he dared to lie to us, kill him on the spot!"
"Yes, Family Head! I'll see to it right away!" Cao Kan sneered and gave Elder Chen Guo a rough shove.
Elder Chen Guo was about to lose his mind. This Cao Kun was outrageously domineering and tyrannical.
Yang Qi's car arrived at the entrance of the Central Hospital. He didn't drive in, instead parking in a spot by the road. A line of cars blocking the hospital entrance caught his eye, not because they were obstructing the path, but because the car at the very front emitted a bestial aura that imdiately put him on high alert. He had already tested the experts of Kang City; the person in this car was a true master.
Looking at that car is like seeing a terrifying giant bear roaring. But that's all. It's enough to pique my interest, but not enough to intimidate .
Just then, he saw Elder Chen Guo being dragged out by a group of n, treated as if he were a prisoner.
Yang Qi frowned. Elder Chen Guo is my guest and the Vice President of the National dicine Association. Whoever dares to do this is asking for death.
"Old Chen, what's going on?" he asked as he strode forward.
Seeing Yang Qi, Elder Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Qi always gave him a sense of security and confidence.
Cao Wulin, who was also in the crowd, spotted Yang Qi and suddenly shouted, "Yang Qi! That's Yang Qi! He's the one who injured the Second Young Master and left him in a vegetative state. The Third Young Master's situation must also be his fault!"
Cao Kan's brow furrowed. "Enemies really do cross paths!" he said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the Cao Family's Martial Artists surrounded Yang Qi.
Yang Qi glanced at them with disdain. "So, you're with the Cao Family? That's right, I'm the one who injured Cao Xingjian. But as for who put him in a vegetative state, have you really not bothered to investigate?"
"Cut the crap!" Cao Kan snapped. "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not today. Get him!"
A group of n rushed toward Yang Qi. But he simply leaped into the air, landed beside Elder Chen Guo, and sent Cao Kan reeling with a single palm strike. Without a mont's hesitation, he hoisted Elder Chen Guo over his shoulder and started to leave.
First, I'll get Elder Chen Guo to safety and entrust his protection to the Lei Family. After that, I'll settle things with Cao Kun.
