Chapter 7 Threatening the Doctor?

Lin Wanhao secretly looked down on Zhou Yu and believed Zhou Yu's intention of entering the Lin Family was impure, so naturally, he would try every means to stop Zhou Yu from entering the conglomerate.

Lin Chaodong, however, furrowed his brow.

"Aren't there enough of those dandies they've arranged? What's wrong with me arranging someone? If they want to target me, then let them come. Am I afraid of them?"

"Dad, now is a crucial time for the development of the conglomerate. We need to unite the shareholders…"

Despite wanting to continue persuading, Lin Wanhao was interrupted when Lin Luoluo suddenly spoke up.

"Dad, don't say anymore, let's do as Grandpa suggests."

Lin Wanhao was stunned, clearly not expecting Lin Luoluo to actually agree.

He opened his mouth but didn't say much more.

Zhou Yu was also somewhat surprised.

Had this girl changed her ways?

Lin Chaodong chuckled.

"Luoluo, it's great if you've come around. Let's have you handle the matter of Little Yu joining the company."

"Grandpa, I understand," Lin Luoluo nodded in agreement.

After the meal, Lin Luoluo drove Zhou Yu out of the villa.

Just as they exited the villa's gate.

Screech!

Lin Luoluo slammed on the brakes.

"Get out."

"Huh?"

Zhou Yu was puzzled.

"Weren't we going clothes shopping?"

"There's work at the office, and I don't have the time to accompany you. You'll have to go by yourself."

Lin Luoluo tossed a credit card to Zhou Yu.

"This card doesn't require a PIN. I don't care what you buy. After you're done, wait for me outside the conglomerate. We'll go home together after work."

Zhou Yu had a look of astonishment.

He thought this girl had changed, but she was just switching tactics.

"But, I don't know the way."

"That's your problem."

"Get out."

Zhou Yu sighed and stepped out of the car.

Vroom!

Lin Luoluo floored the accelerator, and the car sped away, kicking up dust.

"Damn…"

After the dust settled, Zhou Yu couldn't see the taillights of Lin Luoluo's car anymore. He looked around.

"Hey, where do I go to find a shopping mall?"

Right then, a pink BMW raced over, stopping in front of Zhou Yu.

The window rolled down, revealing a baby-faced beauty with huge eyes like two lanterns… no, like holes, blinking away.

Huh?

This girl is adorable!

The girl had an urgent look on her face.

"Are you Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu didn't expect the girl to actually know him.

"I am. Who are you?"

"Great. Get in the car, we'll talk there," the girl said urgently.

Seeing her urgency, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate and directly got into the car.

What could a girl do to him, after all?

Once inside, the girl slammed the gas pedal, pulled the handbrake, and executed a U-turn on the spot.

Damn!

Cool!

Awe flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.

On the road, the girl said, "My name is Li Shuangshuang. My grandfather is Li De'an; you should know him."

"Li De'an?"

Zhou Yu was startled.

"I know him."

"My grandpa said he had previously agreed to discuss medicine with you, and he planned to visit you today. But, just now, an important patient arrived."

"The patient's condition is somewhat complex, so grandpa asked me to find you for help."

So that was it.

Li De'an is a good man, he had already achieved the reputation of a Divine Doctor, but in the pursuit of medical skills, he still maintains the attitude of a scholar, and Zhou Yu holds a very high opinion of him.

"Okay."

Zhou Yu readily agreed.

Li Shuangshuang drove the car and swiftly brought Zhou Yu to Bencao Tang.

Inside the ward of Bencao Tang.

On the sickbed, a beautiful woman lay with various life-sign monitoring devices attached to her, while Li De'an was administering acupuncture.

Next to the beautiful woman, there stood a middle-aged man in a black jacket.

This middle-aged man carried an imposing air around him, around forty years old, but clearly someone accustomed to high positions of authority.

At the moment, Li De'an had a very serious expression, with beads of sweat even forming on his forehead.

The middle-aged man beside him showed a look of urgency.

"Divine Doctor Li, how is my wife doing?"

Li De'an said solemnly,

"Mr. Zhao, please be patient."

With that, Li De'an administered two more needles.

The beautiful woman on the sickbed suddenly let out a muffled moan, her face full of pain, her body trembling.

The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically.

"Divine Doctor Li, what on earth is going on? What is the situation with my wife now?"

Li De'an couldn't afford to speak at this moment, as beads of sweat on his forehead had started to stream down his cheeks.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense that something was amiss and he growled angrily,

"Li De'an, if there is any accident with my wife under your care, I will make you pay..."

Li De'an's hands began to tremble, as he both administered needles and assured,

"Mr. Zhao, I will do my utmost."

The pressure that this middle-aged man was placing on such a Divine Doctor like Li De'an to make his hands tremble spoke volumes to his influence.

Zhou Yu asked curiously,

"Who is he?"

Li Shuangshuang, with a face full of tension, whispered in reply,

"He is Zhao Heng from the Zhao Family of Yancheng in Qin State. The patient is his wife Su Yueru. The Zhao Family is one of the three major families in Yancheng, with extensive influence within the government."

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

So he was someone from the government, no wonder his presence was so formidable.

Just then.

Beep beep beep—

The heart rate monitor suddenly issued rapid alarm sounds.

Su Yueru's heart rate plummeted rapidly, dropping from 50 to 30 in the blink of an eye.

"Yueru."

Zhao Heng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he rushed forward.

"Li De'an!!!"

"Can you save my wife or not???"

Li De'an's face turned extremely pale, showing a look of helplessness.

"I..."

It was then that Li Shuangshuang quickly called out,

"Grandfather, Zhou Yu is here."

Li De'an turned his head and, as if seeing a savior, said,

"Young friend Zhou, you've finally arrived. I implore your assistance!"

Zhou Yu nodded and moved towards the sickbed.

However, Zhao Heng roared in anger.

"Li De'an, what are you doing? Who is this person?"

Li De'an hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Zhao, this young friend is a Divine Doctor, his medical skills even surpass mine, and he knows the lost ancient acupuncture technique 'Nine Turns Resurrection', which is the only hope given the current condition of the lady."

"Nonsense!!!" Zhao Heng bellowed, "Li De'an, do you think I, Zhao Heng, am an idiot?"

"This kid isn't even fully grown with smooth cheeks, and you say he's a Divine Doctor?"

"I think you've run out of options and are looking for someone to take the fall for you!!!"

"Li De'an, let me make it clear to you, if my wife comes to harm under your care, you will bury her with her."

Zhao Heng looked ferocious.

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu paused in his step.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhao Heng, a cold light flickering within.

Zhao Heng's repeated threats toward Li De'an were excessive.

"Elder Li, when the patient was brought in, what was her condition?"
