Chapter 3 Li Family Siblings

"You finally dared to show up, come with me." Li Mingze sneered continuously, signaling his bodyguards with a glance to seize the person next to him.

Upon receiving Li Mingze's indication, several bodyguards grinned menacingly and headed straight for Xia Qiu, causing several nurses to cover their mouths and gasp in shock.

"Stop."

Suddenly, an elderly voice rang out, causing the bodyguards to halt and look in the direction of the voice.

An elderly man in his sixties, wearing a white coat, quickly stepped to Xia Qiu's side. He was the director of Jiangnan Hospital and the renowned Saint of Medicine.

Li Mingzhu smiled softly and took a step forward, saying, "Dr. Bai, you are an elder, and we, the younger generation, naturally wouldn't dare to disrespect you. However, my younger brother's death is related to Dr. Xia, so I'm afraid we have offended you this time."

Having said this, Li Mingzhu ignored Director Bai completely, her voice suddenly turning cold as she commanded, "Come, take Dr. Xia away, and do not harm the esteemed elderly Dr. Bai."

Receiving Li Mingzhu's signal, the bodyguards, daring not to delay, went straight to grab the person.

Although Director Bai was reputable, facing the robust bodyguards was beyond his capability, and he was immediately blocked.

"You… you… are disregarding the law...," Director Bai furiously condemned, but he couldn't stop the fierce bodyguards.

Faced with several bodyguards, Xia Qiu, ultimately being a woman, turned pale, deeply aware that if she was taken by them, she might indeed disappear.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared next to Xia Qiu, merely gave the bodyguards a detached glance, freezing them in place.

"Hiss!"

A series of sharp intakes of breath emanated from them, their steps retreating repeatedly, and the originally sneering faces turned solemn.

Murderous aura, a very thick murderous aura!

Simultaneously, this thought arose in the minds of the bodyguards.

These were not ordinary bodyguards assigned to protect the siblings of the Li Family. Having served as military special forces and some having been on the battlefield, they were extremely sensitive to murderous intent.

They were utterly certain the person standing before them had killed people, and not just one or two; otherwise, such a thick murderous aura could not emanate from him.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stood quietly beside Xia Qiu, his expression indifferent and silent. Yet, the entire hospital was enshrouded in an eerie atmosphere, as if something was pressing on the minds of everyone, causing a dizzying feeling.

"Young Ye, why have you come out? This has nothing to do with you, go back quickly." Xia Qiu was alarmed at Ye Xuan's appearance, fearful of dragging Ye Qiu into this matter.

"No worries!" Ye Xuan spoke softly.

"Kid, who are you to interfere in the affairs of the Li Family?" Li Mingze's expression darkened, sensing something peculiar about Ye Xuan that made even his bodyguards pause.

"From where you came, to where you should return, I hope you are aware of that," Ye Xuan's voice was very calm, not showing any threat. But as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the hospital's lobby seemed to drop slightly.

"Mr. Li."

A bodyguard had approached the siblings, looked back at Ye Xuan with increasing apprehension in his eyes.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you take her?" Li Mingze reproached slightly.

"Mr. Li, listen to me. This person is extraordinary. Let's retreat for now, and I'll explain later," the bodyguard said gravely.

"What have you to fear from one man...huh?" Li Mingze refuted indignantly. Having already offended Director Bai today, wouldn't it be a loss if they retreated now?

"Brother, let's listen to Black Panther and leave first," Li Mingzhu furrowed her brows deeply, glancing at Ye Xuan in the distance and whispered to Li Mingze.

Usually, Li Mingzhu was the one advising him, and Li Mingze trusted his sister immensely. Having her say that, Li Mingze also knew something was amiss.

"Hmph, let's go."

Li Mingze spoke darkly, glaring fiercely at Ye Xuan before leaving with his bodyguards.

The Li siblings had come aggressively but departed abruptly like a faltering tiger, leaving everyone in the hospital dumbfounded, unsure why they had so easily let Xia Qiu go.

"It's all because of our Director Bai's authority. The Li siblings must also be wary of our director."

"Isn't that obvious? Remember, our Director Bai is an old schoolmate of the governor of Jiangnan, even the powerful Li Family has to respect our director."

As the Li siblings left, various doctors and nurses began to comment audibly.

"Xia Auntie, who is this...?"

Director Bai came to Xia Qiu's side, looking at Ye Xuan with surprise. Although he was over sixty years old, he was by no means a senile old man. He had seen everything clearly; if the Li siblings truly respected him, why would they send bodyguards to seize someone? Clearly, the young man's presence had something to do with their departure.

"Director Bai, this is my nephew, his name is Ye Xuan." Recollecting herself, Xia Qiu hurriedly introduced Ye Xuan to Director Bai.

"Young man, not bad at all."

Director Bai chuckled and was about to pat Ye Xuan on the shoulder, but Ye Xuan sidestepped to dodge his hand, leaving Director Bai slightly embarrassed and frozen.

"Xia Auntie, I have some things to take care of, I will come to see you later." After saying this, Ye Xuan did not glance at Director Bai and walked towards the hospital entrance.

"Young Ye, wait..."

Regrettably, before Xia Qiu could finish, Ye Xuan had already disappeared in the hospital lobby.

"Oh, Xia, your nephew is extraordinary. How come I have never heard you mention him before?" Director Bai looked at Ye Xuan's departing figure, lamenting slightly.

"He...? Ah!" Xia Qiu sighed helplessly, unsure how to explain to Director Bai. Should she say that Ye Xuan had been diagnosed with a terminal illness four years ago, yet was still alive today?

That topic, she feared, might make Director Bai regard her as insane.
