Chapter 234 This Child Must Die Today
Shangguan Yue was half-heartedly dealing with Ge Chengye's fervent attentions when he suddenly asked about Ling Fan, causing her to pause slightly before saying, "Oh, he's here to treat my mom!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Chengye appeared somewhat surprised, his brow slightly furrowing. Shangguan Yue seemed indeed desperate, having sought help from such an unreliable source. It definitely looked hopeless, otherwise Shangguan Yue wouldn't have looked so worried.
He had thought Shangguan Yue's cold demeanor today was because she was preoccupied with Dong Ying's illness, unaware that she was simply annoyed with him.
This guy was certainly daydreaming about a beautiful scenario. His elder brother had married Li Shishi, and he didn't want to be left behind. Eventually getting Shangguan Yue and having a beautiful wife, how wonderful that would be!
That way, his elder brother wouldn't always be flaunting things in front of him, since Shangguan Yue was in no way inferior to Li Shishi in both fame and beauty.
Ling Fan was scorned by Li Shishi and immediately retorted in exasperation, "Who isn't a man here? If you've got the guts don't just talk big, let's see some action!"
Li Shishi's pretty face turned red, and she bit her lip, getting worked up, "Action it is, then. You think I'm scared of you!"
This scene was just witnessed by Ge Chengye, and he saw Ling Fan say something to Li Shishi that made her blush, appearing coy like a demure woman.
"Hiss~"
"Damn it!" Ge Chengye suddenly felt a burst of anger. What the hell was this situation?
He guessed that his elder brother, if here to see this, would explode in fury. Although this situation wasn't greatly related to him, it did involve the Ge Family's reputation, and he couldn't just turn a deaf ear!
Shangguan Yue also saw Ling Fan and Li Shishi's interaction, and then noticed Ge Chengye's expression, suddenly feeling a bit dark minded.
She thought annoyedly, "Can't these two be more mindful of their influence? Even if it's agreed to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, they don't have to get so into their roles, especially with Ge Chengye right here. Are they asking for trouble?"
"Kid, I hear you can treat illnesses, quite rare to see such a young medical expert!" Ge Chengye suddenly mocked Ling Fan, his tone filled with ridicule.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense, and Shangguan Yue felt slightly anxious. She wasn't particularly worried for Ling Fan, but more so for Ge Chengye.
This guy was no simple character in Danyang, and if Ling Fan ended up dealing with him, it was bound to attract unnecessary trouble.
She quickly tried to smooth things over, "Although Ling Fan isn't an expert, he is a martial artist, far more formidable than any expert. He's already examined my mom and he has a way to treat her!"
Ge Chengye's expression shifted slightly, unwilling to believe. How could so many renowned doctors and experts fail, but this young kid succeed?
It was bad enough that Li Shishi and Ling Fan were flirting; now even Shangguan Yue was speaking up for this guy?
Jealousy set in Ge Chengye's heart, and his face darkened immediately.
"Haha, an expert is too much to say, just a barefoot doctor at best, slightly knowledgeable about complicated diseases. How about I give you a check-up too?" Ling Fan chuckled. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
He didn't think he had provoked the man, yet here he was, treating him with disdain and impertinence. Who was he to judge?
"Haha, brother, you're quite humble. Many national doctors have failed to cure my aunt, yet you claim to have a way. You're practically a modern-day Hua Tuo or a reincarnated Bian Que!"
"It's said that true miracle doctors can diagnose by thread pulse or by observing a person's energy and complexion. I wonder what issues you can detect in me!" Ge Chengye, being a literate man, managed to insult without a single curse word.
Ling Fan glanced at Ge Chengye and, seeing his mocking expression, thought to himself, "You really want to keep this going, don't you?"
He chuckled coldly, "I see your steps are unsteady, your eyes have dark circles, and your voice is faint, all signs of excessive indulgence. Do you suffer from cold limbs and rely on medicine to keep going? I suggest you abstain for three months, and then once every three days for recovery!"
As soon as Ling Fan said this, the living room fell silent, the two women looking at each other.
Immediately afterward, Shangguan Yue couldn't resist shifting back a bit, not expecting this outwardly virtuous guy to be such a person.
Li Shishi was momentarily stunned, feeling a chill herself. Probably Ge Chengye's elder brother wasn't much better; she too had a strange expression full of disgust.
Ge Chengye's face instantly reddened, and he hadn't expected Ling Fan to guess correctly, but he would never admit it, especially in front of two beauties—that would be a slap in the face, wouldn't it?
Especially since the looks and attitudes Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue gave him a while ago were exactly like those of disdain for a rogue.
"Kid, are you looking for trouble on purpose? Don't think for a second that I can't make it so you can't leave this place!" Ge Chengye squinted and shouted coldly.
"Second Master, should I cripple this brat?" the bodyguard behind him stepped forward and menacingly glared at Ling Fan.
"Heh, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Ling Fan replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Ge Chengye waved at the bodyguard, thinking this brat was just all talk. Seeing himself getting angry, the kid immediately backed down and changed his tune.
He was curious to see how this brat would cower, what wimpy words he would use to gloss over his earlier blunder, so he wasn't in a hurry to teach him a lesson just yet.
He wanted to watch the guy admit his mistakes and beg for mercy in front of two beauties, cowering like a soft egg.
Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue were also curious and turned to look at Ling Fan, knowing him well—could this guy back down?
Under Ge Chengye's expectant gaze, Ling Fan said indifferently, "I see your forehead is darkened. I fear you might face a bloody disaster!"
Upon saying this, the living room fell silent once more.
Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue exchanged glances, both thinking, "Just as expected, we knew he wouldn't go soft!"
Ge Chengye instantly widened his eyes, almost doubting his ears, and with a sudden slam on the table, pointed at Ling Fan and yelled, "Damn it, what do you think you are? I'll give you a bloody disaster today, Black Tiger, kill him!"
Ge Chengye was furious, completely enraged.
Seeing this, Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue snapped back to reality and instantly became anxious. This was Danyang, not Binzhou, and given Ling Fan's temperament, he might well cripple Ge Chengye, and that would escalate matters significantly.
"Heh, you, with your hollowed-out body, probably can't even hold a woman, yet you dare to make bold threats against me?" Ling Fan sneered.
Then he disdainfully turned to look at his bodyguard, Black Tiger, "And you—if you don't want to end up a dead tiger, you'd better stay quiet and behave over there!"
Upon hearing this, Black Tiger roared angrily, "Damn it, you dare to insult Second Master! Today, I'll make sure you get what you deserve!"
Ge Chengye had much confidence in this subordinate; Black Tiger was a dark arena martial artist he had rescued from the black market two years ago, usually called Heizi, who had since achieved many merits for him, solving many troubles and dangers!
"Young Master Ye, stop, Black Tiger is no match for him!" Shangguan Yue suddenly became anxious and quickly spoke out to persuade him.
"Ge Chengye, if you don't want to send your subordinate to his end, you'd better stop him now. Let's end this here today!" Li Shishi also urged anxiously.
Ge Chengye was dumbfounded, his face turning the color of liver, filled with disbelief. These two women were actually saying that Black Tiger was no match for this person?
Black Tiger was a Third Grade fist master, among the martial artists, a strong cultivator of Third Grade Cultivation, and this skinny brat in front of him looked frail, probably not much stronger than himself. Were Shangguan Yue and Li Shishi insanely protecting this pretty boy?
Ge Chengye's expression turned completely grim. Yes, the two women were indeed protecting this guy, not that Black Tiger was no match, but because they knew facing his towering rage, this person was doomed.
Therefore, they were indirectly protecting this pretty boy, hoping to drive him back and save the kid's life.
"Damn it, this kid must die today!" Ge Chengye resolved in his heart.
Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue not advising would have been better; their advice, however, acted like a catalyst, completely igniting Ge Chengye's resolve to kill Ling Fan.
"Hmph, I, Black Tiger, have come through many close brushes with death, and today, I want to see who will really be sent to their end!" Black Tiger took out a set of brass knuckles, slipped them on, and with a sudden movement, lunged forward throwing a punch directly at Ling Fan's face.
Seeing that the situation was now beyond control, the two women exchanged worried looks!
