Last night, right after finishing an operation, Liu Yunman received news that Gao Mingyang had been sent to the hospital. She inquired about it and found out what had happened at Night Beauty.

At that moment, Liu Yunman was shocked. She was surprised by how quickly Gao Mingyang took action but even more so by Xia Tian's strength. She never would have imagined that Xia Tian dared to directly destroy Night Beauty and send Gao Mingyang to the hospital, predicting his death within three days.

These words might not be believed when heard from others, but Liu Yunman believed them. As a divine doctor, it was absolutely possible to kill someone without leaving any trace. Later, when an expert team was formed to study Gao Mingyang's condition, as part of the team, Liu Yunman became even more certain that Xia Tian had done this.

Liu Yunman realized she had underestimated Xia Tian, not just his abilities but also his methods. When he acted, it was with deadly precision. Calling him ruthless would be an understatement.

Still, despite this, Liu Yunman didn't think much of Xia Tian's chances. No matter how strong Xia Tian was, he was still just one person. The power behind Gao Mingyang was immense; two fists can't fight against four hands, let alone facing thousands or even tens of thousands.

Liu Yunman had been keeping track of Xia Tian's situation and upon learning that he had been released, she immediately called him. Unfortunately, she couldn't get through to him, but as soon as the call went through, she rushed over to the flower shop wanting to take Xia Tian back home to treat her family members.

She just wanted Xia Tian to cure all of her relatives' illnesses as quickly as possible and didn't intend to interfere in his feud with the Gao family. She lacked the ability to do so, selfish though she knew it was for her family's sake, she had no choice but to be self-centered. Once everyone was cured, she would feel at ease. If anything happened to Xia Tian by then, she wouldn't recover either and could only accompany him in death.

However, Liu Yunman had her own thoughts while Xia Tian had his. He wasn't foolish; Gao Renxuan's immediate release after being left half-dead indicated a hidden agenda. Although he was unafraid, if he were to leave, Sun Xinxin might get kidnapped again, something he couldn't accept. Having already felt humiliated once when she got kidnapped, he wouldn't allow it to happen again, so he had to keep her by his side until the matter was resolved.

"Why don't you bring your girlfriend to my place" Liu Yunman finally thought of this solution.

"I need to ask Aunt Xing." Xia Tian had no objections.

"Let me go and talk to her." After getting off the car, Liu Yunman walked into the flower shop.

The matter proceeded quite smoothly, and Sun Xinxin quickly agreed. Since business was not busy at the moment and there was Wang Jie to help for free, it didn't matter if Xia Tian left as well.

Liu Yunman finally heaved a sigh of relief. Moments later, the silver Elantra drove out of Jianghai University with three people inside.

"What a blessing! Big Brother is truly the big brother!" Wang Jie was envious once again.

On one side, Xia Tian left with Liu Yunman. On the other hand, Qiao Xiaoqiao received another visitor at the Qiao building.

To be precise, this person wasn't really a customer either, as he was none other than Qiao Xiaoqiao's second uncle, Qiao ZhenGuo.

The Qiaos were undoubtedly wealthy. However, for an influential family, just being rich was clearly not enough; otherwise, the Qiao Family wouldn’t be able to become the number one clan in Jianghai City merely due to their wealth alone.

If Qiao Xiaoqiao is the representative of the Qiao family in business circles, then Qiao ZhenGuo is undoubtedly the representative of the Qiao family in political circles. As the provincial capital, Jianghai City is where Qiao ZhenGuo serves as a vice-governor of Pinghai Province. Although there are others from the Qiao family involved in politics, none hold higher positions than him. Moreover, at only 45 years old, Qiao ZhenGuo still has great potential for advancement.

Ever since two and a half years ago when Mr. Qiao passed away, Qiao ZhenGuo has essentially become the head of the Qiao family's affairs. The reason I say "essentially" is because there’s one person in the entire Qiao family who doesn’t follow his orders: that person being Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Qiao ZhenGuo didn't have many ways to deal with this niece, as he knew she not only controlled a large portion of the family's wealth but also continuously generated more for it. Her status was irreplaceable. Even though he found her defiance annoying, every time they met, he maintained his amiable demeanor.

But now, Qiao ZhenGuo’s face had turned rather grim because Qiao Xiaoqiao was audaciously demanding him to beg for something from her!

When Qiao Donghai called to tell him about this, he almost smashed the phone. This little brat was acting outrageous, daring to make a vice-governor like himself plead to her

After weighing his options, however, he ultimately decided to personally come to the Qiao Building.

"Xiaoqiao, Donghai said you can persuade Xia Tian to treat Gao Mingyang" Quickly dispelling the dark clouds on his face, Qiao ZhenGuo put on a friendly expression as if always when meeting with Qiao Xiaoqiao before.

"Uncle Er," Qiao Xiaoqiao responded coolly, "I only said it was possible. Of course, if I can’t even convince my husband, you might as well inform the mayor Gao that he should prepare for his son's funeral."

"Xiaoqiao, let’s be straightforward between us family members. Tell me what you want from your Uncle Er in order to agree to do this" Qiao ZhenGuo remained smiling.

"Uncle Er, haven't I told you Let that Mayor Gao come to me."

A flicker of anger flashed across Qiao Zhen Guo's eyes before he regained his composure: "Xiaoqiao, I've already discussed this with Mayor Gao. He also said that as long as Gao Mingyang is unharmed, he won't cause any trouble for Xia Tian. However, if you want someone to come and beg at your feet, isn't it a bit too extreme"

"Uncle Er, if you think having others beg me is inappropriate, then you can do it on their behalf," Qiao Xiaoqiao said indifferently. "Don't worry, I won't mind."

At this point, even with the best of composure, Qiao Zhen Guo could no longer hold back; his face was filled with displeasure: "Xiaoqiao, do you have to be so ruthless Even an uncle like me has come personally, what more do you want"

"Uncle Er, it's not that I want to be this ruthless. It's because you're all being too extreme! Asking for one million yuan to make my husband leave, do you think I wouldn't know about this matter" Qiao Xiaoqiao sneered. "He should have inherited most of the Qiao family property, yet you treat him like a beggar!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao stood up; her stunning face was now covered in frost: "He is someone whom even Grandpa respects greatly. Yet, you humiliate him! This not only humiliates me but also my grandpa. I don't like to fight over these things, but it doesn't mean that I'm truly afraid of you. If you don’t want the Qiao family and Gao family to mutually destroy each other, then say the word ‘beg’!"

"Xiaoqiao, don't forget, you are also a member of the Qiao family. What benefit will it bring you if the Qiao family falls" Qiao Zhen Guo stood up from his seat.

"But it won’t harm me either," Qiao Xiaoqiao said with a faint smile. "With or without the Qiao family, I’m still myself—Qiao Xiaoqiao. But for you, once the Qiao family is gone, you'll be left with nothing!"

“Do you think Gao Renxuan will let you go” Qiao Zhen Guo laughed bitterly in rage. “The Gao family wants to cause trouble for the Qiao family because of your relationship with Xia Tian; they’ll target you first!”

"My husband will naturally protect me," Qiao Xiaoqiao appeared confident. "Of course, Uncle Er can also take a gamble; maybe Gao Renxuan will only come after me for trouble after his son’s death, considering this matter has nothing to do with you."

Qiao Zengguo had a grim expression. He did think about it, but Summer and Qiao Xiaoqiao’s relationship hadn’t been made public yet. Even if Gao Renxuan knew about it, he wouldn’t necessarily blame the Qiaos for this matter. However, the problem was that he didn’t dare to take the risk. Gao Renxuan was a very suspicious person who had a strong desire for revenge; if Gao Renxuan thought that what happened was actually orchestrated by the Qiao family through Summer against his son, then it would be serious.

Moreover, he hoped to use this opportunity to forge an alliance with the Gao family. In this way, he could have better development in politics because he knew clearly that the Gao family had a strong backing in Beijing.

"Alright, Xiaoqiao, Uncle Er is asking you today!" Qiao Zengguo suddenly smiled. "My little niece, are you satisfied now"

"Satisfied, very satisfied," Qiao Xiaoqiao faintly smiled. "Uncle Er, you can leave now and please pass the message to that mayor Gao: As long as he doesn’t cause trouble, his son’s life will be safe."

"Xiaoqiao, I underestimated you before," just before stepping out of the room, Qiao Zengguo said faintly.

"Uncle Er, don’t forget, I’m a genius girl," Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled.

Qiao Zengguo walked out of the room and his expression instantly turned as cold as ice.

In Xinxin Flower Shop, Wang Jie was sulking to himself: "My big brother hooked two girls at once while I can’t even see a girl’s shadow. Why am I so unlucky"

"You don't know this" Fang Xiaoru pouted. "You must have mistaken someone as your big brother!"

"Ah, Fang Xiaoru, despite our familiarity, please don’t sow discord!" Wang Jie said unhappily.

“Then tell me, what benefits have you received after acknowledging this big brother” Fang Xiaoru sniffed. "There’s nothing much, right You’ve just been Summer’s labor for a few days."

"You don’t understand! This is my big brother testing me," Wang Jie rebutted不服氣ly. "When martial artists take on apprentices, they usually put them through some trials, correct"

“You’re beyond help!” Fang Xiaoru said with annoyance.

They were still trading words when suddenly a mobile phone rang: “Honey, someone is calling... Honey, someone is calling..."

"Eh That must be my big brother’s phone," Wang Jie realized immediately. "Oh no! My big brother went to flirt with girls and forgot his phone."

“Who's making the call” Fang Xiaoru was curious and looked over, only seeing two characters on the screen: “Wife.”

Wifeng hurriedly said.Without needing a reminder, Xia Tian had already stuffed both her and Ma Ting into the car. Afterward, he got into the car himself. Leng Bingbing started the engine as quickly as pos...
