Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

Li Kani spoke, "Qin Lan is indeed imprisoned by the Ling Family, but they’re keeping a very tight watch on her. No one on the outside knows where she’s being held. Tomorrow is Ling Zhenghao’s funeral, and the Ling Family wants Qin Lan to wear mourning attire for him. They will definitely make her appear then."

Chen Xiao’s eyes turned cold. "I’ll go to the Ling Family right now. If they don’t release her, I’ll exterminate their entire clan!"

Li Kani trembled with anger. "You don’t usually seem this foolish. Why are you being so irrational now? Qin Lan is in their hands. What if they get desperate and kill her in retaliation? Tomorrow, when Qin Lan appears, you can at least guarantee her safety and find a chance to get her out."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao fell silent for a moment. He had to admit that Li Kani had a point.

Li Kani pursed her lips. "I must advise you, the Ling Family isn’t as simple as you think. Are you sure you want to cause a scene at the funeral? Perhaps it would be better to find a suitable moment to rescue Qin Lan!"

"I can’t wait another moment," Chen Xiao responded coldly.

"Causing a scene at the Ling Family’s funeral could have unimaginable consequences. You might even lose your life. Think it over!" Seeing his stubbornness, Li Kani left in a huff.

「The next day!」

The vast Ling Family estate was draped in white mourning banners.

Countless invited guests, dressed in black, wore sorrowful expressions. Their grief might have been real or feigned, but no one dared show even a hint of levity on such an occasion. In the center of the memorial hall lay a coffin.

Qin Lan was held down by two large men, forced to kneel on the ground. Her body was covered in shocking wounds and bound by handcuffs and shackles. Humiliating white banners with phrases like "Adulteress" and "Husband Killer" were draped over her.

As the Family Head of the Ling Family, Ling Liao stood with a face full of sorrow. "Everyone, thank you for attending my son’s funeral. My son met an unfortunate demise in Yuncheng City. As a father who has outlived his son, I will not elaborate on the pain I am bearing..."

Then, his gaze turned venomous and cold as he stared at Qin Lan. "This shameless whore, Qin Lan, conspired with some mongrel to murder my son! But my son, Zheng Hao, cannot die in vain! Today, the Ling Family will make her pay a terrible price!"

His words sent an uproar through the hall.

"Adultery? No wonder the Qin Family has washed their hands of her. So she committed such a shameless act!"

"It’s no surprise her parents’ graves were exhumed by the Ling Family... If it were me, I wouldn’t just dig up her parents’ graves, I’d dig up the graves of her ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"So shameless..."

"A bitch like that deserves to be drowned in a pig cage!"

Those in the crowd who were unaware of the truth began to point fingers at Qin Lan, their words harsh and filled with disdain and disgust. To them, committing adultery and murdering her own fiancé was a crime for which even death by a thousand cuts would be too lenient.

This was the exact scene Ling Liao had wanted to see. His goal... was to nail this bitch to the pillar of shame for eternity, even in death!

"Ling Liao," Qin Lan sneered, her body trembling. "Your son’s death has nothing to do with me. Not only did you dig up my parents’ graves and threaten me into returning to Zhonghai, but now you’re trying to frame me with these disgusting accusations. I wonder, does your son know that after his death, he’s become a cuckold famous throughout all of Zhonghai?"

"You’re courting death!" Ling Liao’s face turned livid with rage. "It seems making this bitch wear mourning attire isn’t enough! Today, I, Ling Liao, will make you accompany my son in death! Furthermore, after this is done, my Ling Family will personally visit the Qin Family and demand to know how they raised their daughter to be such a shameless whore! Guards! Throw her directly into the coffin and bury her alive!"

As these words fell, everyone’s pupils constricted.

The methods of the Ling Family were ruthless indeed. They dared to offend the Qin Family so publicly, planning to bury Qin Lan alive in the coffin to accompany Ling Zhenghao in death.

However, some in the crowd understood Ling Liao’s true intentions. This was likely a move to provoke the Qin Family, and the accusations of adultery and murder were merely a pretext.

Qin Lan’s pupils quivered.

She hadn’t expected Ling Liao to not only want to humiliate her, but also make her pay for Ling Zhenghao’s life with her own!

"Ling Liao! If you dare touch me, Chen Xiao won’t let your Ling Family off! You had better think this through!"

Ling Liao scoffed. "If he dares to come today, my Ling Family will ensure he never leaves! We are waiting for him! Also, Qin Lan, aren’t you the filial one? Before you die, allow me to give you one last gift! I’ll let you watch with your own eyes as the bones of your dead parents are utterly destroyed!"

Having said that, he grabbed the urn, intending to smash it on the ground.

But before he could, a series of screams erupted from outside.

All the Ling Family guards flew into the hall like kites with broken strings.

A cold and incomparably domineering voice thundered through the hall—

"Ling Liao! If you smash that urn today, you will die without a burial ground! Your Ling Family will be exterminated! The graves of your ancestors, for eighteen generations back, will all be turned to wasteland!"

As the voice fell, a terrifying aura swept through the memorial hall. In the center of the room, Ling Zhenghao’s coffin instantly exploded like a bomb.

The entire hall fell deathly silent.

Like a god descending from the heavens, Chen Xiao appeared, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he walked step by step toward Ling Liao.
