Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 162 Threat

Jiang Tianyi managed to obtain such immense power in such a short time. Without a doubt, it was with the help of a gene potion! Yet, even with this temporary boost from an external force, this power still didn’t truly belong to him. Jiang Tianyi had no idea how to properly wield this power; he could only charge and smash wildly. Why would Chen Xiao be afraid of him? Still, to end this fight quickly, there was only one way... to use True Qi!

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, circulating the True Qi he had nurtured within his body before unleashing a fierce punch.

BANG!

A tremendous force swept out. Jiang Tianyi staggered back seven or eight steps, his entire arm blasted into a gruesome, bloody mess by Chen Xiao’s fist.

Impossible... Absolutely impossible! Jiang Tianyi’s face was a mask of disbelief. Didn’t Xing Zhanlong say my current strength was invincible below the rank of Great Grandmaster? How could this guy injure me so badly with a single punch?

At that moment, the grief and indignation in his heart completely overwhelmed the excruciating pain from his arm.

Chen Xiao moved like a thunderclap. His figure flashed before Jiang Tianyi like a specter as he unleashed another devastating punch. The terrifying force was like a destructive wave, shattering Jiang Tianyi’s meridians and all the bones in his body.

He flew backward like a kite with its string cut and crashed harshly onto the ground.

He was completely immobilized.

"Tian Yi!" Jiang Baifeng immediately rushed over, his eyes bloodshot as he helped his son up. He found that all of Jiang Tianyi’s bones were shattered and he was clinging to his last breath. Even if he could be saved, he would be no different from a dead man.

His reddened eyes, filled with murderous intent, stared at Chen Xiao. "Chen Xiao, you were so ruthless! You deserve to die! I will make you pay for this!"

"Anytime," Chen Xiao replied indifferently before turning and walking back to his spot.

A sweet taste rose in his throat and his face grew a bit pale, but he suppressed it. With his current physical condition, using True Qi would result in a backlash. However, in that situation, if he hadn’t used it, he would have been locked in a drawn-out fight with Jiang Tianyi, even if he could still win. He couldn’t be bothered to waste the time.

Seeing that something seemed off with Chen Xiao, Luo Qingli shot him a worried, questioning glance. Zhang Yaqing also cast a concerned look his way.

Chen Xiao swallowed the blood in his mouth and gave a faint smile. "It’s nothing."

With that, the matter was settled.

He looked up at Li Buyi. "City Governor Li, isn’t it time to announce the results?"

Li Buyi was still a bit stunned. He truly hadn’t expected Chen Xiao to emerge victorious among so many experts, securing the two slots for the Luo Group and the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce.

Collecting himself, he announced, "I declare that the Sail Raising Conference has come to a perfect conclusion! The two corporations that have obtained the bidding slots are the Luo Group and the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce!"

Upon hearing Li Buyi’s announcement, the expressions of Lu Rugao, Qin Cang, and Xing Zhanlong turned particularly ashen. A tightness gripped their chests. They had prepared so much for this bidding conference, even using trump cards they shouldn’t have, only for Chen Xiao to snatch it all away. It was a result that, deep down, they simply couldn’t accept.

But what could they do now that the outcome was decided?

"Let’s go!" Qin Cang gnashed his teeth and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Xing Zhanlong’s eyes were icy. He glanced at Chen Xiao, then at the seated Leng Baiyu, before he too left quietly, without so much as a word to the Jiang Family.

Jiang Baifeng, Jiang Tianquan, and the others looked deathly pale. They knew Xing Zhanlong was truly enraged this time. Given his methods, the Jiang Family was probably doomed.

And the main culprit behind it all was Chen Xiao.

Their eyes burned with venomous hatred as they looked at him, but in the end, they could only leave the venue in disgrace.

As the crowd dispersed, Li Buyi stepped forward, smiling cheerily at Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing. "Congratulations to you both for securing these slots. Mr. Chen, you are truly full of surprises! To be able to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth while surrounded by so many top experts... I’m deeply impressed!"

His perception of Chen Xiao had climbed to a new level.

"It was nothing more than a fluke," Chen Xiao replied modestly.

Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, Lu Rugao approached, accompanied by Lin Qixian and others. Her face still bore a trace of indignation. One could easily imagine that the expression beneath her veil was incredibly ugly.

"You’re Chen Xiao, correct?"

"Is there something you need?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"You secured the two slots today. You do have some skill. I admit defeat..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Chen Xiao interrupted her flatly. "I don’t want to hear this nonsense."

Lu Rugao’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger, and she ground her teeth. How can this man be so rude?

After taking a deep breath, she said coldly, "I came today to discuss a business deal." Then, she turned to Luo Qingli. "Miss Luo, may I have a word?"

"Of course. The honor is all mine," Luo Qingli replied, standing up.

Lu Rugao was a legendary figure, a titan of the Divine Land’s business world. At eighteen, she took over the Lu Corporation, one of the Five Great Families in Capital City, and rebuilt the already-declining corporation into a super business empire. Now, the Lu Corporation’s interests spanned the entire Divine Land and even held a certain reputation overseas, making it far stronger than it was just a few years ago. Since she took charge, the Lu Corporation’s standing had soared. It now ranked among the top of the Five Great Families, truly at the height of its power, and Lu Rugao’s own reputation had reached its peak.

Lu Rugao spoke calmly, "I’ve spent some time investigating in Yuncheng City recently and have gained some understanding of the current Luo Group. Its development is extremely rapid."

"It has great potential."

"Thank you for the compliment, President Lu, but my achievements are nothing compared to yours," Luo Qingli replied humbly.

Lu Rugao continued, "Furthermore, now that the Luo Group has secured shares in the new port, it will have an even greater advantage in the international market. Therefore, I want to acquire the Luo Group at a premium."

A flicker of shock appeared in Luo Qingli’s eyes.

Lu Rugao continued in an arrogant tone, "The formula for the Nourishing Facial Cream and the property rights to the new port are both extremely valuable. Many people will surely covet them. With your strength, I’m afraid... you won’t be able to hold onto them. If you are wise, Miss Luo, you should transfer them to me in exchange for a substantial sum of money. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Luo Qingli took a deep breath. "I’m sorry, Miss Lu, but I have no such intention at the moment."

Lu Wangge tilted her head back slightly, her long, slender eyes narrowing. "Are you sure?"

"The Luo Group is the lifeblood of three generations of my Luo Family," Luo Qingli stated firmly.

Lu Rugao shook her head. "You should know, I am Lu Wangge. And what I want, no one has ever dared to compete with me for. The number of corporations and conglomerates I have effortlessly crushed over the years is by no means small."
