Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 168 Giving You Back Your Freedom

Sweat streamed down his face. Dragon Soul is a special organization in the Divine Land! In terms of status, it ranks even above the Jinyi Bureau. After all, the missions Dragon Soul executes are usually far more arduous, and they’re always major operations for the country and its people. Every year, many Dragon Soul members die as martyrs during their missions. For the last century, Dragon Soul’s status in the Divine Land has far surpassed all other departments. Even the higher-ups wouldn’t dare express the slightest dissatisfaction with this special organization. And the Chief Instructor of Dragon Soul... she’s the second or third in command! An absolute core figure! Even my own superior, Situ Qingfeng, has to weigh his words carefully before such a person, let alone a mere branch Bureau Chief like me!

"Now, can you take your men and get lost?" Leng Baiyu said coldly.

Ling Chong took a deep breath. "Chief Instructor! Although you are a high-ranking member of Dragon Soul, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of my Jinyi Bureau. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to interfere?"

"These two are fugitives!" he declared.

"Fugitives? What crimes have they committed? What have they done wrong?" A formidable aura erupted from Leng Baiyu. "On the contrary, the Jinyi Bureau acts tyrannically, arresting people indiscriminately and abusing its power! I’d like to ask you, are your actions truly lawful?

"If you find evidence of their crimes, I, Leng Baiyu, will personally arrest them and bring them to justice! But if your Jinyi Bureau can’t find any, then what?

"Forcibly breaking into my residence to arrest people... Don’t tell me you plan to kill me as well?"

Leng Baiyu’s aggressive questioning made cold sweat break out on Ling Chong’s forehead.

He gritted his teeth. "Chief Instructor! The victim in this case was my nephew. I must find the real killer as soon as possible! I hope Chief Instructor Leng will do me the favor of letting us take them back to complete our mission!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Baiyu laughed. "Your nephew died, so you’re trying to pin this mess on my Junior Brother? Do you really think I, Leng Baiyu, am so easily bullied? Scram!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With a single cold shout, a thunderous shockwave rolled out. The hundreds of Jinyi Bureau members felt a piercing pain in their eardrums, as if a violent gale had swept over them. Ling Chong, standing at the center, was blasted by the force. He stumbled back seven or eight steps before steadying himself, only to cough up a mouthful of dark blood!

The Jinyi Bureau members all looked on in horror. The terrifying power Leng Baiyu had just displayed made their hearts tremble.

As a Bureau Chief of the Jinyi Bureau, Ling Chong was only a single step from the Grandmaster Peak realm. He was considered a top-tier expert, yet he couldn’t withstand the power of a single shout from Leng Baiyu.

The difference in their strength was immediately obvious.

Ling Chong’s face turned ashen, his cheeks burning with humiliation. He had lost all face completely. However, he also knew it was utterly impossible to take anyone from Leng Baiyu today.

"Since Chief Instructor Leng is so protective of these two, I will not press the issue further! However, they are both suspects, and our Jinyi Bureau will investigate this matter to the end!" he declared. "If I obtain evidence, I will pay another visit!

"Let’s go!"

He had arrived quickly and he left just as fast, briskly ordering the Jinyi Bureau agents to depart.

Ling Zhenghao’s killer still hasn’t been found, and Qin Lan certainly has a motive. No matter what, I can’t let this go easily. The Ling Family’s Direct Lineage isn’t large. Although Ling Zhenghao wasn’t my son, he was the family’s eldest grandson. With the Ling family’s prestige at its peak, what face would we have left if we can’t even find his killer? More importantly... we want to use this incident to make a move on the Qin Family. If we can confirm Qin Lan is the killer, I can use this as an excuse to attack the Qin Family and take a piece of them for ourselves! That is my true goal.

「Inside Lingxiao Palace」

Leng Baiyu brought the two of them in. Her expression softened slightly as she said to Qin Lan, "You should lay low here for a while. This is my residence. As bold as the Jinyi Bureau might be, they won’t dare to storm this place and cause trouble again."

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Qin Lan said, immensely grateful.

Chen Xiao asked, "Senior Sister, how can we quickly find out who the killer is?"

"For that," Leng Baiyu replied, "you’ll have to ask your Second Senior Sister.

"The Hundred Flowers Pavilion she founded has one of the best intelligence systems in the entire Divine Land. Sometimes, even Dragon Soul has to ask for her help when we can’t find certain information."

"The Hundred Flowers Pavilion?" Qin Lan was stunned. "That’s one of the top underground forces in the Divine Land these past few years! I’ve heard the Pavilion is filled with stunningly beautiful women, each with unique skills, and their intelligence network covers every field imaginable.

"The Hundred Flowers Pavilion... was actually founded by your Second Senior Sister?"

"I’ve never heard of it before," Chen Xiao shrugged.

"You should contact her yourself," Leng Baiyu said, stretching lazily.

"Alright," Chen Xiao nodded. He then turned to Qin Lan. "You lay low here for now. I’ll get this investigated quickly and clear your name."

Qin Lan sneered. "I don’t care about clearing my name, I just don’t want to be harassed by those mad dogs from the Ling Family. More importantly... I feel like they’re targeting me specifically, and I want to know who ’they’ are! If I can find out who’s behind this, I don’t mind sitting back and watching the dogs bite each other."

Chen Xiao nodded. "I’m heading back."

After leaving Lingxiao Palace, Chen Xiao returned to the villa Li Xinghu had given him. Just as he arrived, he saw a familiar car parked at the gate.

It was Luo Qingli’s car.

He could vaguely make out a slender, graceful figure sitting inside.

Just then, the car window slowly rolled down.

"Get in," came Luo Qingli’s clear, slightly hoarse voice.

Puzzled, Chen Xiao still got into the car obediently.

Luo Qingli floored the gas pedal, and the car sped away.

"Where are we going?" Chen Xiao asked.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau. For a divorce," Luo Qingli stated calmly.

Chen Xiao’s eyelid twitched. Although I was prepared for this, now that the moment is here, I feel an inexplicable lump in my throat.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh. "In such a hurry? Have you been waiting for me at my gate since noon?"

Luo Qingli’s eyes were tinged with weariness. After a long silence, she said faintly, "I’ve been here since last night. I saw you leave. I waited, but you didn’t come back."

Last night, she had come here specifically to see if Chen Xiao would go out. In the end... she was disappointed. The moment she saw him rush out the door, her heart had begun to ache.

I was still holding on to a sliver of hope... Turns out, I was just deluding myself. Since that’s the case, I’ll set you free.

She took a deep breath, a faint smile playing on her lips as she asked, "So, how was your night with Zhang Yaqing? Was it wonderful?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Xiao’s heart ached as well. But he hadn’t gone to see Zhang Yaqing at all last night.
