Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 180: Zhonghai Shaken! Central Institute Shaken!

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Zhonghai Shaken! Central Institute Shaken!

Ling Liao’s face was deathly pale. Shivering, he couldn’t utter a single word. He could tell that Chen Xiao had come with murderous intent today!

Even the three Tributors were dead. What could he possibly do?

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "Spare me! Young Hero, spare me! If you’re willing to let me go, I’ll pay for my life! I’ll give you one hundred million... no, five hundred million!"

"And I promise, I will never trouble you again."

"Too late," Chen Xiao’s voice was ice-cold. "When you were trying to have us killed, when you dug up Qin Lan’s parents’ graves, did you ever consider this would be your end?"

Ling Liao’s lips trembled, his face ashen with despair.

RUMBLE— Suddenly, a convoy of vehicles roared into the area like a pack of savage beasts. The air was thick with murderous intent; it was an immense display of force!

"The Jinyi Bureau!"

"Second Master Ling is back!"

The men from the Jinyi Bureau had returned for the kill.

Ling Chong led the charge, dressed in his Bureau Chief’s uniform, striding forward with the gait of a dragon and the bearing of a tiger.

"Chen Xiao, even though you are Chief Instructor Leng’s junior brother, today you have indiscriminately massacred my Ling Family, slaughtering the innocent. Your crimes are unforgivable! You must be punished by death!"

"Today, I will bring you to justice."

Then, hundreds of dark gun barrels aimed squarely at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao scoffed. "When you abused your power for personal gain and allowed the Ling Family to commit atrocities, why didn’t you kill yourself first? Scum like you, holding a high position only to abuse your authority—you’re the one who deserves to die most!"

"Fire!" Ling Chong commanded, his expression indifferent.

The sound of countless rounds being chambered rang out, followed by a storm of bullets whistling toward Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao immediately grabbed Ling Liao and used him as a human shield.

A scream erupted as Ling Liao was instantly riddled with holes like a honeycomb, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Seeing his elder brother’s gruesome death, Ling Chong’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets with rage. He wanted nothing more than to flay Chen Xiao alive and grind his bones to dust.

But he was well aware of the situation. The three Tributors were dead. Since Chen Yishan, who was no weaker than him, had been among them, he knew he would likely also die if he fought Chen Xiao head-on. His only choice was to rely on the power of the Jinyi Bureau.

Chen Xiao’s blade sliced through the air, clashing against the incoming bullets and precisely deflecting every single one. What was most terrifying was that even when a bullet struck his body, it only left a faint mark. It tore through his clothes but failed to pierce his flesh.

This scene made Ling Chong’s eyelids twitch violently. "Indestructible Golden Body? How is that possible? How could you have reached such a realm at your age? Are you a Great Grandmaster?!"

Even a Grandmaster couldn’t block such a dense hail of bullets. Only a Great Grandmaster could achieve this!

"It’s just an ordinary Golden Bell Shield," Chen Xiao stated flatly.

However, he had activated the True Qi cultivated within his body. This formed a protective shield several times stronger than one created by Inner Strength. Firearms could not breach his defense. Only a warrior at the Great Grandmaster level could possibly harm him now.

He advanced with his blade, every step radiating killing intent.

Ling Chong felt the hairs on his body stand on end. Although his own strength was formidable, he was so intimidated by Chen Xiao’s terrifying combat power that he couldn’t muster even a hint of a will to fight.

Chen Xiao strode forward like a death-dealing war god, closing to within three meters.

Ling Chong could only brace himself and reluctantly draw his sword...

"Your swordplay is less than half as good as that old man’s..."

As the indifferent voice fell, Ling Chong felt a chill on his neck. His head soared high into the air.

Silence.

A deathly silence descended.

Everyone felt as if they could barely breathe.

Ling Chong, the Bureau Chief of the Jinyi Bureau in Zhonghai, a terrifyingly powerful figure!

He was dead? Just like that?

It felt like the sky was falling.

The members of the Jinyi Bureau were all trembling uncontrollably. Their Bureau Chief was dead!

"GET OUT—!"

The roar was like a clap of thunder, striking such fear into the hearts of the hundreds of Jinyi Bureau members that they nearly died of fright. They threw down their armor and fled in a panicked scramble.

The guests who had come to offer condolences also swarmed out like a flood.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Ling Family estate was deserted.

Chen Xiao walked over to Qin Lan and untied her.

Qin Lan immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Silly girl, why didn’t you tell me something was wrong?" Chen Xiao’s eyes were filled with heartache. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I... I didn’t want to drag you into this," Qin Lan’s voice was still choked with tears. "They used my parents’ ashes to threaten me. I... I had no choice but to compromise."

Hearing this, the ache in Chen Xiao’s heart intensified.

He knew how difficult Qin Lan’s life had been. Her parents had died young, forcing her to flee her home. Even after escaping the vortex of power politics, she was still hunted by assassins sent by the Qin Family. Later, she chose to return to the family alone, only to face lethal danger at every turn. Despite such hardship, she still didn’t want to burden him or get him involved.

"From now on, as long as I’m alive, no one will ever bully you," Chen Xiao said, taking a deep breath.

Qin Lan stared blankly at the young man before her, a current of warmth spreading through her heart...

The moment the Ling Family fell and Ling Chong was slain, all of Zhonghai was shaken to its core.

Ling Chong, the Bureau Chief of the Jinyi Bureau, had been killed!

The Ling Family was annihilated!

And the one to accomplish all this was a young man in his early twenties...

These two pieces of news were explosive for Zhonghai, spreading like a plague.

When Li Kani, who had been anxiously waiting for news of Chen Xiao, heard what had happened, she felt like she was in a dream.

That guy... he killed Ling Chong? He destroyed the Ling Family? The sky is truly going to fall now! After all, Ling Chong’s Jinyi Bureau is a special department of Divine Land! With this act, Chen Xiao is undeniably challenging the entirety of Divine Land!

Her heart clenched...

Li Zhenfang also sighed. "This young man is far too impulsive. What a pity! If he had been allowed to mature normally, he would have become a truly formidable figure!"

「At the same time.」

An urgent file was dispatched from the eastern division of the Jinyi Bureau, forwarded to the headquarters, and then sent directly to the Central Institute.

「In the Capital City, within the Central Institute.」

A group of elders sat bolt upright at a long table, their expressions solemn. Each of these elders could turn Divine Land upside down with a single word. A stomp of their feet could make the very earth tremble. Every one of them stood at the absolute pinnacle of power.

"The Jinyi Bureau is a special department established by Divine Land! Its authority is inviolable, and this boy’s actions... demand execution!"

"The impact of this incident is extremely negative. It sets a terrible precedent."

"Although Ling Chong’s conduct was improper, it wasn’t this rash youth’s place to take action! If everyone behaves like this, what law and order would remain? The world would descend into chaos!"

"..."

Several of the elders were trembling with rage, their words sharp and severe. But others frowned, their brows deeply furrowed. As the core figures of Divine Land, they knew secrets far beyond the understanding of others. This matter was probably not going to be so easy to handle.

Suddenly, the main doors opened, and an old man in a wheelchair was rolled in.

Upon seeing him enter, everyone at the table showed expressions of deep respect and rose to greet him.

The old man’s gaze swept over them before he spoke in a faint voice. "I’ve heard everything."

"Ling Chong abused his power for personal gain for many years and made numerous mistakes. His actions became increasingly egregious over time. He truly needed to be disciplined. Falling to this young man can only be considered fate."

"Issue the order. Announce that Ling Chong abused his authority. His position as Bureau Chief of the Jinyi Bureau has been revoked. He is being apprehended and brought back to headquarters for processing. Furthermore, anyone caught spreading other rumors will be executed!"

As the old man’s words fell, the room was plunged into a deathly silence.

"Old Qian... this... this..."

"This is simply too absurd!"

"Old Qian... you must be cautious with this decision!"

"This is already the most cautious decision," Old Qian said, slowly closing his eyes. He sighed. "That young man, he’s from the same school as Cold Girl. He’s that old madman’s disciple.

"If we were to lay a finger on him, that fiercely protective old madman would likely go berserk.

"And what’s most terrifying... is that this young man is very likely that man’s son!"
