Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 29 Qin Lan’s Trouble

Luo Qingli had risked her life to retrieve the Jade Pendant for him, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved. Now that he knew Jiang Tiannan was the mastermind, a murderous intent stirred within him. He had warned Jiang Tiannan, but unfortunately, the man wouldn’t listen.

Seeing his expression darken, Luo Qingli quickly said, "Chen Xiao, don’t be rash. This matter has only just calmed down. Don’t go provoking him again."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing," Chen Xiao said nonchalantly, his expression returning to normal.

Luo Qingli thought Chen Xiao had given up on confronting Jiang Tiannan. Like she was coaxing a child, she poked him on the head. "Be good now. Let’s not risk our lives against a desperado like him."

Chen Xiao grew a little uncomfortable and dodged her finger. "You should get some rest."

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Luo Baifeng and his family stormed into the hospital room, looking to hold her accountable.

The moment he entered, Luo Baifeng snapped, "Luo Qingli! Look at the mess you’ve made! The fire at the company was Jiang Tiannan’s doing. If you hadn’t offended him, would the Luo Group have suffered such devastating losses?"

A gloating expression appeared on Luo Linlin’s face. "That’s right. We’ve already reported this to the board of directors! Just get ready to step down. From now on, we’ll be in control of the Luo Group!"

The massive fire had caused the Luo Group to suffer catastrophic losses, which was a godsend for them. It was the perfect opportunity to impeach Luo Qingli and drive her out of her position. After all, while the Luo Family held the majority of shares in the Luo Group, there were other shareholders. Both these shareholders and the board members had a significant say in matters.

Luo Qingli’s face was ashen. "To get your hands on power, you really will stop at nothing!"

"You’ve caused the company so much trouble this time. Who knows what other disasters you’ll bring about? We can’t let you drag down the company!"

"Luo Qingli, just you wait for your judgment."

"Let’s see how you’re going to explain yourself to the shareholders this time..."

After delivering their threats, Luo Baifeng’s family swept out of the room.

Lying in her hospital bed, Luo Qingli dug her fingernails deep into her palms. For years, she had poured her heart and soul into the Luo Group. If she was actually impeached and forced to step down, all of her hard work would have been for nothing—a wedding dress sewn for Luo Baifeng and his family to wear. It was a fate she could not accept.

Qin Lan also understood the gravity of the situation and could only pat Luo Qingli’s arm reassuringly.

After a moment, Luo Qingli shook her head, her tone firm once more. "I’m fine. To put it bluntly, those shareholders only care about profit. As long as I can bring in more money than Luo Baifeng and his family, those vultures can forget about kicking me out!"

She had regained the calm composure of the powerful businesswoman she was. "By the way, Sister Lan, how is the proposal for the Wushuang Corporation’s bidding conference coming along?"

Qin Lan replied, "We’ve polished the proposal as much as possible. We’re just waiting for the bidding conference to begin."

Chen Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly. "Wushuang Corporation?" Isn’t that my senior martial sister’s company?

Luo Qingli nodded. "Yes. The Wushuang Corporation is holding a public tender for a major project with a profit of one billion yuan. If the Luo Group can secure this project, all our problems will be solved. With a billion-yuan project under our belt, would those people still dare to make a peep in my presence?"

"However, it won’t be easy. Every competitor for this project is a force to be reckoned with. In comparison, the Luo Group doesn’t exactly stand out..."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao said calmly, "I’ll win this bid for you. Consider it the second promise I’m fulfilling."

Luo Qingli and Qin Lan stared at him, stunned.

Luo Qingli said, "Stop joking. This isn’t as simple as you think." What kind of powerhouse was the Wushuang Corporation? Their projects were notoriously difficult to secure. Where on earth was Chen Xiao getting this confidence?

"Do I look like I’m joking?" Chen Xiao said flatly. "Just wait for my good news."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," Chen Xiao replied nonchalantly.

Luo Qingli wanted to say more, but she was afraid of hurting his pride, so she fell silent.

Outside the hospital, Chen Xiao lit a cigarette by the curb, getting ready to hail a cab.

A car suddenly pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Qin Lan’s exquisite face, hidden behind a pair of large sunglasses.

"What is it?" Chen Xiao asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Get in. Let’s talk," Qin Lan said calmly.

After a moment’s thought, Chen Xiao tossed away his cigarette butt and got in the car.

Qin Lan slammed her foot on the accelerator.

She spoke with a playful tone, "Chen Xiao, I’m very curious. How did you manage to melt that iceberg in just two days? Qingli may act all high and mighty, but I can see right through her. She’s all sharp words and a soft heart."

"How did I conquer her? Shouldn’t you know better than anyone? With my powerful abilities, of course," Chen Xiao said.

"You...! You have a filthy mouth!" Thinking of how she had passed out from sheer exhaustion at the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce, Qin Lan’s face instantly turned bright red.

"What’s on your mind?" Chen Xiao teased with a smirk. "I wasn’t talking about *that* kind of ability."

"Pervert. Stop pretending," Qin Lan snapped.

"To the dirty-minded, everything is dirty." Chen Xiao was a little speechless. How can this woman’s mind be so filthy?

Qin Lan took a deep breath, her tone laced with threat. "Since Qingli intends to have a real relationship with you, you will keep what happened between us buried deep inside and forget any other ideas you might have. Understand?"

Chen Xiao chuckled. "You’re the one who keeps bringing it up. Could it be... you can’t get my powerful performance out of your head?"

Qin Lan suppressed her rage. "In my eyes, you’re not even as good as a battery-operated toy! Don’t get any delusional ideas about me. I will never do anything to betray Qingli again!"

"Don’t be so full of yourself," Chen Xiao sneered. "If you think about it, I was the real victim here."

"I... I was drugged," Qin Lan retorted stubbornly.

Chen Xiao scoffed. "And wasn’t I trying to help you with that poison? But no, you just had to refuse."

That shut Qin Lan up. When it came down to it, she knew she was the one in the wrong. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became. Her expression darkened as she sped toward her apartment, planning to dump Chen Xiao on the curb and tell him to get lost the moment they arrived.

When they were just a few hundred meters from her home, several cars suddenly converged on them at high speed, boxing them in and blocking any path of escape.

Qin Lan’s heart plummeted. Clearly, these cars had been staked out near her home, waiting for her. The attackers must have been very familiar with her routes. Who could they be?

A middle-aged man got out of one of the cars and walked toward them with a smile on his face.

"President Qin, looks like you’ve offended someone else. These guys don’t look like friendly types," Chen Xiao remarked, looking up with interest as the scene unfolded.
