Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 37: Take Action!

Everyone looked displeased. Since its founding, Dragon Soul had accomplished countless earth-shattering feats. Jiang Tiannan had been a notorious tyrant in Yuncheng City for years, so Liu Yitong’s action was an act of public service, ridding the people of a scourge! What did this guy mean by laughing out loud? It was utterly disrespectful!

Especially Xu Yanran, whose pretty face was flush with rage. She stepped forward and demanded, "Do you find something funny?"

After last night’s events, her admiration and worship of Liu Yitong had reached an apex. She admitted to herself that she might have been exaggerating his deeds, but for Chen Xiao to dare laugh out loud was simply wrong.

"No, nothing’s funny at all," Chen Xiao replied, quickly stifling his laughter. He had no desire to get involved with this woman. "Please continue. I’ll make sure to listen carefully."

Her exaggerated tone makes it sound like she’s ready to throw herself at the man... How terrifying. I absolutely cannot let the truth get out, or this woman will latch onto me and cause a world of trouble!

He had no idea that his restraint would only fuel Xu Yanran’s anger. "Apologize to Brother Liu immediately!" she shouted. "You can insult me, you can challenge me, but you cannot insult Brother Liu! Otherwise... I will fight you to the death!"

Everyone jumped at her outburst. It was clear she was serious.

Luo Qingli quickly stood up. "Aunt Xu, I’m sorry, he’s just..."

"Qingli, that’s enough!" Xu Yanran waved her off. "Don’t indulge his every whim. You’ll only make him more arrogant, and he’ll end up causing you even bigger problems!

"Besides, Brother Liu dealt with Jiang Tiannan and even spared his worthless life. Yet instead of being grateful, this guy is here laughing and joking about it. It’s unforgivable!"

Her tone turned icy. "You have one minute to apologize."

Seeing her escalate things, Chen Xiao’s gaze turned cold. "And if I say no?"

"Then I’ll force your head down and make you apologize to Brother Liu!" Xu Yanran sneered.

Chen Xiao scoffed. "With your pathetic skills? If you weren’t so lucky, the Jianghai Gang would have had their way with you long ago. How dare you make such bold claims? Do you really think you’re somebody special?"

"You..." An incensed Xu Yanran moved to teach Chen Xiao a lesson, but Liu Yitong extended a hand to stop her.

"Junior Sister Xu, let me handle this," he said calmly as he approached. "I don’t know who you are, but Dragon Soul is not to be insulted. Kneel, knock your head on the ground three times, and then... scram!"

Chen Xiao sneered. "Shameless."

He inwardly despised people like this. Jiang Tiannan’s death had not a damn thing to do with this guy, yet he just stood there soaking up Xu Yanran’s praise without a word of protest. What a pair. One has the gall to brag, and the other has the gall to take the credit!

"How arrogant!" The lackeys trailing Liu Yitong could no longer contain themselves. They surged forward, ready to teach Chen Xiao a lesson.

Just then, Zhang Yaoyang stood up. "Everyone, we are all people of status. It’s beneath our dignity to make a scene with a nobody like him. Allow me to handle this!" His voice was commanding.

"Since President Lu is hosting today’s banquet, we’ll have President Lu throw him out!

"I’ve already messaged General Gao of Wushuang Corporation. When he arrives, a single word from him will be enough to get this trash kicked out of a high-society gathering like ours."

Luo Qingli quickly pulled at Chen Xiao’s sleeve, her tone worried. "Chen Xiao, just apologize and leave. If you anger everyone here, no one will be able to save you..."

Dragon Soul is one of the Divine Land’s special organizations; no one dares to provoke it! If these people get serious, it wouldn’t matter if Chen Xiao fled to the ends of the earth...

"It’s none of your business," Chen Xiao said coldly.

"You...!" Luo Qingli felt wronged. "I’m trying to help you, but you just throw my kindness back in my face! Fine, fend for yourself!"

She turned away in a huff and moved to another table, her eyes red and on the verge of tears.

Seeing the goddess of his affections so upset, Zhang Yaoyang’s anger flared. He lunged forward and grabbed Chen Xiao by the collar. "Apologize to Qingli right now, or I’ll break your legs!"

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Chen Xiao retorted. "Don’t push your luck."

He slapped him across the face, knocking out two or three of his teeth.

Zhang Yaoyang’s head rang. His vision went black just before two heavy, thudding punches landed squarely on his face.

"AARGH—!" Zhang Yaoyang howled, sent flying like a sheet of paper.

Everyone was stunned. Chen Xiao actually had the audacity to start a fight here!

He nonchalantly dusted off his clothes. "I’d like to see who’s going to throw me out today."

Xu Yanran’s expression was especially grim. The Jingtian Club is our family’s property. For him to start a fight here is a direct slap in my face! But... today’s host is Lu Wushuang, and she’s his senior sister. This realization gave her pause.

Just then, a grim voice cut through the room. "Who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Zhang? Are you looking for death?"

As everyone watched, a man in a suit appeared. He was in his thirties and wore gold-rimmed glasses. This was none other than Gao Xiong, a vice president of Wushuang Corporation and one of Lu Wushuang’s top subordinates.

"General Gao!"

"General Gao!"

A chorus of greetings arose from the crowd. Gao Xiong nodded proudly and strode forward.

"General Gao... you’re finally here!" Zhang Yaoyang staggered up from the floor, his face a mask of blood.

"Mr. Zhang, what happened to you?"

Gao Xiong rushed to help him up. Gaotong Group had business dealings with Wushuang Corporation, so the two had met a few times. Zhang Yaoyang had even contacted him before arriving. He never expected to find him beaten up at the venue!

"I brought Miss Luo to the banquet, and this son of a bitch dared to hit me! General Gao, you have to help me get revenge for this!" Zhang Yaoyang snarled, clutching his bleeding face as he pointed at Chen Xiao.

Gao Xiong’s heart skipped a beat.

As a high-level executive at Wushuang Corporation, he knew some inside information. The main reason Lu Wushuang had suddenly decided to award the billion-dollar project to Luo Qingli was that someone had pulled strings for her. And Zhang Yaoyang had arrived with Luo Qingli... plus, he was a senior executive at Gaotong Group! Could it be... that Zhang Yaoyang was the one who made President Lu change her mind? After some thought, he was the only one who fit the bill.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He said fawningly, "General Zhang, rest assured, I will get justice for you!"

"Mr. Zhang, President Lu arranged this banquet specifically to welcome you. Your word is law here tonight! How would you like to deal with this man?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

A murmur rippled through the crowd. So, Zhang Yaoyang was the mysterious VIP whom President Lu herself was hosting?
