Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 60: The Assault

Xu Yanran was discovered, but she stood her ground defiantly. "Of course I have to keep an eye on you! Who knows if you’d take this opportunity to molest our precious Biyun?"

"How tedious." At this moment, Chen Xiao was somewhat weakened and couldn’t be bothered with her. He simply ignored her and strode past, returning to his room to rest. Using his Spiritual Energy had taken a great toll on him, and his current physical condition couldn’t handle the strain.

"Biyun, did this guy do anything to you?"

"I think I heard something strange..."

"If he did, you tell Auntie, and I’ll definitely stand up for you!"

"..."

Seeing how prejudiced Xu Yanran was against Chen Xiao, Li Biyun hurriedly used sign language to explain. "Auntie," she managed to say, her words enunciated carefully but still a little slurred, "he didn’t do anything to me. He was injured to the point of vomiting blood because he was treating me, so please don’t talk about him like that."

Xu Yanran was taken aback. This guy actually paid such a painful price to treat Li Biyun? Could it be that I’ve truly misunderstood him?

Xu Yanran pursed her lips. "Alright... Biyun, you should get some rest."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Xiao suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

He thought it was Li Biyun, but to his surprise, it was Xu Yanran, holding a tray with soup and food.

Xu Yanran glanced at Chen Xiao, noting his pale complexion, and couldn’t help but tease, "Well, look at you. You really went all out, didn’t you?"

"I promised to cure her, so naturally, I gave it my all," Chen Xiao replied coolly. "What are you here for?"

"Consider it a reward for helping Biyun speak again. I brought you some food," Xu Yanran announced with a light snort. "Don’t get the wrong idea. I just made some extra while I was cooking."

After saying that, she haughtily shut the door and left.

"She’s losing her mind..." Chen Xiao muttered to himself. This woman’s behavior was just too abnormal. She wouldn’t have put something in the food, would she?

Just as Xu Yanran stepped out of the room, her phone rang. It was a call from Liu Yitong.

"Hello, Brother Liu. What’s up?"

"Yanran, I have something very important to tell you!" Liu Yitong’s voice was urgent and serious. "Do you remember that vicious, wanted criminal you arrested in the Great Northwest? The Fourth Brother of the Northwest Four Ghosts?"

"He killed several of the Sky Prison’s Guardians and escaped!"

"Now, he’s gathered his other three brothers and they’re tracking you down for revenge! They’ve even threatened that after they kill you, the four of them will..."

Liu Yitong swallowed hard, unable to continue.

Xu Yanran’s face turned ashen. "He escaped?" The Northwest Four Ghosts were infamous bandits in the Northwest region—vicious, cruel, and laden with crimes. Each of them was a Martial Dao expert at the Grandmaster level.

Her promotion to Third Level Commander of Dragon Soul was precisely because she had captured the Fourth Brother, which earned her the merit for the promotion. Even so, that battle had cost her dearly. It had taken her a full three months of rest to slowly recover.

She was keenly aware that if the Northwest Four Ghosts truly teamed up to seek revenge, she would be in serious trouble. The other three Ghosts were all stronger than the Fourth Brother, especially their leader, whose strength had reached the Mid Grandmaster Stage. Dragon Soul had dispatched countless elites, yet none had managed to bring them to justice. Instead, they had suffered heavy losses. For a moment, she felt a surge of anxiety.

Liu Yitong quickly said, "Junior Sister, where are you? I’ll come over to protect you right now! With me there, they won’t dare to act so recklessly..."

This is a golden opportunity to play the hero and show off my masculine charm, Liu Yitong thought. I definitely can’t let it slip by!

Hearing this, Xu Yanran hesitated. After all, she was currently living with Chen Xiao, who had just crippled Liu Yitong’s manhood a few days ago. If Liu Yitong found out, it would be difficult to explain.

"Thank you for the offer, Brother Liu, but I’ll handle it," Xu Yanran said, taking a deep breath. "Come what may, I will face it. I’m not afraid, even if they show up at my door!"

Liu Yitong was relentless. "Junior Sister, you’re one of Dragon Soul’s finest! Besides, we’re all on the same team. It’s only right that I help..." He rattled on and on until Xu Yanran, utterly beleaguered, finally gave him the villa’s address.

A private villa? Liu Yitong grew even more excited. It seems Xu Yanran is all alone in there! This is the perfect chance for me to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress. This could be my one shot at winning her heart!

He enthusiastically packed his clothes, ready to head for the villa. Before leaving, he even bought a box of ultra-thin 0.01 condoms. A man and a woman, all alone... maybe I’ll get to use them tonight? It’s the perfect chance to test if my old prowess is still there!

As dusk settled in, Chen Xiao, inside his room, had gradually recovered his Essence Energy. Apart from a slight tightness in his chest, he had no other issues. However, a wave of exhaustion swept over him, and he felt incredibly sleepy and tired.

Downstairs, Xu Yanran took a phone call, her expression growing graver. She had just received word from Dragon Soul that the Northwest Four Ghosts had arrived in Yuncheng City and had pinpointed her location.

They’re fast...

It would be a lie to say I’m not nervous. After all, I know my own strength is no match for the four vicious Ghosts. Falling into their hands means certain death, and my end would be horrifying.

I hope Brother Liu can get here soon...

「Night descended.」

Several ghost-like figures infiltrated the villa in silence.

"Fourth Brother, are you sure the chick is in here?"

"Positive. I spent a fortune getting this intel; there’s no mistake! That bitch made me suffer in Sky Prison, I was even forced to pick up the soap... I’m going to make her pay a hundred times over!" a venomous voice hissed in the darkness.

"Heh heh, I hear that chick is a real looker. We’ll have our fill before we kill her! Then let’s see if those bastards from Dragon Soul still have the guts to put a bounty on us!"

Whispering amongst themselves, the figures closed in on the center of the villa.

The front door was violently kicked open, and the men stormed in like demons, a chilling aura instantly flooding the room.

Seated in the center of the living room, Xu Yanran slowly opened her eyes. "The Northwest Four Ghosts... So it is you!"

Upon seeing them, her body tensed. She immediately circulated her Inner Strength, entering a battle-ready state without a hint of complacency.

"Heh heh, little lady. Bet you didn’t expect this old master to break out of Sky Prison!" the Fourth Brother sneered, his face a mask of savagery. "Now that I’m out, I’m going to wreck you, fill you up, and toy with you until I’ve had my fill..."

"The four of us brothers will definitely give you the time of your life!"

"Disgusting!" Xu Yanran unsheathed a dagger, preparing to fight. Though she knew she was no match for them, her only option was to fight to the death.

"Get her!"

The Four Ghosts pounced like fiends. Their attacks were vicious and perfectly coordinated. Within just a few exchanges, they had forced Xu Yanran back, stumbling and in constant peril. In less than ten seconds, she felt as if her body was about to break apart. She retreated, spitting blood, her Inner Strength thrown into chaos.

"Little lady, prepare to be ravaged by us!"

Xu Yanran’s face was ashen. She locked her gaze on one of them, her beautiful eyes filled with a fierce determination. Even if I die, I’ll take one of them with me!

The Four Ghosts showed no chivalry, planning to kick her while she was down and capture her alive. They continued to press forward, closing in on her.

At this critical juncture, a cold voice echoed through the hall—

"You dare touch a single hair on her head?!"
