Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 621 - 624: Expert?

「Meanwhile.」

Sun Gang and Yuan Wenkang had a rare meeting. The two of them sat together, their faces grim as they stared at one another.

Finally, after a long moment, Yuan Wenkang was the first to speak.

"Sun Gang, what is going on!" he demanded. "Didn't you say your sect would help deal with Liu Ergou as long as the money was good? And isn't everyone in your sect supposed to be an expert? Especially your master, who is known as a master of the Houtian Realm. So, what happened? How is it that after all this time, you can't even handle a single Liu Ergou? Don't tell me he's some Innate Grandmaster!"

As Yuan Wenkang spoke, he wasn't angry but was instead unusually calm—a calmness that was somewhat terrifying.

Hearing this, Sun Gang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Young Master Yuan, I honestly didn't see this coming either! My master may not think much of me, but as long as I pay enough, he's always handled anything I needed. A significant reason for my success over the years is my connection to the Flying Swallow Sect. But I never expected this… sigh… Still, I can't afford to offend them. So, Young Master Yuan, do you think you could step in this time?"

Yuan Wenkang did not blame Sun Gang, because the turn of events was truly too unexpected. Initially, Yuan Wenkang had also been certain that Liu Ergou was doomed. An Ancient Martial Artist had been mobilized, an expert at that. It would have been a miracle if Liu Ergou had survived.

And yet, Liu Ergou had, in fact, survived.

Not only was he still alive, but the Flying Swallow Sect had even called Sun Gang directly. They told him they would no longer target Liu Ergou and advised him to give up on the idea and keep a low profile. This warning had left both Sun Gang and Yuan Wenkang utterly stunned.

After some thought, Yuan Wenkang nodded. "Alright, I'll have to take action myself this time. But you should know, the price might be even higher than what your sect charges."

Hearing this, Sun Gang didn't hesitate for a moment, patting his chest in assurance. "Young Master Yuan, I may not be as rich as you, but I can still scrape together the money to have someone killed! So I'm counting on you for this!"

Seeing Sun Gang's resolve, Yuan Wenkang nodded in satisfaction and shouted toward the door, "Uncle, could you please come in for a moment? I have a favor to ask!"

As his voice fell, an older man in a butler's uniform pushed the door open and walked in swiftly. "What do you need, Young Master?"

Looking at the man, Yuan Wenkang said, "Uncle, do any of your friends happen to be powerful Ancient Martial Artists? Preferably one who works as a professional assassin. I'm willing to pay to hire him to kill someone for me. Is that possible?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The old man nodded. "Since you've asked, Young Master, how could I say no? Please wait a moment, about half an hour or so."

With that, the butler turned and left.

Yuan Wenkang and Sun Gang sat there, waiting patiently. About half an hour later, the old man returned. This time, however, he was pushing a wheelchair. In it sat a man so old he looked almost shriveled, his limbs withered with age. He had to be at least a hundred years old. The elderly man was dozing off, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the wheelchair's frame.

When Yuan Wenkang and Sun Gang saw this, the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.

Could this old man possibly be the assassin?

They were left completely speechless.

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Wenkang finally asked, "Wait a minute, Uncle. I asked you to find me an assassin. Why did you bring an old man in a wheelchair? Don't you dare tell me this is the killer you found. If he is, I'll stand on my head and drink porridge right now!"

To Yuan Wenkang's utter surprise, the butler simply nodded. "Young Master, this is indeed the assassin I found for you. Don't be fooled by his current appearance; his strength is quite formidable! He's a master at the Acquired Realm Peak! He might have some issues, but killing a nobody like Liu Ergou will be no trouble at all."

Just as the butler finished speaking, the old man in the wheelchair suddenly stopped dozing and opened his eyes. He glanced around with a confused look, then turned his head to the butler.

With a puzzled expression, he said, "Cough… Old Ghost, how did I get here? And why did you suddenly decide to find me? What's going on?"

The butler replied in a calm tone, "Old Cripple Head, didn't I tell you? My Young Master wants to hire you to kill someone. I've already told you two or three times. How could you forget in the blink of an eye? You're really dropping the ball."

The two spoke casually, as if they were old friends.

This prompted Sun Gang to whisper to Yuan Wenkang, "Come on, Young Master Yuan, let's not joke around, okay? I feel like I could finish this old man with a single punch. And you want him to kill Liu Ergou? Are you hoping Liu Ergou punches him to death so his son can extort a fortune from him? It sounds like a decent idea, but Liu Ergou isn't short on cash!"

However, just as Yuan Wenkang was about to respond, Sun Gang suddenly clutched his face and cried out.

"AH! What's wrong with my face? It hurts so much!"

When Sun Gang pulled his hand away, it was covered in blood. Mustering his courage, he reached up to the most painful spot on his face. His fingers found a bloody hole.

This left Sun Gang completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? How did a bloody hole just appear on my face out of nowhere?

As he reeled in confusion, Old Cripple Head spoke from his wheelchair. "Cough, cough, cough. I may be old, but I'm not so deaf that I can't hear what people are saying. Young man, if you're going to speak ill of me, I suggest you do it more quietly next time. If I hear you again, I will personally gouge out both of your eyes. If you think this old man is joking, you're welcome to test me tonight. Just know that I won't be responsible for what happens."

With those words, Sun Gang finally realized the hole in his face had been caused by this old man.

But… I was staring right at him the whole time. He didn't even move… This…

The more Sun Gang thought about it, the more terrified he became. Overcome with fear, he instinctively leaned back.

Yuan Wenkang, however, felt his eyes light up.

It seems this Old Cripple Head is a real master.
