Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 644 Voting

Huang Zhendong glanced at the two of them, his mouth moving as if to say something biting, but after hesitating again and again, he ultimately didn't dare to speak.

He was afraid he couldn't win the argument.

After Wong Qifu and Xu Ke had taken their seats, Yuan Shang said, "Let's begin the voting. Today, there are three candidates for the position of Law Enforcement Hall Chief. The election is decided if any candidate receives at least four votes, which constitutes a two-thirds majority."

Then, the doors behind Hua Xingxue opened, and a middle-aged man and woman walked in.

Xu Ke glanced at them, not even interested enough to ask for their names.

He knew these two had been invited to apply by Ye Yunfeng. Both were recruited into the Law Enforcement Hall through regular examinations after Peng Hetong came to power. Now that Hua Xingxue wanted the position, Ye Yunfeng would certainly put forward new candidates to block his path.

However, anyone with a clear eye knew such maneuvers were meaningless.

"Let's start the voting," Chen Xiong said in a deep voice as he distributed the six voting cards. Those who wished to vote would simply stamp their seal on one.

As the cards were being handed out, Ye Yunfeng looked at Hua Xingxue with a smile. "Old Hua, I never expected you to recover from your old ailment after so long. When I sent you medicine before, didn't you say your injury was incurable? To think you've recovered now. I wonder, which Divine Doctor was it who treated you?"

Ye Yunfeng was utterly furious about Hua Xingxue's sudden recovery.

It was only after Hua Xingxue crippled his own martial abilities that Ye Yunfeng had felt at ease, letting him and his granddaughter continue to scrape by in Tianhai. Furthermore, fearing that Chen Xiong and Yuan Shang might detect something, Ye Yunfeng hadn't made any further moves against him.

It was precisely for this reason that he was so enraged at this moment.

Because he hadn't been decisive back then, Hua Xingxue had managed to bounce back. Although he hadn't regained the formidable strength of the Innate Late Stage, there was no guarantee that Hua Xingxue wouldn't one day recover his peak power.

The thought of this made Ye Yunfeng feel as if he had eaten feces, his heart filled with both regret and rage.

Although he knew that today's vote was doomed to fail in producing a new Law Enforcement Hall Chief due to the two emerging factions in Tianhai, and that Hua Xingxue's struggles were no more than a grasshopper's last kicks in late autumn, he was still extremely displeased.

Listening to Ye Yunfeng's sarcastic tone and his attempt to probe who exactly had saved Hua Xingxue, Yuan Shang and Chen Xiong's expressions tightened, their eyes narrowing slightly.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke and Wong Qifu, the parties concerned, appeared calm, as if the person who saved Hua Xingxue had nothing to do with them.

「At the same time」

After casting his vote, Huang Zhendong couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xu Ke. Watching Xu Ke's impassive expression, a multitude of thoughts rose in his mind.

Because of the information from Chang Yi, I've always felt that Xu Ke was connected to the Medical Saint. But since Shi Hongda warned the Huang Family not to discuss the Medical Saint, we backed down and didn't investigate further. Now, seeing Hua Xingxue healed, my instincts tell me this matter has to be connected to Xu Ke. But I don't think Xu Ke himself has this ability; no one can be so talented as to advance so far in both the Martial Path and the medical arts simultaneously. My only guess is... could the Medical Saint have come here personally? Besides, healing an injury from self-crippled martial arts seems to require the kind of transcendent medical skills that only the Medical Saint possesses...

At this thought, Huang Zhendong was struck with dread.

If the Medical Saint personally saved Hua Xingxue, doesn't that mean he plans to enter the Tianhai fray? I heard back in the day that the Medical Saint once commanded a powerful force that could contend on equal footing with all the martial alliances in Huaxia combined. But for some unknown reason, that force vanished into thin air, and the Medical Saint disappeared. If he has reappeared now, does it mean the situation in Tianhai is about to be turned upside down? It's rumored that the Medical Saint's strength is a cut above even the Long Capital Martial Alliance Leader, Martial Saint Yan Xuehai. If someone like that came to Tianhai, wouldn't leveling the six great families be as easy as flipping his hand?

At this thought, Huang Zhendong's face grew anxious. He felt as if he had stumbled upon an extraordinary secret and couldn't even focus on the vote anymore.

While Huang Zhendong was lost in wild speculation, Hua Xingxue looked at Ye Yunfeng and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Family Head Ye. I never expected my injury to suddenly heal; it's all thanks to that Divine Doctor."

"Then I wonder who that Divine Doctor is? I happen to have some minor ailments myself and would like to consult with him," Ye Yunfeng sneered.

"That Divine Doctor has already left Tianhai," Hua Xingxue refused.

"Do you have his contact information?" Ye Yunfeng pressed aggressively.

"No." Hua Xingxue shook his head, his face calm.

Ye Yunfeng wanted to question him further, trying to pry out a single clue.

But just then, Yuan Shang stared at Ye Yunfeng and said, "Family Head Ye, did I invite you here just to chat? Are you going to vote or not? If not, you can leave."

"Can't I ask a question?" Ye Yunfeng replied with a forced smile, wanting to strangle Yuan Shang for the interruption.

"Then abstain from voting, and I'll let you ask all you want."

"Heh."

Ye Yunfeng couldn't be bothered with Yuan Shang. He looked down, took out his seal, and casually cast his votes for the two candidates he had put forward. He then smiled at Qin Feng and Huang Zhendong, hinting that they should also vote for his candidates. After that, he closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for the results to be announced so he could leave.

Seeing Ye Yunfeng's smile, Qin Feng's expression soured.

What is he playing at, closing his eyes to rest? Does he know what's coming?

He then looked toward Huang Zhendong, an apologetic look on his face. He wanted to say something to prepare the man, but he saw Huang Zhendong simply nod back at him before he, too, assumed a grave expression and closed his eyes to rest.

Qin Feng: "..."

At that moment, Qin Feng took a deep breath, cursed silently under his breath, and stamped his own voting card.

...

"Alright, it's time to announce the results."

Yuan Shang collected the six voting cards.

Ye Yunfeng's face was impassive, while Huang Zhendong still looked constipated. Neither of them cared much about the vote; after all, Hua Xingxue couldn't possibly win. The former was preoccupied with what opportunities might arise to crush Xu Ke, while the latter was wondering if the Medical Saint had truly reappeared.

Between them, Qin Feng sat there, the will to live drained from his face.

After counting the cards, a smile curled Yuan Shang's lips. A staff member photographed the results for the record, after which Yuan Shang and Chen Xiong co-signed them as proof. Then, Yuan Shang announced, "With votes from the Chen, Wang, Qin, and Zhou Families, candidate Hua Xingxue has won the position of Law Enforcement Hall Chief with four votes, a two-thirds majority!"

"Congratulations to Chief Hua!"

The moment the words fell, Ye Yunfeng, whose face had been placid, changed dramatically. He shot to his feet. "What did you say?!"

Huang Zhendong's eyes bulged, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

What the hell was going on?
