I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 506 - 423: Taking Action

How skilled must Xia Liang be? He’s already unfathomable at such a young age. I must stay in frequent contact with him.

Thinking this, Xue Ren glanced at Xia Liang with a smile.

Of course, Xia Liang had no time for Xue Ren’s inner thoughts. He was only concerned with one thing right now.

With Chen Xuandu’s abilities, he’s definitely several times stronger than Lin Quanzi. I’m afraid this Three Evils Mountain Protecting Formation won’t be enough to handle him.

You’re next, aren’t you, Chen Xuandu? I wonder if you can withstand what I have in store for you.

Xia Liang looked into the distance, the corners of his mouth curving into a dangerous smile.

「Qingyun City Longhua Hospital.」

"Doctor Wang, please proceed with the operation immediately!" an urgent voice cried out. A moment later, a nurse pushed a treatment cart into the operating room.

Lying on the cart was none other than Lin Quanzi.

At this moment, Lin Quanzi had already lost consciousness, his complexion deathly pale.

"The patient has a ruptured spleen and needs a massive blood transfusion! Prepare plasma!" another urgent voice called from the operating room. A nurse rushed in with a bag of plasma, and the large doors to the room were shut tight.

Outside the operating room, three young men in Taoist robes surrounded a white-bearded elder, their faces somber.

"Master, what on earth did Fourth Brother go to do?"

"How could he get injured so badly? Master, what happened?"

"Master, I’ll go avenge Fourth Brother!"

"I’ll go too!" the three young men declared, encircling the old priest with righteous indignation.

The old priest was, naturally, Chen Xuandu—Taoist Priest Chen.

"Noisy."

Chen Xuandu’s eyes snapped open, radiating a sharp light.

He scanned the three of them. "As cultivators, how can you be so hot-tempered? What sort of decorum is this?"

At his words, the three of them immediately fell silent. Seeing his disciples quiet down, Chen Xuandu squinted his eyes and began performing a series of calculations on his fingers.

The atmosphere in the hospital instantly grew tense.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuandu opened his eyes.

"The Three Evils Mountain Protecting Formation? I didn’t expect this young man to have some skill."

"The Three Evils Mountain Protecting Formation?"

"Master, do you mean Fourth Brother was injured because of that?"

"Who is this person? It can’t be Cha Bin, can it?"

The three looked at each other in dismay. A moment ago, they had been filled with righteous indignation, but now they had all fallen silent. After all, they knew they were no match for someone who could set up the Three Evils Mountain Protecting Formation.

"Just a moment ago, each of you was clamoring to avenge Fourth Brother. Why are you all so quiet now?" Chen Xuandu said coldly, looking at his three disciples shrinking back.

After a long pause, one disciple stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, what should we do now? Our Shuanglong Taoist Temple can’t just swallow this insult."

"Yes, Master! How about the three of us brothers go together?"

"Fourth Brother was too careless, and that’s why he lost. If the three of us go together, we can definitely handle it."

"Master, who is that person? Let us go!"

The three bowed as they spoke.

"You are no match for him," Chen Xuandu said, dismissing them with a wave of his hand. "I’ll go myself this time. Since he used such a method against Fourth Brother, I will give him a taste of his own medicine."

Having said that, Chen Xuandu stood up.

"You three look after Fourth Brother. I’ll go and see for myself just how capable this young man really is."

With that, Chen Xuandu left. However, he didn’t head for the manor. Instead, he turned a corner and walked toward Xia Liang’s residence.

Xia Liang waited until sunset, but Chen Xuandu still hadn’t shown up.

Because Lin Quanzi was unconscious, Xia Liang couldn’t read Chen Xuandu’s next move from him.

As the sky grew darker, Xia Liang’s phone rang.

"Brother Xia, are you still over there?"

"Yes. Have you gone back yet?" Xia Liang replied.

"No, there are still quite a few customers in the shop," said Zhang Xiaokui. "Should I close up now and head back?"

Xia Liang thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Wait until the shop is empty, then go to my place first. I’ll follow shortly."

After saying this, Xia Liang hung up.

He turned to Xue Ren. "Boss Xue, I’ll take you back now. You should be safe at my house."

Xue Ren, having no other option, could only agree.

Xia Liang got into the car with Xue Ren and Monk Ruoshan.

"Great Monk, you and Xiao Kui stay at home to protect Boss Xue. With the two of you there, I reckon Chen Xuandu won’t dare to act too rashly."

"Amitabha. I am at Master Xia Tian’s disposal," Monk Ruoshan declared, his hands clasped together. He felt a sense of enlightenment after the guidance Xia Liang had given him earlier.

However, just as Xia Liang started driving toward Qingyun City, his phone suddenly rang again.

Xia Liang answered the call. "What’s wrong? Did you make it back?"

For a long moment, no one spoke. Only chaotic noise came from the other end. Xia Liang’s heart sank.

Could Chen Xuandu have known about the trap I set at the manor and deliberately bypassed me to go after Xiao Kui and the others?

The uneasy feeling in his heart intensified.

Xia Liang switched to speakerphone. "What’s going on over there? Did you run into trouble?"

After a long pause, a response finally came. "Xia Liang, it’s me."

Xia Liang immediately recognized Xu Wanying’s voice, but it lacked its usual fiery demeanor. Instead, her tone was filled with urgency.

His heart skipped a beat. "Wanying, speak slowly. What exactly happened?"

"Xiao Kui is injured..."

SCREEECH!

Xia Liang’s car screeched to an abrupt halt on the roadside, jolting Xue Ren and Monk Ruoshan in the back seat.

His voice was grim. "Where are you? And Xiao Yun? Is Xiao Yun okay?"

"Xiao Yun went to get the first-aid kit for Xiao Kui."

"Give me the phone! Let me talk to Brother Xia!" Xiao Yun’s voice suddenly cut in.
