Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 632 - 617: Where Does Your Confidence Come From

Tangyu was forcibly taken away by the Xuanwu Group, an event that was carried out extremely covertly, with no one having received any forewarning. Zhao Wangxu, Xiao Yu, Lin Guotai, and Chairman Bi all immediately tapped into their connections, trying to find a way to get Tangyu out or, at the very least, to clarify the situation and find out where exactly Tangyu was. Although the Xuanwu Group acts under the prerogative of the Imperial Sword, it doesn’t mean they can act recklessly and do whatever they please.

The ability to influence the Xuanwu Group depends on how significant the "Bodhisattva" you ask for help is. For instance, if the elder from the Zhao family were to get involved, the matter would clearly be easy to resolve. But the problem is that Tangyu has no relationship with the Zhao family, and the elder would not lower himself for Tangyu’s sake. To ask for the elder’s involvement is clearly unrealistic. Although Chairman Bi has high prestige, he cannot interfere with the actions of the Xuanwu Group and can only seek out higher authorities.

These powers were all actively seeking a way to rescue Tangyu.

Meanwhile, in another villa, Liu Dingyang stood there with a grim and icy face, looking extremely disturbed. The lights were off, only the moonlight from the first floor cast him into an even more eerily compelling silhouette.

"Brother Yang, I’ve received a piece of news that you’ll definitely be interested in," a voice suddenly rang out from behind Liu Dingyang. It was none other than Liu Dingyang’s lackey, Ye Xun.

Liu Dingyang remained unmoved, his mind filled with nothing but anger and hatred, boiling tumultuously within. Today, Liu Dingyang had lost all face, ruthlessly trampled underfoot by Tangyu.

Ye Xun continued, "Brother Yang, I just got news from a journalist that Tangyu was taken away by the Xuanwu Group, taken away by force. Soon after, Zhao Wangxu, Xiao Yu, Chairman Bi, and Lin Guotai all rushed over to discuss countermeasures. For now, this is all we know. Brother Yang, look at this photo I took; judging by the situation, it looks like Tangyu is more likely in trouble than not. The fact that the Xuanwu Group took him indicates serious trouble, and maybe we won’t need to make a move; they might just kill him."

Ye Xun handed his phone over to Liu Dingyang, who finally looked at the phone screen and after a while let out a cold snort, "He is not worth pitying if he dies. Are you sure these people are from the Xuanwu Group?"

"Brother Yang, I don’t have the means to check if they’re from the Xuanwu Group, but my informant overheard those people claiming to be from the Xuanwu Group, saying Tangyu is suspected of killing four of their members. The scale of their operation also shows the gravity of the matter. It’s undoubtedly them. Nobody would dare to impersonate the Xuanwu Group without the courage of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and seeing how seriously Zhao Wangxu and the others are taking this, it can’t be wrong," Ye Xun explained.

Liu Dingyang nodded, his grim smile returning, "Tangyu, even you have days like this, but it’s a pity that I can’t handle you personally. The humiliation I’ve suffered today, can it never truly be washed away?" A sinister light filled Liu Dingyang’s eyes.

Ye Xun sneered slyly, "Brother Yang, that might not necessarily be the case. At least we can collect some interest first. This matter is very secret, and no one knows about it yet. If we spread the news and add a bit of embellishment, we might be able to ruin Tangyu’s reputation. In doing so, we wouldn’t be letting him off cheaply."

A glint of light appeared in Liu Dingyang’s eyes, "Good, let’s pretend I never heard about this."

Ye Xun smiled again, "I understand, Brother Yang."

------

On a military plane flying from Donglin City to Capital City, Tangyu, after being taken by the Xuanwu Group, was immediately brought aboard, and the plane quickly took off. Clearly, the Xuanwu Group intended to escort him to Capital City.

Within a mere two hours, the plane landed, and as soon as he disembarked, Tangyu was shoved onto a military vehicle, which drove for over half an hour before finally stopping.

Although it was dimly lit outside the vehicle, Tangyu could tell that they were in a rural area, with soldiers guarding all around—likely a military zone. Two men from the Xuanwu Group looked at Tangyu and gestured for him to enter. The soldiers also aimed their guns at him, treating Tangyu as if he were a dangerous heavyweight. Tangyu didn’t wait for these people to manhandle him, and willingly walked in. This was a sealed room, and the two men from the Xuanwu Group followed him in, then shut the door behind them.

The construction here was clearly impervious even to artillery fire. The outside was guarded by a large number of soldiers, making rescue from this place impossible.

In a brightly-lit secret room, a man sat, looking to be about thirty years old, yet exceptionally tall and robust. His expression was fierce, and his brows, sharp as blades, emitted an intimidating sharpness that made people dare not meet his gaze head-on. An overwhelming presence surged forth like a sudden mountain flood, giving off the impression of extraordinary strength. Additionally, from this man, Tangyu could already sense a thick killing intent. Seeing this man, Tangyu felt a vague sense of familiarity, as he bore a resemblance to the Young Master Yu he had once saved. It went without saying; Tangyu already understood that this man must undoubtedly be a member of the Yu Family. The Yu Family controlled the Xuanwu Group, and Tangyu believed this person was the murderer pursuing Young Master Yu. Tangyu had a particularly bad feeling about this man.

Several figures stood beside the man, uniformly dressed, each one stern and dignified, exuding formidable power. Clearly, these were members of the Xuanwu Group, the kings among soldiers, the elite of the elite. Each one of them was a priceless jewel within the Huaxia military, the nation’s sharp blade. Scanning the surroundings, Tangyu understood his predicament, but his face remained calm and indifferent. The more dangerous the situation, the more he could not afford to lose his composure; he needed to maintain the proper level of calm.

It was obvious that the other party did not intend to kill him. If they had wanted him dead, they could have had the Xuanwu Group’s people take action in Donglin City. There was no need to go through such trouble to bring him to the Capital City, especially in such a secretive manner.

"Do you recognize me?" The man asked with a cold smirk, his sharp gaze sweeping toward Tangyu, bearing a highly aggressive nature. It was as if he could see through to one’s innermost thoughts, leaving one feeling utterly exposed in his presence.

"I don’t, but you’re definitely not someone good; the leader of the Xuanwu Group?" Tangyu said.

The man replied, "Let me introduce myself. I am Yu Lingfeng, the deputy leader of the Xuanwu Group. Now, do you understand why I have summoned you here?"

Tangyu smirked and said, "I understand; your people already told me. I’m suspected of killing someone from the Xuanwu Group, so you brought me here for an investigation. I get it, no need for further explanation. Although I know there won’t be any fairness here, nor should I expect equal treatment, just come at me with whatever you got, no need to beat around the bush."

Yu Lingfeng looked at Tangyu with an amused expression, "I’ve reviewed all of your information, especially your recent actions, which I’ve monitored. Heh, ’savior of traditional medicine,’ Huaxia’s widely acknowledged Divine Doctor, the hero of Linshan... quite a few titles indeed, and your influence isn’t bad either. The connections you’ve made with your friends are also not trivial. If I’m not mistaken, there should be many people trying to use their connections to protect you, even reaching out to quite a few influential figures within the Capital City, high-ranking officials and veteran leaders in the military. But—I can tell you clearly right now, no matter who it is, they can’t take you away from the Xuanwu Group. I could shoot you right here, and still, no one could do anything to me."

"I believe that if you dare to take such bold action against me, then you must have thought through all the potential consequences. You’re not a fool, and neither am I. We’re both intelligent individuals, so let’s stop beating around the bush and lay our cards on the table. Tell me what you want clearly. I dared to come with you, having considered all possible outcomes, and I never expected my friends to be able to get me out. I complied with your people all the way here because I want to resolve this matter once and for all. Otherwise, just by your people’s capabilities, it’s not guaranteed I would have come willingly," Tangyu said, still fearlessly facing Yu Lingfeng.

Provoked by Tangyu’s words, a touch of amusement crossed Yu Lingfeng’s face. "Really? So you’re confident that you can leave here alive?"

"I have always had confidence, and I have always believed that fate is in my own hands. If anyone wants to take my life, they’ll have to check with me first," Tangyu stated.

The four Xuanwu Group experts in the room immediately fixed their eyes on Tangyu, ready to act at a moment’s notice in case he dared make any move, ensuring that not the slightest danger would come from him. Here, even an Immortal would find it impossible to leave unscathed. This was one of Huaxia Country’s safest places—the training base of the Xuanwu Group was no trifling matter.

Yu Lingfeng smiled, "Interesting, quite arrogant and bold. I actually quite like your attitude, but I dislike your insolence in front of me. Because here, I am the only one who can afford to be so brazen. Whether you can leave this place or not isn’t a matter of your confidence but whether I decide to let you go. As long as I don’t release you, you have no life to speak of leaving here. Your life is in my hands. Since you’re not a fool, then you should understand our Xuanwu Group’s power; I can kill you right now and not need to explain to anyone. Don’t think your status or influence can save you. The Xuanwu Group doesn’t care about such things when deciding who to kill."

Tangyu shook his head and chuckled lightly, "You’ve said so much simply to emphasize one point—I’m at your mercy, and I live or die at your whim. But perhaps you’ve forgotten the old saying, ’Man’s plans are no match for fate’s.’ I don’t like the feeling of being controlled by someone else."

"Whether you like it or not, you’re now in my grasp. But now I’m curious, what are you relying on? What’s your ace in the hole? Your status, your position, your influence? The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association? Or perhaps your future father-in-law? Or Xiao Yu, who owes you a favor? Or maybe Zhao Wangxu, the brother of that girl? Do you think any of them have the ability to rescue you from my hands?" Yu Lingfeng asked.

"They can’t," Tangyu said, shaking his head.

"Hm, since you know that, where does your confidence come from?" Yu Lingfeng asked.

"My confidence has been with me since I was in my mother’s womb," Tangyu replied.
