Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 647 - 628: The Plan of the Two

Through Yu Lingtian’s account, Tangyu learned the ins and outs of these matters.

Originally, the head of the Xuanwu Group was Yu Lingtian’s grandfather, who is also the current Family Head of the Yu Family, Yu Jiangshan. In the military, he was an old leader with a towering reputation. In his youth, he had participated in battles and was an old general who fought his way through the battlefield. He once served as the Chief of Staff in the military region and held a very distinguished position. Even now, though he was old and retired, his prestige still remained. Just one word from him had an effect that neither Yu Lingfeng nor his father, Yu Kunshan, could match.

Logically speaking, at Yu Lingtian’s age, he should not still be in charge of the Xuanwu Group. His role as leader was in name only, and the real support for the Xuanwu Group actually came from Yu Lingtian, the deputy head. The rightful leader of the Xuanwu Group should have been Yu Lingtian’s father, Yu Kunqian, but tragically, due to an accident, Yu Kunqian passed away while performing a highly confidential mission abroad. Three years had passed since the incident. To this day, Yu Lingtian still did not know what mission his father was on; he only knew it was top secret. He had asked his grandfather several times, but his grandfather had always refused to disclose it.

After Yu Kunqian’s sacrifice, the position of group leader of Xuanwu Group should have been taken over by Yu Lingtian, the deputy group leader. However, at this time, Yu Lingtian’s uncle and cousin, Yu Lingfeng, strongly opposed this and eventually, Yu Jiangshan had to take over as group leader of Xuanwu Group personally, letting Yu Lingtian continue as the deputy leader. Although it was a workaround, in fact, the real power of the Xuanwu Group was still in Yu Lingtian’s hands, and Yu Jiangshan was very reassured and entrusted all affairs of the Xuanwu Group to Yu Lingtian. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Because of this, Yu Kunshan had always been very dissatisfied with the situation and held a grudge, which led to a series of events that followed.

Yu Lingtian did not take the small daily quarrels to heart and had always been tolerant. However, four months ago, he was sent abroad for a secret protection mission, which went wrong, and due to certain events, Yu Lingtian was branded a traitor. At the time, the incident was sensational in Capital City, and the evidence appeared to be ample. Coincidentally, Yu Jiangshan also fell ill and was bedridden, and no one was there to speak for Yu Lingtian. His case was swiftly characterized under the banner of "righteousness over kin" by Yu Kunshan and Yu Lingfeng, leading to the subsequent manhunt.

Capital City did have its criticism towards this incident, but in the end, everyone saw it as a family matter of the Yu Family, and with even Yu Jiangshan not saying anything, others were even less likely to gossip. So, while some people felt there might be some conspiracy involved, no one spoke out, and it was only discussed privately.

Later, through his own investigation and some reliable sources, Yu Lingtian found out that the reason his grandfather had not spoken out for him was that his uncle had poisoned him. Although not fatal, Yu Jiangshan was bedridden, unable to speak or move, practically paralyzed. Every time Yu Lingtian thought of this, he felt agonizing pain and wished he could march back and kill Yu Kunshan and Yu Lingfeng. If they targeted him, Yu Lingtian, he might not have many complaints. He was already accustomed to the struggles of a powerful family, and nothing surprised him anymore.

But for them to treat his grandfather in such a beastly manner was beyond Yu Lingtian’s limits.

"Listening to you, it sounds like your uncle and the others framed you, and the case has already been decided. That means even if your grandfather stands up and tries to clear your name, it would be hard to find evidence proving your innocence, and it would be difficult to remove the traitor label from your name?" Tangyu said.

Yu Lingtian nodded with resentment, "Yes, my crime would likely be difficult to wash away. Those people my uncle bribed have probably all been silenced. Moreover, with so much time having passed and the case already decided, there’s no way to find evidence. I don’t care about the traitor charge against me. I just want my grandfather to recover and to prevent my uncle and his people from recklessly destroying the century-long foundation of our Yu Family. Plus, I have a feeling that there might be someone else behind my uncle, manipulating this matter."

"Oh, why do you think so? Your Yu Family is already powerful enough, and your uncle is a notable figure. Who could be behind him, ordering him around?" Tangyu asked.

Yu Lingtian shook his head, "I don’t know; I can’t really say, it’s just a feeling. I’ve also noticed some suspicious points, but I can’t quite explain them. Even if my uncle disregards familial affection and seeks to destroy me, it makes no sense for him not to spare my grandfather. I always feel that there might be more to it than it seems. Especially with Yu Lingfeng, I feel a great change in him. And I feel that he’s like a different person, so much so that I hardly recognize him."

After some thought, Tangyu nodded, "I’ve always trusted my instincts too, which tend to be the most accurate. Since you have such instincts, then there might really be something going on. If it’s as complicated as you believe, then the matters of your family are indeed very complex. Well, let’s not worry about how complex these issues are for the moment. Let’s discuss how we’re going to solve this situation."

"We can leave other matters aside for now. The most important thing is how to cure my grandfather. With him around, everything else becomes much easier," Yu Lingtian said.

"Right, I think so too. But how am I supposed to get close to your grandfather? He should be in the Yu Family residence, and you definitely can’t show up. I don’t get along with Yu Lingfeng, and they all know I am the Divine Doctor, so they definitely won’t let me approach your grandfather easily. I believe your grandfather must be strictly controlled by them. How can I get to see your grandfather?" Tangyu said.

Yu Lingtian said, "I’ve thought about this problem long ago, and during these two or three months in the Capital City, I’ve been secretly making these arrangements. Since I asked for your help, I certainly have a way to ensure you can meet my grandfather successfully. Here’s the thing, my cousin Yu Lingyi, he will take you to meet my grandfather. There’s also a bodyguard who guards my grandfather, to whom I owe a life-saving favor. I’ve already contacted him, and he can provide support from within. With the help of these two, you’ll be able to get close to my grandfather."

"So you already had arrangements in place, then I won’t worry about this issue anymore. However, I’m curious, isn’t Yu Lingyi just a wastrel, how could he take your side?" Tangyu couldn’t help but admire Yu Lingfeng.

Yu Lingfeng smiled lightly and said, "Yes, Yu Lingyi indeed is a real wastrel, a notorious playboy in the Capital City. Uneducated and unambitious, he spends all his time in frivolous pursuits, even joining the Crown Prince’s Faction, goofing around every day. In my grandfather’s eyes, he’s probably the most hopeless member of the Yu Family. Our family has almost given up on him, as long as he doesn’t go too far or cause any big trouble, we just let him be. My third uncle is definitely on the side of my eldest uncle, and he has joined forces with him. Otherwise, my eldest uncle’s actions wouldn’t have been so smooth. But as for Yu Lingyi, although he has countless bad habits, he still has a conscience. That’s why he has taken my side. He also hopes that grandfather will get better soon and doesn’t want the Yu Family to be messed up by my eldest uncle and Yu Lingfeng."

"Are you sure he can be trusted? I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just that after all, I’m putting myself in danger this time. If he can’t be trusted, then I might end up laying down my life at your Yu Family." Tangyu said. He trusted Yu Lingtian, but it didn’t mean he had to completely trust everyone Yu Lingtian trusted. This was no child’s play; it was a matter of life and death. Without due care, an oversight could lead to a fatal mistake. Hence, Tangyu naturally wanted to be more cautious.

"Tangyu, I understand your concerns. Although I can’t promise you anything, as all promises feel so powerless. However, I believe Yu Lingyi is trustworthy. On the day of the operation, I will be outside to provide assistance, and if something goes wrong inside, I can’t promise anything else, but I will retreat or advance alongside you. Even in death, I’ll be the one to die before you. On the road to the netherworld, you won’t be alone. Gu Xing and I will certainly accompany you. Of course, all our plans are positive, and I can’t guarantee if any unforeseen events will occur. If this time I cause your harm, consider it a debt I owe you, and if there is a next life, I swear I’ll repay you, even as a horse or ox," Yu Lingtian said, his face resolute, his commitment unwavering.

Tangyu curled his lips into a smile, "They say a friend would go through fire and water for another, and this time I’ll brave this fiery pit for you, my friend. Haha, with you and Gu Xing by my side, even death won’t be lonely. However, my principle has always been that there is only success, no failure. This time, we’ll only succeed and not fail, because our lives are precious, and it would be a pity to die like this. By the look of things, you don’t have a girlfriend yet, right? You’re not still a virgin, are you? If you die, even King Yan would hesitate to take you in."

"Haha, let’s hope for your good fortune then; we’ll succeed without fail," Yu Lingtian laughed, giving Tangyu a firm pat on the shoulder, looking at him with a heavy gaze that said everything without words.

Tangyu patted Yu Lingtian’s hand, "Let’s fight; life is about battle, and when we battle, we cannot lose, for we are warriors. This time, let’s battle together."

"To battle, we are all warriors. Tangyu, getting to know you is the luckiest thing in my life. Having a friend like you, I would die without regret, and I’m proud." Yu Lingtian said.

"Don’t go saying such sappy stuff again, you too are a man worth my respect, a real man, just like me. All right, it’s about time, I should head back. Once everything is arranged, have Yu Lingyi come find me. But you, be careful yourself," Tangyu said.

"Don’t worry about me, I’ll take care of myself," Yu Lingtian nodded.

Tangyu soon left.

After seeing Tangyu off, Gu Xing came over and looked at Yu Lingtian, "Young Master, with Tangyu’s help, we are bound to succeed. I believe, it won’t be long before we won’t need to hide in this place anymore. After more than three months of waiting, we are finally approaching the day."

Yu Lingtian’s deep gaze looked upwards, "Yes, we are finally approaching this day, and our battle is coming. Gu Xing, I’m grateful that you have been with me all this way; without you, I would have died long ago. This time, we’ll prepare for the best and prepare for the worst. If any mishap occurs, we must fight with all our might and ensure nothing happens to Tangyu."

"Rest assured, Young Master, I know what to do, and I’m all prepared," Gu Xing said seriously.
