Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 662 - 642: The Ambition of the Mo Family Brothers

Yu Lingtian’s face also turned grim, and he nodded, "In the past two months, I’ve been lurking in Capital City, dedicating all my energy to investigating this matter. In investigating the Mo brothers, I’ve utilized my most trusted relationships and even expended a great deal of favors. Finally, hard work paid off, and I found some clues. It was indeed the handiwork of the Mo brothers behind my struggles with my grandfather. Lingfeng was too arrogant, willingly being manipulated by Mo Qiankun. Mo Qiankun had something on Lingfeng, which he used to control Lingfeng and my uncle, making them work for him. This, I also confirmed from my uncle."

It seems that the situation in Capital City is also getting tense.

"The ambition of the Mo brothers is not small, even trying to control your Yu Family, and they are ruthless," Tangyu said.

Yu Lingtian’s face also showed a hint of anger, "They are ruthless indeed, striking right at the heart of our Yu Family. Mo Qiankun’s ambition goes far beyond just that. I always knew the Mo brothers were highly ambitious, but I never imagined they would dare to go so far. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Turtle, each controlled by the Huangfu Family, the Mo Family, the Yuan Family, and our Yu Family respectively. The Mo and Yuan families are very close and have even intermarried, making Mo Qiankun’s wife the daughter of the Yuan Family. The Mo and Yuan families are tightly knotted together. The Mo Family has always been at odds with our Yu Family, and due to some issues within our own family, this has given Mo Qiankun the perfect opportunity to execute his elaborate plan. From my investigation these days, I’ve found that Mo Qiankun’s ambition is not just to control Lingfeng, but all four groups."

Raising his eyebrows, Tangyu became more interested and asked, "Oh? How so?"

Seeing Tangyu’s interest, Yu Lingtian continued, "Technically, the four groups are independent, controlled by our four major families. But fundamentally, we originate from the same unit, quite like the special forces groups often described in stories, almost identical in rank. And Mo Qiankun’s ambition is to unite these four groups into one, no longer to be divided into Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Turtle, but to become a single Huaxia Dragon Group. Mo Qiankun’s true target is the leader of this Huaxia Dragon Group. Once he succeeds, he would control the most formidable force alone, and all the other three families would have to obey him. By then, no one in Capital City could contend with him. Needless to say, the Yuan Family would definitely stand with him. Now, with Lingfeng also on his side, only the Huangfu Family remains, and it’s fortunate they don’t have many weaknesses, but he’s never managed to successfully strike at them. If Huangfu Jing were also constrained by him, then his plan would have a hundred percent chance of success. As it stands, three families are already under his influence, and his proposal has already been submitted."

"So, is it possible for him to succeed?" Tangyu asked.

Yu Lingtian also shook his head, "It’s really hard to say. My grandfather has already responded to Mo Qiankun’s proposal, but this time both the Mo Family and the Yuan Family are jointly submitting the proposal, so I can’t definitively say what the final outcome will be."

In the world, nothing is certain.

"By the way, Lingtian, have you figured out where the medicine prescribed to your grandfather came from?" Tangyu asked, as this issue was his main concern.

Yu Lingtian nodded, "I’ve figured it out. The medicine was given to Mo Qiankun by Bai Gongyu. It took me a lot of effort to find out this information. I also looked into this Bai Gongyu; this guy seems a bit off. Where Bai Gongyu gets his medicine remains unknown. I’ve had one encounter with him, and he seems to be a deeply concealed and cunning individual. Although Bai Family in Capital City is not very powerful, he has managed to infiltrate the circles of Crown Prince Hall, and he’s even one of the leaders of the Crown Prince’s Faction."

"Bai Gongyu, huh? He really is a deeply concealed man," Yu Lingyi also commented.

"Oh, what’s the story with this Bai Gongyu?" Tangyu asked.

Yu Lingtian said, "He’s the eldest son of the Bai Family. Bai Gongyu has always kept a low profile, historically quite reserved. He left Capital City for a year or two, and upon his return, he changed somewhat, gradually becoming more high profile and making connections with many people, continuously pushed to his current position."

Having left Capital City for a year or two makes him even more suspicious to Tangyu.

"What does the Bai Family do?" Tangyu continued to ask.

"They’re regarded as a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but now they’re halfway between medicine and politics. Bai Gongyu is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and has gained some renown in Capital City. This has allowed him to make connections with many influential youths, thus building his extensive network," Yu Lingtian explained.

"Oh, traditional Chinese medicine." Tangyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his theory seeming even more plausible now. If Bai Gongyu indeed has ties with the Yin Medical Sect, he would be worth investigating.

Yu Lingfeng looked at Tangyu and asked, "What? Are you interested in Bai Gongyu?"

Tangyu nodded without hiding his curiosity, "Yes, I am interested. I, too, practice traditional Chinese medicine, and the medicine he uses is quite unconventional. If he formulated it himself, then he could be considered quite skilled in pharmacology. Therefore, I naturally have some interest in him."

"I’d like to meet this fellow as well, shall we go together?" Yu Lingfeng said.

This was exactly what Tangyu had in mind, and naturally, he wouldn’t refuse. He nodded in agreement. After informing Huangfu Jing, Tangyu set out with Yu Lingtian.

Bai Mansion, though it sounds like a sophisticated name, is actually a medical clinic, and it belongs to Bai Gongyu.

"This fellow really knows how to do business. To run a clinic like this, he indeed has a business mind," Tangyu couldn’t help but praise upon arriving at Bai Mansion which was an actual clinic but resembled a high-end women’s health spa. Anyone unaware might think it was an upscale club. Tangyu knew from Yu Lingtian that the clinic’s rates were astonishingly high, not something the average wealthy person could afford. Of course, the high prices also meant high-quality services. The level of service in Bai Mansion was truly comparable to a five-star hotel, giving anyone who entered a feel of luxury, a feat unmatched by any hospital.

As the three entered Bai Mansion, they were immediately greeted by an attractive nurse who seemed quite perceptive, immediately recognizing the distinguished status of the three visitors and greeted them with extra respect: "Gentlemen, may I ask if you are looking for Young Master Bai?"

Yu Lingtian nodded, "Yes, we’re looking for your Young Master Bai. Is he available now?"

"He is available; I’ll take you to him. May I ask how to address you?" the attractive nurse asked.

"My surname is Yu," Yu Lingtian replied.

A flicker of surprise appeared in the eyes of the attractive nurse as she glanced at Yu Lingtian before quickly recovering: "So, it’s Young Master Yu, this way please."

Soon, the attractive nurse led Tangyu and the others to a room door with a sign that read: Bai Office. Bai Gongyu was rather presumptuous to refer to himself as "Master Bai." The attractive nurse knocked on the door and announced, "Young Master Bai, Master Yu is at the door."

The door quickly opened, and a dashing young man in white appeared. He seemed to be in his thirties, elegant and exceedingly handsome, though his eyes added a certain depth to his appearance. This man was Bai Gongyu. The attractive nurse, upon seeing Bai Gongyu, showed a somewhat infatuated demeanor but quickly left after sparing a few shy glances.

"Ha ha, a rare visitor indeed," Bai Gongyu laughed, though his smile felt weird, devoid of any genuine emotion. Yu Lingtian’s appearance didn’t particularly surprise Bai Gongyu since Mo Qiankun had already phoned him to describe the situation with the Yu Family. However, he didn’t expect Yu Lingtian to show up so quickly. Bai Gongyu’s gaze soon landed on Tangyu. His eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled, "So, this is Tangyu, Divine Doctor Tang. I’ve heard much about you, and today I finally meet you in person. Honestly, I deeply admire Divine Doctor Tang, a true role model in our Traditional Chinese Medicine community. With Divine Doctor Tang in our community, how can it not prosper? Young Master Yu, you’ve indeed brought an even rarer guest, haha, please come in."

The corners of Tangyu’s mouth twitched slightly; this Bai Gongyu was truly a slick character, obviously a deeply calculating individual. When dealing with such a person, it was best to be cautious; otherwise, you wouldn’t know how you were stabbed in the back.

Bai Gongyu invited Tangyu and the others inside. His office was indeed spacious and luxurious. Upon entering, one would see a large resting area with a set of pure crocodile leather sofas. Bai Gongyu invited the three to sit and personally brewed a pot of tea, pouring each a cup.

"Please feel free to try the tea I brewed. I’m not sure if it’s to your taste," Bai Gongyu said with a smile, though his eyes remained observant as he scrutinized the three. He didn’t consider himself close to the three guests; if he had any connection, it was somewhat with Yu Lingyi, since they were both part of the Crown Prince’s Faction and often socialized together. However, today, Yu Lingyi was not the main actor; he was merely an accompanying guest. The intentions behind the visit of Yu Lingtian and Tangyu were unclear to him, so he handled them cautiously.

Tangyu was unreserved, picking up a cup of tea and sniffing it before tilting his head back and swallowing it, clicking his tongue, "It’s mediocre. It seems your tea-brewing skills need improvement."

Bai Gongyu felt a bit displeased internally but did not show it. Tangyu was the first person to openly criticize his tea. Coming straight to the point, it was clear Tangyu meant no peace by his visit.

"Young Master Yu, won’t you try it?" Bai Gongyu asked, looking at Yu Lingtian.

Yu Lingtian didn’t even touch his tea cup and shook his head, "I don’t drink tea."

Yu Lingtian’s somewhat aloof attitude also made Bai Gongyu unsure. It seemed there might be trouble today. These two men’s demeanor clearly indicated they were here to pick a fight. However, Bai Gongyu remained composed, smiling, "Ah, so Young Master Yu does not like tea. Unfortunately, I have no other offerings prepared. Ha ha, you’re not afraid I poisoned it, are you?" Saying this, Bai Gongyu also drank the tea in his cup, continuing, "Just a joke, of course. I trust Young Master Yu wouldn’t think that, right?"
