Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 681 - 661 Things Aren’t That Simple
Chapter 681: Chapter 661 Things Aren’t That Simple
"Should Tangyu go to the hospital?" Lin Feifei asked with great concern.
Fang Min also frowned and said, "Go to the hospital. Without cleaning and bandaging the wound, what if it gets infected and inflamed? That would be troublesome."
Even after they returned to Princess Apartments, Lin Feifei and the others were still persuading Tangyu. Such care made Tangyu feel incredibly warm inside, but he still shook his head and said, "Really, there’s no need. I am a doctor, after all. I know my own injures. It’s just a superficial skin wound, nothing serious. If you all could just help me clean it, I have antiseptic medicine powder here. After applying it, I’ll be fine very quickly."
"Alright, then I’ll help you clean it up," said Lin Feifei, shaking her head, knowing she couldn’t persuade Tangyu, and decided to go along with his wish.
Fang Min immediately went to the kitchen to fetch water, while Lin Feifei helped Tangyu undress, and Zhao Yaya brought over a towel. Once Tangyu’s clothes were off, his back was completely stained with fresh blood, and the sight of the fierce wound was so shocking it could frighten anyone. Seeing such a wound, Guo Momo’s heart twisted with pain as if she were being cut with a knife. She felt guilty once again; if it weren’t for her, Tangyu would not be injured. It was her fault Tangyu had to endure such pain, and she truly wished she were the one hurt instead.
The water and towel were quickly brought over, and Guo Momo turned to Lin Feifei and said, "Let me do it."
Lin Feifei looked at Guo Momo and, without hesitation, nodded and handed the towel to Guo Momo, who started to carefully clean Tangyu’s wound.
The wound was soon cleaned, and Tangyu changed into clean clothes and applied the antiseptic medicine to treat himself. He began to feel much better. While an ordinary person with such wounds would definitely have to rest in bed for a few days, Tangyu seemed to be fine in no time.
After dealing with the wound, Tangyu’s phone was buzzing non-stop. One by one, familiar friends were calling to express their concern. It seemed the news had already spread in Donglin City’s upper circles. Lin Guotai also called personally to express his concern, which caught Tangyu off guard. Of course, what made Tangyu happy was that Huangfu Jing had called too. It seemed she still cared quite a bit about him; her call came shortly after his incident.
Other calls from the Capital City included Yu Lingtian, and even the old master of the Yu Family personally greeted Tangyu.
Each call was filled with concern and made Tangyu feel extremely content. In the three-plus months he’d been in Donglin City, he’d made quite a few friends. That feeling was rather pleasant.
"You can’t take any more calls now, let me keep your phone," Lin Feifei said as she snatched Tangyu’s phone away, refusing to let him continue answering calls.
"Exactly, Tangyu. You just sit here and rest. If you’re thirsty, just tell me. You’re a patient now, you shouldn’t be moving around or talking. Just rest well," Fang Min said as well.
Tangyu felt both happy and helpless. He was fine, yet they were still treating him like a patient. Too much care could also be uncomfortable. At that moment, Tangyu could only go along with them; otherwise, the three of them talking would have made his head spin.
One woman is a helper, three women is a show.
Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan came along with Zhang Xiaodong and Zhang Xiaoxi, and the four brought a whole table’s worth of fruits and nourishing snacks. Tangyu found it somewhat amusing; after all, he was a Divine Doctor, and such a small injury was nothing to him. With his master’s specially made antiseptic medicine and his own Pure Yang Qi, he would be completely recovered within three to five days, without even a scar left. But these women, they all treated him like he was seriously injured.
Amidst the laughter, he also felt full of happiness.
Luckily, these women got along without any jealousy arising, which relieved Tangyu. It seemed that these women could live in peace and harmony in the future.
Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan didn’t stay long, left their gifts, asked a few questions out of concern, and then left. Liu Shanshan seemed reluctant to go, but with so many women there to care for Tangyu, her presence was unnecessary. Besides, seeing their close interactions, her heart inevitably felt a bit disturbed.
Zhang Xiaodong and Zhang Xiaoxi also didn’t stay long. Although Zhang Xiaodong’s relationship with Tangyu had improved, it was just beginning, and with the situation with her mother, she was not in the mood these days. Seeing Tangyu was alright, the two left feeling reassured. Seeing everyone gone, Fang Min originally wanted to leave as well, but Lin Feifei pulled her aside to stay. So, the three women circled Tangyu, while Zhao Yaya sat off to the side watching cartoons, bored.
"I’m really fine now, let me stand up and move my body," Tangyu said.
"No way!" the three women said in unison.
"Alright then, I’ll just sit," Tangyu could only sit there obediently. One moment Lin Feifei fed him a grape, the next Fang Min peeled a banana for him, and then Guo Momo brought over a cup of warm water. Tangyu was treated almost like an emperor.
This kind of treatment was something Tangyu was not quite used to.
The arrival of Song Qingyu finally came to Tangyu’s rescue.
"Are you okay? Why didn’t you go to the hospital?" Song Qingyu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she sized up Tangyu before quickly averting her gaze, which seemed to flash with an odd expression. It was as if she was deliberately trying to hide something.
Tangyu nodded: "I’m fine, just some superficial wounds, nothing serious."
"Oh, that’s good," Song Qingyu nodded, feeling inexplicably relieved for some reason. She then quickly continued, "Speaking of official business, this case is no trivial matter; it has garnered the attention of city leaders, after all. This involves a powerful assassin organization from abroad, and the victim is Tangyu. Our Donglin City police force has already begun a thorough investigation. We have essentially confirmed the identity of the assassin—it’s someone from the Dark Soul Organization."
Someone from the Dark Soul Organization, Tangyu thought without much surprise, having already considered the possibility it was someone from the Dark Soul Organization.
"Of the three dead, two were ordinary assassins from Dark Soul, and one was a member of the Twelve Knights, a very notorious assassin in the assassin world, commanding significant notoriety," Song Qingyu said, looking at Tangyu with a hint of admiration in her eyes. The assassins who had made a name for themselves in the assassin world were no ordinary characters, and yet, such a person had been easily dispatched by Tangyu, a testament to Tangyu’s formidable strength.
"You’ve caused heavy losses to the Dark Soul Organization twice now, and this time, you even killed one of their knights. Naturally, Dark Soul won’t let things slide, so be extra careful from now on. Of course, our police force will also do everything in our power to ensure your safety and will closely monitor all movements so that no assassin can easily infiltrate Donglin City. However, I’d advise you to stay put except for the few places you normally visit. We’ll strengthen police deployment in those areas," said Song Qingyu.
Tangyu nodded: "Alright, I understand." Tangyu didn’t care much for himself; he was mainly concerned about inadvertently endangering the women around him.
This time, it was good that Dark Soul had targeted only him. If they threatened him with the women close to him, it would indeed be much more troublesome. Therefore, Tangyu couldn’t afford to be careless.
"Alright, I’ve said what I needed to. For now, just focus on recuperating at home, and we’ll handle the rest. Now, please cooperate and make a statement. After all, we still need to go through the basic procedures," instructed Song Qingyu.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Since it was just a formality, the statements were taken relatively quickly. In less than half an hour, all five statements were recorded. After wrapping up here, Song Qingyu stood to leave: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. Oh, and if you need anything, just call me. Your safety is now my full responsibility."
"Alright, Song Qingyu, thanks a lot," Tangyu said.
"Mm," Song Qingyu nodded, gave Tangyu a deep look, and then turned to leave.
"Ah, I have a feeling Sister Qingyu also seems to have fallen for good guy brother. Oh no, at this rate, she’ll sweep us all up, leaving me as the only fish that slipped through the net. This isn’t fair, not fair at all. Good guy brother, hurry up and take me in too," Zhao Yaya suddenly exclaimed.
"..."
Tangyu was rendered speechless by the young girl’s outburst. Take her in? That truly gave Tangyu a sense of guilt; Zhao Yaya was only thirteen and hadn’t even turned fourteen yet. Although her physical development compared to some seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, she was still very young.
After some light-hearted banter, it finally approached evening, and Fang Min insisted on going home. She couldn’t very well stay the night, could she?
Guo Momo went off to cook dinner, Lin Feifei stayed by Tangyu’s side to take care of him, and occasionally Zhao Yaya would join in to liven things up.
Tangyu’s phone suddenly rang again, and Lin Feifei, seeing it was Xiao Yu calling, hesitated for a moment. Normally she would have answered it for Tangyu, but Xiao Yu held a different status. She handed the phone to Tangyu instead. Upon seeing it was from Xiao Yu, Tangyu quickly got up and walked to the side to take the call: "Xiao Yu."
From the other end came Xiao Yu’s voice: "Tangyu, you sound fine. I knew those injuries wouldn’t be much for you, so I didn’t call to disturb you. About the matter you asked me to investigate, I’m sorry, but I think you already know what I found. It is indeed Zhang Xiaoxi’s mother, Hu Yanfei. Her past records have all but disappeared, and she’s been gone for over ten years without ever appearing in Donglin City. It’s puzzling that she suddenly returned without leaving any clues behind. Currently, we can’t pinpoint her whereabouts. I’ll keep having her watched, and I’ll let you know immediately once I have any news."
"Thanks, and there’s another thing I’d like to ask for your help with," Tangyu nodded, understanding that the difficulty in uncovering information likely validated his suspicions.
"Name it," Xiao Yu swiftly responded.
Tangyu continued, "You must be aware of this morning’s incident—an assassin from the Dark Soul Organization came after me. While I’ve had some issues with Dark Soul and have killed a few of their assassins, it doesn’t make sense for Dark Soul to take action against me at this point, nor would they normally send a knight to assassinate me over a few ordinary assassins, right?"
"So you think there’s something fishy about it? Actually, your suspicions may be correct, and I have my doubts that things are that straightforward. Alright, I’ll look into it. I’ll let you know if anything comes up," Xiao Yu answered.
"That’s great, thanks, Xiao Yu. I won’t keep you with any more small talk," Tangyu said, nodding before hanging up the phone.
