Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 683 - 663 Another Matter Involving the Zhou Family

After sending Lengzi and his crew away, Tangyu couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. Lengzi and the others were part of his little setup, and there might come a time when they would be useful. After all, the power of the underground world can sometimes accomplish things that ordinary people cannot. And Lengzi’s group, they’re like a secret weapon, a sharp sword. The combined strength of the eight of them is definitely top-notch. Moreover, Xu Hu and his group have also trained some elites; though individually not very remarkable, dozens of them together still constituted a force to be reckoned with.

With Lengzi and Xiaoyu, two masters, Tangyu was also prepared for any unexpected needs.

As for their dream of unifying the underground world of Donglin City, that was their own ideal, and Tangyu would simply support them.

Assessing his current forces, they included Xu Hu and his group, Wei Yaoye with Chang Baosheng, the Yu Family which owed him a huge favor, and one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, Xiao Yu. As for relying on others, it wasn’t a good idea, not even Yang Xiaoyu was dependable in that respect. These forces seemed quite formidable, but Tangyu still felt it was not enough. He didn’t know the full extent of the Yin Medical Sect’s strength, but he always had a foreboding feeling.

The most frightening aspect was that he still hadn’t found a way to get to the bottom of it.

Guo Momo and Lin Feifei came downstairs, and seeing them, Tangyu cast aside his troubled thoughts and stopped mulling over the headache-inducing issues.

"Tangyu, you’ve been so restless these past two days, often lost in thought. Has something happened?" Lin Feifei, having spent the most time with Tangyu and knowing him best, could make guesses from his expressions alone.

Tangyu hadn’t intended to share these matters with Lin Feifei and the others, firstly because it was better they didn’t know for now, and secondly, because he didn’t want to burden them with his troubles. But seeing Lin Feifei’s earnest look of concern, he pursed his lips and finally said, "I have a bad feeling, as if something major is about to happen. It’s best if you all stay at home these days for safety. Apart from school and home, try not to go anywhere else. Perhaps, the skies of Donglin City are about to change."

While the two were not usually concerned with such matters, Tangyu’s grave expression made them realize he wasn’t joking; something big was indeed going to happen in Donglin City.

"Alright," both of them nodded in agreement, taking Tangyu’s words seriously.

Tangyu clenched his teeth in determination, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He must ensure the safety of Lin Feifei and the others, no matter what. Even though the Donglin police had already assigned many officers to protect them, Tangyu was still not at ease.

A phone call broke the silence; it was from Xiao Yu. It seemed there was news. Tangyu immediately stepped aside to answer the call, "You have news?"

"As expected, after two days of investigation, I finally have something. The reason Dark Soul Organization dispatched an assassin, a Knight, along with two common killers to take you out at any cost, is because they were hired. Taking on this job was killing two birds with one stone for them. The employer, you might have guessed, is the Zhou Family. They spared no expense to deal with you this time. Do you know how much Dark Soul Organization charged for this mission? Ten billion Huaxia Currency. Your life, it seems, is quite valuable."

Tangyu’s face darkened, and his brows furrowed, a cold murderous intent rising within him, "So, it really is the Zhou Family. Again and again, they provoke me, thinking I’m someone to be trifled with." Tangyu clenched his fists, resolving not to let the Zhou Family off this time. Since they were courting death, he would use this opportunity to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. It seemed he had been too low-key in the past.

Ten billion? Was that high?

It was an insult to him. Was his life only worth ten billion?

"Xiao Yu, do you have solid evidence?" Tangyu asked.

"I knew you would need it, so I prepared it in advance. Although these things are difficult to investigate, they can’t stump me. When it comes to intelligence, I, Xiao Yu, dare claim second place in Donglin City, but no one dares claim first," Xiao Yu said confidently.

Tangyu nodded. Xiao Yu’s capabilities in gathering intelligence were indeed formidable, mastering such sensitive information so quickly. At the very least, Xiao Yu had easily aided him with several favors asked. With such intelligence-gathering capacity, he was truly fearsome. This showed that Xiao Yu’s personal power had reached a terrifying level as well. His standing among the Five Young Masters of Donglin also proved his strength; he indeed had many exceptional qualities.

In Donglin City, when it came to admiration, apart from Xiao Yu, there was no one else Tangyu held in such esteem.

Maybe it was a case of mutual respect between heroes, which could have been one of the reasons Tangyu and Xiao Yu were so close.

"It’s good to have evidence. Xiao Yu, I’m sure you understand my intention. Since the Zhou Family insists on pushing me to my death, I can no longer afford to be forgiving. They have brought it upon themselves, and I can only fulfill the Zhou Family’s fate now. I don’t want there to be a Zhou Family in Donglin City tomorrow," Tangyu spoke calmly, yet his words were laden with murderous intent.

A rare display of murderous intent.

"Heh, brother Tangyu, it’s about time you acted like this. I know what to do now. I’ll take care of this matter for you and ensure it sends shockwaves through the whole of Donglin City. Then, with your final blow, the Zhou Family will be finished," Xiao Yu said.

After discussing their strategy, they hung up the phone.

Tangyu sat back on the sofa, feeling great. The tiger was finally about to show its power. Without a roar or two from him, it seemed nobody would recognize he was a dragon.

People say a fierce dragon doesn’t cross rivers, but Tangyu didn’t agree. If it couldn’t even cross a river, then it wasn’t a fierce dragon; it was nothing more than a legless lizard. Since he was a dragon, let alone a river, he could stir up even the sea. The Zhou Family, it was time for them to be wiped from Donglin City. If anyone had said such a thing before, it would have been a joke, but now Tangyu had all the qualifications to say it.

Young and brash, he had the right to be wild for once.

"Tangyu, what’s got you so happy?" Lin Feifei asked. She had just seen Tangyu with a worried expression, and now he was all smiles.

Tangyu took one arm around Lin Feifei and the other around Guo Momo, hugging both beauties at the same time. This pleasant feeling made him burst into loud laughter, "Haha, I’ve been holding back a bellyful of fire these past few days, and today, I can finally let it out. Just wait for the show."

Although the two women didn’t know what was going on, it had to be no small matter to make Tangyu so thrilled.

Indeed, it was no small matter.

Soon, a piece of news spread like wildfire through Donglin City, with unimaginable speed, more terrifying than a raging tidal wave. In less than half a day, it became common knowledge. The news involved Tangyu, Divine Doctor Tang, and the Zhou Family, one of the seven wealthy families of Donglin City. It claimed the assassination attempt on Tangyu was orchestrated by the Zhou Family, who had paid a hefty sum to hire an assassin to kill him.

This news described the entire process in great detail, and it even included evidence. Needless to say, the news first spread online, but as soon as it broke, it caused a massive uproar, like a magnitude twelve earthquake, and spread rapidly, soon stirring public outcry throughout the city.

Who was Tangyu?

He was the idol of tens of millions, the universally recognized Divine Doctor, a national hero, a real celebrity. Although the East-West exchange conference had ended a week ago, Tangyu’s influence was far from diminished. So, when such news broke at this time, the Zhou Family naturally became public enemy number one. Outraged, people quickly organized to besiege all of the Zhou Family’s properties, even surrounding their residences, looking ready to tear them down.

The power of an idol is limitless.

The anger of the people is incredibly terrifying.

And this incident clearly provoked public outrage, bringing about a unanimous public condemnation.

Donglin City’s authorities also swiftly deployed thousands of police officers to handle the situation, and all direct members of the Zhou Family were taken away by the police before they could even make sense of what was happening. In a way, the police saved them, because if they had shown their faces in public, even if they weren’t beaten to death, the spit from the crowd would have been enough to drown them. For a time, Donglin City was in uproar, especially among the elite, who were all discussing the matter heatedly.

Obviously, with the issue blown up to such proportions and with irrefutable evidence, the Zhou Family was in big trouble. It was expected that they would soon be struck off the registers of Donglin City.

From the outbreak of the incident to the arrest of the Zhou Family, it was only a little more than half a day. The impact of the explosion was frightfully immense, resembling a nationwide movement. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who joined the encirclement of the Zhou Family reached several hundred thousand. Tangyu’s call to action was indeed terrifyingly powerful. Of course, part of that was also Xiao Yu secretly stirring the pot. With a lead, naturally, others would follow.

Power, when properly harnessed, becomes extraordinarily formidable and fearsome.

And Xiao Yu had utilized this fact very well.

The Zhou Family, one of Donglin’s wealthiest seven, crumbled in just one day, with all their assets seized—a shocking turnaround that left many sighing in disbelief.

The upper echelons of society secretly spread the word that this incident was orchestrated by Tangyu in retaliation, a response to the Zhou Family’s actions, a warning shot, and a reevaluation of Tangyu by Donglin’s elite, who realized he wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He was not an easy target, and the Zhou Family was a vivid warning to all. Nearly every influential group understood one thing clearly: Tangyu was not to be provoked, for those who did had no good end.

Tangyu felt great satisfaction reading some of the messages online.

It was only then that Lin Feifei and Guo Momo understood why Tangyu was in such a good mood. It turned out that he had taken down the Zhou Family. Both women were happy for Tangyu and learned from his own account that the assassin ambush was the Zhou Family’s doing. Naturally, they both despised the Zhou Family intensely.

Having dealt with the Zhou Family, Tangyu called for Momo to start preparing dinner. Today, they had to celebrate in a small way.
