Miraculous Doctor in Flower City-Chapter 387

At ten in the morning, Zhuo Tianming lazily got out of bed.

Then, under the tender service of a charming female assistant, he began to wash up.

After that, there was a delicate breakfast.

The chef brought from Hu City knew his tastes very well.

There were eight dishes in total, each one a favorite of Zhuo Tianming's.

But Zhuo Tianming only took a few bites of each dish.

After eating, the female assistant cautiously approached with a silk wet wipe to wipe the grease off Zhuo Tianming's mouth.

He pursed his lips, stood up slowly, and headed to the study.

The male assistant in black at the door had already prepared all the materials and was waiting respectfully.

"Young Master, this is what I organized after that group of people wrote last night. Many of them indeed are Liu Sanming's weak points."

"Hmm."

Zhuo Tianming took it, pushed the door, and entered the study.

Meanwhile, the male and female assistants only dared to wait outside.

As the fourth young master of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Tianming was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He may not have great abilities, but he has a terrible temper.

Therefore, his subordinates kept his living habits firmly in mind and dared not touch them.

For example, no one could enter the study unless summoned by Zhuo Tianming.

Zhuo Tianming sat on the comfortable executive chair, leaned back with his legs crossed, and glanced through the expanded ten-page document.

The so-called weak points mainly fell into three categories.

Family, friends, assets.

But it didn't mention his cultivation.

As one of the top five figures around Sea City, people in the Dao world generally believe that Liu Sanming's cultivation has reached the Realm of the Dao King.

At this realm, one can cultivate True Qi within the body, capable of killing across distances.

There are also spells and Daoist skills to be paired.

Ordinary means can no longer kill him; if an attack fails and he escapes, it's like having a hidden gun pointed at you from the shadows.

Revenge could come at any time.

But Zhuo Tianming has a fatal flaw, which is that he loves face.

Or rather, he is too proud to use certain tactics.

Therefore, the idea of kidnapping Liu Sanming's woman to threaten him was immediately dismissed from his mind.

Only two means were left: business warfare or a direct confrontation.

But unfortunately, Zhuo Tianming is not good at business warfare either.

After some thought, he asked the male assistant to make a copy of the document.

Then he handed the copy to the female assistant.

"Take this document to see Liu Sanming, tell him why I'm here in Sea City, and let him choose whether to oppose me or obediently hand over the Divine Origin Association's assets."

Zhuo Tianming said coldly.

The female assistant was named Que Lan, a nickname given to her by Zhuo Tianming.

In fact, the female assistant didn't know what Que Lan meant, just felt it was artsy.

Upon hearing this, Que Lan couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.

But she dared not refuse.

"At your command, Young Master, I'll handle it right away."

Que Lan carefully said and nodded to carry out the task.

The male assistant was named Li Jie and accompanied Zhuo Tianming alongside Que Lan.

Although they dared not fall in love, they developed feelings over time.

Seeing Que Lan heading out alone to meet Liu Sanming, Li Jie was a bit nervous.

He dared not speak out.

Otherwise, not only would he annoy Zhuo Tianming, but he might also get their private affair discovered.

Que Lan was Zhuo Tianming's female assistant and also his plaything.

The woman of a wealthy man might never gain a formal status for life, but others wouldn't dare to lay a finger on her.

"According to the information, Liu Sanming started from Massage City. I'm curious what kind of Massage City can produce a Daoist King-level expert. You come with me to give it a try."

Zhuo Tianming said with a laugh, got up, and took Li Jie out.

...

On the other hand, after Liu Sanming and Zhao Xue finished their meal, both had drunk a lot. Zhao Xue was drunk and lay weakly in Liu Sanming's arms.

Liu Sanming, however, was fine.

He originally wanted to have some fun with Zhao Xue after the meal, but seeing her drunk, he lost the idea.

Soon, Liu Sanming carried Zhao Xue out to the car.

After finding a driver, they returned to the wooden building. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Once there, Liu Sanming had Lin Meiqi carry Zhao Xue to the guest room and wiped her body, changed her clothes, and put on sleepwear.

Before he could go upstairs to rest, he received a call from an unknown person.

It was Que Lan.

"I'd like to talk to you. You should have heard the fourth young master of the Zhuo family has come to Sea City, right?"

"Are you coming to me, or should I come to you?"

Liu Sanming slightly hesitated and didn't refuse.

Last night, he received calls and messages from Li Nanhu and Fu Long.

He had already learned of this matter.

Actually, before, the elder of the Divine Origin Association, Zhou Hengfei, and Zhang Qianhe, also informed him.

They said the Divine Origin Association has deep interests related to the Zhuo family in Hu City.

But what specific interests they were, even the two couldn't guess.

These secrets were handled by Tianfu Daoist himself, and outsiders were kept in the dark.

Now, seeing someone from the Zhuo family arrive and gather information on his weaknesses through many of his enemies, Liu Sanming was not surprised.

Moreover, Liu Sanming was no longer the same as before, and he was not afraid of the other party making a move.

If provoked, at worst, it would be a showdown.

"I'll come to you then."

Que Lan said.

Liu Sanming nodded.

About half an hour later, the two met in a private room at the villa.

Que Lan was dressed in professional women's attire — black trousers, black blazer, and white shirt, wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch, with a piece of imperial green jade pendant around her neck.

Though the attire seemed simple, the accessories were worth millions.

The Zhuo family was indeed extraordinary, wealthy beyond measure.

Amidst Liu Sanming's admiration, he took the initiative to pour Que Lan a cup of tea.

For him, resolving this matter peacefully was the first choice for everyone.

If the other party insisted on forcing him, then there was only the second option: a life-and-death struggle.

So, it was nothing for him to take the initiative in pouring tea. As someone from humble beginnings, Liu Sanming didn't have a deep obsession with so-called dignity and face.

A tree thrives by moving to the right place; people thrive by moving to the right environment.

Being adaptable, in Liu Sanming's view, was the best philosophy.

"How should I address you?"

Liu Sanming asked with a smile, pouring himself a cup of tea too.

"Que Lan, Que as in palace, Lan as in mountain mist."

Que Lan replied with a faint smile.

Slightly relieved inwardly.

She had always thought Liu Sanming was a boor, but now he seemed to have some gentlemanly demeanor.

"I heard last night that the fourth young master of the Zhuo family had come to Sea City and investigated me. To be noticed by such a big figure is quite flattering. What does your young master want from me?"

Liu Sanming feigned ignorance.

"Mr. Liu should be aware, right? The Divine Origin Association actually has assets from the Zhuo family and an important collaboration with the Zhuo family. You've taken over the Divine Origin Association without discussing it with the Zhuo family. Do you think the Zhuo family will take this lying down?"

Que Lan didn't hold back, directly pointing out the conflict of interest.

Hearing this, Liu Sanming chuckled.

"I see, so what does the Zhuo family want to do, take everything back?"

"What the Zhuo family means is to take everything back. If Mr. Liu is sensible, we can also discuss cooperation. You control the Divine Origin Association while the Zhuo family retains part of the interest, and the Divine Origin Association should serve the Zhuo family's subsequent layouts in Sea City."

Que Lan said seriously.

As if becoming Zhuo Tianming's spokesperson.

After she finished speaking, Liu Sanming couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Subsequent layouts in Sea City?

Could there be any changes in Sea City?

Liu Sanming didn't think that the small Sea City was worth such serious treatment from the Zhuo family.

It seems something is going on!
