Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 882 - 885: Forcing the Palace

After receiving Xia Liu’s reply, Lina cheerfully said goodbye.

Her original goal was to have Xia Liu teach her how to become stronger.

Being able to give her body was the best outcome.

But since Xia Liu looked down on her, she couldn’t say anything.

With Xia Liu’s status, only someone like Guo Man could be worthy of him.

Not long after, Xia Liu rode the elevator downstairs.

At a certain corner, Guo Man was working hard to calm her emotions.

So it turned out Xia Liu liked her.

Of course, this couldn’t be too certain.

After all, this could have been his way of rejecting Lina.

However, the fact that he said it showed that he might have some feelings for her deep down.

And the fact that he rejected Lina so straightforwardly? That alone was truly admirable.

Her judgment was undoubtedly correct!

"Xia Liu, rest assured, even if I have to give up everything, I will change your mind!"

Looking in the direction where Xia Liu disappeared, Guo Man stretched out her delicate hand. Murmuring softly, her hand clenched into a fist.

This was her vow—she had to accomplish it!

During the days Lante had been around, he had spent his days alongside Xia Liu.

Guo Man often hung around the two, whether she had an excuse to or not.

What can you say? At this point, she paid special attention to anything concerning Xia Liu.

If anyone could chat with her about Xia Liu’s childhood, that would be even more interesting.

This time, Lante’s visit came with special training from Xia Liu, and his eloquence was unmatched.

The topics in their conversations were either his life-and-death experiences in Africa with Xia Liu

or the challenges he had faced after taking charge of the Ross Family.

Guo Man always listened attentively.

Lante and Xia Liu didn’t show any intention of driving her away, so she stayed shamelessly by their side.

She had already made up her mind—if she wanted Xia Liu to accept her, she had to become thick-skinned.

Finally, Lante returned home.

Xia Liu and Guo Man personally sent him off at the military district.

It was an advanced combat aircraft, newly developed in America.

As the plane disappeared into the horizon, Guo Man sighed deeply.

Xia Liu truly was fortunate.

To have forged a bond with someone as terrifying as Lante.

Through her observations over the past few days, she discovered that the relationship between the two was startlingly close.

Closer even than real brothers.

This was undoubtedly a precious friendship forged through life-and-death experiences.

Zhuge Yingtian also had high praise for Lante.

And he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Xia Liu and Lante.

Of course, there would naturally be some skepticism.

After all, Lante’s identity was far too exceptional.

Usually, aircraft of that caliber couldn’t cross Huaxia’s domain.

But with Lante onboard, the scenario was different.

The mainland might have been off-limits, but Harbor City allowed access.

"Little Man, Xia Liu is no ordinary person. I understand your feelings, but before you act on anything, think it through carefully. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who regrets it."

This was what Zhuge Yingtian discreetly told Guo Man before she returned.

Guo Man didn’t take Zhuge Yingtian’s warning seriously.

She brushed it off lightly.

From the moment she met Xia Liu, she had been observing him.

Over the course of a month, she had come to fully understand him.

Except for his body, which she hadn’t explored yet.

This filled her with confidence.

As long as she put enough effort in, she could certainly melt this noble existence.

The day after Lante returned, a tense atmosphere enveloped every department and company under the Guo Corporation.

They had received a notice that the group was convening a board meeting.

The so-called "board meeting" was simply a gathering of the Guo Family’s higher-ups.

After all, the Guo Family didn’t outright own the Guo Family Group.

The main purpose of this meeting? To determine positions within the company.

And this time, every effort was directed at Guo Man!

Her previous mistakes had resulted in losses of over thirty billion for the Guo Family Group—and that was just the short-term impact.

From a cumulative perspective, this type of error brought losses on a terrifying scale.

Ordinary people wouldn’t calculate it this way.

But those with ulterior motives seized the opportunity to smear her recklessly.

If they could remove Guo Man from the president’s seat, they would claim victory.

And the mastermind behind this? Naturally, it was Guo Liang.

When Guo Liang was appointed as the president of the Guo Family Group,

he had already gained countless supporters.

Calling for a board meeting to criticize Guo Man was an effortless endeavor.

Previously, Guo Liang had held back due to concerns about Guo Man’s mother, Guo Fanghua.

Ultimately, Guo Man proved herself capable, making a promise in front of everyone to secure collaborations within a short period and recover the lost funds.

This promise was unanimously agreed upon.

As members of the Guo Family, they naturally understood the standing and competence of Guo Man’s mother.

Being the daughter of Guo Fanghua made her immune to direct coercion.

Instead, they used enticing methods to lure her into defeat, step by step.

And today marked a critical moment to decide victory or defeat.

The deadline had arrived.

They absolutely didn’t believe Guo Man could negotiate deals worth tens of billions in such a short time.

It was simply unrealistic.

Upon arriving at the company, Guo Man hastily parted ways with Xia Liu, citing her busy schedule and the need to quickly go upstairs, telling him to enjoy himself downstairs.

Xia Liu didn’t care much about corporate affairs.

Moreover, with the Guo Family Group set to collaborate with Lante, Guo Man was guaranteed to make a name for herself in Harbor City this time.

Who would have guessed that at this moment, Guo Liang was plotting a coup with others?

For no apparent reason, Xia Liu wandered into the security office to chat idly with the captain and Fengzi.

The office was one of the few places he frequented, with the security office being his most visited spot.

"Fengzi, why does it feel like none of the other security personnel are around? Did they all leave for something exciting?"

Looking at a few guards under Young Master Liao’s command, Xia Liu asked curiously.

"Brother! Don’t you know what day it is today?"

Fengzi looked at Xia Liu with a surprised expression, puzzled as to why he was here at this particular time.

"Is today special for some reason?"

Xia Liu was confused. Could today be some important day in Harbor City, with most people taking the day off, and those working earning double wages?

"Of course! The former president is leading a group of Guo Family leaders here for a coup today."

Fengzi said smugly, "But our President Guo must have fulfilled her prior commitment. Guo Liang and those leaders are definitely going to eat dirt."

At first, Fengzi didn’t recognize Lante, but after asking around, he realized the significance behind the name.

Lante represented influence—a terrifying figure in the business world.

That Lante could show up here, and with such a close relationship with Xia Liu?

There was no doubt he would help Guo Man.

Thus, Guo Man’s promise could be easily fulfilled.

"I see."

Xia Liu nodded blankly. No wonder Guo Man had hurried upstairs.

The deadline was here, and Guo Liang had brought people to stage a coup.

But there was no way Guo Man could be toppled by the former president of the Guo Family Group.

Today would only serve as a day for Guo Man to shine and beat those shameless people to the ground.
