Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 1332: Xu Renjie’s Trump Card

The sudden scene startled everyone, and those brought by Xu Renjie immediately wanted to resist.

But amidst a burst of gunfire, those few people hadn’t even begun to resist before they fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the others dared not act rashly.

Xu Renjie’s face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move.

"Old... old man, who are these people? Where did you get them from? I never knew you had such a force at your disposal?"

Xu Renjie asked incredulously.

"The ginger gets spicier as it ages. Second Son, there are a lot of things you don’t know yet! Someone, take this unfilial son of mine away and put him under house arrest."

Xu Shichang scoffed coldly.

No matter what, Xu Renjie was still his son. Although he was extremely disappointed with what the latter had done, even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, let alone a human?

Before deciding how to deal with the latter, he intended to keep Xu Renjie imprisoned and not see him.

With the appearance of this group, the situation between the parties was immediately reversed.

Xu Renjie’s face flickered with uncertainty. Seeing someone coming to grab his arm, he stood silent for a moment and suddenly let out a low chuckle.

"Heh, I guessed a long time ago that you’re not as simple as you seem, old man... Luckily, I made some preparations in advance. Look, who is she?"

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone, full of smugness, and tossed it towards Xu Shichang.

However, before the phone could be thrown, the guard in front snatched it away.

The guard inspected it carefully, found no abnormalities as it was just an ordinary phone, and then handed it over to Xu Shichang.

Opening the phone in confusion, he found only a video file inside.

Xu Shichang clicked on the video file, and the phone screen immediately played a video showing a strange villa surrounded by a number of guards and patrols, but some of their faces looked very familiar to him.

Aren’t these bodyguards from the Xu family?

Just as he was wondering, a familiar silhouette suddenly appeared on the screen—it was Xu Lingyue.

In that instant, Xu Shichang immediately understood what had happened!

Looking at Xu Renjie with a sullen face, he shouted angrily, "Beast! You unfilial son, you’ve even kidnapped your own niece; do you have no moral compass in what you do?"

At this point, there was nothing left to hide. Xu Renjie bluntly revealed his cards, "Old man, I’m giving you two hours to consider. Within these two hours, if you relinquish the position of Family Head, then I’ll naturally release your granddaughter unharmed! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’ve got no problem killing you, so what’s a little niece in comparison?"

Having Xu Lingyue as a hostage made Xu Shichang wary, and Xu Renjie once again took control of the situation.

Leaving these words, Xu Renjie walked out of the villa with his men, leaving Xu Shichang time to think it over.

But Xu Renjie’s group didn’t dare to be too arrogant, as that mysterious group of bodyguards kept closely following them, monitoring them at all times.

With Xu Renjie and his men gone, the room fell into silence.

Neither Xu Shichang nor Xu Renhai, the father and son, said a word.

After all, the situation had erupted so suddenly, and no one expected Xu Renjie to be so deranged as to kidnap his own niece!

The two of them were caught completely off guard.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

After a long while, Xu Shichang sighed deeply, wearing a desolate expression, and said to Xu Renhai, "If I were twenty years younger, I wouldn’t have to think twice about this. Alas, but now, I’m old... Eldest, after I’ve made my decision, take Lingyue and leave the Xu family, the farther the better."

"Father, you..."

Hearing the old man’s words, Xu Renhai was taken aback and quickly said, "Father, you want to give the position of Family Head to that bastard Second Bro? Absolutely not. The Xu family will be completely destroyed in his hands."

Xu Shichang smiled wryly, "Destroyed, let it be destroyed! As if it never existed."

"That’s impossible, Father! The Xu family is your life’s work; you can’t let it be ruined by Second Bro." Xu Renhai said solemnly.

"What else can we do? Do you want me to watch Lingyue being killed by that unfilial son with my own eyes? Renhai, I won’t live much longer, and before I pass, I don’t want to see any more family harming family. I don’t want to see the Xu family tearing itself apart. Do you understand me?"

Xu Shichang, his face weathered and helpless, spoke in a pleading tone.

"Father, don’t be so pessimistic! I know Second Bro’s personality very well—he’s very afraid of death. Although he puts up a tough front, if we use his life as leverage to threaten him to release Lingyue, I’m sure Second Bro will comply," Xu Renhai said after a moment’s thought.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shichang shook his head and said, "You’re wrong. Things have come to this point; Second Bro has no way out. This time, he won’t yield; he’s already prepared for a desperate end! He can gamble with his life, but can we afford to? If we lose, Lingyue won’t survive!"

Xu Renhai gritted his teeth, suddenly resolute, and said, "Father, if it really comes to that, we should sacrifice Lingyue! No matter what, she’s making a contribution to the family. We can’t let the Xu family fall into Xu Renjie’s hands..."

"Nonsense! She is your own daughter. How can you, as a father, bear it? I, as a grandfather, cannot bear it."

Xu Shichang sternly rebuked, "In my heart, the Xu family is important, but not more important than Lingyue! Okay, there’s no need to say more on this matter; we’ll do as I’ve decided! Since Second Bro wants to be the Family Head, I’ll give it to him."

Hearing this, Xu Renhai opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, eventually letting out a silent sigh.

"Where the hell did Ye Xuan go? I told him to protect Lingyue, and yet now he’s nowhere to be found. If it weren’t for him being absent, Lingyue wouldn’t have been caught?"

He said with a face full of resentment.

Xu Shichang shook his head and said, "If my guess is right, Mr. Ye is probably in a dire situation."

"Father, are you saying even Mr. Ye..."

"As things stand, only Mr. Ye can cure the poison in me. If you were Xu Renjie, would you let Mr. Ye survive? In the end, it’s us who doomed Mr. Ye!"

Xu Shichang, his face full of resigned grief, sighed as he spoke. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It was at this moment that Xu Renhai understood why Xu Shichang made such a decision! Without Ye Xuan to detoxify him, it wouldn’t be long before he succumbed to the poison.

"Go and call Second Bro in!" Xu Shichang instructed calmly.

Before long, Xu Renjie walked in, beaming with joy.

"Old man, have you considered my request?" he asked with a grin.

Xu Shichang looked at him indifferently and said, "There’s no problem with me relinquishing the position of Family Head to you. But you must agree to a few conditions."
