Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 1352: Rivers and Mountains Pavilion, Gathering of All Sides

Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352: Rivers and Mountains Pavilion, Gathering of All Sides

Shanhe Tower is a long-established restaurant in Haogang, renowned for many years. It’s usually bustling with business, requiring reservations at least a week in advance to dine here.

But today, outside Shanhe Tower, it seems unusually quiet.

Of course, this isn’t too surprising, as even the busiest restaurants have their quiet moments. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

What truly shocks everyone is the sight of over ten luxury cars parked outside Shanhe Tower, cars one might only see in legends, and the simplicity of their license plates is intimidating.

Moreover, the area around Shanhe Tower has been cordoned off by nearly a hundred police officers, and inside their perimeter, there are dozens of burly bodyguards in black uniforms and sunglasses, with bulging waistlines clearly indicating they are armed.

Seeing such a scene, the crowd outside couldn’t help but speculate which bigshot is dining at Shanhe Tower today?

Not only did they deploy so many police, but also so many bodyguards; this spectacle is simply terrifying!

In stark contrast to the lively atmosphere outside Shanhe Tower, the large private room on the third floor inside is particularly solemn.

The room is divided into three groups. One is an elderly man with a slightly balding head, sitting with his eyes half-closed, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

Another group consists of the Family Heads of the four major families and their bodyguards, and the last group is Xu Shichang and Ye Xuan.

The standoff between the three groups resembles a three-way power struggle.

At this moment, the balding elder spoke: "Everyone, I am Qin He, my status isn’t high, but I am the second Elder of Qin Sect. Today, I have been sent to handle the matters of your five families, so if there’s anything you wish to say, feel free to speak openly."

Upon hearing Qin He mention he’s the second Elder of Qin Sect, almost everyone was shocked, their gaze towards Qin He becoming respectful.

Yet, some things still need to be said.

The Family Head of Du Family, Du Zhong, was the first to speak: "Elder Qin, we’re dissatisfied in our hearts."

Qin He glanced at Du Zhong and asked, "Why are you dissatisfied?"

Du Zhong said aggrievedly: "If it weren’t for Qin Sect’s intervention this time, we would have already destroyed the Xu Family! Consequently, all four families have suffered heavy losses."

"Indeed, Elder Qin, we have lost at least tens of billions this time."

"In just one more week, we could have completely wiped out Xu Family, just short of a week!"

With Du Zhong’s lead, the Family Heads of other families also complained one after another.

Hmph!

At this moment, Qin He suddenly let out a cold snort.

Hearing this sound, the Family Heads of the four families immediately changed complexion, and the complaints ceased abruptly.

Qin He said blandly: "Listening to you all, it seems my Qin Sect was wrong in our actions, right?"

Upon hearing this, He Hongshan and the others quickly said they dared not.

Qin He mocked: "You don’t need to say it; I can guess your thoughts. It’s nothing more than blaming Qin Sect for causing you losses. Qin Sect has already declared that Haogang must remain stable. If you could wipe out Xu Family silently, Qin Sect naturally wouldn’t interfere, but can you achieve that?"

Hearing this, Du Zhong promptly said: "Second Elder, we four families united this time. Before Qin Sect arrived, we were already encircling Xu Family so tightly that even if Xu Family wanted mutual destruction, they wouldn’t have had the chance, naturally we could eradicate Xu Family silently."

Qin He snorted lightly, a hint of mockery appearing on his face.

He looked at the other Family Heads beside Du Zhong, smiled and asked: "Do you all think the same?"

Although the other Family Heads didn’t speak, their expressions showed they agreed with Du Zhong’s statement.

Qin He sighed and said: "You are truly naive! Do you really think a family that stands equal to yours has such limited countermeasures? Forget it, see for yourselves!"

As he spoke, he turned on the television on the wall, displaying a map of Haogang.

On this map, densely packed red dots were flashing constantly.

Qin He said: "Do you see these red dots? Each dot represents ten kilograms of remote-controlled explosives. Once Xu Family is obliterated, these explosive initiation procedures will be activated, and I think you can imagine the consequence."

Hiss!

Seeing these red dots, the other Family Heads involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

They had already realized the locations of these red dots were essentially their own family estates and the corporations controlled by their families. If these bombs explode, even if Xu Family is annihilated, they too would suffer severe damage, with the possibility of complete destruction if unlucky.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but look at the expressionless Xu Shichang, shocked in their hearts. This old man is truly ruthless!

The method of mutual destruction is indeed terrifying.

At this moment, they even felt somewhat thankful for Qin Sect stepping in; otherwise, their losses might have exceeded their gains.

Zheng Jun glared angrily at Xu Shichang, saying: "Old Xu, you’re too vicious!"

He had personally seen a bomb right beneath his villa, and if it exploded, he would be the first to die!

No wonder he was so furious.

Xu Shichang spoke indifferently: "If Xu Family is eliminated, I have nothing left to hold onto anymore. If worse comes to worst, mutual destruction it is. After my death, why should I care about the flood waters?"

For a moment, the Family Heads were stunned by Xu Shichang’s casual tone, discerning his determination for mutual destruction in his words.

This made them increasingly wary of Xu Shichang in their hearts.

At this moment, Qin He continued: "Do you all still think you can eliminate Xu Family silently?"

This time, they fell into silence, reality having dealt them a harsh blow.

At this moment, Du Zhong said seriously: "Elder Qin, what do you propose we do? We four families have suffered such losses in manpower and resources for this operation, should it all be in vain? If possible, I hope Xu Family could compensate for the losses we incurred."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shichang angrily retorted: "Damn it, stop spouting nonsense. Your four families lost manpower and resources; does that mean Xu Family suffered no loss? It seems Xu Family suffered even more, doesn’t it? As I said, if you still wish to continue fighting, I, Xu Shichang, will see it through to the end. In the end, it’s just mutual destruction, as for compensating losses, that is absolutely out of the question, abandon that thought!"

Neither side dared to back down, and soon they were in a heated argument.

Instantly, the private room became chaotic.

Ye Xuan meanwhile looked at Xu Shichang with a surprised gaze, not expecting this old man to be so articulate, confronting the four Family Heads without losing ground, his knack for insults perhaps rivals even those street vendors.

"I’m here for you to settle grievances, not to bicker,"

Accompanied by Qin He’s shout, the private room instantly quieted down.

"If push comes to shove, how about I propose a solution?"

At this moment, Ye Xuan calmly said.
