X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 143 - 138: Moving Through the Field of Play, Untouched by a Single Leaf

Chapter 143: Chapter 138: Moving Through the Field of Play, Untouched by a Single Leaf

After hanging up the phone, Wang Bingbing suddenly felt that something was amiss. She shot up to her feet and scanned the room which was eerily empty. Ye Tian, who just a moment ago had wanted to dominate her, had vanished without a trace.

"Ye Tian? Where are you?" Wang Bingbing called out tentatively.

The room was incredibly quiet, the only sound was the clacking of the heater; no one responded to her.

"Fantastic, that damn Demon Lord of Mayhem finally left, I’m free at last, hahaha!" Wang Bingbing rejoiced, jumping up in excitement before smacking her forehead in realization: "Oh no, not good, I don’t have a single penny on me, how am I supposed to get back to the city?!"

She dashed to the window and shouted, "Ye Tian, come back! Hurry back! What am I going to do without you?" She suddenly realized that it was better when Ye Tian was by her side.

Wang Bingbing stomped her feet in frustration, cursing her luck for being abandoned in this broken place. She’d had one misfortune after another today.

Just now, on the phone, she had heard the report from her subordinates and her face darkened immediately.

That bastard Wang Qian had once again caused trouble for her, leading a group to smash up eight of her hotels, seven karaoke bars, not to mention internet cafes; but the most severe loss was to her privately owned club which had suddenly caught fire. By the time the fire department arrived, the club had been reduced to ashes, resulting in a direct loss of thirty million. If she were to count the subsequent losses, she’d be down by at least fifty million.

Furthermore, Wang Bingbing’s underground influence in Jiang City had taken a heavy blow, with many of her brothers injured and many territories snatched away.

This had cost her half of her empire, leaving her control over the Dark World reduced to a mere fifth of its usual extent.

While the tangible losses of her actual businesses could be calculated, the damage to her standing in the Dark World was immeasurable.

This time, Wang Qian’s sudden move had caused her catastrophic losses.

The angrier Wang Bingbing thought about it, the more she smashed things around, breaking everything in the small inn from the kettle to the TV, throwing them to the ground. When the Ice Snow Queen was furious, she’d smash anything in sight without caring about the cost.

"Wang Qian, I swear I won’t rest until I’ve dealt with you!" Wang Bingbing raged.

The door to the small inn’s room suddenly burst open and the plump landlady walked in. She glanced at the chaos, the kettle and TV lying in a corner and broken pieces everywhere, and her eyes bulged in shock.

"Did you break these? You little vixen!" The landlady demanded, hands on her hips, her chubby cheeks quivering and her plump hand reaching out: "Pay up! You fox spirit!"

Wang Bingbing was instantly enraged. She was the almighty Ice Snow Queen. It was one thing for her to put up with Ye Tian, but this old hag dared to challenge her? After dealing with so much crap these past days, she was looking for someone to vent her anger on, and this woman had just volunteered.

"Come here, I will pay you now." Wang Bingbing sneered, staring at the landlady.

The landlady actually believed her and went over to grab the money, but Wang Bingbing snorted coldly, slapping the woman across the face and followed it up with a swift kick between her legs that doubled her over.

Bending down, Wang Bingbing patted the landlady’s chubby face and asked icily, "Still want your money?"

It’s the ruffians and local bullies that run places like this, and the landlady was a shameless rogue who didn’t hesitate to scam her patrons. Unfortunately for her, she had just encountered Wang Bingbing.

Having a stronghold in half of Jiang City’s underworld, Wang Bingbing dealt with hooligans routinely and was more than capable of handling lowlifes like the landlady.

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Bingbing left the small inn, but this time she had over 2000 yuan in her pocket, obtained through her particular set of skills.

There were plenty of illegal cabs around the outskirts of town, and being a stunning woman, Wang Bingbing easily hailed a ride back to the city.

The cab raced down the dirt road while Wang Bingbing was lying in the back, phoning her subordinates to arrange for a pickup. Just as she finished the call, her phone rang again with an unfamiliar number showing up.

After a brief hesitation, Wang Bingbing answered the call.

An annoying voice came through the phone, one that Wang Bingbing recognized—it was that bastard Wang Qian.

She didn’t bother with pleasantries and started cursing, "Wang Qian you asshole, you dare smash up my places, you should know the consequences of crossing me!"

Wang Qian’s effeminate voice came through the other end, "Aww, my dear little cousin, haven’t seen you in just a few days and you’re still so hot-tempered. Giggle, giggle, your big cousin really feels for you, losing seventy or eighty million just like that. You’ve really lost it all, oh my."

Wang Bingbing was livid, jumping up in fury, "You ****** are complete scum! You dare to lay your hands on me, aren’t you afraid of our family’s punishment?! And let me tell you, I haven’t settled this debt with you yet, I will make you pay eventually!"

The fury of the Ice Snow Queen was not to be underestimated. Even the cab driver was terrified, thinking to himself how such a pretty girl could be so aggressive—it turned out she was a true tomboy.

This was the fourth time Wang Qian had caused trouble for her. The first two times, thanks to Mr. Hungry Tiger, Wang Bingbing had managed to escape unscathed.

But this time, instead of directly targeting Wang Bingbing’s people, Wang Qian chose to dismantle her power base, clipping her wings and causing her serious damage.

Wang Qian’s sickly sweet voice came through the receiver again, "My dear cousin, the best is yet to come. This was just a little appetizer from your dear cousin. Giggle, giggle, just wait for it. I heard Mr. Hungry Tiger has left Jiang City. Oh, my dear cousin, make sure you bring enough bodyguards with you when you go out from now on. Oops, I almost forgot, all your underlings are useless, might as well not bother, hahaha!"

Wang Bingbing, inherently hot-tempered, was utterly enraged by his provocation.

"Wang Qian, you bastard, do you not fear retribution for your actions? I won’t rest until you’re dead! Not until you’re dead!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my dear little cousin," Wang Qian sneered with a lecherous tone, "it seems your cousin likes seeing you angry. Don’t blame me for not warning you, if you’re scared, you can come to my house and beg for mercy. It’s been a long while since I last saw you, after all. We can have a good time; my bed is quite big, hahaha."

Bingbing was livid, cursing at her phone with the most offensive words she knew. When dealing with an animal like Wang Qian, she didn’t hold back at all.

Unfortunately, Wang Qian had hung up the phone. When she tried calling him again, astonishingly, he had turned off his phone. Clearly, he had prepared this phone specifically to torment her and turned it off after, leaving her no outlet for her rage.

The dilapidated car left the country dirt roads behind and finally reached the paved highway.

After her outburst, Wang Bingbing quieted down and sank into deep thought.

Initially, she had planned to use Mr. Hungry Tiger’s might to eliminate the thorn in her side, Wang Qian, but because of Ye Tian, Mr. Hungry Tiger had already left Jiang City.

This upset all her previous plans.

From the current situation, things looked extremely unfavorable for Wang Bingbing. With each move by Wang Qian to crush her, her power dwindled time and again, especially this time — half of the underworld network that Bingbing had painstakingly built over the years had been annihilated by Wang Qian.

The vast underground empire she built as the Ice Snow Queen seemed to march towards decline and extinction, with its days of glory far behind and dusk approaching.

"I can’t let it end like this! I must have my revenge!" Wang Bingbing bit her lip firmly.

In contrast, Wang Qian’s power had unprecedentedly swelled after absorbing her organization and forces. With Wang Bingbing now isolated and weak, and no Great General at her disposal, turning the tables seemed as impossible as scaling the heavens.

"Experts, what I lack isn’t manpower or financial resources, but real experts! Superb experts who can take on a hundred men single-handedly!"

Bingbing may have been prone to fly into rages, but she was not witless. She quickly grasped the crux of the matter.

If she had a top-notch expert like Mr. Hungry Tiger at her command, all her problems would dissolve effortlessly. The destroyed forces could be rebuilt, and the lost territories could be reclaimed.

Alas, Mr. Hungry Tiger had already left Jiang City.

Moreover, the Demon Lord of Mayhem had decreed that without his permission, Mr. Hungry Tiger was forbidden to set foot in Jiang City for all eternity. In the Dark World, the Demon Lord’s words were unquestionable divine commands that one could only obey.

Thinking of Ye Tian, that reclusive powerhouse, Wang Bingbing’s eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

Upon reflection, though she and Ye Tian had several unpleasant encounters, he never once took her life, an easy feat for someone like him.

This indicated that Ye Tian still held some affection for her; otherwise, she would not still be alive.

As Bingbing recalled the details of her time with Ye Tian, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She had to admit to herself that she indeed felt something out of the ordinary for him.

Every time she encountered Ye Tian, she would inexplicably become angry. Yet, when she couldn’t see him, she would constantly ponder and devise ways to find out what he was up to, only to end up causing trouble for him.

"Could it be, could it be that I like him...?" Wang Bingbing could hardly believe her own conclusion.

"That’s impossible, impossible. That bastard Ye Tian, who only knows how to bully me, I could never like someone like him," Bingbing shook her head vehemently.

"I’ve always been a player, untouched by others. It’s just that I appreciate Ye Tian’s capabilities and wanted to use him to eliminate Wang Qian, that’s all. The thought of liking him is ridiculous. Whoever likes Ye Tian is a fool."

Wang Bingbing felt something was wrong with her declaration and promptly shook her head to contradict herself, "Pah, pah, pah, ignore what I just said. What’s wrong with liking a man? Surely, you don’t expect me to become a lesbian."

Ye Tian’s abilities were far superior to Mr. Hungry Tiger’s. Convincing him to help her would make eliminating Wang Qian easy. This was what she contemplated.

With such thoughts, Wang Bingbing returned to Jiang City once more.

Around two in the afternoon, Ye Tian drove back to Dihao Building, parked the McLaren at the entrance of the company, and took the elevator up.

Compared to the earlier chaos, the headquarters were now tidy and clean, with bloodstains wiped off the floor and broken glass collected in trash bins. The company had even installed a new culture wall.

Two security guards stood at the door, equipped with defensive T-shaped batons, pepper spray on their belts, and high-strength polycarbonate shields, making them fully armed.

The security brothers greeted Ye Tian as soon as they saw him.
