Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

As soon as Xu Ke spoke, he not only infuriated the doctor but also incensed the several middle-aged female nurses and the male assistant behind him.

"The man standing before you is the renowned Doctor Yang Shoukang of Tianhai, revered as a Grandmaster of The Medical Path and famous for his legendary Seven-Star Exquisite Needle technique."

"Prominent Tianhai doctors, like Zhou Family Patriarch Zhou Hongsheng and Zhang Qiming, must address Elder Yang with the utmost respect."

"In the past, top hospitals in Long Capital, Jiangnan, and various provincial capitals have all invited Doctor Yang Shoukang to be their dean, offering him extremely generous terms."

"But Doctor Yang Shoukang, a man of great benevolence and righteousness, declined all of them to honor his promise to Elder Patriarch Wang."

"This is a problem that even Doctor Yang Shoukang can't solve. Do you really think you can?"

"Who do you think you are?"

They were absolutely furious.

Facing a top-tier doctor like Yang Shoukang, how dare Xu Ke make such an outrageous statement? And 'leave the rest to me'? Who gave him the nerve to say such a thing!

At that moment, hearing their praises, a flicker of pride naturally showed in the white-haired Yang Shoukang's eyes. But his focus remained on Wang Yu, who was lying on the bed.

"You should leave now. I won't hold you responsible for this interruption," he said coolly. "But if anything happens to Wang Yu, neither you nor I can bear the consequences. I would be too ashamed to face Jiang Nian in the afterlife."

He wasn't serving as a doctor for the Wang Family because of the high salary. It was because Wang Jiangnian had shown him great kindness, which was why he had remained here for all these years. Now that Wang Jiangnian's sister was in danger, how could he possibly allow someone else to come in and make a mess of things?

If he knew that Xu Ke was the one who had injured Wang Yu, his reaction would likely have been even more violent.

Previously composed, Xu Ke couldn't help but take a second look at Yang Shoukang.

Yang Shoukang, he remembered him! His master had once praised him, saying his medical skills were decent. That was one of the few doctors his master had ever spoken highly of! However, his master had also mentioned his regret at losing contact with Yang Shoukang. He never expected that Doctor Yang had been with the Wang Family all this time.

With this in mind, Xu Ke nodded slightly. "Doctor Yang is right. But please step aside now, Doctor Yang."

The moment he finished speaking, everyone became furious.

Does this Xu Ke not understand plain language?

"I've already shown you deference out of respect for your position as the fiancé of the current Family Head Wang." Yang Shoukang's face suddenly darkened as a powerful fluctuation of the Innate Mid Stage erupted from his body. "If you continue to be obstinate, you are simply asking for trouble. I know you've reached the Postnatal Late Stage at a young age, but even so, you are no match for me!"

Xu Ke was even more astonished.

He never thought that besides his profound medical expertise, Yang Shoukang was also a powerful master of the Martial Path. To have achieved this at his age was extremely rare.

At this moment, Wang Wu, who was standing outside, hurriedly called out, "Doctor Yang, please just give Mister Xu a chance! I'll stake my life on it. Nothing will go wrong."

Wang Wu could only plead. In terms of raw power, he was indeed stronger than Yang Shoukang, but how could he dare to make a move against this Grandmaster of The Medical Path, a man whom Wang Jiangnian had invited here out of gratitude?

"What good is your head if Wang Yu dies?" Yang Shoukang retorted angrily. If I let Xu Ke treat her, she'll be dead before he's done. Taking your head then would just be another needless death, wouldn't it? It's better to stop him from even trying!

Wang Wu was speechless.

At that moment…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The bedside monitor blared an alarm again. Clearly, Wang Yu couldn't hold on much longer.

Xu Ke's expression sharpened. "Elder Yang, if you continue to block me, I will be forced to act."

Seeing the alarm, Yang Shoukang grew even more anxious, but hearing Xu Ke's threat, he exploded with thunderous rage. "How dare you! Impeding my rescue efforts with such ridiculous boasts! Get out of my sight!"

A palm shrouded in fierce True Qi shot straight toward Xu Ke's face. The might of an Innate Mid Stage expert was ferocious and overwhelming. The force of the gale alone, though not aimed at them, made the nurses behind him turn pale with fright.

Meanwhile, the male assistant was thrilled.

Finally, Elder Yang is going to send that arrogant punk flying!

Yang Shoukang assumed this single palm strike would be enough to make Xu Ke retreat from the emergency room. So, out of consideration for Wong Qifu, he had held back to avoid seriously injuring him. But to his surprise, Xu Ke didn't dodge. He met the attack head-on with a punch of his own!

Seeing this, Yang Shoukang became enraged. "Clueless fool!"

This time, he unleashed more True Qi, intending to injure Xu Ke.

As for the injury, I'll save Wang Yu first and treat him afterward.

BANG!

As fist and palm collided, Yang Shoukang's face filled with absolute shock.

How can this be?!

Xu Ke, who should have been sent flying, merely grunted and took a small step back, suffering only a minor disadvantage, but he remained firmly on his feet. Meanwhile, Yang Shoukang's expression shifted, revealing he hadn't gained the upper hand.

A storm of shock and disbelief raged in his heart.

Is this really just a Postnatal Late Stage practitioner? He's a monster!

The female nurses widened their eyes.

How is this possible? They had witnessed Elder Yang's martial arts before. His skills were terrifying—even many long-famous masters were no match for him. How could this frail-looking Xu Ke possibly be fighting on even terms with Elder Yang now?!

At this moment, Yang Shoukang was still determined to strike again, refusing to stop until he had driven Xu Ke from the room.

But Xu Ke pulled out a silver needle and declared, "Elder Yang, from our brief exchange, I can tell the True Qi in your body is in disarray. It's in a state of Seven-Star Retrograde. This proves that your legendary Seven-Star Exquisite Needle technique is incomplete! If you drive me out now, you can only continue to use this flawed technique. Doing so is just a waste of time. You won't be able to save Wang Yu."

As soon as he said this, Yang Shoukang, who had been about to attack, froze. His expression changed drastically as he flew into a rage. "What did you just say?!"

It was bad enough that Xu Ke refused to leave the emergency room. Now he was claiming that the needle technique he, Elder Yang, had prided himself on and used for so many years was incomplete? This was a blatant insult, accusing him of being ignorant of both medicine and acupuncture! As a Grandmaster of The Medical Path, how could he possibly accept such a claim?

The nearby nurses were indignant.

"Are you saying that this needle technique is useless?!"

"This very technique has saved many people in the Wang Family."

"Do you even know what you're talking about?"

Everyone was furious. Elder Yang is a Grandmaster of The Medical Path! How could the Seven-Star Exquisite Needle possibly be incomplete? In their eyes, Xu Ke was simply slandering Yang Shoukang because he couldn't compete with his medical expertise.

But Xu Ke spoke coldly, "After each time you circulate your Qi for the so-called Seven-Star Exquisite Needle, don't you feel a sharp pain running from your inner thigh down to your knee?"

Hearing this, the female nurses scoffed and looked at Xu Ke with contempt. "Stop making things up and get out of here."

"The inner thigh?"

The male assistant mocked him further, "He says it with such confidence, as if it were real."

But at that moment, Yang Shoukang, who had been seething with fury, suddenly went pale. He began to stammer, "You… you… How could you possibly know that?!"

At his words, the expression on everyone's face changed drastically.

How could Elder Yang, who would remain unflustered even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, look as if his deepest secret had just been exposed?!
