Chapter 412: 412 Chapter Wang Yu Cooperates with Wang Tianlu
Originally, Wang Tianlu believed it was Yang Shoukang who had saved Wang Yu. From the beginning, he had wanted to drive a wedge between Yang Shoukang and Xu Ke, intending to make Yang Shoukang admit that he, not Xu Ke, was the true savior.
However, seeing Yang Shoukang shamelessly admit his knowledge was inferior to Xu Ke's… He knew Yang Shoukang would never reveal the truth. Since Yang Shoukang has already sided with Xu Ke and the others, there's only one path left for me to take! I'll have Wang Yu help me!
He stepped forward, deliberately raising his voice. "Fine, he's inferior. Your mouths are your own, so say what you will."
"But, Xu Ke, don't you forget!"
"Just now, upstairs, you were so adamant, saying you weren't assaulting her, you were saving her."
"You even said that if Wang Yu wasn't up and about, full of life, after your treatment, you would leave the Wang Family."
"Well? Is Wang Yu up and about now?"
He seemed to be speaking to Xu Ke, but he was intentionally directing his words toward the inner room for Wang Yu, who was lying down, to hear.
Wang Tianlu was no fool. From Xu Ke's confident expression, he knew one thing for certain: Wang Yu was alive. Since she was alive, she could hear his voice and help him deal with Xu Ke.
Seeing Wang Tianlu deliberately shout toward the room where only Wang Yu was, Xu Ke's expression darkened. How could he not guess Wang Tianlu's intentions? If Wang Yu heard this, she would surely pretend to be unconscious until he was driven away.
Yang Shoukang's face changed instantly. Xu Ke is a fool! he cursed inwardly. Even if Hua Tuo himself were present, it would be impossible to get Wang Yu up and about instantly after she had been kicked to the brink of death.
Seeing Xu Ke and Yang Shoukang remain silent, Wang Tianlu's supporters grew even more smug. Their pretense of civility vanished as they jeered, "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
"Where's Wang Yu? Why isn't she getting up?"
"If Wang Yu can't get up, then you can get the hell out of here!"
They looked ready to start a fight.
Wong Qifu stepped forward and said coolly, "What's the rush? It takes you all a moment to get going when you wake up in the morning, let alone when someone is recovering from a critical injury."
Wang Tianlu scoffed, "Then I'll give you five minutes. Wake her up!"
At this, Yang Shoukang's face turned grim. "Xiao Ji, go wake her."
"All her vitals just returned to normal. She should be awake by now."
Xiao Ji was the male assistant. His expression was nervous, but he still nodded. "Yes!"
He turned and walked into the room.
Everyone's gaze followed Xiao Ji, fixed on the emergency room. A satisfied smirk touched Wang Tianlu's lips as he glanced at Xu Ke. Everything is under my control!
"President Yuu, may I ask if you're awake?" Xiao Ji asked cautiously.
Although Yang Shoukang called her Wang Yu, to Xiao Ji, she was still a major figure. He had to be extremely careful.
After he called out, Wang Yu showed no reaction at all.
Xiao Ji swallowed hard and called her name again, a little more gently this time.
Still nothing!
Seeing this, the expressions on Wong Qifu's and Wang Wu's faces immediately sank. Wang Yu must be determined to feign unconsciousness!
Meanwhile, a smug look spread across Wang Tianlu's face as he laughed inwardly. Just as I predicted!
Seeing the lack of response, Yang Shoukang's face darkened. "Xiao Ji, louder!"
"Yes!"
Trembling, Xiao Ji mustered his courage. "President Yuu, how are you feeling? Can you get up?"
His words were met with nothing but silence, like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Xiao Ji's face fell into a mask of despair. "Elder Yang, I can't wake her up!"
Wang Tianlu's faction immediately burst into triumphant laughter, while Xu Ke's expression grew stern. I just saw her eyelids twitch—a sign she was about to wake up. She's clearly faking it now!
At this moment, though Wang Yu appeared unconscious on the surface, she was laughing wildly inside…
That's right, I woke up a while ago. And I heard everything Wang Tianlu said. I didn't get up right away because I was in shock—shocked by Xu Ke's terrifyingly powerful medical skills. I never imagined Xu Ke could be so incredible! It's simply unbelievable!
I wasn't without sensation when Xu Ke was treating me. I realized that not only had he saved me from the brink of death, but he had also genuinely cured my chronic old ailments. My body now feels rejuvenated, as energetic as a twenty-year-old's! These are truly divine medical skills! How could I not be shocked to realize that someone from Shan City, a place I'd always looked down on, possessed such heaven-defying abilities?
In my eyes, Xu Ke had been nothing more than a slightly clever Martial Path prodigy! In terms of the Martial Path and intellect, Wong Ting was definitely superior. That's why I wanted to choose Wong Ting. But now, knowing about Xu Ke's medical skills, I feel a pang of regret... With such godly abilities, his value is immensely greater. After all, martial prowess and intelligence can't compare to the ability to save a life. Saving the life of a powerful person can yield an immense amount of resources and money. Since Xu Ke has divine medical skills, it means he can save many lives, acquire more resources, and make the Wang Family prosper!
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have so strongly opposed him and Wong Qifu. But then, my thoughts quickly turned to blame… If Xu Ke had told me he knew medicine from the start, would I ever have acted against him? This is all his fault!
Before I could even process my shock, I heard Wang Tianlu's words. I immediately realized I had to seize this opportunity to crush Xu Ke completely. Otherwise, he'll be a real danger in the future! The more I understood how heaven-defying Xu Ke was, the more I felt I had to drive him away. If those snobbish core members saw that he genuinely possessed such powerful medical skills, wouldn't they immediately acknowledge his position? If that happened, I, who tried to frame him and nearly cost the Wang Family a Divine Doctor, would be doomed! For my own future, I must cooperate with Wang Tianlu to ruin Xu Ke.
I sneered inwardly. Xu Ke, you didn't expect this, did you? You intended to kick me to death. But now, to save your own skin, you had to swallow your hatred and heal me, making my body feel young again. And in the end, aren't I still going to be the one to drive you away?
I am incredibly smug. Xu Ke must be so frustrated, right?! I get to have my body rejuvenated and drive him away at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone. This feels amazing!
...
Upon seeing Xiao Ji fail once again, Wang Tianlu sneered, "Well? Do you see now? Wang Yu is still unconscious. You can't wake her up at all."
"The truth is crystal clear!"
"Family Head, I demand that you expel Xu Ke, reclaim all the Wang Family resources spent on him, and hold him accountable for injuring Wang Yu!"
"Furthermore, Family Head, please take responsibility for distorting the truth during the meeting and punish yourself accordingly. Otherwise, I fear your erroneous actions will set a terrible precedent within the family!"
He delivered the final blow, pressing his advantage.
His supporters' faces lit up with joy. Are we finally going to see Xu Ke get kicked out?
Zhan Yunning's and Wong Gaoyang's faces, however, turned grim as they blamed Xu Ke in their hearts. It would be one thing if we were driven out for our own impulsiveness, but now he's dragged Wong Qifu down with him... What a burden!
