Chapter 106: The Sudden Assassin
Xu Zhaopei left without even agreeing.
Fang Yu sighed, spread his hands, and said, "I'm so freaking wronged..."
After work.
Fang Yu finally returned to the villa.
...
Upon entering the living room, he saw Jiang Wei and her little sister Jiang Xiaoxiao curled up on the sofa watching TV.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Fang Yu come back, she excitedly said, "Brother-in-law... you're back!"
Jiang Wei frowned slightly and glared, saying, "Xiaoxiao, don't shout nonsense!"
"I'll shout—"
"——"
The little girl was being capricious, and as her older sister, she felt she had no way to deal with her.
Fang Yu, with a smile on his face, walked over to the sofa. He noticed that Jiang Wei's expression seemed very calm, so he sat down at ease and asked, "Peipei mentioned that you were looking for me for something?"
Jiang Wei glanced at him and said, "You are my personal doctor. I need you to accompany me for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Before her sister could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "My sister said that tomorrow she has to launch a new product. She's worried that the excitement might reopen her wounds..."
"——"
Fang Yu scratched his head in confusion, "Your injury is pretty much healed... it shouldn't be that bad..."
Jiang Wei coldly interrupted him, "But I feel uncomfortable."
After speaking, she went upstairs expressionlessly.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
This is really baffling.
The little sister-in-law's face was beaming with joy, she ran over, hugged Fang Yu's arm, and whispered, "Brother-in-law... I have a premonition."
"What premonition?"
"My sister might have taken a liking to you."
"Pfft—"
Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? It's enough if your sister doesn't belittle me. That would be a blessing."
"Hmph, brother-in-law, why are you so lacking in confidence..."
"Little brat, hurry and go wash up and sleep, I'm tired too."
Fang Yu stood up and stretched his back.
Since he treated more than a hundred people, he hasn't really had a proper rest.
"Hmph, you're the little one, your whole family is little..."
...
In the room.
Fang Yu once again entered into cultivation.
His Inner Essence was recovering at a rapid pace.
This time, Fang Yu suddenly felt that the volume of his Inner Essence seemed to have increased a great deal from before.
He roughly estimated that this should be the Middle Stage of the Fourth Layer Heaven of the Divine Dragon Technique.
However, Fang Yu did not relax because of this. For each layer of the Divine Dragon Technique, it is easy to move from the initial phase to the middle stage. The difficulty lies in progressing from the middle stage to the peak and then breaking through the bottleneck.
According to his master's words, the Divine Dragon Technique is an extremely unique secret manual; cultivators need to put in several times more effort and hardship than ordinary people. Breaking through the bottleneck also requires some opportune moments.
Unknowingly, Fang Yu's body started to float.
...
...
The next day.
At the Xu Family villa.
Xu Liu, the old master, was lying on a grandmaster's chair with a triumphant expression, fanning himself.
"Master, the young miss has arrived."
Xu Zhaopei walked over from the back courtyard to face Xu Liu, smiling, "Grandpa, you seem to be in good spirits today."
"Of course."
"Grandpa, since there's nothing wrong, I'm going to work." After saying that, Xu Zhaopei planned to leave.
"Hold on."
Xu Liu glared and said, "I called you here today to ask about your progress with Fang Yu."
"What progress?" Xu Zhaopei was a bit shy.
"Nonsense, feigning ignorance."
"It's good. We are together at work all the time," said Xu Zhaopei.
"Just like that?"
"Yes, just like that."
Xu Liu suddenly put down his fan, glared, and said, "When will you give your grandfather some peace of mind? You're in your twenties and still a maiden, aren't you ashamed!?"
Huh?
Xu Zhaopei suddenly realized what her grandfather meant, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, and she stomped her foot, "Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again! I'm not listening to you!"
She turned and ran away.
Not far off, Xu Liu's voice followed, "Peipei! You've got to hurry up, turn the raw rice into cooked rice; don't let the duck fly away!"
"——"
Xu Zhaopei was almost floored by Grandpa's words.
...
...
Meanwhile.
The new product launch of Qingcheng Group had officially begun.
In the afternoon, at the Qingcheng Group headquarters.
Various media representatives had arrived, and many business tycoons attended one after another.
Jiang Wei sat in the center, flanked by the company's executives.
As usual, the cool and aloof Jiang Wei was dressed like a professional businesswoman, wearing a black outfit paired with a white shirt, exhibiting a distinctive personality.
"Thank you all for attending Qingcheng Group's new product launch."
This was followed by a half-hour history of the company's achievements.
Then came the introduction of the company's products.
It turned out to be a women's beauty facial mask that could greatly protect women's skin tone, maintain moisture and health, and was currently the best product on the market.
Fang Yu was sitting at the back, feeling bored and soon started to feel drowsy.
After three hours, the launch finally came to an end.
The scene suddenly became lively.
Business tycoons came up to congratulate her, and some brought flowers.
A bewitching beauty squeezed through the crowd and approached Jiang Wei,
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
Whoosh!
In that instant, the bewitching beauty suddenly pulled out a knife, aiming straight at Jiang Wei!
"Ah—"
Jiang Wei's mind went blank for a moment.
Just when she thought she was going to die, a figure appeared in front of her like the wind.
Bang!
Fang Yu kicked the beauty's arm, and the knife dropped to the ground.
The seductive beauty, obviously well-prepared, drew another sharp blade from her bosom!
She bared her teeth and charged.
Fang Yu shook his head—
"Really seeking death!"
Whoosh!
He kicked out.
Bang!
Without any trace of pity for the beauty, the woman was kicked away, smashing into a row of tables.
The attending clients let out exclamations, moving back continuously.
"Brother-in-law is so awesome!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't seeing Fang Yu's prowess for the first time, but she still jumped up excitedly.
Fang Yu snapped his fingers and slowly approached the assassin, looking down at her, he asked, "Tell me, why do you want to harm Jiang Wei?"
The beautiful woman's eyes filled with hatred as she said, "Kill or torture me, do as you please!"
"Heh, quite a tough nut."
Fang Yu bent down, his eyes filled with pity, "No need for you to tell me; I know who you are."
"Huh?" Surprise flickered through the bewitching beauty's eyes.
"Attacking Jiang Wei at the press conference shows you never intended to escape... Only a great grudge can escalate to murder... so my guess is, you must be Xiao He's lover? Or perhaps Xiao Ting's lover?"
The bewitching beauty shuddered greatly.
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's all the same... I can tell you now—Xiao Ting was killed by me."
"You—"
The beauty's eyes erupted with bloodthirst.
"There's a debtor for every grievance; for such matters, you ought to come after me."
Just at this moment—
The seductive beauty suddenly rose, using almost all of her strength.
"I'm taking you down with me!"
Just then, Fang Yu spoke out sharply, "How presumptuous!"
Another kick landed on her arm.
This time, she completely lost her capacity to fight.
"You all see, right? I was acting in self-defense!" Fang Yu spread his hands.
Someone nearby chimed in, "I can testify! It was indeed self-defense."
"Exactly, I've got it on video."
Fang Yu turned his head to glance at Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei, however, awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'll head back first. Everyone, please make yourselves at home."
With that, she walked towards the exit.
Fang Yu, in a typical display of obliviousness, said, "President Jiang, don't leave, I'm a doctor. Tell me where you feel uncomfortable, I'll take a look for you!"
