"Hmph, good riddance, just a mediocre doctor from the secular world!"
Tang Shihe snorted disdainfully before his gaze shifted to Tang Shengyi, "Shengyi, now you see, the only way to cure our elder brother is to rely on Medicine King Valley; otherwise, he will never awaken!"
Tang Shengyi gazed at the bedridden Tang Shihai, her eyes flickering.
"Yes, Miss, the only one who can save the Sect Leader now is Medicine King Valley!"
Several Tang Sect Elders voiced their agreement.
"Very well, I’ll leave the matter of requesting Medicine King Valley’s help to you, Second Uncle. Now, please leave; I would like some quiet time alone with my father."
Tang Shengyi spoke and the others gradually left the room.
Tang Shengyi then approached the bedside and tightly grasped the hand of her father, Tang Shihai.
"Father, rest assured, no matter what, I will awaken you."
Tang Shengyi whispered softly, her expression suddenly changed and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "And as for the person who poisoned you, I will surely root them out!"
In another room within the Tang Sect mansion, Tang Shihe entered to find a young man with cold eyes sitting inside. Upon seeing Tang Shihe come in, he quickly stood up and asked, "How is father? Did that Hua Country’s physician manage to cure my uncle?"
"Rest assured, as if a mere secular doctor could heal Tang Shihai. All the efforts I’ve carefully arranged would have been for nothing. In this world, besides Medicine King Valley, there’s no one else who can save him."
Tang Shihe laughed coldly.
"Father, your move is truly brilliant. You’ve not only won over Medicine King Valley but also secured control over the Tang Sect; it’s killing two birds with one stone!"
Tang Qing, Tang Shihe’s son, said with a cold, sinister smile.
"This is the plan I’ve meticulously arranged for so long. I’m just waiting to become the new Sect Leader of the Tang Sect!"
Tang Shihe’s eyes shimmered with a terrifying sharpness.
"Hmph, by then, I’d like to see how Tang Shengyi can still be arrogant in front of me!"
Tang Qing said with a sneer, then frowned, "Father, do you think Tang Shengyi will agree to do this?"
"For her father’s life, she has no choice but to agree!"
Tang Shihe wore a confident smile, looking as if he had everything under control.
In a villa in Tianhai, a room erupted with a muffled sound, and a powerful presence filled the space.
The door was then opened, and Peng Hu emerged shirtless, revealing a strong muscular torso. Peng Hu’s aura had changed significantly from before, emanating an incredibly dominant presence, his eyes sparkled, and he looked in high spirits.
"Boss, have you broken through?"
Standing outside the room were three robust men, known as Peng Hu’s top lieutenants — Baoyi, Bao’er, and Bao San — along with a sinister-looking, lean man named Du Lang, also a top fighter in Peng Hu’s ranks.
"Yes, after such a long time, I’ve finally stepped into the Transformative Energy Stage. This stage and the Dark Energy are indeed worlds apart!"
Peng Hu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Congratulations to Boss for the breakthrough in strength!"
The three said in unison.
"Boss, now that you have become a Transformative Energy Stage expert, should we..."
Du Lang began, his eyes fixed on Peng Hu.
"Yes, it’s time to finish all this."
Peng Hu nodded, his eyes flickering, "However, I feel somewhat concerned about Xiao Yifeng right now. His strength is no simple matter; I sense that he is also a Transformative Energy Stage expert. Moreover, he has a good relationship with both Dong Li and Long Qianqian. If he intervenes at that time, it might become troublesome!"
"Boss, that’s easy. If he really is that strong, we might as well use him to our advantage!"
Du Lang’s eyes glittered viciously.
"Oh? How can we use him to our advantage?"
Peng Hu looked at Du Lang with a hint of curiosity.
"To handle such a person, the best method is to control him by threatening someone he deeply cares about!"
"Someone he deeply cares about?"
Peng Hu appeared puzzled.
"His fiancée, Ye Yaxin!"
"This... Ye Yaxin is the Young Miss of the Ye Family, I’m afraid..."
"Don’t worry, we are not hurting her, just using Ye Yaxin to control Xiao Yifeng. Once you, Boss, become the helmsman of Dragon Tiger Corporation, not even the Ye Family would dare to do anything to you."
Du Lang stated one by one.
"You’re right. Once I become the master of Dragon Tiger Corporation, what can the Ye Family do to me!"
A look of disdain flashed in Peng Hu’s eyes.
"Baosan, I’m leaving this task to you. Make it clean!"
Peng Hu’s gaze turned towards Baosan.
Baosan nodded his head.
"By the way, how’s Bao Si?"
"Still in the hospital, his injuries are serious!"
"Hmph, this Xiao Yifeng dares to injure my men. Once I’m done using him, I will make sure he knows what it’s like to live a life worse than death."
Peng Hu snorted coldly, a fiercely ruthless look in his eyes.
Xiao Yifeng was sitting in his seat, idly spacing out when Qiu Yuying came over and knocked on his head.
"Manager Qiu, is there something you need?"
Xiao Yifeng looked up at Qiu Yuying and quickly spoke.
Qiu Yuying said, turning around and heading to her office, with Xiao Yifeng scurrying behind her.
In the office, Qiu Yuying’s gaze remained on Xiao Yifeng.
"Manager Qiu, you’ve been staring at me. Have you been conquered by my handsome appearance and fallen in love with me?"
Xiao Yifeng said with a shamelessly thick-skinned look at Qiu Yuying.
"Pretend to be my boyfriend again!"
Qiu Yuying suddenly said.
Xiao Yifeng looked startled, gazing at Qiu Yuying.
Qiu Yuying’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked at Xiao Yifeng and said again, "I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend one more time!"
"Manager Qiu, you couldn’t possibly really have fallen for me, and that’s why you’re deliberately asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend, to cover up the love you have for me in your heart."
"If you’ve really fallen for me, just say it. After all, it’s not something shameful. I know I’m so handsome that not even Andy Lau or Takeshi Kaneshiro can compare to one ten-thousandth of me. It’s quite normal for a beauty to like me, and I won’t laugh at you!"
Xiao Yifeng’s torrent of words provoked Qiu Yuying’s fury, and she hurled a document at him, but he caught it with one hand.
"Manager Qiu, why are you so irritable? Could it be that time of the month?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Qiu Yuying with a puzzled face.
Qiu Yuying’s expression turned cold, and she ordered sternly.
Xiao Yifeng obediently shut his mouth.
"You’re thinking too much. I just purely want you to pretend to be my boyfriend one more time, that’s all!"
Qiu Yuying said in a solemn voice.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
After Qiu Yuying finished speaking and saw that Xiao Yifeng wasn’t talking, she glanced at him. He made a zipping gesture across his lips with his hand.
