Peerless Medical Emperor

Chen Qingdi’s men continued their assault on Old Street. Suddenly, a drone launched from outside the city walls dropped Bai Jiahui’s body, and a voice called out to them.

"The main culprit, Bai Jiahui, and his worthless children! We’ve already given them to you. As for the other scammers inside, we will purge them on your behalf and hand them over to Dragon Country. Can we talk about a truce?"

Peng Liwei showed no mercy upon receiving these traffickers. He had them loaded directly onto a large truck, driven to the Dragon Country border, and handed over to Dragon Country’s investigators.

Chen Qingdi spoke to Peng Liwei with utmost sincerity.

"Now that we’ve fought this far, the scamming syndicates in Old Street are basically crippled. What’s your plan? Are you going to keep pushing and take Old Street County Town?"

Peng Liwei replied, "We have to see this through. Old Street must be completely purged of scams, and not a single person involved can be allowed to escape!"

Chen Qingdi’s expression turned grave as he said,

"I have the latest intelligence. King Mi Lai of Linyi Country has dispatched an elite Jingwei Brigade to seize the fruits of your victory. What’s more, they’ve moved the real masterminds of the scam operations to their capital. If they manage to form a pincer attack, we’ll be under immense pressure."

Peng Liwei said furiously, "Those bastards were in league with the scammers from the beginning! If we let them take over, they’ll just go back to their old business. They’ll probably even start growing illegal drugs here and turn the Red Flame River region back into the lawless den it once was!"

Chen Qingdi said to them, "So, if you truly want to be the masters of this land, you have to move as quickly as possible. You must take Old Street County Town and secure complete control of the Red Flame River before that elite brigade arrives!"

Peng Liwei asked grimly, "But that elite brigade is a formidable enemy. How do we fight them?"

Chen Qingdi thought for a moment. "Do you have any men to spare? If you do, you can probably ’find’ some more drones in the deep mountains. Even if you can’t defeat the elite brigade outright, you can drop some bombs on them to break their formation. After all, that King Mi Lai is nothing but a glorified supply captain!"

Chen Qingdi also summoned an elite force of his own from Medical God Island. It was a special forces unit led by Chen Yuan, who operated the drones and set up an ambush along the Jingwei Brigade’s inevitable path.

When the brigade began to make camp, they were spotted by Chen Yuan’s reconnaissance drones. From a distance, he commanded his drones to unleash a furious barrage on the Jingwei Brigade.

All the ammunition had been ’salvaged’ from the deep mountains. As for who left it there? Did it really matter?

In no time, the Jingwei Brigade was bombed into disarray. They fled in a panic, abandoning their tanks, armored vehicles, and a large cache of advanced weaponry.

Chen Yuan appeared before Chen Qingdi.

"Boss, we’re fighting side-by-side again. Just tell us how you want to deal with those bastards in Old Street."

"Get in these tanks. You’re going to follow me and attack Old Street County Town. We’re going to raze that place to the ground, even if we have to bulldoze our way through!"

They arrived before the walls of Old Street County Town and saw the defenders were still putting up a desperate resistance.

From inside an armored vehicle, Chen Qingdi piloted several heavy drones into the sky above the town. He dropped a few shells, and the towering city walls were instantly razed, filling in the moat.

Chen Qingdi commanded his men, "Charge!"

Their tanks roared forward, plunging into the urban warfare of the city’s streets.

The streets and alleys were incredibly narrow, but what did that matter to a tank? They simply turned their turrets around and bulldozed straight through. The flimsy walls were no match, and were quickly reduced to rubble.

The infantry advanced behind the tanks, and soon they reached the center of the city.

The defending warlords saw this and knew it was hopeless. They were being attacked by both ground and air forces simultaneously.

Besides, throughout the entire battle, they hadn’t seen a single soldier from the Anti-Deception Army; they had only been fighting against ’iron beasts’.

How could they possibly continue this fight?

The supreme commander of these forces was a man named Wen Shun. He was one of the original traitors, and after the fall of the Four Great Clans, he had been courted with promises by the King of Linyi, leading him to style himself as the supreme commander.

He had been fantasizing about driving off these mercenaries and becoming the king of his own little hill, but he never imagined their armored vehicles would push right up to his headquarters.

Without a second thought, he raised the white flag.

"Don’t shoot! I surrender!"

Peng Liwei stared at the traitor. "I seem to recall you have members of the other three great clans hiding in there with you. This ’surrender’ of yours doesn’t feel very sincere. Maybe we should fire a few more shells to test your conviction."

Wen Shun just wanted these gods of plagues to leave as soon as possible. Hearing Peng Liwei’s words, he quickly stammered, "I’ll have them all captured and brought out immediately!"

Peng Liwei sneered. "Your headquarters is also full of hostages from Dragon Country, isn’t it? Are you trying to lure us inside with this talk of surrender, just to spring an ambush? How about this—we’ll forget about the hostages. We’ll just blow your so-called headquarters to smithereens first. How does that sound?"

Wen Shun was already scared witless, his face drained of all color. He frantically ordered his defenders to drop their weapons, clasp their hands behind their heads, and kneel on the ground.

"We surrender!"

Chen Qingdi smiled and said to Peng Liwei.

"Peng, congratulations on retaking the Red Flame River. It looks like you’re back to being the head of the Red Flame River Special Channel."

But Peng Liwei’s expression was grave as he replied.

"Actually, my hometown is in the Shu Region of Dragon Country. I’m a citizen of Dragon Country, too. My dream is to lead this land back to Dragon Country, so I never have to take any more crap from the King of Linyi!"

Chen Qingdi thought for a moment and said, "These things are possible if you work for them. If this is truly your plan, you should communicate more with Dragon Country. This has to be done one step at a time. First, you must guarantee you’re free from Linyi Country’s interference. Only then can you consider reunification with Dragon Country."

As Chen Qingdi was about to leave, Peng Liwei said to him.

"Please, Divine Physician, relay a message to the Divine King. Tell him that I, Peng Liwei, dream of nothing but returning to my homeland. I hope Dragon Country responds swiftly, perhaps even by sending the Celestial Soldiers to garrison the Red Flame River!"

Chen Qingdi remained noncommittal on the matter and simply said to Peng Liwei.

"I believe that one day your dream will come true. I hope you stay true to your original purpose—continue to crack down on drug cultivation and financial scams, and bring prosperity to the people of the Red Flame River."

Just then, the helicopter to take Chen Qingdi home landed in the urban area of Old Street.

Chen Qingdi boarded the helicopter and flew back to Longdu.

The Divine King was overjoyed. "Chen Qingdi, you’ve done an outstanding job! You not only wiped out the hostile forces over there but also safeguarded the peace and stability of our border. Your contributions are immense. I’m giving you one month’s leave. Go home and rest."

After bidding farewell to the Divine King, Chen Qingdi returned to Jinghai at the first opportunity.

Just then, he suddenly received a phone call. It was from Shen Mingyue.

When he answered, no one spoke. There was only a clamor of noise on the other end.

Then, he heard a man’s voice. "President Shen, on my turf, no woman has ever escaped my grasp. Stop fighting it. Just be mine!"
