Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: You’re Ruthless

The atmosphere at dinner was incredibly tense.

During the meal, the Li brothers and the Yang sisters barely spoke.

The ones who talked the most were Wang Chenning and Yang Xiaodong.

Wang Chenning made many pointed remarks, and Yang Xiaodong chimed in to support him. In between hyping him up, he also threw a few sarcastic jabs at the Li brothers.

At six-thirty, the Li brothers got up to leave.

Only after the Li brothers left did the atmosphere in the private room finally lighten up.

"Brother-in-law!" Yang Xiaodong slid into the seat next to Wang Chenning with a fawning grin. "Did you do something to Li Mingchao behind the scenes?" he asked, trying to curry favor. "He seems really scared of you."

Wang Chenning glanced at Yang Xiaofei, then at Yang Xiaofu, before saying mysteriously, "That day you helped him set up our meeting at Yangjiang Hall, I made him take a special drug I concocted. For the time being, he won’t dare to openly defy me."

"So that’s what happened!" Yang Xiaodong’s eyes widened in surprise. "No wonder! I’ve seen him a few times, and he never dared to mention getting revenge on you. It turns out you drugged him!"

He then asked cautiously, "What kind of drug did you give him? Is it lethal?"

"No," Wang Chenning said, shaking his head. "But it will make his life a living hell. And if he tries to take some random antidote, there might be... complications. He’s probably been to the hospital for checkups many times, but they can’t find anything wrong."

Wang Chenning’s words made the color drain from the faces of Yang Xiaodong, Yang Xiaofei, and Yang Xiaofu.

Wang Chenning smiled. "Don’t worry, I would never use a drug like that on you. Even when Xiaodong wanted me dead, I never considered pulling a move like this!"

Yang Xiaodong gave an awkward twitch of his lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He rubbed his nose awkwardly and recounted the story of how Wang Chenning had tricked one of his underlings into wetting his pants in public that day. Then, in front of Yang Xiaofei and Yang Xiaofu, he begged Wang Chenning, "Brother-in-law, I’m truly scared of you. Please, just don’t ever mess with me again, okay?"

His words left Yang Xiaofei and Yang Xiaofu staring at each other for a long moment.

During her first meeting with Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofei had been filled with rage. When she was in the car berating Yang Xiaodong, she hadn’t seen anyone wet their pants, nor had she heard anything about it afterward.

Hearing Yang Xiaodong admit it himself today, she was both exasperated and amused.

"You doctors really have a whole bag of tricks for messing with people, don’t you?" She gave Wang Chenning a dark look. "If we make you angry in the future, are you going to use these underhanded methods on us?"

"Under normal circumstances, no," Wang Chenning replied with a smile, shaking his head.

"And what about abnormal circumstances?" Yang Xiaofei gritted her teeth.

"If I’m being bullied by you, or if my life is threatened, then I’ll use any means necessary!"

"So, this is you warning us directly?" If her younger brother and sister weren’t there, Yang Xiaofei would have reached out and pinched him a few times.

"Just so long as you understand. Don’t go around provoking a doctor, especially one as exceptionally skilled as me. The consequences could be... serious." Wang Chenning let out a sly chuckle, then had someone bring Lv Qinglan in. "I’m a little curious about this woman. I have a few more questions for her."

"Brother-in-law, are you really going to have her work for you?" Yang Xiaodong asked, looking puzzled. "Aren’t you afraid she’ll just repay your kindness with betrayal?"

"Yang Xiaodong, our sister’s marriage to him isn’t even set yet. Have you no shame, calling him ’brother-in-law’ over and over?" Yang Xiaofu couldn’t help but mock her brother. "Aren’t you afraid our sister will deal with you?"

Yang Xiaodong glanced at Yang Xiaofei, then at Wang Chenning, and just chuckled without offering an explanation.

Lv Qinglan was brought in shortly after.

Wang Chenning told her to go to the restroom and clean herself up, then come back and sit down. He had questions for her.

Lv Qinglan obediently went into the restroom to wash her face.

A short while later, she came out, having tidied herself up.

Although her face was clean, it was a world away from her previous glamorous appearance.

"Have something to eat first." Wang Chenning instructed a waiter to bring a clean set of bowl and chopsticks for Lv Qinglan.

Lv Qinglan was at a loss. She didn’t dare to pick up the chopsticks and eat, sitting there stiffly with her head bowed low.

"Logically speaking, you shouldn’t know this much," Wang Chenning said, watching Lv Qinglan with a playful expression. "Unless they had a death wish, they would never have told you so many things!"

Lv Qinglan hesitated for a moment before confessing, "I was afraid they would get rid of me once I’d served my purpose, so I was always careful. I recorded audio or video of some key moments. I also got... a lot of information from Li Mingbo that they never would have let me know otherwise."

"What a calculating woman!" Wang Chenning looked at Yang Xiaofei with a chuckle. "The people you train are never simple."

Yang Xiaofei shot him a glare but didn’t rise to his teasing. Instead, she asked Lv Qinglan, "How many of my confidential matters and the Yang family’s secrets did you give them?"

"Not many!" Lv Qinglan shook her head. "I was afraid that if you found out, Eldest Miss, I would die a miserable death, so I didn’t dare tell them many of the important things. I also knew that if I told them important secrets too easily or agreed to their demands too readily, I wouldn’t be valuable to them, so..."

"People who betray me never meet a good end." Yang Xiaofei stared at Lv Qinglan, her expression icy. "Tell me yourself. How should I deal with you?"

"Eldest Miss, I’ll never do it again!" Lv Qinglan dropped to her knees with a THUD. "I’m willing to be your slave for the rest of my life. I’ll never betray you again. I can’t die! If I die, my elderly parents and my underage siblings will lose their source of income..."

Yang Xiaofu cut Lv Qinglan off impatiently. "If you knew you were the pillar of your family, then why didn’t you cherish the opportunity my sister gave you?"

"I was forced!" Lv Qinglan began to wail sorrowfully. "They forced me several times..."

"Enough!" Wang Chenning waved a hand, cutting Lv Qinglan off. "Stop making excuses. First, reflect on your own foolish actions! You have to take your punishment, or you’ll never learn your lesson."

Wang Chenning immediately gave Yang Xiaofei a suggestion. "How about this? Let her work as a janitor at your company for a few months, and then she can come work for me."

"Alright." Yang Xiaofei thought for a moment and agreed. "Three months of janitorial work it is. Temporary worker status, with a monthly salary of eleven hundred yuan."

"Thank you, Eldest Miss!" Although she knew this was a humiliation most people would find hard to accept, Lv Qinglan accepted without hesitation.

After Lv Qinglan had left, Yang Xiaofei asked Wang Chenning, "Why are you still giving her a chance?"
