Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 108: Chen Xiao’s Reminder

Furthermore, she believed Chen Xiao wasn’t that kind of person. The members of their sect were all very well-mannered. How could they possibly stir up trouble?

Chen Xiao pursed his lips. "Miss Zhang, please explain. I can’t be bothered to waste my breath."

Zhang Yaqing recounted the course of events.

The more Li Buyi listened, the darker his expression became, his gaze coldly fixed on Li Chenqian.

"SMACK!"

He slapped Li Chenqian across the face. "Xu Baian is cut from the same cloth as his father. I told you not to mess around with him. Did my words fall on deaf ears?"

"But, I..." Li Chenqian trembled.

"SMACK!" Li Buyi slapped him again. "But what? Apologize!"

"Kneel!"

With a single kick, he sent Li Chenqian sprawling to his knees at Chen Xiao’s feet.

"I’m... I’m sorry!" Li Chenqian hurriedly lowered his head, gritting his teeth as he apologized.

Li Buyi’s face was filled with apology. "My apologies. My son has been spoiled and caused the two of you trouble."

To be honest, he was still somewhat resentful, but out of consideration for Leng Baiyu, he swallowed his pride and showed her sufficient deference.

Chen Xiao didn’t even acknowledge him.

This made Li Buyi even more embarrassed. After all, he was the governor of a city. Did this young brat think he could be rude to him just because he was Leng Baiyu’s junior brother? A feeling of displeasure fermented within him. Suppressing his anger, he kicked Li Chenqian again. "Hurry up and get that Xu Baian to the hospital!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Chenqian fled as if granted a pardon.

Li Buyi no longer paid Chen Xiao any mind, turning instead to apologize to Leng Baiyu.

Leng Baiyu said flatly, "Everyone, come inside. It’s time to discuss business."

"I’ll wait for you in the car."

Zhang Yaqing tactfully left. She realized Chen Xiao’s senior sister had an even more formidable background. Even the City Governor of Yuncheng City had to treat her with the utmost respect.

Could she be a major figure in Dragon Soul? And which sect does Chen Xiao belong to? He’s so young yet so capable, and his senior sisters are all so stunning...

Xu Yanran was also utterly shocked. That guy is actually Chief Instructor Leng’s junior brother...

Damn it!

She felt a twinge of envy. After all, Leng Baiyu was her idol.

Did that guy get incredibly lucky with the family he was born into?

Leng Baiyu cut straight to the chase and led the way to the private room.

Seeing Chen Xiao following, Li Buyi couldn’t help but ask, "Chief Instructor Leng, isn’t this mission supposed to be a secret..."

The implication was clear. Even if Chen Xiao was her junior brother, he shouldn’t be involved in such a confidential mission.

Liu Yitong said arrogantly, "Chen Xiao, this is a classified operation of our Dragon Soul Special Action Team! As an outsider, you shouldn’t be shamelessly tagging along. Why are you being so clueless and causing trouble for the Chief Instructor?"

"Chen Xiao is the leader of this special action team," Leng Baiyu stated coldly. "All of you will follow his orders."

Liu Yitong was speechless. "..."

Xu Yanran was speechless. "..."

Li Buyi was speechless. "..."

Chen Xiao is the team leader Leng Baiyu mentioned?

Xu Yanran’s feelings were incredibly mixed. How has this guy suddenly become my superior?

Liu Yitong’s expression turned as foul as if his mother had just died.

The group entered the private room.

Soon, fine wine and delicacies were served.

Leng Baiyu took a sip of strong liquor, finally lifting her indifferent gaze. "This time, you few are the core members of the special operations team. Chen Xiao is the leader, and you only need to follow his commands."

"Yanran and Liu Yitong, you two will be his deputies."

"As for City Governor Li, if the need arises, you will cooperate with all orders unconditionally."

"Once the mission is complete, you will be duly credited for your contribution!"

Li Buyi quickly replied, "Rest assured, I will cooperate to the best of my ability!"

"Chen Xiao, take this mission seriously! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Xiao nodded reluctantly.

Li Buyi inwardly pondered. Can this young man actually complete the mission? Does he have the capability to lead the team? Could it be... Leng Baiyu just wants to shoehorn her junior brother into Dragon Soul to pad his resume with a few significant merits?

Having thought of this, he more or less understood the scheme. So, we’re just here to serve as stepping stones for Chen Xiao’s career?

The meal proceeded with little enthusiasm. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Liu Yitong and Xu Yanran, in particular, were very unhappy with Leng Baiyu’s decision. After all, Chen Xiao was an outsider. On what grounds could he interfere with a secret Dragon Soul mission?

Just because he has connections?

Seemingly sensing their displeasure, Leng Baiyu reminded them coolly, "This mission is not simple. I didn’t bring Chen Xiao in for any other reason. It’s for your safety."

She knew just how monstrously talented her junior brother was.

Li Buyi, ever so tactful, smoothed things over by calling Li Chenqian back in to offer Chen Xiao a toast and an apology.

Although he was fuming inside, Li Chenqian still toasted Chen Xiao with three large glasses. A burning sensation scorched his throat.

Li Buyi said, "Mr. Chen, I’m usually busy with official duties and have been lax in my son’s discipline. I am deeply remorseful for the unjust trouble he caused today. Please forgive him."

Chen Xiao remained silent.

Leng Baiyu said to Chen Xiao, "During his years as City Governor, his administration has been clean, the local economy of Yuncheng City has prospered, and he has earned the people’s support. You should raise a glass to him."

Only then did Chen Xiao’s expression soften slightly, because he knew Leng Baiyu never engaged in empty flattery. This Li Buyi might not be perfect, but he was likely worthy of his position.

Chen Xiao raised his glass. "This matter is over. I’ll drink to that, and we won’t speak of it again."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Buyi eagerly raised his glass, sighing in relief.

Although he looked down on Chen Xiao for being a "connections hire," he had to show Leng Baiyu complete deference.

After finishing their drinks, Chen Xiao observed Li Buyi’s complexion and his brows slowly furrowed. "City Governor Li, are you fond of eating raw food?"

Li Buyi was slightly taken aback. "How did you know, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xiao said, "I see your complexion is poor. You must frequently burn the midnight oil for work. However, raw food is ’cold’ in nature. You must stop eating things like cured seafood or sashimi. Otherwise, your life will be in danger!"

Hearing this, Li Buyi’s expression changed slightly.

To be told his life was in danger right off the bat was rather jarring.

Moreover, he was in the prime of his life. Aside from some fatigue after pulling all-nighters, he had no other symptoms. Is Chen Xiao trying to curse me?
