Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 110 Warning!
Late at night, the Yuncheng City Lord’s Mansion was in complete chaos. Numerous doctors in white coats hurried in and out, their expressions fraught with urgency.
Li Chenqian paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, so agitated he couldn’t sit still. Beside him stood a middle-aged noblewoman, her face deathly pale.
After a full two hours, just as the sky began to lighten, a doctor finally emerged.
"Young Master Li, City Governor Li’s vital signs have stabilized for the time being, but he has yet to regain consciousness, and the situation remains extremely dire. Furthermore, our examination revealed that the City Governor’s illness is very peculiar... it strongly resembles the legendary condition of ’cold qi invading the brain’. In Western medicine, we have no way to treat such a difficult and unusual case. It seems... we can only turn to traditional Chinese medicine."
"Cold qi invading the brain?" Li Chenqian was stunned. "What caused it?"
"Does the City Governor normally enjoy eating raw seafood, like marinated shrimp and oysters?"
"Yes, he feels awful if he goes a day without them..." Li Chenqian wiped a bead of cold sweat from his brow. "It’s really because of that?"
"Indeed," the doctor sighed. "The City Governor is getting older, and this was compounded by his recent overwork. Suddenly eating such raw, cold food late at night triggered the problem..."
The middle-aged noblewoman beside them was so distraught that tears began to well in her eyes. "That old fool! I told him not to work so hard and to eat less of that unhealthy stuff! But he refused to listen... What are we going to do now?"
She clasped her hands, her entire body trembling, completely overwhelmed by panic.
The doctor spoke with a grave tone. "We must immediately find a highly experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to treat City Governor Li. Otherwise, I fear he won’t hold on for much longer."
Hearing this, Li Chenqian took a deep breath, his mind racing for a solution.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Chen Xiao’s remark about Dad’s condition turned out to be a prophecy... so maybe Chen Xiao can cure him? Yes! I have to find Chen Xiao!
"Mom! Don’t panic! I know someone who might be able to cure Dad!"
"Who?"
"A young man!" Li Chenqian said. "He warned Dad not to eat the marinated food today. He could tell Dad wasn’t well, so he should be able to cure him."
"A young man?" Lin Murong’s brow furrowed. "Absolutely not! Someone so young can’t possibly have that kind of skill! I don’t trust him. I’ll think of another way!"
"Mom, look at the time!" Li Chenqian urged. "He’s our only option!"
Just then, a younger doctor spoke up. "Madam, don’t worry. I know someone who can definitely cure the City Governor!"
"Who?" Li Chenqian and Lin Murong asked in unison, their voices filled with desperation.
The young doctor announced, "The Sage of the National Medical Court, the great Divine Doctor Li Zhengming!"
At the mention of this name, they were both stunned.
"Old Doctor Li happens to be in Yuncheng City. We can go and invite him over immediately! With his sterling reputation, he’ll surely be willing to save City Governor Li!"
"I’ll have a friend contact Old Mr. Li right away."
"We’ll be in your debt," Lin Murong said, breathing a sigh of relief.
With a sage of Chinese medicine on the case, Li Buyi’s life should be saved!
Li Chenqian and the others quickly contacted Li Zhengming, but by the time he arrived, it was already between eight and nine in the morning.
"Divine Doctor Li!"
"Divine Doctor Li!"
Li Chenqian and the others greeted him with immense enthusiasm.
Li Zhengming waved a dismissive hand. "Enough with the pleasantries. Where is the patient? I’ll go in and see him first."
A full half-hour passed before Li Zhengming finally emerged.
Li Chenqian and Lin Murong immediately crowded around him, their faces etched with worry.
"As for City Governor Li’s illness," Li Zhengming said, shaking his head, "I’m afraid I’m truly powerless to help. In all of Yuncheng City, there is likely only one person who can save him now!"
Li Chenqian’s heart plummeted. "If even you can’t do anything, Divine Doctor Li, then who can?"
"My master, Mr. Chen Xiao," Li Zhengming stated, enunciating each word with profound reverence.
Li Zhengming’s master?! Chen Xiao?
Li Chenqian’s mind went completely blank. It took a full ten seconds for him to process the words before he stammered, "Divine Doctor Li, the Mr. Chen you’re speaking of... is he a young man in his twenties?"
"That is correct," Li Zhengming nodded.

「Inside the standalone villa.」
First thing in the morning, Zhang Yaqing rushed over and knocked on Chen Xiao’s door.
Luo Qingli, clad in a sexy nightgown, opened the door with a flushed face. She raised an elegant eyebrow. "Miss Zhang, what’s the matter so early in the morning?"
"I need to talk to Chen Xiao about something." Ignoring the hint of challenge and smugness in the other woman’s eyes, Zhang Yaqing walked straight inside and pulled Chen Xiao out of bed.
"What is it?!" Chen Xiao grumbled, rolling over.
Zhang Yaqing said, "There’s a problem. Xu Baian had his people raid and seal the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. This Xu Baian plays dirty, resorting to tactics like this? Abusing public authority for a personal vendetta?
Zhang Yaqing sighed. "You were the one who beat up his men yesterday. You’re not just going to wash your hands of this, are you? A helpless woman like me can’t handle this kind of situation!"
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed. "I’ll go with you."
Luo Qingli’s tone was laced with sarcasm and jealousy. "Chen Xiao, you certainly seem to care a lot about other people’s problems!"
"I’ll explain when I get back," Chen Xiao said flatly.
Zhang Yaqing turned back and smiled. "Miss Luo, I’m borrowing your husband for a bit. You don’t mind, do you?"
As she watched them leave, a flicker of sorrow and regret crossed Luo Qingli’s eyes, followed by a self-deprecating smile. She closed the door, and when she opened it again moments later, she had changed her clothes, once again the cold, stunningly beautiful, and powerful woman she was known to be.
On the way, Chen Xiao received a call from an unknown number.
"Mr... Mr. Chen? This is Li Chenqian..." Li Chenqian quickly explained Li Buyi’s condition, pleading with him to come and save his father.
Chen Xiao replied lazily, "I don’t have time right now. The Xu father and son sicced the Commerce Department on the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce to settle a personal score. I’m on my way there with Miss Zhang to handle it."
With that, he hung up.
I’ve given Li Chenqian his chance. Whether he can seize it is up to him.
After the call was disconnected, Li Chenqian’s expression turned exceedingly grim.
"Well, son? When can this Mr. Chen get here?" Lin Murong asked anxiously.
Li Chenqian’s face grew cold. "Mr. Chen said the Commerce Department just sealed the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce. He’s on his way to deal with that matter and has no time for us!"
Lin Murong’s expression turned dark. "That Xu Qingfeng! Instead of properly disciplining his good-for-nothing son, he indulges his tantrums. It seems I’ll have to personally give him a warning. If they cause any delay in Old Li’s treatment, I’ll have their hides!"
Without another word, she dialed Xu Qingfeng’s number.
When Xu Qingfeng saw the call was from the City Governor’s wife, he immediately answered with the utmost respect, only to be met with a blistering tirade from Lin Murong.
The more Xu Qingfeng listened, the more terrified he became.
If something happens to Li Buyi because of me, even ten heads wouldn’t be enough to pay for it!
Lin Murong’s voice was like ice. "I’m giving you half an hour to handle this. Do not delay my husband’s treatment! And let me give you another warning. Mr. Chen’s Senior Martial Sister is Leng Baiyu of the Dragon Soul Sect! She’s a major figure that even my husband, Old Li, can’t afford to provoke, so you had best not get on his bad side!"
"I’ve said my piece." With that, Lin Murong hung up.
Xu Qingfeng was already drenched in a cold sweat.
