Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 23: If he is missing a single hair, I’ll take your head!

Jiang Tiannan’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent leaking out. He laughed in fury. "It’s been many years since anyone dared to speak to me like this!"

Xu Jianxiong hurried to help Xu Yanran up from the sofa, his expression one of contempt. Where did this kid get his confidence? Does he even realize how terrifying a Martial Arts Grandmaster is? Even Xu Yanran, a fellow Martial Arts Grandmaster, was defeated, yet he still dares to provoke Jiang Tiannan?

Xu Yanran warned, "Kid, if you provoke Jiang Tiannan less, you might have a chance to live. Even I lost. What makes you think you can stand against him?"

"Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t," Chen Xiao said indifferently.

"You..." Xu Yanran was infuriated. Throughout the entire Divine Land, Martial Arts Grandmasters were as rare as a phoenix’s feathers. She had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm at thirty and was considered a rare genius even among the talent-packed Dragon Soul. How old was this brat? Even with a little talent, he was merely an External Energy or Inner Strength martial artist. Before an Energy Transformation Grandmaster, he was as helpless as an ant waiting to be crushed! Who gave him the courage to be so arrogant?

She said coldly, "Since you’re courting death, we can only tell the Luo Family the truth: that I did my best. Don’t blame me for it on the Road to the Underworld." He’s bringing this on himself. It has nothing to do with our Xu Family.

"I never had any hopes for you in the first place." Chen Xiao shrugged.

Xu Jianxiong and Xu Yanran were so angry their chests heaved violently. If he wants to die, then let him!

Staring at Chen Xiao, Jiang Tiannan stepped forward. "I hear you know a thing or two, but today, I’ll show you the difference between an Energy Transformation Grandmaster and a half-baked amateur like you!" As he finished speaking, he released his Qi Force, and the tabletop was instantly punctured from across the room!

"Projected Qi Force!" Xu Yanran swallowed hard. She hadn’t expected Jiang Tiannan’s power to be so profound. Projecting Qi Force was a hallmark of an Energy Transformation Grandmaster. While she could barely manage it, she could never do it as effortlessly as Jiang Tiannan!

Jiang Tiannan said menacingly, "I won’t let you die easily. I’m going to throw you in front of my son and break your bones, one by one..."

Just as his words faded, several screams suddenly echoed from outside. Then, the tightly closed door of the private room was pushed open by a withered, ancient hand. A hunched figure appeared in the doorway. The old man was dressed in a Tangshan and was slightly stooped. His eyes were somewhat cloudy, yet a sharp, arresting light shone from beneath his drooping eyelids. At his side stood a young man and woman—it was none other than Zhang Yaqing and her brother. All eyes turned toward them.

"Old Master Zhang?" Jiang Tiannan’s gaze trembled as he stared intently at the old man. Zhang Zongheng, founder of the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce and a ruthless man who had walked the razor’s edge his whole life. He was one of the three great magnates, same as him! But he’s been in semi-retirement for years. Why would he suddenly appear here?

Zhang Zongheng chuckled, retracting his aura. With his hands clasped behind his back, he leisurely strolled into the room. "Gate Master Jiang, why such a temper? Getting angry is bad for your health!"

"What brings you here, Old Master Zhang?" Jiang Tiannan asked flatly, his expression wary. Zhang Zongheng was a top expert who had dominated Yuncheng City decades ago and the most senior of its three great magnates. Though he was over seventy, his formidable presence remained. Even Jiang Tiannan was extremely wary of him.

Zhang Zongheng spoke up. "I’ve come to ask Gate Master Jiang for someone."

"Who?" Jiang Tiannan narrowed his eyes.

"Young Master Chen Xiao," Zhang Zongheng said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiannan’s gaze grew even colder. "My son was crippled by him at Zhang’s Restaurant. The fact that I haven’t taken this to the Zhang Family is already a show of immense respect! For you to come here now and demand him... aren’t you pushing things too far?"

Still smiling, Zhang Zongheng remained unfazed. "Young Master Chen is an honored guest of our Zhang Family."

"But he is my enemy!" Jiang Tiannan’s aura flared. Sparks seemed to fly as they locked eyes.

"So, you’re refusing to let him go?" Zhang Zongheng’s stooped body suddenly straightened. His frail aura transformed, becoming like that of a dormant tiger about to pounce.

"Not negotiable!" Jiang Tiannan stated coldly. If he let him go just like that, how could he ever maintain his reputation in the martial world again?

Zhang Zongheng’s voice was deep, his tone still unhurried. "And what if I insist on taking him?" Beside him, Zhang Yaqing quickly shot Chen Xiao a look, signaling for him to hurry over.

Chen Xiao was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the Zhang Family to show up and save the day at such a critical moment. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Am I really that pathetic? Does it really take this many people to deal with a single Jiang Tiannan?

Meanwhile, Xu Yanran and Xu Jianxiong were stunned. They couldn’t believe this kid had actually managed to get Zhang Zongheng, a legend of Yuncheng City, to personally come and bail him out. Zhang Zongheng had been retired for years, yet now he was willing to openly turn against Jiang Tiannan for Chen Xiao? What had this kid possibly done to deserve it?

Jiang Tiannan roared with laughter. "Old Master! I’ve heard you’ve been in poor health. Are you sure you want to start a war with me here? If so, I don’t mind finding out what you’re made of! The Zhang Family rests entirely on your shoulders. If anything were to happen to you... their standing in Yuncheng City would plummet, or perhaps they’d be wiped out entirely!"

Zhang Zongheng smiled faintly. "I may be old and not as vigorous as you young people, but the strength I’ve accumulated over the years is still here. I can still make a move or two when needed. At the very least, it’s more than enough to deal with you."

"You alone won’t be enough to handle me!" Jiang Tiannan refused to back down.

But just then, a voice like tinkling silver bells came from outside.

"Then is it enough with me?"

As the bell-like voice faded, a tide of people in black surged into the crowded private room. The next moment, a woman in a black dress strode in. She was tall, with cold phoenix eyes, and exuded an overwhelmingly dominant aura, as if a queen had just graced them with her presence. A faint smile played on her lips, but from the moment she entered, everyone held their breath.

"Lu... Wu... Shuang!" Jiang Tiannan stared at the woman in the black dress, his heart seizing in terror. Zhang Zongheng even invited this madwoman?

Xu Jianxiong was utterly dumbfounded. Lu Wushuang. She was an incredibly mysterious woman who had taken only a year to build a fearsome reputation in Yuncheng City, rising to the top of its three great magnates and establishing a vast business empire—the Wushuang Corporation. Moreover, she almost never associated with the other powers of Yuncheng City, making her appearance here all the more shocking.

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Lu Wushuang strode forward, her commanding voice echoing throughout the room. "Jiang Tiannan, I hear you want to capture my junior brother. Let me, Lu Wushuang, make one thing clear today: if a single hair on his head is harmed, I will personally take your worthless head!"
