Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 291: Finally Met!

Meanwhile—

The Li Family had mobilized the entire city’s forces. After finding Li Tianhong dumped by the roadside, they immediately activated all the city’s power, offering a bounty and manhunt for Chen Xiao and his companions.

The Fragrant City’s security forces, city defense troops, and numerous civilian gang organizations were all mobilized.

Under the high bounty offered by the Li Family, those people were all seeing red.

A bounty of one billion, who wouldn’t want it?

Meanwhile, in the car, Xu Meimei, having received the news, immediately informed Chen Xiao about the bounty on him.

"Mr. Chen, the Li Family is deeply entrenched in Fragrant City, and within the official system, many have close ties with them. These armed forces should not be underestimated, but our Hundred Flowers Pavilion’s intelligence network is not to be trifled with either."

"It’s not easy for them to find us quickly."

Xu Meimei avoided the heavily guarded routes, smoothly arriving at the docks without obstruction.

The docks were crowded like a sea of people.

Numerous merchant and cargo ships were docked here.

Soon, a seemingly humble middle-aged couple disembarked from a ship.

They picked up Chen Xiao and his group onto the boat.

"This couple are our Hundred Flowers Pavilion’s informants, having close collaborative ties with us."

"They go to sea often and are familiar with maritime conditions."

Xu Meimei introduced them to Chen Xiao.

The man among the middle-aged couple chuckled, "Indeed, Mr. Chen, rest assured travelling with us."

"We’ll ensure you’re safe and sound."

"Over the years, escorting clients has earned us quite a bit of money."

"We are quite well known in the industry."

Chen Xiao said nothing, only asking, "How long to get to this point on the map?"

"Five hours," the middle-aged man responded.

"Alright!" Chen Xiao closed his eyes, "Try to speed up."

"Speeding up is a bit risky..." The man looked troubled.

"I’ll pay extra!"

"Alright then."

After negotiating the price, they set sail to sea directly.

An hour later.

Chen Xiao stood at the bow of the deck, staring intently at the opposite coastline, eyes full of worry.

It had been almost half a day since Xu Yanran sent him a message!

He didn’t know what their current situation was.

Though he appeared calm, inside, his heart was turbulent.

No matter what, he had to go to the scene to see what exactly was happening!

Besides, judging by Xu Yanran’s tone, this scheme seemed to include him in it?

If that was the case, if he didn’t go to the scene, perhaps Xu Yanran and the others still had a chance to survive!

He also believed that Leng Baiyu and her crew wouldn’t be easily outsmarted!!

Xu Meimei came over from behind Chen Xiao, comforting him, "Mr. Chen, don’t worry too much, right now, Master Ye is doing everything he can to gather intelligence."

"Moreover, Chief Instructor Leng is extraordinarily capable, no matter what crisis she encounters, I believe she can overcome it!"

"Perhaps they are already out of danger, just temporarily out of contact."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "Have you found out who attended that auction?"

"Not yet." Xu Meimei shook her head, "Those customers are high-level clients of the Li Family! It’s difficult for us to track down clues!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have forced Li Jiaming to spill the details about those people too." Chen Xiao’s eyes were cold; he had been too anxious at that moment, forgetting this matter.

"Nevertheless! If anything happens to my senior sister and Yanran, I’ll make them all pay!"

A terrifying murderous aura burst from Chen Xiao.

Xu Meimei felt it hard to breathe and instinctively moved slightly away from Chen Xiao.

At this moment, Lu Rugao also came over, looking annoyed, "I don’t know what you’re holding on to, Leng Baiyu is the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Soul Sect, surely you know the value of that identity!"

"Can those who dare set her up be simple people?"

"The moment she stepped onto that yacht, the net had long been set for her."

"To put it bluntly..."

"By the time you get there, you won’t see anything good, and might end up implicating yourself."

Chen Xiao’s eyes were a bit cold, "Do you like making sarcastic remarks?"

Lu Rugao’s mouth curved slightly, "I’m just stating facts!"

"But your words are displeasing, really angering!" Chen Xiao grabbed her over.

"W-what do you want to do?" Lu Rugao looked panicked.

"You know very well, don’t you?" Chen Xiao pressed her head down, "If you provoke my temper, you’ll have to bear the responsibility."

"You... you’re crazy." Lu Rugao felt utterly humiliated, especially with others present.

"Meimei, step aside," Chen Xiao said blandly, "And tell that couple to behave, I’ll pay extra."

"Okay." Xu Meimei’s face was blush red, and she quickly left.

This... was a bit too wild, wasn’t it?

Have to say, on this vast sea, it somehow feels a bit romantic, though it’s a pity, not sure if Mr. Chen could ever look at her?

She quickly discarded those messy thoughts and returned to the cabin.

While Lu Rugao’s face was pale.

"Chen Xiao, I was wrong."

Her eyes pleaded.

"Does an apology work?" Chen Xiao showed no mercy, "You don’t want to be thrown overboard, do you?"

Lu Rugao turned to run.

If this guy really gets his way, then what?

She’d never face Xu Meimei and the others again.

Chen Xiao directly grabbed her back, placing her at the edge of the boat.

Her body wobbled dangerously.

"Ah—"

Lu Rugao screamed.

"You’d better not move." Chen Xiao stated flatly, "If you fall into the sea, I’m not responsible."

Hearing this, Lu Rugao quickly wrapped her legs around Chen Xiao’s waist in fear.

"Chen Xiao, Brother Chen, Daddy... let me down, I was wrong, okay?"

Staring at the deep sea below, Lu Rugao felt her heart about to leap out.

Chen Xiao moved swiftly, experienced and adept.

The most hateful part was, Lu Rugao had no way to resist, her body leaning against the side of the ship, clutching Chen Xiao’s neck tightly just to ensure she didn’t fall!

"Be careful, don’t push me down." Lu Rugao bit her silver teeth tightly, at this moment, feeling like she was dancing on the edge of a cliff, indescribably thrilling, terrifying, exhilarating...

She clung tightly to Chen Xiao.

Her arches straightened, then released, then straightened again...

More wretched than ever before, in just a few minutes, she was already lacking air.

"Quick, let me go." Lu Rugao bit her lips, glaring at Chen Xiao, nearly begging, "I have no strength left to hold onto you, I’m really going to fall."

Chen Xiao didn’t say a word and directly lifted her up.

"You..."

Lu Rugao’s anger was useless, she felt like she was adrift in this boundless sea, waves surging relentlessly one over another.

In the end, Lu Rugao was finally put down, weakly slumping onto the deck.

The pent-up anger in Chen Xiao’s heart somewhat alleviated.

Seems like keeping Lu Rugao nearby was a wise decision.

A couple of minutes later, Xu Meimei opened the door between the cabin and the deck, saying, "Mr. Chen, dinner is ready."

"Were you watching all this time?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"I wasn’t! I didn’t! How could I be such a person?" Xu Meimei quickly denied, thrice.

"Then how come you showed up so timely?!" Lu Rugao glared at her furiously, feeling deeply ashamed.

"Uh, well..."

Xu Meimei coughed slightly, "I didn’t hear Miss Lu’s sound, so I came over."

"You..." Hearing this, Lu Rugao wished to find a hole to burrow into.

"I’m not eating! You guys go ahead!" She struggled to stand, and her first move was to drink a glass of water.

It made her feel a bit better.

Then she hid in a room, unwilling to come out.

She was too embarrassed to face the other three.

The boat wasn’t big, when she was at the side earlier, the fear made her voice loud, hard for others not to hear.

So humiliating!

On the other side, Chen Xiao ate various high-protein foods prepared by the couple for him while listening to Xu Meimei’s report.

"Mr. Chen, we are just over thirty kilometers from the red point."

"We should soon see that yacht."

Chen Xiao’s heart trembled, "Good!"

After the meal, Chen Xiao went out to the deck, gazing into the distance. In less than ten minutes, he spotted a massive luxury yacht appearing on the opposite coastline!

Xu Meimei also shouted excitedly, "That’s the Li Family’s Tian Ding No.1, that’s the one!"
