Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 68 - 69: The Queen Arrives on the River!

In the entire Grand Xia Nation, the only woman Qin Long wanted to protect was Tang Xuewu.

"Qin Long, how could you do this?" a woman next to him scolded angrily. "Your Auntie Lan has been so good to you. How could you be so ungrateful? To tell you the truth, if it were me, I would have kicked you out long ago!"

"I, Zhang Meilan, have a clear conscience where you are concerned! Have I ever once slighted you in your daily life?" Zhang Meilan wiped the tears from her face, ready to physically grab Qin Long. "If you had any sense at all, you’d pack your things and get out right now! From this day forward, you and Xuewu are to cut all ties!"

Qin Long’s expression turned ice-cold, his aura brimming with murderous intent. He was the commander of the one-million-strong Heavenly Dragon Army and the foremost among the four War Venerables in terms of sheer power. When had anyone ever dared to lay hands on him like this? Forget a petty woman like Zhang Meilan; even a War King with psychic abilities wouldn’t be so bold.

Yet the shrewish Zhang Meilan cared nothing for his status and was about to tear his shirt to shreds.

Unable to watch any longer, Tang Xuewu stepped in front of Qin Long and said impatiently, "Mom, what’s gotten into you today?"

"He’s driving me insane! How much longer do you plan to cling to this cripple?" Zhang Meilan shot back, her gaze turning cold as she spoke through gritted teeth. "You’re in the prime of your youth; you could be the lady of a wealthy household! What on earth do you see in him, you stupid girl!"

"Regardless, he must stay until he is fully capable of supporting himself," Tang Xuewu stated, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"He has nothing! He has to be thrown out today!" Zhang Meilan grabbed a nearby broom, ready to swing it at Qin Long in a relentless fit. Now that she had already become a neighborhood laughingstock, she decided to go all out and dispense with all pretenses. As long as the tumor that was Qin Long was excised, her daughter could marry into a wealthy family.

Most of the neighbors watched Qin Long’s plight with unconcealed excitement. It looks like that shrew Zhang Meilan is really determined to drive him out today! That fool is finally getting kicked out!

"This is the cruel reality!" one of them commented.

"If Qin Long had money, Meilan would never chase him away. On the contrary, she’d probably be serving him the finest food and wine."

"Isn’t that the truth? Old Wang who runs the restaurant next door, his youngest son’s arms and legs are twisted like pretzels, but he still managed to marry a beautiful wife, and they even have two sons now."

"When it comes down to it, he’s just penniless and powerless. That’s why they despise him," the onlookers concluded, their voices buzzing.

Just then, the rumbling of sports cars echoed from outside.

The neighbors subconsciously turned to look. A blue supercar led the way, followed by over a dozen other luxury cars of the same color. They gleamed like a procession of sapphires, utterly dazzling to behold. The emblem was two overlapping ’R’s, resembling a white Divine Dragon.

"Holy crap, is that a Rolls-Royce?"

"It is! That car alone costs as much as a large villa! These are some seriously wealthy people!"

"Oh my god, the license plate has eight nines! That plate is priceless!"

"Wait, eight nines... I remember that belongs to..."

The crowd boiled over with excitement. Some snapped photos, while a few young women eagerly stepped forward, striking flirtatious poses. Within seconds, the fleet of luxury cars came to a stop near the Tang Family’s small courtyard.

Tang Xuewu watched, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise. The Rolls-Royce, from its design to its aesthetic, was absolutely top-of-the-line.

Instantly, over a dozen bodyguards in black tactical gear approached the lead car’s doors. Their steps were steady and their expressions fierce; they were clearly not ordinary men. Bodyguards then began to alight from the rest of the vehicles, taking up positions to form a tight perimeter around the Tang Family’s courtyard.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and some instinctively took a few steps back. What kind of big shot is this? There have to be at least fifty bodyguards!

Just then, a woman in black leather pants stepped out of the lead custom Rolls-Royce and personally opened the rear door. A woman who appeared to be in her mid-thirties stepped out slowly. She had a slender figure, was dressed in a white gown, and held a brownish-red smoking pipe between her red lips. The woman had sharp, phoenix-like eyes with a piercingly fierce gaze, made all the more frightening by a deep scar running across her left eye.

"Holy shit, isn’t that Han—"

"That’s right! It’s her! The Underworld Queen of Jiangzhong! She’s famously ruthless."

"They say she’s washed her hands of her old life and runs legitimate businesses now. Her influence is enormous!"

At the sight of the scar on the woman’s face, the neighbors all wanted to flee at a moment’s notice.

This woman was Han Bing, the true Underworld Queen of Jiangzhong. Her methods were vicious, and she was incredibly powerful. Ordinary people didn’t even dare to meet her gaze.

Han Bing strode forward, took a drag from her pipe, and scanned her surroundings, her eyes quickly landing on Qin Long leaning on his cane.

"Mr. Qin, it’s an honor to finally meet you!" Han Bing said, a smile blooming on her face as she walked slowly toward him.

Everyone was stunned and utterly puzzled. This was Han Bing, a woman of immense power. It was said she could make all of Jiangzhong tremble with a single stomp of her foot. She was the former Underworld Queen of Jiangzhong with countless experts at her command. Later, she’d moved into real estate, beauty salons, wellness centers, and entertainment venues. Her net worth was in the billions, and she had close ties to many business magnates. In short, she was an absolute powerhouse.

But how could such a dominant figure be so respectful toward Qin Long? the crowd wondered.

Bowing her head slightly, she personally offered tea to Qin Long, an act that left all onlookers wide-eyed with astonishment. It was simply too shocking. Qin Long knows such a powerful figure?

Zhang Meilan was also completely baffled. She had seen her fair share of important people, and she knew this Han Bing was a true tycoon in Jiangzhong, a woman of unparalleled wealth. Why would she be so polite to my disabled prospective son-in-law, Qin Long?

"Mr. Qin, I have long heard of your great reputation," Han Bing said, her posture humble. The chilling air that usually surrounded her had vanished, replaced by an expression of utter amiability and respect.

However, Qin Long did not accept the tea she respectfully offered.

"Who are you?" Qin Long asked, raising an eyebrow.

At his words, everyone around him drew a sharp, collective breath. Queen Han Bing was personally offering him tea, yet he not only ignored the gesture but publicly humiliated her. Is this young man tired of living?

"Mr. Qin, I am Han Bing!"

To everyone’s amazement, not only did Han Bing not get angry, but her attitude became even more deferential.

"Han Bing?" Qin Long repeated, glancing up at her.

"Yes, indeed. It is I, the humble Han Bing," she replied, bowing deeply as if she were a maidservant.

"Never heard of you," Qin Long said coldly, looking back down.

Han Bing’s expression changed drastically in an instant, and the onlookers were similarly struck dumb, as if by lightning.

Frightened, Zhang Meilan quickly pulled Tang Xuewu backward. I don’t know why Han Bing is here, but she’s an untouchable, taboo figure in Jiangzhong’s underworld! As a former Underworld Queen, she’s notorious for being sinister and ruthless. Even though she’s more low-key now, she has only hidden her true nature, a fact that’s clear to anyone with eyes. Now that Qin Long has offended her, he’s probably done for. I don’t care if Qin Long lives or dies; I’m only worried that my precious daughter will be implicated!

But in the next second, Han Bing’s expression shifted again. She looked down at Qin Long, her deferential smile returning.

"Mr. Qin, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of me. What matters is that I have certainly heard of you... I’ve arranged a banquet at the Longquan Hotel and hope you will do me the honor of attending..."
