Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 98 - 99 Yang Fei’s Bold Bet!

"Pass the word. Tonight, we’re swallowing up all of Han Bing’s territory. We must become the supreme underground power in the Jiangzhong region before dawn."

Yang Fei’s voice was firm and left no room for argument. At her side, Chen Kun was somewhat dazed.

"Fei, this is too rash! We’ll definitely be crushed. We need to think this through carefully." Chen Kun immediately raised a hand to stop her, insisting that such an operation required meticulous planning. A single careless move could get them all wiped out.

"What’s there to fear? The big boss has our back," Yang Fei retorted. "Since he told us to clean up the battlefield, I’m willing to take the risk. What have we ever accomplished by being timid? Pass this order down as well: from now on, all our people must address this man, Qin Long, as ’Young Master Qin.’ Otherwise, it’s a death sentence!"

Yang Fei gestured grandly, her tone resolute.

Chen Kun scratched his head as things suddenly started to click into place. So, Qin Long was having them directly take over all of Han Bing’s businesses? That man was truly formidable. Even the officials from the Supervision Division had shown up in person for him. Fei’s plan was clearly to cling to Qin Long’s coattails. That way, many of their future endeavors would face no obstructions.

Although Yang Fei had never met Qin Long, she was extremely curious about him. Chen Kun didn’t dare defy her orders and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Yang Fei watched Chen Kun’s retreating figure. Qin Long is a really interesting person. I hope you don’t disappoint me... Oh, how I’d love to get to know you better, Young Master Qin. She drained the tea cup in her hand in one gulp, then gave a foxy smile.

「The next day.」

Qin Long personally drove Tang Xuewu to her company. The driver, Zi’er, had been recommended by Zhao Ruoying. She was skilled in martial arts and was also a very steady driver. She was very rational, knowing what to do and what not to do. Her stance was particularly impressive, making Qin Long feel as if she had been in the military. He was very satisfied.

Still, he cautioned Tang Xuewu not to reveal everything. While one must not harbor evil intentions, one must always guard against others. He was only in his current predicament because he had trusted his senior martial brother, Qiu Hu, too much and was ambushed. It was all for the seat of Commander of the Heavenly Dragon Army. But Qiu Hu hadn’t obtained the position easily, either. After all, the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Army’s Commander was above that of the other War Venerables, and it also required the personal approval of Emperor Daxia himself.

So many years of brotherhood couldn’t compare to that commander’s seat. Qin Long felt a profound chill. He remembered their time as martial brothers, training and fighting in wars together.

Brother Hu, if you wanted the commander’s position, you could have just said so. Why resort to such despicable means? Even Lingyue, our younger martial sister, trusted you so much. I, Qin Long, will not spare you.

He couldn’t help but clench his fists.

"Long, what are you looking at?" Tang Xuewu had been sitting beside him the whole time and noticed him staring blankly at her. Her lovely face flushed.

"I was just thinking how beautiful you are," Qin Long immediately snapped out of it, a mischievous smile on his face.

Tang Xuewu playfully tapped his shoulder with her fist, then trotted out of the car. Employees nearby immediately came up to greet her. News that Tang Xuewu’s family had bought a custom Rolls-Royce Princess Edition had spread quickly throughout the company. It was Qin Long who had personally paid for it! Envious glances followed her everywhere.

"Xuewu, I’ll come pick you up after work!" Qin Long called out to her.

"Mhm," she replied, her face full of smiles as she waved back. "Come early, and I’ll make you steamed sturgeon tonight."

At his side, Zi’er looked on, incredibly envious of Tang Xuewu. "Young Master Qin, you really care a lot about Miss Xuewu. Your eyes are full of her. It’s an adoring look."

Upon hearing this, Qin Long laughed. "She’s the only woman for me in this life. Alright, let’s head to Yaolong Group."

He and Zhao Ruoying had agreed to meet at Yaolong Group to retrieve the Snow Heart Grass.

Zi’er nodded and was about to set off when a hurried voice came from outside the car.

"Long! Long!"

"Stop!" Qin Long called out to Zi’er, immediately lowering the window. It was Tang Xuewu’s anxious voice.

"It’s terrible! Dad called and said Grandpa suddenly collapsed! He said he’s been rushed to the emergency room. Hurry, let’s go to the hospital!" Tang Xuewu ran back, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.

No matter how harshly old Mr. Tang had treated her and her family, in the kind-hearted Tang Xuewu’s eyes, he was still her grandfather. She shared his blood.

"Don’t panic."

Tang Xuewu found his reaction puzzling. Qin Long simply nodded slightly, as if he already knew what had happened. She got into the car, and they immediately headed for Jiangzhong First People’s Hospital.

"Qin Long, I remember you have medical skills. Did you already know about his condition?" Tang Xuewu couldn’t help but ask, seeing his composed appearance.

"Your grandfather already had a chronic illness," Qin Long explained. "The Spiritual Wine I gave him last time could have instantly restored his health and made him much stronger, but you know Wang Ming smashed it." He waved a hand helplessly. Old Mr. Tang’s condition was well within his predictions. "I gave him the Spiritual Wine, but it was slandered as poison. There was nothing I could do."

"Qin Long, can you please let bygones be bygones?" Tang Xuewu pleaded, leaning close to him in her urgency. Her warm breath brushed his face as she clutched his arm tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with desperation. "I remember your massage skills are incredible. Can you please save Grandpa?"

"I suppose I could," Qin Long said, seeing she was on the verge of tears.

Hearing this, Tang Xuewu immediately beamed with joy.

"But I don’t want to."

Qin Long, who never refused Tang Xuewu anything, unexpectedly hardened his expression and declined.

"Qin Long, how could you be like this?" Tang Xuewu bit her lip, clearly annoyed.

"Life, old age, sickness, and death are the laws of nature. I can’t save everyone, and I have no reason to save others," Qin Long stated, his stance firm. "In the entire Tang Family, you’re the only one I care about. I would go through hell and high water for you, but I have no obligation to help anyone else."

It wasn’t that Qin Long was cruel. But to someone like him, who had seen so much death, this was truly nothing. Moreover, old Mr. Tang had always scorned him. Just because Tang Xuewu had saved him, her grandfather had given their entire family the cold shoulder for three long years. Even Qin Long’s medical expenses were money Tang Xuewu had painstakingly saved. In those three years, had old Mr. Tang ever cared whether he lived or died? Now that the old man was suddenly ill, why should Qin Long lift a finger to save him? Wouldn’t that be demeaning? He was no saint.

"Long..." Tang Xuewu looked at him again with teary eyes, tugging at his arm.

She understood how he felt. After years of mockery and cold stares from the Tang Family, it was perfectly normal for him to have reservations about saving her grandfather.

"Qin Long, I don’t want to force you," Tang Xuewu said, lowering her head, a conflicted look on her pretty face. "But if you can save him, I still hope you can let go of our past grudges and help him..."
