Medical and Martial God-Chapter 55 I Really Was Blind

"Call the lawyers and the relevant personnel. Have them come here to sign the contract. My people will be arriving soon," Ye Xiu said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xing Feihu trembled as he quickly took out his phone and began to make one call after another.

Ye Xiu also took out his phone. He called Qin Qing and instructed her to send someone to the Guifu Mansion to handle the handover from the Xing Family.

Qin Qing was shocked. "So this is how you rob people?"

"Watch your words. I’m a legitimate businessman; I just sell different things. Others sell goods, I sell lives. The Xing Family is more than happy to spend money to buy their own lives back," Ye Xiu explained. He intensely disliked the word ’rob,’ as it didn’t suit his temperament.

Qin Qing replied, "Heh..."

After hanging up, Ye Xiu sent a text message to Mo Luo, then turned to Xing Feihu impatiently. "Why isn’t the food here yet? I’m starving!"

"Yes, yes, I’ll go rush them right away." Xing Feihu promptly called the kitchen to hurry up with the dishes.

Soon, the food was served.

Ye Xiu devoured his meal, speaking as he ate. "You all should eat, too. I can’t finish all this by myself."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xing Feihu and Ming Shixiong quickly picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Murong didn’t touch her food. She watched Ye Xiu, shocked. What on earth did this man go through in the ten years he was missing? He’s sitting right next to the dead Xue Wanchun, yet he can still eat like this. She had no appetite at all.

Xing Feihu was also eating without tasting anything, simply forcing food into his mouth.

Ming Shixiong’s feelings were even more complicated. Ye Xiu had killed Xue Wanchun and seized the Xing Family’s fortune, yet he had done nothing to him. But I’m the main culprit! What is Ye Xiu planning? Is he going to kill me after we finish eating?

At the thought, Ming Shixiong grew so scared that his trembling hand could barely hold his chopsticks steady enough to pick up food. This feeling of waiting for death was more terrifying than being killed outright.

Finally, Ming Shixiong couldn’t bear the fear any longer. He abruptly stood, ran to Ye Xiu’s side, and fell to his knees. "Everything back then was my doing! It has nothing to do with the rest of the Ming Family! If you want to kill someone, just kill me! I beg you, spare the others..."

Ye Xiu smiled. This was exactly the state of mind he had wanted to see in Ming Shixiong.

"Don’t be afraid," he said with a smile. "I don’t feel like killing anyone today. When I do, I’ll come find you. And rest assured, I won’t let a single member of the Ming Family go. After you’re done eating, go home and wait to die. Be good now."

Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, Ming Shixiong completely broke down. Go home and wait to die? He had only been waiting for a few moments and already couldn’t stand the fear. According to Ye Xiu, not only did he have to wait for death, but the rest of the Ming Family did as well. And they would never know when Ye Xiu would decide to strike.

"Eat!" Ye Xiu commanded.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The seventy-something-year-old Ming Shixiong shot up like a spring and scurried back to his seat, where he began to eat furiously. His speed and agility would have put a young man to shame.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ye Xiu left the private room with Murong.

Downstairs, Ming Yue and Xing Haiqing were waiting in the lobby. They had skipped lunch, hoping to celebrate the good news of Ye Xiu’s death. When they saw Ye Xiu and Murong step out of the elevator, they immediately brightened. Since Ye Xiu had emerged alive, they assumed he had given in to Xing Feihu and Xue Wanchun and agreed to stop retaliating against the Ming Family.

"Ye Xiu, you talk so big, but it turns out there are people you’re afraid of after all," Ming Yue said, blocking his path and taunting him with a sneer.

"How dare you oppose my wife? If my grandfather hadn’t stopped me, I’d fucking kill you!" Xing Haiqing blustered.

Ye Xiu was amused by the two of them. He turned to Murong and asked, "Have you ever seen such idiots?"

"I hadn’t before, but I have now," Murong replied, looking at Ming Yue and Xing Haiqing as if they were fools.

Ming Yue and Xing Haiqing were baffled. Logically, if Ye Xiu had been persuaded by Xing Feihu and Xue Wanchun, he shouldn’t be so arrogant.

Ming Yue demanded, "Ye Xiu, what do you mean by that?"

But Ye Xiu didn’t answer, simply walking away with Murong.

Ming Yue was about to give chase and demand answers when she saw Ming Shixiong stepping out of the elevator. His face was pale, his expression was one of pure panic, and his entire body trembled as he walked.

"Grandpa, what happened to you?" Ming Yue hurried over to support him.

Xing Haiqing ran over as well. "Where are my grandfather and Elder Xue?"

"Xue Wanchun was killed by Ye Xiu," Ming Shixiong said in despair, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant. "Xing Feihu gave the entire Xing Family fortune to him. Ye Xiu told us to go home... and wait to die."

"What?" Ming Yue and Xing Haiqing’s faces changed dramatically.

"Grand-Grandpa, you... you can’t be serious, right?" Ming Yue asked, her face ashen.

Ming Shixiong didn’t answer. He simply dragged his frail, depleted body and staggered toward the door.

Seeing this, Ming Yue and Xing Haiqing finally believed him. The blood drained from their faces. Just moments ago, they had been mocking Ye Xiu, thinking he was afraid of the Xing Family and Tiger Roar Hall. The reality was the complete opposite of what they had imagined.

SMACK!

Xing Haiqing suddenly slapped Ming Yue across the face. "You bitch! You’ve doomed the Xing Family!" he cursed.

SMACK!

Ming Yue slapped him right back. "The Xing Family is worthless now," she said coldly. "You dare take that tone with me?"

"You..." Xing Haiqing clutched his cheek, staring at Ming Yue in disbelief. He couldn’t believe she would say such a thing.

"What? Got a problem with that?" Ming Yue sneered. "Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror? An ugly piece of trash like you, who only knows how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble... you think you’re worthy of being my man?"

With that, she turned and hurried after Ming Shixiong.

Xing Haiqing remained frozen on the spot. He finally understood that Ming Yue had only agreed to marry him to use him and the Xing Family against Ye Xiu. The woman he had loved since he was a child... was this kind of person.

"I must have been fucking blind!" he roared.

Ming Yue didn’t hear his roar. She caught up to Ming Shixiong, and after they got in the car, she asked, "Grandpa, what exactly happened in the private room?"

Even in the car, Ming Shixiong’s body was still trembling, but he still described in detail everything that had transpired.

After listening, Ming Yue also began to tremble with fear. "Doesn’t that mean the lives of everyone in the Ming Family are in Ye Xiu’s hands? That he can kill us whenever he wants?"

"That’s what he meant," Ming Shixiong said. "Moreover, he has evidence of us framing him back then, and of us ordering Fang Dahai to kill his mother and grandparents. Once that gets out, the Ming Family will be doomed beyond recovery."

Ming Yue panicked. For some reason, the image of Ye Xiu slaughtering Fang Dahai flashed through her mind, terrifying her even more. The thought of Ye Xiu chopping off her head one day and placing it before the graves of his mother and grandparents was enough to make her suicidal.

Better to just die than to live in terror every day, waiting for Ye Xiu to come and kill us. Better to die than to worry every day that he’ll release the evidence and doom the Ming Family forever! A quick death would be a relief!

However, Ming Yue was not one to give up easily, nor did she ever readily admit defeat. Despite her absolute terror, she still wanted to try and fight back.

"Grandpa, let’s go to Tiger Roar Hall," Ming Yue said solemnly.
