Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Wu Mingde was unmoved by his daughter's curses and insults.

He clenched his fists tightly; if not for the presence of many villagers around.

He would definitely have charged at Xia Liu.

Of course, he might have died before even reaching Xia Liu.

"Xia Liu, do you really have to be so heartless?" Wu Mingde roared angrily, discarding his subservient demeanor.

"What ties do I have with you?"

Xia Liu felt inexplicably amused—it must be only the second time he had met this man, and yet here he was, talking about being heartless. If he had a daughter like a fairy, then maybe there could be some emotional connection.

But your daughter is not even as good as a pig, and you're talking about ties?

"Very well, very well! If I can't live, neither will you!" Unable to hold back any longer, Wu Mingde pointed directly at Xia Liu.

"Wu Mingde, I just want to ask you one question, what right do you have to go back to work at the company?" At this moment, Mo Wanqing could not sit still any longer. She stepped out from the crowd and confronted Wu Mingde face to face.

"Mo... Chairman Mo!" Wu Mingde's eyes widened upon seeing Mo Wanqing.

He never expected to see this major boss in Osmanthus Village.

"The business matters are trifling, but during your three years as the head of the sales department, how many benefits you have taken by leveraging your position, I won't even mention. You went behind my back to provide company information to another group, for that alone, I could call the police and have you arrested!"

Mo Wanqing was truly angry, not just because of Xia Liu.

She had been holding back all this while, wanting to give Wu Mingde a chance, a chance to turn a blind eye.

Since he dared to threaten Xia Liu, he should be prepared to pay the corresponding price!

"Ah! Chairman, spare me, I was confused!" Wu Mingde fell to his knees once again.

Selling company secrets for a high price to another enterprise is a crime punishable by imprisonment.

But Wu Mingde had tasted some minor sweetness before and then committed a major crime.

Thinking it was a foolproof plan, he didn't realize that it had already been discovered.

Now, he profoundly regretted coming here.

The issue now was not just about his job but involved his future fate.

If Mo Wanqing pursued the matter thoroughly, he could face imprisonment and his properties could even be frozen.

Then he would truly have nothing left.

Seeing the distressed expression on her father's face, Wu Lili knew something serious had happened.

If it had been earlier, she would definitely have jumped out and cursed.

Now, she stood there, not daring to say a single word.

Zhang Kuang was completely dumbfounded; although he was not well-educated, he understood all too well the glaring topic of incarceration.

He was the one who regretted it the most. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would have quickly arranged everything.

And taken all of Wu Mingde's money.

"You have worked in the company for ten years, remembering your contributions and hardships, I haven't taken action against you, but why did you have to follow me here? Did you really think I wouldn't be ruthless?"

"Chairman, I was wrong, truly wrong. My daughter is about to give birth, my son-in-law has suffered comminuted fractures in both arms, I really realize my mistake now. If I go to prison, this household might truly lose all hope," Wu Mingde pleaded, incessantly hitting his head against the ground, not even ten seconds had passed.

His forehead was already stained with blood.

"Ah, Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang, you clearly know the child isn't yours, I really don't understand, you'll do anything for money." Seeing his bitter face, Xia Liu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Aunt Qing, let's just let them go today. If he dares to offend you or the company again in the future, just deliver justice fairly," Xia Liu didn't want to push them to the brink.

After these events, perhaps Wu Mingde, Wu Lili, and Zhang Kuang might change.

The most important thing was, he was quite curious to know how Zhang Kuang would treat the child in Wu Lili's womb in the future.

Would he live with it, or run away after taking Wu Mingde's money?[These are all matters for later on.]

"Did you hear? I hope there won't be a next time, as for favors, you don't deserve a second one!"

"Thank you, Chairman, thank you, Chairman!"

Wu Mingde kowtowed deeply, then quickly ran off, pulling Wu Lili and Zhang Kuang along with him.

He feared that if he delayed any longer, Mo Wanqing might change her mind, and he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Throughout it all, Zhang Qing had not said a word.

She had long understood that her collaboration with Zhang Kuang was over, and from now on, the only person she could rely on was Xia Liu.

As Zhang Kuang left, the people of Osmanthus Village cheered.

From now on, they would no longer suffer under Zhang Kuang's bullying, nor see his disgusting face—this was indeed a great relief.

By late afternoon, Mo Wanqing and the others had successively left.

Xia Liu had been busy for nothing today with Li Qianqian; he hadn't managed to get any useful information out of her.

If it hadn't been for Li Zhong being there, he was sure the girl would have torn him apart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was no choice, he had to take it slow and steady, step by step, one day he would get the answers he wanted.

After ending the feast, Xia Liu and Zhang Xiaoxue slowly walked on the road home.

Xia Liu had said before that once the road was repaired, he would come clean to Zhang Xiaoxue.

But now that the day had come, he realized he seemed to lack the courage to speak up.

The two of them had been silent, and with the tranquility of the dusk, the atmosphere had become eerily quiet.

Zhang Xiaoxue had drunk a bit of alcohol earlier, and walking shoulder to shoulder with Xia Liu, the flush on her face had spread to her neck.

"Brother Xia Liu, I..."

"Xiaoxue, there's something I need to tell you."

Just as Zhang Xiaoxue was about to confess her feelings, Xia Liu spoke up first.

"Ah, Brother Xia Liu, go ahead." Zhang Xiaoxue was very nervous, her fingers intertwined, her head bowed.

"I've had an affair with Sister Zhang, and not just once, I have to take responsibility..."

"I know about you and Sister Zhang." This time it was Zhang Xiaoxue who interrupted Xia Liu.

Holy shit!

Xia Liu stopped in his tracks, stunned as he looked at Zhang Xiaoxue.

She actually knew! She actually knew!

This was somewhat terrifying, how could she know, could it be Zhang Qing had told her.

That shouldn't be possible, Zhang Qing had confessed before that without his permission, she wouldn't tell.

Could it be Zhang Xiaoxue found out by herself?

That's even more impossible; ever since he was discovered at the beach by Zhang Xiaoman, Xia Liu had been extremely cautious, always extra observant of his surroundings each time.

Zhang Xiaoman!

It must have been her who told!

"Xiaoxue, how did you know?"

Uncertain, Xia Liu finally asked.

"I'm an adult, an adult, you often go to Sister Zhang's house, and each visit lasts several hours..."

Towards the end, Zhang Xiaoxue's face grew even more flushed; had Xia Liu not spoken, she might have just suspected some secret activity between the two.

Now that he had spoken, it confirmed her suspicions were correct.

"You already know, then why still..."

Xia Liu didn't continue, perhaps being a bit ambiguous could give them a better way to face each other.
