The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 391 - : Huang Xiaolong VS Jiang Chenxi!

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Huang Xiaolong VS Jiang Chenxi!

Huang Xiaolong found himself cornered within an alley by goons swarming in from both ends. Their weapons in hand glistened with a chilling gleam under the moonlight.

Suddenly!

Several of them made a motion towards Huang Xiaolong, their swift hands scattering a huge cloud of white powder enveloping him.

With just a hint of the scent, Huang Xiaolong knew, it was lime powder.

Quick as a flash, no sooner had the lime powder been spread when this mob of thugs brandished their knives and metal pipes, charging at Huang Xiaolong.

Very clever; first throw the lime powder, and then pounce to kill. A well-rehearsed routine, it seemed, a technique they’ve clearly mastered. Who knows how many innocent lives they’ve taken this way.

A gleam flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, and he propelled himself forward as if a tank, plunging into the crowd!

With casual ease, he broke their limbs, or their ribs…

Like an irate giant, destroying a pile of toys.

Three minutes later…

Huang Xiaolong leisurely walked out of the alley, muttering to himself, “Jiang Chengxi, quite the ruthless fiend, huh…heh, barely had our paths crossed before he’s arranging for my execution…Hahaha, amusing, it truly is amusing. Well then, tomorrow, tomorrow night, I’ll show you why the flower is so red… Did you think merely possessing dozens of spirits within you could put the whole world at your mercy? Heh…”

Huang Xiaolong left with a chilling chuckle.

He didn’t kill those goons either, but merely maimed them, leaving them crippled and wishing for death.

He drove home.

Took a bath.

Then got into bed.

After fooling around on WeChat for a while. Liu Feilei sent over many audio messages, pouring out her full-hearted sentiments. This straightforward girl had already fallen head over heels for Huang Xiaolong, forever and always.

Of course, in regards to his first true love, Huang Xiaolong was quite fond of her as well.

The next day!

Dusk!

Sea Port Villa Area!

Fang Shijie’s home!

The lawn in front of the villa was lighted up, with several dining tables and chairs arranged.

A dozen or so guests were engaged in hushed, discreet conversations.

Zhaoyue and her mother were working together, bringing out the delicacies from the kitchen and placing them on the dining table.

Today, it was Zhaoyue’s grandfather’s, Mayor Fang Shijie’s father’s, ninetieth birthday.

The elder was a military man, a life of service has made him a quite reputed figure. However, he was now on the brink of becoming a septuagenarian, his health declining with every passing day, to the point where it seemed he was nearly at the end of his time.

The guests who came to pay their respects all knew, the elder man wouldn’t last this year!

But, birth, aging, sickness and death are apart of life. The old man wasn’t suffering from any incurable diseases, he was just living out his natural life. Thus, the air wasn’t gloomy with sadness.

“Ah~~ the elder’s life can truly be called legendary. Let’s keep him company and celebrate his last birthday.”

“Age eventually catches up to everyone. The elder man, at ninety years old, what hasn’t he seen? In passing, he probably wouldn’t have many regrets.”

“However, with the elder man’s passing, it may pose some challenges to Mayor Fang’s future career.”

“True. With the elder man around, people from all walks of life would still give him face, but once he is gone… Ah!”

“I heard that a standing committee position at the provincial level is vacant. Originally, Shijie was likely to get the job. But at this critical juncture, the elder man’s health gave out… Life is unpredictable. If the elder man could have survived a few more years, it would have been significantly beneficial for Shijie’s future…”

…

At this moment, Fang Shijie pushed out a wheelchair with his own hands.

On the wheelchair, a frail old man sat.

The old man’s face was full of age spots and wrinkles; he was well advanced in years.

His eyes were somewhat clouded.

This was none other than Fang Shijie’s father.

“Ah~~~Dad, today is your birthday, do you see? So many people have come to give you their birthday greetings~~” Fang Shijie whispered lightly in the old man’s ear.

“Hmm~~” The old man was very conscious, just extremely weak in spirit. He broke into a relieved smile. “Good, good, very good… Shijie, you will have to depend on yourself from now on. It’s a pity~~ Your promotion to the provincial committee was almost a done deal. If only I could live a couple more years, it would be as good as sealed. Alas!… Time is unforgiving.”

“Dad, let’s not talk about these things.” Fang Shijie’s voice was choked, “Dad, as long as you are healthy, our family will be very happy. Let things on the official scene take their own course.”

It is well understood that people always strive to climb higher; officials want promotions. It’s only natural.

How could Fang Shijie not want a promotion?

However, given his father’s current state, it was really inappropriate to talk about this topic anymore, so as not to affect his father’s mood.

With his days numbered, let the old man live his last few months in peace.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in Fang Shijie’s eyes. “Dad, today, I invited a guest over for you, someone you’ve met, Jiang Chenxi, Xiao Jiang. He is very talented and highly accomplished in medicine. Xiao Jiang promised to come over tonight to see you. Maybe, he can miraculously prolong your life for a few years…”

“Xiao Jiang?” The old man showed a hint of recollection, and then, a hint of displeasure. “I don’t like this youngster. There’s something weird and sinister about him…”

“Dad, don’t have any preconceptions about Xiao Jiang. He comes from a very ordinary background, not a rich second generation. He has fought his way to where he is today purely on his own abilities. Although there are some rumors about him in society, no one can provide evidence that he has ulterior motives.” It seems, Fang Shijie held Jiang Chenxi in high regard, “Dad, I’ve seen quite a few talented individuals. In Binhai, young people who are more capable than Xiao Jiang are rare… Of course, it’s not that there aren’t any—”

While speaking, Fang Shijie couldn’t help but glance towards the villa where Huang Xiaolong was residing.

At this time, the guests all gently stepped forward and murmured the most sincere blessings to the old man.

Just then…

“Uncle Fang, Auntie, Zhaoyue, old man, I’m here.” A dignified male voice echoed.

Only to see, Jiang Chenxi, dressed in white, walked straight up.

The people present, almost all recognized or had seen Jiang Chenxi in newspapers. They were all curious and admiring towards this legend who had risen like a comet in recent years. For a while, many people nodded and greeted Jiang Chenxi.

“Zhaoyue, Xiao Jiang is here, you go over and say hello.” Mother Fang smiled at Fang Zhaoyue.

“Mom~~ I really don’t want to go. I’m not familiar with him at all.” Fang Zhaoyue protested. Meanwhile, her gaze also turned to the villa where Huang Xiaolong was residing.

Mother Fang chuckled, then lowered her voice and said, “Xiao Jiang is the boyfriend your dad picked for you, my dear daughter, don’t you fancy him?”

“Mom! If you say that again, I’m going to be angry!” Fang Zhaoyue’s face showed displeasure.

“Fine, fine, I won’t say it. As your mother, do I not know what’s on your mind? Have you set your sights on Master Long?” Mother Fang giggled. “I too think Master Long is more reliable than Xiao Jiang, but didn’t Master Long ignore you? Unlike Xiao Jiang who pursued you relentlessly… A woman, indeed, finding a man she loves is the best. However, sometimes finding someone who loves you can also lead to a lifetime of happiness.”

Over there, Fang Shijie had already come up to greet them, his face all enthusiasm. “Xiao Jiang, you’re here? Come here and see the old man.”

Jiang Chenxi courteously smiled. “Uncle Fang, rest assured, today, I’ll do my best to have the old man live happily for another seven or eight years!”

Just at this moment!

Huang Xiaolong sauntered into the lawn.

“Little Long! You have finally come!” As soon as Fang Zhaoyue saw Huang Xiaolong, her eyes lit up and she ran towards Huang Xiaolong.

“This child~~~” Mother Fang shook her head meaningfully as she watched Fang Zhaoyue’s retreating figure. “It’s done, it’s done, looks like she’s set her heart on Master Long.”

The moment Fang Shijie saw Huang Xiaolong, his eyes lit up. He patted Jiang Chenxi’s shoulder without delay. “What a coincidence today, come, Xiao Jiang, I will introduce you. Ha ha ha~~ Today, the two young people who I value the most in Binhai have actually met! Good, good, very good!”

Jiang Chenxi turned around to see Fang Zhaoyue dancing like a jubilant skylark around Huang Xiaolong. Jealousy raging inside him, he removed his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and then squinted at Huang Xiaolong. His gaze was as threatening as that of a vengeful venomous snake!
