Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Four Hundred

Long Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with a glint of sharpness.

Logically, the Qiu Family should have been arrested for being involved in such a major case.

As Long Xiaoshan pondered, Qiu Haitang spoke up again, "Mr. Long, aren't you getting in the car?"

No matter what the Qiu Family was scheming, Long Xiaoshan had nothing to fear; such was the confidence that came with strength. He smiled casually and decided to hear what Qiu Haitang wanted to say. He opened the car door and sat inside.

As he got in, he glanced at the driver, an old man in his fifties or sixties. On the surface, the old man seemed ordinary, but his eyes were brimming with sharpness, and his finger joints were thick and strong, with nails unlike those of an ordinary person, possessing a metallic sheen, indicating that he was actually a martial arts expert at the Huang Level Peak.

Long Xiaoshan was genuinely surprised.

The Huang Level Peak might not be impressive in his view now.

But for the secular world, it was already a very rare level of mastery.

This was evident from Yu Cheng.

The last time Yu Cheng came, he easily swept through the underworld forces of Hechuan City, slaying Tang Family experts, and if not for Long Xiaoshan's intervention, Yu Cheng would have already taken control of the underworld in Hechuan City.

Yet the Qiu Family was concealing a high-level expert at Huang Level Peak.

And he was driving for Qiu Haitang.

It made him reconsider the Qiu Family, for he had heard from Li Mengjie that the Qiu Family ranked among the top five in Hechuan City, which was undoubtedly an underestimate. The Qiu Family had a Huang Level Peak expert at their disposal, and everyone had probably underestimated them.

With such strength, sweeping through Hechuan City would be more than feasible.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan occasionally glancing at Uncle Lin, the driver, Qiu Haitang smiled faintly. He had brought Uncle Lin along this time specifically to let Long Xiaoshan know that the Qiu Family was no ordinary clan.

Qiu Haitang said, "Mr. Long, you are now the Dragon Head of Hechuan City's commercial circle, aren't you?"

Long Xiaoshan turned his attention to Qiu Haitang, not at all surprised that Qiu Haitang knew of his position as Dragon Head. Given the Qiu Family's strength, it was likely that they had already thoroughly investigated him.

Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, "What Dragon Head or not, I never bother with the affairs of the chamber of commerce. It's just a nominal title."

"Haha, Mr. Long is too modest. Mr. Long is only twenty this year, aren't you? To sit in such a high position at this age, even to say 'a young hero emerges' would be an understatement. Our Qiu Family has long admired Mr. Long's name but never had the chance to meet you. Seeing you today proves your reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Listening to Qiu Haitang's insincere flattery devoid of substance,

Long Xiaoshan grew annoyed. He had never had a good impression of the Qiu Family, whether it was Qiu Chen's using of driving tactics to toy with Chun Tao or the living hell he witnessed the previous night,

making him unwilling to indulge in false pleasantries with Qiu Haitang. He decided to cut to the chase, "Qiu Haitang, let's be direct. I'm well aware that you're approaching me now because of what I did to Hua Qing and his cronies yesterday."

Qiu Haitang's face stiffened.

Such impolite words from Long Xiaoshan made it difficult for him to save face.

To be called by his name by a twenty-year-old whippersnapper, even if he was the so-called head of the chamber of commerce, was an affront to Qiu Haitang.

However, he had always been very deep and calculating; even if he was furious inside, he wouldn't show it on his face.

After taking a puff from his smoking pipe, Qiu Haitang had calmed down and said, "Mr. Long, what happened with Hua Qing is Hua Qing's business. What does it have to do with our Qiu Family?"

"Really?" Long Xiaoshan scoffed, "Well, last night I did ask Hua Qing, and he threatened me, saying he was backed by Second Lord Qiu of the Qiu Family. If I touched him, it would be like challenging the Qiu Family, and that they would come after me."

Qiu Haitang laughed and said, "That's all nonsense from Hua Qing. Our Qiu Family has always abided by the law. He's just relying on knowing my second brother to slander us. Now that Hua Qing has confessed, he will certainly be sentenced to death. Mr. Long, even big issues will become a thing of the past."

Long Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes.

He had detected from Qiu Haitang's tone that Hua Qing had surely taken all the blame upon himself.

Moreover, Hua Qing had been abandoned by the Qiu Family and had become a scapegoat.

The implication of Qiu Haitang's words was clearly to warn him to let the matter end here, to accept Hua Qing's death as the closure and not to pursue it further.

However, when Long Xiaoshan thought about the cruel bloodshed in that unfinished building and the numerous white bones underneath it.

He couldn't just sit by and ignore it. If he let this matter end like this, and the true mastermind continued to roam free, he would undoubtedly be haunted by a demon in his heart. Therefore, even if it were the Tang Family, the foremost noble family in Xichuan, they couldn't stop him from pursuing justice.

Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, "Whether Hua Qing is slandering the Qiu Family or not can be clarified by simply bringing Second Lord Qiu in for questioning. Since the Qiu Family has a clear conscience, this request shouldn't be too much to fulfill, right?"

Qiu Haitang's face turned cold. He hadn't expected that after saying so much, Long Xiaoshan would give such a response, obviously indicating his intention to continue investigating.

His tone also became grave, "Does this mean, Mr. Long, that you are determined to make enemies with our Qiu Family?"

"No, I just don't want the resentful spirits under that unfinished building to come after me in the future. Mr. Qiu, until we meet again," Long Xiaoshan said as he pushed open the car door and stepped out.

Slap!

Qiu Haitang watched Long Xiaoshan's retreating figure with a chilling gaze and snapped his pipe with force.

...

A Buick van sped along the mountain road. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

The third row of seats in the car had been removed, and two people were lying on the floor, both of whom were Chun Tao and Li Mengjie, kidnapped and brought here.

Both of them were unconscious at the moment. The three men sitting in the front, evidently confident in their knockout spray, had neither bound them nor used any measures such as blindfolds or gags.

If one could see with the naked eye.

The bracelets on their wrists were emitting a faint glow.

Amidst the bumps on the mountain road, Chun Tao's consciousness was first awakened by a cool sensation transmitted from her bracelet. As she came to, she immediately realized she was lying in a car and became aware that she had been kidnapped.

She heard the kidnappers' voices from the front, quickly closed her eyes to continue feigning unconsciousness, and left a slit open to see through.

Because hers and Li Mengjie's heads were leaning against each other.

Soon she noticed Li Mengjie's eyelashes trembling too.

It seemed that Li Mengjie was also waking up. Chun Tao immediately whispered in her ear with an extremely low voice, "Mengjie, don't open your eyes, don't speak."

Upon hearing Chun Tao's faint voice, Li Mengjie became even more alert. She squinted her eyes slightly, saw Chun Tao, and also realized she had been kidnapped.

The two gently placed their hands together, and started to communicate by writing on each other's palms.

At that moment, one of the men sitting in the back row suddenly spoke, "These two chicks are really pretty, and they have nice figures too. Boss, why don't we have a little fun first?"
