Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Oh? Xia Liu, who did you come for?" Huang Zhongcai became interested, perhaps as his daughter-in-law had said.

"I came for Xue'er. I had failed her before, misunderstood her. I hope Old Master Huang and Family Head Huang will give me a chance."

Xia Liu's face was bitter.

Indeed, he had misunderstood her and, on the night of her return, he had severely criticized her.

At that moment, Huang Xue, who was just about to step into the hall, heard Xia Liu's dialogue.

Her eyes instantly moistened.

He had refused five billion just for her!

She stood at the doorway, yet her steps were unable to move an inch,, excited, surprised, and shy.

"No way! I disagree! Xue'er already has someone she's set to marry." In this matter, Huang Shijie was very certain.

He would rather give Xia Liu five billion than let his daughter go with him.

Huang Xue was the beauty of Yuanguang City, many wealthy heirs wanted to marry her.

Huang Shijie's ideal son-in-law was Pan Long.

The Pan Family primarily operates in real estate, but they are involved in various other industries as well. Additionally, the Pan Family's connections are quite formidable.

If they could collaborate with the Pan Family, the Huang Family would definitely reach a peak status within a few years.

"What did you say! Xue'er can follow whomever she wants, it's none of your business!" Huang Zhongcai was furious, it had been a long time since he had to reprimand this son,, he couldn't believe he would say such a thing.

"Father, you should consider the whole Huang Family. Xia Liu is just a rural doctor. Apart from breaking your Poison Art, what else can he do?"

Huang Shijie mercilessly criticized Xia Liu.

"Shut up!"

"Old Master Xia, don't get angry, your illness has just recovered, I will handle it", Xia Liu, not wanting to treat Huang Zhongcai there, stood up.

"Family Head Huang, it's true I am a rural doctor, but I have dreams and I am working towards them. Tell me, who is more suitable for Xue'er than I am?"

"Hmph! Just a village bumpkin. Yuanguang City isn't lacking in your kind of laborer. My daughter must marry someone of prominent background, and I think Pan Long is quite suitable."

Huang Shijie spoke plainly.

He had decided to sever ties if necessary, all for the family.

If his daughter must hate someone, let it be himself.

"I won't! Apart from Xia Liu, I won't marry anyone else in this lifetime!" Huang Xue could no longer contain herself.

She was unclear about what kind of person Pan Long was, but she knew Xia Liu very well.

Ever since he treated her, she was bound to him for life.

"Xue'er, you're just in time. I don't care what happened, from now on it must end!"

"Huang Shijie! What right do you have to command Xue'er, she's my granddaughter. You constantly speak of the family, do you only know such means, relying on selling your daughter? If that's the case, I think this family needs a new leader."

"Grandfather!" Seeing her grandfather stand up for her, Huang Xue ran sorrowfully behind him seeking protection.

"Father!"

"My dear brother, you've gone too far, treating Xue'er like a bargaining chip. She's an adult, she has her own way of choosing!" Huang Shitao seized the opportunity to provoke Huang Shijie alongside Huang Zhongcai.

"Shitao, even you?"

"Me? You use Xue'er as a bargaining chip for the family. What are you thinking, is Xue'er even your daughter?" Huang Shitao rebuked righteously.

"Huang Shijie, I've tolerated you for a long time! Look at your conscience, have you taken care of your daughter since she was young? She finally likes someone, how are you any different from a beast in your actions!"

Yang Yuehua couldn't listen anymore. Her son and daughter were the most important treasures of her life.

Her son was dragged into the military by her husband's brothers and she only saw him once every three years; not to mention that.

Now her husband even wants to use their daughter as a chip for gains, this she could not endure!

Huang Shijie was somewhat shocked, he had not expected his actions to be treated this way.

"Why does he say and do these things, if not for the family?"

"Now that he is the target of thousands of accusations, does it mean anything?"

He stopped speaking and bore all the affairs of the Huang Family.

He was tired too, so since his father had said there needed to be a change in leadership, he had nothing to say.

"Shitao! From now on, you will take over Shijie's position. The family consists of all the family members; and the development of our enterprise must be grounded!"

"Yes, Father! Shitao will surely heed your teachings and lead the family to the highest point! And bring all family members together!" Huang Shitao repressed the strong excitement in his heart.

He had waited so many years for this day!

What sacrifices had he not made for this position?

In the end, due to a minor incident, the position he had dreamt of was easily within his grasp.

"Hoo hoo! Congratulations, Uncle Shitao, on becoming the Family Head!"

"Congratulations, Shitao!"

...

Those from the Huang Family who were close to Huang Shitao began clapping their hands, their joy unmistakably released.

"Something terrible has happened, Family Head!" Just as everyone was cheering, a security officer rushed in.

The security officer's face looked awful, slightly pale, as if he had discovered something shocking.

"Just say what's happened," Huang Shijie snapped irritably.

All the others were also drawn to the tension of the security officer.

"I was patrolling the forest with a few colleagues, and we saw several bodies! They are the colleagues who went missing yesterday!"

"What!!!"

The news shocked everyone.

There were bodies in the forest!

"How did they die? Were they poisoned?" Huang Zhongcai furrowed his brows tightly.

He had woken up the day before and heard others say that the person responsible for the poisonings was present at the scene and had escaped after being discovered by Xia Liu.

Perhaps those security guards were killed by the fleeing You Zifeng.

"I didn't pay much attention to that..." The security officer did not know how to answer, as he had hurried here immediately after seeing the bodies.

"How do you do your job? Go back and check right now!" Before Huang Shijie could speak, Huang Shitao quickly ordered.

After speaking, he gave Huang Shijie a smug look, his eyes seemingly saying, "I'm in charge of the Huang Family now!"

Huang Shijie did not respond and sighed, sitting down and blocking out the rest.

"No need to go to such lengths; I killed those people." Just as the security officer was preparing to run out, Xia Liu suddenly spoke up.

"What, what, what!!!"

This time, the entire room was in an uproar.

Xia Liu had actually claimed it was he who killed the people!

This was incredibly awkward!

Just the day before, they all knew that Xia Liu had been taken away by those security guards.

Had he killed them to cover his tracks after escaping?

A chill rose up behind everyone's backs. If that was the case, Xia Liu was undeniably a psychopath and a mad killer!

Huang Xue dazedly looked at Xia Liu, suddenly realizing that she might not know him at all.

She had been moved by him just a moment ago, and the next second, he turned out to be a murderous criminal...
