Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

At the banquet last night, Xia Liu remained sober from beginning to end. That amount of alcohol wasn't even enough to wet his throat. After truthfully recounting the situation to Li Zhong, Xia Liu got up to wash up. Seizing the opportunity while the girls hadn't yet returned, he was determined to get the business street project underway. Today, Gu Yi was waiting at the entrance of Osmanthus Village early on. Xia Liu had spoken to him about the business street project yesterday, so he definitely couldn't take it lightly. The industrial zone had also been instructed that no matter when the project was completed, everything would follow Xia Liu's arrangements. For a son-in-law with such a profound background and terrifying connections, Gu Yi truly felt inferior. "Uncle Gu!" As soon as Xia Liu saw Gu Yi from afar, he waved and greeted him. This was his father-in-law, so he definitely couldn't afford to be arrogant. "Xia Liu, it's been such a long time since I've seen you. Fangxia was so anxious when she called me a few days ago, saying she went abroad for a trip, that girl really left you here," Gu Yi said. "Yes, Uncle Gu, Sister Gu should be back soon. It's hard on you, managing the construction crew alone," Xia Liu replied. "Hard on me? All I do is order meals and keep watch. So, where do you need us to start the renovation?" Gu Yi cut to the chase without dallying. "Well, you must have heard about the recent redevelopment of the county town, so my current plan is…" Xia Liu started to generously explain his plan. After all, the plans had to be known to the head of the construction crew. If Gu Fangxia were here, it would be easier, as she would follow up on everything. "Haha! As long as there are detailed design plans, I guarantee that in no more than ten days, the brothers will definitely be able to finish the business street renovation," Gu Yi promised the moment he heard the plan. "We should have them, let's head over to Longyun first, there are a few executives there," suggested Xia Liu. "Great! Let's go now," Gu Yi said, climbing into his newly bought Mercedes-Benz SUV. Gu Yi had only recently started to look lively, and all this was brought about by Xia Liu. He admired his son-in-law even more now. "Is he Sister Gu's father?" Rose asked in a low voice in the car. "Yes," Xia Liu answered. "It seems like he saw me in the car. Won't that cause any misunderstandings?" Rose wondered. Xia Liu paused, then chuckled and said, "Hehe, don't worry, everyone in the county knows about me and the girls." "I see…" Rose's bright eyes twinkled, wondering about something else. After arriving at Longyun Hotel, Sun Tao and several other executives had already finished their breakfast. Xia Liu immediately introduced Gu Yi to them. When they learned that Gu Yi was the head of the construction crew and also Xia Liu's father-in-law, All the managers were exceedingly respectful. Recently, a legend had been circulating in Liuhai City. It was said that a young man from the county had gone to Yanjing and displayed his powerful skills, severely embarrassing some ancient families. As news of this spread, those with the means quickly discovered that the young man was none other than Xia Liu. The ancient families were those with powerful martial artists! As for the embarrassing defeat, it was clear that Xia Liu had killed the most formidable member of the opposition's family. And he had killed more than one. With that battle, one martial artist clan had completely collapsed and become a vassal to another family. Upon learning this news, Sun Tao and the others nearly pissed themselves. Reflecting carefully, they felt that they hadn't been respectful enough towards Xia Liu. So, when they met him today, Xia Liu was nearly scared by their enthusiasm. After chatting idly for a good while, he then hurried off to the company. Watching Xia Liu's hasty departure, Sun Tao and his companions could do nothing but sigh. Living in their circle, they saw far more than ordinary people. They knew of martial artists, aware that such a group of people existed in the world. Now, they very much wanted to curry favor with Xia Liu, after all, he was a high-level expert who could easily crush two martial artists' families. After arriving at the company, Xia Liu saw that Rose was already back to work. Through the desk, he could see her black silk-covered feet, shoes off, crossed over one another. Having not seen the girls for quite some time, Xia Liu's mouth immediately felt dry. Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he went out to give Glasses a call and asked him to summon Tie Shan and Mark to the conference room. In less than half an hour, Tie Shan, Mark, and Glasses had all arrived at the conference room. After examining them for a moment, Xia Liu's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you weren't injured? What's going on here?" Though Tie Shan looked fine on the surface, Xia Liu could see that there was a Qi Force within him, and the internal injury seemed quite serious. Mark and Glasses were the same—the Exotic Force inside their bodies was fluctuating wildly, clearly indicating they were injured. "Hehe, we didn't want to bother Master with this, these little injuries are something we can deal with ourselves," Mark said with a laugh, looking at Xia Liu's scrupulous face. "Using Exotic Force to resist Inner Qi, if the hidden dangers aren't cleared in a short time, you won't even find a place to cry in the future," Xia Liu said, giving Mark a disdainful glance. "Ah! It's that serious, Master, save me!" Hearing Xia Liu's serious words, Mark got so scared he ran to Xia Liu, hugging his feet. "Don't worry, how could I let you guys suffer from lingering ailments," Xia Liu shook his head, then inquired about Glasses and Tie Shan's conditions. Their injuries had been incurred in the fierce battle when the martial artists from the stern Qiu families came. At that time, Lin Xiaotian had commanded them to leave first. Mark and the others definitely didn't want to, but they all succumbed under Lin Xiaotian's coercion. In the end, a few martial artists pursued them, and the three fought back valiantly, fortunately receiving only minor injuries, with no other losses. Tie Shan had the most serious injury among them; the Qi Force in his body couldn't be refined due to prolonged neglect and had become somewhat entrenched. For this, Xia Liu could only use needles to draw out the Energy. As for Mark and Glasses, Xia Liu transmitted a stream of Spiritual Energy into their bodies, which directly scattered the Qi Force. "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!" After feeling relaxed, Mark immediately clenched his fists to express thanks. "Alright! You and Tie Shan go back to heal, Glasses, you stay," Xia Liu said. Although unsure why Glasses was asked to stay, neither Tie Shan nor Mark questioned it. Xia Liu had his reasons for arranging it this way. "Glasses, how's the matter I had you handle last time?" Once they were alone, Xia Liu asked. "I'm quite ashamed to say, I don't know what's going on, but I couldn't find any information at all," Glasses said gloomily. "Oh? Even you couldn't find that information," Xia Liu was slightly startled. If even Glasses couldn't investigate it, then the matter was going to be difficult. "Boss, just give me a bit more time, I'm sure I can find out!" After a moment of silence, Glasses solemnly promised. "How much time do you think you'll need?"
