Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Seven Hundred Forty-Nine

"Shangguan Baihe, you've become more and more presumptuous!"

Situ Jin pounced onto the bed, pinned Shangguan Baihe down, and choked her throat with one hand, snarling, "Dare to talk to me like that!"

Shangguan Baihe's throat was clasped, her face turning red, her breathing somewhat difficult, but her eyes were filled with scorn, and she loudly mocked, "Situ Jin, if you have the guts, choke me to death. Trash is trash; even if I let you, could you even manage it? You impotent eunuch."

"You're asking for death!"

Situ Jin bellowed.

With both hands, he clenched Shangguan Baihe's throat fiercely.

Shangguan Baihe couldn't breathe, her eyes bulging, mouth wide open, desperately struggling.

Venom spewed from Situ Jin's eyes as he choked Shangguan Baihe's throat mercilessly. After all, Shangguan Baihe was a woman and couldn't break free from Situ Jin, her limbs gradually weakening.

Long Xiaoshan's eyes flashed with a golden light.

From the conversation between Shangguan Baihe and Situ Jin just now, it was clear that Shangguan Baihe's hotel had been forcefully taken by the Situ family and she likely wasn't involved in the conspiracy against Longyang Group.

Given that, he naturally couldn't just watch Shangguan Baihe being choked to death.

With a flap of his wings, he was about to fly out and save Shangguan Baihe.

However, at this moment, the woman underneath the bed crawled out. She saw the scene on the bed, her expression shocked, and she rushed forward to forcefully shove Situ Jin, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Startled by the woman's strike, Situ Jin's gaze sobered a bit, and he turned to her stunned, "Sister."

The woman forcefully pushed Situ Jin away.

After Shangguan Baihe's throat was released, she rolled over and began coughing violently.

The woman hurriedly helped Shangguan Baihe up, incessantly patting her back, asking, "Sister-in-law, are you all right?"

Shangguan Baihe's complexion was still somewhat purplish, she shook her head and from her throat came a muffled couple of words, "I'm... fine."

The woman looked up, glaring at Situ Jin, "Big brother, what's gotten into you? You almost killed her!"

Situ Jin's face flashed with a hint of gloom as he coldly said, "I want to ask you, sister, what are you doing here?"

Situ Qian's face flickered with discomfort, quickly masked, "What could I be doing? I just came to have a chat with my sister-in-law."

Situ Jin let out a cold laugh, suddenly walked over to the bed, lifted the pillow, and grabbing a black instrument from beneath it, he threw it, "Just here chatting with your sister-in-law? Don't think I don't know about your sordid affair, Situ Qian. You're about to disgrace our whole family."

Seeing Situ Jin so unreserved, Situ Qian's face also showed a flash of resentment as she yelled, "Disgrace? Situ Jin, you can't blame us for your own incompetence. What's wrong with my sister-in-law and me having a bit of joy? Not stealing another for you is already considerate enough."

"You, you're asking for death!"

Furious, Situ Jin grabbed a vase from the table.

Situ Qian quickly rushed in front of Situ Jin, her voice hoarse and forceful, "Go on, smash it! If you dare, kill both of us. You men of the Situ family only know how to throw your weight around indoors. When I was just eighteen, to curry favor with the Cao family, you broke up my relationship with Central Jin and married me to that old man from the Cao family. The kind of life I've lived these years, you know? Now that the Cao family has declined, you summon me back. I know what you're up to; you just want to clean me up and sell me off at a better price, don't you? And my sister-in-law, marrying you, a congenital eunuch, is pitiful enough. After maintaining her widowhood for all these years and finally managing a hotel with her own dowry, you see the profit and take over just like that. There's nothing more shameless than you people!"

Situ Jin's complexion turned from green to white, enduring a barrage of accusations from Situ Qian, his face couldn't have been uglier, stormy and about to drip with gloom.

But the vase after all did not come crashing down.

Situ Qian was, after all, his sister.

Killing Shangguan Baihe could still be covered up.

But Situ Qian's case would absolutely be beyond concealment.

Besides, the Cao Family, even though in decline, had not yet reached the point of complete collapse.

Situ Qian was, after all, the widow of the Cao Family.

Situ Jin slammed the vase violently to the ground and strode out quickly.

Seeing Situ Jin storming out,

Situ Qian's strength seemed to be drained from her, not as fierce as just before, she plopped down on the ground, covered her face and began to sob.

At this time, Shangguan Baihe's complexion had also returned to a more normal state, though still somewhat pale, and there was a red mark encircling her neck, she walked over, squatted down, and put her arm around Situ Qian's shoulders, saying, "Qian Qian, stop crying."

Situ Qian threw herself into her arms, crying even harder.

Shangguan Baihe patted Situ Qian's shoulder, her expression much calmer than Situ Qian's, and even though she had nearly been strangled to death by Situ Jin moments ago, her gaze became increasingly indifferent. She spoke in a deep voice, "Qian Qian, stop crying, what's the use of crying? We can't keep enduring this any longer, we must resist!"

Situ Qian lifted her head, her eyes blurry with tears. Her ferocity in front of Situ Jin had been a pretense, Situ Qian's personality was much softer compared to Shangguan Baihe, otherwise, she wouldn't have been dominated by the family for so many years.

Her voice trembling, she said, "Resist what?"

"Of course, we must find a way to escape the Situ Family!" declared Shangguan Baihe with a resolute look in her eyes.

"Escape, how can we escape," Situ Qian said, "the family's guards are strict, we're just two women, how can we possibly escape? And, and... even if we do escape, how will we live? We will be caught sooner or later."

Shangguan Baihe's eyes flashed with a cold light, "How will we know if we don't try? As long as we escape, over the years, I have managed to build some connections outside, and I also have some money stored in a Swiss Bank which the Situ Family doesn't know about, it's enough for us to live on. At worst, we'll flee the country illegally. Qian Qian, do you really want to continue living in this environment, being treated like goods to be bargained and sold to some major family as men's playthings?"

Struggle surfaced in Situ Qian's eyes.

"Of course I don't want to, but, we can't get out."

"I have a way," Shangguan Baihe whispered a few words into Situ Qian's ear.

Situ Qian's eyes widened in shock, she cried out, "You want to set a fire... this, this is not possible."

Shangguan Baihe quickly covered her mouth, glaring at her, "What are you shouting about?"

Perched at the window, Long Xiaoshan clicked his tongue in amazement, unable to deny that Shangguan Baihe was ruthless and decisive, having come up with such a scheme, intending to set the Situ Family ablaze and escape amidst the chaos.

Looking at her, it seemed she had not thought of this on a whim but had been planning it for a while.

However, Shangguan Baihe had still underestimated the situation.

The Situ Family, a top clan in Xichuan Province, was not so easily set on fire. Long Xiaoshan had already discovered the masters hidden in the darkness; like the Ye Family, the Situ Family kept Worship Masters.

There were a few of Huang Level, and even one of Profound Level.

With such high-level masters around, Shangguan Baihe definitely could not escape.
