Chapter 157: Chapter 156, It’s Actually Her "Doctor Xu, we meet again!" Yan Liuli forced a smile. "I apologize for not disciplining my daughter well, leading to her major mistake, which forced you into the martial world!" "This time our Shengpeng Group concedes willingly and is ready to hand over the South City redevelopment project to you." Xu Wendong was truly surprised; he never expected that his first patient would be Yan Shuangshuang’s mother. Immediately he also understood why Yan Liuli seemed somewhat familiar; the mother and daughter really had a striking resemblance between their brows. Coming back to his senses, Xu Wendong said, "So, you sought me for treatment not actually to seek treatment!" Yan Liuli confessed, "Yes, initially I just wanted to see who had caused my daughter such a significant setback. Though my daughter has a temper, she is far more intelligent than ordinary people." At this, she bowed, "I sincerely apologize for the previous incident." "That apology should go to Zhao Sihai," Xu Wendong huffed unpleasantly, unable to easily forget the past incident, even if the other party admitted her mistake. But Yan Liuli said, "Why should we apologize to Zhao Sihai? In the martial world, one’s actions are beyond their control; it’s filled with much deceit and trickery, a struggle of life and death, which is something everyone involved in it acknowledges." "Moreover, Zhao Sihai’s tragic death wasn’t caused by either you or me." "He met his end by his own hand. If he hadn’t broken the rules, would he have ended up like that?" Zhao Dalong said solemnly, "Mister Xu, he’s right. My brother didn’t die at your hands, nor at the hands of Shengpeng Group; he died by his own hands." "When someone dies, the light is extinguished, and past events become smoke and vanish." "As long as we occasionally think of him, he remains with us." Seeing Xu Wendong’s somber face, Yan Liuli beamed with a smile, "I know you don’t like me, but even if you knew who I was before, you wouldn’t stand by and let me die. After all, people like you are very noble, concerned only with the life and death of all under heaven, placing personal grudges as secondary." Xu Wendong took a deep breath, working hard to calm his emotions. "You still haven’t dispelled that dream?" Yan Liuli shook her head, "Your talisman is impressive, but it couldn’t vanquish that monk." "In that case, have someone prepare a piece of Millennium Agarwood. I’ll personally help you dispel that dream!" Xu Wendong indeed didn’t like Yan Liuli, but as she mentioned before, in his eyes, personal grudges were trivial, far less significant than the life and death of all under heaven. Not to mention, Yan Liuli was also the first patient after his clinic’s opening. Thinking of this, Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a somewhat bitter smile. Could this be what they call karma? Just then, a reporter from Qingyuan Television Station arrived, no stranger but an old acquaintance, Xu Fan. Xu Wendong directly approached and greeted her, "My Sister Fan is truly the pillar of Qingyuan Television Station; wherever you appear, there must be big news happening." Xu Fan pulled Xu Wendong aside and whispered, "What are you doing here? Are you with these people? Xu Wendong, I tell you with all responsibility, these people are not good. Don’t be fooled by their glamorous appearances; they commit all sorts of evil. You’d better stay away from them!" Xu Wendong was full of awkwardness. How to reply? How could he respond? He couldn’t possibly say he was their leader, could he? He gave an awkward smile and said, "I was just passing by and learned there was a news interview here, so I came in specially to wait for the great beauty, Sister Fan, and catch a glimpse of your radiance." No one can resist hearing compliments, especially when Xu Wendong’s flattery was so natural, making Xu Fan brim with happiness. She chuckled, "What’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to court your elder sister?" Xu Wendong replied with a cheeky grin, "Would you mind if we had a sibling-like romance?" Xu Fan’s face turned red, and she bashfully said, "Go, go, I’m busy and don’t have time to banter with you." With that, she took the microphone and followed the camera, Xu Wendong’s words having rendered her defenseless. For many women, they long for a passionate romantic relationship; she was no exception. Moreover, Xu Wendong was so handsome and excellent. The press conference was brief. Yan Liuli and Wu Mei took the stage, handing over the contract for the South City redevelopment project, along with the strategic plan to the other party. This marked Shengpeng Group’s complete farewell to the South City redevelopment project. Seeing the contract in hand, cheers erupted like thunder from the crowd below, whereas the Shengpeng Group’s people looked spiritless, with expressions of complete disillusionment. After the press conference, Xu Fan left with the camera crew and others. Just as Yan Liuli, Yan Shuangshuang, and Uncle Fu were about to leave by car, Xu Wendong’s voice called out, "Ms. Yan, please wait!" "Mister Xu, do you have any other instructions?" Yan Liuli thought Xu Wendong might mention something about her dream. Xu Wendong, however, said with a cheerful smile, "Please take out the ten-billion check!" Yan Liuli frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean?" Wu Mei remained silent, smiling. Chen Ping’an also smiled silently. Liu Mang smiled silently as well. Yan Shuangshuang fumed, "You don’t intend to seize it by force, do you?" "We are good citizens who abide by the law. How could we even dream of doing something like forcibly taking something?" Xu Wendong laughed as he accepted the document bag Wu Mei handed over, then passed it to Yan Liuli. Curiously, Yan Liuli opened it and, seeing Shengpeng Group’s land deeds inside, couldn’t help but shiver, then a faint bitter smile appeared on her face. "Brilliant!" "Truly brilliant!" "Your move is exceptionally clever!" "Mom, what are you talking about?" Yan Shuangshuang looked confused, but when she saw the Shengpeng Group’s land deeds in her mother’s hands, her pupils quivered, and she exclaimed in surprise, "No way... How did our Shengpeng Group’s land deeds end up in your hands? Could it be you lent us that ten billion?" With that, her eyes filled with anger, "Xu Wendong, you’re too underhanded. You lent us money to help you resolve the demolition issue, and now you’re using that money to take over the South City redevelopment project. This means you got the project without spending a dime." "And we invested over thirty billion in total, all just to make wedding clothes for you!" Upon hearing this, everyone behind Xu Wendong burst into laughter. They had never felt as proud as they did today; the feeling was truly exhilarating! "Talents come forth in every age, and today Doctor Xu really taught me a lesson. Losing to you, I am completely convinced!" Yan Liuli said, full of conviction. It’s not just her daughter who failed in their confrontation with Xu Wendong; even she, if put in the same situation, would have faced a massive failure in front of Xu Wendong. Thinking of this, she revealed a charming smile, "Doctor Xu, your abilities are extraordinary, almost monster-like in shrewdness, and now I’m even more certain you can cure my illness." "I’ve arranged for the Millennium Agarwood; it’ll arrive in Qingyuan by this afternoon." Xu Wendong replied, "Give me your address; I’ll visit you tonight for treatment." "We live in the same community." Yan Liuli smiled, gave her exact address to Xu Wendong, and then left by car. After they departed, people proposed to hold a celebration party since they had achieved a great victory, but Xu Wendong sighed, "Not being able to kill Yan Shuangshuang and let her pay for Zhao Sihai’s life, how could this be considered a great victory?" Zhao Dalong said, "Mister Xu, you don’t have to be fixated on killing Yan Shuangshuang for the boss’s revenge. The martial world is not just about killings, but also human relationships and exchanges of interests!" "If you truly want Yan Shuangshuang to pay some price, I have a plan that will ensure the boss smiles in the afterlife and satisfies the brothers!" Xu Wendong was filled with curiosity, "Is there really such a win-win solution? Quick, quick, tell me."
