Chapter 156: Winds Rising in Cloud City

Chu Fei paid no mind to Hou Jian, who was kneeling on the floor.

Had it not been for the sake of not startling Jiang Guoxing and Dai Qin, he would have long since sent this scum straight to the netherworld.

However, since President Pang was now willing to handle Hou Jian for him, Chu Fei was content to let him take care of it, sparing himself the trouble of getting his hands dirty.

Besides, dying just like that would be far too boring. It would be much more entertaining to watch him spend the rest of his life in prison, utterly disgraced and wishing he were dead!

President Pang was a shrewd man who knew how to read the room.

Seeing the look on Chu Fei's face, he immediately ordered his men to drag Hou Jian out.

He even planned to call the police and subsequently prosecute him for attempted murder!

As for the unconscious Tang Feiyu, while Chu Fei was fully focused on treating Jiang Guoxing, the young scoundrel had already been hauled away by his subordinates.

Chu Fei cared little about this. The fellows from the Tang family might escape today, but they wouldn't escape forever.

Furthermore, this was his first time meeting his nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law; he could hardly start killing people right in front of them.

He was a law-abiding citizen, after all, and he never did anything illegal!

If the members of the Ouyang family—who had previously been completely wiped out by him—were to hear this, they would probably be so infuriated that they would jump out of their coffins and scream:

—"You're so righteous, so noble! We're already over a hundred chapters in, and you're still using us to set your moral standards, aren't you!"

With President Pang away dealing with Hou Jian, only the few of them remained in the hospital room.

Jiang Guoxing had virtually fully recovered and was now extremely curious about Chu Fei.

"Qiqi, you haven't introduced this young man to me yet. What is his name?"

Jiang Yun琪 tried to step closer to introduce Chu Fei, but Jiang Guoxing hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Y-you just stay right there! I'm already traumatized!"

Because someone had been causing a ruckus ever since they arrived, neither Jiang Guoxing nor Dai Qin had learned Chu Fei's name until now.

Jiang Yun琪 pointed at Chu Fei and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "This is Chu Fei. I'm his boyfriend."

"???" Chu Fei wore a face full of question marks.

Jiang Yun琪 immediately corrected herself: "Wrong, wrong! He's my girlfriend, that's it!"

"Do you even hear yourself?"

Chu Fei let out a helpless, bitter laugh, then stepped forward and said generously, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I am Chu Fei. You should actually know about me—my master, Nangong Li, once arranged an engagement with Qiqi's grandfather."

Hearing this, the couple finally recalled that such a matter indeed existed.

Before the old master passed away a few years ago, he had handed this engagement letter to them, strictly instructing them to keep their promise!

"So it's you!" Jiang Guoxing said happily. "Then you and Qiqi are a couple now, right?"

Since the young man had saved his life, Jiang Guoxing held a very favorable impression of Chu Fei.

He had initially worried that his daughter might dislike an arranged marriage, so if they were truly in love with each other, it couldn't be better!

Holding Jiang Yun琪's hand, Chu Fei said cheerfully, "Yes, Dad, we're already together!"

"What nonsense are you shouting? Who's your dad?" Jiang Yun琪 felt rather embarrassed.

With a completely straight face, Chu Fei replied, "We're going to get married sooner or later. Her dad is my dad, isn't he? Is there any problem with me calling you Dad? Right, Dad?"

Jiang Guoxing smiled and nodded. That logic was flawless.

Dai Qin, standing off to the side, asked, "Little Chu, how did you and Qiqi meet?"

"I took the engagement letter to find her, and then she fell in love with me at first sight. She pestered me every single day, and I got so annoyed that I finally had no choice but to reluctantly agree."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun琪 protested in discontent: "No way, how can you flip the narrative like that? It was clearly you who pursued me!"

"Fine, whatever you say goes."

"You were the one who pursued me! You were the one who pursued me! Even if the Jade Emperor himself descended from the heavens today, it was still you who pursued me!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing the two of them bickering so joyfully, they must have deep feelings for one another. Dai Qin felt somewhat reassured by this.

Still, unable to resist, she asked one more question: "So, Little Chu, what kind of work do you do now?"

"I suppose you could call it starting my own business. I have my own company."

Chu Fei spoke the truth. Although he was a hands-off boss, he was a boss nonetheless.

Dai Qin nodded in satisfaction. "It's wonderful for a young man to have his own career."

The only reason she asked was to understand Chu Fei a little better.

As far as their family was concerned, as long as their daughter liked him and he had a good character, that was enough. Wealth was secondary.

Unlike the demonized mothers-in-law found in certain Dragon King son-in-law novels, who had words like "trash" and "good-for-nothing" constantly spilling from their mouths at every turn!

Jiang Guoxing chimed in, "Little Chu, I feel completely fine now. Can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Having recently suffered a business failure, the family was low on funds, and he really didn't want to continue wasting money at the hospital.

Actually, the injury on Jiang Guoxing's head was a minor issue. The truly troublesome part lay elsewhere.

However, ordinary hospitals were completely incapable of treating that kind of damage, so there was naturally no point in staying here.

"Dad, if you want to be discharged, you can leave today," Chu Fei replied. "I'm a doctor; I can help you recuperate at home just as well."

Cooperating fully, Jiang Guoxing said, "Then let's get discharged! I'll have your mother go home and cook something delicious, and the two of us will share a drink tonight. How does that sound?"

Chu Fei answered that it sounded fine.

He intended to use the drinking session to ask Jiang Guoxing about a few things.

Based on Jiang Guoxing's chronic ailments, Chu Fei could deduce that his future father-in-law's past was likely far from simple!

"Can he really be discharged?" Dai Qin asked, still feeling rather uneasy.

Jiang Yun琪 chimed in, "Mom, you saw it for yourself just now. Since Chu Fei was able to cure Dad, if he says we can check out, then we definitely can!"

With things having reached this point, coupled with her old man's pleading expression, Dai Qin finally agreed.

Just as the group was about to head downstairs to handle the discharge procedures, President Pang returned.

He smiled at Chu Fei and said, "Little brother, the medical fees you paid will be refunded in full to your bank card today. Also, could I have a moment of your time for a private word?"

Chu Fei knew that this adhesive plaster of a man wouldn't be shaken off so easily.

Moreover, since courtesy dictates not hitting someone with a smiling face, he instructed Jiang Yun琪 and the others to go ahead and handle the paperwork.

He himself stayed behind to see what kind of scheme President Pang was cooking up.

"Little brother, have you considered what I talked to you about earlier?"

President Pang put on a flattering smile and said, "My name is Pang Li, and I keep my word. As long as you're willing to come to our hospital, you can name any condition you like!"

Chu Fei shook his head, indicating he had no interest.

Though somewhat disappointed, President Pang understood. How could someone with such formidable skills lower themselves to visit a small temple like theirs?

"Then how about this, little brother?"

President Pang pleaded, "I have a friend who has contracted a strange illness that even I am completely helpless against. But if it's you, you should be able to find a way."

"Look, you offended the Tang family today, and they certainly won't let you off. The more friends you have, the wider your path, wouldn't you agree?"

The Tang family was slated to be wiped out by tonight at the earliest. Chu Fei truly didn't care about their retaliation.

However, thinking of Jiang Guoxing and Dai Qin remaining in Yun City, having someone keep watch over them was ultimately a good thing.

"Is this friend of yours really that impressive?"

Seeing that Chu Fei had taken an interest, President Pang immediately seized the opportunity: "Of course. Old Master Sun of Yun City—to put it mildly, while he's a towering figure, the Tang family is nothing more than a fart compared to him. If you can cure Old Master Sun's illness, he will be able to help you resolve your issues with the Tang family!"

Hearing this, Chu Fei nodded. "Then tell him to come and find me. My address should be in Uncle Jiang's records."

Wiping out the Tang family required someone to clean up the aftermath.

Chu Fei could certainly do it himself, but he was lazy; if someone else was willing to do the dirty work for him, he was more than happy to oblige.

"Have Old Master Sun come to find you? This..."

President Pang looked troubled.

Old Master Sun was a renowned and formidable overlord figure in Yun City.

A man of such status inevitably possessed immense pride. Would he really be willing to proactively pay a visit to a young junior from out of town?

"Is pride more important, or is life more important?"

Chu Fei said indifferently, "It all depends on how he chooses."

A doctor does not chase after patients. Since he was the one saving lives, did he also have to go knocking on doors and catering to the man's mood?

That was not something Chu Fei would ever do. Unless the man possessed medicinal ingredients for pills as precious as the Blood-Washing Pill—just like the ruined Du family—the discussion was over!

Having dropped these words, Chu Fei turned and walked away.

After hesitating for a moment, President Pang still pulled out his phone and proactively dialed Old Master Sun to explain the situation...

"..."

Meanwhile, back on the other side, Tang Feiyu had been carried back to the Tang estate.

Upon seeing his most beloved youngest son beaten into such a miserable state, the head of the Tang family flew into a towering rage.

"Who the hell beat my son like this? Do they have no regard for me, Tang Tianhua, whatsoever?!"

His subordinates quickly recounted the events that had taken place at the hospital.

Hearing this, Tang Tianhua's face darkened menacingly as he shouted to a young man standing behind him.

"Wenxuan, take a few men and go avenge your younger brother. I want those nobodies to die without a burial site!"
