The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter 157 will definitely give you an explanation.

"Dr. Zhu, haha, I never expected this, I really never expected this!" Qi Hanshan laughed angrily, "Has our Qi family been keeping a low profile for too long? A mere doctor from a clinic actually dares to provoke us!"

The butler stood silently to the side, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a single word.

But his silence didn't mean Qi Hanshan would let him off the hook. Sure enough, the next moment, Qi Hanshan's gaze was fixed on him: "Tell me, what exactly happened? Even Doctor Bai himself realized that Doctor Zhu wanted to kill him, and asked you to arrange for people to investigate thoroughly, but you're telling me you haven't found a single clue?"

"Sir, please calm down!" The butler's face immediately turned pale. He was the one entrusted with the task, and things had gone wrong everywhere. He naturally felt responsible and quickly said, "Sir, our people have indeed been keeping an eye on Doctor Zhu and are investigating his movements before and after treating you, but we haven't found a single trace of him contacting anyone privately. What happened today was too sudden. Yesterday afternoon, after Doctor Zhu returned home, he had contact with Doctor Bai. When Doctor Bai left, he didn't notice anything unusual about him. Doctor Zhu stayed in the clinic all night, and this morning the Long Knife Society contacted him again because of what happened last night. Logically, whether it's the Long Knife Society or Doctor Zhu, their biggest concern right now should be finding a way to resolve what happened last night. But this time, they suddenly attacked Doctor Bai... It's really illogical!"

"Illogical?" Qi Hanshan sneered. "I think it makes perfect sense. Doctor Zhu and the Long Knife Society got into trouble, and they were in a bad mood, so they just wanted to kill someone or two to vent their anger. They just happened to pick Doctor Bai. First, Doctor Zhu tried to poison him secretly, but he failed. The Long Knife Society thought, 'Doctor Zhu, you're sneaking around, that won't work. Watch this!' So the Long Knife Society sent six skilled men to openly prepare to chop Doctor Bai up... See? Isn't that reasonable? They suddenly decided to do this on a whim. The people you sent aren't gods, how could they possibly notice? You can't blame yourselves for being useless. I should even praise you for being so dedicated. If it weren't for you, those six skilled men from the Long Knife Society would have chopped Doctor Bai up so badly that not even a single hair could be found!"

The butler stood before him, his mouth full of bitterness, but he dared not refute, and could only lower his head and let the master mock him. In fact, he knew that the master was not simply venting his anger on him, but was implying something.

It was obvious that he was referring to the people of the Youth Society, and that they didn't take his words seriously or take his instructions to heart.

That's why he was so furious.

After all, this incident completely crossed the old man's bottom line. The use of poison could be interpreted as the other party not daring to make a move openly, indicating that they still knew the power of the Qi family and were still wary of them.

But now, they've sent people to kill the doctor who was on his way to treat the old man at his residence. What does that mean?

It means that the Qi family is no longer anything in their eyes, so they dare to openly slap you in the face.

There's a reason why the old man is bothered by this.

This requires us to start with the Qi family's position in the Youth Society.

Without a doubt, when the Qi family is mentioned in the Youth Society, no one dares to speak disrespectfully. Their high status is evident from the fact that Mr. Du personally came to visit them and listened to their condition.

However, in reality, although the Qi family has a great reputation, they are actually in a semi-retired state when it comes to real power.

This is also where Qi Hanshan and Master Qi's ideas differ. Retirement was Master Qi's decision, and Qi Hanshan did not disagree with the old man's decision, but he believed that he should not retire too early.

To understand this disagreement, we need to talk about the relationship between the Qi family and Mr. Du.

When Mr. Du was only a few years old, the Du family suffered a fire. After the family escaped, they discovered that of Mr. Du's two sons and one daughter, only one had survived.

Mr. Du and his brother were not there. Later, it was Qi Laoda who risked his life to rush into the fire and rescued Mr. Du.

Therefore, the prosperity of the Qi family was actually directly related to Mr. Du's kind attitude towards Qi Yuansheng after he came to power.

Du Laoda has two sons and one daughter.

However, Qi Laoda's life was not long. He had a son and a daughter. Naturally, the eldest son succeeded to the throne, but unexpectedly, he died a violent death not long after taking the throne.

Originally, the Du family should have lost power by now, but unexpectedly, various forces fought for power and could not reach a compromise, which resulted in Mr. Du, who was not even twelve years old, taking over the position.

Of course, at the time, no one took her, a mere young girl, seriously; she was just a puppet, a temporary measure.

But no one expected that this little girl, who was meant to be a stepping stone, would rise up and become completely dominant just two years later, when she was still no more than fifteen years old.

And the battle that made people remember her so thoroughly, the battle that earned her the title of Mr. Du, was the one in which she wiped out more than 80% of the veterans and heroes of the Youth Society in one night!

Corpses littered the fields, blood stained the pearl.

Many veterans and meritorious officials who once held great power in the Youth Society lost their families and lives as a result...

After that battle, Ms. Du, a woman, secured her position as the leader through bloody battles, and from then on became the formidable Ms. Du of the Pearl Coast.

However, it was precisely because of this that the Youth Society underwent a complete power shift.

Although the older generation who were close to Mr. Du back then did not suffer the calamity, they were still trembling with fear and all wanted to retreat with their families immediately to ensure peace.

The Qi family was naturally an older generation, and even a very prominent elder, so they naturally became the leaders. Seeing his niece's ruthless methods and intentions, Old Master Qi felt a chill in his heart. After thinking it over, he decided to give way.

But to everyone's surprise, Mr. Du refused to give in. He appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, saying that outsiders all said she was a viper, who would not recognize her own relatives and wanted to kill all the meritorious people in her generation. If even her uncle was gone, who would be willing to stay?

Wouldn't that just prove what outsiders are saying wrong, leaving my niece with no chance to stand on her own two feet in this world? Does even her uncle not understand her?

Of course, Qi Laoda understood her. The fire that year killed her younger brother, and her elder brother succeeded her, only to die a violent death. There was a reason for this.

Even so, Qi Laoda was still chilled by her ruthlessness. She was too cruel, practically implicating entire families. Many of his old brothers were even killed by this niece, leaving them childless and without descendants.

Of course, in the end he stayed, along with the rest of his old comrades.

But as Mr. Du consolidated his position, his old comrades gradually faded into obscurity, and many of them ultimately met with bad ends.

He made a decision in his heart that he had to retire. He was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he could not be afraid that his entire family line would be cut off in the future.

However, Mr. Du truly felt a bond of uncle-nephew affection for him and never harmed him. He even tried to persuade him to stay on several occasions. When he saw that Mr. Du was determined not to return to public life, he forcibly placed power in the hands of Mr. Du's son, Qi Hanshan.

However, this is precisely why the father and son began to disagree. The eldest son, Qi, did not allow Qi Hanshan to take power, while Qi Hanshan believed that Mr. Du was sincere and that no matter who Mr. Du would harm, it would not be the Qi family. He thought his father was too cautious.

However, Qi Hanshan could not compete with Old Master Qi no matter what. Fortunately, Mr. Du did treat the Qi family differently and always regarded them as close as relatives. Therefore, the Qi family had always been very prestigious in the Youth Society.

Qi Hanshan insisted, and believed even more strongly, that the old man should not retire so early. He was not unaware of the old man's concerns, but he thought it would not be too late for the old man to retire slowly in his later years.

If he retires too early, when the Qi family is handed over to him, perhaps within a few years, no one will take the Qi family seriously anymore. Then, when he takes over, what will the Qi family have left?

Moreover, his thinking was not without reason. If the old man was truly wary, it wouldn't be too late for him to retire in his later years, and then the Qi family wouldn't be without a chance to rise again.

After all, Mr. Du couldn't possibly abandon his loved ones, but by then, the Qi family would have already declined, and even if Mr. Du wanted the Qi family back, they wouldn't be able to rise again.

So over the years, Qi Hanshan has always had a knot in his heart, and he is particularly concerned about whether the Qi family is still acceptable in the eyes of others.

Today's events have undoubtedly stirred up Qi Hanshan's years of irritability and frustration. How could he remain calm? He would not rest until the entire Pearl River Delta remembered the Qi family again.

"Dr. Zhu..." The butler took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and turned to leave.

When the car stopped, Mo Bai looked out the window and saw that the area in front of the Qi residence was already packed with people.

Indeed, at a glance, the entire entrance and even the street were filled with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.

It must be said that witnessing this scene in broad daylight was truly awe-inspiring.

Qi Hanshan was standing at the gate with his hands behind his back, looking at the approaching car.

The car door opened, and Qi Hanshan came forward to greet them personally.

A flicker of emotion flashed in Mo Bai's eyes. It had been almost half a month since he arrived in Mingzhu from the capital, and he had finally arrived at this day.

He stepped out of the car with firm steps, bowed slightly to Qi Hanshan who was approaching, and said, "Mr. Qi!"

Qi Hanshan strode forward, followed by dozens of close men. They stopped only when Mo Bai approached, while Qi Hanshan led his men forward, bowing to Mo Bai and saying, "Dr. Bai, I'm so sorry you were frightened!"

Mo Bai, supporting his medicine chest, merely smiled slightly without answering. Instead, he glanced around at the thousands of men and softly asked, "I don't know, what's wrong with you...?"

"Doctor Bai, please don't be alarmed. How could I remain indifferent upon learning of what has happened to you? You are here to treat my father, a guest of the Qi family. Since someone dared to attack you on your way to the Qi residence, the Qi family shall bear all the consequences. Just watch what happens today, and the Qi family will give you an explanation. Please wait with me for a moment." Qi Hanshan's voice was neither loud nor soft, neither heavy nor light.

As they were talking, a long line of cars suddenly appeared behind them, accompanied by an unknown number of people, making the whole scene incredibly impressive.
