The Physician Tycoon

"Virus?" Menglan looked at Master Tianlu in confusion.

"Yes, the Night Emperor has developed a very powerful virus that causes genetic mutations in humans, leading to a pandemic and causing a large number of deaths."

"How did his men find out this secret?"

"Coincidentally, the woman his men wanted to kill was a doctor. This doctor was an expert in virus research, and the Night Emperor was worried that this doctor would develop an antidote, so he wanted to kill her."

"She's just a doctor, how could she possibly develop an antidote?"

"She is not alone; she has a research team and collaborates with some major pharmaceutical companies."

"And how did you end up meeting this doctor?"

"It was just a coincidence. An old friend of mine was hospitalized at Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital. I went to visit him at the hospital and happened to run into that hitman who was pretending to be a patient and trying to attack the doctor."

"That Night Emperor is a complete madman! He actually sent people to the hospital to assassinate a doctor!"

Master Tianlu swallowed hard. "He's not human, he's a devil!"

Meng Lan beckoned to Ah Hong, "Pour the tea."

Ah Huang quickly brought over two cups of tea and said respectfully, "Master, please have some tea."

Master Tianluo took a sip and praised, "Ah Huang is so thoughtful, knowing I was thirsty."

Ah Huang smiled obsequiously, "It's my duty to serve the master and the young lady well."

Master Tianlu thought for a moment, then said, "Ah Huang, you've been here for over three months, haven't you?"

Ah Huang said coquettishly, "Master, you really have a bad memory. I've been here for almost half a year."

Master Tianlu laughed, "Look, I've been so busy I forgot."

"You stay in the cabin every day and rarely come back, so it's normal that you can't remember."

This luxurious underground sea-view room is for Menglan. Master Tianluo prefers to live in a wooden house and occasionally comes back to visit Menglan.

Menglan stood up. "Dad, please have your tea. I'll go out for a bit."

Master Tianlu asked warily, "What are you going out for?"

Menglan retorted, "You'd better stay out of girls' business."

"You're not going to see that kid, are you?"

"What are you thinking? He's already far away, probably already on his way ashore. Where am I supposed to find him?"

After Menglan finished speaking, she walked outside.

Master Tianlu waved to Ah Hong, signaling her to follow.

Ah Hong immediately understood and followed Meng Lan out.

Ah Huang poured two more cups of tea and invited Ah Lü and Ah Lan, "Sisters, please have some tea!"

Ah-Lu and Ah-Lan took the teacups and drank.

Ah Lü praised, "This tea is excellent; it's sweet on the palate and has a lingering aftertaste."

Ah Huang gave a thumbs up, "Sister knows tea. This tea has a very strong aftertaste, just like wine."

Ah-Lu drank a few more sips, then suddenly tilted her head and collapsed onto the sofa.

Ah Lan then collapsed as well.

Master Tianlu felt a wave of dizziness. He took a deep breath, focused his energy, and steadied himself. He glared at Ah Huang, "You poisoned the tea?"

Ah Huang chuckled, "It's not poison, it's an anesthetic. You're too tired, old man, get some sleep!"

Master Tianlu felt a chill run down his spine. "Were you sent by the Night Emperor?"

"You found out too late."

"You've been lurking here for so long, why didn't you make your move sooner?"

Ah Huang smiled bitterly, "I've wanted to make a move for a long time, but I haven't had the chance. You've always lived in the wooden house and wouldn't let me get close. I've finally waited for this opportunity."

"You are quite patient."

Master Tianluo spoke while circulating his inner energy, attempting to use his own true energy to detoxify.

Ah Huang saw through Master Tianluo's intentions. "Don't waste your time. This is the latest medicine that Master has developed. It can numb even an elephant, let alone you."

Master Tianluo felt that when his breath reached his chest, it could not go any higher and was blocked near the Tanzhong acupoint in his chest.

He sensed something was wrong, so he concentrated his remaining true energy in his right hand, preparing to launch a fatal blow.

"Falling down, falling down!" Ah Huang muttered.

Master Tianlu pretended to faint and slumped onto the coffee table.

Ah Huang took out a dagger, approached Master Tianluo, and began chanting incantations.

"Old Daoist Tianluo, don't blame me for being heartless. If I fail to complete the Night Emperor's mission, I will be punished. Just do a good deed and sacrifice yourself for the happiness of all of us."

Don't hate me, and don't cause trouble for me in the underworld.

After offering a few prayers, Ah Huang gripped the dagger tightly and plunged it fiercely into Master Tianluo's heart!

Master Tianluo had been waiting for this opportunity. He concentrated all the remaining power in his body into his palm and struck Ah Huang with a palm!

Ah Huang thought Master Tianluo had been knocked out, so he was completely unprepared when he was struck in the chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ah Huang cursed, "You old bastard, you're pretending to be dead! I'll show you how to kill you!"

She brandished her dagger and charged forward again.

Master Tianlu had used up all his strength in that last strike, and his internal energy was scattered. He could only stagger and dodge Ah Huang's dagger.

Master Tianluo dodged while gathering his inner energy, looking for an opportunity.

But Ah Huang wouldn't give him time; she brandished her dagger and chased after Master Tianluo.

In the midst of the melee, Ah Huang stabbed Master Tianluo in the abdomen with his knife, and blood flowed out, staining his clothes red.

Master Tianlu struck Ah Huang on the forehead with a palm strike, using almost all of his strength.

With a loud bang, Ah Huang's head was smashed. Ah Huang also used all his strength to plunge the dagger into Master Tianluo's heart.

Master Tianluo gripped Ah Huang's neck with both hands, and the two became entangled, one tightly choking the other's neck while the other fiercely plunged a dagger into the other's heart.

Finally, Master Tianluo closed his eyes and breathed his last.

Ah Huang rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and breathed his last.

The two perished together.

Ah Hong caught up with Meng Lan. "Miss, you can't leave. The master told me to chase after you and go back."

"Go back by yourself, I'm leaving."

"No, Miss, if you don't go back, the master will punish me."

Ah Hong stepped forward and hugged Meng Lan. Meng Lan tried to shake her off, but Ah Hong held her tightly and refused to let go.

Menglan angrily said, "Let go of me, or I'll kill you!"

She raised her right hand, ready to slap Ah Hong on the head.

"Miss, even if you beat me to death, I won't let go." Ah Hong clung tightly to Meng Lan.

"Don't forget, Ah Hong, who saved you? If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by Li Mingxun long ago!"

"Yes, miss, you are my savior, and that's why I can't let you go."

Why?

"I know you're looking for Ye Kai, and I also know the Night Emperor is looking for Ye Kai. You're doomed if you stay with Ye Kai! I can't let you die!"

"You're so annoying!" Menglan raised her hand in the air and then lowered it. Among the four girls, Ah Hong was the closest to her. She had been with her for two years. Although she was called a maid, they were actually like sisters.

She couldn't bring herself to do it, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back."

Ah Hong was overjoyed. "Miss, that's right. We can't let the master worry."

The two returned to the underground sea-view room and found Master Tianluo and Ah Huang lying on the ground, with a pool of blood beside them.

Menglan rushed forward and picked up Master Tianluo, crying out, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

There was no response; Master Tianluo had already passed away.
