Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.

Chapter 91

Ye Zong stood up from the armchair and bowed to Master Guigu:

"Please calm down, sir. Qinglian is my adopted daughter, and my pain at her injury is no less than yours. But the root of this problem doesn't lie with Qinglian; it lies with that young man named Chen Li."

"Chen Li!"

Master Guigu narrowed his eyes, the name rolling on his tongue, carrying a sharpened hatred:

"That bastard stole Villa No. 28 in Bihu Longting, cutting off my path to set up an array and gather Qi, and now he even dares to kill my disciple's Gu?"

His voice suddenly rose a notch:

"My body can't hold him until tomorrow!"

That's exactly what Ye Zong was waiting for.

He stepped forward, his tone earnest and solemn:

"Since you have this intention, I, Ye Zong, am willing to do everything in my power to assist you."

"Sir, you may not know this, but the president is also extremely dissatisfied with Chen Li's existence. If you can take action to get rid of this person, not only will the entire Vermilion Bird Hall be grateful for your great kindness, but I can also ask the president for a great favor on your behalf."

As he spoke, he took out a sandalwood box from a hidden compartment under the tea table and opened the lid.

Inside, there was a dark red velvet lining, on which lay three egg-sized objects, all dark green with natural cloud patterns flowing across their surfaces, faintly radiating an extremely pure spiritual aura of plants.

"These are the essences of three thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that I have treasured for many years. They have a miraculous effect on raising one's natal Gu."

"If you can bring Chen Li back with his life, these three spirit mushroom essences will be your reward."

"Furthermore, the rule of supplying the Master with fresh, living human blood and qi every month has been increased from three portions to five portions."

Master Guigu's gaze lingered on the three Ganoderma lucidum essences for two seconds, a greedy glint emerging from the murderous intent in his eyes.

He stretched out his withered fingers, picked one up, sniffed it, and nodded slightly.

"The product is good!"

He put the Ganoderma lucidum essence back into the box and said:

"I'll take Chen Li's life!"

"However, the woman from the special operations team next to him needs to be dealt with properly, otherwise he'll be in trouble if he gets targeted."

Ye Zong continued:

"I'll hold off Song Qingtong; you only need to deal with Chen Li."

Mr. Guigu turned around and walked steadily toward the back door of the tea room, his cloth shoes making no sound on the wooden floor.

He stopped at the door, didn't turn around, and said:

"Qinglian must not use her inner energy for three days; let her rest well. On the night of the full moon three days later, I will personally go and take Chen Li's head."

The curtain fell.

The tea room fell silent again.

Ye Qinglian leaned back in the armchair, her palms pressed against her chest, the medicinal power of the Heart-Protecting Pill slowly dissolving within her body.

She watched as her adoptive father locked the sandalwood box back into the hidden compartment, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

Ye Zong locked the hidden compartment and turned around. Seeing her hesitant expression, he walked over, squatted down in front of her, and looked her straight in the eye.

"Do you think your godfather did something wrong?"

Ye Qinglian was silent for a few seconds, then gently shook her head:

"Godfather has his own difficulties. It's just that Chen Li is someone my Gu techniques can't kill, and even Master's Gu techniques might not be able to defeat him reliably. Has Godfather considered what would happen if Master made a mistake?"

Ye Zong stood up and patted her on the shoulder:

"Then let Mr. Guigu have an even higher chance of winning. Before he makes a move, I will arrange for people to eliminate Chen Li's people one by one. He can't protect everyone all the time."

……

Zhao Guangzhu called just as dawn was breaking.

Chen Li got up from the meditation cushion. The soreness in his shoulders had mostly subsided after a night of meditation, but when he answered the phone and heard the voice on the other end, he knew that his peaceful day was probably over.

"Mr. Chen, something has happened."

Zhao Guangzhu's voice was terribly hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Chen Li comforted him.

"The Medical Association just sent an urgent notice saying that they received an anonymous tip accusing Harmony Hospital of illegal organ harvesting in the Yang Muqing surgery case, and demanding that we suspend operations to cooperate with the investigation."

As expected, someone would nitpick. Chen Li asked calmly:

"What did the notice say?"

Zhao Guangzhu replied:

"It's written. Effective immediately, all medical activities are suspended until the investigation is complete!"

"Mr. Chen, they're trying to cut off our lifeline!"

"We just received the five-star rating yesterday, and it's being taken back today. We were the ones who reported Xu Jiang to the police and had him arrested. Chang Lin's testimony is crystal clear. How did it become that we were colluding with Xu Jiang?"

"Xiao Liu from the Medical Association's administration office also said that the president of the Medical Association convened an emergency meeting of the review committee at 11 p.m. last night. At the meeting, so-called new evidence was presented, saying that although the recipient of the transfer record between Xu Jiang and Chang Lin was listed as Chang Lin's personal account, a sum of money was ultimately returned to the financial account of Harmony Hospital under the guise of medical equipment procurement."

"Mr. Chen, I swear there's something fishy going on here. I personally oversee the finance department's accounts every month."

Chen Li interrupted him:

"I know you didn't do it, and the conspirators don't need you to do it. They only need this transaction on the books to muddy the waters."

"Tell me, from which supplier did that repurchase go?"

Zhao Guangzhu was silent for two or three seconds, clearly searching for something:

Renhe Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.

"I checked. The company is registered in a county-level city under Yuncheng. The legal representative's name is... Mr. Chen, wait a minute... Wu Jiye. I don't know him, I've never had any dealings with him before."

Chen Li nodded and said:

"Accept the hospital's closure notice first, but don't openly confront the Medical Association. I'll have someone investigate Renhe Company's background. Also, do you have Chang Lin's original statement?"

Zhao Guangzhu replied:

"Yes, I took a photo for my records, and the paper lock is in my office safe."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li dialed Song Qingtong's number.

He answered after one ring; there was the background sound of wheels rolling on the road, indicating that Song Qingtong was already on her way.

"What a coincidence."

Song Qingtong's voice came through the receiver:

"I was just about to call you, but something interesting happened at Century Hospital."

"The morgue's surveillance footage was tampered with for three minutes. The nurse on duty said that Ms. Ye had been there, but she didn't see what she did. However, Ye Qinglian did enter and leave Century Hospital during that time period."

"After Han Jiang's body was disposed of by you, Century Hospital should theoretically have received a car accident body, right? But I just checked Century Hospital's body collection records, and they didn't register Han Jiang's body as being put into storage at all."

"This means that Han Jiang, who was dead, ran away on his own."

Chen Li nodded and said:

"This just confirms our suspicion that Ye Qinglian used the Corpse Control Gu to control Han Jiang. We should just capture Ye Qinglian directly."

Song Qingtong denied it:

"What are you thinking? There's not enough evidence to prove she did it. Just wait and see, the truth will come out eventually."

Chen Li said:

"It's alright. I killed the Corpse-Controlling Gu. The backlash will be enough for her to recover from for a while. Let her suffer slowly."

The sound of papers turning came from Song Qingtong's side:

"Are you free right now? Come to the Special Operations Group; I need to show you something."

"The Economic Crime Investigation Department just sent over the information on Renhe Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. Guess who the shareholders of this company are?"
