Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"Are you done talking?"

Chu Nan's tone remained calm.

But Xue Beichen sensed something was different. Before, Chu Nan's tone was that he couldn't be bothered with him, but now he was telling him to shut up.

Xue Beichen didn't shut up, because he had finally found something that could pierce through Chu Nan's calm exterior.

"What's wrong? You're upset because I'm talking about her? Then let me tell you about the two of you."

Xue Beichen grinned, his smile twisted even more as his neck was being choked. "You two conspired to swindle me out of fifty million, and you think that's the end of it? You two adulterers, you think you can just play me for a fool just because you have some skills."

"When you signed the contract at Qinlou, did you ever think that one day I would make you pay back your principal with interest?"

Chu Nan's hand was still gripping Xue Beichen, the pressure neither increased nor relaxed.

He glanced at the railing beside the corridor, then reached out his other hand and snatched the gun from Xue Beichen's hand.

Xue Beichen tried to resist, but Chu Nan's fingers only slightly tightened, and he froze.

Chu Nan held the gun in one hand, his fingers gently squeezing it.

The metal gun barrel twisted and deformed in his palm like paper, emitting a harsh scraping sound.

He released his grip, and the crushed gun fell to the ground, its parts scattered everywhere.

Then he picked up a sharp piece of metal from the pile of shards and looked up at the rope suspending Xia Wantang.

Xia Wantang was suspended in the center of the second-floor cavity, with ropes hanging from pulleys on the ceiling and tied to the railings of the corridor.

"This mad dog is still cursing; is he really not afraid of dying?"

In Erniu's opinion, since Chu Nan killed the gunman so decisively, killing Xue Beichen would naturally be no problem for him.

The reason they aren't taking action now is most likely because the timing isn't right.

Chu Nan flicked his wrist, and the metal fragment flew out of his hand, drawing a silver streak in the air and precisely severing the rope.

The moment the rope snapped, Xia Wantang's body began to fall.

Chu Nan tossed Xue Beichen aside, then braced himself against the railing with one hand.

He flipped himself off the second floor and caught Xia Wantang in mid-air.

Her body was very light, and she was still trembling when she landed in Chu Nan's arms, her sealed lips pressed against his chest.

The two landed steadily on the ground floor.

He first helped Xia Wantang steady herself, then tore off the tape from her mouth.

Xia Wantang gasped for breath, her lips trembling. She wanted to say something, but looking into Chu Nan's eyes, she couldn't utter a single word.

Erniu stared at the scene, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly. "Jumping off a building is nothing, crushing a gun is like crushing a cookie, is this what a martial arts master is?"

Ding Ye did not answer, but watched as Chu Nan helped Xia Wantang to the side and let her sit against the wall.

Chu Nan said to Grandpa Ding, "Grandpa, could you please look after her for me?"

Ding Ye nodded, took a pipe in his mouth, and squatted down next to Xia Wantang.

Erniu followed and stood there helplessly, unsure of what to say. Finally, he managed to stammer, "Don't be afraid, young lady. Master Ding is here. No one will dare to touch you."

Chu Nan turned around and looked at Xue Beichen, who was slumped on the ground in the second-floor corridor.

Xue Beichen was getting up from the ground, with a red mark on the back of his neck.

He rubbed his neck, panting, "Damn it, you bastard without parents, are you afraid of me and trying to run away? You son of a bitch!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Nan, like a ghost, leaped from the first floor to the second floor.

Seeing this inhuman scene, Xue Beichen finally revealed his true fear, "You...you stay away."

Of course, what terrified him was not only Chu Nan's display of strength.

After all, Chu Nan jumped from more than ten meters and was unharmed, which is already beyond what a human could do.

Most importantly, he noticed that Chu Nan's gaze had changed.

Previously, Chu Nan looked at him like he was looking at a noisy bird, but now it's a completely different story.

With a chilling glint of murderous intent in his eyes, Xue Beichen realized that something he had just said had crossed Chu Nan's true bottom line.

You can insult me.

Chu Nan's voice wasn't loud, but every word pierced Xue Beichen's ears like nails: "I can tolerate you insulting Sister Tang, but just now—you insulted my parents."

His voice remained calm, but that calmness was more terrifying than any roar.

Xue Beichen tried to back away, but tripped and fell to the ground.

He looked up at Chu Nan and finally realized that he had touched something that should not be touched.

Chu Nan grabbed Xue Beichen by the neck and lifted him off the ground.

This time, it wasn't the back of the neck that was being grabbed; it was the front of the throat.

Xue Beichen's breathing became difficult instantly, and he made muffled sounds in his throat.

"My father won't let you get away with this—he absolutely won't—he knows, he'll—he'll make you—"

Chu Nan's arm was trembling slightly.

It wasn't an excessive shaking, but rather a restraint.

He could crush Xue Beichen's throat with one hand now, as easily as crushing that gun.

And now, he is using immense willpower to restrain that impulse.

"Chunan!"

Xia Wantang's voice came from downstairs.

Chu Nan didn't stop, and Xia Wantang called out again, "Chu Nan!"

She leaned against the wall to stand up, her leg still bleeding, but she ignored it. "It's not worth it! It's not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like him!"

Chu Nan still didn't let up.

Xue Beichen's face was flushed red, and the sounds coming from his throat grew softer and softer.

Just then, a piercing siren came from afar, growing louder as it approached, breaking the silence of the flour mill.

The sound grew louder and closer, clearly indicating that more than one police car was heading this way.

Chu Nan's fingers stiffened for a moment, then he released his grip.

Xue Beichen collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, panting heavily, tears welling up in his eyes from lack of oxygen.

Chu Nan didn't look at him again and turned to walk towards the stairs.

Master Ding pointed at Xue Beichen, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Take him away."

Erniu responded and ran up to the second floor in three quick steps, dragging Xue Beichen towards the side door like a dead dog.

Xue Beichen was dragged on the ground, mumbling something incoherently, but his voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared outside the side door.

Chu Nan walked up to Xia Wantang, who was sitting against the wall, blood still seeping from the wound on her leg, her face pale from blood loss.

Chu Nan squatted down and took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. It was the medicine he always carried with him, the one his grandfather had left him.

"It will hurt a little."

Chu Nan poured out some medicinal powder and gently applied it to Xia Wantang's wound. "But it won't leave a scar."

I don't care about leaving scars.

Xia Wantang's voice was very soft, but there was a seriousness in her tone that Chu Nan had never heard before.

"Then what do you care about?"

"I care that you almost strangled him just now."

Xia Wantang looked at Chu Nan, "Do you know what I was thinking when I was looking at you from up there?"

Chu Nan shook his head.

"I'm thinking, if he really pushes you to that point, I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Xia Wantang paused, "Because I'd rather get hurt myself than have you kill someone because of me."

Chu Nan lowered his head and applied the medicine to her, remaining silent for a moment before asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little cold..."

The fear and tears in Xia Wantang's eyes hadn't completely dried, but the corners of her mouth had already turned up slightly. "If you hug me, maybe I won't be cold anymore~"
