Chapter 415: Accidentally Became an Undercover Agent
"Is there something on my face?"
Seeing the unusual atmosphere in the hospital room, with everyone staring at him, and Qin Ming and his mother standing up nervously, Ye Xiu asked with a puzzled expression.
"Ahem... well..." Qin Ming coughed to ease the awkwardness and said cautiously, "I never even dreamed that the illustrious Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu, would actually be my son-in-law."
His words were full of elation. He had been a bachelor for half his life, and now he suddenly had a wife, a daughter, and even a son-in-law who was the number one celebrity in Xuanse.
Qin Qing glanced at Qin Ming. The title of the Xuanse Medicine King’s son-in-law has made you this happy? If you knew he was also Huang Quan, you’d be grinning so hard your face would cramp.
"Don’t just stand there, Little Ye. Come, come sit down," Wang Cuilan called out warmly.
"I’ll pass. I have something I want to discuss with Dad alone." Ye Xiu chuckled and said to Qin Ming, "Dad, could you come outside with me?"
"Oh, okay!" Qin Ming immediately trotted after Ye Xiu out of the hospital room. His demeanor made it seem as though Ye Xiu were the father-in-law and he the son-in-law.
Qin Qing, Wu Meiyu, and Wang Cuilan exchanged glances. They couldn’t understand what Ye Xiu wanted to discuss privately with Qin Ming, but they weren’t concerned. What harm could their son-in-law possibly mean?
Only a few minutes later, Qin Ming returned to the hospital room.
"What did Little Ye talk to you about?" Wang Cuilan asked.
"Nothing much. He just wants us to head back to Jin Ye City right now," Qin Ming said. In truth, Ye Xiu had questioned him about the underground laboratory at the Han Jin City International Entertainment Clubhouse but had told him not to mention it to anyone.
"Then let’s get going," Qin Qing said, standing up.
「...」
In the director’s office at the Wankang Health Hall, Jiao Fuping stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, which offered a clear view of the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall.
Just then, Jiao Fuping saw Ye Xiu walk out and said coldly, "I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon. You’re finally out!"
He took out his phone and made a call. "The person who just left the Mingde Ancient Medical Hall is the target. Follow him, find an opportunity to kill him, and then leave Han Jin City immediately."
After hanging up, he sat back down on the sofa, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Director, murder is illegal. Is it really necessary to kill a mere Ye Liangchen?" his secretary asked.
"You don’t know shit!" Jiao Fuping said in a cold voice. "Ye Liangchen’s medical skills are astonishing. He managed to cure a case as complex as Wang Cuilan’s in a short amount of time, all without surgery. What’s more, he treated a total of seventy-five patients in a single day! With medical skills this remarkable, not even ten people in the entire Medicine King Valley could surpass him. If he isn’t dealt with, the Wankang Health Hall will be finished sooner or later."
「...」
Ye Xiu took a taxi to the Han Jin City International Entertainment Clubhouse.
Before he got out, the driver said, "Young Master, that black Buick has been following us the whole way!"
Ye Xiu glanced back. "Jiao Fuping sent them. You go deal with them."
He then opened the door and got out. When he reached the entrance of the entertainment clubhouse, a security guard stopped him.
"Sir, I apologize, but the clubhouse is temporarily closed today. Please come back another time," the security guard said.
Temporarily closed? Then how am I supposed to get in? Ye Xiu thought for a moment before whispering, "I’m one of us."
The security guard’s attitude immediately became respectful. "Please, come in!"
Damn, are they really this easy to fool? Ye Xiu scoffed internally, swaggered into the clubhouse, and then froze.
The first floor was teeming with a huge crowd of nearly two hundred people, most of whom were foreigners.
How strange! So many foreigners have gathered here, yet Mo Luo’s scouts stationed around the clubhouse failed to notice. It seems Ma Zixiong was right; there really are other passages leading into the clubhouse.
Ye Xiu inconspicuously found a corner to stand in, deciding to observe quietly until he understood the situation.
"Hey, bro, which branch are you from?" a Black man next to him asked, looking at Ye Xiu in broken Huaxia.
Branch? Ye Xiu was completely baffled. He asked, "Which branch are you from?"
"I’m from the Dailuo Country branch. My codename is T6," the man, T6, said.
Ye Xiu replied, "I’m from the Sang Jing branch. My codename is R7."
"Wow, there are quite a few of you from the Fire Seed Company’s Sang Jing branch," T6 exclaimed. "But bro, your Xuanse is really good. By the way, the rest of your people from the Sang Jing branch are over there." He pointed toward the three o’clock position.
Ye Xiu was inwardly horrified. These nearly two hundred people are all from various branches of the Fire Seed Company, gathered from different countries and cities? What on earth are they all doing in Han Jin City?
Maintaining his composure, Ye Xiu said, "It’s too crowded. I’m not going to push my way through. This spot is fine."
"Good point, bro," T6 agreed.
Just then, Ye Xiu saw thirteen people from Xuanse walk in. Based on the intelligence Gong Jin had collected, he recognized them instantly. They’re all from the Xu Family!
The man in the lead was none other than the head of the Xu Family... Xu Zengshan!
What shocked Ye Xiu, however, was that among these thirteen Xu Family members, three were beyond the War God level, and the other ten all possessed the strength of a War God.
This... The Xu Family is even stronger than the Shen Family!
At that moment, Ye Xiu suddenly wondered. Could the Xu Family be a member of the Long Family Alliance? The possibility is high!
After the Xu Family members entered, the family head, Xu Zengshan, said to the others, "Pass them out."
At his command, the Xu Family members, who were carrying bags, began distributing smartphones to everyone present.
Since Ye Xiu was in a corner near the door, he quickly received a phone. He opened the box and examined it. Aside from being unbranded, it looked no different from the phones sold in stores.
"Everyone, turn on your phones and find the Fire Seed app!" Xu Zengshan announced once all the phones had been distributed.
Ye Xiu quickly turned his on and found the Fire Seed app as expected. He opened it and saw that it was a chat application, similar to Superchat, but without any bloat.
"Now, follow the prompts to register an account," Xu Zengshan continued.
Ye Xiu immediately tapped to register. He found that creating a Fire Seed account was different from registering for Superchat. It didn’t require a phone number or verification code, but instead used facial, retinal, and fingerprint recognition, followed by setting a password.
"Bro, what do you think would be a cool nickname?" T6 asked quietly.
Ye Xiu thought for a moment. "Double Tap 666."
T6’s eyes lit up. "I love it! Bro, you’re a genius. What nickname did you pick?"
"One Slash 999," Ye Xiu said.
T6 was speechless.
Just then, an invitation to join a group called "Fire Seed Elite Group" popped up on his screen. Ye Xiu casually accepted and successfully joined.
Holy crap, did I just accidentally infiltrate the Fire Seed Elite Group?
At that moment, Xu Zengshan sent a message in the group: "All of you here are elites from the Fire Seed Company’s various national branches in Dongzhou. You have been ordered to Hexia Road to assist the Long Family in eliminating Ye Xiu. Your leaders for this mission will be myself, Long Xiaoyun—the head of the Guoyang Long Family—and the chairman of the Fire Seed Company..."
