My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 461: I Advise You to Clarify First!

"Manager Liu, you’d better remember what you just said! I’m going to tell my husband about this, and then you’ll be finished! Son, let’s go find your father!" Chen Hua’s mother was furious. She had originally thought that finding the security manager would settle the matter, but it turned out she still had to involve her husband.

Watching the pair leave, Manager Liu sneered. They’re really asking for it. He knew Chen Baixiang’s identity. Chen Guo hadn’t told anyone else, but he had informed Manager Liu, precisely to prevent her from being taken advantage of. The National Medicine Association was a chaotic place, home to all sorts of characters. It had become even more disorderly after the National Medicine Association and the Elixir Medicine Association merged, so it paid to be cautious. The reason Manager Liu didn’t tell Chen Hua and his mother was that he secretly hoped they’d end up in trouble. After all, that shrew had beaten him before. How could he possibly pass up such a golden opportunity?

Meanwhile, Lin Qiang had found his backer within the National Medicine Association: his uncle, Lin Heng.

"Uncle, are you going to do something about this or not? That Chen Baixiang not only rejected me, she mocked and ridiculed me! The worst part is there’s some guy following her around. The more I see him, the angrier I get! You have to help me get even!"

Lin Qiang felt a surge of smug confidence. I may not be able to deal with Chen Baixiang, but my uncle certainly can. He’s in charge of personnel at the National Medicine Association. If he wants someone gone, they’re gone.

"Where did they go?" Lin Heng asked. He had to protect his own nephew. Disrespecting his nephew was the same as disrespecting him.

"I asked around. After arguing with Chen Hua and his mother, those two went to the president’s office. It’s strange, though. Hasn’t the president been away from the office this whole time?" Lin Qiang said, puzzled.

"That lowly wench! How dare she bring an outsider into the president’s office to carry on with sordid affairs while he’s away? This must be investigated thoroughly!" Lin Heng raged. Lin Qiang’s eyes lit up when he heard this. It didn’t matter if it was true or not. As long as his uncle said it was true, then it was true, and no one could change that.

"You men, with me!" Lin Heng summoned several men from his office. There were bodyguards and some who did odd jobs—a group of seven or eight in total. They followed Lin Heng and Lin Qiang straight toward the president’s office.

「」

By this time, Yang Qi and Chen Baixiang were already in the president’s office. Although the president hadn’t been to work, the place was spotless, as if someone cleaned it daily. Watching Chen Baixiang’s deft movements, Yang Qi had a sudden realization.

"Have you been the one cleaning this place all along?" he asked curiously.

"Mhm!" Chen Baixiang nodded. She quickly poured tea for Yang Qi, and her enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable. Is this the same arrogant, unreasonable young lady I knew? He didn’t stop her, however. Instead, he picked up a file from the table that she had just brought over and began to read.

「」

Meanwhile, Lin Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What is it, Uncle?" Lin Qiang asked.

"Hold on. I need to make a call."

Lin Heng was a cautious man. He directly called Chen Guo. "Vice President Chen, is the president of the National Medicine Association coming in today?"

"No, I haven’t received any notification," Chen Guo replied. "Why the sudden question?"

"It’s nothing. Carry on, Vice President Chen!" Lin Heng hung up, a fierce glint in his eyes. "It’s confirmed. It’s not the president. Let’s go!"

Chen Guo was still confused, but he immediately sensed that something was about to happen. He called Yang Qi and explained the situation.

"Oh? I’m in the president’s office right now. Just act like you don’t know anything," Yang Qi said. "I want to see how everyone reacts." With that, he hung up.

Chen Guo knew instinctively that Lin Heng was in for some serious trouble, and he was actually quite pleased by the prospect. That Lin Heng, always relying on his connections, had even ignored his own words. When it came to personnel matters, he loved taking bribes to get things done. As a mere vice president, Chen Guo had no authority to fire him. Now that Yang Qi is here, I might as well seize this chance to clear out these parasites. With that thought, he sat back down.

「」

In the president’s office, Yang Qi was sipping his tea and chatting with Chen Baixiang when the door was suddenly kicked open.

Lin Qiang stormed in with his seven or eight men. He pointed a finger at Chen Baixiang’s face and cursed, "You shameless wench! How dare you carry on with your disgraceful affairs in the president’s office!"

Then, he turned to Yang Qi with a sneer. "And you, kid. I knew you were bad news from the start. Get on your knees with your hands on your head. Otherwise, don’t blame us for what happens next!"

"What? Are you planning to assault someone?" Yang Qi said coldly. "I am the president of the National Medicine Association. Do you have any idea what the consequences would be for striking me?"

"Hahaha! You? The president?" Lin Qiang roared with laughter. "If you’re the president of the National Medicine Association, then I’m the Prefecture Master of Jingnan Prefecture! Kid, you’ve got some serious nerve, spouting lies without even blushing. Let me tell you the truth: my uncle already called Vice President Chen and confirmed that the president isn’t coming in today. You’d better kneel and submit to our ’inspection’ right now. Otherwise, I’ll crack your skull open and show you what the word ’death’ really means!"

Yang Qi took a sip of tea. "I’d advise you to ask again, just to be sure. It would be a huge problem if you were mistaken, wouldn’t it?"

"Screw you!" Lin Qiang bellowed, snatching up a broken table leg and swinging it at Yang Qi’s head. He already hated Yang Qi because of Chen Baixiang. Now that he had a chance to teach him a lesson, he wasn’t about to miss it. The attack was ferocious. The table leg whistled through the air, a testament to the force behind the blow.

"No—!" Chen Baixiang screamed, momentarily forgetting how powerful Yang Qi was.

The next instant, however, someone cried out in pain and went flying out the door. Everyone looked and saw it was Lin Qiang. The club had fallen from his hand; he was sprawled on the ground, unable to get up for a long moment. He felt as if every bone in his body had come loose. The pain was excruciating.

"Get him! Beat him to death for me!" Lin Qiang roared.

The seven or eight men swarmed forward, attempting to overpower Yang Qi. But he just casually flicked a single drop of water from his teacup. In midair, the drop split into seven or eight smaller droplets.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

All seven or eight men collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

Since they were all ordinary people, Yang Qi had held back, merely making them suffer a little. If he had truly attacked them, they would already be meeting King Yan. He made a clear distinction between dealing with Martial Artists and ordinary people. Against a Martial Artist, he could be lethal, but ordinary people were, in some ways, more troublesome.
