The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Earned 30 Billion
 

Once everything settled, Huang Xiaolong yawned and patted Lin Zicong on the shoulder, “I’m done here. I’m going back to sleep. You take care of the rest.”

“Alright, teacher.” Lin Zicong looked at Huang Xiaolong with reverence. “Teacher, those snipers… uh… How did they suddenly fall from the building and get crushed to death… this is… unfathomable… your methods are truly unpredictable~~”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.” Huang Xiaolong laughed and turned to leave.

As he took a few steps, a man named Minghui quickly approached. “Mr. Huang, please wait.”

“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong saw that Minghui was followed by Miss Ji and her two bodyguards, a middle-aged male grandmaster of ancient martial arts, and a short-haired woman with a sharp aura.

“What’s the matter?” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Mr. Huang, thank you for intervening tonight. Without you, the consequences would have been unthinkable. On behalf of the Ji Group, I express my deepest gratitude.” surprisingly, Minghui bowed in front of Huang Xiaolong.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I just happened to come across this and acted on whim.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.

“Well… Mr. Huang, regarding tonight’s assassination attempt on Miss Ji, I’m afraid it’s related to the internal struggles of the Ji family…” Minghui hurriedly explained.

“Oh. Don’t bother telling me all this, I’m not interested.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.

Actually, without Minghui saying it, Huang Xiaolong understood. Throughout history, wherever there are interests, there would be conflicts. The competition inside royal families and large clans is particularly cruel. Not to mention large clans, even the siblings of a wealthy rural gentry’s family can turn against each other and even go as far as murdering for inheritance.

The Ji Group is a global giant, a huge financial consortium akin to an aircraft carrier, controlling countless casinos, earning mountains of gold and silver every day.

It’s said that Miss Ji is currently the helmswoman of the Ji Group, so it would naturally mean her siblings at home would want to kill her and seize power.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

“Mr. Huang…” At this moment, the middle-aged male grandmaster of ancient martial arts interrupted Huang Xiaolong. “I… I’ve traveled across the world for decades and faced many formidable enemies… and lived on the edge of life and death. But the methods you used just now to annihilate the enemies… I’ve never even heard of them before, not to mention seen them. I’m truly impressed, I, Xia Jian, am humbled.”

It seemed that this middle-aged grandmaster truly admired Huang Xiaolong from the bottom of his heart, he was even being courteous.

“Xia Jian?” Huang Xiaolong asked, “Who is Xia Ying to you?”

“Ah? Mr. Huang, you know my daughter?” Xia Jian was puzzled.

This was a surprise: Xia Ying from the martial arts Xia family was the bodyguard’s daughter to the woman in front of Huang Xiaolong!

Huang Xiaolong was well aware that Xia Ying had ulterior motives towards him.

Now he was stuck in an awkward situation!

‘Could it be that one day in the future, I’ll have to call this Xia Jian my father-in-law? Pff!’ Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

“Oh, we had a few encounters.” Huang Xiaolong didn’t reveal anything and jested, “But we are not that close.”

“Great… great! I never imagined Mr. Huang would know my daughter! This is such an honor for Ying! This is wonderful! Now things are easier, much easier.” Xia Jian was excited and rubbing his hands together.

“What’s the matter?” Huang Xiaolong was puzzled.

“Mr. Huang, the thing is, this time, Miss Ji came to Binhai for leisure on the surface, but actually… she has some important matters to deal with. However, with all the troubles transcending internal and external factors within the Ji family we just saw, the assassins lurking around, and various plots targeting Miss Ji… ” Minghui looked pleadingly at Huang Xiaolong. “Mr. Huang, during Miss Ji’s time in Binhai, could you… Could you protect her? It seems now that the only one capable of protecting Miss Ji is you.”

“Humph!” The short-haired woman let out a displeased grunt, but she didn’t dare to contradict. After all, in dangerous situations like just now, she and Xia Jian were helpless, and might even have lost their own lives.

“Ah~~~” Xia Jian sighed helplessly. “We’ve overestimated ourselves. We thought that Lingling and I would be enough to protect Miss Ji. But the enemy was too ruthless. And it’s hard to guard against ill intentions. There must be traitors within the company…Ah~~”

After a pause, Xia Jian introduced, “Mr. Huang, this is Ouyang Lingling. She’s also a grandmaster of ancient martial arts, a real prodigy.”

“Oh… hello, hello.” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze lingered on Ouyang Lingling’s sexy figure, thinking that this woman was really beautiful, although a bit fiesty.

“What are you looking at!” Ouyang Lingling glared at Huang Xiaolong.

“Ahem~~ Lingling, don’t disrespect Mr. Huang.” Xia Jian quickly tried to smooth things over. “Mr. Huang, this girl, Lingling, she’s a bit hot-headed… Please… Please don’t take it personally.”

“I get it, you want me to be her bodyguard…” Huang Xiaolong smiled at Miss Ji, then shook his head. “I’m sorry, but I’ve never thought about being anyone’s bodyguard. I also never thought I would protect anyone- unless she were my wife.”

“You…” Miss Ji’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “I can pay you. Moreover, I will only be in Binhai for seven days. That is to say, you only need to protect me for seven days. Please.”

After a pause, a hint of stubbornness appeared in Miss Ji’s bright eyes, “If it’s really inconvenient for Mr. Huang … then … then I won’t force you.”

Clearly, Miss Ji is a very strong-willed young lady. She was quite attractive, with bright eyes and white teeth, her thin red lips tilted up slightly, her skin was fair, and she had an absolute goddess-like presence. However, at this moment there was a nearly helpless look on her face that invoked feelings of compassion from Huang Xiaolong.

Xia Jian pleaded bitterly on the side. “Mr. Huang, since you know my daughter Ying, could you do it for her sake… ”

At this point, Xia Jian couldn’t continue.

Given Huang Xiaolong’s skills and powerful presence, it seemed like he did not need to give any face to Xia Ying…

“Mr. Huang, Miss Ji has been struggling to support the Ji Group for these years, it’s…it’s really not easy. Although she has unparalleled gambling skills, she is after all a fragile woman… Mr. Huang, you…you should sympathize with her… she… she can’t have any mishaps!” Minghuang took off her glasses, there were tears streaming down her face.

“Housekeeper Ming, there’s no need for you to say anymore. I…I will not impose on others.” Miss Ji bit her lower lip tightly, almost to the point of drawing blood. “If I can safely leave Binhai this time, I will reciprocate today’s life-saving favor.”

With that, Miss Ji turned to leave.

Ouyang Lingling looked at Huang Xiaolong with some disappointment. “You really have a heart of stone.”

“Um…wait.” Huang Xiaolong helplessly shook his head.

“Mr. Huang.” Miss Ji turned around expectantly.

“You said you’d give me money, right?” Huang Xiaolong gave it some thought.

“Yes.” Miss Ji nodded heavily. “I’ll pay!”

Ouyang Lingling showed a look of contempt, muttering. “After all the talk, you’re still just a greedy man.”

“Alright then, give me 200 billion.” After carefully calculating, Huang Xiaolong said with a serious face.

“What? 200 billion?” Ouyang Lingling’s clear eyes widened more than a bull’s. “I mean… you must be kidding? 200 billion? You’re asking for 200 billion right off the bat? Is your brain full of money?”

“Yes.” Huang Xiaolong suddenly exclaimed. “I am a humble farmer. I come from a rural area. My hometown, is in the mountains. It’s a barren land, there’s no running water, electricity, television, Internet… The village is all rugged mountains, and to go to the county town, one must walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads. It’s not easy traveling the dirt roads, and people of older age, can’t make it and end up stuck in the village their whole lives.”

“The village has no hospital, no school, children have no money for their education, they can’t see the outside world…” Huang Xiaolong got more and more emotional as he spoke, “This time when I came to the city, I wanted to earn money, to build schools, make roads, establish hospitals and nursing homes…For the villagers to live better, for the children to go to school, to go to college… To become useful people to the nation and society.”

“So… is 200 billion enough?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Minghuang with tearful eyes, as if he had touched himself by saying these words.

“Ehm…I never expected, I never thought you had such a difficult childhood, Mr. Huang …” Minghuang said a bit awkwardly. “To build schools and houses, mend roads and bridges…200 billion… should be enough.”

“I’ll give you 300 billion.” Miss Ji wiped away a tear, touched. “I’m willing to give 300 billion. To transform your hometown into a prosperous place!”

“Good, deal! I’ve fulfilled two out of my three wishes for coming to the city.” Huang Xiaolong took out a note with a bank account number on it and handed it to Minghuang. “This is the village chief’s bank account, you can transfer the money straight to this account. I think 300 billion should be plenty.”

“Well…okay then…” Minghuang took the note tremblingly, with a sense of pain in her heart.

Although the Ji Group is wealthy enough to rival nations, 300 billion is not a small sum of money. Moreover, the money of the Ji Group was not all Miss Ji’s money.

But on second thought, Miss Ji’s life would be worth the 300 billion.

“Who knows if you’re lying or not.” Ouyang Lingling murmured softly.
