《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 877 - Two-faced
Advertisement
All elevators had an obstruction safety system. So the elevator wouldn’t be able to move up if the door weren’t closed.
But Old Zhong had also seen some videos of elevators going out of control and causing the separation of bodies. So when he heard Su Tao’s words, he began to tremble from the bottom of his soul.
Su Tao caught a scent of urine, which he knew that this man was really terrified of. Snickering inwardly, he dragged Old Zhong into the lift. Placing his feet on Old Zhong’s neck, he questioned, “Where’s the USB flash drive storing the data?”
Old Zhong finally realized that Su Tao was here for the USB flash drive. Su Tao’s means were too brutal, and he was afraid of death even if he was used to these kinds of scenes. He was afraid that Su Tao might do something insane. But since it could be peacefully resolved, he did not want to risk his life.
Without any hesitation, Qu Wanwan took out the USB flash drive. Taking the USB flash drive from Old Zhong, Su Tao gave him a kick. Old Zhong’s head collided against the elevator so hard that he almost fainted.
Without any sympathy for Old Zhong, Su Tao asked in a deep voice, “Be honest with me. Do you have any backup?”
“No!” Old Zhong was fighting the dizziness and replied, “I’m telling the truth. You can ask Wanwan if you don’t believe me.”
Qu Wanwan’s face was pale when she looked at Su Tao. Su Tao’s behavior made her mistook him for a criminal.
Then again, Su Tao had no choice but to make himself seem this way. He had to be ruthless with these people. If he negotiated with smiles on his face, these two would only try to coax him. Su Tao knew about this well, which was the reason why he deliberately acted so fiercely.
“This is the USB flash drive that I gave him.” Qu Wanwan spoke with her voice trembling.
Nodding his head, Su Tao took out his phone and gave a call to Xia Yu, “Where are you right now?”
Su Tao called Xia Yu over because he was afraid that he might not be able to resolve this matter. But it would be safe with Xia Yu’s help.
“Beijing is too congested. I just arrived at the underground parking lot.” Xia Yu smiled bitterly.
“I’m on the 16th floor!” Su Tao replied in a huff.
“I’ll come up!” Xia Yu glanced at a parking lot. A vehicle wanted to park there, but he stepped on the accelerator and made swift parking. Looking at the female driver on the right, he gave an apologetic gesture before running to the elevator entrance.
While Su Tao was waiting for Xia Yu, Ning Yi felt that Old Zhong was taking a little too long. When he gave a call to Old Zhong, Old Zhong could only lie to him out of Su Tao’s presence. He said that he had a stomachache and needed to visit the toilet. He would still need about ten minutes before he was done with his business.

Snatching the phone over from Old Zhong, Su Tao sneered, “You’re a professional conman indeed. Your mouth is full of lies.”
With an awkward smile, Old Zhong put up a pitiful look and explained, “It’s not easy being in this business. Who doesn’t want to be a good person? We’re only forced by society to take this step.”
Giving another kick to Old Zhong, Su Tao raged, “You conned tens of millions from Lu Yunchuan alone. You call this forced to make a living? Are your conscience eaten by dogs?!”
Old Zhong knew that he could only admit it today under this situation. He curled his body together in a corner and began groaning out in pain.
When Xia Yu arrived, Su Tao got Qu Wanwan to open the doors and instructed, “Look after the two of them. Don’t let them run away.”
“What about you?” Xia Yu asked.
“I will meet with his customers.” Su Tao smiled.
Nodding his head, Xia Yu replied coldly, “Although they did not succeed, we still have to be reminded to save trouble.” Su Tao had already gotten the location from Old Zhong. Taking the cap from Xia Yu and sunglasses from Old Zhong, he headed to the appointed room.
After Su Tao left, Xia Yu glanced at Qu Wanwan. Looking at her outstanding figure, he frowned, “Why do you want to be a conman with your appearance?”
As he spoke, his rage began to burn, and stomped on Old Zhong’s face ferociously, “You must be the reason why!”
In Xia Yu’s view, Qu Wanwan’s profession was no different from prostitutes. Then again, Qu Wanwan was more disgusting. Not only did she sell her body, but she even sold her conscience and principles.
Prostitutes only had a flesh transaction with customers, leaving after they were done. But Qu Wanwan not only drains her prey dry, but she even makes use of other people’s feelings for her. It was something that made him feel intolerable.
She only had an outstanding appearance. But her heart was as vicious as a poisonous snake.
Xia Yu wasn’t as gentlemanly as Su Tao. He did not have any principles about not touching women. After kicking Old Zhong in the fact, he still did not feel satisfied and pulled Qu Wanwan over, throwing her at Old Zhong. He did not feel any pity for her at all. Seeing that she wasn’t tactful, he kicked her butt violently.
Taking his phone, Xia Yu frowned, “Conmen like you must be exposed. Otherwise, god knows how many people will be deceived. Let me take some pictures to be persuasive enough.”
Xia Yu had a good habit of taking photos anytime and anywhere.
When Su Tao pressed on the doorbell, Ning Yi looked at Wang Jiajia and smiled, “It must be Old Zhong.”
Ning Yi went over and looked through the peephole out of habit. But he wasn’t able to see anything aside from pitch black because Su Tao was blocking the view with his thumb. Ning Yi knitted his brows, thinking that the peephole must be faulty. He opened the door and saw a man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. But this man was wearing a robe, which suddenly raised his leg and kicked Ning Yi’s abdomen.

Ning Yi was thrown a few meters away from the huge impact and landed on the ground. Looking at this scene, Wang Jiajia and Gu Yang were both terrified. The development of this situation had caught them by surprise. Removing his sunglasses, Su Tao sneered, “Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Old Zhong won’t be coming.”
“It’s you!” Gu Yang stared at Su Tao. Her luck would run out every time she encounters Su Tao. She felt that it must be Jiang Qinghan, who wanted her disciple to teach her a lesson.
Wang Jiajia also recognized Su Tao back from the squash court. In Huo Kun’s view, Su Tao must be Ni Jingqiu’s lover. Wang Jiajia knew nothing about Su Tao. But she knew that he was Qin Jingyu’s rival despite the fact that he wasn’t from any of the four families in Beijing.
“What do you want?” Wang Jiajia glanced at Ning Yi cautiously. Ning Yi might not have practiced martial arts, but he played squash for a long time so he was stronger than an ordinary man. But when she saw how he was sent flying by Su Tao’s kick, she began to panic.
“I’m not trying to do anything. You guys are trying to set up against Jingqiu, and since it has been exposed, I demand an explanation.” Su Tao calmly replied.
“Explanation? How laughable! Firstly, do you have any evidence that I’m trying to set up against Ni Jingqiu? Secondly, even if what you say is true, what can you do about it? Which of us in the circle isn’t scheming against each other? The Wang and Ni Families weren’t friends, to begin with. Worse comes to worst, we will just go to war. My Wang Family fears no one!” Wang Jiajia maintained her cool, trying to suppress Su Tao with her background.
“It looks like you won’t behave if I don’t give you a lesson.” Su Tao smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Su Tao was walking over to Wang Jiajia, she became nervous and replied, “Don’t lose your rationale. Let me remind you that I’m someone from the Wang Family. If you dare to touch me, my family won’t let you off!”
Su Tao shrugged, “Our hatred has already been planted. I will definitely encounter your revenge in the future even if I stop now. So I might as well take it further. When you feel pain deep in your bones, you will know that there are some people in the world that you can’t afford to offend.”
Su Tao spoke as he kicked Ning Yi and sneered, “Stop pretending to be dead. Get up and pin her down.” Su Tao pointed at Wang Jiajia.
But just when Ning Yi wanted to keep his eyes closed, Su Tao gave him another kick, which made him groan out in pain. Seeing that Su Tao still wanted to kick him, he immediately got up on his feet. He had already suffered in the squash court, and he did not want to suffer any more pain right now. In the end, he could only gnash his teeth and walked towards Wang Jiajia with a bitter expression, “I’m sorry. I don’t have a choice!”
“Get lost! Don’t touch me!” Wang Jiajia started to panic.
Seeing that Wang Jiajia finally started to panic, Su Tao sneered. When he saw that Gu Yang wanted to make a call secretly, he walked over and snatched the phone over and pushed her down beside Wang Jiajia.
“Now, remove her clothes!” Su Tao ordered.
Ning Yi was briefly stunned before he gnashed his teeth and started to tear off Wang Jiajia’s clothes while muttering, “I didn’t have a choice.”
Wang Jiajia still wanted to struggle, but under Ning Yi’s strength, her collar was pulled apart with her skin revealed. She began to panic. What was Su Tao trying to do? Did Su Tao want Ning Yi to strip her naked and have a live performance?
But she didn’t have a choice right now. As a member of the Wang Family, she could naturally deal with Su Tao, but definitely not right now. If she was raped by Ning Yi and had a video taken by Su Tao, she would’ve already suffered an imaginable loss.
As Su Tao coldly looked at how Wang Jiajia began to show fear, regret, and helplessness, he spoke out, “Stop!”
That’s all? Ning Yi looked at Su Tao in disbelief.
Shrugging his shoulders, Su Tao walked over and sent Ning Yi flying with a kick. He then squatted down and adjusted Wang Jiajia’s torn clothes. He spoke out, “This is a lesson for you today. If you continue to harass Jingqiu, you will know what’s coming next.”
Looking at Su Tao’s appearance now, it showed that not only was Su Tao shrewd, but he was also two-faced. Was Su Tao only trying to intimidate her?
Wang Jiajia’s heart was filled with rage, humiliation, and fear. She did not dare to speak a second word as she watched Su Tao leave.
She finally understood why Huo Kun would show such fear whenever he heard Su Tao’s name.
Su Tao’s actions were always so unexpected and unpredictable.
“Are you alright?” Ning Yi came over to comfort Wang Jiajia in embarrassment after Su Tao left.
“Get lost!” Wang Jiajia roared, venting all her anger on Ning Yi.

[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
