《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 919 - Wicked Meets Ruthless
Advertisement
Looking at Ma Xiangming keeping his silence, Ma Yongcai lost his interest in reprimanding his son. His wife, Huang Lan, knew that her husband had a fiery temper. So she came out and spoke softly, “How can you get him to kneel? He’s still injured!”
“Keep spoiling him!” Ma Yongcai raged. He waved his hand and pointed at Ma Xiangming, “Come with me to the study room!”
Ma Xiangming struggled to get up on his feet and walked to the study room with his cane. Ma Xiangming pointed at the envelope on the desk and instructed, “Give this to Wu Jun tomorrow!”
Ma Xiangming was shocked. He immediately revealed a fawning smine, “How much money is that?”
“¥500,000!” Ma Yongcai snorted.
“Isn’t it a little too much?” Ma Xiangming frowned.
Slamming on the desk, Ma Yongcai roared, “That’s a life you’re talking about! You should be grateful that he’s alive. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out of this mess no matter how much you pay!”
However, Ma Xiangming didn’t agree with his father. In the end, he only gave a verbal promise, “I’ll send it to him early tomorrow.”
Ma Yongcai’s face improved upon hearing that. He waved his hand impatiently, “Remember to ask him for forgiveness. If you cause another trouble, then you can get lost!”
Ma Xiangming immediately felt spared and left the study room limping. Huang Lan came in after Ma Xiangming left and frowned, “You’re not in good health. Why are you so angry?”
“You still want to protect him?” Ma Yongcai replied in a solemn voice. He turned on his phone and tapped into a link, “Look at what he did!”
Huang Lan looked at it and saw an article about Ma Xiangming beating up Wu Jun. She frowned, “There is no evidence about it. Why are you so afraid?”
“How ignorant can you get? Things are different now. This article is widely spreading the corporation’s social media. Before I got off work, the chairman personally called me over to ask about this matter. You should know the current situation in the corporation. The few of us are trying to compete for the position of CEO. Do you know the trouble that this can cause me?”
Huang Lan also knew how important it was. In order to get the CEO position, Ma Yongcai had spent a lot of money trying to get connections around. He now had the most potential in the position.
“I must be Shi Zhongtian who framed you!” Huang Lan’s face flushed with anger. “I saw his wife today and she even mocked me!”

“Shi Zhongtian finally found this chance, so he will naturally make good use of it. If it wasn’t for your beloved son who caused such a huge mess, why would we be in this position?” Ma Yongcai sighed.
Huang Lan’s face alternated between red and white before she asked weakly, “What should I do then?”
“Let him bring money over and apologize. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll pay a visit personally.” Ma Yongcai replied solemnly.
“Then I’ll go with him tomorrow.” Huang Lan nodded her head.
Ma Yongcai nodded and continued to sit in his desk, looking at the documents while Huang Lan left.
Ma Yongcai looked at the documents for a while and grabbed onto the teacup. But he suddenly lost grip on it and the teacup fell onto the ground. Ma Yongcai was stunned by this scene. He had been using this teacup for almost seven to eight years, and this had never happened before. He was a little flustered and sighed, “It doesn’t feel right. It looks like I have to make a trip tomorrow to Hongye Temple.”
Hongye Temple was a famous nunnery in Xijing City. The Abbess, Jing Fei, was a famous figure. It was a temple that enshrined the Bodhisattva, which was rumored to be very effective.
In fact, religious places were roughly the same. The Christian’s confessional room, which had the same effect as Buddhism. When there were knots that couldn’t be undone in the heart, people would usually seek comfort in religion.
At 4 a.m. in the morning, the bar street slowly became deserted. Xie Chang watched the guests leaving one after another and took out a lighter to light the cigarette. He took two deep puffs. There were three men sitting next to him.
“Snow Leopard, everything is prepared. The brothers are all gathered near the Ma Family’s house. We’re just waiting for your order.” A man said in a deep voice. He looked to be in his mid-thirties with a bolt pattern on his head.
“Thunderbolt, you’re good with quality and not quality. This is something that the second boss had instructed us, so we can’t afford any mistakes.” Xie Chang suddenly stood up from his seat and tidied his clothes before he snapped his fingers. “Let’s go.”
A robust man handed a toolbox to Xie Chang. Xie Chang looked through it before he finally took an axe. “Let’s go!”
Ma Xiangming couldn’t sleep well together. Although his leg was no longer painful, he still had a cast that affected his sleeping posture. So throughout the night, he had been half-awake.
When he suddenly heard a dog barking, Ma Xiangming immediately bounced up. But he soon dismissed it as a dream and laid back down. Looking at the ceiling, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He had no idea how long had passed. He suddenly heard a commotion from the door and immediately jolted awake. He was shocked. Someone wanted to enter his room? Or was he just dreaming?
Insecure people would usually have the feeling of someone barging into your room late at night. But it felt real this time. The doorknob was twisted twice before the door was slowly pushed aside. Ma Xiangming thought that he was dreaming, but he didn't get up. But a huge object suddenly fell on him, hitting him hard.
“What is this?” Ma Xiangming reached out for the furry and slimy object in the darkness. When he focused his senses, he could even catch a blood stench. He subconsciously rubbed his fingers together. His fingers were all covered in blood.
He finally jolted awake and wanted to reach out for the lights. When he got a closer look, he saw the head of a dog lying on him, looking at him.
His mattress was covered in blood. He felt as if he wasn’t at home but hell.
“I must be dreaming!” Ma Xiangming slapped himself. But he soon felt the pain because it didn’t seem like a dream!
Ma Xiangming’s first reaction was heartache. There were many Tibetan Mastiff out in the market, and you could easily get a hybrid one for as little as ¥500. But the best one would cost tens of millions. These two Tibetan Mastiffs alone cost him ¥2,000,000.
His second reaction was fear. Although the Tibetan Mastiff was all grown up and kept at him, it was still ferocious. If he threw it in the wild, not even the most ferocious lion could fight against it. For something so ferocious to be beheaded, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill him.
Ma Xiangming didn’t let out a single noise. He was worried that the murderer was lying around and he would be killed. He immediately laid back down and pretended to be deeply asleep. But even so, his body was trembling with fear.
He waited for roughly an hour. When he saw that there was no commotion, he mustered his courage and got off the bed. He tiptoed out the room and headed for his father’s room first. He was afraid that he would open the door to find his parents dead.
Ma Xiangming observed briefly and heard his parents snoring before he felt relieved. Knowing that the other party was trying to intimidate him and not threatening his family’s life, Ma Xiangming calmed down before he came out of the villa.
The guards were in the sentry station. Ma Xiangming boldly tried to see if the guard was breathing, before realizing that the guard was still alive. Picking up the cup of water from the desk, it poured it on the guard.
The guard, who was knocked out, jolted awake from the water. He immediately regained his consciousness and looked at Ma Xiangming in shock, “Y-young master…”
“Did you see who knocked you out?” Ma Xiangming had no idea how he should vent his anger at this moment.
“I didn’t!” The guard was blanked. Although he was a veteran from the army, his physique was just better than an ordinary person out the streets.
“You trash!” Ma Xiangming cursed softly and roared, “Come with me!”
The guard had his limbs cold and followed Ma Xiangming to where the Mastiffs were. When they arrived, they saw a pool of blood. The two mastiffs were nowhere seen. There were words on the wall written in blood, “An eye for an eye!”
“Where are they?” The guard felt his scalps tingling. Although he was a guard, the job was mostly done by the two mastiffs.
“Clean this place up. My room as well. Don’t tell my parents about it.” Ma Xiangming was frightened. His first reaction was to link this incident with Wu Jun.
He had already investigated Wu Jun’s background, which was a blank piece of paper. This was the reason why he could remain so calm.
But now, it was obvious that someone was taking revenge for Wu Jung. At this moment, Ma Xiangming made up his mind to apologize to Wu Jun tomorrow.
As for the ¥500,000, that was the last of his concerns right now. He was just wondering if they would be satisfied with the amount.
After all, the other party made him lose, ¥2,000,000!
Ma Xiangming might be a mess, but he wasn't a criminal. So if he ran into someone ruthless, he could only beg for mercy!
“There are surveillance cameras installed in the courtyard. Why don’t we take a look at it?” The guard asked softly. He was naturally responsible for the death of those two mastiffs.
“No need!” Ma Xiangming gnashed his teeth after a brief pondering.
“Why?” The guard was shocked.
“I’m sure it’s destroyed by now. Since you can do something like this, how will they not know about the surveillance cameras?” Ma Xiangming smiled bitterly
Knowing that there was a surveillance camera by the corner, the guard went over to take a look. He immediately took in a cole breath because it was destroyed like Ma Xiangming had guessed!
