Super War God in the City

Chapter 177: Don't Expect to Let Things Rest



"This flight will soon reach its destination..." came the warm reminder from the cabin announcement.

By now, Ling Fan had learned from Shangguan Yue about some symptoms characteristic of her mother's illness.

Her mother had suddenly fallen into a coma six months ago, and despite visiting all the major well-known hospitals, no cause was found. Later, they heard that the Martial Arts World had divine skills that could treat such complicated and undiagnosed diseases!

So, Shangguan Yue went everywhere to visit martial artists, and although she referred some through friends and the Martial Association relations, most were clueless about treating diseases.

At that point, she realized that martial artists were not immortals, and not every martial artist possessed the skill to heal people. However, she would make every effort to try if she was fortunate enough to encounter a martial artist like Ling Fan.

"Your mother must have been poisoned with a special type of slow-acting neurotoxin from the Martial Arts World. If left untreated for a long while, it could cause lasting effects," Ling Fan thought aloud.

"Have you offended anyone? This kind of poison generally shouldn't be found in ordinary people unless someone intentionally poisoned her.

This poison won't kill immediately; it seems the perpetrator did not want to take a life but wanted to threaten, to gain something from you. Hasn't anyone made any demands from you all this while?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue's face turned pale, connecting countless clues in her mind that gradually formed a clear web.

"Could it be..." Shangguan Yue murmured in disbelief.

Seeing this, Ling Fan raised an eyebrow, "What, any leads?"

Shangguan Yue took a deep breath and said anxiously in a low voice, "I... I'm not sure. I'm a popular star at Huayi, with many privileges that allow me to ignore some unspoken rules.

However, Prince Tang Tiancheng from Huayi has always harassed me, but I have always evaded him. If it weren't for my popularity and the fear of creating a bad influence, I might have already faced dire consequences!

About six months ago, after my mother suddenly fell into a coma, he spread word that he had a cure, but I didn't want to get involved with him. I kept looking for well-known doctors to no avail, could it have been him..."

Shangguan Yue's heart chilled, afraid to continue thinking, terrified by the lengths Tang Tiancheng would go to corner her into compliance with such despicable methods.

"Well, isn't it obvious? Just sleep with him once, and your mother's illness will be cured!" Ling Fan sighed inwardly and joked.

As the saying goes, beautiful women are doomed; it's perfectly true. This woman is too beautiful and famous, with no power backing her; her end is inevitably tragic.

"You..." Shangguan Yue choked, struggling to speak.

Deep down, she had her suspicions but was always afraid to think about it. Coming to Binzhou this time, she was prepared for the worst, planning to ask Tang Tiancheng for help. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

She was prepared for whatever demands he might make, but still harbored a slight hope. Now that Ling Fan pointed it out bluntly, it crushed all her hopes and fantasies.

"Can you... really help me?" Shangguan Yue asked, dubious and distraught.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not that sleazy. I won't make you commit yourself like that. I'll contact you later!" Ling Fan reassured her.

"Thank you!" Shangguan Yue's teeth gently tugged at her red lip.

By then, the plane had already landed.

Not far away, Leng Chuan's heart was like a volcano about to erupt. All this while, Ling Fan and Shangguan Yue chatted quietly, whispering like a couple in love, nearly driving him to his wit's end.

After the plane stabilized, Leng Chuan was the first to stand up and leave his seat. Passing by Ling Fan, he paused and said coldly, "Kid, we'll meet again!"

"Damn it, just get lost. Keep babbling and believe it or not, I'll beat you up right now!" Ling Fan was furious. This was simply driving him crazy.

Leng Chuan left with a face ashen with rage.

After leaving the airport, Ling Fan and Shangguan Yue greeted each other, then went their separate ways.

Ling Fan checked the time. By now, Xiao Chubing should have been at the company. He decided to give his wife a surprise and immediately hailed a taxi.

Just as Ling Fan had settled into the taxi, not far away, a fierce glint flashed in Leng Chuan's eyes in the passenger seat of a jeep. He instructed the man next to him, "Keep an eye on him for me, check his identity and background, and report back to me!"

Having said that, he got out of the car and got into another Mercedes, heading straight for Moonlight Coast.

The jeep quietly followed Ling Fan's taxi as well.

Shangguan Yue got into the BMW that had come to pick her up, feeling hesitant. Thinking that since she had come, she might as well visit the Xinghua Banquet, though she still felt somewhat unsure.

After all, her encounter with Ling Fan was a brief one. Whether he was trustworthy or not, she still had no idea. Thus, with a heart full of turmoil, she also headed for Moonlight Coast.

At that moment, in Crown Hall, it was once again time for sisters An Xixue and An Xiyao to take the stage, accompanied by over a dozen backup dancers.

The sisters, in their elaborate costumes, took the stage, and with the start of the music, they danced gracefully, like butterflies in a flowerbed, lively and beautiful!

"Prince, we were delayed a bit earlier, so I expect the effects of the drug to act sooner!" Wang Anxiang reported to Tang Tiancheng.

"Hmm, it doesn't matter. If anything happens later, just act abruptly. I want to see how Tian Yun can remain arrogant!" Tang Tiancheng sneered.

"Don't worry, Prince. Everything is going according to plan!" Wang Anxiang said confidently.

Currently, as the sisters displayed their elegance on stage, they inadvertently furrowed their brows as a strange rumbling noise came from their stomachs.

"Although these sisters made a slight mistake in their singing just now, their flawless dance moves are truly astonishing," someone in the audience exclaimed all of a sudden.

"Heh, I wonder if their dance moves in bed are also so amazing!" someone beside whispered teasingly.

"Cough, cough... Old Wang, your thoughts are somewhat inappropriate!" the previous person coughed dryly, causing all the surrounding men to smile knowingly.

"Who would have thought, these dance moves are quite provocative!" the Dai Sisters said sourly.

Yun Fei sat in the VIP seats, feeling an inexplicable irritability. She had a feeling that something was not right.

After all the effort Hua Yi had put into moving the venue of Xinghua Banquet to Binzhou, was it just for that trivial and ineffective embarrassment earlier?

Li Mengying also felt a bit uneasy, feeling that something was amiss, but couldn't pinpoint the problem, her expression slightly tense as she watched the two performers on the stage.

Wang Jing, sitting at the main table, gently tapped on the desk, silently calculating the time, murmuring to himself, "It should be about time now!"

Several heads of the Martial Association who had been invited were also silently calculating. According to the instructions from Hua Yi, their people should also take action now. The focus was now on the two sisters on stage.

The performance had only got a third of the way through when the sisters turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they clenched their teeth tightly, struggling to suppress something as their pained expressions showed.

Yun Fei and Li Mengying's expressions changed at the same time, and they suddenly stood up.

At that moment, the sisters looked at each other and could no longer hold back. They stopped their dance performance, no longer caring about the impact, and hurriedly left the stage while clutching their stomachs.

If they didn't leave the stage now, what followed would not be simply embarrassing.

The departure of the sisters instantly left the backup dancers standing confused on the stage, and the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. If the previous interruption was due to a mistake, then what was this mid-performance exit all about?

Before Tian Yun could react, Wang Jing fiercely rushed onto the stage and pointed at Yun Fei, shouting loudly, "What is the meaning of this, Tian Yun? You accused us of foul play earlier, and now with the actors running off the stage in the middle of their performance, is that our doing too?

I think you from Tian Yun came here today itching for a fight, looking for trouble. If you don't give a satisfactory explanation today, don't think this will end well!"
