Tonight, the Tang Family estate was abuzz with excitement!
The entire place was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and an endless stream of luxury cars flowed through the entrance!
Because today was the day of Miss Tang's engagement party!
But there was more to it than that!
This young lady of the Tang Family was exceedingly mysterious. She never made public appearances, let alone attended banquets or social gatherings!
Even among the upper echelons of Jiang City, those who had seen her true face were as rare as a phoenix's feather.
However!
Every single person who had laid eyes on Miss Tang was left breathless by her beauty!
She was even hailed as—the number one beauty of Jiang City!
"Sigh! That Divine Physician Lin is so lucky, getting engaged to the number one beauty of Jiang City! Tsk, tsk... It's enough to make anyone jealous!"
Gao Jianxiang smacked his lips, his face full of envy as he spoke.
And beside him!
The upper echelons of the Zhao Family and the Sun Family were all present!
In addition to them!
Madam Ye, Ye Qing, and the rest of the Ye Family were also there!
Whether it was the Zhao and Sun families from the Four Great Clans, or Madam Ye and her kin, all of them had come bearing numerous bags, large and small, filled with precious engagement gifts!
And at this moment!
Hearing Gao Jianxiang's praise, Divine Physician Su, who stood nearby, couldn't help but speak up.
"Hmph! You've clearly never witnessed the skills of my master, Divine Physician Lin!"
"With just a few words of guidance, he helped me comprehend the Life-taking Nine Needles!"
"My master's true medical prowess has reached a terrifying level, absolutely unprecedented in history!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
That single sentence from Divine Physician Su left the members of the Zhao, Sun, and Ye families utterly aghast!
They couldn't possibly imagine!
Just how profound must that Divine Physician Lin's medical skills be to earn such reverence from the great number one divine physician of Jiang City!
"Divine Physician Su, in that case, I must trouble your esteemed master with my illness!"
Madam Ye looked at Divine Physician Su, her face a mask of sycophantic flattery.
She never would have imagined that Lin Han's words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Her condition was now growing more severe, and she feared she only had a few days left to live.
Now!
Her only hope was that mysterious Divine Physician Lin!
"Divine Physician Su, my son's broken bones... we will have to trouble Divine Physician Lin for that as well!" Zhao Xiong chimed in hastily.
Hearing this, Divine Physician Su nodded.
"Rest assured, as long as my master is willing to act, both Madam Ye and Young Master Tianming will make a full recovery!"
After speaking, Divine Physician Su turned to Zhang Lingfeng beside him and said,
"Lingfeng, you see to our guests!"
"I'm going to see if your grandmaster has returned!"
With that!
Divine Physician Su walked straight into the Tang Family's main courtyard!
Only after Divine Physician Su had left!
Did Zhao Tianming, sitting in his wheelchair and wrapped up like a mummy, finally speak, his face twisted with venomous hatred.
"Dad! I want to kill that stray dog Lin Han!"
"I'll give him death by a thousand cuts!!!"
Lin Han!
Hearing this name, murderous intent flared in the eyes of the Zhao Family Patriarch, Zhao Xiong!
Beside him, the Sun Family Patriarch, Sun Kui, let out a cold laugh and said,
"Tianming, don't be so hasty!"
"As long as we have a lead on that little bastard, it won't just be your Zhao Family. My Sun Family and the Huang Family will also tear him to shreds!"
Lin Han was a remnant of the Lin Family!
And The Three Great Clans of Zhao, Sun, and Huang had risen to power by trampling over the corpses of the Lin Clan!
Between them, there could be no peace until one side was annihilated!!!
But just as the Sun Family Patriarch's words fell!
TAP, TAP, TAP!
The sound of footsteps suddenly rang out!
Everyone saw a slender figure slowly walking toward the Tang Family's main courtyard!
"Lin... Lin Han!!!"
At that moment, Su Mu'er could hardly believe her eyes!
It wasn't just her!
Ye Qing, Gao Jianxiang, and the others nearby all looked as if they had just seen a ghost!
They never would have dreamed that Lin Han, while being hunted by the Zhao Family, would still dare to show his face so brazenly!
"You little bastard! Stop right there!!!"
Zhao Xiong roared and instantly led the crowd to surround him!
Hm?
Lin Han frowned and turned to look at them.
When he saw Zhao Xiong, Sun Kui, and the other high-ranking members of the two great clans, a cold, sinister glint flickered in his eyes.
"It's you?"
"You little bastard, you severely injured my son and offended the Zhao Family! How dare you show your face here? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Zhao Xiong stared daggers at Lin Han, wishing he could subject him to death by a thousand cuts!
However!
Death?
A cold smirk appeared on Lin Han's face.
"I'm afraid you'll be the ones who die!"
With that said!
He didn't bother to spare Zhao Xiong and the others another glance, swaggering straight into the Tang Family's main courtyard!
GASPS!
'He's insane!'
'This kid is absolutely insane!'
'Just two days ago, he injured Old Master Tang and was being hunted by the Tang Family!'
'Then he severely injured Zhao Tianming and was being hunted by the Zhao Family!'
'But instead of hiding, he comes to the Tang Family estate? Isn't he just asking to be killed?'
"Dad! Quickly, call all of our Zhao Family experts! Kill this stray dog right here, right now!" Zhao Tianming seethed through gritted teeth.
But beside him!
The Sun Family Patriarch, Sun Kui, held up a hand.
"Tianming, don't be reckless! Today is Divine Physician Lin's big day. And that great personage, Mr. Lin, will also be coming!"
"If we offend them, there will be serious trouble!"
'That's right!'
Zhao Xiong nodded, his brows tightly furrowed.
But Sun Kui just gave a sinister smile.
"However, we can deal with him through official channels!"
Hm?
The members of the Zhao Family looked up, their spirits lifted.
"Don't forget, the Patrol Office is filled with my Sun Family's people!"
"I'll call my son, Yifei, right now and have him come and arrest that brat! Once he's in the Patrol Office, well... he'll be a dead man walking!"
His words sent a thrill of excitement through everyone present!
「...」
「Meanwhile!」
In a back hall of the Tang estate!
Xian'er had completely recovered!
Today, she wore a snow-white long dress and light makeup, making her look like a celestial fairy descended to the mortal realm, a beauty beyond compare.
At this moment, however, Xian'er's lovely face was etched with anxiety.
Beside her, a middle-aged man was speaking animatedly, trying to persuade her.
"Xian'er, you need to think this through! You can't just foolishly marry some stray dog!"
This middle-aged man was the eldest master of the Tang Family—Tang Ren!
He had just returned and immediately heard the news of Xian'er's engagement!
The news almost made Tang Ren's lungs explode with rage!
In his eyes, both Xian'er's status and her beauty were assets for the Tang Family to use for a marriage alliance!
If she married into a prominent family from the provincial capital, the Tang Family's business could expand there and soar to new heights!
Then!
Tang Ren pointed to a handsome young man behind him and said to Xian'er,
"Xian'er, this is Young Master Kong from the provincial capital! The Kong Family is a first-rate family there!"
"If you were to be with Young Master Kong, wouldn't that be a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than being with that stray dog named Lin Han?"
Hearing this!
Young Master Kong's spirits lifted. He quickly stepped forward and said to Xian'er,
"Miss Xian'er, I, Kong Jie, have long admired your renowned beauty. Seeing you today, I've fallen for you completely!"
"As long as Miss Xian'er agrees to break off the engagement and be with me, I promise you a future of wealth and prestige, and I will make you the happiest woman in the world!"
Kong Jie's gaze on Xian'er was scorching hot!
It was the first time he had ever seen such a stunning woman!
Compared to Xian'er, those socialites and beauties from the provincial capital were just a pile of trash, unbearably vulgar!
However!
"I will only marry my Brother Xiao Linzi!"
Xian'er's tone was firm and allowed no room for doubt!
And that one sentence made the eldest Tang master completely lose it!
"Hmph! Xian'er, stop your wishful thinking! That Lin boy won't dare come to the engagement!"
"The Zhao Family has a city-wide bounty on him right now: one million for a lead, ten million for killing Lin Han! Do you think he'd dare come here just to die?"
As soon as he said that!
A tremor ran through Xian'er's delicate body.
'That's right!'
'Brother Xiao Linzi's situation is extremely dangerous right now.'
'It's not just the Zhao Family. I'm afraid the Sun and Huang families also want him dead more than anything.'
'Will he... really dare to come?'
"He said he would come, so he will definitely come!" Xian'er's slender hands clenched into tight fists.
Hearing this!
The expressions on Tang Ren's and Kong Jie's faces turned so dark they looked like they could drip water.
Just as the two were about to continue their persuasion!
TAP!
A single footstep sounded.
"Xian'er, I'm here."
As the words echoed, Lin Han walked in!
"Brother Xiao Linzi!" Xian'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and a smile blossomed on her lovely face!
Like a happy little bird, she flew into Lin Han's arms!
'She knew it!'
'Her Brother Xiao Linzi always keeps his word!'
'He really would come to get engaged to her!'
DRIP!
DRIP!
Tears of joy trickled from Xian'er's beautiful eyes, falling one after another. She was moved beyond words.
"Silly girl, today is the most wonderful day of my life!"
"How could I possibly miss it!"
Then,
Lin Han planted a kiss on Xian'er's forehead.
Seeing this scene!
Tang Ren's and Kong Jie's faces turned ashen!
"So you're Lin Han? Kid, I advise you to leave Xian'er. You're not worthy of her!"
Tang Ren glared at Lin Han, his eyes practically shooting flames!
As for Kong Jie, his eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred as he looked at Lin Han.
He simply couldn't accept that the goddess he adored would be with a nobody like this!
"Lin Han, as long as you agree to break off the engagement, I, Kong Jie, promise to give you ten million!"
"And I'll make the Zhao Family call off their hunt for you! How about it?"
Hm?
At this, Lin Han's eyes shifted to look at Kong Jie.
"Impotence."
"Gonorrhea."
"And genital warts."
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. You should be more concerned about yourself!"
Wh... What!!!
When he heard Lin Han's words, Kong Jie looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his expression one of utter disbelief, as if he'd seen a ghost!
'How... how could he know?'
Kong Jie led an extremely promiscuous private life, and besides his personal doctor, absolutely no one knew about these conditions!
'So how could Lin Han tell with just a single glance!'
"You... you!!!"
In an instant, Kong Jie's face went from pale to red, from red to purple, and finally, it turned completely black!
But Lin Han couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
"The engagement ceremony is about to start!"
"Let's go."
Saying this, Lin Han put his arm around Xian'er and walked outside.
「...」
Back in the Tang Family's banquet hall!
It was packed to the brim with guests!
Every single one of them was either rich or noble, the crème de la crème of Jiang City's high society.
They were all murmuring amongst themselves, eagerly anticipating the appearance of Jiang City's number one beauty and the legendary Divine Physician Lin!
"I'm so excited! Divine Physician Lin is finally about to come out! The gift our Ye Family prepared should be enough to satisfy him!"
Ye Qing's pretty face was flushed with excitement.
Beside her, Su Mu'er and Zhao Tianming felt the same way!
They were dying to know what the almost mythical Divine Physician Lin actually looked like!
It wasn't just them!
At this moment, even Zhao Xiong and Sun Kui were beside themselves with excitement!
They had just received news!
Mr. Lin had arrived!
Even the three titans—the City Chief, the Marshal of the Guard Army, and the President of the Wealth God Association—were on their way with their entourages to offer their congratulations!
"As expected, that Mr. Lin's status is terrifying! Even the three titans have to follow his lead!"
"Yes! We have to latch onto Mr. Lin's coattails this time! Our three great clans will definitely soar to new heights!"
The two patriarchs were ecstatic!
And just then!
"Honored guests, and now, please welcome today's happy couple!!!"
With the emcee's announcement!
The hall erupted!
The guests broke into enthusiastic cheers!
All eyes were fixed on the entrance to the hall!
And then, under the watchful eyes of thousands!
TAP!
TAP!
TAP!
A young man and woman stepped into view!
The young man was slender, with a handsome and refined face.
The woman, dressed in white like a fairy, was breathtakingly beautiful!
But!
When they got a clear look at the couple's faces!
The looks of anticipation and the smiles on the faces of the Ye, Zhao, and Sun families suddenly froze!
One by one, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads!!!
