Xinxin worried if Summer would no longer like her once he got what he wanted from Leng Bingbing"Sun Xinxin, when did you become so infatuated" Sun Xinxin secretly despised herself in her heart. She us...Chapter 1157: I Will Have My Chance

The figure of Xia Tian involuntarily appeared in Yi Xiaoyin's mind. That haunting nightmare would occasionally resurface even during the daytime, though she desperately wanted to completely erase Xia Tian from her memory, finding it extremely difficult.

It was because no matter what she did now seemed to remind her of Xia Tian; she had finally improved upon the Yin Gate Acupuncture Technique but only with Xia Tian's help. Last night, when she experimented with the new technique on Minister Liu, it proved successful, confirming everything Xia Tian had said previously.

And while she planned to focus on running the hospital in the coming days, the hospital was also something Xia Tian had secured for her, meaning that facing the hospital would often trigger memories of him.

Suddenly, Yi Xiaoyin realized that this rogue named Xia Tian had unknowingly become an integral part of her life; everything seemed to be intertwined with him, from the true energy within her body to her Yin Gate Acupuncture Technique and even her hospital. No matter how much she hated him, she couldn't change this fact.

"Any news on that rogue" Yi Xiaoyin suddenly asked, despite hating him so much, she still had to keep track of his whereabouts.

"The police sealed off all the territories under the Chang family last night, including Chang Donglin and all other members of the Chang family. However, no news has been reported on that rogue's current condition," Jiu replied softly.

"Today is already the third day since that rogue appeared in public after being seriously injured, isn't it" Yi Xiaoyin asked softly after a momentary silence.

"Yes, Miss." Jiu answered gently.

"A person who is severely injured and deserted by everyone, with countless enemies in the capital city, has been unharmed for three days. Don't you think that's quite unusual" Yi Xiaoyin asked slowly.

"Miss, his being deserted might be fake; that bastard was protected by Mei on the first day and by Chu Yao yesterday. Today who knows if there will be other women around him," Jiu said resentfully.

Yi Xiaoyin fell silent for a while before she spoke softly: "Forget it, we won't worry about that bastard anymore. We should focus on managing the hospital and wait until its operations are running smoothly before thinking of ways to deal with him."

"But Miss, that bastard seems to be getting stronger every day; it will definitely become harder to deal with him," Jiu said softly: "If we don’t take this opportunity for revenge while he’s injured, there might never be another chance."

“The future is long. I’ll find my chance sooner or later.” Yi Xiaoyin spoke calmly.

Jiu hesitated to say something but in the end didn’t bring herself to do so.

In a certain villa in the capital city, at the same time...

A man wearing pajamas and glasses sat on the sofa in the living room, reading the newspaper. This man was around thirty years old with a strong scholarly aura; people who didn’t know him well might easily mistake him for a bookworm.

However, those who knew him were aware that he definitely wasn’t a mere bookworm; he was Yuan Shihuang, the eldest son of one of the four major families in the capital city—the Yuan Family.

The newspaper Yuan Shihuang was reading at this moment had been organized and clipped by someone for him. Every day there were many newspapers, some of which were important while others were not. He didn't have time to read everything, so someone would go through the papers first, select important ones, clip them out, and then compile them into a single newspaper.

"Shihuang."

Yuan Shihuang looked up with a rather gentle smile on his face. "Baor, what is it"

The woman called Baor was not old either; she appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She wore silk pajamas that were very thin and emphasized her curvaceous figure. However, although her body was well-proportioned, her face was rather plain—her features were regular but far from beautiful.

"There's some bad news."

Yuan Shihuang's smile immediately vanished because he knew that when Baor said "not good," it usually meant very serious.

"Is Shi Feng causing trouble outside again" Yuan Shihuang asked solemnly.

"No, it’s Shi Cai," Baor shook her head. "Shi Cai has gone missing, and so has the old ancestor."

"What" Yuan Shihuang's face changed dramatically as he abruptly stood up. "Baor, are you sure they're missing What exactly happened"

"I just heard the news too. Apparently, last night Shicai and that old ancestor went to the Chang family place, and they haven't returned since then. They tried to contact Shicai but failed to do so. I also tried; it’s true that we can’t reach them." Bao'er softly said: "They visited the Chang family place, but there was no one there last night because all of the Chang family members were at the police station. So, they probably didn't have anything to do with the Changs. But logically speaking, Xia Tian should have been staying at the Chang place last night."

"Damn it! I’ve repeatedly told them not to go looking for Xia Tian; why don’t they listen" Yuan Shihuang was extremely frustrated and then sat down dejectedly: "This time is bad. That brat Xia Tian must have faked his injury!"

“Shihuang, you shouldn't worry too much. Perhaps they just went somewhere else temporarily and it’s difficult to contact them,” Bao'er softly comforted Yuan Shihuang.

"Bao’er, you know as well as I do that this is impossible," Yuan Shihuang shook his head: "Apart from Xia Tian, no one could make the old ancestor disappear."

With a long sigh, Yuan Shihuang continued to say: "The heavens are really against me. I thought that with the old ancestor’s appearance, our Yuan family would become the top family in Beijing. Who knew… oh well!"

"Shihuang, don’t lose heart; after all, there's still hope. You said that the old ancestor is very powerful. Perhaps he isn't Xia Tian's match, but it doesn't necessarily mean something bad happened to him. He may have escaped for all we know," Bao'er continued to gently comfort Yuan Shihuang.

"I can only hope so," Yuan Shihuang sighed.

“Shihuang, what do you plan on doing next” Bao’er softly asked.

"Keep Shicai's disappearance a secret and pretend nothing happened." Yuan Shihuang thought for a moment: "Tell people not to provoke Xia Tian, but don’t reveal that Xia Tian faked his injury. Since our Yuan family suffered losses, we should at least make other families suffer too; they shouldn't profit from this!"

"Well, I'll go arrange it right away." Bao'er nodded.

At almost the same time, at the Song family residence.

Chu Yao was a bit depressed. She had woken up and come here to find her husband but was stopped by people. Originally, she wanted to cut these people with one slash each, yet it seemed inappropriate. Fortunately, they didn't seem to want to trouble her; they merely wouldn't let her in. Thus, she could only wait for her husband to leave under the surveillance of more than ten people.

"Miss Song sure has quite the entourage. Even when going on a date with her husband, she needs so many bodyguards. It's even bigger than my Miss Chu’s entourage."

Chu Yao inwardly grumbled about Song Yumei; for some reason, she always felt a bit envious of Song Yumei, perhaps because Song Yumei not only looked like a fairy but also had abilities akin to one.

"Hey! What are you lot surrounding my wife for Are you looking for a beating" Just as Chu Yao was feeling depressed, Xia Tian's voice suddenly rang out.

"Husband!" Hearing Xia Tian’s voice, Chu Yao finally felt happy. The people from the Song family also wisely moved aside; they didn’t want to be beaten by Xia Tian.

These people just couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship this bastard Xia Tian had with the Song family.

It was no wonder these people were confused; back then, Ye Yumei regarded Xia Tian as an enemy, but her disciple Ning Jie and Xia Tian’s relationship seemed rather ambiguous. Now, Miss Song, the new owner of the Song family—Song Yumei—had a similarly unclear relationship with this guy. To them, their view of the relation between Xia Tian and the Song family could be described in just one word: chaotic!

"Hey, you continue guarding outside. My wife Meimei won't come out for now. You can leave only after she leaves; got it" At this moment, Xia Tian shouted at everyone from the Song family again before grabbing Chu Yao’s hand and saying, "Meimei, shall we go out for a walk first"

Ignoring how the Song family reacted, Xia Tian pulled Chu Yao away. At first, he walked slowly, but once they left the Song residence, he suddenly picked up Chu Yao and disappeared.

A moment later, they appeared on a bustling street in the capital city.

"Honey, where are we going" Chu Yao couldn't help asking.

"Let me think for a bit." Xia Tian seriously pondered for a while and then realized he had something else to do. "Oh right, let's have breakfast first."

He scanned the area and spotted a restaurant nearby, pulling Chu Yao inside.

Half an hour later, they finally left the restaurant and returned to the bustling street.

"Another boring day of window shopping," Xia Tian muttered to himself. It had already been three days; how many more foolish opponents were still yet to appear

Although several people had appeared during these few days, Xia Tian felt that his real enemies hadn't shown up yet. For example, the guy who often attempted to blow up his wife with bombs in Jianghai City and the person who almost killed his princess wife.

"The blonde wife said that the one in Jianghai might be someone from the Li family who's still alive, while the one trying to kill my princess wife is probably from the CIA. It seems they have nothing to do with those foolish people from the Yuan or Cheng families," Xia Tian muttered inwardly. To permanently eliminate his enemies, he had no choice but to continue pretending to be seriously injured for a few more days. wouldn't not know this, right""Oh, I won't have two wives," Xia Tian didn't bother to argue this time; how could he possibly only have two wives At the very least, he would find twenty."Mommy, Uncle...
