Chapter 150: Preparatory Meeting

Although Qin Xue'er's condition was not too bad, Xue Gui happened to be in Jianghai City at this time, so he was asked to come over together to repair the scars on her face.

Xue Gui's efficiency was remarkably high. From the moment of the phone call to his appearance at the hospital, only half an hour had passed.

"King Xiao, I came in rather a hurry this time, and some things are not yet fully prepared."

Xue Gui specifically requested hospital equipment from Xiao Ye to brew traditional Chinese medicine.

The medicine he brewed this time gave off an extremely exotic fragrance that instantly refreshed anyone who smelled it.

Aside from these, however, Xue Gui had also prepared a specialized topical preparation to be applied directly to the face.

"How does this time feel even more severe than the last?" Xiao Ye looked at Xue Gui and asked suspiciously.

"King Xiao, you might not know this, but I spent a long time researching and formulating this ointment. What I gave you last time was merely the threshold for scar repair."

Xiao Ye nodded as if he understood, though he was secretly in awe, and then led Xue Gui into Qin Xue'er's hospital room.

At that moment, Qin Xue'er was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Xue Gui to appear.

Seeing the two men walk in, a wave of nervousness fluttered in her heart.

Given how long she had lived with these scars, she had no idea whether they could actually be repaired.

She drank the medicine handed to her by Xue Gui, and immediately afterward, he instructed Xiao Ye to take the external medicinal potion and apply it to Qin Xue'er's face.

"Just like this. In about twenty minutes, the scars on her face should diminish significantly."

Following Xue Gui's instructions, the two waited for roughly twenty minutes. Sure enough, Qin Xue'er's skin looked much better than before!

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Qin Xue'er laughed through her tears, deeply emotional.

Xiao Ye nodded joyfully. Seeing Qin Xue'er looking equally delighted, his own mood relaxed considerably.

That being said, Xue Gui mentioned that there were subsequent treatments to follow, which would last for about another week.

"There's no rush. As long as it works, we are willing to wait!"

...

Meanwhile, inside a house in the Jiangnan District.

Jiang Zhongtao frowned deeply as he looked at the fax in his hands.

It was a request from the Cheng family regarding the upcoming joint family meeting.

He could read every single word, but when strung together, they left him thoroughly confused.

"What on earth does this fax from the Cheng family mean?"

Jiang Zhongtao tried to guess, but the Cheng family's actions this time were truly beyond his comprehension!

Back then, when he had come to the Jiangnan District all alone, it was the Cheng family that took him in.

Moreover, judging by their past intentions, they seemed to harbor the goal of moving against Xiao Ye.

Yet, why would they call him to attend this family meeting?

Jiang Zhongtao could not quite make up his mind. After all, he was currently a lone wolf, and he needed to exercise utmost caution in everything he did!

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, speaking to the person on the other end:

"Help me tell Mr. Cheng that I am feeling a bit under the weather, so I won't be able to attend this meeting."

...

Inside the study at the Cheng family manor.

Upon learning that Cheng Jiangshan had issued a meeting request, Ye Cheng felt a lingering sense of unease.

Burning with anxiety, he rushed over to ask Cheng Jiangshan for clarification.

"Old Cheng, do you really think now is the right time to hold a meeting?"

Ye Cheng's tone was hesitant, clearly showing that he had no idea what the best course of action was.

Glancing sideways at the frantic Ye Cheng, Cheng Jiangshan sat down leisurely and pointed to the chair behind Ye Cheng.

"No need to rush. Sit down and let's talk."

Watching Ye Cheng take a seat, Cheng Jiangshan continued:

"The Cheng family cannot afford to wait any longer. Our recent plans have failed one after another. If we don't take effective measures now, won't we become the laughingstock of the entire Jiangnan District?"

Looking at Cheng Jiangshan, Ye Cheng seemed to grasp his intentions at last.

"I understand the situation, but this time around, do you have absolute confidence in your plan?"

"Naturally. This time, not only have I left myself a contingency plan, but I've also enlisted the participation of other forces. It's safe to say this is foolproof!"

Cheng Jiangshan said with a look of absolute confidence and assurance toward Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng remained silent for a long time, then spoke again with a complex expression.

"Since that's the case, let's just hope your judgment is right this time."

...

Inside Xiao Ye's villa in Jianghai City.

Xiao Ye was just about to go to sleep when he suddenly received a call from Chilong.

"King Xiao, the Cheng family appears to be holding something resembling a family meeting. Should we intervene?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye looked quite surprised.

"The Cheng family? They really know how to pull off fancy tricks."

"It's indeed very strange, which is why I came to ask for King Xiao's opinion!"

"Forget it. I don't have the energy to bother with their affairs right now. There are still plenty of things to handle in Jianghai City. Just remember to keep me updated!"

...

Inside the Cheng family manor in the Jiangnan District.

Cheng Jiangshan sat at his desk, looking at the furious head of the Chen family standing before him.

"Have you lost your mind? A family meeting hasn't been called in all these years, and you just decide to hold one on a whim?"

Lin Shan asked with a gloomy expression and a harsh tone.

However, Cheng Jiangshan's expression remained completely calm and collected. Seeing that the man had finished his outburst, he continued:

"I recall that this Xiao Ye also has a blood feud with the Chen family. Surely you don't intend to just let it go like this?"

"Xiao Ye?"

Hearing that name, the expression of the Chen family head grew even gloomier.

"Could it be that the main purpose of your meeting this time is aimed at Xiao Ye?"

"You're not entirely foolish. This Xiao Ye's momentum is fierce; sooner or later, he will affect everyone in the Jiangnan District. Since that's the case, we should all the more strike first to gain the upper hand!"

Cheng Jiangshan smiled and waved his hand.

The expression of the Chen family head quickly turned solemn.

After deep thought, he finally spoke up.

"Fine. I'm not fundamentally opposed to you holding this meeting, but you must agree to one condition!"

"Brother Chen, please go ahead!"

First, his son had been wronged and beaten up severely!

Then, his family's business enterprises had suffered a blow, and the mastermind behind it all seemed to be this very same Xiao Ye!

"Once Xiao Ye is captured, he must be handed over to me for disposal!"

Hearing this, Cheng Jiangshan visibly paused for a moment before speaking with a smile.

"Brother Chen, anything else is fine, but this cannot be!"

"Why?"

"If we can truly bring Xiao Ye under control, it must be judged jointly by all of our families!"

Hearing Cheng Jiangshan put it this way, the Chen family head nodded and then extended his hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

...

The next morning, at the Cheng family corporation.

The Cheng, Chen, and Ye families gathered together under one roof. However, the presence of the Scorpion among them at this moment was something the others had not anticipated.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

The Chen family head swept his gaze across the room and spoke.

"No rush. There are still two people who haven't arrived yet!"

A smile played on Cheng Jiangshan's face as he addressed the people before him.
