Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Mystery at the Birthday Banquet 2_1

Everyone instantly moved aside, paving the way for Xiao Jiuchong, allowing him a clear path to approach Ruan Congjun and the others.

Seeing the ashen face of Elder Ruan lying on the ground, Xiao Jiuchong’s thick eyebrows also knitted together.

He squatted down and extended two fingers to check Elder Ruan’s carotid pulse, finding it was still faintly beating, which eased his mind somewhat.

He then turned to Ruan Qingguo and directly asked, "Director Ruan, Elder Ruan still has a pulse. Have you called for an ambulance?"

Ruan Qingguo, despite being a bureau-level official, did not dare to slight Xiao Jiuchong in the least.

Hearing Xiao Jiuchong’s question, Ruan Qingguo hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, we’ve called."

Xiao Jiuchong slowly stood up and then said to Elder Ruan’s wife and Ruan Qingguo, "I happen to know a Divine Doctor, and she’s also here dining. However, I’m not sure if she would be willing to help. Shall I invite her over?"

Elder Ruan’s wife’s gaze flickered, and she asked in a serious tone, "May I ask which Divine Doctor Mr. Xiao is referring to?"

Xiao Jiuchong replied indifferently, "I wonder if Madam has ever heard of Shen Tianxing, the Divine Doctor who cured Young Master Dugu and General Li?"

Upon hearing Xiao Jiuchong’s introduction, a flicker of joy instantly passed over the faces of Elder Ruan’s wife and Ruan Qingguo.

Showing astonishment, Elder Ruan’s wife exclaimed, "So it’s the renowned Divine Doctor Shen! Mr. Xiao, if you would please do us the favor of inviting Doctor Shen over!"

Ruan Qingguo also bowed deeply to Xiao Jiuchong with great politeness, "We would be most grateful if Mr. Xiao could assist us!"

Xiao Jiuchong nodded, "Alright, I will go invite her, but I can’t guarantee she will agree to help."

"Please do your utmost to persuade Doctor Shen on our behalf!"

After saying this, Elder Ruan’s wife made a promise, "As long as Doctor Shen can save our Elder Ruan, whatever conditions she places, we will satisfy them."

Xiao Jiuchong nodded and said, "Got it."

People nowadays like to seek auspiciousness, to dine and discuss matters in a place of good fortune.

He didn’t want a fatality occurring on his premises, which would be an ill omen.

If someone were to die here, who would dare to dine or relax at his club in the future?

Even if his club were top-notch, there would be a shadow in people’s hearts, fearing some unfortunate event might occur.

This was not the outcome Xiao Jiuchong wanted to see.

Therefore, whether for the public’s good or for personal reasons, he would certainly request Shen Tianxing’s help for Elder Ruan’s illness.

Under the watchful, hopeful eyes of the crowd, they at last saw Xiao Jiuchong leading a man and a woman towards them.

The man was exceptionally handsome, with a grace that surpassed the world.

The woman, despite her young age and slight immaturity, had a face of exquisite beauty exuding the supreme grace of a heart-stopping beauty.

Walking side by side, the two seemed like a pair of perfect figurines crafted by the heavens themselves, so pleasing to the eye that one couldn’t look away.

As everyone present clearly recognized that the newcomers were none other than the President’s son Dugu Zixi and his fiancée Shen Tianxing, many people finally realized.

So the legendary and renowned Divine Doctor Shen was none other than the fiancée of the President’s son, Dugu Zixi—Shen Tianxing!

Don’t blame the people present for not knowing Shen Tianxing’s true identity, as many are probably aware of one of her identities but not the other.

After all, only the inner circle of the Imperial Compound knew that she was both the Divine Doctor and the unmarried wife of Dugu Zixi.

The Ruan Family was positioned just above the second-tier circle, closely touching the edge of the top tier. Although the Ruan Family had heard of the great reputation of Shen, the Divine Doctor, they had never connected her to Shen Tianxing, Dugu Zixi’s fiancée.

And as for the relatives, friends, and colleagues of the Ruan Family, most of whom were of even lower status than the Ruan Family, it was even less likely they would know Shen Tianxing’s true identity.

Why hadn’t the people of the Imperial Compound exposed Shen Tianxing’s dual identity?

It was naturally because they all had covertly received warnings from the Dugu Family.

Being sharp, the people of the Imperial Compound, in order to gain the favor and support of the Divine Doctor in the future, naturally kept their mouths shut, withholding Shen Tianxing’s acclaim.

Thus, outside of a legend about a Divine Doctor who had healed Dugu Zixi and General Li, Shen Tianxing’s true identity remained unknown.

However, with so many people here today, if Shen Tianxing truly cured Old Master Ruan, her dual identity might not remain a secret any longer. Fortunately, Tianxing didn’t care about that anymore.

Upon seeing the son of the president, Dugu Zixi, and his fiancée Shen Tianxing arriving in person, Lady Ruan and Ruan Qingguo, among others, hurriedly welcomed them.

Lady Ruan looked excitedly at Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing and said, "Thank you, Young Master Dugu and the Divine Doctor, for gracing us with your presence. Thank you, really."

Ruan Congjun also rushed to Dugu Zixi’s side and excitedly called out, "Big brother..."

Dugu Zixi waved his hand at him and pointed at Shen Tianxing, signaling him to stop talking.

Ruan Congjun immediately understood, bowed his head, and stood by Dugu Zixi’s side, ready to take orders at any moment.

Shen Tianxing also smiled at Lady Ruan and said, "Lady Ruan, you are too kind. Let me check on the old master first!"

Lady Ruan gratefully said, "Divine Doctor Shen, I’ll be in your debt."

Shen Tianxing crouched down and took Old Master Ruan’s pulse while activating her Heavenly Eye, scanning his entire body.

The moment she opened her Heavenly Eye, Shen Tianxing saw the thick death energy emanating from the clear, green jade pendant that Old Master Ruan was clutching tightly in his hand.

This death energy was still relentlessly burrowing into Old Master Ruan’s body.

The death energy from the jade pendant was extremely domineering.

Shen Tianxing was certain that it originated from an ancient tomb that was thousands of years old.

Moreover, the owner of this jade pendant must have been wronged in death!

Otherwise, its death energy wouldn’t have been so intense, so domineering, instantly claiming lives.

If Shen Tianxing had arrived just half an hour later, Old Master Ruan would have been tightly bound by this domineering death energy, which would have swallowed up all his vitality, and he would have been beyond salvation.

Shen Tianxing immediately deployed her Spiritual Power to wrap around the jade pendant emitting the death energy and took it from Old Master Ruan’s hands.

She handed the jade pendant to Dugu Zixi and whispered to him through Divine Sense Transmission Sound, "Zixi, Ruan Congjun gave this jade pendant to Old Master Ruan. This matter seems complicated. Ruan Congjun had no intention of harming Old Master Ruan, but I wonder who the hidden adversary behind this is?"

Dugu Zixi snorted coldly and replied with Divine Sense Transmission Sound, "Let’s pretend we don’t know about this. I’ll first eliminate the death energy inside the pendant, then return the purified jade piece to Old Master Ruan! As for that hidden adversary, heh..."
