Chapter 525: Chapter 525 The Young Master Said, Do Not Call the Police

Qiao Xi slowly shifted her gaze away from Xiang Mingzhu’s retreating figure.

She softly asked, "Old Chen, has the police been informed?"

Old Chen moved his limbs and walked to Qiao Xi’s side, saying, "Young Madam, are you referring to Li Songwen?"

"Um."

Qiao Xi nodded, "The burn on my arm is definitely no accident, no matter how good his acting is. Actions always leave traces, like whether he has taken benefits from the Xiang Family and Lu Family, or if there’s evidence of meetings."

She must call the police.

It would be better if the police could find any clues.

Given the unusual closeness between Li Songwen and Xiang Mingzhu, maybe it would cause Xiang Mingzhu some trouble.

Old Chen glanced at her, scratching his head and appeared to be in a dilemma, "Young Master said not to call the police."

That’s why they didn’t inform the police immediately. Otherwise, Li Songwen would have been taken to the police station for investigation by now.

Qiao Xi looked puzzledly at Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou held her left hand, "Let’s go home and talk. The drama here has ended, and I’ll take you to the hospital to treat your wound."

Qiao Xi believed Huo Xingzhou had his reasons for not calling the police.

"Let’s handle it at home, I know the best way to treat a burn. You can just help me handle it later."

"Okay."

Huo Xingzhou gently escorted her away, with Sun Weimeng and Old Chen following behind.

The audience in the venue also began to leave.

Among them were many people of unclear allegiances, the media having gotten their satisfying scoop had already begun drafting their first-hand news reports.

...

Outside the front door of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Lu Family’s father and daughter followed Huang Bingyi, flattering and probing on one side, yet completely unaware of what had transpired inside the clinic.

"Mr. Huang, Yingxue wants to apologize to you again. I really didn’t expect the Golden Needle..."

Huang Bingyi waved his hand, "No need to apologize, having an oversight is normal."

Lu Bannong walked beside him saying, "You said earlier that Yingxue’s Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique is still not proficient. This child has also worked hard for many years. Could you, as a senior, give her some guidance on what the problem might be?"

He wanted to use this opportunity to make Lu Yingxue become Huang Bingyi’s disciple.

Lu Bannong smiled amiably, his eyes shifting as he suggested, "You haven’t found a residence in the Imperial Capital yet, have you? Why not stay at the Lu Family?"

Huang Bingyi stopped walking and turned to face the father and daughter, "I, Huang Bingyi, do not offer guidance lightly. If I can’t find a suitable successor for the Gold Needle Technique, I’d rather it be lost to history. I have a place to stay, no need for your concern."

Lu Yingxue bit her lip and asked, "What are the conditions to become your disciple, Mr. Huang? I have always admired you and would love to be your disciple. Whatever you ask, I will strive to accomplish."

She could not contain her impatience!

She considered herself talented and diligent.

Over the years, she had made a name for herself in the Chinese Medicine Community, earning both reputation and skill!

She couldn’t think of a better candidate than herself!

Huang Bingyi glanced at her, "You are indeed not bad, but who said I am looking to take on a disciple right now?"

"Then you..."

"Yingxue."

Lu Bannong interrupted Lu Yingxue, politely addressing Huang Bingyi, "Mr. Huang, Yingxue is just anxious. But she has a heart keen on relieving the world of suffering. She always wants to learn more to heal the sick and save lives. You also look tired today, perhaps I should arrange transportation for you..."

"No need."

Huang Bingyi’s expression was stern, "My ride is here."

A black Maybach stopped in front of them, the driver respectfully opened the door, "Mr. Huang, please get in."

"Thank you."

Huang Bingyi got directly into the car.

He did not even exchange any unnecessary words with the father and daughter.

The car quickly drove away.

Lu Yingxue couldn’t hide the resentment in her eyes: "This is the Zhong Family’s car. Huang Bingyi and the old man are close friends, he must be staying with the Zhong Family. No wonder he looks down on our Lu Family. He said I was good, so why hasn’t he offered to take me as his disciple! Is it because we haven’t given enough benefits?"

"Yingxue, mind your image in public."

Lu Bannong warned softly.

Lu Yingxue took a deep breath: "Yes, Father."

Lu Bannong wanted to say more, but his phone vibrated. He answered the call, and his face changed instantly.

"What?"

"Tell them to get to the Lu Family immediately! I’ll be there soon!"

Lu Bannong, usually unflappable even if Mount Tai were to crumble, could not conceal his furious emotions.

Before he could finish the call, his phone alerted him of another call.

Lu Bannong was so agitated that his chest heaved as he listened to the report from the other end, finally muttering through clenched teeth, "I know."

"Father, what happened?"

Lu Yingxue asked tentatively.

She rarely saw her father this angry; something terrible must have happened.

"Let’s talk at home, I have quite a few things to ask you!"

Lu Bannong’s gaze at her turned much colder.

...

An hour later.

In the Banshan Qiushui Villa Area of the Imperial Capital.

Lu Family.

Storm brewing.

Tension in the air.

Xiang Mingzhu and Xiang Ze were standing in the living room, slightly nervous and extremely unsettled. The sound of a car followed by hurried footsteps outside felt as if trampling on their hearts.

Very soon.

Lu Bannong’s face, adorned with an elegant beard, came into view, and he slapped Xiang Ze’s cheek hard with his hand.

Xiang Ze staggered from the slap, his ears ringing, temporarily unable to hear any outside noise.

"Worthless!"

Lu Bannong shed his guise of benevolence, revealing sharp fangs.

"In just a short time I’m not watching, you’ve caused such a scandal! The Young Master of the Xiang Family naked and running around the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic; is this an insult to the Xiang Family or to Chinese medicine? Xiang Ze, I thought you were the smartest of the Xiang brothers, but it turns out you’re just a good-for-nothing!"

"Uncle..."

Xiang Ze, his face flushed with embarrassment, was almost on the verge of tears.

"Is running around naked something to be proud of? I just received a call that your father was so enraged he got high blood pressure and was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance! A few more incidents like this, and he’ll be off to meet King Yan!"

Lu Bannong couldn’t help but slap him again: "We’ve strived to maintain our good reputation not for you to ruin it! With this crucial timing, the Xiang Family’s stock price is diving again, and your scandal is being broadcast everywhere!"

"How could this happen... I immediately started paying money to suppress the news as soon as it ended, they assured me they wouldn’t spread the photos and videos!"

"You think spending money will stop Huo Xingzhou from spending money? Once they seize an opportunity, they naturally won’t let go! There was already something fishy about the Xiang Family’s stocks, with wolves surrounding us here in the Imperial Capital, everyone wants to pull down the Xiang Family!"

Lackluster descendants each causing trouble at the crucial moment.

Xiang Ze covered his face, utterly disheartened, tears streaming down.

The stock price plummeted, his father became furious and fell ill, and his naked sprint scandal had not been suppressed.

Lu Bannong snorted coldly, turning to Xiang Mingzhu: "And you!"

Xiang Mingzhu, terrified, turned pale: "Uncle..."

"Mingzhu, haven’t I been good enough to you? Tell me, what other secrets are you keeping from me? I’m offering you a chance to come clean."

Xiang Mingzhu felt overwhelmed by his imposing presence, her eyes darting around in fear.

Was it possible that her uncle found out about her and Young Master Zhong?
