My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 576 Can’t Help But Get Bullied!

"No matter what I do, you’re still my Brother Tao. That’s enough, don’t stand on ceremony. Get a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow morning you can go see Tongtong and give her a surprise," Yang Qi said with a smile. He still preferred the nickname from their college days. No matter what he had become, his benefactor would always be his benefactor.

"I can’t wait to see the two of them," Lin Tao said, his voice thick with emotion. "This all feels like a dream, so unreal."

"If you go now, you’ll only disturb their rest. You should just get some sleep," Yang Qi advised.

Lin Tao finally relented and went to the room Yang Qi had arranged for him to sleep in. The Baishan Manor was vast, and every room was on par with a seven-star hotel, making his accommodations extremely comfortable.

「Meanwhile, at the Kong Family residence.」

Kong Erlengzi was carried back to the family estate and received treatment. Upon seeing his condition, Kong Tianjian was furious. Their Kong Family now followed the Star Shining Society, which gave them an extremely high status. For someone to dare attack a member of their family was simply audacious.

Kong Erlengzi exaggerated the incident as he reported it, "Family Head, you must stand up for me! That kid has no regard for you or the Kong Family at all. He even said that if you went to him, you’d have to kneel and apologize. Otherwise, he threatened to make the Kong Family disappear!"

BANG!

Kong Tianjian slammed his hand on the table. "What gall! Who dares to speak like that? Our Kong Family is now a powerful family under the Star Shining Society, more glorious than we were in the era of the Four Gates and Six Families. Who has such nerve? Rest assured, Erlengzi. I’ll have someone look into it right away. By tomorrow, I’ll make that dog kneel before you."

"That’s great, Family Head! With your word, I can rest easy. I’m going to kill that bastard with my own hands," Kong Erlengzi roared. "By the way, Family Head, what about my arm? That kid broke it, and the doctors say there’s nothing they can do. Please, find President Chen Guo for me and ask him to take a look!"

Kong Tianjian said, "That’s unfortunate timing. President Chen is currently busy with the Southern Eight Prefectures National Medicine Conference. It’s even more important than the previous Elixir Medicine Conference held in Jingnan Prefecture. Almost all the famous doctors from the Southern Eight Prefectures will be attending, as it concerns the allocation of medical resources. President Chen Guo takes it very seriously and probably won’t have time for your matter."

"The National Medicine Conference!" Kong Erlengzi immediately lost interest. "Why even bother? Among the Southern Eight Prefectures, our Jingnan Prefecture is the weakest, and our Martial Arts are the feeblest. Although our Medical Skills are generally strong, we lack famous doctors. With just President Chen Guo alone, he simply can’t carry the team. We end up at the bottom every single time. What’s the point?"

"This is indeed a problem," Kong Tianjian sighed. "Our Kong Family has pharmaceutical businesses, but we’ve always been stuck in Jingnan Prefecture, unable to expand. If we could achieve a good result at this National Medicine Conference, we could finally take our business to a larger scale. Our revenue would skyrocket."

Kong Tianjian’s thoughts turned to Yang Qi. But why would such a powerful figure care about something so trivial? Still, he might be able to help treat Kong Erlengzi.

"There is a Divine Doctor who is even more skilled than Master Chen," Kong Tianjian said. "But it’s too late today, so we shouldn’t disturb him. At dawn tomorrow, I’ll send someone to invite him over."

"Who could you possibly be afraid of disturbing?" Kong Erlengzi asked, confused. "In Thunder City, which doctor would dare to refuse you?"

"You don’t know shit!" Kong Tianjian snapped. "This person not only has sublime Medical Skills but also profound attainments in Martial Arts. I’m not even sure I can persuade him to come."

"You’re not talking about Mr. Yang, are you?" Kong Erlengzi’s eyes lit up, as he had heard some stories about him.

"So you know of Mr. Yang? That’s right! It is him. I believe if I extend the invitation in my name, he ought to give me some face," Kong Tianjian said.

"Of course I know Mr. Yang! He’s my idol," Kong Erlengzi said excitedly.

「The next morning.」

Yang Qi went with Lin Tao to the hospital to pick up Guo Yuxue and Tongtong.

The moment Guo Yuxue saw Lin Tao, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. She was stunned, unable to believe her eyes. How had Yang Qi managed to get Lin Tao out overnight?

"You! How did you get out? You didn’t escape, did you?" Guo Yuxue asked, her voice a mixture of joy and anxiety.

"Relax, Sister Xue. All the procedures were legal and legitimate. He was released for his repeated merits and good behavior," Yang Qi said with a smile.

Guo Yuxue felt that it couldn’t be that simple, but she couldn’t think of any other reason. Only after Lin Tao showed her the release papers did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and throw herself into her husband’s arms, bursting into tears. No matter how strong a woman is, she still needs someone to protect her.

"Daddy?"

Tongtong hadn’t seen her father in three years and looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"Yes, it’s Daddy. Daddy’s back," Lin Tao sobbed, looking at his daughter as tears streamed down his face.

On the way to the Qifei Group Hospital, the family of three sat in the back seat, with endless things to say to one another. Yang Qi was truly happy for them. He was glad he had intervened in time. Otherwise, Tongtong might never have seen her father again.

Just as they arrived at the Qifei Group Hospital, Yang Qi’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Kong Tianjian.

"Mr. Yang, I was hoping to ask you for a favor. Could you please come over? Where are you? I can send someone to pick you up. Is this a convenient time?" Kong Tianjian was extremely cautious on the phone, terrified of offending Yang Qi. His fear was understandable; after all, Yang Qi had wiped out the entire Tang Family of Sea City.

Yang Qi smiled. He had a good idea why Kong Tianjian was calling. This was the perfect opportunity to resolve the matter with Kong Erlengzi.

"Alright, wait for me at your home. I’ll come on my own," Yang Qi said before hanging up.

"Who was that?" Lin Tao asked curiously.

"Kong Tianjian," Yang Qi replied with a smile.

"What!" Lin Tao was startled. "The Family Head of the Kong Family? Why is he looking for you? Don’t tell me what happened last night got out?"

On the way over, Guo Yuxue had told Lin Tao about the events of the previous night. Lin Tao was grateful to Yang Qi but also felt deeply guilty.

"You can’t go! You won’t come back alive if you do," Lin Tao said urgently, shaking his head.

"Someone won’t be coming back alive, but it definitely won’t be me," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Alright, you stay here with your wife and child. I’ve already made the arrangements for Tongtong’s treatment. Keep in touch."

Lin Tao couldn’t understand where Yang Qi’s confidence came from. But then he recalled the attitude of the warden at Beishan Prison toward Yang Qi the previous night and had a vague feeling that there was more to his old friend than met the eye. Even so, he was going up against Kong Tianjian, the Family Head of the Kong Family!

"I’ll go with you," Lin Tao declared through gritted teeth. "If anything happens, I’ll take the blame. I can’t let you get pushed around after everything you’ve done for us."
