Miracle Doctor Chapter 1031

Seven o’clock in the evening.

Ye Qiu, carrying a suitcase, walked out of Longmen headquarters, a smile on his lips.

“Cao Qingcheng, trying to compete with me? Hmph, I’ll have you begging for mercy in no time.”

At that moment, a large Hongqi car pulled up at the entrance.

The driver was Ye Wudi.

“Get in!” Ye Wudi shouted.

Ye Qiu slid into the passenger seat, settled in, and said, “No wonder it’s a Hongqi, so comfortable.”

“No kidding, this is the old man’s car, only a few in the country,” Ye Wudi said, annoyed. “The whole family’s waiting for you, why are you only coming out now?”

Ye Qiu replied, “Just handled some important business.”

Ye Wudi didn’t press further, started the car, and drove off with Ye Qiu.

Twenty minutes later.

The car entered Chang’an Street, passing by the Forbidden City’s entrance.

Ye Qiu glanced at the weathered, towering city walls, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, thick with killing intent.

Sensing the murderous aura, Ye Wudi said, “Stay calm, we’ll take them down tomorrow night.”

“Mm,” Ye Qiu responded.

The car made a few turns, eventually entering a quiet alley, stopping in front of a traditional courtyard house.

At the entrance stood a pair of stone lions, with a red gate and green tiles, resembling an ancient prince’s mansion.

Above the gate hung a horizontal plaque with two words:

Ye Residence!

Ye Qiu got out, looked up at the words “Ye Residence,” his gaze lingering.

“I never thought my first time coming home would involve a life-or-death situation.”

Ye Qiu’s heart was filled with complex emotions.

Ye Wudi patted his shoulder and said, “What are you standing there for? Go inside!”

As they were about to enter, Ye Wuwei and Shadow walked out.

“Ye Qiu, welcome home.”

Ye Wuwei smiled broadly, stepping forward to hug Ye Qiu.

Uncomfortable with such closeness from a man, Ye Qiu gently pushed Ye Wuwei away, called him “Second Uncle,” then turned to Shadow. “Senior, how’s your health?”

Shadow grinned. “Eating well, sleeping soundly, doing great.”

Ye Qiu smiled. “Good to hear.”

Shadow said, “Come inside, everyone’s waiting.”

Ye Qiu nodded slightly and followed Shadow in.

The Ye family mansion wasn’t extravagant, but it was serene, elegantly laid out, like a Jiangnan garden.

Entering the living room.

It was empty.

“Where’s the old man?” Ye Qiu asked, surprised.

“In the dining room,” Ye Wuwei said, leading Ye Qiu through a small door behind the living room to the dining area.

As Ye Qiu entered, several pairs of eyes landed on his face.

Ye Qiu remained calm, scanning the room and spotting familiar faces.

The War God.

Master Duer.

Tang Fei.

Long Ye!

There was also a middle-aged woman in a qipao, around her forties, with fair skin and a well-maintained appearance, resembling Ye Dabao. Ye Qiu guessed she was Ye Dabao’s mother.

Finally, his gaze settled on an elderly man next to the War God.

The old man had a lean face and a kind expression.

Ye Qiu instantly recognised him as his grandfather, once a powerful figure, second only to one, above thousands.

As Ye Qiu observed his grandfather, the old man was also studying him.

After a moment.

Ye Qiu bowed and greeted, “Hello, sir.”

A flicker of disappointment passed through the old man’s eyes, clearly because Ye Qiu hadn’t called him “Grandfather.”

But the disappointment quickly faded.

“Ye Qiu, you’re finally back, good, very good,” the old man said, pointing to the seat beside him. “Sit.”

Ye Qiu sat down, nodding slightly to the War God in greeting.

The War God smiled warmly.

Ye Wudi and Ye Wuwei sat down as well.

“Ye Qiu, let me introduce you. This is your Second Aunt,” Ye Wuwei said, pointing to the middle-aged woman.

The woman smiled. “Little Ye, welcome home.”

“Hello, Second Aunt,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Ye Qiu then asked Ye Wudi, “Third Uncle, where’s Third Aunt?”

Ye Wudi cursed. “That woman, no idea where she’s gone, been out of touch lately.”

“Damn it, I’m practically on my deathbed, and she doesn’t even show up.”

“Hmph, I’ll divorce her soon.”

Ye Qiu laughed. “Third Uncle, you dare divorce Third Aunt? Aren’t you afraid she’ll beat you up?”

Ye Wudi’s face turned red.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Qiu turned to Master Duer. “Master, when did you arrive in the capital?”

“This afternoon,” Master Duer said. “Donor Ye, I see the divine light in your eyes is restrained, your cultivation has improved quite a bit, hasn’t it?”

Ye Qiu replied, “Just a little.”

“Dad, since Ye Qiu’s here, let’s eat!” Ye Wudi said. “I’m starving.”

“Hold on,” the old man said. “One more person hasn’t arrived.”

“Who?” Ye Wudi asked.

“Third Uncle, it’s me,” a timid voice said.

Ye Qiu turned to see Ye Dabao standing at the dining room entrance.

It had been a while, and the kid’s skin was much darker, likely from tough training at the Hades Hall.

When Ye Dabao saw Ye Qiu, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He greeted everyone, keeping his distance when he got to Ye Qiu, saying, “Brother!”

It was clear the kid was scared of Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled and asked, “Enjoying your time at the Hades Hall devil training camp?”

Ye Dabao’s mouth twitched.

“Dabao, sit!” the old man said.

Ye Dabao nodded and took a seat.

The old man said, “This dinner is mainly to welcome Ye Qiu home.”

“Everyone’s here, let’s eat!”

The old man picked up a pig’s trotter and placed it in Ye Qiu’s bowl, saying kindly, “Don’t be shy at home.”

“Mm,” Ye Qiu responded softly.

After dinner.

Ye Dabao’s mother and the servants quickly cleared the table, brought out fruit platters, some nuts and candies, brewed a pot of tea, and left the dining room.

Now, it was time to talk business.

The old man said, “Tomorrow night is the decisive battle. Since everyone’s here, let’s discuss strategy.”

“From the current situation, things aren’t in our favour.”

“But we can’t just be lambs to the slaughter.”

“According to intelligence, our strongest enemies tomorrow night will be Long Yi and Long Er.”

“But there’s another person we can’t overlook, Long Yi’s disciple, the former head of the Shuzhong Sword Pavilion, Zhuge Yun.”

“Wushuang destroyed the Sword Pavilion and killed Zhuge Qing, so Zhuge Yun will hold that grudge against us.”

“Wudi, your thoughts.”

Ye Wudi took over. “Long Yi’s strength is unfathomable, I suspect he’s already stepped into the realm of immortality.”

“Long Er might have cultivated nine, or even ten, strands of true qi.”

“As for Zhuge Yun, his strength is unknown, but conservatively, he’s cultivated at least six strands of true qi, maybe more.”

“In a free-for-all, we have no chance of winning.”

“So, I think our best option is one-on-one duels!”

Miracle Doctor Chapter 1032

Seven o’clock in the evening.

Ye Wudi said, “Long Yi and his group are too strong. If they team up, we won’t stand a chance.”

“So, one-on-one duels are our only shot.”

“What do you all think?”

The War God said, “I agree with Wudi’s strategy, duels are feasible.”

Ye Qiu nodded, “I also think Third Uncle’s plan is good.”

Master Duer clasped his hands, “Amitabha, I too believe duels are the way.”

The old man added, “Since everyone agrees on duels, let’s move to the next step. Who will deal with Zhuge Yun?”

“I’ll handle Zhuge Yun!”

A cool voice rang out from the dining room entrance.

Everyone looked up to see Dragon Lady, dressed in a golden robe, walking in.

Today, Dragon Lady wore no mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

An oval face, almond-shaped eyes.

Willow-like brows.

Fair skin.

Her high nose bridge carried a hint of exotic charm, her beauty radiating the dignity of a peerless master.

Ye Wudi shot up, yelling at her, “You woman, where have you been?”

“Why have you been out of touch lately?”

“If you didn’t show up soon, I was ready to divorce you…”

Thud!

Before Ye Wudi could finish, Dragon Lady knocked him down with a punch.

Then, she looked at everyone and said, “Sorry, my husband lacks discipline, making a fool of himself.”

The group couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Brahma Master, please sit,” the old man stood, gesturing invitingly.

Full of courtesy.

Dragon Lady’s arrival at this moment showed her sincerity toward Ye Wudi.

“No need for formalities, I should be calling you Dad,” Dragon Lady said with a smile. “Dad, you won’t mind me disciplining Wudi, will you?”

The old man laughed, “You did well, thank you.”

Ye Wudi shot the old man a resentful glance, as if to say, I’m getting beaten by this woman, and you’re siding with her?

Am I even your real son?

“No need to thank me, I’ll keep disciplining him,” Dragon Lady said, reaching to pull Ye Wudi up.

Hmph!

Ye Wudi snorted, ignoring her.

“What, think my punch was too light? Want another?” Dragon Lady asked with a smirk.

Ye Wudi glared at her, “Woman, don’t push it, I’m warning you…”

“What are you gonna do?” Dragon Lady’s face turned cold, her eyes sharp.

“Hahaha, honey, just kidding, don’t take it seriously.”

Ye Wudi grabbed her hand, stood up, and fawned, “Sweetheart, you must be tired from rushing here, right?”

“Let me give you a shoulder massage.”

Ye Dabao was stunned. He used to fear Ye Wudi, who always had a stern face, like Dabao owed him millions.

And Ye Wudi’s skills meant he often disciplined Dabao.

Dabao never imagined his tiger-like Third Uncle could be so cowardly.

He felt a rush of satisfaction, muttering, “Thirty years east, thirty years west.”

“What goes around comes around.”

“Third Uncle, you have your day too!”

Though soft, everyone heard Dabao clearly.

Ye Wudi roared at him, “Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll skin you alive, you hear?”

Dabao shrank back in fear.

“Bullying the young, how brave. Try me instead,” Dragon Lady glared at Ye Wudi, then said to Dabao, “If he bullies you again, tell me, I’ll deal with him.”

“Thanks, Third Aunt,” Dabao beamed.

“Alright, let’s get back to strategy,” the old man said to Dragon Lady. “You said you’ll handle Zhuge Yun?”

“Correct,” Dragon Lady said. “If Zhuge Yun’s cultivation doesn’t exceed eight strands of true qi, I’m confident I can take him down爆

System: down.”

“Recently, I was in seclusion, which is why I haven’t been in touch,” Dragon Lady continued. “Taking down Zhuge Yun should be no problem.”

Everyone was delighted at this.

“Good, Zhuge Yun is yours,” the old man said. “Who will handle Long Er?”

“I’ll take him,” Ye Wudi said. “I’ll kill Long Er.”

Dragon Lady rolled her eyes, ruthlessly shutting him down. “Please, with your skills, Long Er could crush you with one hand.”

Master Duer said, “I can team up with Donor Ye to face Long Er.”

Dragon Lady shook her head. “No offence, but even together, you’d be no match for Long Er.”

“I’ll handle Long Er.”

“But don’t get your hopes up. I’ve never fought him, but I know I’m not his match.”

At that moment.

Ye Qiu spoke up, “Leave Long Er to you.”

“Third Aunt, I need your help.”

“Create an opportunity for me to land a killing blow.”

“Deal,” Dragon Lady agreed instantly.

“Can you take down Long Er?” the old man asked Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu said, “Shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Good, that leaves only Long Yi,” the old man sighed. “He’s a formidable foe.”

“If we can’t kill him, taking out Zhuge Yun and Long Er won’t change the outcome.”

“Long Yi won’t be easy to kill!”

Ye Wudi said, “To take him down, we’ll have to work together and fight with everything we’ve got.”

Master Duer sighed, “Pity we have so few people. By the way, didn’t Master Longbrow also get the Forbidden City’s challenge? Why isn’t he here?”

Ye Wudi cursed, “Don’t count on that old fool, totally unreliable. I called him a few times, and he said he’s taking his disciple to hide in the mountains.”

“Even invited us to join.”

“Said we could play a few rounds of mahjong with more people.”

Everyone was speechless.

“This battle is on us alone,” Ye Wudi said.

“What about Old Tang?” Ye Qiu asked. “What’s his stance?”

The old man shook his head. “Old Tang’s position is unclear. He wants to move against the Forbidden City but has reservations.”

“I understand, the Forbidden City isn’t easy to take down.”

“Years ago, I foresaw a final showdown with them, so the War God and I have been preparing in secret.”

“The War God trained a group of fifty death warriors, each as skilled as a Dragon List master.”

“I’m assigning ten of them, led by Tang Fei and Long Ye, to escort Dabao and his mother out of the capital, to preserve a spark for the Ye family.”

“The rest will join us at the Forbidden City.”

“Tomorrow night, we go all in, fight to the death.”

“Prepare for the worst.”

“It’s life or death, up to fate.”

The discussion ended there.

Ye Qiu found it odd that the War God said so little throughout.

That night, Ye Qiu stayed at the Ye residence.

The next day.

The thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the decisive battle arrived!

Miracle Doctor Chapter 1033

The thirtieth of the lunar new year.

Morning.

The north wind howled.

The branches in the courtyard swayed with the wind, making a sobbing sound that stirred a sense of sorrow.

Noon.

The sun shone brightly, the sky clear and boundless.

The Ye family decorated the courtyard festively, preparing to welcome the Spring Festival.

Ye Wudi thought it unnecessary, as after tonight, this top family in the capital might vanish forever.

But the old man insisted.

The old man said, “Even if we die, we should have a reunion dinner first, carrying the festive spirit on our way.”

Still, everyone’s hearts remained heavy.

To celebrate the festival, the old man personally cooked a few dishes, a rare occurrence.

One o’clock in the afternoon.

The family gathered for a reunion dinner.

Ye Qiu returned to his room, calling Qian Jinglan, Lin Jingzhi, Bai Bing, Qin Wan, Su Luoying, Qianshan Xue, and Xu Changjin in Korea.

Afterwards,

Ye Qiu brought gifts and visited the Bai family to see Old General Bai.

This year, Bai Bing stayed in Jiangzhou for the festival, and Bai Yujing and his son were abroad, leaving the Bai household unusually quiet.

When Ye Qiu saw Old General Bai, he was wearing a greyish-yellow military coat, sitting in the courtyard by a fire.

Two guards accompanied him.

“Little Ye, today is critical, why do you have time to visit an old man like me?”

“You shouldn’t have come.”

“You should be fully preparing for the battle.”

The news of the duel had spread widely in the capital, and as a surviving founding hero, Old General Bai was well aware.

“Old General, it’s New Year’s Eve, and since Sister Bing didn’t return, I’m visiting on her behalf.”

Ye Qiu asked with concern, “How’s your health lately?”

“Since your last treatment, I’ve been much better,” Old General Bai gestured, and the two guards quickly left.

Then, his smile faded as he asked, “Little Ye, are you confident about tonight’s battle?”

“No,” Ye Qiu answered honestly.

Old General Bai’s expression changed. “If you’re not confident, why not escape?”

Ye Qiu said, “Some things must be faced; running isn’t the answer.”

Old General Bai praised, “Knowing there’s a tiger in the mountain yet heading toward it, that’s the act of a brave man.”

“Little Bing didn’t misjudge you, you truly have courage.”

“I hope you survive tonight; I don’t want Little Bing widowed.”

Ye Qiu smiled, “I’ll do my best.”

Old General Bai added, “The Forbidden City sent invitations to all major families in the capital to witness tonight. I’ll be there too.”

“I think everyone invited will go.”

“Little Ye, I’m too old to help, so tonight depends on you.”

“You must survive!”

His concern for Ye Qiu was evident.

Ye Qiu smiled, “Old General, no need to worry, I’ll give it my all.”

“Mm,” Old General Bai nodded slightly.

“I have things to attend to, so I won’t stay. If I survive tonight, I’ll take you to Jiangzhou,” Ye Qiu said. “It’s a nice place with mountains and lakes.”

Old General Bai nodded, “Good.”

Ye Qiu stood, took a few steps, then turned back to Old General Bai, saying, “If one day I kill Bai Yujing, you won’t blame me, will you?”

Old General Bai was silent for a moment before answering, “Little Ye, you’re a doctor, saving lives and helping the wounded.”

“I know you’re not bloodthirsty.”

“If you kill Bai Yujing, it must mean he deserved it.”

“I won’t blame you.”

“With your words, I’m at ease,” Ye Qiu said, leaving the Bai household.

As he left, the two guards returned to Old General Bai’s side.

“Do you know what shameful things Bai Yujing has done?” Old General Bai asked.

Both guards shook their heads, “No idea.”

Sigh!

Old General Bai let out a long sigh, “I fought my whole life, how did I end up with such a disgraceful grandson? A misfortune to the family, a misfortune!”

…

After leaving the Bai household, Ye Qiu returned to the Ye residence.

Evening.

The clear sky turned gloomy, covered in dark clouds.

A sense of oppression hung over the capital, like a storm was brewing.

Six thirty in the evening.

Darkness had fallen.

The Ye family set out.

Ye Dabao and his mother saw them off at the gate.

“Dabao, if we don’t return, don’t seek revenge. Live well for the rest of your life,” the old man said.

Ye Wuwei added, “Dabao, take care of your mother.”

Ye Qiu patted Ye Dabao’s shoulder, saying, “You’d better pray I die tonight, or you’ll be stuck in the devil training camp for years.”

Surprisingly, Ye Dabao smiled and said, “Brother, I believe you’ll come back alive.”

Ye Qiu said, “If I do, I’ll find you a wife.”

“Someone like Third Aunt.”

“Then you’ll really be in for it.”

Ye Dabao’s mouth twitched.

“Let’s go!” The old man, in a woollen coat, led the way with determination.

Ye Qiu, Ye Wuwei, Ye Wudi, and Dragon Lady followed.

Master Duer, in red robes, holding a vajra staff, brought up the rear.

Three cars waited outside.

Before boarding,

Snowflakes began to fall, adding a touch of melancholy to the oppressive atmosphere.

The old man reached out, a snowflake landing in his palm, melting in less than five seconds.

“Human life is like this snowflake, beautiful but fleeting.”

The old man sighed and asked, “Ye Qiu, what is our purpose today?”

Ye Qiu answered, “To kill Long Yi and destroy the Forbidden City.”

“And if we don’t return?” the old man asked.

Ye Qiu declared, “Then we don’t return!”

The old man laughed heartily, “Well said, worthy of being my grandson, Ye Zhengling.”

“What’s to fear in life or death? A true man stands tall, doing what must be done, avoiding what must not.”

“Ye Qiu, join me in my car, to the Forbidden City.”

Everyone boarded.

At that moment, Ye Dabao and his mother knelt at the Ye residence gate.

“Grandfather, Father, Third Uncle, Brother—”

“You must come back!”

“Alive!”

Ye Dabao shouted hoarsely, keping until blood dripped from his forehead.

His mother, watching Ye Wuwei’s car, wept silently.

Ye Qiu’s mind echoed with two lines: The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero goes, never to return.

“Move out!”

At the old man’s command, the cars headed for the Forbidden City!

Miracle Doctor Chapter 1034

After the car had driven for a while.

The old man said, “Ye Qiu, in my lifetime, I’ve wronged Wushuang and you and your mother the most.”

“I hope in the next life I can make it up to you.”

“Take this.”

The old man took a pill from his pocket and handed it to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu sniffed it and asked, “Poison?”

“Yes,” the old man said. “If you’re defeated but not dead, and Long Yi and his men try to torture you, take this pill to ease the pain.”

Ye Qiu crushed it, saying, “No need. I won’t let them torture me. I’ll fight to the last moment.”

The old man sighed, “Your unyielding spirit is just like Wushuang’s.”

Suddenly.

The driver stopped.

“Sir, someone’s blocking the road,” the driver said.

Ye Qiu looked out and saw thousands of people standing in the street, each holding a bowl of wine.

Leading them was Cao Qingcheng.

Behind her were Qinglong, Qilin, Zhao Hu, and Xiao Zhan!

“It’s the Longmen people. I’ll go check.”

Ye Qiu opened the door, stepped out, and asked, “Qingcheng, what are you all doing?”

Cao Qingcheng said, “I brought the brothers to see you off.”

Xiao Zhan handed Ye Qiu a bowl of wine, saying, “Boss, may you return safely.”

Ye Qiu took the wine, looked at the crowd, and said, “Thank you, brothers.”

“Remember this.”

“Whether I live or die, Longmen will always endure.”

“Cheers!”

Ye Qiu downed the wine in one gulp, tossed the bowl aside, and returned to the car.

Cao Qingcheng raised her right hand.

Instantly, all Longmen disciples stepped to the sides of the road, knelt, and shouted:

“Farewell, Master!”

Their voices shook the heavens, echoing through the clouds.

The car continued forward.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Forbidden City.

The car stopped at the entrance.

From a distance, they saw the War God in a wheelchair, with forty men in black behind him.

Each man had a cold expression, exuding a chilling aura.

Ye Qiu knew these were the death warriors trained by the old man and the War God.

Tang Fei and Long Ye stood behind the War God.

“War God, you’re here early!” the old man greeted with a smile.

The War God grinned, “Wanted to get here early to kill.”

Then.

The War God’s gaze landed on Ye Qiu, asking, “Scared?”

“Scared to death,” Ye Qiu joked. “If I’d known, I would’ve gone with that old fool to hide in the mountains and play cards.”

“You can still run,” the War God said.

Ye Qiu shook his head, “I’m here now, running’s no fun.”

“Enough chatter, let’s go in!” The War God instructed Tang Fei and Long Ye, “Follow the plan. If we die, take Ye Dabao and leave the capital immediately.”

“Yes!” Tang Fei and Long Ye bowed, saying, “War God, take care!”

The War God smiled, “You too.”

They nodded, then approached Ye Qiu.

“Ye Qiu, take care!”

“Boss, you have to come out alive!”

Tang Fei and Long Ye’s eyes were red.

“Enough, we’re grown men, no need for drama. Get lost,” Ye Qiu cursed.

Tang Fei and Long Ye gave Ye Qiu a deep look, then turned and left.

At that moment, large snowflakes began falling from the dim sky.

A cold wind roared.

The trees by the road swayed violently, emitting sharp, piercing howls, like a death knell.

“Auspicious snow heralds a good year. Looks promising for next year,” the old man said.

“Will we even see next year?” the War God added. “Let’s go in!”

Ye Qiu pushed the War God, and the group braved the snowstorm, stepping into the Forbidden City’s gates.

The Forbidden City, once a symbol of imperial power.

Despite centuries of wind and rain, dynasties changing, and eras shifting, this imperial city still stood tall.

Its towering walls, weathered yet awe-inspiring.

After entering the gates, Ye Qiu and the group walked a distance and saw, in the snowstorm, a figure holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Tangtang!

Tangtang wore a long red down jacket, standing strikingly in the snow.

The War God said, “Ye Qiu, she’s waiting for you. Go see her.”

Ye Qiu approached, seeing Tangtang’s nose red from the cold, and said, “What are you doing here?”

“Go back.”

“It’s cold, don’t catch a chill.”

Tangtang looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, but as she smiled, tears fell.

Then, she threw herself into Ye Qiu’s arms, hugging him tightly.

“Before coming, I told myself not to cry, but seeing you, I can’t help it.”

“Ye Qiu, I’m so scared, scared I’ll never see you again.”

“Promise me you’ll survive, okay?”

Ye Qiu stroked her hair, saying solemnly, “Okay, I promise.”

“No lying.”

“I won’t lie.”

Tangtang let go of Ye Qiu and stepped aside.

Ye Qiu pushed the War God forward.

After a few steps.

“Ye Qiu!”

Tangtang’s voice called out again, saying, “Ye Qiu, when you come out, I have a secret to tell you. You have to come out!”

“Okay!” Ye Qiu turned and smiled.

Soon.

They reached the inner part of the Forbidden City.

Surrounded by high walls, with a grand hall in the centre.

The hall’s doors were shut.

In front of it was a vast square.

The square was filled with chairs, already occupied by at least a hundred people.

Ye Qiu scanned the crowd, spotting Old Tang, Old General Bai, Xiao Qingdi, and others he didn’t know but could tell were significant figures.

As they appeared, all eyes turned to them.

Some worried, some indifferent, some gloating…

The old man led Ye Qiu and the others to greet Old Tang.

“Be careful tonight,” Old Tang whispered.

The old man nodded, then led Ye Qiu and the group to sit in empty seats.

The scene was eerily quiet.

Next to Ye Qiu sat Xiao Qingdi.

As Ye Qiu sat, Xiao Qingdi’s voice rang out.

“Ye Qiu, didn’t expect you’d have this day!”

“I was planning to find a chance to kill you, but looks like I won’t need to.”

“You won’t survive tonight.”

Ye Qiu turned, seeing Xiao Qingdi’s smug smile, and said, “Did the Champion Marquis ever teach you not to mess with a man about to die?”

Xiao Qingdi raised a brow, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I mean, you’re an idiot.” As Ye Qiu spoke, he slapped Xiao Qingdi across the face.

Slap!

Miracle Doctor Chapter 1035

A crisp slap echoed through the venue.

All eyes, in an instant, focused on Ye Qiu and Xiao Qingdi.

Xiao Qingdi, clutching his face, glared at Ye Qiu with resentment, sneering, “Ye Qiu, what are you so arrogant about?”

“You’ll soon be a dead man.”

“Let me tell you, after you’re dead, I’ll tear your body to pieces and feed it to the dogs.”

Ye Qiu said calmly, “It seems that slap didn’t teach you a lesson.”

Bang!

Ye Qiu kicked Xiao Qingdi over, then stomped hard on his face several times.

In an instant, Xiao Qingdi’s face was bruised and swollen, resembling a pig’s head.

“I told you, don’t provoke a man who’s about to die, or I’ll take you down with me first.”

At that moment, an old man nearby shouted, “Brat, don’t be so brazen! Do you know who Xiao Qingdi is?”

“You dare touch the champion marquis’s brother? Are you seeking death?”

“I warn you—”

Whoosh!

Ye Qiu’s figure darted forward, and a slap rang out.

Smack!

Ye Qiu slapped the old man across the face.

“Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to lecture me?”

Ye Qiu was utterly domineering.

The old man’s face darkened with rage, “I am the head of the Zhou family!”

“So what?”

The old man laughed in anger, looking at Ye Qiu as if he were a dead man, “Let me tell you, I was once a high-ranking official, and my son controls a billion-dollar conglomerate.”

“You’re just a petty medical saint and underworld boss. What makes you so arrogant?”

“Believe it or not, crushing you is easier than crushing an ant.”

Only a few people, like Old Tang, the military god, knew Ye Qiu’s true identity. Most were unaware that Ye Qiu was Ye Wushuang’s son.

Twenty years ago, the Zhou family was among those who besieged Ye Wushuang.

Ye Qiu sighed, “It seems you didn’t hear what I just said to Xiao Qingdi.”

“Threatening a man who’s about to die is a foolish move.”

“Since I’m doomed to die tonight, I might as well collect some interest in the meantime.”

Collect some interest?

What did that mean?

The old man was stunned, and the others didn’t understand Ye Qiu’s words either.

But Old Tang understood.

“Ye Qiu, don’t—”

Old Tang hurriedly spoke, but it was too late.

Ye Qiu struck like lightning, grabbing the Zhou family head by the throat. Under everyone’s gaze, he squeezed hard.

Crack!

The Zhou family head’s throat shattered.

“Old fool, this is what you get for threatening me.” Ye Qiu tossed the Zhou family head to the ground.

The Zhou family head’s eyes bulged, he struggled twice, then his head tilted, dead with unclosed eyes.

The crowd erupted in outrage.

“You scoundrel, how dare you!”

“Killing in front of us all, aren’t you afraid of going to hell?”

“I advise you to kill yourself to atone, or I won’t let you off!”

Far from being afraid, Ye Qiu’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

He scanned the crowd.

“Who was it just now, saying they wouldn’t let me off?” Ye Qiu asked.

“It was me!” An old man with a white beard stood up.

Behind him were two bodyguards, both skilled.

Moreover, the bodyguards carried guns, and as the old man stood, their hands gripped their weapons, warily watching Ye Qiu, ready to act.

“Who are you?” Ye Qiu asked.

“I am the head of the Tong family,” the old man said proudly.

The Tong family was also among those who besieged Ye Wushuang back then.

Ye Qiu asked with a grin, “You said you wouldn’t let me off. How exactly do you plan to do that?”

The old man said, “Killing in public demands a life in return.”

“Good!”

Ye Qiu’s words stunned the crowd.

Was this kid going to atone for the Zhou family head’s death?

Even the Tong family head looked puzzled.

He could tell Ye Qiu was ruthless, yet he hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to agree so readily to atone.

The Tong family head said, “Kid, since you’re willing to atone, I’ll send you a coffin…”

“You misunderstood,” Ye Qiu interrupted, “I meant, you atone.”

Whoosh!

As Ye Qiu spoke, he was already in front of the Tong family head.

Old Tang leapt up, shouting, “Ye Qiu, stop!”

Boom—

Ye Qiu’s fist sent the Tong family head flying.

The Tong family head, a man in his sixties or seventies, couldn’t withstand such a blow. His body flew over ten metres, crashing onto the floor, blood spurting from his mouth, and soon he was lifeless.

“Family head!”

“Family head!”

The two bodyguards quickly drew their guns.

But before they could, they collapsed in pools of blood.

Four people killed in a row!

Ye Qiu, as if nothing had happened, scanned the crowd and said with a smile, “Anyone else planning not to let me off?”

“Step forward.”

“Don’t worry, I’m quick. You won’t feel any pain.”

No one stepped forward.

In fact, they felt a chill of fear.

These were all powerful figures, whose mere footsteps could cause tremors, but Ye Qiu’s methods had intimidated them.

After all, who isn’t afraid of death?

And the older they were, the more they feared it.

The scene fell into dead silence.

After a full minute, seeing no one speak, Ye Qiu turned to return to his seat.

“Ye Qiu!”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood up.

He had a round face, broad ears, and an imposing presence, clearly a man of long-standing authority.

“Who are you?” Ye Qiu asked.

The middle-aged man replied, “I am Liang Zhiguo. My son went missing in Jiangzhou recently. I want to know if it has anything to do with you.”

Ye Qiu glanced at the slightly chubby old man sitting beside him, who was also staring at him coldly.

Ye Qiu understood and asked, “You’re Liang Wenyue’s father?”

“Indeed,” the middle-aged man asked Ye Qiu, “Did my son die by your hand?”

“So what if he did? Are you here to avenge him?” Ye Qiu asked.

Murderous intent flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes, “So it was you who killed Liang Wenyue?”

“And if it was?” Ye Qiu countered.

The middle-aged man said coldly, “If you don’t die tonight, I’ll come for your head later.”

The chubby old man beside him added, “Killing someone from our Liang family demands a life in return.”

Ye Qiu was unfazed, “You’re so eager for revenge, why wait? Come at me now!”

Neither the middle-aged man nor the old man moved.

“Since you won’t act, I’ll collect some interest from you.” Ye Qiu’s expression suddenly turned cold.

The Liang family patriarch spoke again, “Ye Qiu, acting so lawlessly, have you never considered the consequences?”

“You’re the old fool. I’m a man about to die, what consequences do I care about?”

As Ye Qiu spoke, he threw two punches.

The next second, the Liang family father and son lay dead on the spot!
