Chapter 36: The Xiao Family in the Capital
“The Nan family is holding an urgent meeting again. You need to come back quickly! All the members of the Nan family will attend!”
Seeing the message on his phone, Bai Chen replied with a simple "Okay."
Zhao Ruilong quickly asked, “Doctor Bai, is there something going on? Is there anything I can help with?”
Bai Chen gently shook his head.
“It’s just some family matters, it’s nothing serious.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruilong nodded but then sighed and looked at Bai Chen with some confusion.
“Doctor Bai, I have a question. You are such a skilled doctor, why don’t you tell the Nan family? I always feel that you in the Nan family is somewhat…”
“With your skills and ability to make herbal soup, you should be treated as a guest of honor anywhere!”
Bai Chen didn’t explain; he simply carried Bai Nian Nian down from the second floor.
“This is my daughter.”
As soon as they heard this, both Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya instantly understood.
In their eyes, Bai Chen must have been acting this way because of his daughter.
Zhao Ya looked at Bai Chen with even more complex feelings.
Bai Chen actually had a daughter!
She had thought the news of Bai Chen getting married was shocking enough, but now there was even more surprising information!
Seeing this, Zhao Ruilong immediately stood up and clasped his hands together towards Bai Chen.
“Our Zhao family has a batch of hundred-year-old herbs set aside for you, Doctor Bai. Once you’re done, I’ll personally bring them to you!”
Bai Chen nodded; he indeed needed that batch of herbs, but he wouldn’t take them for free.
“Alright, I can see you have quite a few hidden ailments. When the time comes, I’ll help you with those as well!”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Zhao Ruilong felt immense joy; he had been waiting for Bai Chen to say that!
Of course, even if Bai Chen hadn’t said it, he wouldn’t have been disappointed.
After all, having access to a renowned doctor for this batch of herbs was worth it!
“Then we won’t disturb you any longer! Please go ahead, Doctor Bai!”
With that, Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya left, and Bai Chen made his way to the Nan family with Bai Nian Nian.
All the way there, Bai Chen pondered why the Nan family was so anxious that they needed to hold an urgent meeting.
When Bai Chen returned to the Nan family with Bai Nian Nian, everyone there glared at him.
Nan Xuan Fei frowned.
“Who let you come here? This is our Nan family’s meeting! What are you doing here? Are you a member of the Nan family?”
The surrounding members of the Nan family began to whisper among themselves.
At the last family gathering, Nan Yue Ran announced her marriage to Bai Chen, which made the Nan family a target of ridicule.
As a result, their attitude towards Bai Chen was filled with disdain!
Nan Jiang Hong frowned, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
He always thought that Bai Chen’s background was not as simple as an ordinary person’s.
“Alright! Let’s not say too much. Since everyone is here, let’s begin!”
“I called this urgent meeting not for any other reason, but because the Lin family has been wiped out!”
Upon hearing this news, the members of the Nan family were initially stunned, then they gasped in shock.
Nan Zhan Fei frowned.
“Dad, is this news true? The Lin family may not be strong, but their backer is the capital! How could they be destroyed?”
Nan Jiang Hong glanced at Nan Zhan Fei.
“That’s also why I called this urgent meeting!”
“Everyone knows the Lin family has the capital behind them!”
“But the key point is, it was the capital that destroyed the Lin family!”
Hearing this, Nan Zhan Fei stood frozen.
Not just him; everyone around felt the same way.
Nan Xuan Fei found it hard to believe.
“What could the Lin family have done to be destroyed by the capital?”
“Did their backer actually eliminate them?”
A glint of insight flickered in Nan Jiang Hong’s eyes.
“We don’t yet know the reasons behind this, but according to rumors, the Lin family seems to have offended someone they shouldn’t have!”
“And this person even requires careful treatment from the Lintai capital! To quell this person’s anger, the capital had to personally eliminate the Lin family!”
“And the one leading the charge was Su You Wei!”
At Nan Jiang Hong’s words, the atmosphere in the room froze, and the sound of a pin dropping could be heard!
“How, how is this even possible!”
Nan Zhan Fei and a few of his siblings were left standing in shock, unable to believe it.
“Sigh! I don’t want to believe it either, but this is the truth!”
Nan Jiang Hong shook his head and sighed.
Nan Xuan Fei’s eyes shifted as she thought of something and immediately asked,
“Does Grandpa know who this person is?”
“When did someone so influential appear in Lintai, that the capital would treat him this way?”
Nan Jiang Hong nodded slightly, surveying the room.
“I don’t know other details, but according to news from the Yang family, this person is said to be a martial arts master!”
“Martial arts master!”
Nan Xuan Fei exclaimed, her face filled with shock.
Nan Jiang Hong scanned the faces of everyone present and noticed that they all looked astonished.
But only Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran looked different!
Seeing this, Nan Jiang Hong frowned slightly.
Bai Chen didn’t know what to say.
He was the person Nan Jiang Hong referred to, the one that even the capital needed to treat with respect.
Nan Yue Ran felt a bit confused.
She had been with Bai Chen throughout this whole situation!
So, she clearly understood what was happening!
Now, seeing everyone discussing the matter so mysteriously, she felt unsure of what to say, her emotions were complicated.
Nan Xuan Fei swallowed hard, feeling somewhat scared.
“Oh my, to think it’s a martial arts master! The Lin family really hit bad luck this time! They actually offended such a powerful figure!”
Nan Jiang Hong nodded and then spoke,
“The reason I called you all here today is to remind you to be more cautious when you’re out! Don’t get into any trouble!”
“The Lin family was just unfortunate to have angered a martial arts master and were wiped out!”
“If our Nan family also offends a martial arts master, we might face the same fate as the Lin family!”
Hearing Nan Jiang Hong’s words, the expressions of many Nan family members changed, and they all responded.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa! We definitely won’t offend a martial arts master!” Nan Xuan Fei patted her chest and assured him.
“Besides, martial arts masters are so rare; how could we be so unlucky to run into one?”
“And their aura is something we can’t approach! We will be careful!”
Nan Jiang Hong nodded, then looked at the indifferent Bai Chen and the shocked Nan Yue Ran, frowning again.
“Nan Yue Ran, you should also take this seriously! If you offend a martial arts master, our Nan family won’t be able to protect you!”
“And the same goes for Yang Xiao Tian!”
Nan Yue Ran quickly replied, but inside, she felt very uncomfortable.
Because the martial arts master Nan Jiang Hong spoke of was right beside her!
Nan Xuan Fei looked at the indifferent Bai Chen and scoffed.
“Do you even know what a martial arts master is? You act so unconcerned! If you end up offending one, don’t say you’re part of our Nan family!”
“Besides, you’re not really one of us to begin with! Such bad luck! Like a dog-skin plaster, you insist on sticking to our Nan family!”
Bai Chen shot her a cold glance.
“Silence and you won’t be mistaken for a mute.”
“You!”
Nan Xuan Fei wanted to retort, but she met Bai Chen’s indifferent gaze, and her anger quickly faded.
At that moment, Nan Jiang Hong’s expression turned serious again as he stated,
“The second thing I want to discuss today is that the Xiao family from the provincial city is coming to Lintai!”
