A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

Lin Yuqing acted swiftly and decisively, immediately mobilizing the resources of both the Lin and Zhu families to conduct an investigation overnight.

They already had experience dealing with the Zhao and Li families, and this time, they were quick and accurate. In less than a day, the clues behind those merchants who suddenly broke their contracts and the key point that was holding up the approval process were all uncovered.

Layer upon layer, winding and turning, in the end, they all converged into an empty shell company overseas.

Moreover, this time, the owner of this shell company is no longer trying to hide it.

"Zhao Hui." Lin Yuqing slammed the unearthed documents heavily on the table. "What's strange is that he used overseas funds and private connections whose origins are completely untraceable, without any connection to the Zhao family's main branch! It seems... he's doing it all himself!"

Ye Feng stared at the documents, his eyes shining.

Zhao Hui! That little devil who came to "seek advice" from the "expert" and "cooperate" with him, leaving behind the saying, "You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth."

"It's not entirely the Zhao family," Ye Feng said calmly, his eyes dark. "After the Li family was destroyed, the main branch of the Zhao family was so frightened that they cowered in fear, not daring to utter a single finger. However, this Zhao Hui is using another invisible and intangible net. It's him, or the big fish behind him that even the Zhao and Li families are just pawns."

"This time, he didn't use the life-or-death tactics of the Li family," Ye Feng said calmly. "Poaching suppliers and blocking approvals may seem ruthless, but actually, he gave us a way out. He wasn't trying to kill us."

"What is he trying to do?" Lin Yuqing asked, puzzled.

"A test." Ye Feng spoke slowly, enunciating each word clearly. "He's testing my strength, seeing just how powerful the Lin and Zhu families, who have only recently formed an alliance, really are after the Li family falls. He wants to see how much I, the 'Hidden Divine Doctor,' can withstand compared to the Li family's foolish opponents. It's really just a show of force, a trial balloon."

If this is a test, then Ye Feng and Lin Yuqing will be the ones to respond.

Relying on the combined influence of the Lin and Zhu families, Lin Yu quickly gained a foothold. The merchants who broke their contracts were replaced; those holding up the documentation process were dealt with head-on, with all the necessary paperwork and documents. Ye Feng further leveraged Old Man Zhou's network, speaking privately to those bribed by Zhao Hui who wanted to see her fail, telling them to think twice about their actions.

In just three to five days, the seemingly menacing attack was completely neutralized by the two of them.

The health and wellness center offers a return to tranquility.

However, Ye Feng knew that this was not the end.

Sure enough, on the night after the project's turmoil subsided, Ye Feng's private phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Pressing the call button, Zhao Hui's pleasant yet chilling voice came from the other end:

"Hello, Dr. Ye, how can I help you?"

"Haha! Mr. Ye truly lives up to his reputation. Such a small 'test' was met with no mercy from Mr. Ye. I'm truly impressed."

"Young Master Zhao," Ye Feng said casually, "don't beat around the bush. I don't have much time. Testing me with all these roundabout methods must be annoying for you!"

Zhao Hui chuckled softly, "That's great! Just say it then! Mr. Ye, those fools in the Li family, scheming to kill you, are, frankly, just stupid. It would be a real shame to kill such a talented person with unparalleled medical and martial arts skills!"

"What I want is your secret!"

His words, spoken slowly and deliberately, felt like being pricked by needles.

"What I want is the secret of Nirvana Mountain, the secret of your death calamity, and the secret of the Lin family's young lady who can help you overcome it!"

Ye Feng tightened his grip on the telephone with both hands!

Zhao Hui actually knew that Lin Yuqing was the "key"—something he himself had only just realized. How could Zhao Hui know?

As if sensing his surprise, Zhao Hui smiled slowly.

"Mr. Ye is puzzled as to how I knew this. Do you think that the only family in the world who knows the characteristics of 'True Extreme Yin' and 'thousand-year pure Yin' that can overcome your tribulation is Nirvana Mountain?"

"The network behind me is even older than your Nirvana Mountain." Every syllable he uttered was terrifying. "What does a thousand-year-old pure Yin look like, where is it born, and who does it reside in? These things have already been recorded on paper." The pulse of this Miss Lin had been noticed by certain people since the time she was born.

Ye Feng's eyes instantly shrank.

"Li Chongshan is nothing more than an old dog who's guarded the gate for twenty years." Zhao Hui's voice pierced the depths of one's heart like a venomous snake. "You think throwing Li Chongshan into jail will end this game? Naïve!"

"This game between us has only just begun, and it's a very, very big one! Nirvana Mountain, your sect, the origin of your fatal calamity... it involves far more than you can imagine."

"We'll meet again, soon."

"Beep—beep—beep!"

The call was interrupted!

Ye Feng held the phone for a long time without moving it, his eyes filled with an unprecedented seriousness!

Nirvana Mountain... the sect... the origin of the death calamity... the major case from twenty years ago...

Zhao Hui's words were like opening a door that I had never thought of before, yet always felt uneasy about.

Why did Ye Feng come to Dongyang to save people? Why did his master come to Dongyang?

Why should the head of the Li family be afraid when he hears the name "Nirvana Mountain"?

What was the origin of his death and his innate eccentricity?

A master who was even bigger than the Li family and more terrifying than the Zhao family finally revealed a bit of himself to him for the first time!

Ye Feng stood by the window, clenching his fist.

At this moment, he realized that the upheaval he had caused in Dongyang over the past six months was perhaps never a big deal.

All of this, from the beginning until now, may just be the beginning of a much larger war to come!

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing noticed that something was wrong with him and came to his side.

Ye Feng turned his head and looked at the woman beside him who had shared life and death with him, at her love and affection for him, and at the foundation and warmth that he had built in Dongyang over the past six months with every blade, finger, stab, and knife.

I'm protecting more and more things!

"It's nothing." Ye Feng turned off his phone, turned to shake her hand, and although a smile still lingered on his lips, a cold glint flashed in his eyes that he had never seen before. "This time, the storm is coming, and it's much bigger than ever before!"

"But..." Ye Feng gripped her hand tightly, gazing at the thick darkness outside the window, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll overcome any challenge. This time, I won't face it alone. Dongyang, the world is so vast, and this game of chess is so complex; we'll be with you to the very end!"

The night was deep, and the lights of countless homes shone gently, quietly spreading across the entire city, where undercurrents were surging.

That deadly calamity has not yet been cleared, the most powerful mastermind has not yet appeared, and that secret buried underground for more than twenty years is still deeply hidden beneath the sea.

But the love story between Ye Feng and Lin Yuqing, and the myth of their unparalleled medical and martial arts skills sweeping across Dongyang,

This is just the beginning!

And behind the seemingly refined and cultured young master Hui lies a secret manipulator holding the heavy responsibility for Dongyang's grudge from twenty years ago.

Stay tuned for the next installment!
