One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

"Yes, that should be the case. Even if he wanted to investigate you, he could only find out that your identity is highly confidential. He couldn't possibly gain anything else. I'm very certain of that!"

Xu Xiang nodded.

"By the way, I'm taking the baby back to Sichuan in a few days. I left some things there, and I'll probably be back in a couple of days!"

Chen Qi casually mentioned it.

"Really? Then you should go and come back soon. As for Zhang Chulan, I'll have Xu Si keep an eye on A-Wu for a couple of days!"

Xu Xiang's eyes flickered upon hearing this, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said to Chen Qi:

"Chen Qi, headquarters has assigned you a mission. Go to Luzhong tomorrow. This is the target; he needs to be alive. After you succeed, contact the person in charge in Luzhong, and they will send someone to escort the target!"

Xu Xiang handed a photo to Chen Qi.

"Headquarters? Was this arranged by Chairman Zhao?"

Chen Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, then took the photo and looked at it.

The photo shows a woman with short orange hair, a calm and confident expression, a typical mature and sophisticated woman.

Chapter Fifteen: The Turbulent Life of Doctor Du Rou!

"Yes, you need to be careful with this target. If you want, you can ask the local manager for support. This is the first time headquarters has assigned you a mission, so you must take it down quickly and efficiently!"

Xu Xiang then handed the target's information to Chen Qi.

"A genius surgeon with a 100% success rate, deemed...not an extraordinary being?"

Chen Qi's expression flickered after reading the information.

"Lu Zhong's temporary worker went to deal with this target two days ago, but failed. He is still in the hospital, and the female doctor performed the surgery herself. Because the situation is unclear, Lu Zhong has not taken any action for the time being after confirming that the temporary worker's life is safe!"

Xu Xiang said.

"What? Dad, all the temporary workers at Luzhong have been caught? That mission must be very dangerous. How about we send some people from our side, along with the baby, to go together?"

Upon hearing this, Xu San and Xu Si immediately spoke nervously.

"If Chen Qi can't handle it, there's no point in us going, but the company's assessment of this female doctor is absolutely correct!"

Xu Xiang waved his hand.

"That's strange. I'm leaving tomorrow!"

Chen Qi wasn't too worried.

Because Chen Qi knew who this female doctor was.

"A life of turmoil? I wonder if it will affect me? My great serpent body has never been sick before..."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

"Chen Qi, you're an old hand, I'm not worried about you, but this situation is strange. If it's not safe, saving your life is the most important thing!"

Xu Xiang said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I'm going back to take a shower and rest. Remember to wake me up tonight, Si'er!"

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he turned and left the room.

"Take a bath? I remember that Brother Qi's superpower is very peculiar; his body never gets dirty, so he doesn't need to take a bath, right?"

Xu San was puzzled.

"Third Brother, you should come out and have fun with us more often. After all these years, don't you know Brother Qi? He's gone back to pick out clothes and put on perfume!"

Xu Si smiled.

"Third brother, allocate 10 yuan to the Tianxia Society. It's better not to owe them such small favors!"

Xu Xiang gave the instructions.

"Okay, Dad!"

Xu San nodded.

. . . . . .

Two days later

Lu Zhong

Chen Qi had just entered a hospital carrying a bag of fruit when he received a WeChat message from Xu Xiang.

"Chen Qi, Lu Zhong has sent supplementary information about the target. Don't make her your target yet. She has a peculiar destiny. Getting close to her is fine, but you can't get close to her just to find her. For example, you can approach her colleagues or friends, but you can't approach her just for the sake of finding her, otherwise strange things will happen..."

Xu Xiang explains the supplementary information during the landing.

"understood!"

After replying, Chen Qi carried the fruit and asked at the hospital reception before arriving at the cardiac surgery ward in the inpatient department.

At the same time, the target woman in the white coat was spotted at a glance in the corridor.

"A life of turmoil, Du Rou..."

Chen Qi glanced at the mature woman twice.

"Excuse me, doctor, do you know where private room number 32 is?"

Chen Qi stepped forward to inquire, while keeping a close eye on his own physical condition.

"Patient number 32? Has someone finally come looking for him?"

Du Rou turned around and looked Chen Qi up and down, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm his friend. Your hospital contacted me!"

Chen Qi quickly waved the bag in his hand.

"Perfect timing! I'm making my rounds and just heading to his room. Come with me!"

After nodding, Du Rou walked directly towards room number 32. Apart from glancing at Chen Qi a few times at the beginning, she didn't look at him again.

This is quite incredible in Chen Qi's experience.

With Chen Qi's temperament and perfect appearance, he is incredibly dazzling in the eyes of both ordinary people and those with supernatural abilities.

Ordinary people might just think Chen Qi is handsome, perfect, and out of place with those around him.

However, the strange man could clearly feel a strange sense of oppression emanating from Chen Qi.

Besides Feng Baobao, Du Rou is the second person who could ignore Chen Qi to this extent on their first meeting.

"Thank you doctor!"

Chen Qi snapped out of his daze and quickly followed, while carefully observing her from behind.

This mature woman always had a calm smile on her lips. She wore high heels and a short skirt, with a white coat over her shoulders, and walked at a leisurely pace.

However, he exudes an aura of confidence.

In Chen Qi's eyes, this aura was so outwardly projected that it seemed tangible, forming a kind of domain around her.

This was the first time Chen Qi had ever seen something like this. In fact, only Chen Qi could see this kind of destiny domain on Du Rou.

"Indeed, no wonder they said breaking her curse was simple—just deliberately make her surgery fail once. So that's how it is. Her fate is probably not innate, but acquired..."

For some reason, Chen Qi was very certain of his judgment.

It was as if Chen Qi was born with the ability to understand the situation of this turbulent life.

"We're here. His condition is stable. I've perfectly repaired his heart muscle... Oh, you're awake?"

After Du Rou led Chen Qi inside, they found a strong, cold-looking man with a sharply defined face sitting on the hospital bed.

There were also various electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring instruments around him.

"..."

The man turned his head and first glanced at Du Rou with a frightened look, then focused his gaze on Chen Qi.

The moment the man saw Chen Qi, his pupils contracted slightly, his eyes became filled with surprise and uncertainty, and his muscles tensed up.

"Hmm, your heart rate is normal, and all your indicators have fully recovered. You're the fastest recovering I've ever seen. It seems you'll be discharged soon. Be thankful you collapsed in front of me when you had the attack, though I've seen this kind of thing many times..."

After calmly examining the man's instruments, the female doctor, Du Rou, turned and walked out the door.

Throughout the entire process, the man allowed the female doctor, Du Rou, to do as she pleased, his gaze remaining fixed on Chen Qi without ever looking away.

"Your friend is here to visit, so I won't disturb your reunion. Remember to have one more comprehensive check-up before you are discharged!"

Before leaving, Du Rou glanced curiously at Chen Qi and the man, then closed the door behind her.

"..."

The room fell silent.

"Shua~!"

next moment

The man on the hospital bed suddenly sprang up and rushed in front of Chen Qi with incredible speed, slapping him across the face.

"God's finger!"

Chen Qi remained calm, and two fingers of his right hand had appeared in front of the man's palm at some point, as if he had been waiting there to receive the man's hand.

The speed and technique of this move caused a flash of astonishment in the man's eyes.

next moment

"Crack~!"

The man's palm struck Chen Qi's fingers, but his entire body froze in place in a strange way.

A milky-white, thin, cicada-wing-like energy disc appeared between the palm and fingers and then shattered instantly.

Chapter Sixteen: The Showdown, and the Shocked Black Pipe!

"Uh..."

The man was then thrown high into the air by a force, and then felt a strange power instantly sweep over his body.

"Pfft~!"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, focused his energy in his dantian, and landed steadily on the ground, staring at Chen Qi with extreme vigilance.

"You're the first person to catch my divine finger on the very first try!"

Chen Qi spoke calmly.

The Divine Finger deflects the opponent's force many times over, and this deflection is applied directly to the opponent's entire body after a slight delay.

In other words, the force of the rebound is unavoidable, and the heavier the strike, the greater the rebound power.

There are two reasons why the man was able to catch Chen Qi's divine finger but only coughed up blood.

First, the man's slap was just a test; he didn't use much force.

Secondly, the man's body was also very tough and strong, seemingly due to some kind of external martial arts training.

"who are you?"

The man stared intently at Chen Qi.

This man was Lu Zhong's temporary worker, nicknamed "Black Pipe".

"No comment. I can only say that I work for the company and was ordered by headquarters to take away the target, Du Rou!"

Chen Qi said calmly.

"Someone from the company?"

Hearing this, the clarinet player was taken aback, but did not lower his guard. Instead, he said:

"Since you're with the company, you don't need to worry about this female doctor. She's my target!"

"You failed. Now she's my target!"

Chen Qi said without any politeness.

"who are you!"
