Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 222 - 222 Revised 222 Wrath of Thunder

222: Revised: Chapter 222 Wrath of Thunder 222: Revised: Chapter 222 Wrath of Thunder Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker, the TV started showing static, and the sound of water dripping from the bathroom grew louder.

Wu Xiaoyu stood up and positioned himself in the center of the living room.

Several kitchen knives suddenly floated out of the kitchen and flew straight towards Wu Xiaoyu’s face.

Wu Xiaoyu pinched a spell with his right hand and struck at the flying knives, which then fell to the ground one by one.

At this moment, a surge of dark energy descended upon Wu Xiaoyu’s head.

He looked up and saw a dark mass.

Following suit, Wu Xiaoyu extended his left hand and threw a Spirit Talisman at the dark energy.

The black qi instantly dispersed into wisps, drifting in the air of the living room.

Wu Xiaoyu cautiously watched the dark energy while bending down to pick up the Spirit Talisman.

As he was about to bend down, a wisp of black qi attacked his lower back.

Sensing it, Wu Xiaoyu quickly cast a spell and threw it towards his waist.

The wisp of black qi vanished immediately, and a chilling scream echoed from the living room ceiling, causing their hair to stand on end.

It seemed that this entity knew he was here to deal with it and made no effort to conceal its malevolence.

An eerie wind blew through the room, nearly causing Wu Xiaoyu to close his eyes.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaoyu was well-prepared.

He put on a pair of glasses from Zheng Xinyu and pulled out another talisman from his pocket.

He recited a spell, and the wisps of black qi in the room began to gather, reforming into a mass.

Taking advantage of the black qi’s struggle, Wu Xiaoyu hurriedly picked up the Spirit Talisman that had fallen to the ground and threw it at the black mass.

The black qi was instantly enveloped by the yellow talisman, and Wu Xiaoyu retrieved the yellow talisman, murmuring:

“You haven’t even learned any real skills, yet you’re out here doing evil.

Today, I will exorcise you!”

Recalling the method for exorcising a resentful spirit, Wu Xiaoyu took out a third Spirit Talisman, recited a spell, and threw it forcefully onto the talisman enveloping the resentful spirit.

As soon as the two talismans collided, they disintegrated.

Whether the resentful spirit was exorcised or not, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t be sure!

After completing the ritual, Wu Xiaoyu helped Zheng Xinyu tidy up the living room a bit before lying down on the sofa and falling asleep.

The next morning, Wu Xiaoyu awoke and saw Zheng Xinyu and his wife strolling on the lawn in front of the house.

He quickly opened the door and went out.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu come out, the couple looked around before following him back into the room.

“How did it go?” Zheng Xinyu asked eagerly, while his wife seemed less enthusiastic.

Wu Xiaoyu replied, “It’s all taken care of.

Everything is fine now!

If you continue to do good deeds and build good karma, nothing bad will happen again!”

Hearing this, Zheng Xinyu nodded in relief, but his wife looked as if she wanted to say something.

Wu Xiaoyu, understanding her concern, comforted her: “You don’t need to worry too much.

It has been exorcised!”

The couple took out the 160,000 yuan again and placed it in front of Wu Xiaoyu, saying, “Please accept this money, no matter what!”

“Not only did you save my son, but you also exorcised that resentful spirit for us.

We really don’t know how to thank you enough!”

If Wu Xiaoyu were to refuse again, it would seem insincere.

Besides, he had put in so much effort and helped them significantly.

Accepting this 160,000 yuan was not unreasonable, right?

“Alright then, I’ll accept it!” Wu Xiaoyu pretended to reluctantly agree.

The couple felt relieved once they saw him accept the money and then began discussing other matters with him.

Of course, what interested Wu Xiaoyu the most was Zheng Xinyu’s wife’s brother-in-law’s chain of supermarkets.

Zheng Xinyu knew he was eager to establish a sales channel for his mushroom sauce, so he gave Wu Xiaoyu his brother-in-law’s phone number and promised to put in a good word for him.

The three were chatting happily when the doorbell rang.

Zheng Xinyu’s wife opened the door to find five or six middle-aged men apologetically walking in.

Upon seeing these men, Zheng Xinyu frowned and scolded, “How are you managing things!

The after-sales service personnel are blatantly asking customers for fees!”

“If you don’t want to work, just go home!

If you can’t do this job, don’t bother coming back!”

The leader, a Mediterranean-haired man, quickly admitted, “We had a management loophole.

We will definitely review it carefully!”

The man behind the Mediterranean-head, Liu Guoqing, noticed Wu Xiaoyu sitting on the sofa and was dumbfounded.

So it was true; he really was related to Zheng Xinyu?

How could he have treated Wu Xiaoyu coldly the other day?

Being closer to him might have greatly benefited his future career!

But now, not only had he offended Wu Xiaoyu, but he also had to endure the factory director’s wrath!

Zheng Xinyu scolded these mechanical factory leaders partly because of significant management issues and the unauthorized fees from the repair workers, but also partly to repay a favor to Wu Xiaoyu.

This scene, however, made Wu Xiaoyu uncomfortable, and he quickly bid them farewell, leaving in a hurry.

Before reaching the courtyard gate, Zheng Xinyu’s driver drove up and with a smile said, “Mr.

Wu, please get in the car.

The boss asked me to take you.”

Seeing the nearby guard post, Wu Xiaoyu thought it would be troublesome to leave without Zheng Xinyu’s car, so he got in.

The driver, being around the leaders for years, knew what to ask and what not to ask.

He casually chatted with Wu Xiaoyu to prevent any awkwardness.

Before long, the driver had taken Wu Xiaoyu to the bus station.

Just as Wu Xiaoyu boarded the bus to Huilong River Town, he received a call from Huang Zhongqi.

Huang Zhongqi asked over the phone, “Brother Wu, are you still in Sacred Land County?

How about I treat you to a meal?”

Wu Xiaoyu joked, “Aren’t you in the restaurant business?

Treating me to a meal isn’t very sincere, is it?

Just tell me what’s up!”

“Well…

You mentioned raising the price of mushrooms the other day, right?

Our hotel has considered it and decided to raise it by 50%, to sixty yuan per catty.

What do you think?” Huang Zhongqi said courteously.

Wu Xiaoyu was stunned.

He had mentioned it casually the other day, even though he did want a price increase.

But he knew it wasn’t easy to get the hotel to pay more.

But Huang Zhongqi offering a price increase today seemed very unusual, didn’t it?

When something seems unusual, there’s often a reason.

Wu Xiaoyu tested the waters: “What’s going on?

Have you had a change of heart?”

Huang Zhongqi laughed awkwardly and hesitated before asking, “Are you very familiar with…

Zheng Xinyu?”

It suddenly dawned on Wu Xiaoyu that it was because he was seen having dinner with Zheng Xinyu the other day that led to this situation now.

They were ostensibly offering a price increase but were really trying to curry favor with Zheng Xinyu.

Wu Xiaoyu straightforwardly said, “I’m not that close with him.

We just met once!”

The more he said this, the more Huang Zhongqi believed they were close.

Huang Zhongqi coughed slightly and said, “Uh!

No problem, I was just asking casually, don’t worry about it!”

“Alright, I still have something to do, I’ll hang up first,” Wu Xiaoyu didn’t want to use Zheng Xinyu to gain any unearned advantages.

Huang Zhongqi laughed, “Alright, you go ahead!

Don’t forget, the mushroom price has increased to sixty-one yuan per catty!”

Before hanging up, Huang Zhongqi mentioned the mushroom price, which made Wu Xiaoyu feel slightly disdainful.

What kind of people are these?

Do you really have to cling to the powerful in the business world?
