Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!
Chapter 791

Chapter 791: 791

"How could this happen?"

Xiang Yinglong asked angrily.

"I’m not sure," Yao Pingsheng shook his head.

Xiang Yinglong forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, his eyes flickering with a cold light.

"No, we must initiate the backup plan now."

Upon hearing the words ’backup plan,’ Yao Pingsheng twitched the corner of his eye, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"That, Minister, there is something that I haven’t had the chance to report to you yet."

"Hou Guangshou’s corpse has disappeared..."

"What???"

This completely upset Xiang Yinglong.

His eyes bulged, his face looking ferocious, and his presence was extremely terrifying.

He spoke word by word.

"What do you mean the corpse has disappeared?"

"Could the corpse have grown wings and flown away?"

Yao Pingsheng, stiff-necked, said:

"Minister, everything was done according to plan, I can confirm one hundred percent that I definitely broke Hou Guangshou’s heart meridian that day, he had no chance of surviving."

"But afterwards, his body was never discovered, never exposed..."

"I sent people to search for his body, but they didn’t find it at the place of the ambush."

"I’ve already sent people to search the surroundings, but so far... there’s been no news..."

Bang!

Xiang Yinglong slammed his fist onto the table.

He roared furiously.

"Why didn’t you report this to me earlier?"

Cold sweat seeped out on Yao Pingsheng’s forehead.

"Minister, I... I didn’t expect it would turn out this way."

"But rest assured, I have already sent more people to search, even if Hou Guangshou didn’t die on the spot, he couldn’t have gone far."

"I guess, he must have died in some hidden place..."

At this moment, Xiang Yinglong felt like punching Yao Pingsheng to death.

Before setting off, he had stressed over and over again, that there must be no mistakes.

Hou Guangshou was the deputy minister of the Haise Martial Chamber, and as the minister, plotting against the deputy minister, if this got out, his position as minister would be over.

He had thought to take out his rival while dealing with Zhou Yu, but he never expected such an incident to occur.

At this moment, he could hardly dare to imagine what the outcome would be if Hou Guangshou hadn’t died.

Calm down!

Xiang Yinglong cautioned himself in his heart; he must remain calm.

He needed to think of a response immediately, he couldn’t place all his hopes on Hou Guangshou dying in some concealed corner.

Xiang Yinglong’s brain quickly began to analyze the various possibilities of Hou Guangshou’s disappearance.

Yao Pingsheng beside him, was so scared he didn’t dare breathe.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Ten minutes passed.

Xiang Yinglong analyzed the possibilities, combining this with Zhou Yu’s calm demeanor when he was captured, and suddenly a possibility popped into his mind.

Could it be, Hou Guangshou wasn’t dead, and was saved by Zhou Yu?

If what Yao Pingsheng said was right, Hou Guangshou’s heart meridian had been shattered, and theoretically, he shouldn’t have survived. But, conveniently, Zhou Yu was highly skilled in medicine, and if he had intervened, it was very possible that he could have saved Hou Guangshou.

If that was the case, Zhou Yu being captured by the Martial Chamber wasn’t because of the capture order, but because he wanted to come.

That he voluntarily got captured, what was he planning to do?

Thinking this, Xiang Yinglong broke out in a cold sweat.

He had always thought he controlled the entire situation, but now he realized that he might already be prey in someone else’s eyes.

"No, Zhou Yu must die."

Amidst the dead silence of the room, Xiang Yinglong suddenly roared, startling Yao Pingsheng shivering.

Yao Pingsheng’s face turned pale:

"Minister, he hasn’t confessed yet? If we kill him like this, the chain of evidence will be incomplete, and it will be very troublesome..."

Xiang Yinglong’s face darkened.

"I can’t worry about that now."

"We can’t rely solely on the original plan anymore, we must think of other methods."

"But right now, there doesn’t seem to be any good methods left..." Yao Pingsheng hesitated.

Xiang Yinglong suddenly looked at Yao Pingsheng, his narrowed eyes flashing a sinister light.

"You provoke him, make him strike you."

"As long as he hurts you, that’s a severe violation of the Martial Chamber’s rules, and I can kill him outright."

Hearing this, Yao Pingsheng’s face immediately looked very ugly.

Xiang Yinglong’s plan, was to use him as bait.

He knew Xiang Yinglong too well; he was one hundred percent sure that if he really provoked Zhou Yu, Xiang Yinglong wouldn’t intervene immediately.

He would wait for Zhou Yu to kill him before he would take action.

Because of the Hou Guangshou incident, he was the only informant.

Then, by killing Zhou Yu afterwards, he could kill two birds with one stone and completely cover up this matter.

Although Yao Pingsheng understood this, he lacked the courage to confront Xiang Yinglong.

After his complexion changed several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Minister, let’s do this. Tonight, I will interrogate him overnight again. I don’t believe he can hold out against the ’Soul-Losing Bell Sound.’

Xiang Yinglong looked at Yao Pingsheng with piercing eyes, sharp as a knife.

Yao Pingsheng felt a chill down his spine.

After a long while, he finally said:

"Deputy Minister Yao, I know what you’re thinking. This situation shouldn’t have escalated to this point, but it was your mistake during the execution of the plan, so naturally, you have to bear the consequences."

"I’m only giving you one night. If he hasn’t confessed by tomorrow morning, then we’ll proceed with my plan, and there can be no further delays for any reason."

"Do you understand?"

Xiang Yinglong’s tone was extremely sinister.

Yao Pingsheng shuddered, nodding:

"Yes, Minister, I understand."

With that, Yao Pingsheng hurriedly walked out!
