The leading guard shouted angrily, “You’re from Gu Family Hospital, right? You’ve gone too far! Boss Deng already said he wouldn’t default on the balance, and yet you keep coming back?”
“Seems like you people won’t learn your lesson unless we teach you one!”
With that, all the guards drew sharp daggers.
These weren’t ordinary security guards—they were underground thugs who licked blood off their blades and killed without blinking.
“BOOM!”
The next second, Ye Cang kicked out fiercely.
With a deafening crash, the lead guard was instantly blasted away like he was hit by a cannonball and smashed violently against the club’s wall.
Crack crack crack—
Cracks spread across the wall like a spiderweb, and within seconds, the wall completely collapsed, burying the guard alive.
The whole process didn’t even take one second.
Pan Min blinked, and by the time her eyes reopened, the man was already flying through the air—the speed was so fast it blurred.
Looking at the destructive force—half the floor looked like it had collapsed, dust filled the air, and someone was buried alive.
Was this even human strength?
Pan Min was completely stunned.
Ye Cang stood calmly at the side, as if he had just done something trivial, gently dusting off his clothes.
“Gulp…”
The other guards of Dark Night Club were petrified with fear.
One by one, they swallowed hard, their legs trembling.
Clang—
Even the daggers in their hands dropped to the floor.
Pan Min’s eyes flickered. She was curious to see how Ye Cang would retrieve the item.
Qin Junfei had sent her here for one purpose—to pay for and acquire the Ice Ganoderma seed from Deng Shigao.
But Pan Min had kept that detail from Ye Cang on purpose. She wanted to see how he would obtain the seed.
Just like Qin Junfei, she too wanted to see what kind of ability this man had that made the Qin Family value him.
Was this level of violence really the answer?
“You bastard! Who dares make trouble on my turf?! Tired of living?!”
Amidst a string of curses, Deng Shigao came storming over, furious.
Ye Cang asked directly, “Is the Ice Ganoderma seed in your hands?”
Whoosh—
The moment the words ‘Ice Ganoderma’ came out, Deng Shigao’s expression changed dramatically.
So that’s what he was here for? Get faster updates on g.com.
“Hand over the Ice Ganoderma seed, and I’ll take you in as my underling. You’ll make a fortune on this deal!” Ye Cang added confidently.
He was the newly appointed Su Taizi of the Qin Family!
The entire Platinum Imperial Palace was at his command.
Not just anyone had the right to be his subordinate!
But Deng Shigao was dumbfounded.
“Oh, and I heard you’ve been deliberately withholding payment? Settle that too. My underlings can’t be ruining my reputation!” Ye Cang added.
Deng Shigao was shaking with rage.
“Boss Deng, I remember now! This punk is from the Gu Family! His wife is Gu Yuyao, the CEO of Gu Family Hospital!” someone behind him suddenly shouted.
“What? He’s from the Gu Family?!”
That made Deng Shigao even more furious—his face twisted with rage, and a murderous aura surged from him.
“No wonder he brought up the debt. So you’re Gu Yuyao’s husband… The Ice Ganoderma isn’t even the real issue—it’s all about recovering the debt, isn’t it?”
Deng Shigao sneered cruelly, “Oh, now I remember. After we carved up the Gu Family back then, all they had left was that one hospital. Is that one about to go under too? Trying to survive on my unpaid debt? Hahahahaha…”
“But I have to admit, you’ve got guts. The Gu Family normally detours to avoid me, but you—a worthless piece of trash—dare to act all high and mighty on my turf?!”
He was enraged.
Completely and utterly enraged.
At first, Deng Shigao had held back because of Ye Cang’s aura, his arrogant tone, and the way he casually mentioned a rare medicinal herb like Ice Ganoderma. He assumed Ye Cang had to be from some powerful family.
But it turned out he was from the Gu Family?
Now Deng Shigao felt like he had been played for a fool.
Clap clap!
He clapped his hands.
BOOM BOOM!
All the doors of Dark Night Club slammed shut, and countless thugs wielding machetes poured in from every hallway and corridor, each one fierce and vicious.
These were his wife’s people—but she didn’t seem to be around.
“Cripple him! Then call the Gu Family and tell them to come pick up the pieces!” Deng Shigao barked.
His men immediately dialed Gu Yuyao’s number and handed the phone to him.
At that moment, Gu Yuyao had just returned to the hospital when she received the unknown call.
“Gu Yuyao, right?”
Her voice turned cold. “Who are you?”
“Already forgotten me that quickly?”
The man on the phone chuckled, “I’m the guy who still owes your family money.”
“That’s right,” he grinned, “Your husband is in my hands. If you don’t want anything bad to happen to him, bring me half of Gu Family Hospital’s shares to Dark Night Club before sundown today!”
“What?! Ye Cang is in your hands?!”
Rumble!
It felt like a bolt of lightning struck Gu Yuyao. Her face went completely pale.
“That’s right! Unless you want him missing an arm or a leg, come quickly!”
Gu Yuyao clenched her teeth, her face dark with rage and turmoil. Inside, she was burning with anger. “That useless man… even now he’s still dragging me down…”
Just as she was about to ask something else, Deng Shigao hung up.
“Yuyao, who was that?”
Gu Yuyao originally didn’t want to answer, worried that her grandfather would press further.
But Gu Zhenghong, lying in the hospital bed, had already turned to look at her, so she had no choice but to explain what happened to Ye Cang.
“What?! Xiao Cang’s in danger?!”
Gu Zhenghong shot up from the bed, trying to get down.
“Grandpa! Doctor Sun said you need strict bed rest!” Gu Yuyao rushed to stop him.
“But something’s happened to Xiao Cang—how can I rest now?” he said anxiously. “Deng Shigao wants half of Gu Family Hospital’s shares? Give it to him!”
“Grandpa, are you crazy?!”
Gu Yuyao’s face turned pale with shock. For someone like Ye Cang?
And more importantly, Deng Shigao’s unpaid debt was the reason the hospital was struggling financially. And now he was demanding half the hospital’s shares on top of that? He was clearly trying to destroy them!
Not to mention… Ye Cang had already divorced her.
He was just an outsider now.
Give up half the hospital to save him?
Impossible!
And then her mind replayed the scene of Ye Cang with Pan Min. Her face darkened even more.
She hesitated, “Grandpa… actually, Ye Cang already has someone new…”
“Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it later. Right now, nothing is more important than Xiao Cang’s safety!” Gu Zhenghong kept interrupting.
“Grandpa!!”
Gu Yuyao stomped her foot in frustration, her face flushed with anger.
“Money can be earned again. If we lose the hospital, we can rebuild. But if a person is gone—they’re truly gone!”
“Are you going or not? If not, this old man will go myself!”
He said it, and really tried to get out of bed.
Gu Yuyao finally gave in. “Fine! I’ll go, alright?!”
With teary eyes, she left the hospital in a hurry.
“Yuyao, are you really going to save your husband?”
