Chapter 216 - Man-made Disaster The Ninth Wave Erupts

Following Kou Jing down the stairs, Kou Zhonghua was lying leisurely on a recliner in the backyard, a smile blossoming on his face, and God knew what he was pondering.

Upon seeing his granddaughter and Ye Haochuan coming down together, Kou Zhonghua said with a smile, “Why don’t you two spend a little more time being affectionate in the room?”

What affectionate moments?

It made it sound like they had a thing going on.

Kou Jing stomped her foot lightly and said, “Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?

He and I are just colleagues.”

Stroking his beard, Kou Zhonghua smiled and said nothing, obviously not buying it.

Ye Haochuan wiggled his eyebrows and said, “Exactly, exactly, Old Master Kou, Dr.

Kou and I are just colleagues.

Don’t overthink it, Old Man!

Although I, Ye Haochuan, am a bit shameless, I could never do such scandalous and indecent things.”

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

What “scandalous and indecent”?

Kou Jing really wished she could kick him to death, but her grandpa was quite protective of him, laughing heartily, “All right, all right, stop your bickering.

Get going to school for work.

If you are late, you won’t make it on time.

Jingjing, I’m not going anywhere tonight, so just make do with driving that old clunker of mine, to save time calling a car.”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Kou Jing nodded.

“Okay, Grandpa.” Ye Haochuan echoed a similar sentiment.

Kou Jing immediately realized what was happening and glared at him annoyedly, her foot flying towards him in a kick.

However, Ye Haochuan just grinned and quickly dodged.

At this moment, Kou Zhonghua also realized what was happening and laughed heartily, “Good, very good, I guess even this old man will have to change his address.”

Kou Jing hurriedly chided, “Grandpa, he’s messing around, why are you joining in on the mischief?”

Watching his granddaughter show a rare blush of shyness, Kou Zhonghua felt delighted, and jokingly said, “Jingjing, from my standpoint, I’m at least two generations above Haochuan, right?

Shouldn’t he be calling me ‘Grandpa’?”

Kou Jing was speechless.

She had realized that her grandpa, who always doted on her, now took a liking to Ye Haochuan and wanted to matchmake her with him.

But could such matters of the heart be arranged like that?

After leaving Kou’s Clinic, Ye Haochuan and Kou Jing, each preoccupied with their thoughts, got into Kou Zhonghua’s car.

It had to be said that this Chery sedan did look a bit antique, but its high-end performance was still quite impressive.

Whoo-whoo-whoo…

Kou Jing seemed to be holding in quite a bit of frustration, and without waiting for him to buckle his seatbelt, she slammed on the gas pedal.

The high-performance sedan instantly shot off like a whirlwind onto the road, heading towards the school…

At this very moment, in the Tianxiang Villa District, at Yang Xue’s home.

Yang Xue, who had just been snubbed by Ye Haochuan, stormed into the house and sat down on the living room sofa in a fury.

Seeing their mistress’s mood, all the servants in the house were silent as cicadas in winter, none daring to utter a word and upset her further.

Right then, the door at the entrance hall opened, and a square-faced middle-aged man walked in with a grim expression.

The square-faced middle-aged man was none other than Yang Xue’s husband, Xiao Ding and Xiao Haimei’s father, Xiao Feng, the CEO of Xiao Group.

Following behind him were several hawk-nosed foreigners, who were the Western medical experts he had spent a fortune to bring in from overseas.

Just now, it was Xiao Feng who had personally gone to the airport to welcome these world-class Western medical experts who were going to treat his son’s ailment.

“Husband, you’re back,” Yang Xue said as she rose to greet him.

Xiao Feng nodded with an authoritative air, “How’s our son doing?”

“I’ve only just returned too.

I don’t know about his condition yet,” Yang Xue replied.

“You just got back too?” Xiao Feng was taken aback.

“Mm.” Yang Xue nodded.

Worried about her son’s hidden ailment, she had no mind to speak further and promptly invited the Western medical specialists into her son Xiao Ding’s bedroom.

At that moment, Xiao Ding sat slumped against the wall on the floor, completely devoid of his usual arrogance and bullying demeanor.

He looked listless, his hair a tangled mess—a clear sign of his drastic change in demeanor since Yin Haochuan had imposed the restriction on him.

“Get out, all of you get out!” When Xiao Ding saw people entering, he didn’t even bother to ask who they were and exploded in anger.

After all, a mother’s heart is connected to her child’s.

Yang Xue, seeing this, was heartbroken.

She stepped forward to comfort him, and only after a while was she able to soothe Xiao Ding.

Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to have the Western medical specialists examine his son and also called in two bodyguards to restrain his son, to prevent him from losing control and lashing out violently.

The two bodyguards pinned Xiao Ding down.

Then, one of the Western medical specialists pulled down Xiao Ding’s pants and used various advanced medical instruments to conduct an examination, only to finally shake his head, indicating they were powerless to help.

The other Western medical experts stepped forward one by one to examine him, reaching the same conclusion—they too were powerless.

It goes without saying, as soon as Xiao Ding heard the outcome, he fell into a frenzy again, gritting his teeth and intermittently shouting Ye Haochuan’s name.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng was prepared.

He had the two bodyguards remain to restrain his son, while Yang Xue stayed to comfort him as much as possible.

After coming out of the room, Xiao Feng talked with the Western medical specialists for a while.

Learning that his son’s nervous system had died, and they were indeed powerless, Xiao Feng had no choice but to send them off disappointedly from the villa.

Upon his return, Yang Xue approached him, soon voicing her indignation about the snub she’d received at Kou’s Clinic.

“Ye Haochuan again?” Xiao Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light as he snorted heavily.

Indeed, he was the prospective successor of the formidable Xiao Group, exuding an air of authority in every move he made.

It was fortunate that Yang Xue was his wife, as she had grown accustomed to it; otherwise, it might not have been easy to bear.

“That’s right, it was him.

But I curse that kid, his martial arts are too formidable.

My dozen or so bodyguards, in less than ten seconds, were all taken down by him.

I didn’t even see how he struck!”

Yang Xue said through gritted teeth.

“What?

In less than ten seconds, he took down all your bodyguards?

Are you kidding me?”

Xiao Feng said in shock.

Yang Xue then briefly retold the process.

“Hearing you say this, that kid is simply too abnormal.

All those bodyguards of yours, they’re all ex-Special Forces from the army, yet he dealt with them effortlessly?”

Xiao Feng looked gravely serious, then suddenly muttered to himself, “Perhaps, only those Mysterious Experts could rival him.”

Yang Xue looked puzzled and asked, “What Mysterious Experts?”

Xiao Feng spoke solemnly, “Do you remember the bizarre incident that shook the world around Haishan University half a year ago when our son was still serving as the chairman of the university?”

Yang Xue nodded, her face showing traces of fear, “Of course, I remember.

We were visiting our son at the school back then, and suddenly chaos erupted on the streets, it felt like the end of the world.”

After a pause, Yang Xue continued, “If those Mysterious Experts hadn’t appeared in time, using their strength to block the flying boulders and save us, we probably would have had no place to bury ourselves.”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Feng’s expression darkened, and he involuntarily recalled the terrifying scenes from that day, which could be described with phrases like “earth-shattering,” “boulders flying,” and “sand filling the sky.”

After a moment, Xiao Feng spoke with a serious tone: “At that time, there were several Mysterious Experts around me.

I overheard part of their conversation and realized that terrifying scene wasn’t a natural disaster, but man-made.”
