Chapter 795 - Going Home Just to Get Butchered (2/2)

“Anyway, I need to return to Shanghai and will hasten to Jiangmen Island tomorrow morning. You must get that Red Silk Flower regardless of the price. If that man really doesn’t want to sell it, however, do not push things, but stay close to him. I’ll contact you as soon as I return, and we’ll find another way later.”

“Got it.” Long Zhenglin nodded.

Tang Xiu patted his shoulder and said, “Just leave Tianjing as fast as possible. That Fourth Ma chap is kinda rotten, so don’t provoke him for now. We’ll come back and slowly clean him up after I’m done with my things.”

“Sure. I believe in your ability, Big Bro.” Long Zhenglin grinned. “Alright, less explaining and just hurry back to Shanghai then! I’ll pack my things and will rush to Qingcheng Mountain.”

“Alright!” concurred Tang Xiu as he turned and sat back in the car.

Half an hour later, when Mo Awu was driving on the highway, he glanced at the rearview mirror and reported, “Two cars have been following us for ten minutes or so, Boss.”

Tang Xiu looked back and apathetically said, “Ignore them for now. If they are from the Ma Family and dare to attack us on the way back, there’s no need to refrain.”

“Understood!” Mo Awu nodded.

However, two black SUVs behind them suddenly picked up speed, and then gradually decelerated after overtaking the car driven by Mo Awu. The two cars blocked the road in front of them on the right and left sides. Just as Mo Awu was preparing to change lanes, the window of one of the cars suddenly opened, and a stocky middle-aged man’s head poked out, waving his hand toward the back and gesturing for them to park on the roadside.

“Stop the car!” ordered Tang Xiu immediately.

Mo Awu parked the car on the roadside. He went straight to the rear door and stood. He watched the two cars stopped in front of them. After a while, four middle-aged men came over, and he talked to them indifferently, “What do you want?”

“Excuse me; is Divine Doctor Tang in the car?” asked the first middle-aged man.

“Who are you?” asked Mo Awu, pressing his brows.

“I’m Ma Jiandong of Ma Family,” replied the middle-aged man smilingly. “The Head of Ma Family, Ma Jianfeng, is my eldest brother. I was sent with a command from him to politely invite Divine Doctor Tang to visit our family. Also, eldest brother is currently on the way, and he should arrive here within half an hour.”

Tang Xiu opened the window to look at Ma Jiandong outside and lightly said, “The Ma Family invite me to visit your residence; do you perhaps want to hold a Hong Men banquet?”

Ma Jiandong clearly understood the meaning behind Tang Xiu’s word and forced a wry smile. “You’ve misunderstood it, Divine Doctor Tang. The Ma Family absolutely have no intention to murder our invited, honored guest. The reason we are inviting you is that my brother would like to apologize to you in person, in the hopes that you, in your benevolence, will forgive my nephew’s wrongdoings.”

A gleam flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes.

‘If they didn’t have a plan to hold a banquet to murder the invited guest, then why would they make such a big parade just to invite me? Could it be that the Ma Family have something they want from me? Also, this man addressed me as ‘Divine Doctor Tang’. Could it be that there’s someone ill in the Ma Family, so they need me to treat that person?’

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to be involved with the Ma Family, nor do I care about what happened,” replied Tang Xiu indifferently. “If you just want to apologize, don’t delay and waste my time.”

“Divine Doctor Tang, we… we actually would like to request something from you,” said Ma Jiandong hastily.

“Then say it. I’m in a hurry and must return to Shanghai,” said Tang Xiu.

Ma Jiandong hesitated for a while and bitterly said, “In fact, it’s about my father. He’s seriously ill, and I want to invite Divine Doctor Tang to treat and heal him. The vice chairman of Tianjing Chinese Medicine Association, Jiang Kun, is a good friend of my eldest brother’s, and he recommended you to us. He thinks you can save my father with your outstanding medical expertise.”

“I don’t have time,” Tang Xiu flatly refused.

“Please see it as a humble request of our Ma Family, Divine Doctor Tang,” Ma Jiandong pleaded. “Please save my father, for the sake of showing our filial piety to him! My eldest brother said that we are willing to pay anything as long as… you can cure my father’s illness.”

“In case I disagree, then what? You won’t let me go?” sneered Tang Xiu.

Ma Jiandong was stunned and looked hesitant for a while before he forced a bitter smile. “Divine Doctor Tang, my eldest brother did give me a death decree to keep you here no matter what. But I will kowtow to you if you want me to, as long as you can stay and wait for him to see you.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a short while and lightly said, “This is not the place to stay for a long time. Let’s just go to the service area in front! I see your filial piety, so I won’t embarrass you, rest assured!”

“Thank you! Thank you, Divine Doctor Tang!”

Ma Jiandong was overjoyed and immediately returned to the two cars in the front with the other three middle-aged men. They started the car and drove ahead.

Hongkang Highway Service Area

After waiting for 20 minutes plus, several cars arrived quickly. A group of people got out from the cars, as the Head of Ma Family, Ma Jianfeng, rushed to the front and came over to the car where Tang Xiu was riding.

“Are you… Divine Doctor Tang?”
