Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 453: Chapter 481: Just Small Money (Third Update)

"Bang!" A sound came from outside.

Everyone in the hall, except Bai Bing, was wide-eyed and incredulous.

Especially Chen Bainan, as he spent a lot of money on these two bodyguards, who were considered among the top in the bodyguard company.

"You, you, you..."

Looking at Lin Xi walking over, Chen Bainan couldn’t help but take a step back, as if he’d seen a ghost. At this moment, he finally recognized Lin Xi.

"Aren’t you dead?"

"You wish I were dead?" Lin Xi retorted.

"No, no, no, I absolutely didn’t mean that!" Chen Bainan shook his head hurriedly.

"Then why aren’t you moving aside!" Lin Xi said.

At this moment, the last bodyguard beside Chen Bainan couldn’t hold back anymore. His combat power was at the special forces level, much stronger than the previous two.

The disheveled young man dared to hit his people and even threatened his employer — did he think nothing of him?

The next moment, he couldn’t help but step forward, intending to block Chen Bainan, but as soon as he was about to raise his hand, Chen Bainan pulled him back without any explanation, pushing him to the side.

Chen Bainan also stepped aside because he knew Lin Xi’s prowess, far beyond what his bodyguard could handle.

Lin Xi walked between Chen Bainan and his subordinate, while those major shareholders were clearly seasoned foxes; seeing the unfavorable situation, they moved aside early, even ahead of Chen Bainan.

Master Bai and Bai Zhenyang looked suspiciously, as if this young man seemed familiar, but couldn’t immediately recall.

Bai Bing’s mother Yu Cheng and brother Bai Xingye did recognize Lin Xi, but internally wondered why he came? Could he be of any help?

But upon noting Lin Xi’s appearance, any thought was instantly dismissed.

"Kid, stop, who are you?" Though shocked by the youth’s apparent combat prowess, Bai Zhenyang stepped forward to block him.

After all, behind him were his wife and children, as well as his father, all powerless.

Bai Bing felt both anger and joy inside — angry that this scoundrel was fine yet returned only after so many days, and why he had to show off by falling into a ravine; joyful to see the living Lin Xi again — survival was above everything.

She had pondered over these days, if Lin Xi died, would she mourn for him, stay a widow forever!

The answer was, with her personality, ninety-nine percent would.

Because she had fallen for him, and she was already his, her heart couldn’t accommodate any other man.

But now was not the time for dazing, she stood up and told Bai Zhenyang, "Dad, he’s Lin Xi."

"Lin Xi?"

Bai Zhenyang rubbed his head, puzzled, taking a careful look at Lin Xi.

Seems like it really is!

Isn’t this kid a master in Chinese medicine, someone even the ’Divine Doctor’ Zhang Huacheng wants to apprentice under?

How did he end up like this after merely ten days?

Even Master Bai, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t resist standing up, somewhat unable to believe the disheveled youngster before him was Lin Xi.

"Young friend, what happened to you?" He couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Xi smiled, "Nothing much, don’t worry, Master Bai."

"Good to hear nothing’s wrong..."

Master Bai’s expression clearly showed disbelief, but Lin Xi didn’t mind.

"Are you really okay?" Bai Bing asked suspiciously, showing a hint of concern; she knew Lin Xi had fallen off a cliff, and she had checked that the cliff was at least a hundred meters high.

"Truly okay." Lin Xi, seeing Bai Bing’s thin face, couldn’t help but feel some heartache, "Come home with me, I’ll cook something nice for you!"

"Oh." Bai Bing nodded instinctively, but upon realizing it wasn’t right, she quickly said, "Not yet, there’re matters to handle."

"Is it about money?"

"Yes."

Seeing Bai Bing’s obedient demeanor, Master Bai sighed deeply; it seemed his granddaughter had fallen for this lad, while her mother Yu Cheng felt happy for Bai Bing — she didn’t care if Lin Xi was rich or not, or had status or not, as long as he was good to her daughter.

As for Bai Zhenyang and Bai Xingye, they had such low emotional intelligence that they couldn’t detect any abnormality despite it being obvious.

Lin Xi had heard part of the conversation outside, so at this moment he looked at Chen Bainan, but before he could speak, Chen Bainan quickly said,

"Lin Xi, this is a normal competitive relationship in the marketplace, and it’s all legal and compliant; you can’t force me to do anything!"

"If the Bai family has the capability, they can bring forth money, and I believe it can overcome the crisis!"

"If they can’t bring the money, then it can’t be blamed on us for being ruthless; business itself is ruthless, so don’t blame us, we did nothing wrong!"

As he said this, the other major shareholders beside him nodded in agreement; this was indeed the truth.

Moreover, they gave Brother Bai face; otherwise, they wouldn’t have lasted this month — knowing that in this month, they would earn quite a sum.

Of course, if even the month’s maintenance money couldn’t be gathered, then there would be no hope thereafter, and they certainly wouldn’t engage in hopeless matters.

"What happens if you can’t bring the money?" Lin Xi turned to ask Bai Bing.

Bai Bing’s face didn’t look good, "The Bai family’s enterprise will be renamed Chen!"

"Chen?" Lin Xi muttered under his breath, which frightened Chen Bainan beside, fearing Lin Xi might beat him up in a rage.

However, the next moment, Lin Xi asked Bai Bing, "Emmy International too?"

"Yes!" Bai Bing nodded.

"Seems like intervention is a must!" Lin Xi thought to himself.

Emmy International had already been considered his possession, how could he tolerate others meddling?

So Lin Xi asked, "How much money do you still need now? Maybe I could help!"

"You?" Bai Bing was skeptical.

She knew that the eighty million in Lin Xi’s card last time was almost all spent by her; did he have private savings? But how much could it be?

While Bai Bing thought this, the Bai family felt Lin Xi was a bit dreaming.

Given his current situation, how much could he possibly help?

Ten thousand?

Or a hundred thousand?

But even a million was insignificant compared to the seven or eight hundred million needed.

Chen Bainan thought likewise, and he had investigated Lin Xi more than the Bai family had — he knew Lin Xi was a countryside lad who probably couldn’t even gather ten thousand.

"You don’t believe me?" Lin Xi didn’t mind the gazes of others, and asked back.

Bai Bing was a bit embarrassed; she didn’t want to embarrass Lin Xi in front of so many people, but given his manner, if she didn’t say something, it would be awkward, so she reluctantly mentioned a ballpark figure, "Much more than last time I borrowed from you!"

"How much is that?" Lin Xi asked.

Lin Xi’s face didn’t change upon hearing this, and Bai Bing couldn’t help hoping a bit, "Eight hundred million!"
