Chapter 138 Shares Secured
"Forty percent?"
A wave of panic rippled through the hall. Forty percent was simply too much!
"Are you trying to bully my Murong family by jacking up the price?" Murong Xing's fury ignited, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he slammed his palm onto the table.
He had already been furious when the old TCM doctor demanded twenty percent of the shares. However, he'd tolerated it, seeing it as an opportunity to strike at Murong Meng's lineage. Now, this old fool dared to increase his demands!
Murong Meng's lineage only held twenty percent of the shares. If this old man demanded forty percent, the remaining twenty percent would have to come from them.
This old man was courting death!
The old TCM doctor's expression also turned unsightly. The Liu family was not easy to deal with. But as he thought about fleeing with the money after getting the shares, he wondered what the Murong family could do to him.
He gritted his teeth and refused to lower the price.
Just then, a sudden wail echoed through the hall.
A shout came from the side: "The old master's injuries have flared up, he's not going to make it!"
Everyone rushed over quickly.
They saw the Murong patriarch lying on the sickbed, gasping for breath, sweat the size of soybeans beading on his forehead, his old face covered in bruises.
The Murong family members were also in a panic.
"Have you all considered it?"
The old divine doctor felt a surge of joy. The Murong patriarch's internal injuries erupting at this moment was too timely.
Murong Xing gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, Murong Meng will provide twenty percent of the shares, and the rest of us will split the remaining shares!"
These shares made the Murong family members wince, and they stammered.
"Are you waiting for the old master to die? If the old master dies, you will all be finished!" Murong Xing roared at them.
The Murong family members shrunk back in fear and had no choice but to agree.
"Murong Meng, what about you?" Murong Xing looked at Murong Meng.
Murong Meng only wanted to save the old master now, so she readily agreed, "I agree."
"What a waste of time! Finding a useless person to be a divine doctor!"
"If we hadn't insisted on finding some divine doctor, we wouldn't have to pay an extra twenty percent of the shares now!"
The Murong family members directed all their anger at Murong Meng, completely oblivious.
If they hadn't been so stingy and forced Murong Meng to hand over her shares, they could have easily saved twenty percent of the shares.
"Shut up!"
Murong Xing commanded, and the Murong family members grudgingly fell silent.
Then, Murong Xing turned to the old TCM doctor and said, "Sir, the share transfer contract for the Murong family has been prepared. As long as you provide the pill to save the old master, you can sign it immediately."
"Good!"
The old TCM doctor could hardly conceal his excitement. With forty percent of the shares, he could receive more substantial compensation.
With that said, the old TCM doctor walked up to the Murong patriarch, took out the pill from the jade box, pried open the Murong patriarch's mouth, and gently placed the pill inside.
The pill melted in his mouth, instantly transforming into potent medicinal energy that surged through the Murong patriarch's limbs and bones.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the Murong patriarch's complexion, though still a little pale, gradually regained some color, and his condition stabilized.
"Quick, go check on the old master!"
Murong Xing urged the family doctor to examine the Murong patriarch.
Soon, the family doctor checked the Murong patriarch's physical condition with instruments and let out a cry of shock as if he had seen a ghost, "Miraculous! It's truly miraculous! This is an immortal pill!"
"How is the old master?" Murong Xing asked anxiously.
The family doctor took a deep breath. Although he tried to control his emotions, he still said excitedly, "Mr. Murong, the old master Murong's internal injuries have been removed. He is safe and sound. A surge of vitality is helping him recover, and he will wake up after a short rest."
Murong Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the other Murong family members also showed smiles.
Murong Meng clenched her fists, grateful that the old master was safe.
Even the old TCM doctor marveled inwardly. Although he knew the pill was very effective, he hadn't expected it to be this effective.
"Mr. Murong, can you sign the contract now?" the old TCM doctor coughed twice.
Murong Xing forced a smile, "Of course."
But he thought to himself, after signing, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!
After signing the contract, the old TCM doctor, clutching the signed document, eagerly left the Murong residence.
"Big brother, should I have someone..." As the old TCM doctor left, a member of the Murong family stared at his retreating back and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"No one can offend the dignity of the Murong family!" Murong Xing's eyes flashed with cold light.
"I'll have someone handle it right away!" The Murong family member nodded and passed on the order. After all, with the Murong family's influence, it was simple enough to find a few thugs.
...
In a brand new black Rolls-Royce.
Three people were seated: Chen Xuan, Hei Hu, and the old TCM doctor who had just been pursued. Chen Xuan had already dealt with the pursuers.
As for why Hei Hu was present, Chen Xuan had anticipated that the Murong family would not let the matter rest after he left the Murong residence early, so he had asked Hei Hu to be there for backup.
The old TCM doctor looked somewhat disheveled, a look of relief on his face after narrowly escaping. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have perished here."
Chen Xuan, sitting in the back seat, nodded lightly. The Murong family pursuing the old TCM doctor was within his expectations.
He said faintly, "You did a good job today. Hei Hu will give you a generous reward later."
The old TCM doctor showed a hint of smugness and said humbly, "There's no need. This matter was thanks to Brother Hu. If it weren't for Brother Hu, I wouldn't have dared to raise the price so arbitrarily."
Regarding the price gouging, it was naturally Chen Xuan who had sent a message to Hei Hu beforehand, and Hei Hu had then messaged the old TCM doctor. Otherwise, how would the old TCM doctor have dared to ask for forty percent of the shares?
"If Mr. Chen gives it to you, you accept it. Don't be ungrateful!" Hei Hu said fiercely from the front passenger seat.
The old TCM doctor trembled and nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes..."
Then, Hei Hu gave the old TCM doctor some instructions before preparing to arrange for him to fly abroad. Just then, another car arrived, and the old TCM doctor transferred to another vehicle, heading to the airport. Even the Murong family's reach didn't extend abroad.
"Mr. Chen, wasn't this done beautifully?" Hei Hu chuckled, seeking praise from Chen Xuan, completely different from his demeanor when reprimanding the old TCM doctor.
"It was done well." Chen Xuan smiled. Although this matter was somewhat risky and audacious, the results were quite satisfactory.
Chen Xuan looked at the forty percent contract and pondered for a moment before saying, "Find someone to deliver this share contract to Murong Meng later."
"Giving it away for free? We just got it. Murong Meng is pretty, but not worth that many shares, is she?"
Hei Hu asked nervously, afraid that Chen Xuan would be too generous and give away the shares. After all, he knew Murong Meng was a renowned beauty in Jiangzhou. Using a contract to break open a beauty's legs was indeed a tempting idea, but wasn't this too valuable?
