Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 647: Wong Qifu’s Confusion

"You... you have a point, but..." Qin Feng and Huang Zhendong still hesitated.

If Xu Ke truly was the Medical Saint's Pupil, then how was Ye Yunfeng's plan any different from ordering them to kill Wong Ting? They were both terrified of the potential retaliation.

"Right now, we can't guess why Xu Ke wants Hua Xingxue to take power, nor do we know his plan. But because of the Martial Alliance's damned rules, we have to wait a week before we can cause trouble for the Long Capital Martial Alliance..." Ye Yunfeng said with a grim face. "Wouldn't it be better to act now? We can cut the Gordian knot and just kill Xu Ke."

Ye Yunfeng knew that getting the Long Capital Martial Alliance to find an excuse to obstruct or delay Hua Xingxue's ascension would require waiting for the official process to run its course. Even if the Long Capital Martial Alliance knew what was happening, they would still have to wait dutifully for Yuan Shang to file his report. This was precisely why Ye Yunfeng had felt like cursing earlier. The Martial Alliance's inefficiency was infuriating. Nearly all its staff were complacent and rigid, inflexibly clinging to outdated procedures. Their entire work ethic deserved to be tossed in the trash.

But Ye Yunfeng himself had forgotten that if it weren't for the Martial Alliance's rigid rules, he never would have been able to pull so many stunts with Peng Hetong's help in the past.

Huang Zhendong muttered, "But what if the Medical Saint is in Tianhai? What if he's staying in Xu Ke's clinic?" He was still reluctant to take the risk.

"In Tianhai? Ha!" Overcome with fury, Ye Yunfeng laughed scornfully. "Let me ask you, if Huang Sheng was stabbed twice and you found the person who did it—someone you could crush with ease—would you still sit obediently at home? What a joke. Stay at home and you can prepare for your son's funeral!"

Ye Yunfeng refused to believe the Medical Saint was in Tianhai. If he were, how could they have ambushed Xu Ke twice without facing any consequences?

At his words, Huang Zhendong flew into a rage. "Are you cursing my son, you bastard?"

"Calm down, calm down..." Qin Feng quickly pulled him back, shaking his head. "Try to be understanding."

Qin Feng knew that for a man who had repeatedly lost a son, Ye Yunfeng would naturally be jealous of those who still had sons. It was best to let him have this small verbal victory.

Huang Zhendong understood Qin Feng's meaning. He calmed down, but was still fuming.

As if I'm the only one who's ever lost a son…

Ye Yunfeng stared at Huang Zhendong. "I'm not cursing you, I'm just giving an example."

Huang Zhendong said nothing, his expression grim.

Pretending not to notice, Ye Yunfeng continued, "So, do you think the Medical Saint is in Tianhai?"

"No," Qin Feng said with a forced laugh, mediating between the two.

"Then do you think we should just sit here and await our doom instead of promptly informing Wong Ting?" Ye Yunfeng pressed.

"Fine, I'll do as you say," Huang Zhendong said, his face still tense, though his anger had subsided. "I'll contact Wong Ting right now, but I don't know who he'll send. Don't get your hopes up. You'd better see if the Ye Family has any other experts you can call upon."

"Report everything to him. He'll know who to send," Ye Yunfeng stated. Given what he knew of Wong Ting and Yan Xuehai's attitude toward the Medical Saint, they would definitely be interested in killing Xu Ke.

After Huang Zhendong and Qin Feng left, Ye Yunfeng's expression turned exceedingly dark. He was seething with rage as he silently cursed Huang Zhendong.

That idiot! To bring up such crucial information only now, and he's still afraid of offending the Medical Saint? Is he sick in the head! It's a miracle you became the Huang Family Head. I could pick a pig at random and it would do a better job than you!

Then, it struck Ye Yunfeng that this was a perfect opportunity. He knew Xu Ke was well-protected, which was why he had been reluctant to commit his own core forces to killing him. After more than a month of being stingy, he had only lost Qiu Changyang. Even Ye Taiqing, who was sent to ambush and kill Xu Ke, wasn't one of his own men. As a result, Ye Yunfeng's own foundation had yet to take a serious hit.

However, if he wasn't willing to risk his own core forces, Ye Yunfeng had no idea where to recruit a new army to kill Xu Ke on short notice. Now, when Huang Zhendong brought up Xu Ke being the Medical Saint's Pupil, Ye Yunfeng was ecstatic. Who didn't know about the feud between the Martial Saint and the Medical Saint? By leveraging this, along with Wong Ting's hatred for his love rival, he was certain he could convince them to dispatch a powerful force to eliminate Xu Ke. Even if they failed to kill him this time, he could at least gauge the true extent of Xu Ke's trump cards.

If six masters of the Perfected Innate Realm can't kill you, what about ten, or fifteen? Xu Ke, this time, you're dead for sure!

However, as Ye Yunfeng dwelled on Xu Ke being the Medical Saint's Pupil, an odd thought suddenly surfaced.

Could it be that Yuan Shang, who was the first to find Ye Feng, would ask Xu Ke to heal him? No. That should be impossible. I checked Ye Feng's pulse myself. That aura of death is all too familiar to me, someone who deals with corpses every day. It's not something a living person could possibly exude... I must be overthinking things...

…

Wong Qifu sat by the car window, watching Xu Ke take out his phone and send a message. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you texting?"

"Shi Hongda and the Two Elders of Yin and Yang. I want to ask about the situation. I figure by now, even if they're a bit slow on the uptake, they should have realized I was the one who healed Qin Ya and Hua Xingxue," Xu Ke said.

He hadn't forgotten Chang Yi's message. With so many people connected to him making uncharacteristic recoveries, they would inevitably guess the truth unless their IQs had been forcibly lowered. In truth, Xu Ke had been proceeding cautiously and hadn't planned on revealing his identity. But now, he had to eliminate as much of the Ye Family's strength as possible before dealing with them directly, so he decided to make a dangerous gambit. Han Wang's previous plot had given him the idea to turn their own scheme against them. If they dared to come and ambush him, he would counter-ambush them, catching them like turtles in a jar.

Of course, if his opponents were too powerful, he wouldn't walk into their trap. He would just hole up in Junyue Residence and go nowhere. If the attackers were mediocre and could be eliminated without him getting hurt, Xu Ke would strike decisively and ensure none of them ever left Tianhai.

Wong Qifu raised an eyebrow. "You need to think this through. If they find out you're the Medical Saint's Pupil, the situation could spiral out of control." Her first thought was that Wong Ting and Yan Xuehai would find out.

"Don't worry. Shi Hongda and the Two Elders of Yin and Yang probably won't let me die that easily. Besides, don't I have you to back me up?" Xu Ke chuckled.

Wong Qifu said irritably, "So now you remember I can help you? Why didn't you think of that back in Sui City?"

"I was just trying to act tough, wasn't I?" Xu Ke's face was playful, but then he suddenly froze. "Wait a second..."

"What? What is it?" Wong Qifu was taken aback.

"When did you find out my master... is the Medical Saint?" Xu Ke exclaimed in shock.

I never mentioned it! How could she possibly know? After I treated Tang Yingchang and left Wang Yu's villa, I specifically told Wang Wu not to tell her my true identity yet…

Hearing this, Wong Qifu froze. A look of profound confusion appeared on her usually bright and poised face. "You... you don't actually think you've been hiding it well all this time, do you?"
