Chapter 247: I’ll Be Arrogant Too

Just as she reached the door, she was stopped by two plainclothes officers.

"Ma’am, I suspect you’re going to buy a hammer to retaliate against that female lawyer. You’re coming with us!"

Lin Zhongxue was also very frustrated. "Can’t I just take my shopping basket to the supermarket to buy groceries and cook for my son and daughter?"

As she spoke, she began to tremble and looked as if she was about to fall. The plainclothes officers quickly backed away.

"I’m warning you, I’m just trying to keep you from going out. I haven’t done anything to you, so don’t you dare try to scam us!"

Just then, Chen Qingdi walked out and looked at the two plainclothes officers.

"Who told you to keep such a tight watch here?"

The plainclothes officers remained silent, so Chen Qingdi took out his phone and made a call.

"I’m asking who’s in charge of the Qingjiang Road area. My godmother was indiscriminately stopped while trying to go grocery shopping. What are you people trying to do? And what crime have I committed?"

The voice on the other end of the line was slightly fawning.

"Lord Imperial Physician, which blind fool dared to block your path? Hand the phone to him, I’ll speak with him!"

Chen Qingdi handed the phone to one of the officers. "Your superior wants you to take the call."

The officer took the phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end.

"Captain Zhao!"

"What are you doing? Who gave you the gall to obstruct the Lord Imperial Physician?"

The officers nearly pissed their pants in fear. "He’s just some old lady’s godson named Chen Qingdi! Nobody told us he was the Emperor’s Physician!"

"You bastards! I don’t care who ordered you to do this, get your asses back here right now! Anyone who dares to linger there can forget about keeping their job!"

When the two plainclothes officers looked at Chen Qingdi again, their expressions had changed completely.

"You... you really are the Lord Imperial Physician?"

Chen Qingdi looked at them. "My adoptive mother wants to go grocery shopping. What law has she broken?"

"None at all, none at all! It was all a misunderstanding. We won’t disturb her any longer. We’ll be on our way, on our way!"

Scared out of their wits, the men scrambled away and fled back to the public security bureau.

Lin Zhongxue was no ordinary old lady. On the contrary, she had worked for a prominent family and knew much about the upper echelons of society. She possessed a certain noble bearing herself and was not surprised by the scene.

"Qingdi, you wait at home. I’ll go buy some groceries and come right back."

"Godmother, you shouldn’t live in this rented apartment anymore. You should come back with me to the Yuding Mountain Villa."

Lin Zhongxue was reluctant to agree.

Chen Qingdi added, "The developers are very powerful right now. I’m afraid they’ll make a move against you when I can’t be here to protect you. The safest solution is to move in with me. Please, don’t give me cause to worry."

After hearing this, and with further persuasion from her daughter, she finally had no choice but to agree and followed Chen Qingdi back to the Yuding Mountain Villa.

At the villa, Mrs. Wen and her two daughters had been waiting with bated breath. They were overjoyed to see Chen Qingdi return.

Then, Mrs. Wen said to Lin Zhongxue, "Please, stay here. There’s no hurry to move until the new house is ready!"

Chen Qingdi instructed Ye Shiqi to protect his family members in the house. As for the apartment his godmother had bought, he beat his chest and swore he would get it back for her, no matter what!

He then made another call. Before long, several helicopters were heading for his villa’s helipad.

The twelve Great Guardians of Medical God Island lined up in a row and spoke to Chen Qingdi with the utmost respect.

"Lord Imperial Physician, please board the helicopter!"

Chen Qingdi turned his head and asked Chen Yuan, "Have you found out which law firm that Yang Anna works for?"

"Yes, the Qian Guangming Law Firm on Justice Road!"

Chen Qingdi gave a cold command. "Let’s go to the Qian Guangming Law Firm."

The helicopters lifted into the air and soon landed in front of the law firm.

The security guards next to the building saw the helicopters approaching and began to tremble. They quickly informed the firm’s president, the esteemed lawyer Qian Guangming.

Qian Guangming saw the spectacle as well. He had no idea why these bodyguards, armed to the teeth and arriving in helicopters, had come to his firm. A cold sweat was already beading on his forehead.

He hurried out to greet them.

The helicopters had landed, and surrounded by twelve bodyguards, a young man in a sharp suit stepped out.

A single glance from the young man was enough to make the lawyer Qian Guangming hold his breath in terror and take several steps back.

Chen Qingdi smiled contemptuously but showed no intention of speaking to Qian Guangming. He turned to look at Chen Yuan instead.

Chen Yuan was now his Great Guardian and chief attendant.

"Is the lawyer Yang Anna from your firm in?"

Qian Guangming asked cautiously, "Excuse me, my lord, how have we offended you?"

Chen Qingdi turned his face away, ignoring him completely.

Chen Yuan snorted. "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to my master?"

If it were an ordinary person, Qian Guangming would have a thousand ways to sue them into bankruptcy.

But seeing that this man’s aura was ten thousand times stronger than his own, he lost his nerve.

"May I ask what your master is called?"

Chen Yuan brandished a token from Medical God Island. "Do you recognize this?"

Anyone with a modicum of social standing had heard of Medical God Island. They knew it was a sacred place of medicine, and they knew that the Emperor’s Physician, Chen Qingdi, was the number one Divine Physician of the current age.

"Is... is it the Lord Imperial Physician who has graced us with his presence?"

Chen Yuan snorted. "The Lord Imperial Physician has some business he’d like to entrust to your law firm. Can you handle it?"

Qian Guangming bowed and scraped. "It is our honor to serve the Lord Imperial Physician!"

Chen Yuan snorted again. "The lawyers at your firm are quite arrogant, aren’t they? Daring to bribe investigators to tail the Lord Imperial Physician’s adoptive mother, Elder Lady Lin, and even trying to have her thrown in jail!"

With a THUD, Qian Guangming fell to his knees in terror.

"This humble one truly didn’t know! Who would dare to look down on the Lord Imperial Physician’s adoptive mother?"

Chen Yuan snorted. "Bring out the lawyer Yang Anna and her bodyguards!"

Hiding inside the law firm, the great lawyer Yang Anna had already heard the commotion outside. When she heard that the old woman she had offended was actually the adoptive mother of the Lord Imperial Physician from Medical God Island, she knew she had kicked a steel plate!

Terrified, she hid under a desk in the law office, shivering uncontrollably.

Just then, Qian Guangming’s assistant walked in.

"Where is Yang Anna? The Lord Imperial Physician summons you!"

Finally, hearing chattering teeth from under a desk, the assistant lost his patience. He ordered a few security guards to drag Yang Anna out and haul her downstairs.

Seeing the guards armed with loaded weapons, Yang Anna’s legs gave out, and with a THUD, she collapsed to her knees at Chen Qingdi’s feet.

Chen Qingdi took several steps back, still disdaining to speak to her.

Chen Yuan snorted. "I hear your bodyguards wanted to frisk the Lord Imperial Physician’s adoptive sister. And that you then bribed investigators to handcuff her entire family and haul them away? Who do you think you are, to be so arrogant?"
