Chapter 172 The Emperor of Country A Makes His Appearance
A large, well-defined hand suddenly appeared and blocked Gu Chen's hand.
Twist it again with all your might!
With a "crack," the hand bones were definitely dislocated.
The one who made the move was none other than Qin Yeting.
As soon as he entered, he saw his wife being "taken advantage of," and without saying a word, he rushed over and stopped Gu Chen's hand.
Gu Chen was also a ruthless person. Even though his hand was injured, he didn't utter a sound. He just frowned and pulled his hand back from Qin Yeting's grasp.
Then, he used his other free hand to treat himself with one hand.
With another "click," Gu Chen successfully reattached his hand bone.
"Young Master Qin, if you launch a sneak attack like this again, I'll sue you for personal assault," Gu Chen said with a forced smile.
Qin Yeting ignored him and coldly retorted, "If you dare touch my wife again, I'll chop off your hand!"
"A wife-protecting maniac? So it seems that yesterday's car accident involving the eldest young master of the Bai family was your doing?" Gu Chen questioned directly.
Just then, Bai Mudan also entered the council hall.
Hearing the conversation, she ran over to hear what happened next.
Xia Yue secretly tugged at Qin Yeting's sleeve, indicating that regardless of whether he did it or not, he couldn't admit it in public, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.
Qin Yeting was not stupid and would not fall for Gu Chen's provocation.
So he said ambiguously, "Guess?"
"I bet it was you. Do you dare admit it?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, this time going straight to the point.
Bai Mudan looked at Qin Yeting with a tense expression, her face filled with sorrow.
She liked this outstanding man and didn't want to admit that he had hurt her own brother.
If it really was Qin Yeting who did it, the Bai family and Qin Yeting would become enemies, and she would never have another chance to marry this man.
Please, you must deny it.
Bai Mudan was head over heels in love, screaming wildly in her heart.
"I did it." A voice suddenly interrupted the conversation.
Xia Yue spoke up, taking the blame for the trouble.
She continued provocatively, "But your Bai family will never find any evidence in your entire life."
After speaking, Xia Yue slightly raised her chin and looked at Bai Mudan with disdain.
She couldn't let Qin Yeting be caught doing anything wrong.
Since the Bai family suspects her anyway, and she's a sworn enemy of the Feng family, she might as well take the blame herself.
"You bitch! I knew it was you! I will never let you get away with this!" Bai Mudan finally found an outlet for her anger and roared at Xia Yue.
But as soon as she finished cursing, she was slapped across the face.
It was Gu Chen who made the move.
He wouldn't allow anyone to bully the woman he loved in front of him.
Bai Muyang's car accident was arranged by Qin Yeting. He injured his leg, but it was Qin Yeting who secretly arranged for the doctor to make it completely useless.
He checked the hidden surveillance footage near the abandoned factory after he abandoned Xia Yue that day and discovered that Xia Yue was almost bullied by Bai Muyang, but fortunately Feng Yao appeared in time.
He had held a grudge against this person, and yesterday was the perfect opportunity to get revenge.
"Young Master Gu... why did you hit me?" Bai Mudan was dumbfounded. Gu Chen was on good terms with her brother, so she thought Gu Chen was on her side.
"You're too noisy," Gu Chen said, offering only a perfunctory explanation.
Bai Mudan's tears streamed down her face. She felt extremely wronged, but she dared not defy Gu Chen.
Qin Yeting glanced at Gu Chen, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Although he disliked Bai Mudan, he felt it was beneath him to physically assault a woman; he would only do such a thing when he was insane.
"It's getting late, His Majesty will be here soon, everyone please take your seats." Feng Yao came out to maintain order.
This is the imperial palace, the territory of the new emperor.
Everyone has to give His Majesty face.
Everyone returned to their seats.
Bai Mudan covered her face and deliberately sat in a conspicuous spot, wanting the new emperor to see her miserable state as soon as he entered, so that he could vent his anger and punish Xia Yue.
After all, the new emperor was, in a sense, her cousin.
Unfortunately, Bai Mudan's wishful thinking backfired.
Everything here was being monitored and transmitted back to His Majesty the Emperor of Country A in its entirety via surveillance cameras.
His Majesty the Emperor had no interest in the matter of Bai Mudan; his gaze was drawn to Xia Yue.
"Is this the Divine Physician X, Master Yi's most outstanding disciple?" the emperor asked his personal guard.
The bodyguard replied, "Yes, it's her. I've heard she's a highly skilled doctor who can cure any illness, even better than Gu Chen and Master Yi."
Your Majesty, she might also be able to treat your hidden ailment…
At this point, the bodyguard noticed the emperor's displeasure and quickly shut up.
Emperor Anmu turned off the surveillance cameras and glanced sideways at the guards beside him.
The guard was even more frightened and immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Majesty, spare me! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have spoken out of turn!"
"Arui, for the sake of your ten years of service to me, go to the torture chamber and receive ten lashes. If I ever hear you spouting this nonsense again, you'll lose your life." The emperor's voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing this, the guard named Arui lowered his head even further, thankful that he had escaped with his life.
Seeing the guards trembling, the emperor simply stepped over Arui's head and made his way to the council hall.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
With a loud announcement, most people stood up and then knelt down to greet them.
Qin Yeting and Xia Yue were exceptions.
Qin Yeting disdained kneeling, while Xia Yue received a traditional socialist education from a young age, emphasizing equality for all and that one could kneel to heaven, earth, and parents.
Kneeling before imperial power, such feudal dregs, were not in her vocabulary.
