Chapter 373 Ying Zijin Makes Her Move: The Yu Family Can Be Gone [1st Update]
The Nie family also owns a large villa within the Second Ring Road, but most of the family members live in the city center due to their work.
After handing the company over to Nie Chao, Grandpa Nie was considered to have retired, which is why he returned to his old house.
As the year draws to a close, some of the servants have gone home.
It's evening now, and Grandpa Nie is sitting alone in the living room reading the newspaper.
Several cooks were busy in the kitchen, preparing a late-night snack for Nie Chao.
Grandpa Nie didn't expect it to be Nie Chao.
Nie Chao has the key and can open the door himself.
The Nie family has strict family traditions, and he would never use such a method of knocking on the door.
Grandpa Nie found it very strange.
He only saw the person lying on the ground after he opened the door.
The middle-aged man's palm strike had already severely injured Nie Chao.
The three young men carried him all the way here without taking any protective measures, which only made his injuries worse.
To ensure Nie Chao wouldn't die, the middle-aged man left a surge of internal energy within him to protect his heart meridian.
However, this internal energy will dissipate quickly, and once it does, there is basically no way to reverse it.
Nie Chao is, after all, the heir of the Nie family. He can't really die at their hands. If he's going to die, he should die in the hospital.
Nie Chao lay quietly on the steps, his face pale and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Grandpa Nie has seen many storms and hardships. When he was young, he went out to gain experience and suffered all kinds of injuries.
He is injured, and it hurts, but he can persevere.
But this is different.
This is his grandson.
Tears welled up in an instant.
In fact, Nie Chao didn't know that Old Master Nie sometimes favored him more, because with Nie Yi supporting the Nie family, Nie Chao was content to live happily.
Old Master Nie squatted down shakily, reaching out his hand but not daring to touch him: "You brat?"
Nie Chao did not react.
His breath was barely a thread.
"Master!" The butler came over from the other side of the garden, having just finished instructing the gardener.
As soon as he finished his work, he saw this scene and was instantly shocked, as if struck by lightning: "Grandpa, the second young master..."
As the heir of the Nie family, Nie Chao has attracted a lot of attention.
There would be people who would hire assassins, sharpshooters, and many other hunters to kill him, but they would all be at the bottom of the class, and the Nie family could handle them.
But now that something like this has happened to Nie Chao, they haven't heard a single word from him.
The housekeeper had no idea what was going on.
In the capital, would anyone really dare to kill the heir of the Nie family?
But Old Master Nie was able to guess it.
Only ancient martial arts practitioners, and those who have cultivated ancient martial arts for at least twenty years, can do this silently.
The housekeeper hurriedly dialed 120, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
None of them knew anything about medicine, and with Nie Chao currently unconscious and barely breathing, they dared not move him.
After dialing 120, the butler, his hands trembling, called Nie Yi again, his voice choked with sobs: "Young Master, please come back quickly, something has happened to the Second Young Master..."

at the same time.
On the other side.
Fu Yunshen had just brought Ying Zijin back from the ISC training camp.
The second phase of ISC training has been completed.
The ISC semi-finals will end after the New Year, and the international finals will officially begin in May.
Ultimately, 1,200 people from around the world will stand on the international final stage to compete for the title.
After Ying Zijing finished reading the information Zuo Li sent her, she turned her head and saw Fu Yunshen sitting on the sofa, looking at her with his deep, captivating eyes.
It felt like a very deep affection.
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing." Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered, and he composed himself slightly. "I was just thinking about how I wish I were a few years younger."
He just read a fanfiction.
It's a story about mutual unrequited love on campus, and the protagonist is portrayed as a high school student.
The writing is good, and the reader is very immersed in the story.
Ying Zijin replied perfunctorily, "I haven't said you're old recently."
"Yes, of course I can't get old." Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "If I get old and my back and legs don't work, how will I hold you if you fall asleep?"
Sometimes, a single sentence from someone can gently touch the heart.
I don't know if it's just a habit, unintentional, or deliberate.
Ying Zijing remained expressionless: "Then you should just stay old."
"No way, kid—" Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, "So heartless?"
Ying Zijing casually picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.
It hit the mark perfectly.
"Alright, that's enough." Fu Yunshen surrendered, taking the pillow. "Where's your brother? All alone. The Nie family's New Year's banquet needs a dance partner, Yaoyao?"
Ying Zijing glanced at him and said slowly, "I'm really sorry, I can't dance."
During the time she spent in the various royal families of O continent, she got tired of watching those court nobles hold balls.
Fu Yunshen leaned back on the sofa, looking languid: "It's okay, I can teach you anything you don't know."
The phone rang at that moment, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Fu Yunshen glanced at the phone number, his expression shifting slightly, and answered, "Hello."
As he listened to the voice on the microphone, the smile in his peach blossom eyes gradually faded until they froze.
The man's aura turned cold and heavy in that instant, reaching an extreme low.
His voice, however, was very calm, without even a trace of emotion.
But what's even more terrifying is that still waters run deep.
Finally, Fu Yunshen said, "I understand."
Ying Zijing also sensed something was wrong, and she narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "What is it?"
"Nie Chao is in trouble." Fu Yunshen remained calm as he put on his coat. "He's in the Imperial Capital Hospital now, and his bodyguards are all unconscious."
"There was a residual internal force within him that protected him from dying in a short time."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing paused.
Did the medicine she gave to Nie Chao get seen by an ancient doctor or martial artist?
If one is a practitioner of ancient medicine or martial arts, one can detect the special characteristics of a medicine simply by smelling its aroma.
The medicine she concocted using snow lingzhi and some rare medicinal herbs can give ordinary people the talent to cultivate ancient martial arts, enable ancient martial artists to break through bottlenecks, and allow ancient doctors to replenish the body's essence.
However, she was the only one who possessed the formula for this medicine. When she came to Earth last time, she didn't give out all the formulas, only a small portion.
The reason Meng Jingyu wanted this Snow Lingzhi was indeed because it could help ancient martial artists break through their limits.
However, following the prescriptions of ancient doctors does not guarantee 100% success.
That's why she told Nie Chao that this medicine was very important and not to open it in front of outsiders.
Ying Zijing's eyes turned slightly cold.
That was a miscalculation.
She should have let Nie Chao eat it directly when she gave it to him.
This drug has only one side effect: it makes people sleep for fifteen hours straight.
“Yaoyao, it’s not your fault.” Fu Yunshen grabbed her hand, his eyes deep. “I have never agreed with the saying that possessing a treasure is a crime.”
This time, Ying Zijing didn't pry his hand off; instead, she held it tightly, her voice calm: "Together."
It wasn't her fault, but it started because of her.
She wouldn't let anything happen to Nie Chao.

Imperial Capital Hospital.
Inside the ICU.
The attending physician, assistants, and nurses were all busy, their foreheads covered in sweat.
They had never seen such a bizarre injury before.
From the outside, there were no visible marks, but inside the body, many bones and internal organs were broken.
Even more bizarrely, the patient was still breathing.
The nurse glanced at the electrocardiogram and said anxiously, "Doctor, the patient's vital signs are weak, and his heart has stopped beating."
The attending physician immediately ordered, "Get the defibrillator quickly."
But they couldn't use the defibrillator properly either.
Time ticked by, and outside the ICU, Grandpa Nie paced back and forth restlessly.
An hour later, the lights in the operating room were turned off.
The door opened, and a doctor came out.
Grandpa Nie hurried forward: "How is it?"
"The patient's bones and internal organs are severely damaged. Please, family members—" The doctor paused before uttering the last four words with great difficulty, "be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Nie fainted instantly.
The butler was shocked: "Old Master!"
At that moment, a cold voice came: "Make room for another patient."
The butler looked up abruptly and saw Nie Yi, whose expression was cold and aloof, walking over. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master."
Nie Yi first fed Grandpa Nie a pill before letting the doctor take him to the ward.
But after a few minutes, Grandpa Nie woke up and hurriedly got out of bed: "Yi'er, I'll go to the Meng family to ask for an ancient doctor. You watch over your brother and protect his heart meridian first."
Nie Yi paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm afraid the Meng family won't make a move."
Grandpa Nie's body stiffened, and his face turned pale.
good.
Ancient medicine and ancient martial arts are an integrated system. Although there are many internal conflicts, they are very united when facing external challenges.
Nie Chao was injured so badly by the ancient martial arts practitioners, how could the Meng family possibly oppose the ancient martial arts families for his sake?
Grandpa Nie swayed slightly.
Is it really going to be...?
Another voice rang out, cold and indifferent as snow: "Where is Nie Chao?"
Nie Yi paused and turned his head.
The girl had already changed into a sterile surgical gown and put on gloves.
Her eyes and brows were colder than ever before, a coldness that made Nie Yi feel chilled.
Nie Yi's expression changed slightly: "Miss Ying?"
He didn't tell Fu Yunshen about this.
Ying Zijing nodded slightly and said calmly, "I'll go in; he'll be fine."
Several attending physicians at the Imperial Capital Hospital also knew Ying Zijin.
Seeing that she had actually come, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The operating room door opened and closed again.
A few minutes after Ying Zijing went in, Fu Yunshen also came up.
He cut to the chase: "Which one?"
Nie Yi's eyes were cold and deep: "The traces have been erased."
There are security cameras at the tree-lined entrance, but not inside the woods.
It's deep winter now, and at eight o'clock in the evening, it's so dark you can't see anything.
When a martial artist unleashes their internal energy, they can indeed erase all traces, even returning fallen leaves to their original positions.
Even if criminal investigators went to check it themselves, they wouldn't find anything.
This is the power of ancient martial arts practitioners.
That's why there's a strict rule in the ancient martial arts world: martial artists must never interfere in worldly affairs.
Otherwise, the whole world would be in chaos.
Nie Yi deduced that the ancient martial artist who injured Nie Chao had a cultivation level of twenty years.
In the Ling family, this level of cultivation would be at most average.
In the Lin family, it would be just an ordinary thing.
However, within a small family, this already puts him at the level of a guard captain.
Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Erase?" Fu Yunshen smiled suddenly, then said calmly, "It's not that easy."
He took out his phone and made a call: "Check which family in the ancient martial arts world went out yesterday. Make sure to include everyone on the list. Get it done in five minutes."
Grandpa Nie's face was blank; he stared at the operating room door, completely oblivious to what the people around him were saying.
Another hour passed, and the operating room door opened again.
Ying Zijin came out, her face somewhat pale.
Fu Yunshen immediately stepped forward and hugged her: "Yaoyao?"
Ying Zijin slowly exhaled: "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."
"Miss Ying." Old Master Nie also went up, extremely anxious, "How is Chao'er?"
"Don't worry, he's out of danger and fine." Ying Zijing wiped the sweat from her brow. "But he hasn't woken up yet, so it should be a few more days."
Fortunately, Nie Chao swallowed the pill she had prepared.
A day was enough time for him to condense some internal strength.
Otherwise, it will indeed leave a very serious health problem.
Hearing this, Grandpa Nie finally breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "That's good, that's good."
Ying Zijing took off her surgical gown and looked up: "Which one is it?"
Fu Yunshen slowly uttered two words: "The Yu family."
"Is that so?" Ying Zijing said without any emotion, her voice devoid of warmth. "It can be destroyed now."
Upon hearing these four words, Old Master Nie was startled: "Miss Ying, you absolutely mustn't!"
Nie Chao is fine; he's just planning to back down.
We can't involve other people in this.
"Grandpa Nie, don't worry." Fu Yunshen gripped the girl's shoulders tightly. "If Yaoyao says she wants to destroy them, then the Yu family will be gone."
