The Divine Urban Physician

205  Birthday Gift

Ye Chen nodded. He guessed that it should be the latter.

At this moment, he still had a few doubts. Since Jiang Jianfeng came from a martial arts family, why did his mother not have a martial arts foundation?

At that time, she did not even have the ability to save her own life. Furthermore, from the looks of things, the family behind his mother was not weak, and the fact that Jiang Jianfeng showed up at Cloud Lake Manor meant that the other party was aware of what was going on.

In that case, why did they not prevent the tragedy? Why had they chosen to take away his parents' corpses to deceive the world?

"Actually, there's another piece of information that I'm unsure if I should tell you about," Lei Shuwei said hesitantly.

"Speak!"

Lei Shuwei gritted his teeth and said, "The expert who is ranked 9th on Huaxia's grandmaster rankings is also named Jiang Jianfeng!""

Bang!

Ye Chen felt as if his heart had been hammered by a hammer when he heard this.

Ranked ninth on Huaxia's grandmaster rankings?

This person was basically one of Huaxia's foremost experts!

During this period of time, Ye Chen had killed some experts, and his combat strength was probably between the 150th to 200th rank.

Of course, this was before one considered the heaven-defying Samsara Graveyard.

The second tombstone could be activated now, and the third tombstone was now showing signs of unsealing. With this, he believed that he would be able to take on any one of Huaxia's grandmasters.

Even though those experts might be backed by top-notch martial arts families, he was backed by a hundred ancient mighty experts!

Ye Chen's body suddenly burst with confidence. He looked at Lei Shuwei and Ying Qing and said, "If you find any other information about Jiang Jianfeng, you must inform me immediately."

"Alright, Mr. Ye!"

"Is there anything else?" Ye Chen asked.

"Mr. Ye, there's one more thing," Ying Qing said at this moment.

"Do you remember the people from the Pearl Nation's Martial Emperor Society that you killed in River City?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"What about them? Are they coming here to seek revenge?"

Ying Qing shook his head.

"Not yet, but recently, there has been news from the Pearl Empire that the Martial Emperor Society might take action against Huaxia in the near future. I suspect that they will also come after Mr. Ye at the same time."

Ye Chen sneered.

He opened the car door and said calmly, "If the Martial Emperor Society dares to step foot into Huaxia, I will make them feel true fear!"

With that, the car door closed, leaving Lei Shuwei and Ying Qing inside.

…

At the same time, at the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association, Tang Ao did not sleep for the entire night.

This year was supposed to be a festive one, as his 60th birthday was coming up soon. However, this year turned out to be an unfortunate one instead.

Even his precious son was dead!

He could not find the murderer even though he had people searching the entire city!

Actually, there were still people who realized that it was Ye Chen in the photo. However, when those people discovered it and wanted to report it to their superiors, they were killed by the Ye Lingtian's special forces, the Dark Hall, before they could spill the beans.

Although Ye Chen said that he did not need the protection of the Dark Hall, Ye Lingtian had been quietly cleaning up Ye Chen's mess.

This was what a subordinate should do. Thanks to his efforts, Tang Ao's efforts yielded no fruit.

At this moment, he was almost on the verge of going crazy.

Pa!

Tang Ao slammed his palm on the table and scolded the people from the Martial Arts Association, "Are you all f*cking useless? You searched the entire Jiangnan Province and only found a few kids with similar figures!"

"I want the murderer! It's clearly not any of these people!"

The faces of his subordinates were ashen, and no one dared to speak.

Tang Ao suppressed his anger and continued, "I'll give everyone another three days. If you still can't find the murderer, I will expel each and every single one of you from the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped. They were not the culprits, yet they were the ones who had to bear Tang Ao's wrath.

At this moment, a vice president said hesitantly, "President Tang, don't be angry. It's your 60th birthday in a few days. We will definitely find this person before that!"

"Don't you f*cking talk about my 60th birthday!"

Tang Ao became even angrier.

"I don't even have a son anymore! Hell, I can't even find his head! Who the f*ck gives a damn about a birthday?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man stood up and hurriedly said, "President Tang, you can't say that. Things haven't been going well for theJiangnan Province Martial Arts Association recently. First, Yuan Jingfu died, then the disappearance of the other vice presidents, and now the incident with your son. President Tang, it's almost like something or someone is behind all of this."

Hearing this, Tang Ao calmed down a bit. He looked at the old man seriously and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The old man said solemnly, "President Tang, this year is your natal year. It's the year when everything will go wrong. The only way to break this evil cycle is to change your luck. The most suitable way now is undoubtedly your 60th birthday celebration!"

(T/N: In the Chinese zodiac, natal years are perceived to be years where many volatile, and to some extent, bad things will happen in one's life.)

Ancient martial artists believed in this kind of metaphysical thing.

Hearing the old man's words, Tang Ao nodded. In that case, he really needed to change his luck.

If this continued, things would only get worse as the year progressed.

He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Thank you, Elder Ren. In that case, we'll do as you say for the birthday celebration. It'll be fine to hold it as a small-scale celebration. Although I shouldn't be doing this seeing as what happened to Yuanxuan, it'll be troublesome if I don't resolve this situation soon."

Suddenly, a staff member of the association rushed in with a box in his hand.

"President Tang, a man sent in this box just now. He said that it was for you, and that he wanted to celebrate your 60th birthday in advance."

Tang Ao's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the exquisite box. He nodded and said, "Put it down."

Every year on his birthday, people would give him all kinds of things in order to get close to him.

He did not expect that some ants would take action so quickly this year.

The staff member was about to put down the box when Tang Ao sniffed and smelled something strange.

He changed his mind and ordered, "Bring it over!""

"Yes, sir!"

The staff member carefully placed the box on the table in front of Tang Ao.

Tang Ao reached out his hand and opened it curiously.

Seconds later, everyone's eyes were filled with fear, and they almost stopped breathing.

The staff member fell to the ground, his back drenched in sweat.

Tang Ao was even more miserable. His blood essence surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face was extremely pale!

This so-called gift was actually his son's head!
