Black Bear

In the suburbs, inside an unfinished villa.

The villa's exterior was dilapidated, but the interior was luxuriously decorated.

In the darkness outside, a dozen burly thugs lay in wait, watching every move around them.

Inside the villa, a group of men and women gathered together, clinking glasses and making merry.

Lin Wanqing sat on the sofa, next to a burly man.

He is nearly two meters tall, and his muscles are so large that his clothes can barely cover him.

A scar stretched from the end of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, which was quite gruesome.

Lin Wanqing was holding a wine glass, and her usually arrogant and beautiful face was now full of flattery.

"Mr. Black Bear, this toast is for you."

"Thank you for your generous help; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to acquire this clinic."

"I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

Lin Wanqing was unwilling to give up after leaving Baolintang in the morning.

She knew that Qin Mo had no chance of coming up with eight million.

But she also knew that Qin Mo had made her reveal her true colors in front of Cui Pu, and Cui Pu would never give her the clinic again.

Unless, some extraordinary measures are taken.

As it happened, she had previously gotten to know this man, known in the underworld as "Black Bear," through a business deal.

The other party is one of the four guardians of the Blue Lion Society, and his identity and methods are quite astonishing.

She knew that Lin's status was not enough to curry favor with Jiang Linchuan, but Black Bear had taken a liking to her beauty and had made advances towards her many times.

She was confident that her charm was more than enough to handle the black bear.

So, after leaving Baolin Hall, she contacted Black Bear.

Cui Pu is just a doctor. Even if he is somewhat famous, it doesn't change the fact that he is just an ordinary person.

Given his social class, there's no way he could possibly stand up to a black bear.

Black Bear took Lin Wanqing's wine glass, grinning and revealing a set of yellow teeth: "No problem, no problem. How could I refuse Miss Lin's offer? It's just a small favor."

As he spoke, he touched the back of Lin Wanqing's hand with his fingers.

Although Lin Wanqing felt disgusted, she needed his help and dared not offend Black Bear, so she could only put on a smiling face.

"Mr. Black Bear, you are too kind. Someone of your stature is willing to help Wanqing. Wanqing will naturally remember your kindness."

"Oh, Miss Lin is a famous beauty in Xichuan. What's this talk of gratitude for serving a beauty?"

"It's just dealing with an old geezer, what's the big deal?"

"However, if Mr. Lin really feels bad about it, we can discuss the compensation later..."

The black bear leaned closer, reeking of alcohol: "Right?"

She was just being polite, but the black bear had already placed one of its paws on her knee, giving her goosebumps.

But for the sake of Baolintang, she endured it.

However, he cursed Qin Mo a few times in his heart.

If he hadn't come out and caused trouble, would I have needed to go through all this trouble?

For people like Black Bear, it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.

She still needs to figure out how to make amends afterward to smooth things over.

Cui Ruiling lay on the other side of the sofa, having already fainted.

When Black Bear looked at her, he said with some regret, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that old man's granddaughter to be such a stunning beauty, no less beautiful than President Lin, and even younger than him."

"It's a pity, though, he's sickly."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to trade such a beautiful woman for a run-down clinic."

Although Lin Wanqing didn't like Black Bear, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard him praise another woman for being beautiful and younger than her.

She coldly remarked, "A person who's about to die, being pretty is useless."

"That's true." Black Bear laughed heartily, "It's definitely more fun with energetic women!"

Just then, Black Bear's henchmen ran in and reported to Black Bear that Cui Pu had arrived.

However, he didn't come alone; he was accompanied by a young man.

Lin Wanqing's expression shifted, and she pressed for an answer: "Who is it?"

"It seems to be someone named Qin Mo, who also went to Baolin Hall this morning."

Qin Mo, he's here too?

Lin Wanqing snorted coldly: "He really loves to show off. Does he really think that by pestering Old Man Cui, he can get the clinic for free?"

"What, does President Lin know this person?" Black Bear asked upon hearing this.

Lin Wanqing tossed her hair: "He's just a nobody, Brother Black Bear, don't take him to heart."

"It's just an ant, probably just tagging along to show off."

"Perfect timing. He ruined my plans twice before; he doesn't know his place."

"I originally didn't want to make things difficult for him because we had known each other."

"But since he's delivered himself to my doorstep, I'll trouble Brother Black Bear to teach him a lesson for me. Just spare his life."

Black Bear waved his hand dismissively: "I understand, I understand. To offend President Lin is to offend me, Black Bear. It's just a small favor, I'll help!"

Afterwards, because Lin Wanqing's identity could not be exposed, she went to the room on the second floor first.

As soon as she entered, Qin Mo and Cui Pu were brought in.

"Rui Ling!"

As soon as he entered, Cui Pu saw Cui Ruiling.

Upon seeing his granddaughter unconscious, Cui Pu nearly fainted on the spot.

Just as he was about to pounce, he was stopped by several of his men.

"You old geezer, Brother Black Bear didn't say anything, so who let you go over there? Kneel down!"

Several fierce-looking henchmen stepped forward, ready to attack Cui Pu.

Qin Mo glanced at Cui Ruiling to make sure she had just fainted from weakness. He was about to take down a few of his underlings who were about to attack when Black Bear spoke up.

"Wait a minute."

With Lin Wanqing not around, the black bear abandoned its lecherous demeanor and became full of ferocity.

Someone lit a cigar for him, and he took a puff and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"You must be Cui Pu, right?"

"I don't have time to waste with you. You have two choices."

"Or, sign the contract and take your granddaughter with you."

"Or, you and your grandchildren can stay here together, and someone will handle your inheritance tomorrow."

Black Bear spoke these words quite casually, as if dealing with two lives was as simple as eating and drinking in his eyes.

that's the truth.

Although he was only the last of the four guardians, a Free Realm expert like him was already one in ten thousand in a place like Xichuan.

Moreover, he was backed by the Green Lion Society, which had dominated Xichuan for decades before the three-way power struggle, making it the unofficial underground emperor of Xichuan.

They were just two ordinary people, like ants, easily crushed.

As for Qin Mo, he wasn't even worthy of his attention.

His men tossed him a contract, which Qin Mo glanced at: it actually stated that Cui Pu voluntarily transferred Baolintang for zero yuan, and would also provide medical assistance to Baolintang every year!

This is clearly a robbery!

But Cui Pu didn't even look at it. The stubborn old man suddenly looked much older and raised his hand to sign.

"I'll give you anything, as long as you let Ruiling go..."

The black bear, with a cigar between his fingers, was quite pleased with his tact: "Not bad, at least you have some self-awareness."

He thought that was the end of it, but when Cui Pu asked Luo Xia to sign, a hand grabbed his arm.

"Wait, I disagree."
