Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 832 - 835: Your territory?

Late at night, Zhao Qian came home with a spring in his step, carrying a bag.

Because of his connection with Xia Liu, he had earned a promotion.

It was exhilarating.

But deep inside, he was conflicted—should he tell Xia Liu about it?

If he did, his future might be completely ruined.

With his meager abilities, how could he possibly take on Guo Man?

If he kept quiet, the bond between him and Xia Liu would hang in the balance—it was genuinely frustrating.

Zhao Qian tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

He had been sleepless for two nights in a row; perhaps he would wait until Xia Liu and Guo Man had some interaction before sharing it with him.

Yes.

Zhao Qian made a quiet decision.

Because of his promotion to team leader, even the female supervisor who had previously looked down on him was now much more polite.

Although there was still a hint of contempt in her politeness, she had clearly changed.

Zhao Qian felt quite satisfied with the situation.

Early next morning, Xia Liu rode the bus alongside Zhao Qian to Harbor City.

Today marked Xia Liu’s official first day at work.

After arriving at the company, he changed into a security guard uniform and headed to the security office for a meeting.

Old Sun reviewed the tasks accomplished the previous day and assigned duties for the coming days.

This routine repeated daily, and about three days later, Xia Liu finally became familiar with the workflow.

It was straightforward: aside from manning the main gate, he’d periodically check the parking lot and warehouse.

Security above the third floor of the building was handled by experienced guards; entry was only permitted if specific circumstances arose.

This limitation posed a challenge for Xia Liu.

If he couldn’t access the upper levels of the building...

What else could he do but wait?

After a week at the company, Xia Liu could only take things one step at a time.

During this time, after work, he continued to post missing-person flyers.

He still visited the kindergarten.

Because Guo Man’s female bodyguards were still tracking him.

This was starting to get tiresome.

How many days had it been? These people really had time to spare.

Thanks to the energy granted by his Divine Sense, Xia Liu consistently performed tasks with exceptional precision.

The bodyguards keeping tabs on him suggested that Guo Man was also paying attention to him.

All that was missing was the right opening—then Xia Liu would be able to get closer to Guo Man.

An opportunity!

Yes, an opportunity!

Maybe even fate was lending Xia Liu a hand.

That evening, on his way back from work, Xia Liu happened to head to the orphanage.

He was greeted by the sight of a bulldozer parked at the entrance.

Song Dan, the orphanage director, and the other teachers were blocking the bulldozer, ready to lay down their lives to protect the orphanage.

"You old hag! Get out of my way!"

Shen Ming glared angrily at Song Dan, furious beyond measure. As the CEO of Junhui Real Estate Company, being humiliated by an ordinary person left him fuming.

If he didn’t bulldoze the orphanage, he’d carry this grudge for life.

"If you want to destroy the orphanage, then drive over my body!"

Song Dan’s eyes had long been reddened with emotion—she had poured her entire life’s dedication into the orphanage.

If it were demolished, she wouldn’t know how to face the kind-hearted individuals who had supported her.

"Excellent! Crush this woman to death! I’ll take full responsibility for whatever happens!"

Shen Ming roared, his anger surging uncontrollably.

"Director!"

"Director, we should leave."

"We can’t fight them—there’s no way we’ll win..."

Several of the female teachers trembled with fear.

People like Shen Ming couldn’t care less about human life.

Even if someone died, wouldn’t compensation just be a matter of money?

"No! If I leave today, then Little Red Riding Hood Orphanage will be gone for good. It doesn’t matter if I die—I can’t let the children lose their home."

"Damn it! Why isn’t it moving?! Drive over them already!"

Seeing the bulldozer stationary, Shen Ming shouted angrily.

"If anyone dares to move, I guarantee the one dying will be him."

Right then, a frosty voice laced with killing intent came from the bulldozer’s driver’s seat.

Huh?

Shen Ming raised his head to look at the high driver’s seat just as his gaze froze, his pupils constricting sharply.

"It’s you!"

Xia Liu stood gripping the driver’s neck, cold fury spilling out through his gaze.

The driver’s face turned pale, and he was overcome by the instinctive fear that if Xia Liu applied just a bit of pressure, he’d find himself in the Netherworld, meeting his ancestors.

"Wonderful! It’s Mr. Xia!"

"Mr. Xia!"

The teachers cheered at the sight of Xia Liu.

Song Dan also breathed a sigh of relief.

With Xia Liu here today, the orphanage could remain safe.

"Do you even know what you’re doing? I have full authorization—this land is mine, and I can do whatever I want!"

After overcoming his initial shock, Shen Ming straightened his posture, looking up at Xia Liu with defiance.

"Oh? This land is yours now? Show me the documents then."

Xia Liu responded indifferently. He knew that the orphanage was technically under Harbor City’s jurisdiction, even if it had received lesser attention.

Regardless, the orphanage couldn’t be bulldozed without proper approval.

Shen Ming might be capable of obtaining authorization, but without the documents, Xia Liu wouldn’t back down.

Even if Shen Ming did possess the approval today, Xia Liu wouldn’t let him act.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I show you anything? Leave now, or I’ll call the police!"

"Call the police? Trying to frame the innocent now, are we?" Xia Liu chuckled knowingly. If Shen Ming wanted to scare him, his feeble tricks were far from enough.

"Alright, fine! Just wait—you’re screwed today! If I don’t find someone to cripple you, I’ll change my surname to yours!"

Shen Ming pulled out his phone as he spoke, but just then, a Mercedes-Benz came speeding toward him.

He was not someone to flinch—a bold man even in the face of danger, he stood his ground unflinching.

Yet beads of cold sweat formed on his back.

He recognized that car—it was Guo Man’s ride.

If Guo Man were in that car and dared to ram him, Shen Ming would offer ten million.

Though the car didn’t hit Shen Ming, it screeched to a halt three inches from him.

Soon, three foreign women stepped out of the car.

Their presence alone caused Shen Ming’s group of ten-plus workers to exchange nervous glances.

These women were no amateurs—they were bodyguards subjected to intense, high-strength training.

If a fight broke out, his men were sure to suffer.

"Boss Shen, isn’t this a bit underhanded?"

Guo Man stepped out of the car, her violet high heels tapping against the pavement, her elf-like eyes fixed on Shen Ming.

"What’s the matter? I’m conducting construction on my own property. Who are you to interfere?"

Shen Ming felt a pang of guilt but held fast to his reasoning. Even though Guo Man had strength and influence on her side, she couldn’t claim jurisdiction over his affairs.

"Your property? Who gave you the approval?"

"Tsk, with Junhui Real Estate Group’s credentials, getting this land permitted is a matter of minutes."

"Oh really? Then why don’t you take a look at this."

Following Guo Man’s words, Xilu handed over a folder to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming received it nonchalantly and began flipping through its contents. As he read, his demeanor noticeably shifted.

"Now, Boss Shen, I’d like an explanation. This land is ours—what are you doing causing damage here? Do you think Guo’s Pharmaceutical is easy to bully?"
