Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 668 - 667: Killing Intent [Seeking Monthly Pass]

Wu Yili's legs weren't especially long, but they were very well-proportioned.

Initially, Ge Dongxu thought that massaging Wu Yili's legs to help restore her strength would be a simple task, especially since they had shared even more intimate contact before, so massaging her legs wasn't really a big deal compared to what happened three years ago.

However, the moment Wu Yili rested her legs on his thigh, Ge Dongxu realized he had underestimated the situation.

Skin to skin, soft yet resilient, his heartbeat unexpectedly quickened. He dared not look directly at the beautiful legs that lay on his own thigh, yet his hands were already applying pressure skillfully and with appropriate force.

Because of his distractions, Ge Dongxu didn't dare to be too gentle or slow, instead applying more pressure, wishing to finish quickly to avoid wandering thoughts.

Even though Ge Dongxu was a bit rougher than he intended, to Wu Yili, his massaging hands were like a godsend. Her previously sore and weak legs felt warm and incredibly comfortable. She looked at Ge Dongxu with even more tenderness in her eyes.

"Look how sweet he is to his girlfriend! My legs are sore too, could you massage mine?" Just as Ge Dongxu was considering ending the massage, a woman's coquettish voice came from not far away, causing his hands to freeze for a moment.

"Well, that's about it, thank you, Dongxu." Wu Yili's legs tensed noticeably, and then she thanked Ge Dongxu with a flushed face.

"Alright, let's go then." Ge Dongxu nodded, loosened his grip, and let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

After that little interlude, the atmosphere between the two of them became considerably more awkward as they continued along the mountain path.

Neither of them spoke, simply walking side by side down the mountain in silence.

Since neither of them was talking, it wasn't long before they both felt a bit uncomfortable, as if there was a need to say something. Almost as if they had a telepathic connection, they turned their heads to look at each other at the same time and said, "You..."

They both paused, staring at each other for a long while, and then suddenly broke into knowing smiles.

"You go first," Wu Yili said with a smile.

"How do you feel now?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"The question you asked is exactly what I wanted to say, you're really amazing. My legs feel even stronger standing on the ground now than they did when climbing the mountain!" Although it wasn't the first time Wu Yili had witnessed Ge Dongxu's remarkable abilities, she couldn't help but express her disbelief.

"That's good, otherwise I would have had to carry you down the mountain," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Had I known a certain gentleman planned to carry me down the mountain, I wouldn't have let him massage my legs just now," Wu Yili joked.

"Ha ha, if you really want to enjoy the experience of being carried down the mountain, I'm more than happy to oblige," Ge Dongxu laughed.

Wu Yili's face turned a slight shade of red, and she gave Ge Dongxu a disdainful look, "Keep dreaming!"

Ge Dongxu scratched his head awkwardly at her words.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's embarrassed face, Wu Yili giggled happily. Seeing her so cheerful, Ge Dongxu's embarrassment faded, and he laughed along with her.

In the midst of laughter, the two descended the mountain, bathed in the sunset. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had completely sunk behind the peaks, and darkness began to creep in.

"I'll drive this time; I'll take you back to the hotel first." Arriving at the parking lot, Wu Yili took out her car keys and said.

Ge Dongxu had just nodded and said okay when Wu Yili's phone started ringing.

Wu Yili signaled to Ge Dongxu and then took out her phone. Seeing that it was a call from her uncle, who was a school principal, she answered it.

"Uncle, I'll be home soon. Is there something you need?" Wu Yili asked.

"Were you with Ge Dongxu on Mount Santai today?" Principal Zhang inquired.

"Yes, we have just come down from the mountain. After I drop Ge Dongxu off at the hotel, I was preparing to head home," Wu Yili replied.

"No need to head home, just come directly to Santai City Grand Hotel. Your grandmother, aunt, and I are not at home; we are at the Santai City Grand Hotel now. The city's leaders and Chairman Piao from Korea's Xianxing Group would like to invite both you and Ge Dongxu over for dinner. Is it convenient for Ge Dongxu?" Principal Zhang spoke with an audible disquiet in his voice, as if he had something to say but was finding it somewhat inconvenient to express.

"The city leaders and Chairman Piao want to invite us and Ge Dongxu to dinner together?" Wu Yili's complexion changed upon hearing this.

"Yes, can Ge Dongxu make it?" Principal Zhang asked.

"Tell your uncle we'll be right over," Ge Dongxu said indifferently to Wu Yili, who looked quite upset. A cold glint flickered in his dark eyes, even flashing a hint of murderous intent.

The city's leaders, Principal Zhang, and others surely couldn't grasp the deeper implications of Chairman Piao's move, and even Wu Yili was likely unaware of its deeper significance, perhaps thinking that Chairman Piao simply wanted to discuss the matter of his grandson and the jade piece with Ge Dongxu.

But Ge Dongxu had already sensed a whiff of a deep-seated warning and threat.

Because if Chairman Piao could invite Wu Yili's relatives this time, he surely had ways to "invite" Ge Dongxu's family members next time.

And that was absolutely a line you do not cross with Ge Dongxu. It didn't matter who it was; if someone touched that line, even if it was the Emperor himself, Ge Dongxu would not be polite.

At this moment, Chairman Piao didn't realize he was playing with fire, walking on the razor's edge. After seeing Principal Zhang hang up, he was told that Wu Yili and Ge Dongxu would probably arrive at the Santai City Grand Hotel in about twenty minutes. A confident smile spread across his face as he nodded and "politely" said, "Thank you, Principal Zhang."

Chairman Piao spoke very fluent and standard Mandarin.

"Not at all," replied Principal Zhang, somewhat awkwardly.

It wasn't just the fact that the elderly man before him was at the helm of a Fortune Global 500 company that made him cautious, but also because the city's top two leaders, Vice Mayor Yao in charge of economics, Vice Mayor Wang in charge of education, and Director Lin Qingyue of the Management Committee were all in the private room.

All these leaders, except for Director Lin Qingyue, would have been difficult for Principal Zhang just to meet in the past, let alone invite him to dinner, but now they were all together.

"It's only right. I'm a complete stranger to Mr. Ge, and since he is your niece's student, I might have to trouble you to speak a few good words on our behalf later. That jade piece is actually not worth much money, but since it is passed down from our Piao family's ancestors, it holds extraordinary significance for us. So long as the price is not too outrageous, we will accept it," said Piao Tianchang with a smile, his demeanor gentle and refined, making one feel at ease.

"There definitely won't be any problem, we Huaxia Country people have always liked to do favors for others. Plus, Chairman Piao has traveled all this way to Santai City to meet with him personally, showing great sincerity. The price won't mistreat him and I think Mr. Ge has no reason to refuse," replied not Principal Zhang but Secretary Lu, Santai City's top official.
