Is Old Wu really dead?

No, when You Long saw Old Wu fall, he was completely stunned!

Dead! Someone's dead!

You Long's legs trembled as he slowly sat down on the chair, his whole body collapsing.

The mysterious old man chuckled, "Don't be afraid, although he's dead, he'll live in another way!"

"Dead? How can he live?" You Long said, his voice trembling.

The mysterious old man fiddled with the Skull Wooden Staff, and a worm fell from the mouth of the skull. He pried open Old Wu's mouth and put it directly inside.

Within five minutes, a strange scene unfolded.

Old Wu opened his eyes, though his gaze was somewhat vacant. Apart from the blood mark still at the center of his brows, there was not much difference from before!

He slowly stood up, looked at the mysterious old man, "Master!"

"Master?" You Long's worldview was overturned, the first person of the National Doctor in Ghost Wood City calling the old man 'Master' with his first words upon standing!

The mysterious old man chuckled, "Don't be surprised, it's just a petty trick. He can't be buried just yet; there's still some use for him."

"So you had plans all along. What should we do next?" You Long asked, admiring the mysterious old man immensely.

"Next, we confront Liu Zixuan openly. Aren't your two clinics facing each other now? Starting today, you'll compete against him in various ways, and I'll help you from behind the scenes. First, force his clinic out of business!"

The old man instructed.

Upon hearing this, You Long grinned, "As long as it's dealing with Liu Zixuan, I'm happy to do anything!"

A plan formed in his mind, You Long already had a strategy in place...

Meanwhile, on Liu Zixuan's side, ever since Old Wu left, he had a vague feeling that Zuo Chenggong and his people had already started to target him both from the lingerie business and the clinic, and it's very likely the next step would be a direct confrontation!

As Liu Ruyan had said before, this is Zuo Chenggong's territory, and if Liu Zixuan wants to compete, he is at a disadvantage!

Firstly, the lingerie business hasn't truly taken root in Ghost Wood City, and secondly, in terms of clinic connections, he is not up to par with You Long and Old Wu!

So in these two aspects, Liu Zixuan has no advantage!

Of course, everything has two sides.

If Liu Zixuan wins in such a predicament, it will bring him boundless benefits; taking down Zuo Chenggong, his lingerie business will not only gain a firm foothold but also seize Zuo Chenggong's market.

As for the clinic, defeating the first National Doctor, Old Wu... then Liu Zixuan's status in the medical community of Ghost Wood City will be unshakable!

So this is a contest where losing means departure and winning brings ample rewards!

Liu Zixuan must take it seriously.

In this disadvantageous battle, can Liu Zixuan win?

The turbulent Ghost Wood City is surging with hidden currents, and an internal struggle from two industries is officially underway!

Around noon, Liu Zixuan had lunch with Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yiyi, then they headed together to the clinic.

However, by the side of the road in front of his clinic stood a few young men, holding colorful flyers and distributing them to passersby.

As Liu Zixuan and his companions passed by, one young man approached and handed him a flyer, "Sir, take a look. The clinic across is having a promotion; if needed, you can check it out!"

Liu Zixuan took the flyer, glanced at it, and suddenly sneered.

The flyer said: "Headache and fever 88!"

"Heatstroke and cough 188"

A few other illnesses were listed, most priced between 288-888.

Liu Zixuan smirked, "You Long is using treatment as a marketing ploy!"

"Obviously he's against you." Jiang Yiyi said.

Liu Zixuan shrugged and looked at the young men, "How much is the owner of the clinic across paying you?"

"Eighty a day!" the young men grinned, seemingly students.

"I'll give you a hundred, throw away these flyers, wander around this street, and drum up business for me, how about it!" Liu Zixuan pointed at "Suspended Pot Hall", "That's my clinic!"

"Really a hundred?" The young men asked in surprise.

Liu Zixuan directly took out a wad of cash from his pocket, "Here's your advance payment, come find me for the rest after you're done!"

Originally expected some hesitation from them, but seeing so much money, they threw their flyers into the trash without a second thought and said to Liu Zixuan, "Sure, we'll help you!"

Liu Zixuan watched the young men leave and chuckled, "You Long, You Long, you think a little trick can beat me?"

"I'm sure he has other tricks." Liu Ruyan said, furrowing her brows.

Liu Zixuan thought for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed, "It's me, come to Ghost Wood City and find me at Suspended Pot Hall!"

"Who did you call?" Jiang Yiyi asked.

"That's a secret for now!" Liu Zixuan replied with a mysterious smile, then led the two beauties into the clinic, sliced a watermelon, and chatted away.

As Liu Ruyan had predicted, You Long was fully prepared. Seeing the young men handing out flyers bought off by Liu Zixuan, he promptly contacted others.

These people weren't students, but rather ruffian-like men with tattoos of dragons and wind on their bodies, looking fierce and menacing!

At around one o'clock, these men showed up with weapons directly at the entrance of Liu Zixuan's clinic!

"Coming for treatment?" A ruffian asked.

A middle-aged man nodded in fear.

"Don't go to Suspended Pot Hall, go to Miao Shou Hall across!" The ruffian glared at the man, "If you don't go, you'll get a taste of my weapon!"

The middle-aged man shivered in fright and hurried to Miao Shou Hall!

Several patients in succession faced the same situation, resulting in no business for Liu Zixuan, while Miao Shou Hall's business thrived!

"This trick is really despicable." Jiang Yiyi grumbled unhappily, "He's doing it on purpose, and with such disgraceful methods, it's really shameful!"

"Don't panic. The show is just beginning!" Liu Zixuan shrugged, if they're playing, they'll play together; he's not afraid!

If You Long doesn't show up, neither will Liu Zixuan!

Let's see who will hold out to the end!

Around two o'clock, You Long stepped out of the clinic, sauntering over to Suspended Pot Hall, looked at Liu Zixuan eating watermelon at the entrance, "So relaxed, usually so many patients, but none today?"

"Not the time yet!" Liu Zixuan smiled, "Want to have some watermelon, lest you get worked up later!"

"Me worked up? You're the one at risk of losing your temper." You Long rubbed his wrist, "Oh, so many patients of mine, I can't keep up!"

After speaking, he glanced at the ruffians with a gleeful expression!

But... just as he was about to continue mocking Liu Zixuan, a scene occurred that instantly changed his expression!

From the intersection, three Gold Cup cars drove straight over and stopped at the entrance of Suspended Pot Hall, fifteen or sixteen people got out swiftly, surrounding the ruffians completely!
