Chapter 8 Fire

Upon hearing Yao Jianguo and his wife’s words, Song Zhenhai glanced at Xiao Shun in implication. He could tell Xiao Shun had been pretty humble in his family.

“All right. I’ll ask if Wang Ye has time. Dr. Xiao, please don’t reject me.”

Xiao Shun was munching the food. Upon hearing Song Zhenhai’s words, he nodded his agreement calmly.

Watching the scene, the Yaos burst into anger. They couldn’t believe Xiao Shun behaved so arrogantly in Song Zhenhai’s presence. Who did he think he was?

After the banquet ended, everyone walked Song Zhenhai and Song Linger out of the restaurant.

“Dr. Xiao, see you around. I’ll call you in three days,” Song Zhenhai said while shaking hands with Xiao Shun kindly.

“OK. See you.”

Xiao Shun beamed at him, not arrogantly nor humbly. He was an evident contrary to the humble Yaos with flattering smiles.

“Take care, Mr. Song,” Yao Zhenshu said respectfully.

After watching them leave, Ouyang Zheng also bid them farewell. Before leaving, he patted Xiao Shun’s shoulder and said, “Mr. Xiao, please don’t take things happening today to your heart. When you have time, please come to Ouyang Villa. I owe you an apology.”

“It really doesn’t matter, Mr. Ouyang. Thank you, though,” Xiao Shun replied perfunctorily.

Of course, he knew Ouyang Zheng had been polite because of his relationship with Song Zhenhai and Master Lotus.

After all, respect and politeness didn’t touch Ouyang Zheng’s eyes, unlike when Song Zhenhai was still here.

After all the guests were gone, Yao Zhenshu’s expression changed immediately. He put away his smile and snorted, “Xiao Shun, when Mr. Song calls you, you must tell me. Understand?”

“Ehn,” Xiao Shun replied with a grunt, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his slacks.

He wasn’t surprised by the Yaos’ change of attitude. However, for the time being, he wouldn’t leave the Yao family, so he would have plenty of time to avenge himself and make the Yaos regret what they had done and apologize.

“Let’s go,” Yao Zhenshu said coldly.

He sat in a black luxury car parked at the entrance. Only his own offspring followed him back to Yao's Old House.

Before leaving, Yao Han sneered at Xiao Shun, “Keep what’s happened today in mind, rubbish!”

When he spoke, he still felt the burning on his cheek. Besides, Song Zhenhai and Ouyang Zheng both showed their respect to Xiao Shun earlier, so Yao Han was burning with hatred.

In his opinion, only he deserved such treatment, but Xiao Shun didn’t.

Xiao Shun looked at him as if he was watching a simpleton, a clown.

He left with Yao Cen and her parents after the others were dismissed. Xiao Shun sat in the passenger’s seat, and Yao Cen’s parents sat in the backseat.

Once sitting in the car, Liu Yunxiang frowned deeply and asked harshly, “Xiao Shun, how did you know Song Zhenhai?”

“I saved his life in the bank,” Xiao Shun answered simply, furrowing his brows.

Liu Yunxiang snorted, rolling her eyes at him. “Stop lying. Think I don’t know you? You know nothing about medicine. You wouldn’t lead such a lousy life if you were a doctor.”

“I wonder what is wrong with Song Zhenhai. How could he respect such a lame duck like you? You were just lucky. If Song Zhenhai didn’t mediate, Cen would definitely divorce you.”

In her opinion, Xiao Shun deliberately asked Song Zhenhai to come over to stop the divorce.

Yao Jianguo closed his eyes for a rest. He chimed in coldly, “I don’t think so. If we unite the Song family, our family will achieve higher social status soon.”

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and added, “I agree. Anyway, you can stay at our house for the time being. After this matter ends, you must divorce my daughter.”

Upon hearing her parents’ insult to Xiao Sun, Yao Cen felt upset, but she repressed her irritation in silence.

After all, they always scolded Xiao Shun in this way.

However, Xiao Shun was different from before. Since he had fulfilled his three-year agreement with his master, he was unwilling to tolerate them.

Besides, they had gone too far.

Xiao Shun sneered, “Since you want us to divorce so eagerly, I don’t mind. Make a turn. Let’s go to the City Council now.”

“What did you say?”

Yao Cen frowned and glared at him.

Liu Yunxiang didn’t expect Xiao Shun to fight back. She went ballistic and snapped, “How arrogant! How dare you talk back! Think you can do things wantonly after knowing Song Zhenhai, and you can disdain our Yao family, huh?”

“Mind you. As long as you are still Cen’s husband, you must be obedient to me.”

After she finished her words, Xiao Shun looked in the rearview mirror, and his pupils constricted. He quickly grabbed the steering wheel from Yao Cen’s hands and turned to the extreme. The colossal inertia turned over the vehicle immediately.

While the car was rolling on the street, they heard a deafening explosion. The heated waves rushed toward the vehicle.

Xiao Shun growled and released all his vital energy to protect all people in the car.

Although they felt pain when the car rolled, Xiao Shun prevented them from being burnt by the fire and wounded by the waves' strong impact.

After rolling several times, the car stopped before hitting the fence of the green belt. Fortunately, the car was of high quality. With Xiao Shun’s protection, they looked a bit messy.

After crawling out of the car, Liu Yunxiang was still in a lingering fear. Her hair was messy, and her heart was thumping. Seeing Xiao Shun watch in the distance seriously, she bounced up in anger and cursed, “You fucking lunatic! Do you want to kill us?”

Like a madwoman, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Shun across his face. However, no palm print appeared on Xiao Shun’s cheek. Instead, Liu Yunxiang felt a cracking pain in her palm, hissing, and moaning.

Xiao Shun looked back at her coldly. Coincidentally, she hit the vital energy that protected his own body.

If he hadn’t withdrawn it on time, Liu Yunxiang’s hand bones would have been cracked.

However, the crazy woman didn’t know he had shown mercy but thought he had done it deliberately.

“You ungrateful jerk! Our family raised you for years. How dare you! Get the fuck out of my sight!” Liu Yunxiang cursed hoarsely.

Yao Jianguo was also furious. Pointing at Xiao Shun, he snapped, “You psycho! Do you want to kill us because Cen wants to divorce you? I’m gonna call the police, you murderer!”

Yao Cen noticed the car accident behind them, blood draining from her pale.

Behind them, a tanker hit the fence and caused an explosion. All the vehicles collided with the exploded tanker, and there was a sea of fire instantly. Countless people escaped with fire on them, rolling on the ground.

The scene was chaotic, along with the people’s miserable cries.

“Xiao Shun, you’ve caused everything. Are you happy now?” Yao Cen snapped at him, icy covering her face.

In her opinion, Xiao Shun grabbed the steering wheel from her, so the tanker behind them failed to dodge and hit the fence. Then the explosion and the huge car accidents were caused.

Xiao Shun looked at her coldly without retorting to her.

Earlier, he saw a black Mustang accelerating to hit their car in the rearview mirror, and a tanker was behind them. If he hadn’t reacted on time, all of them would die in the fire.

The fire was out of control, and the rescue teams arrived to fight the fire and rescue the injured.

The Yaos still cursed Xiao Shun.

“You bastard! Our family is unlucky to raise such an ungrateful scumbag like you,” Liu Yunxiang shouted in abuse.

Yao Jianguo echoed angrily, “Divorce my daughter after returning home. You are a hoodoo!”

Xiao Shun ignored them, gazing at the fire nearby solemnly.

Although the rescue teams had arrived, the fire was too fierce for anyone to get close. The firefighters only dared to fight it outside. Most people had escaped on time, groaning and rolling on the road, waiting for medical help.

However, Xiao Shun sensed a man struggling in the fire.

He guessed it was the tank driver. He huddled to the door, struggling to survive. However, Xiao Shun could tell he was almost dying.

If he couldn’t be rescued shortly, he would surely be dead.

At this critical moment, Xiao Shun didn’t want to hide his competence. He focused, releasing the power and energy in an instant. The vital energy formed a layer to protect him.

His energy release shocked the Yaos, who bit back their curse on their lips.

They felt that Xiao Shun seemed to become another man, like an awakened monster.

The next second, he rushed into the fire.
