chapter 16 you threaten me

At that time, a Mercedes-Benz luxury car parked outside the Jiang Clinic, followed by an Audi sedan. Jacob Zhang, the secretary, got out of the car and opened the door to welcome Luca Li. From the car behind, six men in white shirts and suits immediately got out, lining up on both sides of the Jiang Clinic's entrance, waiting respectfully. "Such grandeur, who is this person?" Henry Chen and Jadyn Wang from Uncle Henry's Clinic, as well as some doctors and passers-by from the neighboring Chunxin Clinic, saw the luxurious cars and guards and wondered which big boss had arrived. "It looks like he's here for Noah Jiang." "Did this kid cause some trouble outside?" "I don't know, let's see." People like Henry Chen and Jadyn Wang, who enjoyed watching drama, were eager to see someone challenge Noah. They stood at the entrance, munching on sunflower seeds and enjoying the show. Luca Li got out of the car with a gloomy face and strode into the Jiang Clinic. He saw Noah Jiang leaning against a medicine cabinet, idly dusting with a feather duster, and angrily shouted, "You little brat, how dare you betray me!" The previous night he had consulted with the Divine Doctor Lin from Rebde Clinic and found out why he was impotent. It turned out he had been struck by a certain acupoint and needed the one who struck the point to release it. Seeing Luca Li and his entourage, Noah Jiang smirked, dusting casually, and pretending to be harmless, "I don't know what you're talking about." "You're still denying it? I've had someone check, it was you who secretly inserted that silver needle into me last night!" Luca Li slammed the counter, pointing at Noah, "Young man, you have guts. Throughout Yulin City, no one has dared to betray me. You're the first." "Oh, I'm honored then." Noah Jiang replied with narrowed eyes, sneering at Luca Li. The onlookers at the entrance, including Henry Chen and Jadyn Wang, didn't know what was being discussed inside. Given the situation, it seemed Noah Jiang had offended this influential figure. Henry Chen couldn't help but sneer, "Noah Jiang, you really are a troublemaker, daring to provoke anyone. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death in the streets?" "Exactly. Better not bring trouble to our Traditional Chinese Medicine Street, or you'll find we won't tolerate you." Jadyn Wang leaned against the door, munching sunflower seeds, and scoffed at Noah. Noah ignored them, continuing to dust, overlooking the fuming Luca Li. Seeing Noah's dismissive attitude, Luca Li's anger reached its peak. He had never encountered such a defiant young man. "Young man, release my acupoint now, or I'll have you killed." Luca Li suppressed his rage. If not for needing Noah to release his acupoint, he would have had him disposed of in the Huanglong River. Noah, holding the duster, turned and smiled at Luca Li, "Only I can release the acupoint. If you kill me, you'll never be able to perform again." Luca Li was furious, pointing at him, "Are you threatening me?" Noah glared at Luca Li and coldly retorted, "You made indecent advances on my wife. Shouldn't I be allowed to take some action?" It was already quite merciful of him not to kill this scumbag with a silver needle the previous night. Luca Li, with his eyes wide open, was so angry that his hand trembled. He pointed at Noah Jiang and said: "Alright, alright, I can overlook what happened last night. State your terms." "It's simple. Give the development rights of the Lindong Area in New Century City to Ye Group," Noah Jiang said coldly. At this, Luca Li's eyes bulged. He suddenly realized and cursed: "You little rascal, so you were waiting for me here." Noah Jiang was indifferent, smirking: "You can refuse or deal with me. But you should forget about this," referring to something implied. "You..." Luca Li was so angry that his whole body trembled. The thought of not being able to be with women in the future was even more painful to him than death. "Fine, you're capable. I admit defeat. I'll call Mayor Alan Tao right now and tell him to give the Lindong Area development rights in New Century City to Ye Group," Luca Li compromised. Facing a Cindy Ye, he'd rather choose countless other women. Luca Li personally called Mayor Alan Tao, saying he was willing to hand over the Lindong Area development project to the Ye Group. This made Mayor Alan Tao very puzzled. He didn't know why the always arrogant and domineering Luca Li suddenly changed his attitude and didn't want to earn money when there was such an opportunity to do so. Mayor Alan Tao, unaware of the situation, still called Cindy Ye personally. At the Ye Group's headquarters, in the CEO's office, Cindy Ye, who was sitting on her office chair, had just instructed Cece Deng to withdraw from the Lindong Area bidding. Her phone rang. Seeing it was Mayor Alan Tao's number, she raised an eyebrow and answered: "Hello, Mayor Tao. What can I do for you?" "Miss Ye, Mr. Li just called me. He said that the Ye Group has the capability and determination to develop the Lindong Area New Century City project well. So he wants me to give the development rights to the Ye Group. When can you come to my office to discuss the project?" Mayor Alan Tao, in his official position, laughed. Cindy Ye was stunned and took a moment to respond. After Mayor Tao called out to her a couple of times, she finally responded: "Is this Mr. Li's idea?" "Hehe, the Lindong Area New Century City project is in response to the national call. Naturally, it's up to us to decide who develops it. So, Miss Ye, come to my office now so we can discuss the contract," Mayor Alan Tao laughed. "Alright, I'll be right there." Cindy Ye was excited. Even though Mayor Tao didn't say it explicitly, she knew it must be Luca Li's doing. Without his agreement, the Lindong Area wouldn't be offered to her. "Miss Ye, why did Mr. Li suddenly give up the competition? Is he plotting something?" Cece Deng asked Cindy Ye, puzzled. "Hmm, I can't figure it out either. Why would he suddenly be so kind-hearted? But if Mayor Tao said so, it must be true!" Cindy Ye's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She found it hard to believe and wondered what Luca Li was up to. "Let's go to Mayor Tao's office first and see what's going on." Cindy Ye stood up, taking Cece Deng to the Mayor's office to understand the situation. Although she didn't know why Luca Li did what he did, she had put so much effort into the Lindong Area just to get Ye Group into the real estate field. Now that she had the opportunity, she wouldn't give it up easily. Jiang Clinic. "Kid, are you satisfied now? I've already given the development rights of the Lindong Area to the Ye Group. Now hurry up and release me," Luca Li glared, shouting at Noah Jiang. Noah Jiang stopped what he was doing and said, "I need to see in the news that the Ye Group has secured the development rights for the Lindong Area. Otherwise, don't expect me to unlock your acupoints." "You—" Seeing Noah Jiang's firm attitude, Luca Li was as furious as thunder, wishing he could go up and give him a severe lesson. However, his future happiness was in Jiang's hands, and for a moment, Luca Li felt really helpless against him. "Fine, kid, just you wait." Luca Li pointed at Noah Jiang, nodding repeatedly, so angry he was grinding his teeth, then stormed off with Jacob Zhang and others. Noah Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly. He had anticipated that Luca Li would come begging to him. Compared to a man's pleasure, nothing else mattered anymore. Watching Luca Li and others drive away, Ethan Chen, Jadyn Wang, and others rolled their eyes. They hung around for a while but didn't see this group do anything to Noah Jiang, found it dull, and dispersed awkwardly. Noah Jiang continued in the clinic, organizing the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet. Not long after, a middle-aged woman appeared at the door, accompanied by a young girl with a pale face, calling out to Noah Jiang inside, "Young man, is there a doctor to consult with?" Startled by the woman's voice, Noah Jiang quickly turned around. Seeing someone actively seeking medical help, he said excitedly, "I am a doctor. Please, come in." "Oh, you must be the new neighbour who moved in nearby? You can't go in and have him treat you." A sneaky-looking middle-aged man ran out from the neighboring Chunxin Clinic and pointed at the Jiang Clinic, shouting to the middle-aged woman. "Why not? Isn't this a clinic?" the woman asked in confusion, looking at the Jiang Clinic. "It is a clinic, yes, but you don't know. The Jiang Clinic is not what it was two years ago. Ever since the divine doctor Jiang passed away and left the clinic to his grandson, it has gone downhill. Look at how desolate it is. That young man inside is Noah Jiang, the grandson of the divine doctor Jiang. His medical skills are mediocre and incompetent. He prescribed the wrong medication last time and almost killed someone. So, you'd better not take your child in for him to treat, to avoid any issues," Issac Lin, a doctor from Chunxin Clinic, pointed at Noah Jiang inside, advising the woman in a tone of concern. Upon hearing Issac Lin's words, Noah Jiang's face turned livid, and he was seething with anger.
