Chapter 63: A War Without Gunsmoke

  Wu Rui took a bath and changed into a new long gown, suddenly feeling refreshed and invigorated. Although the air on Earth was far inferior to that of Osen Star, Wu Rui felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity upon returning here, as if Earth were his true home.

  Just as Wu Rui was silently lamenting, Xu Niang walked over slowly, gently tidying up his long gown while sweetly saying: "Wu Rui, are you done with your bath? Let's move to the clinic!"

  Wu Rui's muscles tensed up, and even his hair stood on end as he scrutinized her with a pretentious air: "You're not sick!"

  "You're the one who's sick!" Xu Niang was so provoked that she immediately transformed back into her true form, puffed out her chest and shouted: "Quickly pack up your things and return the house, move to the infirmary to live!"

  "Ah...this is normal!" Wu Rui let out a deep breath, his face relaxed.

  "You..." Xu's hair was standing on end with rage, her face somewhat constipated.

  Wu Rui didn't have much luggage, just a Daoist bag for disguise, which he carried on his shoulder and left the house with Xu Niang, who had a dark face. When they reached the bottom of the community building, he suddenly turned back to Xu Niang and said: "I still have two patients to rush over and see, I can only go back to the clinic after finishing them, otherwise you can go back first!"

  "What's with the nagging? I'm your agent, it's only right that I take you to see patients! Get in the car quickly!" Xu Niang gave him a displeased glance before getting into her bright red sports car.

  Wu Rui shrugged and got into the passenger seat, reciting Chen Lao's home address along the way.

  "Are you going to see the wife of that DVD peddler for medical treatment?" As soon as Wu Rui gave out the address, Xu Niang asked a sentence with a confused expression, and at the same time, she skillfully started the car and quickly drove away from the community.

  "Huh? How did you know?" Wu Rui looked at his agent in surprise.

  "A few days ago I went to look for him and asked about you, but he was also looking for you." Xu Niang replied with a bad tone.

  Wu Rui didn't say anything, but in his heart he was quite moved. This agent, although on the surface very casual and not very polite to himself, actually had a kind heart!

  But then Xu suddenly added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that you'll disappear and I won't be able to make money from you anymore."

  Wu Rui rolled her eyes and casually asked: "You like money that much? With those 400 million, you won't be able to spend it all in your lifetime, right?"

  "Money, of course, I love it!" Xu said without hiding her desire for money, but then she muttered to herself with a hint of sadness: "Don't be fooled by our glamorous appearance, driving sports cars and living in luxurious mansions. Our fate is not in our own hands. The only way for me to gain a few more years of youth and freedom is to make even more money. Otherwise, one day I'll become just another pawn to be traded away."

  "...” As she said this, Xu Niang turned her head to glance at Wu Rui, only to find him lost in thought. His expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he muttered to himself before stepping on the gas and speeding off into the distance.

  The bright red sports car soon stopped in front of the old brick house, and Chen Bingxuan, who had heard the sound of the car, pushed open the door to come out. He found that this time, apart from Xu Manli, Wu Rui was also sitting in the passenger seat. He excitedly welcomed him: "Wu Rui, you're back! My dad has gone to set up a stall, I'll call him to come back."

  After waiting for so long, Wu Rui finally arrived. Thinking that her mother's foot could be cured, Chen Bingxuan felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.

  "I'm not here to bother you, Chen Lao. I've come this time to treat your mother's illness. Your father is also busy with business outside, so let's not disturb him!" Wu Rui hastily waved his hand to stop him, his voice firm and unyielding. It was just a simple treatment, no need to be too troubled or spend too much money.

  "But..." Chen Bingxuan was somewhat embarrassed, she knew that her father wasn't easy to deal with, but she believed that he would rather see her mother recover in person. However, seeing Wu Rui's resolute expression, Chen Bingxuan couldn't oppose him and had no choice but to agree. At the same time, she called out to Xu Niang who was getting out of the driver's seat: "Ms. Xu."

  "Miss Chen, don't be too hard on yourself. Why not give your father a surprise when he gets back? Besides, Wu Rui just returned to Goose City and rushed over in a hurry, there are still many things to attend to. If you want to thank him, come visit the clinic when you have time!" Xu Manli comforted Chen Bingxuan with a calm and collected demeanor, without any arrogance or condescension.

  Wu Rui nodded secretly, this Xu girl was usually crazy and silly, but when it came to handling important matters, she was reliable, not disappointing his trust.

  "It turned out to be like that, please come in, both of you!" Wu Rui rushed back and hurried over, Chen Bingxuan was moved in her heart, and she didn't mind anymore, busily and warmly inviting the two into the house.

  Madam Chen's foot has actually recovered seven or eight tenths after the last treatment and this period of traditional Chinese medicine cooking, but because there was no order from Wu Rui, she didn't dare to get out of bed. This time, Wu Rui directly eliminated the stubborn disease in Madam Chen's leg meridians, as long as she adapts, she can walk on the ground at any time.

  Under the warm farewell of Chen's mother and daughter, Wu Rui and Xu Niang left the Chen family.

  "Where is the next stop?" asked Xu Niang, who was driving, without turning her head.

  "Yang Xiang Advertising Company." Wu Rui replied casually.

  "Hiss......" But Xu Manli's reaction was huge, she suddenly slammed on the brakes and asked in shock: "Can you cure Yang Xiaomi's illness?"

  "Do you know them?" Wu Rui couldn't help but ask curiously, how did this agent's connections become so extensive?

  "Not very familiar, can only say that I know her!" Xu Niang shook her head and drove the sports car towards Yang Xiang Advertising Company.

  Wu Rui felt that Xu Niang's expression was very strange, but he didn't open his mouth to ask more questions. In his heart, he thought it should be related to Yang Xiang's maternal family. From the time when Shan Long Bang found fault with her, Wu Rui could easily discover that Yang Widow's life had been quite bumpy.

  A red sports car stopped in front of the Yang Xiang Advertising Company, and Wu Rui had just gotten out of the car when a dense sound of high heels came from inside, followed by the noble and charming Yang Xiang hastily rushing out, grabbing Wu Rui's arm with both hands, her eyes reddening as she said: "Wu Rui, you've finally come back!"

  A very simple sentence, yet it contains too many thoughts, beyond the thoughts between patients' families and doctors.

  Yang Xuan, in her excitement, didn't notice that her proud bosom was tightly pressed against Wu Rui's arm. This alone was enough to make Wu Rui's heart flutter endlessly. Those gentle and affectionate eyes were capable of melting any man's soul, enough to make even the most chaste man forget her widow status. This is what a woman should be like - soft as water, enchanting, intoxicating, making one desire possession.

  For some reason, Xu felt very uncomfortable when she saw the ambiguous behavior of the two people outside the car, especially Wu Rui's pig-like appearance made her feel even more annoyed. She stomped her feet heavily and pushed open the car door with force, coughing: "Cough...cough..."

  Yang Xuan and Wu Rui both took a step back at the same time, Yang Xuan's face was flushed with temptation, while Wu Rui looked slightly embarrassed.

  Yang Xuan, after all, was a seasoned person and quickly put away the earlier awkwardness, smiling graciously: "So Manli is also here, do you know Wu Rui?"

  Xu Gong Nang also resolutely didn't mention the matter earlier, and with a playful smile said: "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Elder Sister Xuan. Now I'm Wu Rui's agent!"

  "Broker?" Yang Xuanfeng's eyes slightly furrowed, casting an inquiring gaze at Wu Rui.

  "Heh heh...... Not bad." Wu Rui dryly smiled and nodded in confirmation.

  Yang Xiang's willow eyebrows rose slightly, but on the surface, she remained calm and composed, smiling graciously at Xu Niang as she praised: "Man Li has a great eye for talent, Wu Rui's medical skills are unmatched, I'm even envious that you get to be his agent!"

  "Hehe, that's it!" Xujie didn't show any humility at all, and proudly accepted the other person's praise. But then her tone changed as she said: "Xuanjie, where's Xiaomi? Wu Rui has a lot of things to take care of today, and after seeing Xiaomi's illness, there are still many things to do!"

  "Really!" Yang Xuan pretended to be deep in thought, but actually shifted her gaze to Wu Rui, and found that Wu Rui's face was calm, so she understood and didn't expose him. She slightly turned her phoenix eyes, using sparkling eyes to look at Wu Rui and asked: "Xiao Mi is at home now, that girl is not feeling well, Wu Rui, can you accompany me back for a trip?"

  "Fox spirit!" Xu Xianger cursed in her heart, but on the surface, she still wore a smile. At this time, it was not good to interrupt directly, so she could only remind Wu Rui tactfully: "It's so late now, we shouldn't disturb Xuan Jie, how about waiting for another day when Xuan Jie is free and then bring Xiao Mi to our clinic?"

  Yang Xiang looked at Xu Niang deeply, but didn't budge: "But... Wu Rui, I have your first painting album at home, aren't you in a hurry to get it? Moreover, I hope Xiao Mi can recover soon, and since my place isn't far away, I won't disturb you for too long."

  The sudden smell of gunpowder made Wu Rui feel inexplicable, seeing Xu Niang still wanting to say something, he immediately interrupted: "I don't have anything else to do now, I'll go treat Xiao Mi! Incidentally, I'll get the first album."

  "What picture book? What picture book?" Xujie only then discovered that there were things in it that she didn't know about, and at the moment felt as if she had been betrayed, feeling very displeased. If the fox spirit hadn't still been present, she would have already been unable to bear asking Wu Rui questions!

  "What's it to you?" Xu Niang asked with a tone that made Wu Rui somewhat displeased, and he retorted back at her.

  "You......" Xu Xianger stuttered for half a day, unable to utter the second word, her face turned red with anger.

  "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Wu Rui, get in my car, I have some things to ask you. Manli, just follow behind us in your car!" Yang Xuan hastily intervened, but it was more like she was driving a wedge between them, directly helping Xu Jie out and leaving her unable to interject.

  Xu Niang is very clever and has a unique perspective, otherwise she wouldn't have become Wu Rui's agent so resolutely. However, when it comes to schemes, she is far inferior to Yang Xuan, and her clumsy attempts at manipulation will ultimately harm herself.

  "Alright!" Upon hearing Yang Xiang say that, Wu Rui didn't refuse either and followed Yang Xiang into her car before Xu Niang could even speak up.

  "Fox spirit! I absolutely won't let you get away with this!" Seeing Yang Xuan had already started the car and driven off with Wu Rui, Xu Niang stomped her foot in anger, hastily got into her own beloved car, started the engine and followed after them.
