Chapter 90: Retrieving the Bullet Empty-Handed

Book:The All-powerful Son-In-Law Published:2024-6-3

“Dr. Lee, you are highly respected. If it were you treating Miss Renee, I’d believe without a doubt. But that so-called young Chinese doctor in her room is just a young man with raging hormones. What if he couldn’t control himself and did something to Miss? Her innocence would be ruined!” Kenneth Joshua anxiously pleaded.
Hearing this, August Browne’s expression showed hesitation. Concerning his daughter’s life and innocence, he couldn’t afford to take risks.
Seeing August Browne about to push open the door, Ella quickly added, “Chairman, if it weren’t for Leo today, none of us would be alive now.”
“What? Leo defeated the Flying Dragon Business Association people? Not you?” August Browne couldn’t believe it.
Ella had to explain the whole story, skipping the part where Dr. Lee’s disciple got scared and ran away.
After hearing Ella’s account, August Browne was stunned and confirmed once again, “Leo defeated four Red Fire Guards?”
“Yes, and Dr. Lee witnessed it,” Ella nodded.
August Browne looked at Dr. Lee, and he also nodded.
Now August Browne was completely shocked. The Azure Cloud Group had been struggling with the Flying Dragon Business Association for many years, and he was well aware of their strength.
The Red Fire Guards, with red flames tattooed on their arms, were a detachment sent by the Fiery Blaze Sect to the Flying Dragon Business Association, totaling nine members, known collectively as the Nine Fiery Guards.
The cultivation level of the Red Fire Guards was that of martial warriors, and it was said that their leader had already reached the level of an upper-level martial warrior.
For all four Red Fire Guards to be defeated by Leo was unimaginable, showing how strong Leo’s skills were.
Kenneth Joshua sneered and speculated, “Chairman, how could the Red Fire Guards of the Flying Dragon Business Association be defeated so easily? Is it possible that Leo conspired with the Flying Dragon Business Association and infiltrated the Azure Cloud Group?”
August Browne shook his head, “Sacrificing three Red Fire Guards just to send an undercover agent in? The Fiery Blaze Sect and the Flying Dragon Business Association wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.”
“Leo was invited here temporarily by me from Wilde Jewelry Company. Before inviting him, I didn’t tell him who he was going to treat. If he conspired with the Flying Dragon Business Association, then I must have conspired with them too,” Dr. Lee looked at Kenneth Joshua.
Kenneth’s face wore an awkward smile, “Dr. Lee, you are kidding. How could you conspire with the Flying Dragon Business Association…”
Although Dr. Lee was just a doctor, Kenneth knew very well that he held considerable influence. After all, the old man knew too many high-ranking officials.
August Browne waved his hand, “Stop arguing about these unimportant matters. Let’s wait downstairs.”
August Browne led the way downstairs, followed closely by Dr. Lee and Ella. Kenneth took a deep look at the bedroom door before following them downstairs.
He had already made up his mind. If that guy Leo failed to retrieve the bullet or if anything happened to Renee, he would be the first to blame him.
Renee’s room was spacious, faintly smelling of Chanel perfume.
After Leo absorbed and cultivated the spiritual energy from the jade, he stood up from the ground.
Originally, he intended to remove the bullet from Renee immediately, but his gaze was attracted by the photos on the wall.
There were many pictures on the wall, mostly of Anna. Looking at Anna’s big, naive eyes, smiling so happily in the photos, Leo’s mood also brightened.
Luckily, Anna seemed to be not here today; otherwise, if she saw her mother injured, she might be devastated.
Leo also noticed something peculiar: there was not a single picture of a man in this room, nor were there any male belongings.
Since Renee had a daughter, she should have been married, but since the car accident, Leo hadn’t seen Renee’s husband appear.
Putting these thoughts aside for now, Leo walked to the bedside.
Renee was still unconscious, but thankfully, her breathing was steady, and her heartbeat was strong, indicating that she wasn’t in immediate danger.
Leo looked at her legs, hesitating for a moment, and finally lifted her skirt.
The stockings on her thighs had been cut open by Dr. Lee, revealing the bloody, tender white skin Mr. Billeath.
Although the wound had stopped bleeding, it still looked frightening. The spiritual power he had infused earlier wouldn’t last long. If the bullet wasn’t removed, it would start bleeding again sooner or later.
Leo activated his spiritual power, then reached out his right hand and gently grasped the wounded area on Renee’s thigh.
Control!
Leo had already sensed the location of the bullet and used his spiritual power to slowly move it out.
As the bullet moved, Renee let out a painful groan and a painful expression appeared on her face due to the secondary injury.
It was better to get it done quickly. Leo pulled back with his right hand.
The bullet flew out of Renee’s leg and landed in Leo’s hand. At the same time, blood spurted out from the wound, and Leo quickly pressed his left hand on it.
The intense pain caused Renee to suddenly open her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Leo’s face, with a hint of bloodstains.
Feeling the pain inside her thigh rapidly dissipate, Renee followed Leo’s left hand and looked at the injured area on her thigh…
“Ah, Leo, what are you doing!?” Renee exclaimed, her face flushing.
“The bullet has been removed. Now, I’ll stop the bleeding for you,” Leo replied.
“Stop the bleeding with your hand?”
“How else can you stop the bleeding without using your hand?”
Leo stated it as a matter of fact, leaving Renee speechless for a moment.
Thankfully, Leo soon let go of his hand. Apart from the fresh blood that had spurted out earlier, the wound had stopped bleeding.
Leo stood up from the bedside and said, “Alright, I’ve temporarily treated your wound. I’ll apply some medicine to it later. In a week, you’ll be able to bounce around, and the wound won’t leave any scars.”
“Really?” Renee was ecstatic. Being beautiful was every woman’s nature, and she didn’t want any scars on her body, even though this scar was usually not visible.
“Of course. First, I’ll lend you the bathroom for a shower. Rest in bed for a while,” Leo said and went into the en-suite bathroom in the bedroom.
As Leo entered the bathroom and closed the door, Renee suddenly remembered something. Her face turned blushed, and she urgently shouted, “Leo, you can’t come in now…”
Unfortunately, Leo had already entered and closed the door, not hearing what Renee was saying outside.
The bathroom was spacious, with a large bathtub besides the shower area.
Leo quickly took off his clothes and was about to place them on the shelf when he suddenly saw two items.
Both items were women’s personal belongings, which cannot be explicitly described here, so you can use your imagination.
