Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Under the lead of Gu Guangxuan, a group of people entered the factory area.

The factory area was huge and spacious.

But it was also eerily secluded; it took an hour's worth of effort to get here from the city center.

Walking to the central area inside, right in front, Ji Qiubai, clad in a suit and leather shoes, came over at a leisurely pace.

For a moment, the two sides faced off against each other.

Gu Guangxuan glanced at Ji Qiubai and said:

"Ji Qiubai, our people are already here. I advise you to release the hostages."

Ji Qiubai let out a faint smile, and at the same time, his minions hurriedly carried over a chair, placing it behind him, and he unceremoniously sat down.

A minion on the left lit his cigarette, while another on the right provided a light.

Ji Qiubai took a deep drag and exhaled a smoke ring, "Elder Gu, you never meddle in others' affairs in Jiangzhou. I advise you to think it over. While the gate is still open, take your people and leave. I'll pretend today's events never happened, and in the future, when we meet, I, Ji Qiubai, will still address you as Elder Gu."

Hearing this, Gu Guangxuan let out a cold snort and said:

"Since you call me Elder Gu, you should know who I am. Release my friend before I lose my patience."

Ji Qiubai flicked the unfinished cigarette from his hand, asking calmly, "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Guangxuan didn't speak, but his grandson Gu Qingshan did:

"Stop talking such nonsense. Yes, my Gu Family is indeed threatening you. What can you do about it? A petty Jiangzhou thug actually dares to be so arrogant - are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Ji Qiubai glanced sideways at Gu Qingshan and said, "And who are you?"

"I'm your grandfather!" Gu Qingshan, being a young man, was fiery with youth!

Just as the atmosphere was turning into a situation with swords drawn and bows bent, Gu Guangxuan raised his hand to block his grandson.

"Ji Qiubai, you're already Jiangzhou's boss, why do you have to do this?"

Ji Qiubai stood up, his hands buried in his pockets—

"Not at all, I can't bear the burden of being the boss. I've brought you here for no other reason than to simply invite everyone for a cup of tea."

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind her sister, smirked and said, "Who would want to drink tea here... I used to admire you so much, but now I think you're so annoying! Humph..."

Ji Qiubai recognized the little girl and simply smiled faintly, not stooping to argue with her.

"The reason you're doing this is simply to control Fang Yu." Gu Guangxuan spoke softly, "But do you even know Fang Yu?"

Ji Qiubai stood up, hands in his pockets—

"More than just knowing him, he's the brother who shared life and death with me eight years ago, we've shared meals from the same bowl, worn the same trousers. I dare say, in this world, no one understands him better than I do."

Gu Guangxuan let out a cold laugh and said, "If you really did understand him, then you wouldn't have done such a foolish thing today."

Ji Qiubai laughed.

"Elder Gu, why do you want to help Fang Yu?"

Gu Guangxuan did not answer.

Fang Yu had said, don't reveal their identities.

Ji Qiubai's expression remained calm as he said, "You come from the Lu Family, with such a prestigious position, yet you stand beside a street hoodlum. Do you really think I am that foolish?"

Gu Guangxuan widened his eyes, shocked; this kid was indeed smarter than he had imagined.

Jiang Wei asked in a low voice, "Elder Gu, what is the Lu Family?"

Xu Zhaopei answered quietly, "A Martial Arts Family."

These four words sent a shiver down Jiang Wei's spine.

Martial Artists were always respected; behind many companies lie such Martial Arts Families in support. Qingcheng Group had reached its current status in part because Jiang Wei had sought out Martial Artists and later the involvement of the Xiao Family had helped the company's development to some extent. She understood very well what Martial Artists represented.

"If you know that I come from the Lu Family, then you should understand why I want to help Fang Yu." Gu Guangxuan said tentatively.

"Elder Gu really knows how to joke, I'm not an Immortal, how could I possibly know everything?"

At this moment, Gu Qingshan shouted, "Grandfather, stop wasting words with him. This man is very cunning. If he doesn't release the hostage, I'll cripple him!"

In the midst of talking, Gu Qingshan leapt out!

The expressions of the crowd shifted subtly.

Ji Qiubai clapped his hands nonchalantly and said with a smile, "The calf doesn't fear the tiger... you are the Gu Family, indeed formidable. But do you think Ji Qiubai would fight an unprepared battle?

He suddenly turned slightly to face the second floor and said, "Lu Liancheng, it's your turn."

Whoosh!

A figure jumped down from the second floor.

Dressed in a Tang suit with an imposing presence, a pair of tiger-like eyes fixed on the crowd.

"Gu Guangxuan, it's been many years, I didn't expect to encounter you in Jiangzhou."

Upon the appearance of this man, Gu Guangxuan's face changed and he trembled, "Lu Liancheng?!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, after all these years, you're still serving others like a dog. Gu Guangxuan, you really have fallen lower and lower, no wonder back then you were expelled from the Sect by my Lu Family!"

Lu Liancheng mercilessly taunted.

Gu Guangxuan angrily retorted, "Lu Liancheng, how is your current behavior any different from a dog? You have no right to lecture me!"

"How dare you!"

Lu Liancheng barked, "Don't forget, your surname is still Gu, not Lu. In my eyes, you are nothing but a servant, daring to be impudent in front of me! Ji Qiubai, what are you waiting for? Close the doors for me, I can hardly wait!"

Ji Qiubai clapped his hands lightly and said indifferently, "As you wish."

Creak—

The doors closed tightly.

The entire factory area was plunged into dim lighting.

A strange atmosphere suddenly swept in.

Everyone couldn't help feeling frightened.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged her sister's arm and whispered, "Sister, I'm scared…"

"Don't be afraid, Grandfather Gu is here."

Xu Zhaopei frowned and stayed close beside her grandfather.

"Thinking you can leave after coming here? Dream on!" Lu Liancheng scoffed.

At this moment, Ji Qiubai, who was behind, said, "Lu Liancheng, my main goal is to use them to restrain Fang Yu. As long as Lu Youchao kills Fang Yu, there's no need to bother with these people."

Suddenly, Lu Liancheng turned back and sneered, "Ji Qiubai, who do you think you are to order me around?"

Ji Qiubai's body shook, and a fury was secretly burning within him.

But he knew he had to contain it.

"Don't forget, you took the money. To accept a person's money is to dispel his disasters!"

"You can rest assured on that point, my Lu Family has always been known for our credibility," Lu Liancheng said with a snarl, "However, such beauties shouldn't be wasted just like that."

With that, Lu Liancheng revelead a lewd smile!

Ji Qiubai remained silent, knowing full well that he couldn't completely control Lu Liancheng.

Instead of that, it was better to let him do as he wished, as long as the goal was achieved, any sacrifice was worth it!

"Lu Liancheng, how audacious!" Gu Guangxuan exclaimed.

Lu Liancheng laughed heartily and said:

"You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin... Gu Guangxuan, when you left the Lu Family, you were at the peak of Martial Arts Third Layer, right? Even if you've been progressing daily, now at most you'd be at the peak of Fourth Layer."

Gu Guangxuan's heart sank; he was caught off guard, not expecting Ji Qiubai to find Lu Liancheng. Lu Liancheng, a top-notch Martial Artist who has reached the peak of Martial Arts Fifth Layer!

"Additionally, the Fang Yu that you all wholeheartedly protect, by now he should already be dead... He was personally taken care of by a Sixth Layer Heaven expert from the Lu Family. Do you think he could still be alive?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei, Jiang Xiaoxiao, Xu Zhaopei, Xu Liu, and others' complexions drastically changed!
