One of the law enforcement officers recognized Chu Yang at a glance.

"Mr. Chu, it's you. This old man is disrespectful for his age. He's paralyzed in both legs. If he were to beg honestly, we wouldn't arrest him."

"The key issue is that he sells insects on the street, lying that they can beautify and nourish the skin. He also gropes the thighs of girls passing by. Do you know him?"

Chu Yang's lips twitched; he really didn't want to admit that he knew them.

However, he really needs this old monster now.

"Oh dear, how could I possibly know him? But he looks so pitiful, and you've already punished him today, so why don't I pay his fine and let him go?"

The officer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright! Anyway, he's so old and disabled, it's not easy for us to handle him. But for your sake, we won't take the fine. You can just take him away."

After thanking him repeatedly, Chu Yang carried the old monster from Miaojiang to a secluded corner.

"You're supposed to be a powerful figure in your own right, can you please stop being so sleazy?"

Chi Ming slumped to the ground, his face contorted with bitterness, and wept bitterly, lamenting the decline of morality.

After Chu Yang finished making the call, Warden Cui Yong sent someone to take him to the airport.

As soon as I got off the plane yesterday, a young and pretty girl came up to me and said that he looked kind and gentle.

The girl helped him with his luggage, invited him to her home for dinner that evening, and even borrowed a wheelchair from the airport to take him to the bathroom before disappearing.

He couldn't remember phone numbers, and no one was willing to help him.

He hadn't eaten anything all day yesterday, and his stomach was churning with hunger. He was thinking of selling some beauty-enhancing worms on the street, just to at least make a living.

Chu Yang rolled his eyes disdainfully. "You've wasted your life at your age. Selling insects is one thing, but why did you have to touch that girl's thigh?"

Chi Ming slapped his thigh in grievance, "No! I didn't! That girl squatted down to ask me a question, and I put the Gu worm on her thigh so she could experience it. Then she called the police."

"Sir! I have a lot of mother Gu worms in my suitcase. If they get out of control and something happens, won't I be implicated?"

In Miao areas, the finest Gu worms, selected through meticulous care, are called "mother Gu" and are used to breed other Gu worms.

If it gets out of control, the consequences are hard to imagine.

The key point is that the mother Gu in the hands of someone like Chi Ming are extremely lethal. If they were to reproduce indiscriminately, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them biological weapons.

Chu Yang called Xiao Zhi and asked him to send someone to the airport to investigate and see if they could find the girl who had deceived the old monster.

"Old monster, do you know Gu Shuofeng?"

Chi Ming immediately frowned, his expression turning serious.

"Have you seen him?"

Chu Yang recounted his encounter with Gu Shuofeng.

Chi Ming let out a long sigh.

"He is my grandson. My daughter was sickly from a young age and died in childbirth. My granddaughter has a very special constitution; she can absorb the toxicity of the poisons she comes into contact with."

"Sometimes, she couldn't control the toxins in her body and killed people. But under my protection, no one in Miao territory dared to harm them. But later, I was wanted by the imperial court and had to flee. The brother and sister then became the target of everyone's hatred."

Chu Yang roughly understood.

Gu Shuofeng said he was going to save someone, which must mean his sister.

Chi Ming continued, "The siblings had to hide all these years and suffered a lot. Later, I learned that my granddaughter, Gu Shengyao, had been poisoned. Xiao Feng must have created the poison puppet to save her."

Chu Yang suddenly had a thought, "You were behaving quite well in prison, so why did you suddenly cause trouble? Could it be...?"

"good!"

Chi Ming sighed sadly, "I wanted to ask the warden for leave to go see the siblings. But the warden refused to grant my request, so I thought I'd cause some trouble in Longyuan and escape in the chaos. I never expected that idiot Qiang would catch me and use his unique bone-dislocating technique to break the bones in both my legs. No one in this world can set them back together except him."

Chu Yang now feels that he had let Sha Qiang go too far back then.

Actually, this old man just likes to play with insects, and many people are afraid of him, but in reality, he's a pretty good person.

Moreover, when the old man was teaching him the art of Gu poison, he could sense that the old man was holding nothing back.

"I'm also puzzled. You were particularly afraid of Sha Qiang in prison. Why is that? If it were a direct fight, even if he could beat you, he'd probably get hurt, right?"

Chi Ming's lips twitched a few times. "Master, I always feel that if that idiot Qiang covered his face, or if you looked at him from behind, he would look nine-tenths like you. Every time I see him, I shudder. And also, that guy's imitation of your voice is so good that even I can't tell the difference."

Chu Yang chuckled. "Don't complain. Who told you to cause trouble in prison? I was the one who improved Sha Qiang's unique bone-dislocating technique."

Chi Ming was stunned for a moment. "Ah...Master! You...are you willing to heal my leg?"

In just a few breaths, Chi Ming's legs were able to move.

Chu Yang injected a stream of true energy into Chi Ming's body, guiding it to unblock his meridians.

A minute later, Chi Ming jumped and danced with excitement.

Chu Yang pointed in confusion at the box he was still clutching tightly.

"What's inside? They didn't let go even after being electrocuted like that."

Chi Ming slapped his thigh, "Oh dear, I almost forgot. When I left, everyone made you a birthday cake. Luckily, it's your birthday today."

Chu Yang suddenly felt a soreness in his nose.

Today is his birthday, but even he forgot.

Looking back, it was these same group of prisoners, once feared by all, who celebrated his birthday all these years.

I initially thought these guys were being so attentive because they were afraid of him.

But now...

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his somewhat agitated emotions.

"You didn't eat yesterday, why didn't you eat?"

Chi Ming's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? This is for you. I'd rather starve than eat it first."

He quickly opened the already flattened cardboard box.

Unsurprisingly, the roughly eight-inch cake inside was flattened.

"Oh my, this...this...is this really so good?"

Chi Ming was so anxious that he kept pacing around in circles.

Chu Yang laughed, "What's wrong? Isn't this still a cake you guys made?"

With that, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. "Heh, you guys' cooking skills are still so bad. You eat some too!"

Chi Ming didn't stand on ceremony; he was genuinely hungry.

Just then, Chu Yang received a call from an unknown number.

"Brother-in-law, you have truly impressed me, and I am completely convinced of your abilities."

Xie Bin's voice came through the phone.

Chu Yang felt that this way of speaking was very inconsistent with Xie Bin's arrogant personality.

"I'll tell you the card number now."

"There's no need to rush. My Xie family wouldn't stoop to ruining our reputation over a mere five hundred million. Tonight at seven o'clock, at the Genting Hotel, I've prepared a simple banquet, hoping to take this opportunity to reconcile."

Chu Yang guessed that Xie Bin was up to no good, but since he knew he had to ask for the money in person, he didn't refuse.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the name "Sha Qiang" lit up on the screen.

"Sir, I just killed two people, are you alright?"

Chu Yang knew that Sha Qiang was stubborn, but not violent, unless he was provoked.

"What exactly happened?"

"Just now, two martial arts masters disguised as company employees came to the trading room to deliver coffee to Golden Horn and Silver Horn. I noticed something was wrong, so I went up and asked them a couple of questions. Those two guys immediately attacked, even pulling out guns. And then, they shot them both dead."

After comforting Sha Qiang for a few moments and reminding him to protect Su Wan Ning, Chu Yang called Xiao Zhi and asked him to handle the situation properly.

It seems that the people in the Murong Lan Alliance learned of the existence of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, determined that they were a threat, and therefore sent assassins.

The Gold Horn and Silver Horn traders have always been in separate trading rooms, which not many people know about, and access to that area requires a key card.

There must be a mole in this matter.

Most of the people in the trading room are former members of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn teams, so the chances of something going wrong are not high.

Then there are the company's senior management.

However, Su Jian and his son are currently excluded from the core group by Su Wanning, so they probably know very little about the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

After eliminating several options, he finally settled on one name – Zhou Ziming.

"I didn't have time to deal with him before, but this kid is getting a bit shameless."

After muttering something, he took Chi Ming to buy a mobile phone worth over 10,000 yuan, and also spent over 30,000 yuan to buy him a high-end, classy suit.

Chi Ming was incredibly excited. "Master! You're so good to me!"

Chu Yang's lips twitched. "I'm mainly worried that you'll get mistaken for a vagrant and arrested again if you go out."

He saved his number on his new phone and instructed, "Take a taxi to the Su Group now and find Sha Qiang, Jin Jiao, and Yin Jiao. Once you're settled, go find Gu Shuofeng. If he's in trouble, I can help him find a solution, but he can't risk someone else's life to save Gu Shengyao."

Chi Ming was somewhat troubled.

"That child is stubborn, and I'm not sure I can persuade her. Besides, Yao Yao's condition is beyond the scope of medical treatment. She's practically a living dead right now; Xiao Feng is probably keeping her alive with Gu worms."

Chu Yang waved his hand, "Stop dawdling! Just find the person for me."
