I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

The technique Chu Yang just used was neither a demonic art nor a divine technique.

When Chu Yang was healing Lü Sisi, their lingering energy remained within each other. This is precisely why Chu Yang's meridians were restricted.

Upon entering the room, he keenly sensed that Lü Sisi had released a large amount of her primordial energy before being abducted.

It hasn't been long since Lü Sisi was kidnapped.

Chu Yang combined his remaining true energy with that wisp of withered yin energy and released it, tracing back to the source, and finally captured the clues that Lü Sisi had deliberately left behind.

This was purely by chance.

If neither party retains any trace of the other's essence,

If Chu Yang hadn't had his meridians combed by Liu Fangfei,

If Lü Sisi failed to leave a crucial mark in that aura,

If the time of the incident had been extended even a little longer...

Therefore, the scene just now could not possibly have happened.

Gu Ao squatted down beside Chu Yang, frowning as he asked, "What's there to see? Even if we get fingerprints, they'll only be Miss Lü's."

Chu Yang waved to the Dragon Shadow Guards: "You may all step back."

Gu Ao wanted to emphasize that these people only obeyed his orders, but he was surprised to find that his subordinates retreated quickly as if they had been granted a pardon.

Judging from their expressions, they were all very willing to stay away from Chu Yang.

Chu Yang extended a wisp of crimson true energy, attaching it to the spot where Lü Sisi had once held it.

A moment later, the wisp of true energy condensed into a small sphere and slowly floated back into Chu Yang's palm.

Just now, everyone thought that Lü Sisi was gripping the door frame tightly with her hands as a form of resistance.

But Chu Yang felt that such a smart girl would not do something so pointless.

If Lü Sisi intended to leave him a clue from the beginning, this abrupt action would undoubtedly be the most important clue.

Chu Yang stood up and looked at Gu Ao.

"Do you know those two men from earlier?"

Gu Ao shook his head: "They're all wearing masks. Even if you see them in person, you'd have to recognize them to identify them by their aura."

As soon as he finished speaking, the small ball of true energy floating in Chu Yang's palm suddenly burst like a bubble.

Immediately, a wisp of gray true energy dissipated.

That was Lu Sisi absorbing one of the people's true energy and releasing it onto the door frame.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ao's brows furrowed deeply.

"This...this aura is..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, and his breathing became somewhat rapid, as if he had encountered a thorny problem.

Lu Wenguang was getting impatient and stared intently at Gu Ao.

"Commander Gu, what exactly happened?"

Gu Ao hesitated before saying, "That's the aura of a grandmaster. If I remember correctly, this true energy... is 90% similar to that of Han Chunlei, the president of the Azure Dragon Society."

Lu Wenguang's eyes widened immediately.

"What did you say? Han Chunlei? How dare he?"

Chu Yang waved his hand: "Logically speaking, Han Chunlei wouldn't be that bold, but if someone is behind him, then it's hard to say."

"Xiao Gu, the tall man next to you has rather distinctive physical features. You can have someone check if there's such a person in the Green Dragon Society or... the Japanese embassy."

This statement was like a bomb.

"What did you say? The Japanese embassy was involved too?"

Lu Wenguang was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

Chu Yang had nothing to hide, so he recounted his previous guesses.

When Lü Wenguang first heard that his daughter had a special constitution, he found it hard to accept.

Gu Ao looked completely bewildered, having never even heard of the term "withered yin body".

Chu Yang patted Lü Wenguang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll go find Sisi right now."

Gu Ao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go back right away..."

"Where are you going?"

Chu Yang interrupted him, rolling his eyes at him.

"We're good partners, you have to come with me."

Gu Ao wanted to decline.

He has to be careful about this kind of thing.

Chu Yang spread his right hand, "Give me my money back!"

"Uh... I, I didn't say I wasn't going."

At this moment, Lü Wenguang felt extremely guilty.

When she called, she mistook Chu Yang for a bad guy who had kidnapped her daughter. Now it seems that without his help, she might never have found her daughter if she had relied on the Dragon Shadow Guard.

He pulled Chu Yang aside and lowered his voice, saying, "I was a little anxious just now, and what I said wasn't very pleasant to hear. I apologize."

Chu Yang laughed, "Haven't we always gotten along like this? I've never taken it seriously. Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best to find Sisi."

Lu Wenguang hesitated before saying, "The provincial governor called me today and asked me to inform you that you shouldn't participate in this year's undercover envoy assessment."

Chu Yang's eyebrows immediately shot up. "What's going on? Are you treating this like a joke? Or is it because of his son?"

This morning he confidently told Xiao Yuening to wait for good news. If he doesn't even qualify, wouldn't that make women laugh for the rest of their lives?

Lu Wenguang waved his hand, "Don't be in such a hurry! Actually, the provincial governor meant well. He received the news and almost all the personnel participating in the assessment were replaced at the last minute."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang frowned deeply.

All those who participated in the assessment were recommended by people of high status and power.

A last-minute replacement indicates that those above have tacitly approved it.

If I'm not mistaken, the personnel changes were all due to his arrival.

He smiled and said, "It seems that my appearance has displeased many people."

Lu Wenguang nodded slightly and said, "That's why the provincial governor asked you to step down, and it's also the intention of the person who recommended you. You're still young and capable; you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. There's no need to fight over short-term gains. As long as you're in Donghai, I will do everything I can to help you."

Chu Yang felt an unprecedented sincerity in Lü Wenguang's words this time.

"Uncle Lü, just hearing that is enough. I'm going to find Sisi now. Could you do me a favor and tell her I wasn't notified?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Wenguang was taken aback.

Previously, Chu Yang had always called him "Old Lu". He, a seasoned official, naturally understood what the change in address meant – the other party had already treated him as one of their own.

"Alright! Since you've made up your mind, I'll take care of this. But you still need to be careful. Also, there are less than three hours until the assessment. If you don't hear from Sisi, don't let it interfere with your business. Come back and take the assessment as soon as possible."

After leaving Lü Wenguang's house, Chu Yang saw Gu Ao gathering people, seemingly preparing to take them to the Azure Dragon Society for a major operation.

Chu Yang simply grabbed him and left.

Gu Ao looked completely bewildered. "What are you doing? Just the two of us?"

Chu Yang glanced at him sideways. "What's the point of having so many people?"

Gu Ao shuffled his butt back, the soles of his shoes almost sparking.

"Wait a minute! I received news this morning that both the Shanghai Green Dragon Society and the Beijing headquarters have sent people over. The Green Dragon Society is now a den of dragons and tigers. And those people are here because of Gu Chen, they're after you."

Chu Yang chuckled, "Nonsense! If so many people hadn't come wanting to kill me, do you think Qian Shunkai would have let you off so easily? And reinstated you?"

"There are experts from the Azure Dragon Society, as well as experts participating in this assessment, all wanting to kill me. In their eyes, I'm already a dead man."

Gu Ao looked even more puzzled.

"You knew it all along, so why didn't you let me bring more people?"

Chu Yang bent his index finger and tapped Gu Ao on the head.

"Are you stupid? Do we have any evidence? They can shut the Dragon Shadow Guard out with just a word."

Gu Ao thought that this made sense, but then his eyes widened again.

"Wait, are you planning to do something unconventional again? Are we going to have to work secretly again?"

Chu Yang gave him a disdainful look. "When you're doing business with me, do you ever take the usual route?"

Gu Ao: "..."
