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

Chu Song used his body as cover to quickly drip a small drop of liquid onto the pill.

"This is a Qi-strengthening Pill! Old Master Hua gave the old man three last time; these are extremely precious! They can prolong life!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Hai stood up and walked to the window to look out.

"Hiss... It really is a Qi-strengthening pill."

Chu Song sighed deeply: "It seems that although Chu Yang said that, he still cares about the old man and wants to do his best to be filial."

Chu Hai quickly packed the pills away.

"What good is filial piety if it leads astray and becomes a menace in the future! Ah Song, we will not let Xiao Lang's matter go so easily!"

He sighed deeply.

"Grandpa guessed that Xiao Lang's matter was related to Chu Yang. This time, he instructed me to go to Donghai to find Chu Yang and ask about the situation. I'll go back to the capital now and tell Grandpa what happened here. As for the Qi-strengthening Pill... I'll just say that you gave it to Grandpa."

Chu Song immediately waved his hand, "Brother, you absolutely mustn't! I know you mean well, but I, Chu Song, will never take credit for something. Besides, so many people are watching today, please tell the truth. After all, it's Chu Yang's good intention."

Chu Hai nodded with a wry smile: "You're just too soft-hearted. If there's nothing else, you can come back to the capital with me."

Chu Song shook her head: "Xiao Lang is gone. I'm in a bad mood and don't want my family to worry. I want to be alone."

After seeing Chu Hai off, Chu Song's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Old man, ever since you found out you were poisoned, I haven't had to worry about your daily life. But you never imagined that the pill Chu Yang gave you would be poisoned by me in the final act to send you to your death, did you?"

"Chu Yang, just wait to be condemned by the entire world, everyone has the right to kill you! Hahaha..."

Before his laughter had even faded, the manager, Liu Wengui, stepped forward.

"Sir, Miss Watanabe just asked you when you'll arrive in Donghai, and reminded you not to miss tonight's show. I've already contacted the airport, and we can fly directly to Donghai now."

Chu Song's lips curled up slightly. "I saw that Chu Yang left in such a hurry, he probably wanted to help the Xiao family solve the problem in Donghai. Let's see how much more blame he can take."

East China Sea.

After getting off the plane, Chu Yang handed over the Soul Gathering Flower, the two Dragon Cauldrons, and the remaining medicinal herbs to Hua Xiyue to take to a safe place.

Chu Yang arranged for Lu Sisi and Tangtang to be sent directly to the military's secure fortress.

It was an air-raid shelter, now serving as a safe haven for the East China Sea's political leaders, ensuring that even if the East China Sea were to experience war, chaos would not occur.

Chu Yang then took Lin Xiaoman to the military headquarters.

"Is everything going smoothly?"

Xiao Yuening put down his work, got up, took Lin Xiaoman's hand, and sat down on the sofa.

"It's alright!" Chu Yang smiled. "Is everything alright in the East China Sea for now?"

Xiao Yuening said with a solemn expression, "Wood and his men haven't taken any action yet, but we've already arrested some suspicious individuals."

Chu Yang nodded: "What are your plans now?"

Xiao Yuening frowned slightly, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the sofa armrest.

"An hour ago, I sent three Grandmasters from the military to infiltrate and investigate. There were 3.0 version genetically modified humans on the ship, and their combat power was terrifying. Those three Grandmasters have already met with misfortune."

"I considered withdrawing the warships monitoring them and then blowing them up, but I was afraid that Wood's men would become even more uncontrollable if they lost command."

Chu Yang scoffed and said, "Why bother with all that? Just get me to board the ship now. You stay here and take charge."

Xiao Yuening glared at him: "Nonsense! The situation is different now. If you go, you'll just be throwing your life away. Those genetically modified people are no different from robots. Even if you're made of iron, how many nails can you drive? I can't possibly send reinforcements then."

"Oh! The young couple are arguing?"

Marquis Ding'an, Wei Daosheng, entered with a smile.

"My lord, you've arrived!"

Xiao Yuening stood up and saluted.

"Grandpa said that the central command has been fully handed over to you from now on. It's all my fault for being too impulsive. If I hadn't killed James, we wouldn't have caused such a big problem."

Wei Daosheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Even if you hadn't killed James, what happened today would still have happened."

"Some people in the capital are probably hoping that Lao Xiao and I will be taken together and sent to the crematorium. No matter who handles this matter, there will be casualties. So, Lao Xiao and I are going to take the blame for this."

Xiao Yuening immediately raised her eyebrows and angrily said, "These people disregard the lives of the people, spend all their time scheming and plotting, and put their personal interests above everything else. They deserve to die!"

Wei Daosheng smiled and said, "No matter what those people impeach us for after this, since I'm here, I must do my best to protect the safety of the people. Xiao Yang, you stay here and take care of the logistics."

Chu Yang's lips twitched, and he scoffed, "Old man, stop trying to provoke me. I can't just take a salary as the Dragon Shadow Investigator for nothing."

Wei Daosheng smiled mischievously and said jokingly, "This matter concerns the life and death of the entire city's people. I'll apply for the mission now, and it will be worth at least 10,000 merit points."

Chu Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He swindled Qian Shunkai's nephew and a few other kids out of their merit points last time, and now he has almost 20,000.

At this rate, he should be able to marry his current wives before the two children are born.

"Alright! Leave this to me today. I'll pack up and get ready to board the pirate ship in a bit."

Just as Xiao Yuening was about to object, her phone rang urgently.

Seeing Xiao Yuening's increasingly serious expression as he made the phone call, Chu Yang had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuening frowned, his gaze towards Chu Yang filled with guilt.

"The security fortress has been compromised."

"What? How could something like that happen?"

Chu Yang's heart clenched a few times.

Su Wanning, Liu Fangfei, Lü Sisi, and Tangtang were all inside. Moreover, Lü Sisi and Tangtang were originally supposed to go with him, but he insisted on sending the two girls over.

Xiao Yuening recounted the events.

Just now, a disturbance occurred inside the fortress, the cause of which remains unknown.

They don't even know which part of the upheaval occurred.

All communication facilities inside have been cut off, and contact is currently unavailable.

"Chu Yang, I didn't think this through. Qin Yan volunteered for the task, and I didn't give it much thought."

"Qin Yan? Is that the incompetent son of Qin Jiangdu, the head of the military inspection department?"

Chu Yang asked incredulously.

Xiao Yuening sighed helplessly.

"My original intention was simply to have him guard the rear and not cause trouble elsewhere. I didn't expect him to be unable to even handle that. I'll send someone right now..."

Chu Yang seemed to realize something and immediately waved his hand to interrupt her.

"No! This isn't some random, idle disturbance by that team!"

Even Wei Daosheng frowned.

"Xiaoyang, tell me!"

Chu Yang shrugged.

"Qin Jiangdu and Yu Guangyuan are in cahoots. Because I... uh... messed with Yu Feihu before, Yu Guangyuan was also unable to take over from Old Master Xiao smoothly."

"I can tell that Yu Guangyuan follows Qin Jiangdu's lead in everything he says and does. In other words, Qin Jiangdu is the mastermind behind the 'anti-Xiao faction'."

Wei Daosheng frowned and pondered for a moment:

"I estimate that Qinjiangdu will be here soon."

Before he could finish speaking, the orderly rushed in through the door without even saying "report."

"General... Minister Qin has arrived."
