Chu Kun, who had just been clamoring to tear Chu Yang to pieces, was now completely drained of color from his face, trembling uncontrollably, and unable to utter a single complete sentence.

He Jiang, who had been sent flying backward, managed to get up by pushing himself up from the ground. Blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth, his right arm was broken into pieces, and the meridians in his body were scorched and damaged by the extreme yang flames.

He looked at Chu Yang, his eyes no longer showing any arrogance or anger, only deep fear and disbelief.

"You... what kind of power do you have...?"

Just then, a petite and agile figure darted out like a small cannonball, flashed in front of He Jiang, and with a light kick, sent him flying back to the ground.

Chu Yang was taken aback.

He didn't even notice when Tangtang arrived.

"You...don't do anything reckless."

"Uncle, his secret technique..."

"Shut up!"

Chu Yang immediately interrupted Tangtang.

Tangtang also realized that she had been too excited because she had just seen He Jiang display the Grandmaster's Secret Technique, and almost revealed the secret in front of so many people.

"Good uncle, I...I want it right now!"

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that He Jiang's secret technique of appearing in illusions was tailor-made for her. Once she possessed it, she would not be afraid of fighting across borders in the future.

The law enforcement officers and Dragon Shadow personnel around them were all dumbfounded.

Even He Jiang, who was kicked to the ground, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

How could such a beautiful girl utter such unrestrained and lewd words in public?

Could Chu Yang be a succubus?

Chu Yang rubbed his temples, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

"No!"

Tangtang's face immediately fell, and she stomped her foot in grievance, her cheeks puffed out: "Why... I want it now!"

"Go back inside." Chu Yang glared at her.

Tangtang snorted defiantly, turned her head, and glared fiercely at He Jiang with her wrinkled little nose: "Old man, you're lucky today!"

He Jiang coughed up another mouthful of blood with a loud "whoosh".

"Chu Yang! Kill me if you want, but don't let others humiliate this old man!"

Chu Yang chuckled coldly twice.

This old geezer doesn't know that Tangtang is after his true nature. If he did, he'd be terrified.

Gu Ao stepped forward at this moment.

"These guys trespassed, caused trouble, and attempted murder. Should I take them away and let them experience what the East Sea Dragon Shadow Prison is like?"

Chu Yang chuckled and waved his hand: "They have power and influence. They can just make a phone call and you'll have to release them. Tell them to get lost."

Gu Ao immediately led his men forward and shouted sternly, "Get out of here within three minutes!"

Upon hearing this, the Chu family warriors all stood up and slipped out as if they had been granted a pardon.

As Chu Kun was being carried away by two men, he suddenly realized that Chu Yang had actually backed down and didn't dare to kill him at all.

"Hahaha, Chu Yang, so after all this time, you're a coward too! Just wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, one of the "Eight Pillars" silenced him with a pressure point strike and carried him away.

Only He Jiang remained unmoved in the courtyard.

"What, do you want me to give you a ride?" Chu Yang frowned.

He Jiang looked as if he had aged ten years. His once spirited face was now devoid of any sharpness, and he resembled a dejected old man.

"If you didn't poison me, come back with me and explain yourself."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes at him: "No need! If you guys had any brains, you wouldn't have trouble seeing the problem."

He Jiang hesitated before saying, "Fine! Even if you didn't poison him, the old patriarch is on his deathbed. As his grandson, shouldn't you go back and see him?"

Chu Yang's expression froze for a moment, then he frowned and asked, "What kind of poison did that old guy get?"

He Jiang didn't reprimand Chu Yang for his disrespectful words to the old patriarch. He sighed heavily and uttered three words: "Severing Meridians Powder!"

Upon hearing these three words, Chu Yang couldn't help but nod.

No wonder the Chu family, with their status, could keep that old man on the brink of death.

Juemai San is a rare and incurable poison. Unlike arsenic, which has an immediate effect, it causes the body's meridians to dry up and lead to death within three days.

"When did that old guy take the pill?"

"Around 3 p.m. yesterday."

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Get the plane ready in two hours."

As soon as he got home, he heard Gu Shuofeng's howling cries.

Chu Yang was startled: "Surely not? With so many people around, how could the treatment possibly go wrong?"

He hurried upstairs and saw Gu Shuofeng squatting at the top of the stairs, looking completely out of place, wailing loudly.

"No, when did that happen?"

"Waaaaah... Just now, Yao Yao... Waaaaah..."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Chu Yang thought he should hurry in and see if there was any hope of saving him.

He pushed the door open and walked in, but was immediately stunned by what he saw. He froze on the spot, his feet sinking into the mud.

Inside, a misty fog swirled around.

Gu Shengyao was standing by the bed, her long, dark hair wet and soft, clinging to her neck, with a few strands sliding down her fair shoulders.

Hearing the noise, her delicate body stiffened abruptly. She instinctively grabbed the gauze dress beside her, but because she moved too quickly, the wet and soft fabric became even more soaked with water, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her graceful curves perfectly. She looked completely naked and hastily covering herself.

"Why are you here?"

She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and slowly turned around.

The panic in her eyes faded, replaced by a complex yet serene light, possessing both the shyness of a young girl and the cool composure of an adult, looking directly into Chu Yang's eyes.

Chu Yang's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over her exposed skin. His ears instantly turned bright red, and he immediately turned his face away, his voice terribly hoarse:

"Um... I saw your brother crying so much, I thought something went wrong during the treatment."

He turned to leave as he spoke, but the footsteps behind him grew closer and closer.

A warm, delicate hand gently rested on his shoulder.

"Tell me honestly, did you sneak in while I was unconscious these past two days?"

Chu Yang's lips twitched violently a few times, his ears turning even redder, and he spoke with a hint of urgent protest: "No, what kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of others' weaknesses?"

Gu Shengyao's serious expression suddenly burst into laughter, her coldness vanishing and replaced by a hint of cunning.

No one knows how she did it, but the thin gauze dress slipped down without warning.

Her still steaming body came into Chu Yang's view without any cover, her skin still flushed from the bath, so clear it was almost blinding.

Chu Yang's pupils contracted sharply, his breath stopped for a moment, and his Adam's apple bobbed again, but he forced himself not to look away.

"Promise to kill someone for me, and I'll give you what you want right now."

Chu Yang frowned, suppressing the surging emotions within him, and said in a cold tone, "If you want to kill someone, do you need to beg me? Who are you?"

The smile in Gu Shengyao's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a cold glint. She enunciated each word with extreme force, spitting out two words through clenched teeth:

"My dad."

Chu Yang: "..."
