Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 296 Owe a Favor
"No matter how strong your Goddess Pavilion is, can it compare to the state apparatus?" Yuan Gang snorted, quite pleased with himself, and very satisfied with Chen Huo's surprised expression.
"All right."
Chen Huo didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject, saying, "This isn't the time to talk about that. Tell me where Su Wanqiu and her daughter are?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Our people are on the rescue, and their safety will not be a problem at all."
"You actually sent people to rescue them?"
Chen Huo was somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, their organization shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing.
Yuan Gang snorted and said, "Don't forget that we are an organization that serves the country. The Su family's background is indeed not very clean, but Su Wanqiu is a decent woman. Most importantly, she has solved the employment problem for thousands of people. How can we let her be killed by someone so easily?"
If we hadn't known, that would have been fine. But since we do know, and it involves you, it's no big deal to help you out. You owe us a favor for this.
Upon hearing this, Chen Huo became wary.
Yuan Gang is the kind of guy who won't do anything without a reason; he's definitely got something in mind.
Chen Huo still trusted Yuan Gang and his team's abilities. After saying "thank you," he changed the subject coldly and asked, "Tell me where Wu Yue is?"
Catch the thief first to catch the king.
Since Wu Yue dared to scheme against him, he must pay the price.
"hey-hey."
Yuan Gang chuckled dryly and began to negotiate: "Telling you where he is is no problem, but you have to give me a Body Tempering Pill, is that alright? Of course, if you really can't bear to part with it, I won't force you."
Chen Huo's face darkened upon hearing this: "You still say you didn't eavesdrop on me?"
I only obtained the Azure Scale Bone Grass today.
The decision to refine the Body Tempering Pill was also made today.
Yuan Gang found out then.
If he wasn't being monitored, how could he possibly know?
However, Yuan Gang vehemently denied it:
"I told you long ago, you're not our enemy, and we have no reason to spy on you. You underestimate our official organization. How could we not know about what that sorcerer did in Jinzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's heart stirred.
Did he leak the information?
Yuan Gang continued:
"After returning to China, he sought medical treatment everywhere, and then brought the Azure Scale Bone Grass to China. Immediately afterwards, your people contacted Liu Guocheng and obtained a list of medicinal materials. These are not difficult to verify."
"As for how we found out about the list of medicinal herbs in Liu Guocheng's possession, it's quite simple. The Yamamoto family came to Jinzhou to buy up Chinese medicinal herbs on a large scale, and we were secretly monitoring them."
Chen Huo suddenly realized what was happening.
All of these sound reasonable.
But he didn't believe it completely.
When I have some free time, I should implement some anti-eavesdropping measures.
As for the Body Tempering Pill, Chen Huo agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, here's one for you."
Once all the medicinal herbs are gathered, twenty-seven Body Tempering Pills can be refined. Giving one to Yuan Gang wouldn't be a big deal. Building a good relationship with him would provide him with an extra ally in the future.
"I'll send you the address right away, but you have to hurry. Wu Yue is a very cunning kid. If he gets away, don't blame us."
Yuan Gang hung up the phone after speaking.
Soon, an address message was sent over.
Chen Huo started navigating according to the address, and the car immediately deviated from the original route. A few seconds later, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and without a doubt, it was Wu Yue's.
In order to buy time, Chen Huo did not accept the task.
The other party called three times in a row, but still didn't answer.
……
"Young Master, things seem to have gotten a bit complicated."
Sun Dong hurriedly entered Wu Yue's room and spoke very quickly.
Wu Yue frowned slightly: "What trouble?"
"According to our informant, Chen Huo did not follow our instructions and deviated from the planned route. We called him, but he did not answer. Moreover, we have lost contact with the kidnappers."
"What happened?"
Wu Yue's face darkened, and his eyes burned with murderous intent.
Sun Dong was startled and quickly said, "Young Master, everything was done according to your instructions. I can guarantee there were no mistakes! I suspect the authorities may have intervened!"
Wu Yue's expression softened slightly upon hearing this: "What makes you so certain that the authorities have intervened in this matter?"
"Because of Zheng Fei's murder case, Yuan Gang's people have taken over! The Goddess Pavilion's influence in Jinzhou isn't that strong, so it's impossible for them to know what we did so quickly. Only Yuan Gang's group could have done it!"
Sun Dong said with certainty.
Wu Yue didn't say anything upon hearing this, but took out his phone and dialed a number.
A moment later, Yuan Gang's voice came over.
"Who?"
"Wu Yue, are you helping Chen Huo?"
"I suppose so, kid. What, are you here to interrogate me?"
Yuan Gang's tone on the other end of the phone was full of disdain.
"No, I'm just checking."
Wu Yue said calmly, "Are you helping Chen Huo to break the rules? Or are you after the Breakthrough Pill? Don't forget our agreement. Can you bear the responsibility for breaking the rules?"
"Kid, Su Wanqiu and her daughter are ordinary people. You kidnapped them, which is breaking the rules first. You'd better understand that. If we wanted to help Chen Huo, we would have killed you long ago."
Yuan Gang said coldly.
Wu Yue frowned upon hearing this.
There are powerful figures within the government; there are many who could take him down.
This includes Yuan Gang.
And he did indeed break the rules first. Generally speaking, the struggles between ancient martial arts families should not affect ordinary people, especially people like Su Wanqiu who create a lot of jobs and have great social influence, who should not be killed easily.
He had actually considered this point when he made this move.
However, he had to break the rules just to stop Chen Huo from refining the Breakthrough Pill.
The purpose of his call was to confirm whether the failure of the operation was due to official intervention. Once he got the answer, he had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
"Okay, this time it was our fault. You won't interfere again, right?"
"How could that be? The more you fight to the death, the happier we are. But this time, your Wu family will have to pay a price. Rules aren't broken so easily."
"You should talk to my father about this."
Wu Yue hung up the phone, looked at Sun Dong, and coldly ordered:
"Arrange an immediate relocation, streamline external personnel, enhance counter-surveillance and counter-tracking awareness, and have those who haven't been exposed continue to keep an eye on Chen Huo, especially that Gong Jinghan—keep a close eye on him!"
He wasn't afraid of Chen Huo.
Rather, he was afraid of Gong Jinghan.
After all, this was a former sixth-level Emperor Realm expert. Even though he has now fallen to the fifth level, he is still not someone with his level of cultivation who can deal with him. Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Chen Huo's villa.
He couldn't be sure that Chen Huo had come alone.
If Gong Jinghan had secretly followed him, he would be finished.
Therefore, the only option is to avoid past troubles.
This feeling of fleeing in disarray made him feel very frustrated.
Wu Yue's eyes were icy cold.
"I refuse to believe that old woman can protect you forever!"
