Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"Understood, Father."

"Go down."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness again.

Wu Chengjiang glanced at Wu Chengze, then turned and left.

"Chengze, you have disappointed me greatly. From today onwards, you will stay here and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave without my permission," Wu Hao said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

Wu Chengze's heart sank upon hearing this.

This is to control him and completely prevent him from interfering in the Wu family's affairs.

but……

What would Wu Yue do without him?

"Father, my son..."

"What, you think Wu Yue can't live without you? Look at the mess you've made, making my Wu Hao's grandson pretend to be in a vegetative state, don't you feel ashamed?"

Wu Hao suddenly raised his voice and rebuked sharply.

A terrifying aura rushed towards us.

Wu Chengze felt a chill run down his spine.

Before he could speak, Wu Hao continued to berate him: "The Desolate Spirit Devouring Body, how can it be so pathetic in your hands? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world when things are exposed? You and your son are almost completely disgracing the Wu family!"

Wu Chengze was resentful, but dared not say it.

Wu Hao continued, "Since he wants to pretend to be in a vegetative state, then let him continue. He mustn't reveal himself until we see any progress on the Nine Revolutions Return to Emptiness Pill, lest we displease Chen Huo!"

After saying that, he looked at Wu Jingchuan, who was dumbfounded.

"Go and tell Wu Yue to take this opportunity to cultivate diligently. If I, his grandfather, obtain the Nine Revolutions Returning to the Void Pill, I can protect him for another ten years! If he breaks through to a higher realm, I can clear the way for him."

"It's...Grandpa!"

Wu Jingchuan bowed his head and responded, trying to hide his shock.

He never imagined that Wu Yue's vegetative state was actually an act.

I was shocked, but also somewhat excited.

Today's discussion involved major decisions and secrets of the Wu family. Wu Hao did not let him leave the entire time, which clearly shows that he intends to cultivate him and that he is very likely to enter the core of the Wu family in the future.

After he left, a sigh echoed in the darkness.

"Chengze, you are the smartest among your generation, but unfortunately you have used your talents in the wrong way. With your talent, you should be at the fifth level of the Emperor Realm now. I may not be able to obtain the Nine Revolutions Returning to the Void Pill. In the future, the Wu family will have to rely on you as a ballast stone. Cultivate well."

……

One day passed.

The person who stole the Crimson Flame Sunflower did not contact Chen Huo again.

Yuan Gang also failed to pinpoint the opponent's location.

Chen Huo was a little confused about the situation and not interested in it. He was currently cultivating diligently, striving to reach the third level of the Emperor Realm as soon as possible and take the Breakthrough Pill to break through.

In the afternoon, Yu Ji returned.

The Breakthrough Pill has been secretly given to the Pavilion Master, who has taken it and is continuing his seclusion. The remaining pills have been given to Song Shuyue for distribution. Many elders of the Goddess Pavilion should now be in seclusion.

Before Yu Ji arrived, Song Shuyue called Chen Huo and told him to keep a low profile during this period, because she was also preparing to go into seclusion and could not provide immediate support to Chen Huo if anything happened.

Chen Huo readily agreed.

Now he also needs to cultivate, and doesn't want to be too high-profile.

The medicinal materials required for the Nine-Turn Return to Emptiness Pill are too rare. Until the medicinal materials are almost fully collected, those who are secretly eyeing the Nine-Turn Return to Emptiness Pill will not show themselves.

As for Wu Hao, whom he had lured into this situation, he estimated that he would have to wait a few days to confirm that Chen Huo was not joking before taking any action. However, he underestimated Wu Hao's desire for longevity.

That evening, the villa welcomed an unexpected visitor.

Wu Chengjiang.

"How come there was no news of him before he arrived?" The car accident was somewhat unexpected. It was one thing that the Goddess Pavilion's intelligence capabilities were poor, but the official authorities hadn't received any information either.

"No, we haven't received any news," Yu Ji said, her pretty brows slightly furrowed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Wu family truly lived up to its reputation as a long-established ancient martial arts family; they had quite a foundation. Avoiding the eyes and ears of the authorities was no easy task.

"How many people did he bring?"

"A driver and an attendant got out of the car, each carrying a gift box. Wu Chengjiang was waiting at the villa entrance, speaking to the gatekeeper with great politeness."

Yu Ji said with a face full of doubt.

She was a little confused about Wu Chengjiang's situation.

Gu Yingxue asked, "Young Master, should we leave quickly? This Wu Chengjiang is no ordinary person; he is a fifth-level Emperor Realm expert. I'm afraid he has ill intentions."

Chen Huo shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't think so. If he really had bad intentions, why would he come here so openly? He even brought gifts, which clearly means he wants something from me."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji asked with surprise and uncertainty, "Could it be that you were sent by that old man from the Wu family to probe your intentions, young master, or perhaps to mend relations?"

"Very likely."

Chen Huo nodded and walked towards the living room on the first floor.

He said to Yu Ji, "Go and invite them here."

Gu Yingxue's face was full of worry: "But... what if he harms you, Young Master?"

Chen Huo said calmly, "The more confident and bold we are in meeting him, the more he will be wary and dare not make a move. Besides, this is our territory, so even if he makes a move, he will not get away with it."

He dares to continue living here, so he must have made arrangements.

The Goddess Pavilion is no pushover either.

Most importantly, Wu Chengjiang has just become the head of the Wu family, and it is impossible for him to risk his life to do such a thing. Moreover, Chen Huo's relationship with the government is currently good, and the Wu family has not yet completely resolved the matter of their recent falling out with the government, so they will not seek trouble for themselves.

"Don't worry, our young master has excellent judgment!"

Yu Ji had been with Chen Huo for a long time and blindly worshipped him. She had little concern for him, but remained vigilant. Following Chen Huo's instructions, she went to the villa gate and invited Wu Chengjiang in.

Chen Huo had never dealt with Wu Chengjiang.

There was no animosity between the two.

So I didn't give them a hard time.

But they didn't give them a friendly look either.

Wu Chengjiang, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic.

"Oh my, I'm so glad to finally meet Dr. Chen today! It's a pleasure to meet you!" she said, extending her hand as she walked toward Dr. Chen, her face beaming with smiles, as if she were seeing an old friend she hadn't seen in years.

Chen Huo didn't extend his hand, and said indifferently, "I don't like polite small talk, and we're not even friends. Just get to the point."

"Dr. Chen is such a straightforward person!"

Wu Chengjiang sighed in admiration, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. He sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Huo as if they were old friends and went straight to the point: "Dr. Chen, I am here on behalf of the Wu family to repair our relationship. This is a gift I brought for our meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people behind him placed the gift box on the coffee table.

Just then.

Yuan Gang's loud voice rang out from outside the door.

"Wu Chengjiang, Wu Chengjiang, what are you doing here looking for Chen Huo? Are you itching for a beating? You dare touch a single hair on Doctor Chen's head today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Gang strode into the living room.

He was followed by a group of men in black who quickly surrounded the scene. Each of them was armed with a gun, and all the guns were aimed at Wu Chengjiang and his two henchmen.
