After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Upon seeing the Blood Shadow arrive, Grand Tutor Yan snorted coldly, his tone stern.

"The Sima family in the provincial capital, the Han family in Jiangcheng, and you even used my old face to contact people in the military. With so many resources, you can't even keep a small Gu family in check. What are you good for?"

Blood Shadow was also suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.

He listened to the Sima family's plan and felt there was absolutely no problem with it. Using so many forces to deal with the Gu family was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; they were giving them far too much credit.

But the final outcome was completely unexpected.

On his way here, he had carefully reviewed the whole story in his mind.

Finally, he came to a startling conclusion: all the variables in the whole affair came from Ye Chen, that fool.

Li Muling, Jia Kehu, Shen Qianqian, Lin Shasha—these people all had close relationships with him.

Thinking of this, he spoke solemnly.

"Grand Tutor, I have a suspicion: Ye Chen might not be stupid. He may have orchestrated all of this. Have you noticed that everything has become very strange since he returned?"

Grand Tutor Yan pondered for a moment, then looked at him and asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"

A cold glint flashed in Xueying's eyes. "Why don't we just kill Ye Chen?"

"inappropriate!"

Grand Tutor Yan immediately objected.

"After Ye Chen went missing, and after five years of planning and suppression, Old Man Ye had lost all will to live. But now Ye Chen is his lifeline. If we really kill Ye Chen, Old Man Ye will probably fight us to the death."

Don't forget, he served as the commander of the Azure Dragon War Zone for a full thirty years. Although all the Ye family members in the military are dead, his former subordinates still hold important positions.

"Then what should we do? Please advise, Grand Tutor."

Blood Shadow felt a headache coming on. The rise of the Gu family had already shaken the hearts of those who were watching from the sidelines.

If things continue like this, the Ye family may show signs of a resurgence.

Grand Tutor Yan frowned for a long time, then sighed softly.

"The most crucial thing now is to find out whether Ye Chen is truly foolish or pretending. If he is faking it, then it means that this young man is terrifyingly cunning and must not be allowed to live. Even if it risks causing a military coup involving a million people in the Azure Dragon War Zone, we must kill him immediately!"

Then, as if to comfort himself, he murmured something.

"However, this is unlikely. The poison from back then was personally concocted by the Poison King of the Miao region in the southwest, and it was impossible to cure without reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation."

He believed that no matter how monstrous Ye Chen was, it was impossible for him to leap two major realms from Qi Refining Grandmaster to Core Formation Martial Artist in just five years.

The series of events that have recently occurred in Jiangcheng are most likely orchestrated by Ye Tianfeng behind the scenes, with Ye Chen merely serving as a front.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's name, Xue Ying suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly reported it to Grand Tutor Yan.

"Grand Tutor, Qin Yu somehow managed to persuade Jin Daorong, the Great Xia Medical Sage, to come to Jiangcheng in three days to treat Ye Chen. Do you think we should...?"

At this point, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Grand Tutor Yan immediately rebuked, "Are you insane? Jin Daorong is the number one healer in the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you know how extensive his connections are? How many important figures have relied on him to prolong their lives? Killing him will bring us enormous trouble."

"It was my fault," Blood Shadow hurriedly admitted.

Grand Tutor Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Here's what we'll do: have someone cause him some trouble at Jiangcheng Airport, but remember, you absolutely must not kill him."

Blood Shadow's eyes lit up, and he quickly flattered her.

"Grand Tutor is brilliant! In this way, even if he wanted to treat Ye Chen, those important figures would definitely send people to forcibly take him away from that dangerous place, Jiangcheng."

"Okay, go and do it. The previous task still needs to be continued. The relationship between the Sima family and the Sakura Kingdom is unclear, so they may not go all out in this matter."

"The task of informing the Nangong family to suppress the Gu Group and testing whether Ye Chen is truly foolish is now entrusted to them."

Blood Shadow bowed deeply in respect.

"Understood. Also, I will soon advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Once I succeed, I will personally go to Jiangcheng."

"Not bad, it seems those cultivation resources weren't wasted on you. Now you may leave."

Upon hearing the news that he was about to break through, Grand Tutor Yan nodded in satisfaction.

......

Jiangcheng.

Gu's Group.

Ye Chen and Shen Qianqian returned after interrogating Han Shichang and Song Yingdong.

The press conference had completely ended, and Gu Ning's secretary was directing people to clean up the venue. Upon seeing the two of them enter, she smiled and bowed deeply to Shen Qianqian.

"Ms. Shen, I really want to thank you today. Without you, thousands of employees of the Gu Group would be sleeping on the streets tonight."

While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, it's true that Shen Qianqian's appearance saved their jobs.

"Thank you, Ms. Shen!"

All the staff present bowed to her.

"Hehe, no need to be polite. What Brother Chen and Sister-in-law do is what I do." Shen Qianqian waved her hand with a smile.

"Yes, everyone, don't be shy, go ahead and get busy. I'll have Ningning's wife give you all big red envelopes," Ye Chen said with a simple and honest expression.

After the two left, the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves.

They were initially unhappy that their CEO had married a fool, but after today's events, they realized just how powerful Ye Chen really was.

Naturally, he no longer dared to underestimate him.

"Honey, thank you."

Upon seeing Ye Chen return, Gu Ning immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Many people came to help today: the mayor, the underground emperor, the richest man's daughter, a prodigy...

She was very grateful to all these people, but she was also very clear that they were only helping the Gu family because of Ye Chen.

He is the one I should be most grateful to.

"Ningning, you're welcome. Grandpa said we're a young couple, so your business is my business. I'll protect you for the rest of my life and not let bad people bully you, hehehe."

Hearing Ye Chen's innocent and straightforward words, Gu Ning's pretty face blushed slightly.

"Hahaha......"

Gu Long walked over laughing and addressed the crowd.

"Thank you all for supporting my family today. I have prepared a small feast at the grand hotel next door, and I hope you will come and join me."

"Yay, let's eat something delicious! Let's all go together!" Ye Chen clapped his hands happily.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a group of people walked towards them from the opposite direction, most of whom were core members of the Gu family.

"Ningning, you are amazing! You managed to save us from a life-or-death situation. Your third aunt is impressed."

"With so many big shots backing up the Gu family, the Gu family is on the verge of taking off!"

......

As soon as they met, these people greeted Gu Ning with smiles and kept flattering him.

Gu Ning hadn't forgotten how the Han family treated her after they stole the Gu family's brain-computer interface.

She said calmly, "If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak your mind."

"Ningning, we're all family. I think we should just let go of that bet we made last night. Family is more important than money."

Gu Yuanshan stepped forward, rubbing his hands together as he spoke to her.
