The old lady glared at him and gestured with her lips for him not to say anything out of line.

"We all know that the Mu family has been able to control everything in Wuhai City by relying on their martial prowess."

"Mu Liuli didn't fall for me; she just wanted to kill me because I stood up for a bullied nurse, and it might even implicate you two elders." Since time wasn't too urgent, Jiang Chen recounted the entire incident in detail.

The old man nodded after listening and said, "Son, you did the right thing. People shouldn't fawn over the powerful just because they're afraid of them, but the Mu family... we can't afford to offend them!"

"I'll go pack my things now. If we can't afford to mess with them, we'll just avoid them."

Without hesitation, the old lady immediately stood up and muttered, "It's good that you're back. Make a call to the hospital and resign. We're quitting! Can't we just move somewhere peaceful and live a quiet life? Why do we have to live in fear here? Nothing else matters but escaping. I'll pack up and the three of us and leave right away!"

The two elderly people were very open-minded, which saved Jiang Chen time in persuading them to leave temporarily.

“You don’t need to be too afraid. I’ve already contacted Deputy Director Duan of the Xiangling City Police Department. He will send people to settle you in and protect you.” He explained while helping you pack your things. “I can’t leave for the time being.”

Firstly, the work at the hospital cannot be handed over immediately, and many patients are in critical condition, so any mistake could be a matter of life and death.

Secondly, I also need to cooperate with Deputy Director Duan in arresting suspects. Maybe this time we can pry open a gap in the Mu family's all-powerful power.

"Wuhai City is, after all, the place where our family has lived for generations. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate this cancer and restore peace and happiness to the people, you won't have to keep wandering around hiding."

The old lady immediately became anxious, "How can that be? We're just ordinary people, how can we possibly compete with the martial arts families? Even having a deputy director wouldn't help, the Martial Arts Alliance has the upper hand!"

“Your mother is right, let’s not get involved,” the old man nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chen had to persuade the elderly couple to give up the idea of ​​the whole family traveling together. Then he drove them to the agreed location and sent a Soul Weapon to make sure they were settled before he was completely at ease.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Mu Liuli, who had slowly regained consciousness, had no energy left to argue with this person or that person.

She was only interested in getting some good rewards like cultivation techniques and pills. Even if she made a big fuss here, she couldn't kill anyone. Wouldn't that waste the time she could get even more rewards by abusing so many male slaves at the same time?

"You guys are all so annoying! You're all thinking of getting a bunch of random tests to squeeze money out of me, aren't you? Is the hospital crazy for money?" Mu Liuli wanted to use the same trick again, but since she didn't have anything convenient to smash, she could only attack indiscriminately with a dark face.

However, whether the emergency room staff were used to uncooperative patients or everyone was already prepared for her, her scolding didn't elicit a response from the system, which only made her more frustrated.

Instead, Mu Donghai patiently tried to persuade her a few times, but was rebuffed and could only wave his hand at the emergency room doctor.

“Mr. Mu, based on your description, Ms. Mu's sudden fainting is not normal. Just to be on the safe side, please don't mind the trouble and do another check-up…”

Before the ER doctor could finish speaking, Mu Liuli rolled her eyes and cursed, "Fuck you! #*@&!"

Mu Donghai frowned slightly, thinking to himself that although his precious daughter was very spoiled, she shouldn't be so irritable and scold everyone she met.

Since waking up from this accident, my mouth has been constantly making unpleasant noises.

Especially... no matter how spoiled my darling daughter is, she still respects her father very much.

After all, she's my sweet little girl. No matter what she does to outsiders, she always smiles and acts cute to please her father, and he's happy to support her and give her money.

But ever since Liuli met him today, she hasn't called him "Dad" once. She's so disrespectful that she always snaps back at him no matter what he says.

Is it...

Dr. Su's words suddenly echoed in his mind. Mu Donghai waved his hand and said to the emergency room doctor in a gentle tone, "It's okay, if she doesn't want to do the tests, then we won't."

"Mr. Mu, this..." The emergency room doctor didn't want to get into this mess, but what could he do when it happened to him?

If I don't make things clear and get him to sign a document stating that he will bear the consequences, what if something happens to the domineering only daughter? How can a mere doctor bear the wrath of the eldest elder of a powerful martial arts family?

Fortunately, Mu Donghai, who had already become suspicious of his daughter, still cared about his reputation. He didn't want to embarrass the emergency room doctor, so after listening to a long explanation, he signed a form indicating that he was fully aware of everything and would bear the consequences of not undergoing any examinations.

"Get home right now! I order you to be there within fifteen minutes!" Mu Liuli shouted angrily as soon as she got into the car. "If I can't get into my own yard in fifteen minutes, I'll deduct three months' salary from your pay!"

[Ding! Your request was too rude, causing the hardworking ride-hailing driver's favorability towards you to drop to -5 points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 50 spirit stones!]

Tch—only fifty spirit stones?

Mu Liuli rolled her eyes, clearly dissatisfied.

The thought of imprisoning those handsome young men in the backyard, whom she could torture and abuse to her heart's content, only fueled her desire to reap the rewards. She slammed her hand on the seat and shouted, "Can't you hear me? I told you to drive!"

"But Miss... the light is red now, and there are so many people crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing ahead." The driver looked at the elder with a troubled expression.

Mu Liuli's lips curled into a cold smile. "A bunch of blind fools, daring to block my way. Run them over! They're not stupid; they'll swerve to make way as soon as they see the car start moving."

"You either drive as I say, or you'll get your pay docked."

[Ding! Your response was too cold-blooded, causing the hardworking ride-hailing driver's impression of you to drop to -10 points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 50 spirit stones!]

Although it's a small amount, even a mosquito bite is still meat.

Hearing the system notification made her feel relieved, but then she thought to herself, "I'm a perfectly upright and good person, I don't like this at all! It's all the original owner's fault for being so wicked, and it's also the fault of this stinky system! It forced me to be a bad person, it's so annoying!"

"Don't listen to her. Driving properly won't get you docked pay." Mu Donghai's tone was somewhat cold.

Some doubts, once planted, can never be erased.

He even began to seriously consider which connections he could use to get close to a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul level and invite them to examine his precious daughter's soul for any problems.

However, those at the Nascent Soul level are among the world's top martial artists.

The Mu family is at best a local bully in the small city of Wuhai. To climb up to a Nascent Soul level martial artist who is rarely seen, they would have to ask him for help, which is extremely difficult.

I wonder if Dr. Su's connections will work...

No matter how anxiously Mu Liuli shouted, the chauffeur steadily drove the car slowly toward the Mu family's villa.

However, when she hurriedly led a few lackeys into the backyard of her private courtyard, she found that all the rooms were empty and there was no one there!

"Damn it, I'm the one who locked up those pretty boys!" Mu Liuli, who was full of hope but instantly disappointed, blurted out in exasperation upon seeing this.

The two guards exchanged a puzzled look. Their young lady always referred to herself as a "little fairy," so why was she suddenly calling herself "I"? Her temperament was truly eccentric and unpredictable!

She rushed forward and yanked open the half-closed security door. The thick iron door and lock showed no signs of damage, but she still had the only key. How did those people manage to escape?

"Search! Everyone, go search right now! If you can't find it, I'll skin you all alive!" Mu Liuli trembled with rage, then vented her anger on the guards.

After she forced herself to calm down, she belatedly realized that this was a modern world setting. The entire courtyard was full of surveillance cameras and combination locks. It was impossible for those pretty boys who were kept as playthings in the backyard by the original owner to escape from the heavily guarded Mu family without a sound!

They had already been tortured to the point of being like quails by the original owner, so there was no way they could have access to the tools to make the anti-theft key. In other words, the gigolos could not have escaped on their own. So who could they be?

Upon thinking of this, Mu Liuli's face immediately fell.

The original owner's reputation was already beyond redemption. In the entire Mu family, probably only that old man with kidney deficiency was genuinely good to her. As for the others... well, they all wished they could bring down the original owner as soon as possible and make her suffer!

So, someone must have secretly let the gigolos escape!

The thought that no one could torture and abuse someone for a hefty reward, thus preventing her from becoming stronger, made Mu Liuli's gaze darken as she narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance. "Hmph! I'll find out who it is..."

She couldn't think any further; she only felt a dull pain in the back of her head, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground under the surveillance camera.

Everyone in the compound was sent out to search for the whereabouts of the detained teenagers. It wasn't until the security personnel in charge of monitoring saw it on the surveillance camera that they immediately reported to their superiors and sent someone to check the situation.

"What? Liuli has fainted again?" Mu Donghai had just returned to his courtyard and hadn't even sat down to have a sip of tea when his assistant came running in, panting, to report.

His expression immediately turned serious.

The other person said even more anxiously, "The family doctor is on his way, and the young lady should be fine."

The most crucial thing now is that all the boys she imprisoned in the backyard have disappeared!

The fact that they managed to let one person escape back then almost ruined everything; thankfully, the Mu Group reacted quickly and managed to suppress it. Now, if so many people were to escape together…

Mu Donghai slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying in a deep voice, "Send out all the manpower! The Mu family mansion is so heavily guarded, no matter how capable they are, they can't possibly escape this garden. Search everywhere!"

"Elder, something seems amiss here." The assistant wiped the sweat from his brow and said cautiously, "After receiving the news, the guards immediately checked the surveillance footage, but... but none of the footage showed any of those teenagers."

The women installed surveillance cameras with no blind spots in the rooms where they were being held.

But... the video clearly shows that the security door suddenly opened by itself, and the detained boys, as if given a unified command, all left without exception. Once they reached a large tree in the yard that conveniently blocked the camera, they completely disappeared and were never seen again.

I led my men to thoroughly search the area around the tree, but there were no tunnels or signs of any magic formations used. Those people just vanished mysteriously!

mysteriously disappeared?

No, there's no such thing as a completely mysterious disappearance in this world; it must be some kind of undiscovered teleportation method.

Mu Donghai, being a Golden Core Realm expert who had lived to a ripe old age and seen many storms, immediately rejected the theory of his mysterious disappearance.

He realized that someone was behind this, but who could it be?

Moreover, all that trouble and such an unbelievable teleportation method was used just to save a few ordinary human teenagers who were imprisoned?

No, it's not that simple!

Could it be that they're... targeting me? Or are they using this opportunity to bring down the Mu Group?!

Who will be targeted in Chapter Six?

"Lead the way, I need to see for myself!" Mu Donghai was filled with dread and hurriedly left without even having time to drink his tea.

Meanwhile, Mu Liuli, who had already been carried to the comfortable bed in the bedroom, slowly woke up. She shook her still somewhat dazed head and touched the back of her head with her right hand, feeling puzzled.

Although the original owner had committed many evils and disliked cultivation, resulting in her being a mere novice at the second level of Qi Refining with a weak aura even though she was about to turn eighteen, she had never lacked elixirs since childhood and lived a life of luxury, making her physical condition far superior to that of ordinary people. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to capture so many pretty boys to serve her.

In the inherited memories, the original owner had never fainted for no reason. How come I fainted twice in just half a day after I transmigrated?

Could it be that being struck by lightning left some kind of aftereffect?

This damn stinking system doesn't even have a personal information panel! At least let me know my current health status, in case I have some hidden illness and need to find a way to earn some rewards to get rid of it, right?

The stench system is absolutely terrible; it doesn't even care about the host's health!

Mu Liuli curled up in the soft blanket and realized she was secretly cursing the system in her heart. The damn thing couldn't even notice. Hehehe, this is so comfortable.

"How are you feeling now, Miss?" The family doctor, Shen Xuhe, asked softly as he approached her after she woke up.

He was also a martial artist, but only a rogue healer who had only cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The path of spiritual cultivation has always emphasized the importance of resources, companions, methods, and environment. Whether it's the cultivation techniques, elixirs, or having enough time to patiently study and cultivate without worrying about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation, all aspects require substantial financial support.

As a rogue cultivator with no background, Shen Xuhe was fortunate to be a medical practitioner and also obtained two prescriptions for spiritual herbs, which allowed him to barely sustain his cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

They might not have the strength to join the High Martial Arts Association, but finding a family doctor from a low-ranking family like the Mu family would be a piece of cake.

My job is easy and I have plenty of time to cultivate, plus I get pretty good pay. If I'm frugal and save up some money, I might even get lucky and buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, which would allow me to successfully establish my foundation before I turn forty.

Therefore, Shen Xuhe treated his customers very well, even Mu Liuli, whom everyone feared. After all, he was invited by the family head and was a Qi Refining Level 7 martial artist. Mu Liuli, who was usually aggressive and would fight others, would not provoke him.

Oh? A family doctor? Or a martial artist?

When Mu Liuli turned her head and saw the other person's ordinary face, she immediately recognized him as someone from the original owner's memories.
