After killing Liu An, Gu Chen saw Wen Tao trying to run away and kicked him unconscious in one swift motion.
Then he walked up to Wen Ziqi and lifted the head of the Wen Family up.
Wen Ziqi was still pretending to be dead, but Gu Chen's approaching powerful aura forced him to open his eyes. Upon seeing Liu An's corpse, he was even more terrified.
Gu Chen led Wen Ziqi to the Mercedes. Gu Chen tossed him into the passenger seat, then sat down in the driver's seat himself, and said indifferently, "Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground. Wen Family, you are supposed to be a regional lord, yet you're afraid of even a dead body?"
"No, I'm not afraid." Wen Ziqi's voice was extremely hoarse; heaven knows how terrified he was.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, but simply started driving.
After the car had driven for some distance, Wen Ziqi managed a forced smile and asked, "Where are we going?"
"I'll wait for your call." Gu Chen said calmly, "Withdraw your attack on the Black Wind Hall. You have ten minutes left. If this isn't resolved by midnight, I'll kill you."
Although Gu Chen spoke casually, Wen Ziqi felt a deep tremor in his heart.
He certainly didn't doubt Gu Chen's words now. This guy was so strong that he didn't even care about the Liu Family. He killed Liu An without hesitation. Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for Gu Chen to deal with him.
But he was unwilling to accept this. Although the Liu Family had been defeated, the Black Wind Hall was now leaderless, which presented the best opportunity.
"Still need to consider?" Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Or perhaps, Wen Family thinks I was just casually talking to you? You should know that martial artists are not subject to many constraints. Killing you won't cause me any trouble."
"Gu Chen, our Wen Family has neither colluded with the Zhou Family nor offended you, so why are you targeting us?" Wen Ziqi asked excitedly. "You should go after the Zhou Family. They are plotting to become the number one family in Zhou City and are also colluding with martial arts sects. If I don't join forces with the Liu Family to fight against the Black Wind Hall, the Wen Family will also find it difficult to survive."
"What does this have to do with me?" Gu Chen looked at Wen Ziqi with a mocking gaze and said, "Do you perhaps want me to help you deal with the Zhou Family?"
"Gu Chen, with your strength, you certainly won't tolerate the Zhou Family's humiliation of you and your father!" Wen Ziqi swallowed hard and said, "We share a common goal and enemy, so why fight each other? We should work together to deal with the Zhou Family!"
"That makes sense." Gu Chen nodded.
Wen Ziqi was overjoyed, but the next moment, his face froze.
Because Gu Chen only paused briefly before continuing, "You have five minutes. If you don't stop in five minutes, you will die."
Gu Chen's voice was filled with coldness and murderous intent!
Wen Ziqi said anxiously, "Gu Chen, aren't you going to reconsider? Our Wen Family is, after all, one of the three great families!"
"I'm the kind of person who repays both kindness and vengeance," Gu Chen said calmly. "There's nothing about your Wen Family that's worth my acquaintance. Even if I wanted to deal with the Zhou Family, I wouldn't need you. The Black Wind Hall can take your place!"
"You!" Wen Ziqi looked at the young man in front of him, whose shrewdness sent chills down his spine.
"Three minutes." Gu Chen's voice was icy cold.
Finally, Wen Ziqi picked up the phone and called several of his subordinates.
His expression shifted several times before he gritted his teeth and said:
"Cease the offensive against the Black Wind Hall! Immediately, right now!"
After knocking Wen Ziqi unconscious and dumping him on the roadside, Gu Chen drove his car back to the hospital.
Zhao Haiqing had already entered the operating room, while Gu Chen played with Qi Ming's daughter for a while before turning to leave.
His interference in the affairs of the Black Wind Hall Wen Family this time had exceeded his principles and could be considered an exception. After this incident, he had repaid the favor he owed to Jade Guanyin. As for the future of Zhao Haiqing and the Black Wind Hall, he would never interfere again as long as it involved the underworld.
I got home at midnight.
Seeing that his father was already asleep, Gu Chen returned to his room to rest.
On the third day, Zhao Bo arrived at the Gu Family very early, ready to perform acupuncture on Gu Beichi.
After soaking in the Dragon Blood Pool for three days, today is the real test for repairing the meridians.
Why are you blindfolded?
Gu Beichi lay on the bed, looking at Zhao Bo with a strange expression.
"This is my unique skill; ideally, it would knock you out," Zhao Bo chuckled dryly. "However, for young friend Gu's sake, I'll let you keep your eyes blindfolded."
"I see."
After three days of soaking, Gu Beichi felt a tremendous change in his body. Although his meridians showed no signs of activity, he already had complete faith in Zhao Bo. Moreover, it was true that reclusive masters would have some privacy, and it was impossible for him to see such a unique secret manual.
So, Gu Beichi nodded and covered his head with the blindfold.
After Gu Beichi was out of sight, Zhao Bo looked at Gu Chen, then placed the row of silver needles in his hand beside the bed and stepped aside.
Gu Chen's expression turned serious, and he took a deep breath.
He picked up a silver needle, infused it with his own True Qi, and a brilliant light began to appear on the needle, like a swirling yellow flame, burning intensely.
Gu Chen reached out, located the acupoints, and began to insert the needles into his father's meridians.
Although Gu Chen had cultivated to the highest level in his previous life and was used to great storms, he was still slightly nervous at this moment.
His father was the greatest pain of his life. He gave up ascending to the realm of gods and reversed time to return, all to make up for the regrets of his past life!
Therefore, he cannot afford any mistakes in this meridian repair!
After three days of soaking in the Dragon Blood Pool, Gu Beichi's bodily functions had been fully activated. After inserting the first acupoint, Gu Chen gradually improved and became more and more adept.
After nearly two hours of acupuncture, it finally ended. Wiping away his sweat, Zhao Bo understood and said, "Boss Gu, now try circulating your qi and see if you can gather it."
"So fast?" Gu Beichi's heart was also racing; he was incredibly nervous.
"Don't you trust this old man?" Zhao Bo grunted.
Gu Beichi hurriedly replied, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."
After he finished speaking, he immediately began to gather his energy.
Immediately afterwards, his body trembled violently, and his hands crackled as he clenched them.
During this process, Gu Chen also appeared slightly nervous, looking at his father on the bed without saying a word.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Beichi finally stopped shaking, then propped himself up on the bed, took off his hood, and his face was already covered in tears!
"I... I can feel the flow of True Qi!"
