Chapter 289: Chapter 265 Farewell Joy (Part 3)

"You get in..."

"Oh no... I’ll go out!"

Such terrible lines... Zhao Qi’s mind was a mess. He regretted speaking as soon as he opened his mouth, so he hurriedly opened the car door and took a breath of fresh air.

The space inside the car was narrow... if they started fighting, he would surely get beaten up without anyone seeing.

Outside, there might still be a chance to call for help.

Mr. Xiao Cui probably hadn’t gone far, and there was also a strangely dressed guy who didn’t look like a bad person... After getting out of the car, Zhao Qi looked first at where they had been standing, but only found a gust of wind rolling up dry leaves.

His two "saviors," whom he had placed his hopes on, had disappeared without a trace.

Fine... since there was no one around, it didn’t matter whether it was inside or outside the car.

"What do you want to do..."

As soon as Zhao Qi got out of the car, he stared closely at Gu Shen, afraid that he might play dirty.

"Relax, I’m not a good person, this you should already know," Gu Shen said calmly. "In this remote wilderness... can you escape, can you hide?"

"Don’t you dare... Deep Sea is watching," Zhao Qi panicked a bit when he heard this, patting the car. "You should know, my father is..."

"Playing this card again... Your father is Zhao Xilai, right?" Gu Shen looked at him, somewhat helplessly and mockingly said, "Is there anything else you can say?"

Zhao Qi was stunned.

"Just as you said... Deep Sea is watching, always watching."

Gu Shen did not pat the car but pointed above their heads. How many pairs of Heavenly Eyes were hidden in the clouds, no one knew.

"Only, without evidence, who would know what happened?"

Gu Shen’s words carried a sense of recklessness because he knew that everything he did here, even if caught by the Heavenly Eye, those images would be taken over by Chu Ling.

Gu Shen looked at Zhao Qi with a bit of pity.

In a sense,

the highest authority in the Dadu District was not your father... it was me.

These words... seemed familiar.

Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, feeling very ironic because these were the words he had said before. In the past, he had done many illegal things, though minor, and his messes were always cleaned up by his father...

"The reason for talking to you... is about the Freedom Hall incident."

Gu Shen just mentioned lightly, seeing Brother Lanni’s face suddenly change, he couldn’t help but sneer, "Is it that shocking?"

If guessed right, today Mr. Zhao was talking to Lu Nanzhi about this matter.

Otherwise... today’s conversation would not have included Zhao Qi.

From Gu Shen’s understanding of Zhao Qi,

after Zhao Qi finished the dirty work at Freedom Hall and saw his plan fail... he must have confessed to Elder Zhao.

"You..."

Zhao Qi’s mind was truly blank now.

He couldn’t figure out how Gu Shen knew this information.

He thought he did it perfectly?

"I guess Elder Zhao arranged to send you out of Dadu, probably to North Continent?"

Gu Shen pondered, "After all, you’re the ’core figure’ of the Zhao Family, maybe you have some key technology... If sent to Central Continent, you’d be targeted by the Transcendents from the Source Tower as soon as you land. If sent to West Continent, Light City might also have plans for you. The least likely is Southern Continent... sending you there would be worse than staying in Dadu’s prison, within a month, you’d be devoured by those fanatic zealots."

"Thinking about it... North Continent seems the most likely, sent to a Fortress. To strengthen your resolve, make your bones harder, rather than always being a lump of mud."

Seeing Zhao Qi’s dazed expression.

Gu Shen smiled, "Just talking nonsense... did I guess right?"

Gu Shen stared at Zhao Qi, the Chi Huo between his brows flickered.

He read Zhao Qi’s thoughts and whispered, "Oh... you don’t want to go anywhere, just want to stay in Dadu."

"Indeed, how good is Dadu, with fine wine, beautiful women, and endless mountains of gold and silver..."

In the next moment,

Gu Shen punched.

The fierce wind of the punch carried shattered leaves, hitting Zhao Qi in the face.

The punch was too fast.

It came fast, and it was retracted fast.

Gu Shen’s fist hovered in front of Zhao Qi’s forehead.

A piece of picked-up dry leaf stuck to Zhao Qi’s forehead with a slap and the belated Young Master Zhao’s face turned as pale as paper, thunder roaring in his ears, his hands propped on the front cover of the car behind him, trembling, almost falling.

This punch didn’t even touch Zhao Qi.

But Zhao Qi’s brow was slowly cracked open with a thin slit.

A pain like being cut by a knife bloomed at the point where the dry leaf touched his skin...

Gu Shen slowly withdrew his fist.

He said calmly, "But remember... there are also such fists in Da Du."

Zhao Qi couldn’t hold it in anymore.

He turned and ran.

Gu Shen showed no expression, gently hooked his index finger, and in the next moment, a car door flipped open violently, hitting Zhao Qi heavily, knocking him to the ground, the front cover of the car flew off with a bang, scattered in the air then reformed, finally turning into a thin iron coat, firmly pinning him to the ground.

Young Master Zhao’s face was covered in blood.

He struggled hard, but he was like a dried fish caught in an iron net, unable to move at all.

In the end, he could only look at Gu Shen in panic... hell! What kind of ability was this?!

Gu Shen sat astride in front of Zhao Qi, reaching out, grabbing Zhao Qi by the collar, using the power of Chi Huo, and said word for word, "Remember, it’s not just Song Ci, not just me... there are thousands of fists in Da Du, today, tomorrow, every day, those fists might appear on your face."

Zhao Qi, face full of blood, desperately lifted his head.

He shouted hoarsely, "I just want to be a piece of mud, is that wrong?!"

Gu Shen was silent for a second and said sincerely,

"There’s nothing wrong... everyone has the right to choose their fate."

Zhao Qi froze.

Gu Shen raised his hand, the iron coat flew back, turning into the car’s front cover, restored to its original state.

In the next moment,

Gu Shen punched Zhao Qi heavily to the ground.

Young Master Zhao’s head roared, his nose filled with the muddy and earthy smell.

Gu Shen said coldly, "But if you want to be mud... then crawl back into the sewer, enjoy your own stench, having done so many evil deeds, and you still have the nerve to say you just want to be mud?"

He stood up slowly, "I must give you this punch today... whether Mrs. Lu forgives you or not, whether Song Ci spares you or not."

"Even if you leave Da Du, from now on, as long as you are like this, I’ll beat you every time I see you."
