"Yes, Daoist Qiu Menghen!" The group acknowledged the order.
Just then, several Iron Fist Sect disciples who were on surveillance outside rushed in with slightly nervous expressions... "Sect Leader, fellow Daoists, Abbess, Master... Just now, we saw a Lexus sedan drive into the flat area outside Gao Jianfei's residence! Then, several people helped an old man out of the car and went directly into Gao Jianfei's clinic!"
"Oh?" Qiu Menghen smiled faintly. "It's nothing. Since Gao Jianfei opened a clinic to practice medicine, most of the time, it's his patients who come to him."
“This…” a disciple of the Iron Fist Sect quickly added, “Daoist Master, the license plate of that Lexus sedan belongs to the D City Municipal Party Committee… If I’m not mistaken, it’s the mayor’s car!”
"Huh?" Qiu Menghen and the others raised their eyebrows. "Mayor? This..."
If Gao Jianfei also had connections with the mayor of D City, then this group of people from the internal martial arts faction really wouldn't dare to be too blatant!
"Could it be that Gao Jianfei..." Xue Ba, the leader of the Iron Fist Sect, smacked his lips and said, "...that the mayor has also come to see Gao Jianfei for medical treatment? This...this is not a good situation..."
City D. District J.
Inside Uncle Yao's luxurious villa!
Tonight, Uncle Yao personally greeted more than a dozen mysterious figures!
The welcoming party was very grand.
Uncle Yao personally came, and all twelve of his adopted sons also rushed over! In addition, a group of his elite henchmen also came to accompany him.
They were only greeted by 15 people!
Five of them were Taoist priests, while the other ten were dressed as laypeople.
These 15 people exuded an aura unlike that of ordinary people. So much so that even the elite members of the underworld, those who spent their days risking their lives, the underground boxing champions, the karate masters, the Japanese kendo experts, and the snipers Uncle Yao had hired at great expense, all felt an unusual sense of oppression in Uncle Yao's villa!
People from the Qingcheng Sect!
These 15 people, naturally, are from the Qingcheng Sect!
"Esteemed Taoist priests, this way please." Uncle Yao bowed and led the way for the 15 people.
Among the 15 people, the leader was a kind-looking Taoist priest, who was none other than Luo Huazi, who had gone to ZG City to ambush Gao Jianfei in his hometown!
“Uncle, there’s no need for such formalities.” Luo Huazi smiled and said, “We Taoists didn’t intend to bother you, Uncle. However, none of us have been to D City before, so we’ll have to trouble you, Uncle, as our host.”
"Please don't take offense, Daoist Master!" Uncle Yao said, flattered. "It's an honor that you all have come to D City and to my home! Don't worry, everyone, please stay here! My villa is very spacious and has enough room for you all!"
"Hmm." Luo Huazi didn't say anything more polite. He reached into his robes, pulled out a small brocade box, and handed it directly to his uncle. "Uncle, this is a gift from our Qingcheng Sect to you. Inside this box is one pill, a high-grade pill from our Qingcheng Sect, which has unique effects on prolonging life."
"Ah! Ah!" Uncle Yao excitedly took the brocade box, his whole body trembling!
Of course he knew the value of the Qingcheng Sect's high-grade pills!
That's something that absolutely cannot be bought with money!
Meanwhile, everyone else standing next to Uncle Yao—whether his adopted son, his subordinates, or the experts he had hired from all over the world at great expense—stared intently at the brocade box in Uncle Yao's hand.
Uncle Yao carefully put away the brocade box, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Fellow Qingcheng Immortals, I am a mortal, and I am bound to be subject to some constraints. Therefore, I cannot assist you in directly dealing with Gao Jianfei. At most, all I can do is to mobilize my subordinates to find out Gao Jianfei's whereabouts, nothing more."
Luo Huazi nodded. "Uncle, we understand your predicament. You only need to provide us with intelligence leads, and that will be enough."
"Yes, yes, yes," Uncle Yao nodded obsequiously.
At Gao Jianfei's clinic.
The Zuo couple, along with District Chief Hua, helped Old Master Zuo into the clinic so that Gao Jianfei could administer treatment.
Gao Jianfei had already prepared a strong medicinal soup using various rare Chinese herbs, supplemented with a small amount of century-old wild ginseng, and had Zuo Qing feed it to Old Master Zuo.
After two days of acupuncture, Grandpa Zuo's pain had lessened somewhat, and his mind had recovered considerably. He looked at Gao Jianfei with gratitude and smiled at him. He also cooperated well in taking his medicine.
After drinking the medicinal soup, half an hour later, Old Master Zuo's complexion had noticeably improved! His speech had also become much more fluent. "Ha, young doctor, I never imagined that in today's society, there would still be such a highly skilled doctor like you! I don't know how many doctors and specialists I've consulted for this illness... Bullshit specialists! They're not even as good as you, young doctor, giving this old man a few acupuncture needles!"
"Oh, you flatter me, sir," Gao Jianfei said with a polite smile.
The attitude of Zuo Qing and his wife towards Gao Jianfei can now be described as complete adoration.
Then, Gao Jianfei slowly began to administer acupuncture to Old Master Zuo.
This time, Gao Jianfei's acupuncture movements were unusually slow; he was deliberately delaying the treatment! In the past, Gao Jianfei could always complete the treatment of Old Master Zuo in one hour, but this time, it took a full three hours!
Gao Jianfei knew that the enemy outside could come and arrest him at any time under the cover of night! But as long as Grandpa Zuo and the others stayed in the clinic, the enemy would be wary and dare not come over!
After all, those guys outside couldn't possibly not know that Mayor Zuo's license plate had that unique number belonging to the municipal government!
They would never dare to snatch someone from Gao Jianfei's clinic in front of the mayor!
On the other hand, Gao Jianfei was treating A Zhu while waiting for her soul to be pieced together.
Currently, 91% of A'Zhu's soul has been pieced together. Before long, Gao Jianfei will be able to meet A'Zhu in the Ghost Den and learn the art of disguise from her.
Gao Jianfei timed it perfectly, and after seeing the old man off, he went straight into the Ghost Den to learn martial arts.
During the acupuncture treatment, Gao Jianfei also mentioned the treatment of Thomson, the chief official of the U.S. Embassy in China.
Gao Jianfei promised Mayor Zuo that he would visit Thomson to treat him when he had time. He would then ask Mayor Zuo to personally introduce him.
Tonight, Gao Jianfei treated Grandpa Zuo for a full four hours!
Of course, Mayor Zuo and his family did not dare to urge Gao Jianfei.
Just as Gao Jianfei removed the last silver needle from Old Master Zuo's body, the intelligent program's voice reminded him, "Dear user, congratulations! The soul of the Level 3 ghost A'Zhu has been pieced together. She has now been housed in room 3-4 of the Ghost Den. You can see her soon. For housing the soul of the Level 3 ghost A'Zhu, you have gained a total of '1400' experience points and '1400' exorcism points. Please continue your efforts and try to housing more Level 3 ghosts to level up as soon as possible!"
Gao Jianfei smiled and said to Mayor Zuo and the others, "Alright, Mayor Zuo, today's treatment is complete. Take the old man home to rest. Come back tomorrow evening."
But Gao Jianfei was secretly chuckling to himself... Great! Soon I can learn the art of disguise! Soon I can see the beautiful A'Zhu! Soon I can meet Qiao Feng's girlfriend!
Chapter 254 The Cunning A'Zhu!
Chapter 254 The Cunning A'Zhu!
Just as the intelligent program reminded Gao Jianfei that A Zhu's soul had been pieced together, Gao Jianfei completed his acupuncture treatment on Old Master Zuo.
Gao Jianfei smiled and said, "Alright, Mayor Zuo, you can take the old man home to rest now."
With that, Gao Jianfei stood up and personally helped Old Master Zuo walk out of the clinic.
This gesture deeply moved the Zuo family!
It should be noted that during the previous treatments, Gao Jianfei never personally saw the old man off at the clinic! He always left him there in a slightly arrogant manner.
Has the sun risen in the west this time?
Of course not!
Gao Jianfei had his own ideas in mind!
After Gao Jianfei helped Old Master Zuo out of the clinic, some hidden places in the village, where internal martial arts masters were lurking, all saw Gao Jianfei leave the clinic!
Qiu Menghen, too, had infiltrated the village, keeping a close watch on Gao Jianfei's house. Nighttime was a good opportunity for them to capture Gao Jianfei, but they never expected that the mayor of D City would come to visit them at this hour!
How could these people in the inner circle dare to directly touch the mayor of a city?
So they kept it to themselves.
It's so frustrating outside!
In their hearts, they had always been hoping... "Mayor! Mayor, please leave quickly! If you don't leave, how are we going to arrest Gao Jianfei?"
Unfortunately, this time, Gao Jianfei's treatment lasted a full four hours. This drove the group of internal martial arts masters almost crazy!
Finally, the mayor left Gao Jianfei's clinic. But unexpectedly, Gao Jianfei followed the mayor and his entourage out!
After Gao Jianfei helped Old Master Zuo out, he quietly turned off the clinic lights and then pulled down the clinic's roller shutter.
"Hmm?" In the shadows, Qiu Menghen raised an eyebrow and whispered to Abbot Wuku of the Day and Night Temple beside her, "Is Gao Jianfei trying to slip away? Trying to get away in the mayor's car?"
“This…is very possible!” Master Wuku frowned. But then he smiled and said, “Daoist Master, there’s no need to worry. Heh, if Gao Jianfei wants to use the mayor as cover…then he’s completely outsmarting himself! Think about it, Daoist Master, the mayor’s car is extremely easy to identify. As long as Gao Jianfei uses the mayor’s car to leave this village, on the one hand, our people will immediately follow him in their cars, and on the other hand, we will issue orders to our disciples in the city by phone, instructing them to keep a close watch on the mayor’s car. Unless Gao Jianfei goes to the mayor’s house with him, otherwise…hmph, he definitely won’t be able to escape!”
Hearing what the monk Wuku said, Qiu Menghen did indeed feel relieved.
Hmm. That makes sense; the mayor's car is too easy to identify and pinpoint!
Gao Jianfei personally helped Old Master Zuo out of the clinic and deliberately closed the clinic's roller shutter door, intending to create a visual and judgmental lapse for the other party!
Gao Jianfei feigned enthusiasm, helping Old Master Zuo into the car, and then deliberately bent down to give him a few words of advice.
The moment the Lexus started moving, Gao Jianfei channeled all his internal energy to its limit and leaped backward several times!
In the blink of an eye, Gao Jianfei had reached a corner of his house! This place was a blind spot in the sight of the group of people monitoring the house!
Furthermore, Gao Jianfei had used the Lexus sedan as cover, then jumped to the back the instant the car started moving. Besides, it was quite dark, around 11 PM. In such darkness, and with Gao Jianfei's lightning-fast movements, the moment the Lexus drove away and Gao Jianfei hid around the corner, the people monitoring him were focused on the Lexus and didn't notice him at all!
"Phew," Gao Jianfei leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief, watching the Lexus car leave the village.
That seemingly simple backward jump was actually the pinnacle of Gao Jianfei's mastery of lightness skill!
"Damn, I guess they haven't been discovered yet?" Gao Jianfei sighed inwardly. Without thinking too much about it, he mentally instructed the nearby stray dogs, "Alright, you guys guard the house for me. If the enemy comes, don't attack, just keep an eye on their every move. I'm outta here!"
With a thought, Gao Jianfei entered the Ghost Den!
Meanwhile, those responsible for surveillance...
"Hmm? Daoist Qiu Menghen, Gao Jianfei has indeed left this village in the mayor's car!" Master Wuku said with certainty.
"Yes! He got in the car and left." Daoist Qiu Menghen also confirmed Master Wuku's statement.
Immediately, Daoist Qiu Menghen instructed the men dressed as laypeople beside him, "Gentlemen, please spread the news of Gao Jianfei leaving Butterfly Village to the city! Have our men keep a close eye on the mayor's car!"
After giving some instructions, the three Chery QQ cars that had been guarding the village entrance sped off and chased after them along the road!
A dozen or so experts in internal martial arts flagged down several taxis on the roadside... and gave chase!
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, welcome to your haunted home." The AI program's voice remained as loyal as ever.
"Yes, I came here to see A-Zhu." Gao Jianfei didn't waste any time and went straight up to the third floor of the Ghost Den.
Rooms 3 and 4.
The door was ajar.
Gao Jianfei pushed the door open and entered.
Just like Mu Wanqing's boudoir, in these 3-4 rooms, as soon as Gao Jianfei pushed open the door, a faint, fragrant, and elegant scent lingered around Gao Jianfei's nose!
In addition, this fragrance also carries the refreshing scent of lotus leaves, which makes one forget worries and cleanse oneself of worldly concerns.
The scene in this room...
All I could see was a pond!
A winding walkway, like a bridge, spans the pond! In the center of the pond stands a pavilion, where a graceful woman sits!
