“Come in…”

“Oh no… I'm going out!”

What terrible dialogue… Zhao Qi's mind was in a mess. He immediately regretted speaking and hurriedly opened the car door, taking a breath of fresh air.

The space inside the car was cramped… If they started fighting, he would just get beaten for nothing, and no one would see it.

Outside, he might be able to call for help.

Mr. Cui shouldn't have gone far, and there was also a strangely dressed fellow over there who didn't look like a bad guy… After getting out of the car, Zhao Qi immediately looked in the direction where the two of them had been standing, only to find a gust of cold wind sweeping up dead leaves.

The two “saviors” he had placed his hopes on had disappeared without a trace.

Okay… Since there was no one around, it didn't matter whether he was in the car or out of it.

“What do you want to do…”

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhao Qi stared at Gu Shen, afraid that this guy would not play fair.

“Relax, I'm not a good person, you knew that a long time ago." Gu Shen said calmly, "In this desolate and remote place… can you escape, can you hide?”

“Don't mess around… Shenhai is watching.” Zhao Qi panicked a little, patted the car, and said, “You should know, my father is…”

“Playing that card again… Zhao Xilai, right?” Gu Shen looked at this guy, feeling a little helpless. He said sarcastically, "Besides that sentence, can you say anything else?"

Zhao Qi was stunned.

“Just as you said… Shenhai is watching, always watching.”

Gu Shen didn't pat the car, but pointed to the top of their heads. No one knew how many heavenly eyes were hidden above the dome of clouds.

“However, without evidence, who will know what happened?”

Gu Shen said this with a bit of recklessness because he knew that everything he was doing here now, even if it was captured by the heavenly eyes, those images would be taken over by Chu Ling.

Gu Shen looked at Zhao Qi with some pity.

In a sense.

The one with the highest authority in the Dadu District isn't your father… it's me.

These words… sounded familiar.

Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, feeling very ironic, because these were the words he had said before. He had done many illegal things in the past, although they were all small things, the messes he had made were all paid for by his father…

“The reason I'm looking for you to chat… is about the Liberty Auditorium incident.”

Gu Shen just mentioned it lightly, and seeing Brother Mud's face change drastically, he couldn't help but sneer, "Are you that shocked?"

If he wasn't mistaken, Old Man Zhao probably asked Lu Nanzhi to talk today about this matter.

Otherwise… today's conversation would not have included Zhao Qi no matter what.

Based on Gu Shen's understanding of Zhao Qi.

After this guy finished the bad things at the Liberty Auditorium, and saw that his plan had failed… he probably confessed to Old Man Zhao.

“You…”

Zhao Qi's brain was now completely blank.

He didn't understand how Gu Shen knew about this news.

He thought he had done it perfectly.

“I guess the Old Man's plan is to send you out of Dadu, as for where to send you… it should be North Continent, right?”

Gu Shen pondered, and said, "After all, you are a 'core figure' of the Zhao family, and you may have some key technologies… If you are sent to Central Continent, I'm afraid you will be targeted by the transcendents of the Source Tower as soon as you land. If you are sent to the Western Continent, Light City may not spare you either. The most impossible is the Southern Continent… sending you to the Southern Continent is not as good as staying in Dadu to go to jail. In less than a month, you will be gnawed clean by those fanatical cultists."

“Looking at it this way… the most likely is the Northern Continent, sending you to a fortress. Train your will well, and make your bones harder, so you won't live like a pile of mud for the rest of your life.”

Seeing Zhao Qi's dazed expression.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "I'm just guessing… Did I guess right?"

Gu Shen stared at Zhao Qi, and the blazing fire in his brow flickered.

He read what the other person was thinking and said softly, "Oh… so you don't want to go anywhere, you just want to stay in Dadu."

“Indeed, Dadu is so good, with fine wine, beautiful women, and endless mountains of gold and silver…”

The next moment.

Gu Shen punched out instantly.

The fierce fist wind wrapped in shattered leaves, hitting Zhao Qi's face.

This punch was too fast.

It came quickly, and it retracted quickly.

Gu Shen's fist hung in front of Zhao Qi's forehead.

A withered leaf that had been rolled up slapped onto Zhao Qi's forehead. The belated Young Master Zhao, his face as pale as paper, his ears roaring, supporting himself on the hood of the car with both hands, his legs trembling, almost falling.

This punch didn't even touch Zhao Qi.

But at the center of Zhao Qi's brow, a thin crack slowly opened.

There was a knife-like pain, blooming at the contact point between the withered leaf and the skin…

Gu Shen slowly retracted his fist.

He said calmly, “But you have to remember… Dadu also has such fists.”

Zhao Qi couldn't hold it anymore.

He turned around and ran.

Gu Shen was expressionless, gently hooked his index finger. The next moment, the car door on the side suddenly opened, knocking Zhao Qi heavily to the ground. The hood of the car flew out with a bang, shaking apart and reuniting in the air, finally turning into a thin iron garment, firmly nailing him to the ground.

Young Master Zhao's face was covered in blood.

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

In the end, he could only look at Gu Shen in horror… What kind of ability is this?!

Gu Shen straddled Zhao Qi, reached out a hand, grabbed Zhao Qi's collar, used the power of the blazing fire, and said word by word, "I want you to remember, it's not just Song Ci, and it's not just me… Dadu has thousands upon thousands of fists, today, tomorrow, every day in the future, these fists may appear on your face."

Zhao Qi, his face covered in blood, desperately raised his head.

He roared hoarsely, “I just want to be a pile of mud, is there something wrong with that?!”

Gu Shen was silent for a second, and said sincerely.

“There's nothing wrong… Everyone has the right to choose their own destiny.”

Zhao Qi was stunned.

Gu Shen raised his hand, and the iron garment flew back, turning into the hood of the car again, inlaid as before.

The next moment.

Gu Shen punched Zhao Qi heavily to the ground.

Young Master Zhao's head was buzzing, his nose filled with the muddy smell of soil.

Gu Shen said coldly, “But if you want to be mud… you should roll back into the sewer and admire your own stench. You've done so many bad things, and you still have the nerve to say you just want to be a pile of mud?”

He stood up slowly and said, “This punch today… regardless of whether Madam Lu forgives you or not, whether Song Ci lets you go or not, I must hit you.”

“Even if you leave Dadu, it's the same… From now on, as long as you're still like this, I'll hit you every time I see you.”
