East China Sea, in a gym.
Hoshino Kannon, who was squatting with a barbell, received a call from Lin Yu.
She got up and walked into the restroom to answer the call.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Hoshino Kannon no longer had any rose-tinted impressions of Lin Yu, so her tone was also rather cold.
"You still haven't killed Gu Chenan, have you?" Lin Yu's tone was also not friendly, and even had a somewhat questioning tone.
"Yes, do you have something to say?" Hoshino Kannon asked.
"Since you still haven't made a move on Gu Chenan, then there's no need to do so. You just need to protect my Qianmo, as for Gu Chenan I have other methods." Lin Yu said.
Hoshino Kannon was surprised.
She knew what Lin Yu meant by "other methods".
Although Lin Yu had just joined the Black Owl, because she had previously described him to the Black Owl organization as someone who was fearless of death and extremely valued relationships, Lin Yu was also respected within the Black Owl.
He could easily get others to come to East China Sea and kill Gu Chenan!
But this was something Hoshino Kannon absolutely did not want to see happen.
The reason was simple.
Gu Chenan was Hoshino Kannon's identified and locked-on prey. Aside from Hoshino Kannon herself, she would not allow anyone else to kill Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan could die, but only by her own hand.
However, Hoshino Kannon did not share her thoughts with Lin Yu, only asking: "Why the sudden change of plans, did something happen?"
Not mentioning this would have been fine, but as soon as it was brought up Lin Yu became furious to the point of dying.
After taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, he said: "That scumbag Gu Chenan actually sent people to assassinate me twice. This time I'm going to let him know what a killer is, what an assassin is!"
"Pfft~"
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Hoshino Kannon couldn't help but laugh.
So that's how things had developed?
It was really quite dramatic.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yu frowned immediately.
What he hated most in his life was other people mocking him.
"It's nothing, good luck to you." Hoshino Kannon said with a laugh.
Lin Yu did not sense anything out of the ordinary and exhorted: "Hmm, remember to protect my Qianmo well, Gu Chenan must not be allowed to take advantage of him."
The call was disconnected.
"Hahahahaha!"
Hoshino Kannon covered her stomach with one hand and slapped the vanity with the other as she laughed uncontrollably.
It was too funny.
That idiot Lin Yu still talked about protecting his Qianmo right before hanging up.
Haha, the one trying to kill you is your Qianmo!
Hoshino Kannon even laughed out tears.
Just then, a man who had just finished using the restroom walked out. Seeing Hoshino Kannon's ridiculous appearance, he immediately frowned.
Hoshino Kannon's eyes narrowed as she angrily said to him: "What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?!"
...
The Su Residence.
Early that morning, Su Tianming was walking his bird in a cage in the back garden of the manor.
But after just a few steps, he suddenly face planted into the ground.
The servants in the back garden were shocked when they saw this. They quickly called an ambulance to take Su Tianming to the hospital.
Su's mother also rushed anxiously from Su's real estate group to the hospital.
Everyone had assumed that Su Tianming had fallen due to his advanced age and lost consciousness.
So for fear of disturbing Su Qianmo's work, they did not tell him about this.
But when the doctor performed a series of diagnostic tests on Su Tianming, they came to a conclusion.
Su Tianming was completely normal, and the hospital also did not know why Su Tianming lost consciousness.
As soon as this result came out, Su's mother panicked. She immediately called Su Qianmo.
Su Qianmo, who was in a meeting, did not continue the meeting when he received the call from Su's mother. He got in his car and went straight home.
Three days later, a shocking piece of news came out of the Su family.
The Su family patriarch was seriously ill and in a coma. The family was now seeking medical expertise from the public. Anyone who could cure the Su family patriarch's illness would be richly rewarded with 10 million yuan and a piece of land in the development zone.
As soon as this news came out, the entire East China Sea was shocked.
Nearby Suzhou soon learned of this as well.
Lin Yu, who was in Suzhou but was keeping extremely close tabs on any movements in East China Sea, also immediately found out about this news.
In his opinion, Su Tianming was his future father-in-law. Plus, there was a reward of 10 million yuan and a piece of land in the development zone for curing Su Tianming.
No matter what, he had to go!
As for medical skills, he was not worried. Although he did not know how to treat illnesses himself, one of the three ferocious people around him was proficient in medicine!
As long as he took that person with him to East China Sea, he would definitely be able to cure Su Tianming!
Without any hesitation, as soon as Lin Yu heard the news, his feet carried him and that member of the Black Owl who was proficient in medicine towards East China Sea.
At that moment in the Gu family.
"Don't move, this is the last needle."
"Young Master Gu, be gentle."
"Don't be afraid, I'll be gentle."
"Ah~"
With a moan, Gu Chenan inserted the silver needle into Bai Yutian's acupoint.
"Phew." Gu Chenan patted his hands: "Done."
Over the past few days, Gu Chenan had learned the basics of the Tang family's medical skills.
On the surface, the Tang family's medical skills seemed no different from ordinary acupuncture, but in reality there was a world of difference.
One only inserted silver needles into acupoints, while the other also activated the silver needles with innate qi to treat the illness after insertion into the acupoints.
It could be said that without innate qi, it was simply impossible to learn the Tang family's medical skills.
This also made Gu Chenan truly understand what was meant by medicine and martial arts being indissociable.
Just then, Ma Bing came to Gu Chenan's door.
"Young Master Gu, there's trouble."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's eyebrows furrowed.
Earlier, he had sent Ma Bing to send people to investigate Lin Yu's information in Suzhou. Could something unexpected have happened in Suzhou?
Gu Chenan removed the needles from Bai Yutian and waited for her to get dressed before opening the door.
"What happened?"
Ma Bing said solemnly: "The Su family patriarch has fallen into a coma. Not only are the hospitals at a loss, even famous doctors from the public have no way to treat him."
Upon hearing this news, Gu Chenan's eyebrows immediately raised.
According to the plot in the novel, Su Tianming's serious illness and coma still had at least ten more days.
How did it get brought forward so much earlier now?
"Who did you hear that from?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Young Master Gu, I didn't hear it from anyone..." Ma Bing had an embarrassed look on his face as he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen and placed it in front of Gu Chenan.
"...it's already in the news. The whole East China Sea knows about it now."
"Huh?" Gu Chenan was dumbfounded.
These past few days he had been intensively practicing medicine, and had not paid any attention to anything happening externally at all.
Most importantly, Su Qianmo hadn't mentioned anything to him either!
But now there was no time to worry about all that. The plot had already begun, and he had to be there.
And more importantly, he absolutely could not let Lin Yu pretend to cure Su Tianming like in the original plot.
Gu Chenan grabbed his coat and acupuncture kit, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, go with me to the Su residence."
Gu Chenan and Ma Bing quickly walked out of the main hall, got in the car, and drove towards the Su residence.
In the car, Gu Chenan felt somewhat uneasy.
He was afraid that the plot would be completely fragmented, completely deviating from the original plot.
If that was really the case, then his only advantage would cease to exist.
The previous collapse of the plot was a collapse, but there had never been such an early appearance before. Yet this time it was actually brought forward a full ten days!
But no matter how the plot developed, he could not let Lin Yu pretend to achieve great things like in the novel.
Gu Chenan took a deep breath.

e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years?

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
