CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 193: BORROW A KNIFE TO KILL 3
With the power of the Yuan Family, going through legal procedures is impossible. They will definitely use the fastest and most aggressive means to eliminate Gao Xuan.
Now, she only hopes that Wei Yue is smart enough not to get involved in this mess.
Yet, Wei Yue let Yan Qingge down; she stood up and entered the arena with Wei Zhenzhen, standing right beside Gao Xuan.
She didn’t go to speak to anyone. In this situation, it was clear—someone had died, and nothing could be said. Yuan Hao’s position was so important, there was no way to settle it peacefully.
Yuan Ansheng stood up holding Yuan Hao’s corpse. From afar, he said to Gao Xuan, "Wait for your death."
Yuan Ansheng’s eyes, filled with hatred, swept over Jiang Yuan, Jiang Xuejun, Qingyi Fei Niao, and others, "You all deserve to die."
After saying this, Yuan Ansheng led a group of people from the Yuan Family away with large strides.
Yuan Ansheng was elegantly dressed with an extraordinary demeanor. The threats he issued were by no means mere intimidation.
Jiang Yuan, Jiang Xuejun, and the others turned pale. They all knew the matter had blown up. There was likely no way to wrap it up.
"Can’t afford to play, huh..."
Gao Xuan shrugged helplessly, then softly reassured everyone, "Don’t panic, if we die, we die together. We’ll head to the Netherworld in a lively manner, not afraid to see ghosts."
Unfortunately, the joke was too cold.
The group was scared to death and couldn’t bring themselves to laugh.
Only Wei Zhenzhen could laugh carelessly, baring her teeth. She clung to Gao Xuan’s arm with genuine loyalty, "Brother Xuan, I’ll be with you no matter life or death."
"Wow, I’m really touched."
Gao Xuan patted Wei Zhenzhen’s head; this child truly was bravely naïve, simply unaware and fearless. But of course, this sentiment was still good.
Wei Yue spoke softly, "Let’s go back first."
No matter how the other side planned to retaliate, staying here wouldn’t solve anything.
Jiang Yuan sighed deeply and led the group to the dressing room.
In fact, only Gao Xuan needed to change clothes as the others weren’t wearing any armor.
Once Gao Xuan changed, the group left the Sword Dojo and boarded their designated car.
Seeing the group getting in the car, the driver was filled with anger and yelled, "Murderers, you have no right to ride in this car."
Gao Xuan grabbed the driver’s neck and tossed him out, smiling as he said, "I can drive, no problem."
These large flying cars were all equipped with intelligent controls. Fortunately, Gao Xuan knocked the driver out, so they could start normally.
The flying car returned to the Yuelai Inn, and it commenced intelligent driving to head back by itself.
The whole group arrived at Gao Xuan’s villa, which was lucky as his living room was more than 200 square meters, spacious enough.
Back at the inn, with no outsiders around, Jiang Yuan finally couldn’t hold back, "Gao Xuan, you were too impulsive."
He sighed deeply, "Killing Yuan Hao leaves no room for negotiation. Compared to that, killing Han Peng is insignificant."
Jiang Yuan pondered and said, "I have a friend on White Rat Star; Gao Xuan, you should go there to lie low for a while."
Gao Xuan felt quite moved. This old man was really righteous.
"No,"
Wei Yue said, "The routes out of Zhongjing must be sealed by now. They’re just waiting for Gao Xuan to leave."
She added, "Let’s wait and see what Principal Luo has to say."
Wei Yue thought for a moment and then told everyone, "You all should go back and rest. No need to worry for now. Yuelai Inn is a centuries-old establishment; it’s Wang Family’s place. There won’t be any issues."
Xu Lingyun, Jiang Xuejun, and the group of young people had a lot of trust in Wei Yue, so they each dispersed.
Even though Jiang Yuan was full of worries, he had no solutions and left for now.
Wei Zhenzhen didn’t want to leave but was forced away by Wei Yue.
Finally, only Yun Qingshang, Yan Qingge, Wei Yue, and Gao Xuan were left in the room.
Wei Yue asked Yan Qingge, "Do you have a way to contact the Yuan Family?"
Yan Qingge shook her head helplessly, "Even if I could, it wouldn’t help. They won’t negotiate."
A grudge for killing a son can’t be forgiven, even for ordinary people. Let alone for Yuan Ansheng.
Gao Xuan publicly killed Yuan Hao, making a big scene. The Yuan Family this time would stop at nothing to kill Gao Xuan. There was no room for any personal favor.
Wei Yue also understood this reality, their status was insufficient, and they had no right to press the Yuan Family for peace.
"Qingge, since there’s no room for negotiation, see if there’s any route out of here. First, get Gao Xuan out."
Yan Qingge looked troubled; she really didn’t want to get involved but had no way to refuse.
Moreover, she could tell Wei Yue had something to discuss with Gao Xuan. This was her signal to hurry along.
After Yan Qingge left, only Wei Yue, Gao Xuan, and Yun Qingshang remained in the room.
Wei Yue spoke seriously, "Gao Xuan, you saved me once, and I’ll repay you once."
Gao Xuan asked curiously, "President Wei, what do you have in mind?"
"I don’t have a way, but I can find someone to help."
Indeed, Wei Yue had no way to deal with the Yuan Family, but she knew Blood Shadow was rumored to be in Zhongjing. She was willing to contact Blood Shadow once for Gao Xuan.
If Blood Shadow was willing to help, there could always be a way to preserve Gao Xuan’s life.
As for the favor owed to Blood Shadow, she didn’t worry since there were already many.
Wei Yue contacted Blood Shadow through the Dark Web, "Mr. Blood Shadow, I have an urgent matter..."
She kept the message as succinct as possible and explained the situation, finally requesting Blood Shadow’s help for Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan immediately received a message from Wei Yue. Fortunately, he could access electronic network information through the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. Otherwise, it would’ve been a bit tricky.
To be honest, Gao Xuan was genuinely surprised by Wei Yue’s loyalty.
This was no small matter. A slight mishap, and Wei Yue could lose everything, even her life.
Truly a good comrade, not in vain that I helped you!
Gao Xuan sighed inwardly, using the Six-winged Celestial Cicada to reply to Wei Yue, "This is a great opportunity to assert dominance. You make a strong stand for Gao Xuan, and leave the rest to me."
Wei Yue was stunned upon receiving the reply. What was going on? What was Blood Shadow planning?
She originally intended for Blood Shadow to take Gao Xuan away and then send him off Pegasus Star.
With Blood Shadow’s abilities and channels, achieving that should’ve been easy.
Now, Blood Shadow was asking her to confront the Yuan Family strongly. This was absurd.
To say nothing of anything else, the mere vastness of the Yuan Family’s influence was beyond her reach.
If the Yuanlong Group was a wolf and the Yan Family a tiger, then the Yuan Family was a herd of Tyrannosaurus. The levels were vastly different.
For thousands of years, several Chief Governors of Pegasus Star had been from the Yuan Family. Even though the current Chief Governor’s surname isn’t Yuan, his wife’s surname is Yuan.
This illustrates the enormous influence of the Yuan Family.
In politics, economics, military, including private armed forces, the Yuan Family crushes both the Yuanlong Group and the Yan Family.
The Yuan Family’s influence even extends across the four continents, with unfathomable potential.
They had no chance at all against such a Noble Family.
Wei Yue was filled with doubt about Blood Shadow’s proposal! Was he bored of playing and intending to use the Yuan Family’s hand to eliminate them?
