Gu Yueqing studied Su Yingxia, then suddenly stood up and said, "I will not accept her as a disciple!"
Su Yingxia's heart sank, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
But then she heard Gu Yueqing continue, "I will take her to the sect master, and have the sect master take her as a disciple. I'll put aside my face and connections within the sect, and spare no effort to cultivate her!"
"Good!"
Gongsun Zhuowu nodded and said, "Whatever is needed in the mortal world, my Gongsun family will provide and cooperate fully!"
Having made the decision, Gu Yueqing's expression relaxed.
She walked to the coffin, bent over, and gently caressed the face of the person within. Memories flooded her mind.
After a long while, she reluctantly released her hand.
Tears trickled down her face, and she whispered, "Zheng Ge, if there is a next life, Yueqing will marry you!"
Once her tears dried, she turned away without looking back, taking Su Yingxia's hand and walking out of the main hall.
They entered the quiet room next door. Gu Yueqing gazed at Su Yingxia and said word by word, "Su Yingxia, tell me, as long as you achieve mastery, you will definitely kill Chen Fan, won't you?"
Su Yingxia nodded heavily. She wished for Chen Fan's death more than anyone.
"Swear to me!" Gu Yueqing commanded sternly.
Su Yingxia did not hesitate and immediately swore, "I, Su Yingxia, hereby swear that if I do not slay Chen Fan in this life, may I die with my eyes wide open!"
"Good!"
Gu Yueqing nodded fiercely. "I will send you to the sect and use all means and connections to ensure you receive the sect master's true teachings!"
...
Su Family Old Residence.
A convoy of military vehicles sped towards the property.
From the vehicles, special forces personnel, as fierce as wolves, leaped out and surrounded the main gate.
The entire Su family was alerted and stunned when they came out to see.
"You... Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
"What do you want?"
Xiang Jingzhu's military boots struck the ground with crisp footsteps, exuding an imposing aura.
Her subordinates presented their credentials and stated sternly, "Su Yuhua, the third son of the Su family, colluded with foreign forces and created a terrorist incident at the Broken Bridge of West Lake last night, resulting in a major casualty of 108 dead and 27 injured!"
"The Broken Bridge incident is now under the purview of our department, and we are here to apprehend and investigate Su Yuhua!"
"He is a member of your Su family. We now request all members of your Su family to cooperate with the investigation to determine if you participated in Su Yuhua's actions and how closely you are related to him!"
The stern words entered the ears of the Su family members.
At once, the Su family was in an uproar.
They knew Su Yuhua might be in trouble, but they never expected it to be something like this.
Over a hundred deaths?
This was too serious and terrifying; it must have reached the highest levels!
Some of the younger members of the Su family's first reaction was disbelief.
"How could this happen? Uncle San actually created a terrorist incident? That's impossible, right?"
"Exactly, what is Uncle San's status? How rich is he? How could he possibly do this?"
"What evidence do you have?"
"Could there be a mistake? My Yuhua is an internationally renowned entrepreneur and the chairman of the Two Rivers Chamber of Commerce. You must have made a mistake!"
...
"Take them all away!"
Xiang Jingzhu did not listen to their explanations and gave the order directly.
The special forces personnel roughly and swiftly subdued each member of the Su family and prepared to take them away.
"I'm not going, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go..."
"Mom, save me, don't let them take us away!"
"Damn Su Yuhua, wasn't he a big boss? Didn't he have billions? How could he do such a terrifying thing and drag us down with him?"
"..."
The Su family members resisted and struggled. Having experienced similar situations before, none of them wanted to go through it again.
But in the face of the fierce special forces, their resistance and struggle were futile. The more they resisted, the more they suffered.
"What's going on?"
An aged voice sounded.
Old Madam Su, leaning on her cane, came out, looking both shocked and furious.
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
The Su family members pinned their hopes on Old Madam Su and spoke in a flurry of words.
Looking at the frail Old Madam Su, Xiang Jingzhu raised an eyebrow and signaled her subordinate to produce the documents.
"Impossible, my Yuhua could not have done such a thing!"
Old Madam Su also refused to believe it.
Xiang Jingzhu, this time, maintained her patience and said, "Old Madam, the evidence in this matter is conclusive! We are merely summoning you for questioning. Please cooperate with the investigation. Su Yuhua is Su Yuhua, and you are you!"
"As long as you did not participate in Su Yuhua's criminal activities, you will be fine!"
"I want to see the evidence!" the old lady gritted out. "Otherwise, no matter what department you are from, I would rather smash my head against the door than be arrested by your officials."
Her thinking, as an eighty-year-old woman, was completely different from people today. Even being summoned was something she did not want to accept.
"Old Madam, we will not wrongly accuse any good person..."
Considering Old Madam Su's advanced age, Xiang Jingzhu did not want to embarrass her.
"I don't care, I want to see the evidence!" Old Madam Su said angrily. "My third son is a major entrepreneur, the CEO of Yuhua Group. How could he be involved in such a heinous crime?"
Looking at the stubborn Old Madam Su, Xiang Jingzhu frowned.
But the old lady was truly very old, and if something unfortunate were to happen, she would truly regret it.
She signaled her subordinate.
A transcript was handed to Old Madam Su.
The Su family members crowded around to look, and all were greatly alarmed.
The transcript clearly stated that Yuan Liangping hired assassins to kill Chen Fan and steal the Dragon Patterned Compass.
Yuan Liangping hired people from the underworld in Jiangbei, and a large quantity of firearms was provided by Su Yuhua.
Furthermore, according to Yuan Liangping's confession, Su Yuhua also had a group of professional killers by his side!
Su Yuhua's objective was to kill Chen Fan and obtain the Dragon Patterned Compass.
At that moment, Old Madam Su's body swayed, and she fell backward.
The Su family members quickly supported her.
Xiang Jingzhu gave a wry smile and said, "Take the old lady back to her room to rest. Leave some people behind. Those of you in the Su family who are more closely related to Su Yuhua, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation!"
The Su family had nothing more to say and over half of them were taken away.
The remaining members were ordered not to leave, and Xiang Jingzhu left a squad to guard them.
Old Madam Su, who had been sent back to her room, opened her eyes and felt dizzy. She seemed to have aged several years.
"Mom, I never thought Su Yuhua would do something so serious!"
Su Yufang cursed, "Why is he causing such trouble every time he comes back?"
"Exactly, he didn't bring us much benefit, but instead dragged us down!"
Mother Su grumbled angrily.
"How is this related to Chen Fan? What is this Dragon Patterned Compass? Is it worth Yuhua being so focused on it?"
Old Madam Su was annoyed by the news.
However, she did know about the Dragon Patterned Compass.
She recalled that on the first day Su Yuhua returned, he had asked where the remaining Dragon Patterned Compass had gone!
At the time, she hadn't paid much attention, but now it seemed that this item was undoubtedly very important.
Most of the male members of the Su family had been taken away to cooperate with the investigation, leaving behind a group of women who chattered incessantly.
"All of you, shut up! I ask you, is Chen Fan dead?"
Old Madam Su scoldded.
Su Yufang and the others exchanged glances.
"That jinx, it's best if he's dead!"
"It's all his fault that Yuhua took such a risk!"
"This scoundrel, he won't rest until he has ruined our Su family!"
"..."
Old Madam Su also hated Chen Fan immensely, but now she was more concerned about whether those Dragon Patterned Compasses had fallen into Chen Fan's hands.
After all, she couldn't have been unaware that Chen Fan was Mr. Long.
Thinking that Su Yingxia had actually abandoned such a man and remarried the good-for-nothing Jiang Shaolong, she had been filled with indignation these past few days.
She sat up in bed and snapped, "All of you get out! Yufang, go and tell those people at the door that I want to see Chen Fan!"
The women of the Su family were all taken aback.
