Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Lifesaving Medicinal Pill_1

“Captain Xiao Bai, something big has happened.”

As soon as the connection was made, Lu Chenbing got straight to the point.

“Director Lu, it’s me, Qian Zongsheng.”

But it was not Xiao Bai who answered him; instead, it was Qian Zongsheng, the head of the Flame Dragon Organization in Longhu Province: “I’ve heard about the situation and am bringing people over now, rest assured.”

Realizing that Qian Zongsheng was also in Zhonghai City, Lu Chenbing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Honestly, Captain Xiao Bai was capable of handling general affairs, but when faced with such rampant ancient martial artists, he ultimately couldn’t hold the line, and things could go wrong, possibly costing him his life.

With Qian Zongsheng stepping in, Lu Chenbing could breathe a little easier.

After all, an ancient martial artist who could become a department head must be very strong.

“Minister Qian? That’s great. If Minister Qian handles this, then it won’t be so difficult. Our Zhonghai Public Security Bureau will cooperate with your operations at any time, rest assured,” Lu Chenbing declared forcefully.

Lu Chenbing had adopted a subordinate stance from the start.

Because he knew that Minister Qian was not only half a rank above him, but he also specialized in handling cases involving ancient martial artists.

Therefore, he immediately followed Qian’s lead, clearly expressing his willingness to cooperate fully.

“Director Lu has a grasp of the bigger picture, thank you. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. We are now heading to the crime scene. Your men are responsible for maintaining order at the scene and accessing the surveillance, providing us with real-time updates on the whereabouts of those people,”

Qian Zongsheng, too, was seething with anger. After speaking, he barked, “The audacity to commit murder in broad daylight, it’s utterly lawless.”

“Alright, I’m on it,” Lu Chenbing promptly responded.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Zongsheng sat in the car with a face as dark as water, urging, “We’re not moving fast enough.”

“I’m stepping on it,” the driver replied gravely, pressing the accelerator, pushing the speed over one hundred.

Only then did Qian Zongsheng’s anxiety begin to ease somewhat, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.

Upon hearing about the incident, Qian Zongsheng, who was enraged beyond measure, was also extremely worried.

Though his contact with Xu Fan was limited, he had an astute judgment of character and knew Xu Fan valued loyalty. Not to mention that the person involved this time was his woman, which was like stepping on his tail.

Compared to the sordid deed Xu Qiyin attempted last time, which also targeted Xu Yixue, Xu Fan was already unable to contain his anger even before the event transpired, which directly led to the incident at Jun Tian Grand Hotel.

This time those people had gone too far, not only committing murder but also forcibly abducting Xu Yixue.

Qian Zongsheng could hardly imagine how furious Xu Fan must be feeling at the moment.

A man’s rage can lead to murder and arson.

The wrath of the strong leaves both gods in worry and ghosts in lament.

He hoped the situation would be confined to the ancient martial artists and wouldn’t harm ordinary people.

Sitting beside Qian Zongsheng was a gray-robed old man, resting with his eyes closed, his face covered in wrinkles and expressionless, seemingly well into his sixties.

But curiously, the old man was full of vigor, like an elderly lion, startlingly powerful when in motion.

Since receiving a tip off from Xu Fan, which led to the capture of Hailong, an executor of the Black Blade Organization, Qian Zongsheng, through interrogation, had obtained some critical intel. He learned that the Black Blade Organization was planning a major operation in Zhonghai City soon.

Therefore, he immediately submitted a report to headquarters requesting assistance.

The gray-robed old man beside him was one of the first batch of reinforcements sent by the organization, undoubtedly of formidable strength.

Among this first group of helpers, besides the gray-robed old man, there were four others whose strengths were also not to be underestimated, starting at least at the later stages of a grandmaster.

At this moment, their group, totaling three vehicles, consisted of Xiao Bai, Jin Gang, and Fei Ying in one car, with another being occupied by the companions of the gray-robed old man.

Upon arriving at the scene on Flame Road, the gray-robed old man showed no reaction, continuing to keep his eyes shut and meditating as if he were a monk in deep contemplation.

As for Minister Qian Zongsheng and the others, they exited the vehicles. Having notified the authorities in advance, they passed smoothly through the police blockade and entered the cordoned-off area.

One look at the scene and Minister Qian Zongsheng’s eyelids twitched. The situation was more gruesome than he had expected, and sensing the Ancient Martial Artist’s aura lingering in the air, he determined that the culprit’s skills were at least of a Grandmaster’s late stage, if not of a fully accomplished Grandmaster.

The ambulance had already arrived one step ahead and was lifting the three injured—Ye Xiaoning, Xu Dan, and Ben Ben—into the vehicle, preparing to rush them to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Ye Xiaoning had actually only been knocked unconscious and wasn’t seriously hurt, while Xu Dan and Ben Ben were the ones critically injured, clinging to their last breaths and almost ready to die at any moment.

“Hold on a second,”

said Minister Qian Zongsheng, eyeing the stretcher carrying Xu Dan, suddenly calling out to the staff.

He then flicked his finger, producing a small vial from his Storage Ring, poured out six crimson medicinal pills, and administered three to Xu Dan with water. Then, he moved to Ben Ben’s stretcher and fed him the remaining three.

These crimson medicinal pills were special healing medicine provided by the Flame Dragon Organization for its members, and they were highly effective and difficult to purchase from the outside world.@@novelbin@@

Therefore, those with a higher number of Merit Points generally exchanged for a few, as they were essential lifesavers.

Minister Qian Zongsheng saw at a glance that Xu Dan and Ben Ben’s vital signs had nearly vanished, and they were at death’s door. It was not just about saving them; even making it to the hospital would be challenging.

Thus, he decisively administered the medicine, three at once, hoping to buy a little more time for their lives.

Indeed, it was the several pills he fed them that snatched Xu Dan and Ben Ben back from the gates of King Yama.

…

At the same time,

Lu Chenbing’s subordinate, Yingzi, drove to find Xu Fan.

Xu Fan nodded at her and then opened the rear car door, picked up Tongtong, and softly said, “Tongtong, Daddy has some things to take care of right now. Can you play with this policewoman for a bit? Daddy promises to come back very soon.”

“Hmm… Where’s Mommy? Tongtong wants Mommy to play with me. Auntie Xiao Ning, Auntie Shi Yu, and Ben Ben can too,” Tongtong said reluctantly with a pout.

“Be good, Tongtong.” Hearing Tongtong mention them caused Xu Fan’s face to tense, and anger swelled in his chest. However, on the surface, he remained calm and gently reassured, “Mommy and the others have some urgent matters to deal with, and Daddy needs to help too. Let this policewoman take care of you for now, and soon, both Mommy and I will come to pick you up.”

“Hmm… I understand,” Tongtong obediently nodded.

“Yingzi, this is now your responsibility, please take care of it,” Xu Fan said as he placed Tongtong in Yingzi’s arms.

“I’ll definitely take good care of Tongtong. You can count on me,” Yingzi quickly agreed, understanding the seriousness of the situation and recognizing the weight of her task, she promised with a solemn expression.

Xu Fan nodded, returned to the car, and started the engine.

With a childish wave of her hand, Tongtong called out, “Daddy, Tongtong will wait for you and Mommy to come back together, okay?”

Feeling a twinge in his nose, Xu Fan forced a smile and looked back, “Don’t worry, as long as Tongtong is good, Mommy and I will definitely come back as soon as we can.”

“Tongtong will be really good,” Tongtong eagerly promised.

However, Xu Fan’s car had already hit the road. Without Tongtong by his side, the rage Xu Fan had been suppressing erupted entirely, filling the car with a frightening chill.

“Beep beep.”

His phone in his pocket vibrated twice. Xu Fan pulled it out to see a text from Lu Chenbing, giving him a location—the exact location of the culprit’s Maybach.

Xu Fan’s eyes narrowed, his foot pressed down, and the car rapidly accelerated.
