"Are you trying to rebel?" Just when they were in a dilemma, another car drove up, and two people got out, a young man and a middle-aged man.
"City Chief." Luo Nanshan looked at the newcomer as if he had seen a savior.
“I have a general understanding of what’s going on here,” said City Commander Li Demin. “Commander Mo, have your men put down their guns, and let’s go inside to talk.”
“Okay.” Mo Tai nodded, and the tense atmosphere disappeared as the group walked into the law enforcement bureau.
"You come too," Li Demin said as he passed Gu Yu.
The five people entered an office, where the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
“City Commander, their military region has gone too far,” Luo Nanshan said first.
"Alright," Li Demin said impatiently, "Let's leave it at that! You are not to hold Gu Yu accountable."
"Why?" Luo Nanshan asked, somewhat indignantly.
"Because he is a member of my Dragon Division." The young man who came with Li Deming said. He was Shi Shuai. After hearing about Gu Yu's accident, Mo Tai rushed over, and Shi Shuai went directly to Li Deming.
"Dragon Department?" Luo Nanshan frowned. Who exactly did that damned Deputy Captain Hu arrest? But he still stubbornly insisted, "City Chief, he killed my deputy captain. Even if it's the Dragon Department, they absolutely cannot kill law enforcement officers at will!"
"It seems Director Luo is determined to pursue this to the end?" Shi Shuai said coldly.
“This…” Luo Nanshan was speechless for a moment.
"I've made the decision on this matter. Let's pretend it never happened," Li Demin said. What a joke! He had received a call from a big shot in the Dragon Division today.
"Okay, I'll do as the city magistrate says." Luo Nanshan pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Alright, let’s do it this way!” Gu Yu suddenly spoke up as soon as Li Deming finished speaking.
"Just because you say it didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't happen."
Gu Yu's voice startled everyone present.
"What do you want to do? You're the one who committed murder and other crimes!" Luo Nanshan said unhappily.
“Murder? Heh…” Gu Yu sneered, “That’s because he deserves to die. He abused his power and coerced others into confessing. Is that what law enforcement officers should do? I was beaten up at school and was on the verge of death. I had just escaped danger when Deputy Captain Hu arrested me. Does that make sense? If it does, what crimes did my parents commit? Why were they beaten and even detained?”
"This..." The people present had no idea about these things. They only knew that Deputy Captain Hu had arrested Gu Yu, and Gu Yu had killed Deputy Captain Hu.
"If this is how you behave, then I will not accept it. Even if I am wanted, I will seek justice." Gu Yu's voice was icy cold, filled with killing intent. This matter could be let go, but it involved his parents, and he absolutely could not let it go.
"Luo Nanshan, what exactly happened?" Li Demin was taken aback when he heard Gu Yu's words, and then became somewhat annoyed.
"I...I..." Luo Nanshan didn't know how to answer, but his eyes darted around. "City Chief, this kid is talking nonsense. He's a high-level martial artist. How could he be ganged up on by students and be on the verge of death?"
“Yes, I was fine at first, but Elder Mo and Instructor Shi can testify that I was seriously injured when I killed the mutated leopard,” Gu Yu said.
“That’s right, Young Master Gu is right, I can testify to that.”
“I can also testify.”
Mo Tai and Shi Shuai spoke at the same time. Of course they knew that Gu Yu's injuries had long since healed, but at this moment they were both on Gu Yu's side.
"Gu Yu's slaying of the mutated leopard is a tremendous achievement for our Mo City. However, because this achievement cannot be made public for the time being, he has not only not been hailed as a hero by Mo City, but has also been treated in this way. It is truly disheartening." Mo Tai looked grief-stricken. "If this matter is left like this, who will be willing to sacrifice for Mo City in the future?"
"Investigate immediately. I need an explanation," Li Demin said.
Luo Nanshan had no choice but to scramble out and investigate. He had to give an explanation today, or his law enforcement bureau would be branded as an innocent hero.
"Young Master Gu, should you go to the hospital to treat your injuries?" Mo Tai asked Gu Yu, who was wearing bandages with blood seeping through them.
"I'm not going anywhere until this is resolved," Gu Yu said. He was determined to get justice for his parents today.
Why bother contacting his parents when Gu Yu can handle his affairs? If they knew this, why would Gu Yu have resorted to such a self-inflicted injury? Wasn't it all for his parents' sake?
A moment later, Luo Nanshan walked in dejectedly, and he understood everything at that moment.
"How's the investigation going?" Li Demin asked.
"City Commander, it was all because of that Deputy Captain Hu's reckless behavior..." Luo Nanshan recounted everything he had investigated, and also emphasized the injuries sustained by the other students when Gu Yu was attacked. "But since Deputy Captain Hu is already dead, I think we should just leave it at that!"
“No.” Gu Yu, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up. “I demand that the law enforcement officers who beat my parents be handed over.”
Thinking of his parents' injuries, Gu Yu could not suppress his anger. Even if Deputy Captain Hu was dead, there must have been other law enforcement officers who had done it, and Gu Yu did not intend to let any of them go.
“This…” Luo Nanshan looked at Gu Yu, and then at the others, but everyone else was silent, including Li Demin. He already knew what the others were thinking, and they simply agreed with Gu Yu’s statement.
"The people who hit your parents were not law enforcement officers, but the parents of the students you injured."
"Students' parents?" Gu Yu frowned. He had thought that the people who injured his parents were law enforcement officers, but he didn't expect them to be the students' parents.
“Very good, very good,” Gu Yu murmured.
"Young Master Gu, how about this?" Mo Tai thought for a moment and said, "All law enforcement officers involved in arresting you today will be dismissed, and an additional charge will be added: extortion."
When Li Demin realized that Deputy Captain Hu had arrested Gu Yu to extort his lottery winnings, he nodded in agreement.
"What about the parents?" Gu Yu asked.
"Those parents?" Li Demin and Luo Nanshan looked rather grim.
In their eyes, Gu Yu hit someone's son, and the injuries were quite severe, with one of them even becoming mute. It was understandable that the other party lost control of their emotions and resorted to violence when they saw Gu Yu's parents arrive.
"Do you think it's understandable that they got emotional and resorted to violence?" Gu Yu asked Li Demin and Luo Nanshan.
“If my son were beaten and hospitalized, I think I would also do something extreme,” Luo Nanshan said.
“Very good, very good.” Gu Yu suddenly clapped his hands. “My parents were beaten, and I was very emotional.”
As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, he exerted force with both hands, and the table in front of him was instantly torn apart, causing the expressions of the people present to change.
"Oh no, what are you saying now?" Li Demin glared at Luo Nanshan.
"Young Master Gu, don't get agitated." Mo Tai hurriedly pulled Gu Yu back. Who knew what Gu Yu might do? What if he went out and killed someone again? That would be troublesome.
"Here's what we'll do! Arrest all those parents, convict them of assault, and then make them compensate Gu Yu's parents," Shi Shuai said, seeing that the situation was not optimistic. "And those students, once they've recovered, arrest them all and send them to juvenile detention centers."
"Gu Yu, what do you think?" Shi Shuai asked, looking at Gu Yu. Gu Yu's expression didn't change, clearly indicating that he felt it wasn't enough. "Gu Yu, you feel sorry for your parents, and they feel sorry for their children. Their feelings are the same. Your parents worry about you, and their parents worry about them too. No matter what they do, it's because they're worried. I hope you can understand. After all, some things still need to be done according to the law."
"Never mind." Gu Yu pondered for a moment and then walked out of the office. No matter what, the parents are innocent. Shi Shuai was right about that. If the children could think more about their parents when they caused trouble, they wouldn't have caused trouble. There is a saying that is very true: "The hearts of parents are full of love and concern for their children."
However, some scores cannot be left unresolved. At the very least, the score with the school—in the end, it all stemmed from the school. If it weren't for Wang Bin, Lu Yao, and Guo Xiu's incident, Wu Sheng and his ilk wouldn't have provoked me.
As Gu Yu walked out of the Enforcement Bureau, he saw his parents, who were being protected by five Source Soldiers but still looked worried.
thump………
"Mom and Dad, your son is unfilial and has caused you worry."
"Erbao, we're alright," Gu Zhongyi said. "Are you alright?"
Today's events shocked the two of them. Although they had never been to school, they were not stupid.
The military region commander and the city magistrate had come for Gu Yu, and now seeing Gu Yu walk out unharmed, they were both surprised, worried, and of course, puzzled.
They had no idea when their son had become so capable, when he had met the city governor and the military commander, or when he had made five Black friends.
"I'm fine." Gu Yu shook his head. "Mom and Dad, let's go home."
At this moment, only Mo Tai, Li Demin, and Luo Nanshan remained in the office. After seeing Gu Yu leave, Shi Shuai also left.
“Old Mo, you’re already so old, why are you still so impulsive?” Li Demin looked at Mo Tai.
“Old Li, it’s not that I’m being impulsive, but do you know that there might be a hidden family behind Gu Yu? This means that there might be a hidden family in my Mo City.” Mo Tai said in a deep voice. The reason he dared to do this today was because he valued the family behind Gu Yu.
"A reclusive family?" Li Demin and Luo Nanshan frowned simultaneously.
"Impossible! His parents are just ordinary people!" Luo Nanshan said. If they were from a reclusive family, how could their parents be ordinary people? How could they let others beat and humiliate them without lifting a finger? This doesn't make sense. Even when Gu Yu and Xu Xiangqian were facing off, Gu Yu's parents didn't make a move.
“What’s impossible!” Mo Tai said. “Many people in hidden families are also unable to cultivate. Moreover, some hidden families send their descendants to grow up in ordinary families so that they can gain experience and make their own way in the world. There is a precedent in Mo City, Ma Li.”
Upon hearing Motai's words, Li Demin and Luo Nanshan both fell into deep thought.
“Besides, I personally witnessed Gu Yu having a servant who was comparable to a grandmaster, and the five who appeared today are probably also Gu Yu’s servants,” Mo Tai added.
"Five servants comparable to grandmasters?" Li Demin was somewhat shocked, as was Luo Nanshan. If they were friends, it wouldn't be a big deal, but they were servants! Servants comparable to grandmasters—aside from reclusive families and those sects that never appear in the world, no one could offer such a thing.
Most importantly, these five people, who are comparable to grandmasters, appeared suddenly, and their origins could not even be investigated, which proves that Gu Yu's identity is really not simple.
“Old Li, Old Luo, I think we both understand that if that day comes, with the resources of my Mo City, we will probably have no choice but to abandon the city. But if there is a reclusive family in my Mo City, then it will be different. At the very least, it will make the higher-ups reconsider,” Mo Tai said meaningfully.
“Old Mo, we understand what you’re thinking,” Li Demin said.
“I understand now. In the future, you should tell me about these things earlier. I almost offended him to death.” Luo Nanshan’s tone was somewhat reproachful towards Mo Tai. He didn’t tell me about such an important matter in advance.
"Sigh! I need a chance to speak too!" Motai sighed. "In the apocalypse, where should humanity go from here?"
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!" Li Demin said.
“No, I don’t want to accept fate. Human destiny should not be controlled by fate,” Motai retorted, and the three of them fell silent again.
Legend has it that Ge Village wasn't originally called Ge Village, but Longxiang (Dragon Village). This is because the mountain gully, village houses, and forests connected together, resembling a dragon when viewed from above. However, one year, a torrential rain caused a mudslide that destroyed the dragon-head-shaped gully, leaving it as a headless dragon. This was considered an ominous sign by the villagers, and most moved away. The houses fell into disrepair and collapsed over the years, and the dragon never returned. Later, someone renamed it Ge Village.
At this moment, Gu Yu and his parents had returned home. Looking at the familiar courtyard and earthen house, Gu Yu's eyes were filled with tears.
Hometown! In his previous life, after Gu Yu turned thirty, the apocalypse broke out, and he never returned. This place had been occupied by alien races, and there were no humans left.
He had considered fighting back, but his attempts all ended in failure.
After Zhang Cuiping entered, she poured several cups of tea and handed them to the five Yuan soldiers. However, the Yuan soldiers did not drink tea and did not speak to Zhang Cuiping.
“Erbao, they…” Zhang Cuiping was somewhat alarmed. She thought that these five people thought the tea was bad. The tea leaves of Gu Yu’s family were picked by Gu Zhongyi from wild tea trees in the mountain valley. No one knew what kind of tea it was.
"Ignore them," Gu Yu said.
“This…” Zhang Cuiping glanced at Gu Zhongyi beside her upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, but Gu Zhongyi was equally at a loss. After all, these were guests who had come to visit; if they were ignored, wouldn’t that be too much…
"You may leave!" Gu Yu ordered the five Origin Soldiers.
"Yes, Master," the five Source Soldiers said in unison, then left the room and stood guard at the door.
This made Gu Zhongyi and Zhang Cuiping even more bewildered. These five people did not look like Chinese, but Gu Zhongyi and Zhang Cuiping had witnessed the scene of the five people subduing a group of law enforcement officers in an instant. Although they did not know how to explain it, they felt that these five people might be special forces soldiers. However, such powerful people called their son "master" and seemed to obey their son's every word.
“Mom and Dad, there are some things I didn’t want to tell you for the time being,” Gu Yu said. “This world is not as simple as it seems. Many extraordinary things will happen in the future, and humanity may even become extinct as a result.”
Gu Zhongyi and Zhang Cuiping couldn't understand what Gu Yu was saying, but Gu Yu didn't need them to fully understand; he just needed them to know some of it.
"Mom and Dad, why did I become like this? Why do they listen to me? You don't need to worry about that. You just need to know that I am not an ordinary person, but a cultivator, just like in the TV shows," Gu Yu explained.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes today, seeing the five Yuan soldiers so obedient to Gu Yu, Gu Zhongyi and Zhang Cuiping would have suspected that their son might have mental problems.
After all, Gu Yu loved martial arts since he was a child, and he would practice his skills in the yard of his house every day with a stick.
Seeing the confused looks in his parents' eyes, Gu Yu stretched out his hand and a wisp of Origin Qi appeared. Gu Yu placed his hand on Gu Zhongyi's body.
Gu Zhongyi immediately felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and the injuries he had sustained from the beating were immediately relieved and began to heal quickly.
After injecting the source energy into Gu Zhongyi's body, Gu Yu took out another wisp of source energy and injected it into Zhang Cuiping's body in the same way.
The two men stared wide-eyed, even more bewildered, because they could feel that their injuries had healed, and even the pain from years of hard work had eased considerably.
"Mom and Dad, although you are too old to cultivate, it doesn't mean you can't cultivate. I will teach you how to cultivate." Gu Yu said to his bewildered parents. He knew that his words today would be difficult for them to understand and accept for the time being, but they would have to know sooner or later. Besides, his future father was going to get sick, and if his father started cultivating now, he could prevent the disease from getting worse.
“Erbao, although Dad can’t fully understand what you’re saying right now, Dad believes in you,” Gu Zhongyi said.
"Mom and Dad, I'll be buying a house in Mocheng in a few days. You won't have to live here anymore then," Gu Yu said, looking at the dilapidated house.
“Erbao, let’s talk about this later. Your dad and I are fine living here,” Zhang Cuiping said.
"Erbao, have you gotten any medicine for your injuries?" Gu Zhongyi asked, looking at Gu Yu who was wrapped in gauze. He was worried, especially since blood was showing through the gauze.
"Dad, I'm fine. No medicine can compare to what I just used on you." Gu Yu said, tearing off the gauze. The wound on his head had already scabbed over.
"Erbao, are you hungry? Mom will go make you some food." Zhang Cuiping suddenly remembered something, and Gu Yu realized that it was already past midnight! To be honest, Gu Yu was indeed a little hungry. Although Origin Qi could replace food to satisfy hunger, it was a very wasteful thing to do.
