At Zuo Shandiao's command, his men immediately broke through the obstruction of the disciples and roared towards the ward.
Meanwhile, Shen Manshu, who was in the ward, had already noticed the commotion outside and was hiding in a corner with Xiao Huan, trembling with fear.
Bang!
The door opened, and several burly men rushed in.
Xiao Huan rushed forward with a mop, only to be kicked away by a big man and knocked unconscious.
"Xiao Huan!!"
"What are you doing! Let me go! Let me go!!"
No matter how much Shen Manshu struggled, she could never escape these burly men.
Before long, they were stuffed into a sack, carried away, and ran off.
"Brother Gousheng, we succeeded!"
"Great! Hahaha!"
Zuo Shandiao suddenly burst into laughter, using all his strength to force Li Chao back, and then quickly led his men to retreat.
"Oh no! Chase them!"
Li Chao immediately led his men to give chase.
Just as they arrived outside, a handsome man and his entourage also arrived.
Li Chao's face lit up with joy. "General Feng Jiu, these people have kidnapped Miss Shen. Please act quickly!"
"What?"
Feng Jiu's expression changed, and a murderous aura surged from her body.
Zuo Shandiao's breath hitched, and he instantly sensed that this was actually a martial arts grandmaster!
Even if he had applied talismans, he wouldn't dare say he was a match for a martial arts master.
At this critical moment, he suddenly pulled a pipe from his pocket and blew on it hard.
Waaaaah!
Instantly, plumes of black smoke billowed wildly from the pipe, turning the surroundings into a dark and gloomy place in the blink of an eye, with gusts of dark wind blowing, as if it were the end of the world.
"Hmph! Playing tricks!"
Feng Jiu fanned away the black mist with her hand and rushed forward, but when she got close, she found that Zuo Shandiao and the others had already disappeared.
Feng Jiu's handsome face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Damn it! It was a magic artifact! They got away!"
...
Outside the First Affiliated Hospital, inside an Alphard minivan.
One of his men excitedly dialed Shen Shichang's number.
"Hey! Sir, it seems we don't even need to lift a finger. Shen Manshu is probably in grave danger this time!"
His subordinates immediately reported what had just happened at the hospital to Shen Shichang.
Shen Shichang had been looking for an opportunity to target Shen Manshu, and even spent a staggering 100 million to hire the drunkard Zhu Gang.
Unexpectedly, it still ended in failure.
He then realized that there must be a master by Shen Manshu's side!
He didn't know Zhu Gang's current situation, whether he was dead or alive, or whether he would implicate him, so he had been living in constant fear and had his men keep a close watch on the hospital.
If there is any disturbance, you must report it to him immediately.
Unexpectedly, we received such good news!
"Really? You saw Shen Manshu being kidnapped with your own eyes?" Shen Shichang's voice trembled with excitement.
The subordinate said with certainty, "Sir, it's true! Absolutely true. The entire Shen family is in chaos, and they still don't know who did it!"
"To be able to successfully kidnap Shen Manshu under such heavy protection, the power behind these people is definitely not simple. Sir, it seems that you are really going to ascend to the throne of Marquis this time!"
Shen Shichang's heart pounded with excitement, but he calmed down and took a deep breath, saying, "Don't rush to celebrate. Continue to keep an eye on things and order our people not to make any rash moves, lest we give others a handle to use against us. As long as we get through this period and confirm that Shen Manshu has really disappeared, it won't be too late for me to go to the capital to make arrangements!"
"Yes, sir!" the subordinate replied respectfully.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Shichang slowly lay back in the rocking chair, the sound of a two-person folk opera coming from the radio.
He tapped rhythmically on the armrest, a contented and smug expression on his face. "Shen Shi'en, we both have the surname Shen, so it doesn't matter who becomes the Marquis, does it? It seems even the heavens are on my side. This is what you call destiny, hahahaha!"
Just as Shen Shichang was fantasizing that he was about to ascend to the throne of Marquis.
Lin Yu has received the news and arrived at the First Affiliated Hospital.
"Master, it was our negligence in protecting Miss Shen that led to her being kidnapped. Please punish us!"
thump!
Upon seeing Lin Yu, Li Chao immediately knelt on the ground, clenching his fists tightly, his face filled with remorse.
The other disciples also looked dejected.
This was the first time the advisor had given them a task, and they had messed it up. They were truly ashamed to face the advisor.
Lin Yu shook his head. "I've heard everything from Feng Jiu. The other party had a magical artifact, and even he, a martial arts grandmaster, couldn't stop them, let alone you. This isn't your fault. Get up!"
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Li Chao and the others felt better and stood up.
Then, Lin Yu went to the place where Shen Manshu last disappeared.
Feng Jiu stepped forward and carefully described the scene.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyebrows shot up sharply.
"A tobacco pipe?"
"This magical artifact is quite unique!" Lin Yu stroked his chin and analyzed it carefully.
Tobacco pipes are a specialty of Northeast China, so it seems that the people who kidnapped Shen Manshu were local forces.
Feng Jiu said with a bitter face, "Young Marshal, I have already had someone investigate, and I have never heard of anyone in the Northeast martial arts world using this pipe!"
Lin Yu nodded, took two steps forward, stood in the center, and closed his eyes slightly.
After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them.
"Young Marshal, what did you sense?" Feng Jiu couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yu's eyes were grave as he said, "This trouble is really serious. No wonder you can't find out, because the one behind it isn't a person!"
"Non-human?" Feng Jiu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's right! Do you remember Zhu Gang from before?"
Feng Jiu was slightly taken aback. "You mean, this time, it was also that Second Master Huang who sent people?"
Lin Yu nodded again and said, "Most likely. These non-humans are extremely vengeful. Last time I killed his godson, he held a grudge, so this time he sent his shaman disciples to kidnap Miss Shen, with the aim of luring me there to seek revenge!"
At this point, Lin Yu felt relieved.
Knowing that the other party's target was herself meant that Shen Manshu was safe for the time being, so there was no need to worry too much.
Feng Jiu's expression, however, was not good.
"These inhumans are simply too arrogant! How dare they wreak havoc on the human world? Why didn't we wipe out these beasts when we eliminated the Four Pests back then!" Feng Jiu said irritably.
Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "Don't you even know where this place is! I once heard the old blind man say that Changbai Mountain is the only living dragon vein in the Nine Provinces, with its dragon energy flowing endlessly, which is why it can nurture these non-human beings! Once you leave Shanhaiguan, you probably won't find a place with such strong demonic energy!"
“Even Liu Bowen, who was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to cut off the dragon vein back then, was refused entry outside the pass and dared not take a step forward! This shows how special the Changbai dragon vein is!” Lin Yu said with a glint in his eyes.
