Chapter 516 Resolving the Crisis 1
Gu Yanqi walked up to Fu Zhi and asked, "How is Nan Li?"
"The heart is damaged and the wound is infected," Fu Zhi used scissors to cut open Li Nanli's shirt. "In my medicine box, dissolve the white pills in water and feed them to him. Crush the red pills for me. You must take out the metal pieces."
"good."
Gu Yanqi opened the medicine box. Behind him, several secret guards looked at each other. Finally, Xiang Qian stared at Fu Zhi coldly, as if he was looking at some mutated virus.
Disgusted and nervous, "What medicine are you going to give our President Li?"
Fu Zhi kept moving his hands. He took the time to glance at him and said in a cold tone, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
How come this has nothing to do with him?
Xiang Qian was so angry at her attitude that he laughed, "You don't even have the name of the medicine, and you only use a small plastic bottle to put the medicine in. You give it to our CEO Li. Is it a three-no product or poison? I tell you, Fu Zhi, if our CEO Li gets into trouble, don't even think about walking out of here alive!"
"Xiang Qian!" Liu Mi was tired, but at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't want to quarrel.
"Three or five products, poison?"
Fu Zhi's eyebrows were very light, and his pupils were clear and cold. He spoke word by word, "Do you know how expensive my medicine is?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Xiang Qian was helped by Yu Sheng, but he still refused to accept it and threatened Fu Zhi, "You just need to know that if anything happens to Mr. Li, you won't be able to survive. It's that simple!"
Inside the house, the situation was tense with swords drawn.
Gu Yanqi was concentrating on feeding Li Nanli the medicine as Fu Zhi had instructed.
The white pills were dispersed in water and fed into the man's body. At the same time, the metal porcelain pieces were taken out, red powder was sprinkled on the wound, and then it was wrapped with gauze twice.
Gu Yanqi changed Li Nanli's clothes. While doing so, Fu Zhi unexpectedly saw a scar on Li Nanli's shoulder, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
In just over half an hour, the bloodstains on the gauze stopped spreading visibly.
Xiang Qian and Yu Sheng were not sure whether it was Fu Zhi's medicine that worked.
The secret guard who had been taking care of Li Nanli came forward and felt Li Nanli's pulse.
"The pulse is long and not as disordered as before. The medicine should be taking effect. As long as the wound is not infected, it is considered to be through the critical period. It will take some time to rest."
The man reported in the direction of Liu Mi and his group.
Hearing that Li Nanli was not seriously injured, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Miss Fu!" Liu Mi nodded sincerely in the direction of Fu Zhi.
Although the secret guards present did not say anything, their eyes and attitudes towards Fu Zhi changed slightly, and they all thanked Fu Zhi.
Only Xiang Qian was left, grateful for what he had, but it was worthless in the face of so-called vigilance.
Li Nanli's condition had improved, so Liu Mi could now think about breaking out. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Gu Yanqi and said, "Mr. Gu, what's the situation outside?"
"It's not optimistic. When Fu Zhi and I went up the mountain, we only met Mark, the branch leader of the Ghost Shadow Hall. From what I heard from him and his men, everyone in the hall should have been dispatched."
Gu Yanqi described in detail what happened when he and Fu Zhi went up the mountain. "The Ghost Shadow Hall came prepared. They wanted to capture someone alive. I guess it's not just the Zheng family that supports the Ghost Shadow Hall, there are other forces as well. There is no room for maneuver in this matter."
Everyone's expression changed.
Just as the group was discussing countermeasures, suddenly a bright fire appeared outside the window again.
Jiang Yuan rushed in from outside the house, "Oh no! The Ghost Shadow Hall has threatened us to hand over President Li. They only give us half an hour to consider, otherwise they will force an attack!"
"These bastards are really going too far!" Xiang Qian punched the wall, filled with anger.
An older secret guard looked at Gu Yanqi, "What should we do now, Master Gu?"
Li Nanli's condition had just been brought under control, and everyone in the hut was in a panic. Everyone put the decision-making power in Gu Yanqi's hands.
It was certainly impossible to hand over the people, but they stayed in the house and could not move. After half an hour, they were controlled by the other party, and slaughter was inevitable.
Gu Yanqi licked his lips, pondered for a moment, and made a decision. He looked at Fu Zhi who was not far away, "What they want is Li Nanli and the secret guards. I can negotiate with them and pretend to agree to send Li Nanli over, on the condition that I send you down the mountain."
Xiang Qian's face instantly turned pale when he heard this. "Why? Negotiations are so dangerous, why should we use President Li's safety in exchange for this woman's safe descent?!"
"Yes, what if the negotiations fail, something goes wrong, or they make other demands on the spot, or even ask us to carry President Li out before Fu Zhi can go down the mountain? Facing the many masters and equipment of the Ghost Shadow Hall, we have no ability to fight at all. Without the hut to block us, it will be easy for them to snatch people away."
"Let's wait a little longer. What if the team that helps us arrives? I don't support using President Li's safety to exchange for Miss Fu's coming down the mountain."
Since its establishment, the secret guard team has been dedicated to protecting Li Nanli's rights and interests and ensuring Li Nanli's safety. No one wants to put Li Nanli in danger.
In particular, Li Nanli's safety was exchanged for Fu Zhi's descent from the mountain.
They still cared. If Fu Zhi hadn't mentioned in the morning that Mr. Zheng was seriously ill and Li Nanli hadn't transferred Jiang Jinshu's team away, perhaps the situation wouldn't have been so bad.
"But don't forget," Liu Mi said, "Miss Fu had nothing to do with this matter. She got involved because of President Li."
"That's right, Yu Sheng, you and Jiang Yuan will accompany Fu Zhi down the mountain. If the Ghost Shadow Hall goes back on its word, you must ensure her safety."
Gu Yanqi knew very well that Fu Zhi didn't owe them anything. Even if Jiang Jinshu came to the banquet with them, they would just die together as they were surrounded by all the people from the Ghost Shadow Hall.
At this time, Gu Yanqi was even grateful for Fu Zhi's persistence. Regardless of whether Mr. Zheng was sick or not, Jiang Jinshu was transferred away and saved his life.
"I'm not going!" Yu Sheng and Jiang Yuan said in unison.
"We won't do anything to get away with it. Our only duty is to protect President Li. If Miss Fu wants to leave, let her go alone. We will stand together with the Dark Guards, sharing the hardships, life and death together!"
"That's right, Mr. Gu, you should let someone else take care of Miss Fu! At a time like this, if I leave, will I still be a human being?"
Gu Yanqi's voice was unquestionably serious: "This is an order! Are you two going to disobey? Protecting President Li is important, but so is Miss Fu! In short, your mission is to escort Miss Fu down the mountain! Protect her like you would President Li! Besides, even if the two of you stay, it won't change the situation!"
Yu Sheng and Jiang Yuan were both furious, but they couldn't continue to refute.
Fu Zhi not only saved Li Nanli, but also Gu Yanqi.
Moreover, as Gu Yanqi said, Yu Sheng and Jiang Yuan are of no use in reversing the situation.
The wind was howling in the thatched cottage, cold and biting.
Fu Zhi's gaze began to shift away from Li Nanli and looked towards the endless darkness behind the mountain.
"Fu Zhi," time was urgent, Gu Yanqi put on a coat and said to the girl, "Let's go, I'll take you to the negotiation. You have to go down the mountain, otherwise in half an hour, no one will know what kind of occasion it is. Nan Li also hopes that you will survive."
Everyone's eyes were on Fu Zhi.
Even though they already knew the answer, they were still wondering whether Fu Zhi would stay.
After all, in this situation, they selfishly didn't want President Li to be put in danger because of Fu Zhi.
Of course, the fact that Fu Zhi could come to find Li Nanli is something that some people simply cannot do.
Fu Zhi glanced at Li Nanli and said, "I really want to live."
Xiang Qian sneered and looked at Fu Zhi with contempt.
Why did you run up the mountain regardless of your life? And what are you doing now?
It's not that I'm afraid and regretful.
Fortunately, President Li trusted her so much that he changed his plan for her, but what about her?
As soon as there is a chance to survive, he can easily give up Mr. Li.
The mockery on Xiang Qian's face became more and more intense.
The other secret guards around him were all adult men, and they did not show much fluctuation. At least on the surface they looked calm and knew how to hide their dissatisfaction.
Gu Yanqi thought this was normal. Who doesn’t want to live in this world?
Who is willing to die?
Besides, he believed that Li Nanli would rather die than let Fu Zhi come to any harm.
Gu Yanqi took out a coat from his backpack and handed it to Fu Zhi, "Let's go."
Fu Zhi didn't answer.
Gu Yanqi looked at her with some confusion, "What?"
Fu Zhi pointed at Li Nanli and said, "I'll go with him."
"Heh." Xiang Qian, who was not far away, sneered, as if mocking Fu Zhi's hypocrisy, "The Ghost Shadow Hall's move this time is clearly for President Li. Miss Fu is so smart, she must know that you can't get away with President Li, right?
Since you have said that you want to live, don't talk about taking Mr. Li with you to show your deep affection. Anyway, we can't survive. No one will make your indifference known to the world! ”
After a pause, he continued, "Who knows, in a few years, Miss Fu may have another boyfriend and she will thank you for your decision to run away today."
"I've checked. We can go from the back mountain."
Fu Zhi ignored Xiang Qian who was going crazy at any time and discussed with Gu Yanqi: "Didn't you just go to investigate? There is no one guarding the back mountain, it is a blind spot, we can leave from the back mountain."
"Miss Fu Zhi, you don't know that there is no one guarding the back mountain, but it is a minefield!"
The entire mountain range behind Xiangyun Street used to be a training base for local troops. Because it is an abandoned and barren mountain, few people nearby would go up the mountain, so the minefield here has never been removed by the local troops.
The entire minefield covers a large area, and there are even yellow lines and signs to block ordinary local people and prohibit them from entering.
The mine clearance has been delayed until today, and the Ghost Shadow Hall has conducted an in-depth investigation. They know that without the help of sophisticated instruments, the Li family's secret guards cannot lead people out of the minefield.
