Chapter 397 - He’s Dead?

As Gongyi Tianheng flipped through the thin dossier, he listened to Zhang Bohan’s explanation. Following this, he found out what he wanted to know.

Zhang Bohan said: “With regards to the person this sir wants to find, his information had been erased by another person’s subordinate, and any traces of their lives had been removed as well. The organization that erased this information is very powerful. What my Zhang Family could find is only news within the past eight years. It’s unknown where these two people came from, and their ident.i.ties are also unknown.”

Nevertheless, because they had an image of Gu Zuo’s appearance, they tapped into numerous school databases, and found a few clues. If it wasn’t for this, it might’ve been impossible for them to proceed.

Speaking up to here, Zhang Bohan’s expression was tinged with an almost indiscernible nervousness: “It’s just that, five years ago, that young man…already pa.s.sed away in a traffic accident.”

He didn’t know why Tianheng wanted to find this young man, but he only hoped that the other party wouldn’t go back on their deal or take out his anger on them due to this matter.

Contrary to expectations, Tianheng didn’t have any intentions of venting his anger. His fingers were swiftly turning the pages. In less than a minute, he read through all of the information.

There were no discrepancies between the contents within and what Zhang Bohan said. However, unlike the anxious Zhang Bohan, he was able to notice some things between the lines.

Eight years ago, they moved locations and erased their traces… This indicated that there was something about his little pharmacist’s past that couldn’t be made known to outsiders. As for the traffic accident five years ago — This reminded him of his first encounter with Gu Zuo.

However, according to the information, Gu Zuo had indeed been hit by a truck, and all that remained was a dead body. If Gu Zuo travelled to his world through the system’s actions, then what was going on with that dead body? Based on his current understanding, if a martial artist or pharmacist died, it was impossible to be resurrected. And since Gu Zuo was alive, that corpse naturally couldn’t have been the real Gu Zuo.

Yes, and if it wasn’t the real Gu Zuo, it was possible to simply make a similar replica of flesh and blood. At the time of the accident, everything happened too quickly. Who would suspect that the dead body was a fake one? It would’ve been easy for the system to come along, and steal a rafter only to replace it with a column.

Tianheng had several such trains of thought running through his mind.

His fingers slowly landed on a certain line of words on the last page — Written here was the current address of Gu Zuo’s sole living relative.

It was only a pity that the Zhang Family was based in Q City, and that address was stated to be in A City.

Tianheng laughed softly. His palm flipped over.

In an instant, a wisp of scorching power burst forth from the hollow of his palm. Although he neither showed the mountains nor revealed the rivers, Zhang Bohan and Zhang Huiguo suddenly sensed that the temperature inside the room had abruptly risen. Soon after, their complexions changed.

As it turned out, when the temperature increased to a certain degree, that thin stack of papers spontaneously combusted without any flames whatsoever! Moreover, in just a blink of an eye, it had been burned completely, leaving no ashes.

Zhang Bohan sucked in a cold breath: “This is a martial skill?”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “That’s right.”

Zhang Bohan clenched his fingers into fists: “Are the ones that this sir will teach me comparable to —”

Tianheng’s tone was low and unhurried: “If you so choose, this naturally can be counted among them.”

Zhang Bohan’s heart was filled with joy.

As for Zhang Huiguo, his old eyes slightly squinted. He gained a new understanding of Tianheng’s level of danger.

Fortunately, this person meant what he said.

It seemed that he really was a person of character.

As such, no matter what the cost, they needed to preserve this “friends.h.i.+p”!

— After the elder and younger leaders of the Zhang Family witnessed the power of Tianheng’s martial skill, the services provided in all aspects became even more thoughtful and considerate. Thus, when Tianheng mentioned that he wanted to pay a visit to A City, Zhang Huiguo took the initiative to speak up, and allowed Zhang Bohan accompany him. The family head also allocated a dozen or so bodyguards, and chartered a special plane to pick them up.

Tianheng himself could’ve circulated his profound qi to hasten the journey, but he chose not to for two reasons. Firstly, one had to follow the local customs when entering a village. And secondly, the special plane’s velocity was somewhat faster than his own top speeds. This way, he could save some strength.

As for the matter of Zhang Bohan and the bodyguards accompanying him, Tianheng didn’t have any intentions of refusing — He had often experienced similar shows of such extravagance.

Tianheng’s display of calm composure made Zhang Bohan guess about his ident.i.ty even more. This personage wasn’t from the Ancient Martial Artists a.s.sociation, but he couldn’t find any information about him at all, nor could he find any trace of his existence. W-wasn’t this just too strange? Merely, while the Zhang Family knew about such doubts, they would always be kept buried at the bottom of their hearts.

Under Zhang Bohan’s eager and expedient lead, Tianheng directly boarded an airplane at the back of the Zhang Family’s ancestral residence.

The distance between Q City and A City wasn’t considered too far. The plane was flown smoothly, so the total trip didn’t even reach an hour — After Tianheng closed his eyes for a short while, the plane landed without a hitch.

Soon after, Tianheng’s group headed toward the address he memorized.

In the past two days, Gu Qi and Gu Zuo held deep discussions on how they were going to utilize the Rejuvenation Pills, establish a network to find Zhao Ji’s whereabouts, and think of a way to save him.

The most important point among these things was that the two of them were just regular civilians. They didn’t have power or authority. Even though they had good things in their possession, they didn’t have any means to convince other people — To say nothing of building any routes for communication or trade.

As such, the top priority was how they were going to convince others.

Gu Qi was once a brilliantly-skilled doctor. The place where he used to work at had been a private hospital that specialized in treating high officials and n.o.ble persons. Although he had been “blacklisted” by someone, that period of job experience let him know about some channels.

As a result, he had a notion. If he found a reliable person from the contact details he previously obtained, and divulged a few things in that person’s presence, perhaps they could work together.

Gu Zuo approved of Gu Qi’s proposal. Those who had the right skills in hand needed a patron willing to utilize those skills to maximize the benefits.

It was just that the question of this patron…was a very serious one.

Of course, Gu Zuo also knew that this matter couldn’t be rushed, and said: “There are very few people in this world who are as courageous as my big brother. I also don’t think we’ll be so lucky as to meet someone like him. Thus, how we go about it will depend on the effects. For the next two days, I will dilute the Rejuvenation Pills, but the specific effects still have to be tested.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qi said: “Leave the matter of testing to me.”

Gu Zuo furrowed his brows: “It would be better to spend money and hire someone else…”

Gu Qi smiled, and straightforwardly ruffled and messed up Gu Zuo’s hair: “What are you afraid of? The Rejuvenation Pill’s effect is to treat injuries, and it’s a versatile treatment method. After the dilutions, there definitely won’t be any negative effects. Besides, with you by my side, even if there’s a one-in-a-million chance that I can’t bear the medicinal effects, won’t you be able to pull me back from the brink?”

He looked at Gu Zuo’s brows, which were still furrowed, and continued: “When all is said and done, the Rejuvenation Pill is our current trump card. It wouldn’t be good to expose it to those who aren’t collaborators ahead of time. So stop worrying, and leave it to me for testing. Who knows? Maybe it can make my outer appearance a bit younger?”

Gu Zuo heard these things, and took measure of Gu Qi.

Speaking of which, although his dad had tried his best to live optimistically over the years, because of the separation of his long-time partner and the pain of grieving his son, Gu Qi became physically and emotionally exhausted. Not to mention anything else, but his appearance had also changed a lot. It wasn’t known how many internal injuries had accrued within his body.

The Rejuvenation Pill didn’t have any effects that maintained a youthful appearance, but since it was a type of versatile medicine for treatment, perhaps it could fix both his internal and external injuries. In fact, it also possessed a certain nouris.h.i.+ng function — At the very least, there wouldn’t be any problems returning dad to the same radiant healthiness as other normal people his age.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zuo firmly made a decision.

Right. This world was different from the other world. It was modernized and governed by laws. He had to be even more careful about many things.

Moreover, he also had to believe in his own skills.

Thinking as such, Gu Zuo conscientiously took out some top-notch spring water, and started to dilute the Rejuvenation Pills.

Since it was his dad who would be testing it, he needed to dilute the solution thoroughly…

Off to the side, Gu Qi watched as Gu Zuo bustled around. While he couldn’t understand the process too clearly, he also felt that it looked very cool.

However, at this time, someone came and knocked on the door.

Gu Qi glanced at Gu Zuo, and saw that he was completely focused on what he was doing. As a result, Gu Qi stood up, and went to the doorway.

He opened the door —
