"You want to take my life? No way!"
Elder Bao slammed his fist on the coffee table. He was furious. Elder Bao had been keeping a low profile all these years. Neither Bao Jingyi nor Bao Shaoguo had ever seen him this angry. Elder Bao was so angry today because he was dissatisfied with the actions of some people and some forces.
"Back in the day, I defeated so many monsters that some people called me the 'Butcher'! But in order to defeat those monsters, I don't mind being cursed for the rest of my life. The Guo family! What kind of Project Eternity is this? Do you want to rule over Hua Xia for thousands of years? Do you want to be an emperor? "
Elder Bao hated those who wanted to be emperors the most. His entire family had been carrying out revolutions to rid themselves of the remnants of feudalism. Now, the Guo family wanted to be the ruler of the country for thousands of years. How could Elder Bao not hate them?
However, neither Elder Bao nor Qin Lang knew much about this Project Eternity. Naturally, they didn't know what the Guo family wanted to do.
According to Elder Bao's speculation, perhaps the Guo family's ambition had grown and they wanted to be the 'emperor' for thousands of years. In today's society, it seemed ridiculous to want to be an "emperor", but for people in the political circle, it was normal to have such an idea. That was because power was a slow-acting drug. Once one entered the officialdom, one would become addicted to being an official. Saying that one didn't crave power was simply bullsh * t. If one didn't crave power, one wouldn't be an official. Many people would rather die in office than retire early and enjoy the happiness of a family for the sake of power. For these people who were addicted to being an official, power was the best thing in the world.
Of course, the 'emperor' didn't necessarily need to wear a royal robe. He didn't even need to wear an official robe. There were too many ways to achieve absolute control over the people. They also had too many ways to achieve absolute control over power. However, to complete the final 'coronation', the Guo family had to get rid of revolutionaries like Elder Bao and rebels like Qin Lang.
"Help me contact Elder Wu," Elder Bao ordered Bao Jingyi.
The Wu Clan was also one of the great clans in the Imperial Capital. Old Master Bao was a comrade-in-arms with the Wu Clan's Old Master, so the first person he thought of was Old Master Wu.
Bao Jingyi followed Grandpa Wu's instructions and contacted the Wu family, but the reply he received was, "Grandpa Wu is not seeing guests right now."
"Give me the phone!"
Grandpa Bao picked up the phone and said in a calm and dignified tone, "I'm Bao Dongsheng —"
Old Master Bao was very respected, so the Wu family didn't dare to offend him. After a while, the man said, "Old Master Bao, it's not that he doesn't want to see you, but he's not feeling well right now."
Not feeling well?
What a coincidence!
Old Master Bao was a man who was good at fighting. He could tell what the problem was from the Wu family's words. He said calmly and dignified, "I'm not feeling well these days as well, but I've invited a famous doctor to treat me. I'm fully recovered today. If Old Master Wu trusts me, I'll bring him to see you."
Old Master Bao's words might seem calm, but in fact, he had all the pros and cons in his words. That "I'm not feeling well these days" was a clear indication of the severity of the situation to the Wu family. It was equivalent to telling them that Old Master Wu's illness wasn't simple, nor was it a coincidence. If the Wu family couldn't tell the severity of the situation, then they would be blind.
As expected, the Wu family quickly sent an invitation to Old Master Bao, hoping that he could bring the 'famous doctor' to diagnose Old Master Bao's illness.
"I didn't expect Old Master Wu to be ill as well." Old Master Bao said to Qin Lang, "Didn't you want me to introduce you to other big shots? Come with me now. This is the best time for you."
Old Master Bao included, all the big shots in the Imperial Capital were influential figures in Hua Xia. As the top figures, they wouldn't be easily influenced by others. Even if Old Master Wu and Old Master Bao were comrades, he wouldn't easily change his decision. That was because Old Master Wu had to take into account the interests of the country, his family, and his faction. His decision didn't only represent his own will, but also the will of a large group of people. Therefore, in Old Master Bao's opinion, this was the best time for Qin Lang to convince the big shots in the Shadow Troop. Qin Lang was now a famous doctor, and a famous doctor could control the life and death of a patient. Old Master Wu said that he was' not feeling well ', but the actual situation was definitely not as simple as' not feeling well '.
Old Master Bao decided to bring Qin Lang to see Old Master Wu, but this matter had to be kept secret. Other than Bao Jingyi and Bao Shaoguo, no one else in the Bao Family knew that Old Master Bao had recovered. The Chai Family? They were also in the know, but they were ordered to keep it a secret and temporarily stayed in the Bao Family. Moreover, the Chai Family? As a doctor, he should keep a patient's condition a secret. This was the most basic professional ethics.
Qin Lang and Old Master Bao secretly went to the Wu Family. Only Bao Jingyi and two guards accompanied them.
Qin Lang had long heard about the Wu Family. Not only did the Wu Family have a lot of power in the military, but they also had a few high-ranking officials in the State Council. As a super family in the Imperial Capital, they were not weak at all.
Since Old Master Bao had received the news in advance, his carriage drove directly to the Wu Family's courtyard. The Wu Family had already done the relevant confidentiality work in advance.
Right now, the Wu Family's situation was similar to that of the Bao Family. Old Master Wu was the pillar of the Wu Family. If he suddenly passed away, the Wu Family's power would definitely be greatly damaged. This was what the Wu Family wanted to avoid at all costs.
However, there was no way to hide it now. Old Master Wu, Wu Qingjiang, was already in a delirious state. The medical experts hired by the Wu Family were also helpless.
The entire Wu Family was gloomy. Fortunately, Old Master Bao had come and brought a famous doctor with him. This seemed to give the Wu Family some hope.
The eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Minglian, was the one who came to greet Grandpa Bao. He was also a general with real power in the military. He had made sure that no one was allowed to get close to Grandpa Bao's courtyard except for a few close relatives of the Wu family. He didn't want the news of Grandpa Bao's illness to spread.
"Old Master Bao, may I know where the famous doctor you found for us is?" The person asking Old Master Bao was Wu Minglian's younger sister, Wu Junhan. She was currently the chairman of a state-owned enterprise and was considered a person with real power in the Wu Family.
"It's Qin Lang, little Mr Qin." Old Master Bao pointed at Qin Lang.
