Although the old man seemed to be eating, drinking, and having fun during his stay here, he did everything he needed to do. Everything had been investigated clearly.
It was too easy for him to stop Guo Yu. He just needed to say that he met Guo Yu by chance, and then he would ask him to go to his room to check his pulse and see the effect of the detoxification. It was not a problem for him to delay Guo Yu for half an hour.
And this half an hour was enough for Xu Yun to send everyone away.
Although Qi Qingzhu and Guo Yu had been on Qingdao for so many days, they only saw Xu Yun and the people around Xu Yun in the hotel and the company. They did not do any more investigation.
Perhaps Qi Qingzhu did not dare to make too much noise and wanted to deal with things in a low-key way, or perhaps Guo Yu did not want to get himself involved in too dangerous a situation, so they did not leave the circle around the movie hotel at all.
Naturally, they did not know the whereabouts of Xu Yun and the others.
If Qi Qingzhu had the foresight to let Guo Yu follow Xu Yun and find out the location of his home, then Xu Yun and the others would be in a worse situation.
For Xu Yun now, as long as he sent them home safely and did not show up before the matter was settled, it would be enough for him to be safe.
When Xu Yun returned to the company again, Zuo Meiyan was quite surprised. She did not expect that Xu Yun could come back before the meeting was about to end.
However, what Xu Yun did next made Zuo Meiyan unable to understand. Xu Yun directly gave a simple explanation to the others present, saying that there was a very urgent matter. He directly called them out and asked them to go home immediately.
The matter was urgent. Although Zuo Meiyan was dissatisfied with Xu Yun's improper approach, she knew Xu Yun well. Xu Yun was not a person who would do such a thing.
There was a reason, and Xu Yun could not explain it clearly in a few sentences, so Xu Yun made the arrangements in such a hurry.
Xu Yun was a person who cared more about the people around him than himself. In such a situation, it was definitely not a good thing. If the matter was not tricky to a certain extent, with Xu Yun's composure, he would definitely not make such an arrangement.
Once Zuo Meiyan understood and obeyed, the others didn't have too many objections.
Although this meeting had a strong start and a weak finish, everyone expressed their understanding.
Xu Yun didn't go through the front door. Instead, he called Shi Lei to arrange a car. They left through the back door.
He knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at their front yard from one of the rooms in the movie hotel across the street.
On the other hand, Xu Yun called Bai Xiaoye after he left and told her not to panic. He told her to go home as usual and not to act strangely.
Although Bai Xiaoye was confused, she still followed Xu Yun's instructions.
After settling everything, Xu Yun finally felt at ease.
Lin Ge, who had returned home with them, had been suppressing his doubts. When Xu Yun finally sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Brother, what's going on?" Lin Ge frowned.
"The Zhao family is really unwilling to give up. They invited people to stay in the hotel and are waiting for an opportunity to make a move on us." Xu Yun didn't hide anything. "Their target is not only me, but also Jiang Hong and Jiang Zixue. Because the two of them are no longer around, they want to use me to find them. They're planning to capture you to threaten and force me to submit."
Only then did everyone burst into an uproar.
Zuo Meiyan was confused. "How did you know?"
"Old Mister invited me over to tell him today," Xu Yun said.
"Then … why are you so sure about what he said?" Bai Xiaoye was a little surprised.
"He didn't say it. I heard it with my own ears." Xu Yun: "Although I don't know how the old mister did it, he actually let the Zhao family's people 'eat' his listening device …"
Ruan Qingshuang widened her eyes. No matter how she listened to it, it sounded like nonsense.
"I heard their conversation clearly," Xu Yun said.
Lin Ge slammed the table. "Then why are we still being polite with them? We're in our territory, so why should we be afraid of them?"
The others also expressed the same thoughts as Lin Ge.
"Since they're in the hotel, we'll take the initiative!" Chou Yeon said. "Let's catch them directly!"
"That's right!" Lin Ge said. "I'll go take them down now and beat them until they don't recognize their parents."
Xu Yun shook his head.
Zuo Meiyan also smiled. "I think they're right. Besides, didn't you say that the old mister's identity is mysterious and his strength is terrifying? Since he's helping you, he won't just leave you be, right?"
Lin Ge nodded vigorously. "That's right! This is a good opportunity to see the old mister's strength! "
"Stop fooling around." Xu Yun: "You don't even know who the other party is right now, and you're just talking about it."
"No matter who they are, with the old mister here, we won't be afraid of them!" Lin Ge didn't have confidence in himself or others, but he had absolute confidence in the old mister.
This was a transcendent expert who could render him helpless with a wave of his hand. Who would he be afraid of?!
"The old mister won't take the initiative to attack unless the other party attacks," Xu Yun said. "But once the other party attacks, he won't be able to control himself."
Ruan Qingshuang didn't understand what was going on, but she was curious. "Then why?"
"You won't understand even if I explain it to you. The people in the underground world won't take the initiative to attack those who have already retired," Xu Yun said. "Unless the person who has already retired gets into trouble with the underground world again …"
Ruan Qingshuang nodded, but she didn't fully understand.
"Then I'll ask the other party to attack. After they provoke me, we'll fight back." Lin Ge felt that this matter was too simple. There was no need to complicate things so much.
"That's why I said that you don't know who your opponent is," Xu Yun said.
"Is he more powerful than my mom?" Bai Xiaoye said disapprovingly.
Xu Yun thought for a moment. "Although he's not as powerful as her, his strength is probably on par with hers."
After a pause, Xu Yun continued, "But there's one thing that even my stepmother has to be afraid of. In this world, no one knows how to use poison better than this guy. "
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to figure out who in the world could be so good at using poison.
Other than Ruan Qingshuang, who didn't know anything about the underground world and people, everyone quickly had an answer in their hearts.
Almost in unison, they said, "Could it be Qi Qingzhu?"
Xu Yun really did not expect that everyone who spoke would answer correctly. He stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.
This time, the entire room became quiet.
Qi Qingzhu. Although this name had disappeared from the underground world for a long time, as long as one came into contact with the underground world, they would have heard of this name.
Other than Ruan Qingshuang, everyone in the room probably knew how terrifying the Five Poison Walker's reputation was.
Even if no one had really come into contact with Qi Qingzhu, just the mention of his name would still make them tremble in fear. The key was the bad reputation that Qi Qingzhu had left behind.
The things that Qi Qingzhu had done weren't things that a human could do.
Just how poisonous was this Old Poison? The impression he left on people was already very terrifying.
"How is this possible …" Zuo Meiyan was the first to find it hard to believe. Qi Qingzhu, this person had disappeared for far too long. It had been so long that even someone as sinister as him had almost been forgotten by others.
Bai Xiaoye didn't say anything. She stared at Xu Yun without blinking. She knew that Xu Yun wouldn't talk nonsense.
She had only heard a little about Qi Qingzhu from her mother. She also knew how sinister he was.
"Did the old mister say that?" Lin Ge sucked in a breath of cold air. "Could it be that the old mister came to Guqin Island because of this Old Poison?"
Xu Yun nodded. "That's right. He didn't come to Guqin Island to look for Little Dongbei. I asked Little Dongbei. When they parted in the old forest in the northeast, Little Dongbei didn't leave any contact information."
Chou Yeon fell silent. Ruan Qingshuang didn't say anything. She understood what they were talking about.
"How can the Zhao family be so powerful?" Lin Ge kept shaking his head. "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"We obviously can't guess why, but it's true," Xu Yun said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to go home in such a hurry."
