Chapter 360: Bringing Him Here
Chapter 360: Bringing Him Here
November 7th, 2024
"He actually hung up on me? He dares to hang up on me!"
Gu Changjun's eyes widened as he looked at the middle-aged man beside him.
"This guy has the audacity of a bear and the heart of a leopard."
The middle-aged man agreed, "I was going to give him some face, so I called to inform him, but since he's being unreasonable, we don't need to worry about him."
"Exactly!"
Disdain flashed in Gu Changjun's eyes, and he immediately dialed another number.
It was Gu Zhixiong, the current head of the Gu family.
The phone rang only a few times before it was answered, and the tone of the other party was much better than when speaking with Gu Changkong.
Gu Changjun quickly explained the recent events and then made a request, hoping to bring Jiang Cheng to his side.
In his opinion, this shouldn't be a difficult task, but to his surprise, Gu Zhigang, who had always agreed to his requests, remained silent this time.
"Let's talk about something else."
Gu Zhigang spoke up, "I've already promised this to him, and I've lent him twenty billion in medicinal ingredients. If you had told me earlier, it would have been possible, but now it's too late."
"Father, I must take that kid away, right now!"
"Enough, stop being unreasonable."
Gu Zhigang frowned, "If I do this, won't I be breaking my promise? No need to say more, let's leave it at that."
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Although he loved the other party, he also had his principles.
During the previous call, Gu Changkong had begged him, and if he were to go back on his word now, how would Gu Changkong view him as a father?
No matter what, he was ultimately in the wrong.
"Father! Father!"
Gu Changjun dared not argue, but he couldn't help but call again.
Unfortunately, the result was the same, and Gu Zhigang's tone became stern.
"Bang!"
Gu Changjun, filled with anger, slammed his phone on the ground after hanging up, and glared at the middle-aged man beside him.
"You said there wouldn't be any issues if we followed your plan. What happened now? Tell me!"
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Young Master Fifth, I didn't expect this to happen."
"You didn't expect it? Do you think it's that simple?"
"Young Master Fifth, I'm willing to go and bring that kid here, to you."
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth and spoke.
Hearing this, Gu Changjun, who was about to get angry, paused, "Really?"
"Absolutely!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"Whether you want to use him or torture him before getting rid of him, it's up to you. Just follow your own wishes."
"Good, I'll leave this to you. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."
"I won't, Young Master Fifth."
The middle-aged man assured him, he was a First Rank Primordial Force Master!
Since childhood, there had never been anything Gu Changjun wanted but couldn't get. If he couldn't have it, no one else would either, especially not that Gu Changkong. Thinking of the previous matter, he wished the middle-aged man beside him would bring Gu Changkong along as well.
However, Gu Changkong possessed an extraordinary defensive artifact that could block Grandmaster-level attacks. If news of this spread, his big brother would definitely seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
But for an alchemist, there were fewer concerns. The middle-aged man could use his abilities to bring Gu Changkong here, and Gu Changjun wouldn't have to worry about his big brother's interference.
Even if it got out, at worst, he would be reprimanded and confined for a period of time. That's the worst-case scenario, and it's almost impossible.
...
The next day, Xu Hai arrived early at Jiang Cheng's doorstep with his granddaughter, his face beaming with joy.
Jiang Cheng was no longer surprised by this.
However, he was even more curious about the surprise Yang Chun had mentioned the night before.
When they arrived at the alchemy chamber, they found that Gu Changkong and Yang Chun had already been waiting inside.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had brought Xu Hai and his granddaughter with him, Gu Changkong was a little surprised. After learning the reason, he nodded.
Jiang Cheng was more than willing to guide others in the black market.
However, today was not the best time.
"Old Xu, I have something to discuss with Brother Jiang. Please go back for now."
"Alright."
Xu Hai reluctantly left with his granddaughter.
After closing the door, Gu Changkong laughed, "Brother Jiang, you've always wanted to try refining higher-grade potions, haven't you?"
Although Jiang Cheng had guessed something, when Gu Changkong said this, he was still taken aback. "Big Brother Gu, what do you mean?"
"Starting today, you can begin refining Awakening Spirit Pills!"
Gu Changkong burst into laughter.
"Really? Is it really possible?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned.
"Of course, it's true, little brother."
Yang Chun smiled, "The ingredients have already been delivered. How could they be fake? A whole two billion worth of ingredients!"
"Two billion..."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with awe.
He then looked at Gu Changkong, "Big Brother Gu, where did you get so much money?"
"Hehe, I can't afford that much money, but as the young master of the Gu family, asking for some support from the family doesn't seem like a difficult task."
Gu Changkong laughed.
"Little brother, this matter isn't as simple as the Director makes it seem."
Yang Chun added, "The black market in the Outer District only makes about two hundred million a month. By doing this, we're essentially borrowing against ten months of future profits. You can imagine the pressure he's under."
Jiang Cheng was deeply touched and said resolutely, "Big Brother Gu, rest assured. I won't let you down."
"Good, I trust you with those words!"
Gu Changkong signaled to Yang Chun, who understood and left. Soon, he returned with a box.
When he opened it, it was filled with ingredients.
"There are a total of one hundred sets of ingredients here, little brother. Start refining, and when you finish, let me know, and I'll bring you more."
Yang Chun said.
These were the ingredients for refining Awakening Spirit Pills, each set worth five hundred thousand, and a hundred sets were worth fifty million!
There was no room for carelessness.
"Here's the refining technique."
He took out a book and handed it to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng took it and flipped through it, and a line of small text appeared on the screen.
"Alright, Brother Jiang, from now on, focus on your research. As for Old Xu and the others, guide them when you have time. If you're busy, you can do it later."
Gu Changkong laughed.
"In a few days, I'll guide them again," Jiang Cheng hurriedly said.
Gu Changkong was truly good to him.
It would be hard to find such a person in the future.
"Hehe, alright. By the way, take this for now."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized item from his pocket.
