Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 152, Guan 6



Chapter 152, Guan 6

Fifteen minutes later, the door opened and Old Wu walked out, his face ashen.

"What's wrong with Lao Wu? Did he get completely drained? You're so weak, only two and he's already..."

"If you want, you can go in too." Old Wu interrupted the other person impatiently. "If you can last for two quarters of an hour, I'll call you grandpa." Those two quarters of an hour in the room were the most terrifying two quarters of an hour in his life, and he never wanted to experience them again.

"Really?" The soldier's eyes lit up, his gaze falling on Yunyi's slightly languid face behind him. "Then I..."

Just then, several people walked in from outside, led by Director Guan Liu.

"What's going on here?" Guan Liu glanced at everyone. "Is nobody doing anything?"

"Chief, two young ladies are looking for you," Old Wu said hurriedly.

Yunyi came out and nodded slightly.

“You…” Guan Liu’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, glanced at everyone, and said, “Register according to the rules, and then come in.”

Yunyi glanced at Lao Wu, and calmly walked inside as he subconsciously trembled.

The government buildings were stone houses, similar to the courtyard house style.

Guan Liu's office was in the main building.

"Boss Yun came in person, is there something you need?"

"Director Guan, do you recognize me?"

"The Fengyun Gang is riding high right now." Guan Liu smiled. Bai Wu and Bai Er Gongzi almost lost their lives, and it was you who saved them. The Marquis specifically instructed him to keep a close eye on this woman in Black City.

"It's easier to get things done once we know each other." Yunyi smiled. "I've come here with two things to discuss."

Guan Liu's lips twitched; this guy really wasn't polite.

"The first thing is to find a few people, namely the He Youcai family who were exiled from Qingzhou Prefecture."

"He Youcai?" Guan Liu frowned, unable to recall for a moment, so he had someone bring over the case file. "Let me check."

He quickly pulled out a file from the middle, glanced at it, and then looked up: "Is it a relative of He Youwei, the former Minister of Works?"

"Correct."

"They should be in Tianyang City now."

“Tianyang City?” Yun Yi frowned. “Why would it be sent there?” That’s where the Marquis of Zhenbei’s troops are stationed.

“Because He Youwei used to be the Minister of Works, and he’s very skillful. He can help with the construction.” Guan Liu smiled. “He needed help, so he took his younger brother’s family with him.” He paused for a moment. “Don’t worry, it’s much safer in Tianyang City than in Heicheng.”

Yunyi didn't say anything more, she just nodded slightly.

"And the second thing?" Guan Liu could only ask proactively.

"I want the Xiao family."

"What?" Guan Liu stood up without realizing it.

“They are from the former Grand Tutor Xiao family. My Fengyun Gang wants them.”

“No way.” Guan Liu shook his head directly.

"why?"

“Because…” Guan Liu paused, “we thought they were serious criminals, prisoners who needed to be closely monitored, as instructed by the higher-ups.”

Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Keep a close watch? How do you mean keep a close watch? Sneak up and kill him?"

"You..." Guan Liu was speechless for a moment, and also felt a little guilty, but he quickly took a deep breath, "Brother Yun, I know you are capable, but no matter how capable you are, you can't go against the imperial court, can you?"

"Does the Marquis of Zhenbei represent the imperial court?" Yun Yi scoffed. "If so, then I've already done the right thing by not opposing him."

Guan Liu frowned: "You..." Finally, he sighed, "Brother Yun, why are you doing this?"

“Guan Liu, I know you’re one of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s men, but you should know exactly what kind of person the Marquis of Zhenbei is. Do you think no one will ever find out about what he’s done?” Yun Yi lowered her voice slightly. “Once they do find out, what do you think you are?”

Guan Liu's face immediately turned ugly: "Brother Yun, if you know too much, you won't live long."

"There's no need to say these things. After all, whether we live long or not depends on whether we survive." Yun Yi waved her hand. "In short, I'm going to take the Xiao family members, unless they're dead." She then turned and left.

Guan Liu slammed his fist on the table: "Boss Yun!"

Yunyi stopped and turned to look at him: "Is there anything else?"

"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be so arrogant. This is Black City, not a place where you can run wild... What... what are you going to do?"

Yunyi suddenly turned around, grabbed Guan Liu by the collar, lifted him up and slammed him against the wall: "Guan Liu, whether you're arrogant or not isn't about words, it's about strength. Killing you is no different than killing an ant for me."

Guan Liu's face turned pale. He was a man, after all. Even though he was thin, he weighed over 160 pounds. Yet this woman had lifted him up like a chick and slammed him against the wall. If outsiders saw this, where would he put his face?

Of course, losing face is a minor matter; the key is his life. He hadn't even noticed how the other party made their move; he just felt a blur before his eyes, and he was already pinned against the wall.

The woman was right; she could kill him with ease.

"The Xiao family will die in the fire tonight, understand?" Yunyi's expression was serious.

Guan Liu wanted to say no, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something being thrown into it. Before he could react, he was patted on the chest and swallowed it.

Yunyi suddenly let go, and before he could react, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"What did you feed me?"

“Poison,” Yun Yi said, shrugging. “Although you’re not a high-ranking official, you still have the final say in things here. Naturally, I need to control you to achieve my goal.”

Guan Liu felt as if he had swallowed a fly. This was the first time he had ever met someone like Yun Yi, who spoke so bluntly and without any beating around the bush.

"You need to take the antidote every month. Remember to go to the gang to get the antidote on this day next month. Of course, if you forget, don't blame me. You can experience what it's like to be worse than dead. If you can get the antidote within three days, that's fine. If not, you'll bleed from all seven orifices and die." Yun Yi smiled. "Remember, the Xiao family will die in the fire tonight." After saying that, she turned and left.

Guan Liu clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground. Since becoming the director here, no one had ever threatened him and escaped unscathed. This woman was the first. But it seemed there was nothing he could do. After all, his life was in the hands of the Ren family. As for poison, it was better to be safe than sorry.

After leaving the government office, Yunyi looked at He Miao and said, "Now that we know where your parents are, you can rest assured. After all, there's no war going on recently, so they won't be in danger. Let's find an opportunity to go to Tianyang City to take a look."
