Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 429 - 428: Do as Director Ge says
"Since Zhong Yongxiu has broken the law, he shall naturally be dealt with according to national law! As for the safety of Director Ge, I will send people to investigate the situation myself, and when it’s truly time to call upon Daoist Zhong’s assistance, then I will ask for your help," said Fan Hong, who was not just a Qimen Sorcerer but also a political figure, his emotional intelligence was certainly not something that a Zhong family head, who was used to dealing with zombies every day, could match. As soon as Zhong Yichao opened his mouth, Fan Hong immediately knew what kind of calculations were behind his words, and as for Zhong Yongxiu, there was even less to say. Ge Dongxu had spoken to him as a master to an apprentice, and yet Zhong Yongxiu had dared to attempt violence against him. For both public and private reasons, it was impossible for him to simply let him return to the Zhong family.
"Director Fan, since you don’t need my help, then I won’t intervene. But all of us are people of Qimen, and since Zhong Yongxiu has been shot, to still hold onto him—isn’t that pushing things too far?" Zhong Yichao’s calculations fell through, and his face immediately darkened.
"Director Wei, you will be in charge here temporarily. The people from the Zhong family are not allowed to leave for now," Fan Hong did not answer Zhong Yichao, but gave an order to a deputy director at his side, then pointed to several people, including Xu Lei, and said, "Follow me into the woods."
Seeing that Fan Hong, the head of the Special Ability Management Bureau, was about to lead a team into the forest, not only did the faces of Zhong Yichao and the others from the Zhong family change dramatically, but so did those of Yang Xiangrong, Divination Master, and others.
Fan Hong’s actions clearly showed how important Ge Dongxu was in his mind; even as a director, he did not hesitate to put himself in danger.
"No need." Just then, a figure strolled out from the forest.
"Director Ge!" Fan Hong, upon seeing that Ge Dongxu had come out safely, couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went to meet him, grasping his hand tightly.
In front of everyone, it wasn’t appropriate for him to address Ge Dongxu as Master.
"I’ve caused you some worry!" said Ge Dongxu, patting the back of Fan Hong’s hand.
"It’s my duty," Fan Hong replied.
Perhaps only Ge Dongxu could fully understand the profound meaning behind Fan Hong’s response. He smiled and then said, "The armored zombie has been eliminated by me. The alert can be lifted."
Although seeing Ge Dongxu emerge unharmed had led Divination Master Lv Xinghai and others to guess the outcome, hearing it directly from Ge Dongxu’s mouth still made them involuntarily shudder, and they couldn’t help but look upon him with a deep sense of reverence.
A Middle Rank armored zombie, even if discounted for its low intelligence, was at least equivalent to the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation. However, it was annihilated by Ge Dongxu, and seeing his calm and collected demeanor, without a speck of blood on him, it was clearly a complete victory.
With that being the case, doesn’t that mean he has at least reached the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, perhaps even the Seventh Layer?
The Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation was already a terrifying existence in this Dharma Ending Age, and the Seventh Layer was almost the stuff of legends.
Like the senior from Dragon Tiger Mountain, who had recently passed away—that was the reason Fan Hong had specially traveled to Dragon Tiger Mountain last time, as one such example.
But that senior had been one hundred and nineteen years old.
And how old was the Director Ge before him? Even if he were never to progress further in his lifetime, he was already capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with legendary figures in the world of Qimen.
At this moment, Divination Master and the others still didn’t know that Ge Dongxu was actually just a step away from entering the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Not only that, he had already been capable of using the Void Travel Talisman at the Seventh Layer. Just now, it only took him a few casually drawn Sword techniques to deal with that Middle Rank armored zombie; he had hardly exerted any effort, let alone engaged in a life or death struggle, otherwise, the Divination Master and the others would have been scared to collapse on the spot.
"Good, thank you, Director Ge, for removing a scourge for the people," Fan Hong was also deeply shaken, and then solemnly expressed his respect.
"It’s my responsibility," Ge Dongxu said succinctly.
"Yes!" Fan Hong nodded solemnly and then turned to order Yang Xiangrong, the person in charge of Dongyue Province, "Notify everyone that the alert is lifted."
"Yes!" Yang Xiangrong stood at attention and accepted the order to leave.
After Yang Xiangrong departed, Divination Master and others finally recovered, hurriedly stepping forward to thank Ge Dongxu.
They were all native Qimen Sorcerers from Dongyue Province, and in essence, Ge Dongxu was helping rid their homeland of a threat.
Ge Dongxu responded with a smiling and modest bow to each gesture of gratitude, not taking to heart the earlier disdain shown by some individuals, which caused the Qimen Sorcerers of Dongyue Province to feel quite ashamed.
"Director Ge, I apologize for my previous attitude as well as for that of the Zhong Family’s younger members," said Zhong Yichao with a face that flushed red and then pale, eventually steeling himself to step forward and bow in apology to Ge Dongxu.
Despite his unruly and arrogant nature, Zhong Yichao knew that a powerhouse capable of Suppression Killing a mid-rank iron-clad zombie was not someone their Zhong Family could afford to provoke, especially since he was an official.
"Zhong Yongxiu will be dealt with by the Special Ability Management Bureau. Your Zhong Family will cooperate with the investigation conducted by the Xiangxi branch of the Bureau. Any lawbreaking will be punished by the law, without exception, and you must not shield him. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to pay a personal visit to the Zhong Family in Xiangxi," Ge Dongxu said to Zhong Yichao after a moment of reflection, his voice cold.
It was the Dharma Ending Age, and those with genuine cultivation inheritance were very few. As long as the Zhong Family restrained themselves and abided by the law in the future, Ge Dongxu didn’t want to sever their lineage.
Of course, if Zhong Yichao failed to recognize the situation and insisted on confronting the Special Ability Management Bureau, Ge Dongxu would not be lenient.

Zhong Yichao’s face underwent several changes, but ultimately, he lowered his head and said, "Fine, we’ll do as Director Ge instructs."
Seeing that Zhong Yichao finally lowered his head, the members of the Zhong Family let out a silent sigh of relief, while that Zhong Yongxiu’s face turned deathly pale.
He knew his fate was sealed!
"Director Fan, there are some matters at home that I need to attend to, could you arrange a vehicle for me?" Ge Dongxu said to Fan Hong, now that Zhong Yichao had completely capitulated.
"Songnan City is just past Ouzhou City but the roads here are mountainous. It would probably take at least four or five hours to drive back. I think it’s better to send you back by helicopter," Fan Hong suggested.
"We only used the helicopter in an emergency earlier, there’s no need now. We can spare those hours," Ge Dongxu waved his hand and declined.
If it wasn’t necessary, he preferred not to use his privileges lightly.
Knowing Ge Dongxu’s character, Fan Hong didn’t insist upon hearing the refusal, and instead ordered a military vehicle to transport him back to Changxi County.
Before Ge Dongxu departed, he specially made an effort to say goodbye to Divination Master and the rest, which made them respect him even more.
By the time the vehicle reached Changxi County, it was already evening.
Ge Dongxu arranged for the driver to stay in the Changxi Grand Hotel and to return the next day to report back, while he went back to his villa.
However, his parents were not at the villa; they had returned to Ge Family Village. Ge Dongxu, still worried about his mother, saw that they had already returned to Ge Family Village and decided to make his way back to Ge Family Village through the night.
