One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

For the first time, the chronic, dull pain in my body showed signs of relief.

"Thank you, Jiang Mo!" Chen Duo's eyes were filled with tears; after years of suffering, there was finally hope.

"This is only temporary; a period of recuperation is needed to completely resolve the issue."

Jiang Mo withdrew his finger and smiled, "But don't worry, I'll help you."

Chen Duo nodded gratefully, a long-lost relaxed smile on her face.

"By the way, brother, what did President Zhao say?" Zhang Chulan suddenly asked.

"General Manager Zhao is very satisfied with the results of this mission and has already arranged for people to conduct follow-up investigations at Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

Jiang Mo replied, "As for that Mr. Helian..."

"Because he has stopped and cooperated with the investigation, he will not face severe punishment."

"That's good." Zhang Chulan nodded. "I heard that the Quanxing sect has been making moves recently?"

Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow: "What's that noise?"

"Xia He seems to be gathering people; there are rumors that she wants to avenge the other three of the Four Madmen."

Zhang Chulan's expression was solemn. "However, this is just a rumor; there is no concrete information yet."

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "Didn't Li Muxuan already promise not to cause any more trouble?"

"It's possible that Xia He acted on her own. It's said that she has special feelings for Feng Baobao, one of the Four Madmen."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes: "I hope she doesn't do anything foolish, or she won't have a good ending."

Suddenly, a rapid knocking on the door interrupted the three people's conversation.

The door opened, and a company agent rushed in: "Mr. Jiang, General Manager Zhao requests your immediate access to the conference room; there's an emergency."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Zhao Fangxu sat in the main seat, his face ashen.

A video was playing on the screen in front of him.

In the video, a woman with a hot figure stands on a high platform, with dozens of men in black behind her.

"Gentlemen of the company, I am Xia He, one of the Four Madmen of Quanxing."

The woman's voice was full of provocation, "You killed three of my companions; it's time to settle this score."

"I know that the murderer who killed them is Jiang Mo, who calls himself the God of Gu."

"Now, I formally challenge him!"

"Three days later, I waited for his arrival at the abandoned factory on the banks of the Qiantang River."

"If he doesn't dare to come, I'll let the entire city of Hangzhou know what true fear is!"

The video ended there, and the meeting room fell silent.

"This video was sent to the company email ten minutes ago."

Zhao Fangxu broke the silence, "We've confirmed the authenticity of the video; it really is Xia He."

Sitting to the side, Li Muxuan's expression was complicated: "President Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"I have clearly told the Quanxing people that they must not cause any more trouble."

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Li Muxuan: "I believe in Chairman Li's sincerity, but Xia He clearly doesn't buy into it."

At this moment, Jiang Mo walked into the conference room.

“Mr. Jiang, you’ve come at the right time.” Zhao Fangxu gestured for Jiang Mo to sit down. “There are some things you need to know.”

Jiang Mo glanced at everyone present, then walked to an empty chair and sat down: "What happened?"

Zhao Fangxu signaled to his assistant to replay the video.

After watching the video, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes: "It seems some people never learn."

“Mr. Jiang, this challenge…” Zhao Fangxu hesitated before speaking.

Jiang Mo smiled faintly: "Since she dares to challenge me, I will naturally accept the challenge."

“But this could very well be a trap,” one director said worriedly.

"Xia He is, after all, one of the Four Madmen, and her strength should not be underestimated."

"Moreover, she may have other forces supporting her."

Jiang Mo shook his head: "Whether it's a trap or not, it doesn't matter."

"Since she wants to witness the power of the Gu God, then I will grant her wish."

Li Muxuan suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Jiang, I have a favor to ask."

Jiang Mo looked at Li Muxuan: "Please speak."

"Although Xia He acts impulsively, among the Four Madmen, her personality is relatively mild."

Li Muxuan said sincerely, "If possible, Mr. Jiang, please show mercy and give her a chance to make amends."

Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly: "President Li, didn't you say before that you would manage the Quanxing people well?"

Li Muxuan looked ashamed: "It was indeed my oversight that I failed to notice Xia He's movements in time."

"However, I have already sent people to look for her, hoping to persuade her to return within three days."

Jiang Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded: "If she's willing to stop, I naturally won't go so far as to kill her."

"But if she insists on the challenge, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhao Fangxu nodded in satisfaction: "Then it's settled."

"Three days later, the company will send someone to accompany Mr. Jiang to the agreed location."

"At the same time, we will also deploy personnel around the area to prevent Xia He from playing any tricks."

After the meeting ended, Jiang Mo was about to leave when Li Muxuan followed him.

"Mr. Jiang, can we talk privately?"

Jiang Mo stopped and turned to look at Li Muxuan: "What is it?"

Li Muxuan looked around and, after confirming that no one else was around, lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Jiang, I suspect that Xia He may be being directed by other forces."

Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Although Xia He has an extreme personality, she is always rational and would not do something so openly provocative."

Li Muxuan explained, "Furthermore, those men in black in the video are not members of the Quanxing faction."

Jiang Mo asked thoughtfully, "Who do you suspect is behind this?"

Li Muxuan shook his head: "It's not certain yet, but I will continue to investigate."

"We hope to give Mr. Jiang a definite answer within three days."

Jiang Mo nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After returning to his residence, Jiang Mo told Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo about the situation.

"Big brother, do you want me to go with you?" Zhang Chulan asked worriedly.

Jiang Mo shook his head: "No need, I can go by myself."

"You stay here and protect Chen Duo."

"Li Muxuan suspects that Xia He is being manipulated by someone. If that's the case, then their target might not just be me."

Zhang Chulan suddenly realized: "Big brother means they might take this opportunity to harm Chen Duo?"

Jiang Mo nodded: "Just in case, you two stay in the fortress for the next few days and don't go anywhere."

Chen Duo asked softly, "Jiang Mo, will you be alright?"

Jiang Mo smiled slightly and patted Chen Duo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no one can hurt me."

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was the third day.

During this time, Jiang Mo has been studying the "Gu Scripture" and learning the various Gu techniques and secret methods recorded in it.

At the same time, he was also helping Chen Duo stabilize the primordial Gu within her body, with remarkable results.
