Chapter 1427: 1513: The Whereabouts of the Gu Emperor (Part 2)
Chapter 687 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" begins revealing surprises: CapĂtulo 1427: Chapter 1513: The Whereabouts of the Gu Emperor (Part 2)âGu Emperor? You mean... Read on to find out!
CapĂtulo 1427: Chapter 1513: The Whereabouts of the Gu Emperor (Part 2)âGu Emperor? You mean the dead Gu Emperor has been in that old manâs body all along!â
Su Xuan was once again taken aback and felt like cursing. He knew he possessed Dark Strength, and if he had used it to sense the old manâs entire body that day, he should have been able to detect the presence of the Gu Emperor in him.
âYes, after comparing data over these days, we found out that the old man is actually an internationally wanted thief named Gui Qi. As for how he stole the Gu Emperor, itâs unknown. On his way back to Miaojiang, Gui Qi was targeted, leading to subsequent events. Gui Qi was clever; he tied the Gu Poison with a string and swallowed it into his stomach, thus evading many inspections. However, Gui Qi did not anticipate that he would be assassinated on the train. This must have been beyond his expectations. Due to being in Gui Qiâs stomach for so long, the Gu Emperor began to control Gui Qiâs body, which is why he appeared so lifelike despite being dead.â
Mo Qingqiu softly explained, and when he finished, Su Xuan was astonished. To be honest, he found it all too incredible, feeling that this place was indeed living up to the saying â full of colors and wonders.
âDid you discover any important clues?â
Su Xuan asked with a smile, feeling somewhat excited. At least he could now confirm one thing: the Gu Emperor hadnât been taken by anyone else, and currently, the Gu Emperor was still controlling Gui Qiâs body.
âMr. Su, we invited you here because we hope you can unite people to help us find Gui Qiâs whereabouts. According to our expertsâ prognosis, if no one controls the Gu Emperor, things will eventually escalate!â
âHow so?â
Su Xuan curiously inquired, thinking to himself that Miaojiang was indeed filled with legendary elements, more unbelievable than corpse-driving. The Gu Emperor being able to control a lifeless body across county borders was truly unscientific.
âAccording to our experts, as time progresses, if Gui Qiâs body starts to decay, it could lead to an epidemic. Fortunately, itâs winter now, and the temperatures are low. If it were summer, the situation might have spiraled out of control!â
The police, due to limited manpower, were also feeling the strain.
âEpidemic? Does that make it a plague carrier?â
Su Xuan was startled. If an epidemic really formed, it would be terrifying.
âExactly, the Gu Emperor is a special type of poisonous insect. It spreads using decaying corpses, and anyone exposed or inhaling it will be at risk. So, we donât have much time left. If it werenât for the subzero temperatures these days, itâs hard to imagine what could happen.â
Mo Qingqiu said seriously.
The reason Mo Qingqiu thought of finding Su Xuan was that, in just a few days, Su Xuan had established Jianxia Manor and founded the largest security company in Miaojiang, turning into a legend. Mo Qingqiu was naturally aware of this.
Especially when Su Xuan trounced Young Master Ze from the Elite Gathering, leaving people feeling immensely satisfied.
âWeâre counting on you. Our police force is limited, and we know you currently have considerable power in this area!â
Mo Qingqiu said gratefully.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and said.
âIâll still say the same thing, once we get the Gu Emperor, I get to use it first!â
Su Xuan glanced at the large screen and felt slightly surprised; it seemed things were getting more complex.
âSo, the corpse really did leave on its own that day, and that handsome cop wasnât just spouting nonsense!â
Su Xuan recalled what the handsome cop said that day.
âMost likely, it did leave on its own!â
Mo Qingqiu whispered.
After it left that day, someone came to steal the corpse. We deduced that this must have been the perpetrator trying to steal the body. Maybe they also guessed that the Gu Emperor was inside Gui Qi, so we might be facing some competition now.â
âNo wonder the Underworld has been so quiet these days,â Su Xuan chuckled softly, realizing that the Underworldâs silence was likely because they were also searching for the Gu Emperor.
âIâll head off then. Iâll go back and sort this out for now!â
âLet me see you out!â
Mo Qingqiu walked Su Xuan to the police stationâs entrance. Upon reaching the door, Su Xuan saw a Mercedes parked beside his car, and a man in his twenties holding flowers by the car. The man seemed to exude hostility upon spotting Su Xuan.
Su Xuan smiled slightly, shrugging his shoulders and said.
âLooks like your boyfriend misunderstood!â
âDonât talk nonsense, thatâs not my boyfriend!â
Mo Qingqiu rolled her eyes helplessly at the guy and turned to leave.
âQingqiu, hold on, who is this guy?â
The man hurried to Mo Qingqiu, looking furious and demanding.
âWhat does it matter to you, Young Master Ximen? Canât you give me a break? Iâve told you, Iâm not into your type, youâŚâ
Mo Qingqiu was speechless. The person was none other than one of her suitors, a member of a prestigious family, Ximen Chuixue. But this Ximen Chuxiu was not the legendary Ximen Chuixue, and he seemed somewhat tragic.
âKid, I challenge you to a duel!â
Ximen Chuixue glared at Su Xuan, clearly displeased.
Su Xuan was speechless, thinking to himself that he was unjustly drawn into something again. Wanting to duel with him â was this guy out of his mind?
âYou want to duel with me? What makes you think you have what it takes? Iâm not someone who duels easily!â
Su Xuan smirked, deciding to toy with the fool a bit.
âIf⌠if I lose, I can give you a sword. If you lose, you cannot see Mo Qingqiu for the rest of your life. If youâre a man, accept my challenge!â
Ximen Chuixue looked furious. To be honest, seeing how handsome Su Xuan was, he felt pressured, a lot of pressure. This guy was too handsome, making Ximen feel like a lackey just standing in front of him.
âUhâŚâ
Su Xuan rubbed his nose.
âYour family forges weapons?â
Su Xuan thought to himself that in this day and age, who still deals with weapons? Did he think it was the unsullied era? Hopefully, if he wins, he wonât just give him a kitchen knife.
âHaha!â
Mo Qingqiu couldnât help but laugh; Su Xuan spoke in a way that could truly infuriate people to death.
âDonât bother with him, Su Xuan. This guy claims to be a descendant of Ouyez and says his family forges divine weapons, duping people all day long!â
Mo Qingqiu said helplessly.
âIâm not lying. I really am a descendant of Ouyez. My family is renowned for swordsmithing!â
Ximen Chuixue seemed quite annoyed, feeling somewhat insulted.
âUh⌠can they even forge swords these days? Isnât it prohibited by the state?â
Su Xuan asked curiously, knowing that Huaxia strictly regulates firearms and such. Although crafted swords might be allowed, truly sharpened swords were typically not permitted.
âTheir family is licensed, but the swords they forge undergo strict quality checks and are primarily for military personnel as swords!â
âOhâŚâ
Su Xuan nodded, realizing that he had heard in the military that officers still carried swords, as swords were regarded as the king of weapons, the gentleman of soldiers.
Su Xuan had once seen a generalâs sword when he was in the military, and it was indeed a remarkable sword. Never did he think this guy came from a Sword Casting Family; it piqued his curiosity.
âSo, do you dare to duel with me?â
As he looked at Su Xuan, Ximen Chuixue seemed like his movie namesake, poised and formidable!
