Chapter 340: What Kind Of Place Had He Come To?

Gu Xiqiao placed Gu Xijin to the side, turning to the young man with red eyes beside her instead.

When he saw her gaze on him, his heart pounded fiercely in his ribcage. Gu Xiqiao’s actions had terrified him. “Sorry, I’m merely an ordinary person, and I’m not here to give any trouble to you. I’m also not from the Qing triad, I’m here only because Gu Xijin forced me to come here.”

His tone was calm, but there was an obvious tension in both his eyes and shoulders.

“Why would she force you to come?” Gu Xiqiao had returned to her seat, her eyes still on the young man.

Seeing that Gu Xiqiao had no intentions to kill him or harm him, the red eyed young man let out a breath of relief. Noticing that Gu Xiqiao was waiting for an explanation from him, he immediately replied, “My sister is in her hands.”

Gu Xiqiao nodded her head.

With Gu Xiqiao seemingly believing his words, his heart started to calm down. But before it could settle completely, a deep, cold and clear voice spoke, “Just now, you boosted her power levels by three times. How were you able to do that?”

When the words were spoken, the heart that had slowed to a regular beat suddenly jumped to his throat once again. He raised his head, looking at the person who had spoken, flabbergasted.

It was the man who had a cold, jade face. His dark, coal eyes were as cold as ice, and it seemed to pierce through his very soul when the man looked at him.

The young man squeezed his fist unconsciously, but replied as calmly as he could, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at the young man, then lowered his eyes as he turned the white porcelain teacup in his hands, not saying another word.

His demeanor was indifferent, as though he didn’t really care when he asked the question in the first place.

“The First Hospital,” Gu Xiqiao said, turning to Jiang Shuxuan with a smile on her face, then to the Bai gang leader. “The VIP ward on the fifteenth floor.”

Hearing those words from Gu Xiqiao, the young man’s face paled instantly. His head snapped up, his hands trembling as something flashed in his eyes. “What are you going to do?!”

“Nothing.” Gu Xiqiao, looking at her fingers with a disinterested look. “The person behind Claude was you, wasn’t it? You also helped the Qing triad, and also the one who helped Gu Xijin? To be able to instantly triple someone’s power, your talent is indeed quite an impossible feat.”

Since Gu Xiqiao had rattled off the hospital and ward number, and could tell his abilities, the young man didn’t feel fazed now. Compared to just a moment ago, all he could feel was an unusual calm. “That’s right, that’s my ability.”

Gu Xiqiao finally straightened up in her seat, her eyes fixed on him. “I need you to do something for me.”

“Since I’ve already fallen into your hands, it isn’t like I have a choice.” The young man said, slightly bitter. “What do you want me to do? Triple your powers? My ability has a time limit, and it can hold for at most an hour. Any longer and I would fall into a state of weakness.”

“No.” Gu Xiqiao shook her head. “I don’t need your ability, what I need you to help me with is another matter. Let’s go.”

She didn’t need his ability? How was that possible? The red-eyed young man watched Gu Xiqiao walk off, disbelief clear in his eyes. There was no one who had not come to him for his ability?! Humans were all greedy creatures without exceptions, and the young man had thoroughly understood this fact in the time he had been here.
