The Qing triad? Li Yu narrowed his eyes, being unfamiliar with the name but not caring much. He just had a thought in his head. After shuffling the cards in the political world, now even the gangsters would have to do the same?
He thought about previously in the Imperial Capital, of how Gu Xiqiao had rectified the entire Bai gang, and even flushed out some of the biggest forces there. She had also expanded and developed the gang, making them out to be some sort of savior, even the police had given them a pennant for all that they did.
To be able to change the direction of the gang and rectify them to this point, Gu Xiqiao really was the first person in history to do this!
Cecily scrolled through the comments from netizens, looking up suddenly. “What happened to Claude, Qiao Qiao? It seemed like he’d gotten life imprisonment.” Tsk, that was more painful than death by shooting.
It was a person who had been thrown in by Gu Xiqiao after all, who would dare to bail him out? Not only would no one dare, they didn’t even dare to deal with him lightly.
Hearing Cecily’s words, Li Yu rubbed his chin. He naturally thought about the scene where Gu Xijin and Claude had been walking together, and he thought he probably knew the reason why Gu Xiqiao had been harsher than usual in her methods this time round. “This Claude person is guilty and deserves a punishment that fits the crime, she’s just helping your country to clean up.”
Cecily opened her mouth to say something, but then caught sight of Jiang Shuxuan who was walking in from the door with the leader by his side, and she immediately stood up, her back rammed up straight.
“Leader, where have you been?” Cecily asked, pulling on his sleeves as she watched Jiang Shuxuan walk to Gu Xiqiao’s side.
The leader of America glanced at Cecily, knowing full well how grateful he was to her. If it weren’t for her advice, he would have cooperated with those people from Japan to try to suppress the ancient martial arts world. If he had done that, who knows what the state of America’s power world would be like now?
He thought about how England had changed its leader, then towards Gu Xiqiao, who was playing on the computer with a harmless look on her face. He couldn’t help the shudder that shot through him when he thought about just how terrifying this person really was underneath it all.
Seriously, it was such a close call. Cold sweat broke out on his back the more he thought about it.
“How is the situation at the zoo, Brother Jiang?” Gu Xiqiao raised her head when she saw that Jiang Shuxuan had returned.
Jiang Shuxuan handed her the compass in his hand, and Gu Xiqiao studied it for a moment. “Huh? Three days?”
“Three days,” Jiang Shuxuan confirmed, leaning against the table. His slender fingers took the compass from her, putting it away. “How did you find this place?”
There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the zoo on the surface, and if Jiang Shuxuan didn’t have the utmost trust in Gu Xiqiao, he wouldn’t have been able to pinpoint any problems there at all. Even he could hardly find any problems when he had been there in person, so how was Gu Xiqiao able to give him the location without even seeing it before?
“I calculated it.” Gu Xiqiao smiled brightly. “Big Brother Baili knows about this place too.”
The place in America was well hidden indeed, and Gu Xiqiao had to ponder deeply on this. What did it mean for someone to plant a big pit in America? And in its main capital?
“What would happen if the capital of a country was destroyed, Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Shuxuan thought about it for a while, his eyes darkening. “All the leaders of America are gathered here, if it was destroyed, the people would be thrown into a mass panic, and chaos would ensue. The other countries… would also be chaotic.”
“That’s right.” Gu Xiqiao propper her chin on her hand. “When it’s chaotic and havoc, the country itself would be destroyed.”
The two were chatting casually, as though they were discussing the weather, but the words they said made the leader of America’s heart pound fiercely. Of course, his thoughts were not as far-sighted as the two, so he didn’t think about the series of problems that would arise later from this matter. The more the two talked, the more cold sweat rolled down his back.
It was just so fortunate that he had been wise in the beginning!
His hands were still trembling when he thought about it, and even Cecily was surprised. She looked at Gu Xiqiao, then Jiang Shuxuan, and finally the leader. “Leader, where is the place that had issues?”
“I’m heading there now, you can come with me.” The more he thought about it, the more he felt anxious.
He quickly bid Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao a respectful farewell, before taking Cecily with him and heading towards the zoo.
The zoo in the capital is the largest zoo in the world. Cecily got down from the car, observing the area, but she didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. She looked up to the leader and asked, “Leader, do you feel anything?”
“I can’t,” The leader replied honestly, shaking his head.
“Huh?” Cecily laughed lightly. “She made a mess of the political circles in America, and you still have so much faith in the two of them?” To think that he had sworn to suppress the ancient martial arts world before this.
“It’s a must!” The more the leader hung around Gu Xiqiao, the more he could see how complicated the two were. He had always been well aware of what a powerhouse Jiang Shuxuan was, while Gu Xiqiao felt like a mystery to him, extremely mysterious. “You probably don’t know that the commander from the secular world came to me last night, saying that he wanted to thank Miss Gu. He had tried many ways to deal with those cancerous tumors in the political world, and had never succeeded. Then Miss Gu just waltzed in and took them down, throwing them into prison and solving a major problem in the secular world.”
“She is amazing indeed.” Cecily had already gotten used to Gu Xiqiao’s methods, and she didn’t feel any doubts from it. “She can make anything thrive anywhere she goes.”
“You’re also great, having the foresight, advising us to get along with the ancient martial arts world.” The leader patted Cecily on the shoulder, smiling widely to express his gratitude.
Cecily couldn’t help but feel speechless at the leader’s smiling face. “Hey, leader, there’s going to be a disaster here, why aren’t you the least bit worried!” It was fine that he wasn’t worried or anxious, but how could he still laugh so happily?
“With Miss Gu around, what is there to be afraid of?” The leader said, lifting his chin slightly.
Cecily: “…” Was it really alright for a leader like you to be acting like some die-hard fan?
Since Gu Xiqiao had arrived, she had collected another two die-hard fans. One was the leader of America’s power world, and the other the power holder of the Dickens family in the secular world. Cecily couldn’t help but click her tongue at that.
Then she suddenly remembered something, pulling out her phone to give a call to her dear brother. “Cecil, are you at the legacy base? Even if you are, you have to come out, there’s some great show going down soon… And also, I’m telling you that your idol is here.”
Cecily hung up the call once she said her piece, rubbing her chin as she smiled slyly. ‘I don’t believe that you won’t come after I said all those!’
***
Gu Xiqiao wasn’t aware that Cecily had secretly called her brother to return just to watch the show, she was still at her temporary residence at this time. Within three days, she had to deal with the Qing triad as soon as possible before she could settle the matter with the zoo with a peace of mind.
Thinking about this, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Klaus.
Jiang Shuxuan carried out a plate of cut apples from the kitchen, placing them in front of her.
Then he realized that everyone apart from Li Yu had left, and he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander over to him, his chilly eyes on him.
Li Yu, who was playing games suddenly felt an extreme chill shooting up his spine, followed by a low, deep voice that came from above his head. “Don’t you have a shoot to get to?”
“… That’s right, I suddenly remembered that. Miss Gu, Young Master Jiang, I’m going to the set now.” Li Yu hurriedly put away his phone, a neutral expression on his face as he bid a polite farewell to the two of them before leaving.

After Li Yu left, Gu Xiqiao picked up an apple, before raising her head to look at Jiang Shuxuan. “Why did you cut an apple?”
“You don’t like it?” Jiang Shuxuan looked towards her, he had picked apples subconsciously when he had been looking at the pile of fruit.
Gu Xiqiao shook her head, smiling softly. “No, I like it a lot. Last time, you always used to cut apples too.”
Jiang Shuxuan let out a sigh of relief, the corner of his mouth curling up. As long as she liked it, that was good.
His phone chose this moment to ring. He pulled it out to find that it was a message from his mother—[Son, when are you going to register your marriage?]
Marriage? Jiang Shuxuan searched his mind for the meaning of this word, before looking at Gu Xiqiao, who was typing away on her keyboard as she munched on an apple. He pursed his lips, replying back to her—[There’s no rush.]
No rush? Shu Chen, who was sitting on the sofa back in the ancient martial arts world, jumped up immediately, taking pictures of all the gifts in the room to show him.
Three minutes later, Jiang Shuxuan received three more messages.
Little Psycho: [JPEG] [JPEG] [JPEG]
Little Psycho: These are all gifts from the youngsters from the ancient martial arts world to Qiao Qiao! [JPEG] I’ve enlarged this one for you to see!
Little Psycho: Son, you have to drive the point home, otherwise, you’ll have to be concerned about all the wolves that are outside. Didn’t I say before, with your frosty demeanor, it’s a blessing eight times over for you to have found Qiao Qiao!
Little Psycho: Look at you, every time you go out on a mission, you run around everywhere, leaving Qiao Qiao alone. If it wasn’t for the fact that she also runs around everywhere, aren’t you afraid that she’ll stop liking you one day?
Little Psycho: One word, marry or not!
Jiang Shuxuan wasn’t reading the messages that Shu Chen was sending him, but was looking at the pictures that she had sent over instead. The first one was of all the gifts that were in the house, while the others were of cards that were attached to the gifts.
‘Miss Gu, you are my eternal goddess, I love you!’
‘You are my sunshine!’
‘Goddess, I want to bear your child!’
Eyesores! Extreme eyesores!
Jiang Shuxuan pursed his lips, his face darkening the more he saw. He finally turned away from his phone to look at Gu Xiqiao, a thoughtful look on his face.
“What are you looking at, Brother Jiang?” Gu Xiqiao could feel his eyes on her, and thought that he was acting a little strange.
“Nothing,” Jiang Shuxuan replied, still staring at her for a while before shaking his head. He then lowered his head and gave Shu Chen a more serious reply—[Wait for me to return.]
Jiji, who was sitting on the soda and eating chicken feet, raised its head to give Jiang Shuxuan a blank look. After Jiang Shuxuan shot it a cold look, Jiji lowered its head without a word, pretending it didn’t know anything. However, it’s movement became more mechanical than usual as it continued eating.
Jiji, who was a super computer, obviously knew everything that went on on the internet. It had wondered what Jiang Shuxuan was looking at, for his face to darkened that much, and had been curious enough to look into it.
After seeing it, Jiji regretted it immediately. Sigh, was Beauty Qiao going to get married soon? How depressing.
It thought for a while, before opening its mouth. “What are you doing, Beauty Qiao?” Jiji had tried to endure it, but it couldn’t hold back its urge to talk to Gu Xiqiao in the end.
Gu Xiqiao had just finished typing out a bunch of documents, sending them off to Klaus once she was done. “Dealing with the Qing triad. Oh right, Jiji, can you dig out information on Gu Xijin in America?”
“Gu Xijin? Give me two minutes, Beauty Qiao,” Jiji replied immediately.
***
When Klaus saw the news and documents sent to him by Gu Xiqiao, the corners of his mouth twitched as he muttered, “Miss Gu has finally made her move. Qing triad, I really pity you right now…”
Thinking about all that had happened in the past two days, Klaus felt like he was still in a dream, because everything had happened so fast. Claude was really locked up? Seriously, no matter how long he thought about it, he still felt like he was dreaming. As he thought about it, he went about carrying out the instructions that Gu Xiqiao had given him.

Following the political changes in the country, the gangs also experienced turmoil on their side.
The Bai gang.
“Boss, the people in the Qing triad have gotten more ruthless ever since they lost the Dickens family as their backer. Their gang also seemed to know everything that’s going on. They’re buying stocks and investing in funds, they’re being seriously arrogant and complacent!” A young man standing beside the gang’s leader said, helplessness in his voice. “Why hasn’t Miss Gu made her move yet?”
“The Qing triad used to rely exclusively on the Dickens family to help them, now that they don’t have that anymore, it’s obvious that they have to start working on getting their own funds.” The gang leader said with a smile on his face. “Also, who said that she hasn’t made a move yet?”
“Has she done something?” The young man’s eyes widened. Why didn’t he know anything about it?
“Did you have fun watching that coup d’etat?” The Bai Gang leader smiled faintly.
When the gang leader mentioned this matter, the young man’s eye lit up. “It was extremely entertaining! For Claude and those people sitting at the top of the pyramid to be toppled over, just like that! I also saw Klaus saying that it was all thanks to one person, that person is so amazing!”
“Other than Miss Gu, who else would be able to do that?” The Bai gang leader said, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the young man.
The young man’s smile faded slowly, looking at the older man with surprise and a hint of horror in his eyes. “No… no way!”
That was the political circle of America!
How could she shuffle the cards just because she said so!
The young man couldn’t bring himself to believe it at first, but then he thought about the Bai gang back in Imperial City, as well as Nine Heavens…
Suddenly, he felt like Miss Gu really was the only existence that could make these things possible!
“How could the political world of America be shuffled so easily? The only one who can make such an impossible feat possible, is Miss Gu.” The Bai gang leader stood up. “Go on and continue watching the show, there’s still more shocking things to come.”
