This scene startled Old Master Liu. What was happening?
Seeing Young Master Zhao and his companion, Baili Caixia was reminded that these two were descendants of the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander.
She had actually forgotten this earlier.
"It's her, and the other two must be here as well."
"Take them down directly."
Upon seeing Baili Caixia, Young Master Zhao shouted excitedly.
"Hold it!"
"Where are your companions? Call them out."
The leading city guard aimed the dark muzzle of his gun at Baili Caixia.
Seeing this, Old Master Liu quickly exclaimed, "What is going on?"
"Who are you?" The city guard captain looked at Old Master Liu coldly.
"I am Liu Zongzhen of the Liu family!"
"Old Master Liu? Why are you here? What's your relationship with them?" the city guard captain asked in surprise.
Liu Zongzhen did not answer, but retorted, "What are you doing?"
"This woman and her companions are suspected of harming Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao," the city guard captain replied.
Liu Zongzhen looked at Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao in shock. "Which Zhao family?"
"The grandson and granddaughter of the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander!" the city guard captain replied.
Liu Zongzhen paused. The Zhao family was asking Baili Caixia to treat the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander, yet their descendants were trying to arrest Baili Caixia?
"I heard. I have a feud with their family."
"So what happened just now is void."
Baili Caixia said calmly.
"Miss Caixia, please remain calm. I will call the Zhao family right away." Liu Zongzhen had finally managed to persuade Baili Caixia to agree to treat the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander. He hurried, "There must be some misunderstanding."
"There's no misunderstanding. We were the ones who caused him to fall from a high altitude," Baili Caixia smiled nonchalantly. "It's normal for him to seek revenge."
Liu Zongzhen quickly turned to Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao. "You two, this Miss Caixia is the divine doctor you are looking for. Are you sure you want to make an enemy of her?"
"Her? A divine doctor?" Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao did not expect Baili Caixia to be the person they were looking for.
Liu Zongzhen nodded. "It was Miss Caixia who brought me back from the brink of death. How could I be mistaken?"
Young Master Zhao glanced at his sister. Although he was arrogant, he knew what was more important.
In this situation, saving his grandfather was naturally paramount.
"As long as you can cure my grandfather, I will not pursue what happened before," Young Master Zhao said gravely.
Baili Caixia chuckled. "Are you threatening me? What if I refuse to treat him?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Zhao said coldly, "If you refuse to treat him, we will accuse you of murder, and you will face life imprisonment."
Liu Zongzhen cried out that it was bad. "Young Master Zhao, Miss Zhao, it would be best to have Mr. Zhao discuss this matter."
These pampered young masters and ladies could not possibly see Baili Caixia in their eyes.
Even if Baili Caixia was a divine doctor, she was just a nobody in their eyes.
Although Zhao Gaohan's status was higher than these two, as a figure of authority, he was more diplomatic in his dealings.
If these two youngsters continued to talk with Baili Caixia, it would definitely end in disaster.
Liu Zongzhen wanted to de-escalate the conflict, but Baili Caixia had no intention of doing so.
"There's nothing to discuss. I won't make a move no matter who comes," Baili Caixia said, then turned to return to the villa.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhao was filled with rage.
He came from a prominent family. Besides the imperial family of the capital, who else dared to look down on their family in such a manner?
"Since you're not helping, you're an enemy."
"The three of you harmed us siblings. We'll arrest you first today."
"Unless my grandfather is cured, you won't be getting out."
Young Master Zhao's words had completely burned the bridges.
Baili Caixia chuckled. "Arrest me? They're not enough."
"I know you can fight, but can you outrun bullets?"
As Young Master Zhao shouted, the city guards beside him immediately aimed their guns at Baili Caixia.
Facing the dark muzzles, Baili Caixia chuckled. "Don't point your guns at me, point them at those two!"
"Haha... Who do you think you are? You..."
Just as Young Master Zhao was about to mock Baili Caixia for not being able to command the city guards, he saw the expressions of the city guards suddenly turn vacant.
Immediately, all the city guards turned their guns towards Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao.
"Ah!"
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Just as Young Master Zhao cried out in surprise and anger, the captain of the city guards suddenly fired at the ground beneath Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao's feet.
The popping gunshots startled the two, causing them to scream and jump around, covering their heads.
This scene made Liu Zongzhen's mouth gape in shock!
These were city guards. How could Baili Caixia command them?
More importantly, these people were pointing their guns at Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao.
Did they not want to live?
These city guards definitely knew the identities of these two, but why were they doing this?
When he saw the vacant eyes of these people, a ridiculous thought flashed through Liu Zongzhen's mind.
Could all these people have been hypnotized?
To have unknowingly hypnotized the city guards into obedient pawns was too terrifying!
"Miss Caixia, please don't be angry!" Liu Zongzhen quickly persuaded them, lest a stray bullet kill Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao.
"Go tell their families not to harass me, or they will face the consequences."
Under the terrified gazes of the three of them, Baili Caixia walked back into the villa.
At this moment, the city guards finally regained their senses.
When they saw that they had their guns pointed at Young Master Zhao and the other, they frantically lowered them in fear.
"You dare to shoot at me!" Young Master Zhao roared furiously.
The city guard captain hurriedly explained, "Young Master Zhao, we don't know anything. It was as if we were asleep just now."
Liu Zongzhen quickly explained for them, "They might have been hypnotized; it wasn't their own will."
"Hypnotized? Does such a thing really exist?" Miss Zhao asked suspiciously.
Liu Zongzhen said, "Do you think they would dare to shoot at you?"
"So what if she can hypnotize? I want to see how many people she can hypnotize?"
"If they came in tanks, could she hypnotize the people inside the tanks?"
"Notify your superior and send me a hundred men."
Young Master Zhao was so enraged that he lost his mind. He also wanted to capture Qin Hanchu and the other two.
"Young Master Zhao, the most important thing right now is the condition of the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander's health."
"Are you sure you don't want to wait for your father to decide?"
"You need to think carefully. If this escalates too much, there will be no turning back."
"The other party is not afraid of you, perhaps they also have a powerful background."
Liu Zongzhen advised.
"Brother, let's go back and tell Father about this first," Miss Zhao said.
Young Master Zhao remained silent for a long time, then finally snorted and turned to leave.
Liu Zongzhen also hurried to follow, and together they headed to the Wu Family Manor where the Blade-Edge Dragon Commander was staying.
This matter had become complicated, but Liu Zongzhen could not withdraw at this point.
