Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 785 - 788 Notification

Initially, when everyone heard Zhang Yuan's words, they thought he was indirectly asking them to leave. But when they saw the sincerity in his eyes, they realized he was speaking from the heart, so they all nodded in agreement. Subsequently, Zhang Yuan's butler appeared and led the others away to rest.

Soon, only Liu Ergou, Zhang Yuan, Fu Yan, and Fu Ya remained in the living room. Just as Zhang Yuan was about to thank Liu Ergou again, Fu Ya suddenly tugged on his sleeve and shot him a meaningful look. The instant Liu Ergou saw her glance, he understood what she meant.

He preempted Zhang Yuan and said, "Uncle Zhang, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Could you tell me what happened when you were collecting rent? I'm very curious!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's question, Zhang Yuan was taken aback. He quickly understood what Liu Ergou was trying to do. Turning to look at Liu Ergou with a stern expression, he said, "Er Gou, your uncle appreciates the sentiment! However, this is something I will handle on my own. You don't need to get involved. Rest assured, none of those people will escape. I'll make them understand that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Liu Ergou was no fool; he could easily detect the evasive tone in Zhang Yuan's voice. Clearly, Zhang Yuan didn't want him involved, likely because he was afraid something might happen to him that he couldn't answer for.

Zhang Yuan dealing with those people? I'm afraid that might be a bit difficult. It's very likely that if he goes, he won't be coming back!

With this in mind, Liu Ergou said, "Uncle Zhang, let me put it this way. This isn't a trivial issue anymore; it now involves some other matters. Therefore, I must ask for the details. As for what those matters are, don't ask. It's classified!"

The word "classified" left Zhang Yuan somewhat puzzled. But when he looked up and met Liu Ergou's gaze, he seemed to understand something. He sighed and said, "Alright, since you're so curious, Er Gou, I'll tell you. My building is in the northern part of the city. There's a bar nearby called… what was it called…"

Hearing this, Fu Ya suddenly interjected, "Is the name just the word 'Bar' and nothing else?"

At her words, Zhang Yuan nodded repeatedly. "Exactly, exactly! Who knew a bar could have such a strange name? It's literally just the word 'Bar'!"

"Tch, I was beginning to suspect…" Realizing what he was saying, Zhang Yuan stopped and turned to Fu Ya. "Hey, Little Ya, how do you know about that bar? Don't tell me you…"

Fu Ya immediately replied, "I passed by there once when I was out. I saw the bar and thought it was strange, so I remembered it!"

Zhang Yuan didn't doubt her explanation. Instead, he turned to Liu Ergou and said, "Er Gou, if you go there, you must be careful. Don't end up like me!"

Liu Ergou nodded. "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I'll be cautious. Besides, if it really comes down to a fight, they're no match for me!"

Although his words sounded confident, he felt no confidence in his heart. If he had to face Ancient Martial Artists, Liu Ergou wouldn't be scared even if there were ten of them at once. If he couldn't win, he could always ask his master, Swallow Li, for help.

But Gu insects... Those are a technique from Miaojiang that I've only ever heard about or read about in novels. If I really had to face them... I honestly have no confidence at all. There's a high chance I'd get taken out.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou decided to plan his approach carefully. If things got too difficult, he would just have to drag Swallow Li into it. After all, he's my teacher and extremely tough—he could take on ten guys at once. A few tiny Gu insects shouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Liu Ergou nodded, satisfied with this line of thought.

「Meanwhile」

Swallow Li, who was catching crickets in the village, suddenly let out a loud sneeze.

"ACHOO!"

Rubbing his nose, Swallow Li muttered to himself, What's going on? Why did I suddenly sneeze? Could someone be thinking about me? Or is someone scheming against me? That can't be right. Aside from those old geezers at the Investigation Bureau, no one would dare to scheme against me. I really don't get it!

He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and went back to catching crickets. For the current Swallow Li, catching crickets was the most important thing, as he had to enter a cricket fight against some others that evening.

「Back with Liu Ergou」

Everyone had dispersed to their own rooms. Liu Ergou had originally planned to go back to his room with Fu Ya to rest, but after some thought, he decided against it and went for a walk outside instead. Although he had stayed nearby before, he had never left his room, as he had been busy with Fu Ya. Since he had time now and had always been curious about the courtyard, he took the opportunity to get some fresh air.

After strolling around, Liu Ergou realized there was nothing particularly out of the ordinary about the villa's courtyard. Of course, it wasn't plain either; it was filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and rare plants, which were a delight to see.

Just then, it struck him that the matter he'd encountered today was quite serious. It had even caught Fu Ya's attention, so he figured he should call Shi Junya and inform her. With that, Liu Ergou took out his phone and dialed her number.

The call connected quickly, but Shi Junya's voice on the other end sounded a bit off. "Er… Er Gou… why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"

Hearing her speak, Liu Ergou couldn't help but scratch his head. Why does her voice sound so shy? Like a girl of seventeen or eighteen.

Though confused, Liu Ergou quickly recounted what had happened. After listening to his story, Shi Junya immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.

"Gu insects from Miaojiang?!" she exclaimed. "Er Gou, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Liu Ergou nodded. "Of course not. Why would I lie to you? I just finished treating the man. I felt there was more to this, so I called to let you know."

Shi Junya said, "I understand," and then hurriedly hung up.

Seeing the call end, Liu Ergou put his phone away.
