Chapter 223: Being assassinated After a long silence, Shen Sanfeng said, "Such a good opportunity, why do you refuse it?" "Yes! You are too willful. You can't act like a child." Zhou Dachuan also said with a stiff face. Gu Chan smiled faintly, "I considered many factors." At this point, Gu Chan paused, and then continued, "First, I don't want to be used as a gun by them; second, even if I don't rely on them, I am sure I can take over many medical clinics; third, it is useful for me to get entangled with them, but it is definitely not as useful as getting entangled with the three brothers of the Tian family in the Central Plains Camp." "This..." Shen Sanfeng and Zhou Dachuan were both so shocked that they were speechless. At this moment, they seemed to see Gu Chan again. And what surprised them the most was that Gu Chan at this moment and Gu Chan who had just been in the private room looked completely different, as if they were not the same person. Gu Chan added, "Don't worry, godfather. I have my own considerations. I can worship Master Huozhou, but I must not rush to worship him. My main target is the Zhongyuan camp, because there are soldiers there. As long as there are soldiers behind me, anyone in Zhongyuan City can be dealt with." "Okay, your words have completely convinced me. I won't persuade you anymore. So how do you plan to become your disciple in the future?" Shen Sanfeng was convinced and asked. Gu Chan touched her chin with her hand and thought for a while before saying, "Wait a minute, it's not the right time for me to become your disciple. I need to wait for an opportunity."
"Gu Chan, Gu Chan, I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand you. On the surface, you look like a child, but when you get serious, you act like an extremely mature adult. What's going on with you?" Shen Sanfeng finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. Gu Chan laughed and turned back to her childish ways and said, "Godfather, you think too much. I am who I am! I learned all these thoughts from you, old man." "Go away, stop it. I haven't taught you these things." Shen Sanfeng said helplessly. Gu Chan smiled but didn't explain further. After that, the three of them said no more, but leaned quietly in the carriage to rest. After midnight, the carriage finally returned to the refugee area. At this time, Gu Chan and the other two were sleeping in the carriage. When the carriage stopped outside the central clinic of the refugee area, the driver suddenly lifted the curtain and shouted inside, "Master, wake up quickly, something bad has happened!" Gu Chan and the other two were awakened and hurriedly got out of the carriage. And just at this moment, the three of them were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. At this moment, the three-story building of the Zhongyuan Medical Clinic in front of us had already collapsed due to the fire, and some places were still burning. Wisps of white smoke rose into the sky, and the flames illuminated the entire area. Ma Zheng and everyone else in the clinic, all with dark faces, sat slumped in front of the burned-down clinic. Seeing Gu Chan and the other two coming back, Ma Zheng immediately ran forward, fell to his knees in front of Gu Chan and cried, "Boss, I'm sorry. You asked me to protect the clinic this morning, but I didn't. It's all my fault. I deserve to die." "Clap clap clap..." After saying that, Ma Zheng raised his hands and slapped himself hard on the left and right faces. Zhang Wanshan and others who were slumped on the ground shed sad tears when they saw Ma Zheng blaming himself so much. Ouyang Wan'er rushed over to stop Ma Zheng and helped him up from the ground. She said to Gu Chan, "Husband, don't blame him. It's not his fault. Someone deliberately set fire to our clinic." "Is everyone okay?" Gu Chan came back to her senses. She was not concerned about the clinic first, but about everyone else. Ouyang Wan'er cried and said, "Don't worry, everyone escaped. It's just that we couldn't put out the fire in time, and our clinic was burned down... wuwuwu..." At the end of her speech, she burst into tears and was extremely sad. Gu Chan walked forward, opened her arms, and hugged Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng in her arms, one on each side. She patted their backs and said with gritted teeth, "Don't cry, it's okay. As long as you are safe, it's just a broken house. It's nothing serious. Just burn it down!"
"Woooooooo..." Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng threw themselves into her arms and cried even more sadly. Zhou Dachuan choked up and said, "Oh my God! Why are you so unfair to us? We have already taken over the three layers and can open a clinic, but now the house has been burned down. Can't you bear to see us like this? Almost all of our savings have been used to repair this small building!" When Zhang Wanshan and others heard what he said, they could no longer hold back their tears. Gu Chan's face was frozen with hatred, she gritted her teeth and was furious. There is no doubt that someone deliberately sent people to secretly set fire to her clinic! At this moment, she really wanted to catch this person and tear him into pieces, but unfortunately, there was no evidence and the person was not caught, so she didn't know who to find. Shen Sanfeng stepped forward, patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "Alright, calm down. The most important thing right now is to count the remaining assets and find a new place to live, otherwise you will have to sleep on the streets tonight." "Godfather is right, stop crying, this is not a big deal, everyone be strong. By the way, I have good news to tell you all. Manager Zhou and I won the medical duel tonight, and we have obtained the land deed, building deed, and medical practice certificate. From now on, we can settle down in Zhongyuan City forever." Gu Chan let go of Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng, took out the small brocade box, held it above her head, and shouted at everyone with a forced smile. When everyone heard her words, they stopped crying and felt a lot more comforted. After all, if the house is destroyed, you can build another one. If you lose the medical skills duel tonight, you won’t get the medical license and can’t open a clinic, which will be a bigger blow to everyone. Gu Chan turned to look at Shen Sanfeng, "Godfather, I have something to ask of you." "You want to borrow some money, right?" Shen Sanfeng asked. "Well, can you lend me five thousand taels first so that I can make sure everyone has money to eat?" Gu Chan said with a bitter face. Shen Sanfeng shook his head. "Five thousand taels is not enough. You arrange everyone tonight. I will go back and make arrangements. Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the fifty thousand taels of silver notes to you." "Thank you, godfather. I'll consider this as a loan to you. I'll go to the Shen family to return it to you with interest later." Gu Chan said in a firm tone. "We'll talk about it after you get better. The most important thing now is that you settle down and then find out the real culprit who murdered you. After I go back, I will also send someone to help you investigate secretly." Shen Sanfeng said. Gu Chan sneered and said, "No need, godfather, just leave this to me. I know who is plotting against me. I promise to solve this matter in three days and return the money you borrowed with interest." Shen Sanfeng was stunned at first, then he nodded. The two of them didn't say anything more after that. He immediately got on the carriage and left, returning to the Shen family in the wealthy area of the East District. Gu Chan began to lead everyone to count the remaining assets rescued from the fire.
