Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 486 - 485: Keep a Low Profile
Because Ge Dongxu, Xu Yanran, and Lin Xiaojie were still students, it wasn't good for them to return to the school too late, so around ten o'clock, the three left Charm Ginza.
Seeing that Ge Dongxu was leaving, Wang Qiang personally escorted him to the door and also presented him with a Charm Ginza VIP card. With this VIP card, Ge Dongxu could enjoy the best services for free at all entertainment venues owned by Wang Qiang.
Xu Yanran and the others also received a card, but it was only a gold card, which allowed them to enjoy a 50% discount throughout the venue.
However, Xu Yanran and the others were already very happy.
Wang Qiang had originally intended to personally drive Ge Dongxu back to the university, but Ge Dongxu tactfully declined and, just like on the way there, took a taxi.
In the taxi, Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie gave Ge Dongxu their dormitory building, room number, and dormitory phone number. Since Ge Dongxu had received the girls' dormitory room numbers and phone numbers, it would not be good to be stingy. He also shared his dormitory building number, room number, as well as the dormitory and his mobile phone numbers with them.
Upon returning to the university, as the girls' and boys' dormitories were in different locations, the three of them split up.
Back in the dormitory, waiting for his roommates to fall asleep, Ge Dongxu quietly left the dormitory through the window, crossed the campus, climbed over the north gate, and entered Longxi Mountain.
At midnight, Longxi Mountain was utterly silent.
Like usual, using the cover of darkness, Ge Dongxu quickly shuttled through the forest and soon arrived at the highest peak directly facing Jiangnan University. Then he set up the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation and sat cross-legged under an ancient pine to practice during the Mao Hour.
Sitting cross-legged, Ge Dongxu quickly entered meditation, devoid of desires, his mind calm as still water.
In contrast to Ge Dongxu's tranquil mind, at this moment, the Chen family's key figure, Chen Jiaxiang, and several other important figures were all heavily burdened with concerns, their expressions grave.
Because just that evening, the Provincial Government unexpectedly conducted a surprise inspection of the hotels under Yang Hao's name, along with other businesses related to the Chen family.
Not only that, but that very night, Chen Longyou, Yang Hao, and his gang were all arrested and detained for brawling in groups.
All of these events were secondary; with the Chen family's influence, these issues could be slowly resolved through connections. However, what caused utmost shock and anxiety among the key figures of the Chen family was that this operation came without any warning and was ordered from the provincial level.
Only a moment ago, they had finally found out that Sang Yunlong had made pronouncements concerning the action targeted at the Chen family that evening, and furthermore, Zheng Zijie was personally present at the Public Security Department.
Either of these individuals was a heavyweight in the province, especially Sang Yunlong as the lead of the Provincial Government. With him personally making pronouncements, even though the Chen family held great influence in Jiangnan Province, at that moment, Chen Jiaxiang and the others all felt a tingling sensation on their scalps and a chill down their spines.
"I heard that this whole mess was caused by Chen Longyou," stated a middle-aged man with a commanding presence somberly in a luxurious villa by the Qian River.
This middle-aged man was none other than the second-in-command of the Chen family, also the current Deputy Mayor of Linzhou City, Chen Jiayan.
Being involved in politics, he was relatively well-informed. After inquiring from multiple sources, he had already vaguely heard some information.
However, because this matter involved Ge Dongxu and was an order directly issued by Zheng Zijie, who also told Brigade Commander Zou Qingrong to keep it confidential, even Chen Jiayan couldn't find out the specifics.
"Humph, I always said that Longyou's temperament would cause trouble sooner or later. Look what has happened now! I think he should be taught a harsh lesson," a middle-aged man with a hawk-like nose said coldly.
"Fourth Brother, Longyou is definitely in for a tough time this time. But the main problem isn't here, the key issue is that Sang Yunlong has spoken, and Zheng Zijie has taken action. This is a very serious and terrifying signal, if not handled properly, the many years of foundation of our Chen family might very well be destroyed overnight," said Chen Jiaxiang, whose hair had already begun to whiten, with a grave expression.
"Big Brother is right, Longyou is a minor matter, the crucial thing is the signal that this incident sends," Chen Jiayan said solemnly.
After Chen Jiayan spoke, the vast living room fell silent, the atmosphere grew oppressive.
"Fortunately, our people have never directly intervened in Yang Hao's affairs, this time he can only fend for himself. Longyou is ultimately my son, I must find a way to get him out as soon as possible," Chen Jiaxiang broke the silence after a long while.
"As long as Longyou hasn't committed any other offense, just a mere affair of gathering crowds to fight, he won't be closed up for many days, let him suffer a bit, it's not bad. I'm afraid that the boy has gotten used to being domineering over these years and might still have other issues. At this juncture, trying to get him out might not be so simple, and it might even provoke Sang Yunlong and the rest more," said Chen Jiaxiang's fourth brother, the man with the hooked nose.
Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashed across Chen Jiaxiang's face as he swept an imperious gaze over those present.
Everyone present avoided his gaze, evidently agreeing with the fourth brother's view.

"Fourth Brother is also not wrong, it's best if Longyou is fine. If there really is another issue, now is indeed not the time to whip up more problems. Better to keep our tails tight and behave," Chen Jiayan, who was also the vice mayor, finally spoke up after a long while.
Poor Chen Longyou, still waiting in the detention center, hoping his family would come to bail him out.
But he had no idea that the Charm Ginza incident had alarmed the two bigwigs of the province, and even his family, upon whom he had always relied, dared not make any rash moves at this moment.
Of course, at this time, Chen Jiaxiang and few other key members did not realize that the person Longyou had offended was someone even more terrifying than Sang Yunlong, otherwise, they wouldn't be wondering whether or not to bail Chen Longyou out, but whether they should rush into the detention center and break his legs.
...
The actions taken by the provincial authorities against the Chen family, as well as the response of the Chen family, all of this was no longer important to Ge Dongxu, and he wouldn't intervene.
Ge Dongxu clearly understood the principle of managing a country, which is not about directly overpowering the disobedient with martial power, nor is it resolved by simply throwing a punch to obliterate the issue.
If it really came to fighting, with Ge Dongxu's current strength, ten Chen families would not be enough for him to wipe out.
But handling this matter properly, avoiding societal unrest, not causing a negative impact on the lives of the people from Linzhou City, not wrongfully accusing the innocents, required the wisdom of the rulers.
This kind of wisdom, Ge Dongxu, a young freshman, certainly did not possess.
True Qi flowed through his meridians like water, Ge Dongxu opened his eyes after a long while, gathered the Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade from the ground, leapt up, and silently descended the mountain to return to his dormitory.
The next day was Sunday, Ge Dongxu returned from his practice at Mao Hour, his three roommates were still huddled in bed.
Two were reading martial arts novels, one was still snug under the covers dreaming of spring and autumn.
"The early bird gets the worm, I say Dongxu, going out so early, couldn't be you were hoping to have an encounter with the campus belle by the little Mingyue Lake?" Seeing Ge Dongxu return, Li Chenyu put down his martial arts novel and asked with a sleazy expression.
