Save me?

Lu Yuan never expected that when he asked Dr. Zhou if he needed help, he would get such an answer.

But after reacting, just like Zhou Ze just now, he subconsciously glanced around.

When he had made a full circle, and confirmed that he had discovered nothing unusual, he dared to look back at Dr. Zhou and cautiously asked, “Save you, Dr.

Zhou? What do you mean?”

“My family is being held hostage. The person is in the backyard right now, Xiaoqing and Huaping are being held hostage by him.” Zhou Ze quickly explained the current situation.

“Who is the person?” Lu Yuan asked.

“I don’t know.” Zhou Ze shook his head, and then lowered his voice even more, “But that person is a martial arts expert. I’ve treated countless people in the

Jianghu martial arts world and seen many experts, so I have some eye for it.

But among the people I’ve treated, very few can compare to that person.”

At this point, Zhou Ze recalled, “If I really had to make a comparison, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang gives me a similar feeling as that person.” “The leader of the Black Wolf Gang feels the same as that person?” Lu Yuan was surprised, with his expression changing.

The leader of the Black Wolf Gang was a second-class martial artist in the Jianghu world who had cultivated six or more meridians.

Although Lu Yuan now had minor success in martial arts, he had only just unlocked three meridians, making his strength barely third-rate.

‘How did Zhou Ze provoke such a person?’

For a while, Lu Yuan felt like sitting on pins and needles, and almost wanted to flee.

Luckily, he somewhat cared for his friendship with Zhou Ze and suppressed the urge to run away, managing to calm down and hear the rest.

However, in his heart, he was already considering how to refuse Dr. Zhou later.

This was not because Lu Yuan didn’t value his relationship with Zhou, but because asking a third-rate martial artist like himself to deal with a second-rate expert seemed like a suicide mission.

Zhou Ze was very clever and had seen countless people, so he immediately realized what Lu Yuan was thinking. In his urgency, Zhou Ze hurriedly said, “I’m not asking you to die, but you genuinely have a chance to save me.

The person I mentioned is seriously injured right now, which is why he came to my house to force me to treat him.

He may be a second-rate expert, but he’s suffered more than a dozen wounds from swords, and his internal organs have been severely hit, causing his inner strength to scatter. If he can use two or three percent of his strength, that would be considered impressive.”

“Seriously injured, can only use two or three percent of his strength…” When Lu Yuan heard this, his tone became a bit more hesitant.

Facing a second-rate expert who was seriously injurer, given his current third-rate strength, there was indeed a chance to kill.

But while there was a chance, there was still risk involved.

A seriously injured second-rate expert was not easy to kill. One misstep could cost him his life.

As a person pursuing longevity, he hated taking risks the most, so after weighing the risks in his heart, he decided to refuse.

Although doing so would be somewhat unfair to Zhou Ze’s family.

However, friendship is one thing and life is another; the two cannot be mixed together.

“Dr. Zhou, it’s not that I…” Lu Yuan tried to refuse.

“I have Seven-step Fragrance.”

To save his own life, Zhou Ze couldn’t care less and added, “I have a large amount of Seven-step Fragrance stored at home, some of which I have carefully prepared. It is absolutely colorless and tasteless when added to food and drink.

I can drug that person, and when he’s been affected by the sedative and his limbs are weak, you can strike from the side. Facing a drugged person, you should have some confidence, right?”

Zhou Ze looked at Lu Yuan expectantly.

In fact, using the Seven-step Fragrance to drug that person had been crossing his mind.

But for the effectiveness of the sedative, although Zhou Ze had tested it and it could easily drug a strong bull, he wasn’t sure if it would work on a second-rate martial artist from the Jianghu world.

After all, a second-rate expert’s inner strength was plentiful enough to resist ordinary sedatives and poisons.

Whether the Seven-step Fragrance would work on such a person was a question mark.

With his family’s safety at stake, Zhou Ze didn’t dare gamble.

It wasn’t until he met Lu Yuan today that he saw some hope and decided on this plan.

“If the sedative will help, then indeed, I have confidence.” Lu Yuan was convinced.

He also possessed the Seven-step Fragrance and even once experimented with it on himself, so he was well aware of the powerful and domineering nature of this sedative.

It really made people collapse within seven steps.

Although inner strength could somewhat resist the effects of sedatives, the second-rate expert who was holding the Zhou family hostage was seriously injured.

Heavy injuries coupled with a sedative, if he still couldn’t kill the enemy, then his martial arts practice would have been in vain.

Thinking of the help Zhou Ze had given him over the years, Lu Yuan nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do it.”

“Good.” Zhou Ze’s face lit up with excitement, and he immediately said, “You should hide around my house first. At noon, I will need to prepare the medicine for that person, and I will seize the opportunity to add the sedative to the medicinal soup. Once he drinks it, I will blow the whistle, and you can burst in from the outside and eliminate the bandit.”

Dr. Zhou had been planning to get rid of the bandit for a long time. Right after Lu Yuan agreed, he immediately laid out a complete plan.

“No problem.”

Lu Yuan had no objections.

Although the plan was simple, it had to be admitted that it was quite effective, with a high chance of success.

Moreover, Zhou Ze was the one who proposed the plan, and since it pertained to the safety of his entire family, Lu Yuan believed that the doctor would not dare to be careless or negligent in this regard.

After finalizing the plan to eliminate the bandit, the two immediately went their separate ways.

Lu Yuan turned around and exited the medical clinic, glanced at the sky, and realized that there wasn’t much time left before noon.

He dared not delay any longer, so he went around to the alley behind the clinic, found a relatively concealed spot, and hid there, staring closely at the direction of the clinic’s backyard.

According to the agreement, when he heard the whistle from the backyard, he would barge in and kill the bandit holding the Zhou family hostage.

While waiting, Lu Yuan also began adjusting his Inner Qi, fine-tuning his state to Its pertect peak.

Even though the plan was to face an injured and drugged second-rate expert soon, which should not be difficult, one must still be cautious and vigilant when dealing with a second-rate expert.

‘Actually, the best way to deal with such people is not to get close, but to use a strong bow and crossbow to shoot from a distance. It’s a pity that we’re in the city now, and I cannot bring my Iron Body Bow with me, otherwise, a few arrows would save a lot of trouble.’

He sighed in his heart, regretful that he could not face the enemy with his best methods.

While Lu Yuan made his preparations, Dr. Zhou also began his own actions on the other side.

In the front hall, after Lu Yuan left, there were no more patients.

Zhou Ze then followed his usual routine and shut the door of the clinic, heading to the backyard through the back door.

The backyard of his house was quite large, with two sections.

The front section was full of various herbs drying in the sun, and there were several rooms on the side used for storing herbs.

In the back section, that was where the Zhou family’s living quarters were located.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a figure sitting at a stone table in front of him, who, upon hearing the noise, opened his eyes and looked over..
