Send You To Your Death

Flower City, the Lunatic Asylum. Clang! A loud bang sounded as the heavy ward door slammed open. A sinister-looking old man in white walked in first with a cold smile on his lips. He was Zhang Chao, the captain of the bodyguards of the Fang family, an influential family in the capital. In the ward, a young man in a hospital gown and slippers was sitting on a chair. He crossed his legs and was leisurely flipping through a book, as if he did not notice Zhang Chao who had barged in.

"Young Master Fang, how have you been?

Old Madam asked me to send you to your death!"

Only then did Fang Qiu slowly raise his head and glance indifferently at the person who had entered the room. A glint flashed across his eyes that was barely noticeable by others. Six years ago, he was still the young master of the Fang family who was deeply doted on by Old Master Fang. Not only did the old master make arrangements for his engagement to the daughter of the wealthy Ye family in the capital, but he also appointed him as the next head of the Fang family.

However, the good times did not last long. Old Master Fang suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away. Old Madam Fang began to take charge of the Fang family. Unlike his grandfather who thought highly of Fang Qiu, Old Madam Fang had never liked Fang Qiu because his mother was born a commoner and had a lowly bloodline. As soon as Old Master Fang died, Old Madam Fang openly went against the will that Old Master Fang had made when he was alive and kicked Fang Qiu and his mother out of the house. Even so, the Fang family did not intend to let Fang Qiu off.

One night, when a drunk Fang Qiu woke up, there was an unfamiliar woman beside him. He was falsely accused of raping that woman and the scandal created quite a stir at the time. After that, Old Madam Fang found out that it was her own people who had set it up, but for the sake of her prestige, she made a public announcement that Fang Qiu had mental health issues. She arranged for him to be sent to the most renowned mental hospital in Flower City—the Lunatic Asylum. Those who were admitted were all deemed to be unable to recover. For the sake of the public's safety, the security here was as tight as any prison, or even worse. To this day, not a single person left the hospital alive.

In a plea for leniency, his mother knelt in front of the Fang residence for three days and three nights. She fell critically ill and finally passed away. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Now, Fang Qiu was the first patient in the hospital who met all the conditions for psychiatric discharge and was allowed to leave. He didn't expect that Old Madam Fang would receive the news and still would not let him off!

Fang Qiu's expression remained the same. Without looking up, he said calmly, "Send me to my death. I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of fierce-looking men in black rushed into the ward, armed with iron rods and machetes.

"Do it…"

As he spoke, Zhang Chao waved his hand. Immediately, a burly man in black stepped forward and smashed Fang Qiu's head with an iron rod. Zhang Chao smiled coldly. After completing this mission, Old Madam Fang would definitely be overjoyed and reward him generously! However, he did not hear the sound of bones shattering that he had expected.

Zhang Chao looked up and was instantly dumbfounded. Fang Qiu's book was on his knee, and he was leisurely flipping through it with his left hand. The iron rod was clamped between two fingers of his right hand, and it was as steady as a rock. The black-clothed man's face was red, and he could neither retract it nor force it down. What is going on? Zhang Chao rubbed his eyes and suspected that he was mistaken. Isn't Fang Qiu a weak scholar? But now…

Bang! Fang Qiu let go of the iron rod, which slammed into the black-clothed man's head. He staggered a few steps back, his vision darkening as he passed out.

"Trash! You can't even deal with a piece of trash." Zhang Chao was furious. With a flick of his wrist, a sharp dagger appeared in his palm.

Whoosh! In a flash, Zhang Chao was in front of Fang Qiu. He pointed his dagger at him in a ferocious and overbearing strike. The guards cheered, their eyes filled with admiration! Captain Zhang is indeed powerful! His strike is like a thunderclap on the ground, and he has the demeanor of a white-robed immortal swordsman! The mocking smile on Zhang Chao's face gradually spread, and his eyes were filled with the anticipation of the Old Madam Fang's reward. He no longer paid attention to Fang Qiu. In his eyes, Fang Qiu was about to die!

Fang Qiu was as still as a mountain. His face was expressionless as he slowly raised his fair right hand. Crack! Zhang Chao's body flew backward and slammed into the wall.

"What a show-off!" Fang Qiu glanced at Zhao Chao indifferently and started reading again. In an instant, the entire place fell silent. The Fang family guards, who had been mocking and ridiculing him just now, were like ducks that had been strangled. Speechless, they stared with wide-eyed astonishment at Fang Qiu, who had never left his chair.

Zhang Chao's face was red and swollen like a pig's head. There was a faint trickle of blood in the corner of his mouth. He looked pathetic. He pointed at Fang Qiu like a wild beast and roared, "Kill him, kill him…"

No sooner had Zhang Chao uttered those words than a strong, hard, angry voice could be heard. At that moment, two shots rang out, and two burly men in the lead fell in a pool of blood. "Let's see who moves."

Zhang Chao was completely stunned. More than a dozen soldiers with submachine guns rushed in and aimed their guns at the Fang family guards. A middle-aged man walked over with a dour expression. The four golden stars on his epaulet shone brightly. Zhang Chao and the other Fang family guards trembled. The Fang family was one of the top elite families in the capital. As the captain of the Fang family's guards, Zhang Chao was used to seeing all kinds of situations. However, facing more than a dozen ruthless soldiers at this moment, a chill ran down his spine and he couldn't help trembling slightly.

Zhang Chao suppressed the fear in his heart and licked his dry lips. In a trembling voice, he said, "General, we… we are the bodyguards of the Fang family in the capital…" He deliberately emphasized the words 'the Fang family in the capital'. The profound meaning behind them was obvious.

The middle-aged man glanced coldly at Zhang Chao. His sharp and cold gaze made Zhang Chao shudder involuntarily. He swallowed the rest of his words. Ignoring Zhang Chao, the middle-aged man quickly walked to Fang Qiu and saluted him respectfully.

"Chen Jun, Commander of the Divine Martial Camp, greets the Dragon Marshal!"

Zhang Chao was stupefied. Dragon Marshal? He did not understand what these two words meant, but just by looking at the middle-aged man's attitude, it was obvious that they meant a lot. Even a four-star general was so respectful to Fang Qiu. So what is Fang Qiu's identity? He could not help but shiver again.

Fang Qiu closed the book and looked up at the middle-aged man. He said calmly, "I've already resigned. Don't call me Dragon Marshal in the future! Also, in Flower City, I don't want any living person to know my identity except you." He glanced at Zhang Chao, who felt his scalp tingle.

Chen Jun knew that Dragon Marshal liked to keep a low profile, so he gave the order firmly. "Take them all away!"

Thereupon, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up and dragged Zhang Chao and the others out of the ward like they were dead dogs. In the blink of an eye, the lively cell became quiet again.

"Dragon… Mr. Fang, should we use the organization in the capital to crush them directly?"

Fang Qiu waved his hand. "I want to handle this matter personally!" As he spoke, he stood up, and a hint of killing intent flashed across his cold eyes. It had been six years. Some matters should be settled now.
