What Li Tongxi said was right, Xiu Er and the rest were just two people with Miao Boundary, and this time they might not be the entire meaning of Miao Boundary.

Just them alone were already able to cause such a huge commotion, and had even almost forced Shi Lei to sacrifice his own life. If in the future, his Miao Boundary would truly be completely suppressed, to the point of wanting to ruthlessly attack Chinese medicine.

At that time, the traditional Chinese medicine in the Central Plains would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of pressure.

Previously, Shi Lei thought that he created this Chinese Medical Association just to integrate the strength of the entire nation's traditional Chinese medicine and create better medicines to gain more benefits. But now, it seemed that it was extremely necessary.

This was not just a matter of money, but also a matter of survival.

"Do you still not know who the person who told you to come here is?"

"I don't know."

Li Tongxi shook her head and said, "Ever since we met that time, I've never seen him again."

Looking at Li Tongxi's indifferent eyes, Shi Lei knew that she wasn't speaking the truth. Even if he did have a special identity, with Li Tongxi's personality, he could just say a few words and he was already alone. No one said anything about coming to the Jiangling to carry out a mission.

Shi Lei would never believe such a reason.

However, he still chose to trust Li Tongxi. If she didn't say anything, Shi Lei wouldn't pursue the matter further.

Shi Lei let out a long sigh, then said: "Let's go, we'll sneak in and see if Xiu Er and the others are still there."

The Gu Worm had already been completely destroyed, and even if there were only one or two remaining, it was nothing surprising for the entire Jiangling.

But this time, Shi Lei wanted to capture Xiu Er and the others with his own hands.

The commotion in the vicinity of the villa earlier had attracted a lot of people, thinking about it, the actions of over a hundred people chasing after Shi Lei was huge, it would be weird if no one was around.

When Shi Lei returned, the villa was already devoid of anything. All the traces of Xiu Er and the others existence had already disappeared.

"Where did he go?"

Shi Lei was a little disappointed.

Li Tongxi said very calmly: "They might have already left. This time, they have been waiting for a long time for a plan, but they don't have any plans. The Miao Boundary people definitely won't let them stay outside for too long.

Shi Lei was actually a little regretful. If he had been just a little bit earlier, he might have been able to find Xiu Er and the others who were hiding behind the scenes.

After searching around the entire villa, only then did Shi Lei see the already dead Xu Tai lying in the corner of the backyard.

Because he was killed by the Gu Worm, not a single piece of Xu Tai's skin was intact, and all of it was corroded beyond recognition.

Li Tongxi could not help but frown, but she did not say anything, and only looked at Shi Lei and said: "How do we deal with this?"

This was a person that he had saved before, although he did not listen to his advice, and was somehow taken away by Xiu Er and the others, but he had already left this world, and Shi Lei did not want him to stay either, so he shook his head and said: "Let's just help him cremate his body, and settle it in the ground."

The cause of death of Xu Tai was rather special, and Shi Lei did not know how to send it over openly. He could only ask Lin Qiumo to find someone from the Jiangling to deal with it.

After hearing Shi Lei's voice, it was as if Lin Qiumo had gasped for breath as she said slowly: "It's good that you're fine. Leave this matter to me.

Shi Lei did not know whether to laugh or cry and said to Lin Qiumo who was on the phone: "What, you thought that I would die, don't worry, if I died, why would I ask for your help in cremation?"

Lin Qiumo smiled coquettishly, told Shi Lei to hurry back to the capital, and hung up the phone.

Carrying Xu Tai's body, Shi Lei and Li Tongxi returned to the carriage, feeling the movements just now, the driver thought that something would happen to Shi Lei, but he never expected that not only did he return safely, he even brought two people with him.

Well, one living, one dead.

However, the driver knew what to say at this point. After they settled down, he asked: "President Shi, where are we going now?"

"crematorium."

If Xu Tai did not finish off the follow-up work, Shi Lei's heart would never be able to calm down.

Because Lin Qiumo had called before, when Shi Lei and the others arrived at the crematorium, there were already staff members waiting for them.

After everything was settled, Shi Lei and Li Tongxi came to the side of the famous River Bridge. Looking at the scene on the river surface, they sighed emotionally and said: "Has it been a long time since we have been like this?"

Li Tongxi's expression had finally eased up quite a bit, but she was still extremely cold.

She nodded her head and said softly, "The feeling of the river wind is not bad too."

For the past few days, it was the first time the two of them had been able to have a good rest. Although the matter of Miao Boundary had come to an end, it was unknown when they would make a comeback.

"Did you know? When he was at the Red Cliff Mountain of Yu City, the dignified Medical Sage almost died.

Regardless of whether it was Zi Yangshu or Yin Yang Zhenren, they both posed a great threat to him.

Li Tongxi did not speak, and only held Shi Lei's hand tighter.

Xiu Er and the rest had disappeared. Shi Lei had searched for many places but to no avail, so he could only prepare to return to the capital first. If there was anything he needed to do with Jiangling, he could come back later.

However, Li Tongxi did not follow Shi Lei back. Using her own words, it was the same even in the capital, as her mission had not ended yet.

Shi Lei knew Li Tongxi's personality very well. Although the two of them did not need to talk about their feelings, since it was her decision, Shi Lei could not change his mind.

He left Li Tongxi with a lot of medicinal herbs. Just in case, Shi Lei did not let him see him off and returned to the capital alone.

Tong Xiaoxiao had already returned home. She had been busy with work a few days ago, and coincidentally, Shi Lei had a lot of things to do, so the two of them did not contact each other.

However, when Shi Lei returned to the capital, he still saw the thing that Tong Xiaoxiao had left him.

"Brother Shi, I'll go back first. Although I don't know what's going on with you, I believe you'll be fine. After you see this letter, remember to call me. I'll come to the capital to play with you after I finish my work."

His tone of voice was still as mischievous as ever, and he knew that it was Tong Xiaoxiao's words the moment he saw it. Shi Lei smiled slightly and placed the letter inside his own bookcase.
