Chapter 496: The Visitor is Gu Dongxing
A girl chimed in, "We didnât hit him that hard, maybe he was already sick, it wasnât us who killed him!"
As soon as she said this, someone else agreed, "Iâve heard that people with heart disease canât stand frights."
Hearing what the girls were saying, the real murderer, Nan Mengyu, was struck by an idea. She used her Divine Sense to examine Jiang Haidong, only to find his heart was perfectly healthy and wouldnât succumb to heart disease.
However, just because he didnât have heart disease, didnât mean it couldnât be fabricated.
Nan Mengyu used a fraction of her spiritual power to control a bit of Evil Qi, sending it into his body to create a defect in his heart.
That way, upon examination, it would appear there was something wrong with his heart.
Thus, the conclusion that Jiang Haidong had joined the Human Trafficking Group, kidnapped women under the guise of offering jobs, and died of a heart attack when his conspiracy was uncovered, came to be.
As for the beating by the girls, that was solely out of frustration after being deceived, unrelated to his death.
Nan Mengyu, using the girls unwittingly, killed Jiang Haidong, handled everything inside the car, and then focused all her attention on Wang Huilan.
At this moment, someone had heeded Lao Sanâs threats and driven a small car over.
Nan Mengyu was surprised to find that the driver was none other than Gu Dongxing! It seemed that he must have summoned the military police.
Nan Mengyu knew that given Lao Sanâs ruthlessness, regardless of whether the person delivered the car to Lao San, or did as Lao San demanded and drove away, it was extremely dangerous.
Because if he wanted the car, for his own safety, he would shoot the person bringing the car;
If he wanted both the person and the car, forcing the person to drive away, in order to prevent the driver from exposing his whereabouts, he would still shoot the driver.
Others driving might not reassure Gu Dongxing, hence, he came personally.
Nan Mengyu was inwardly furious: With her here today, Gu Dongxing wouldnât be in danger, but was this how he always recklessly put himself in danger?
Currently, Gu Dongxing was using the Concealing Breath Technique she taught him very effectively, appearing like an ordinary soldier without any internal or external power.
This was merely to lower Lao Sanâs guard.
However, as soon as the car approached Lao San, and Gu Dongxing had barely stopped, Lao San dropped Wang Huilan and shot at Gu Dongxingâwho was still at the driverâs seatâhe genuinely trusted no one.
Almost simultaneously with Lao San firing, Gu Dongxing burst through the windshield towards Lao San. He didnât fire back because right behind Lao San was a van full of kidnapped women. He didnât want to hurt the innocent,
Nan Mengyu truly didnât expect both to act without speaking a word. One fired upon raising his weapon, the other didnât even waste time opening the door, just lunged at his opponent.
However, he was just a fraction of a second faster than Lao Sanâs shot, so the bullet aimed at his head hit his raised fist instead.
But the bullet fired at Gu Dongxing seemed to be sentient, hesitating slightly, its force diminished, merely ricocheting off Gu Dongxingâs fist and fell to the ground.
Nan Mengyu kept an eye on Lao San, waiting for him to make a move.
She too wanted to personally kill Lao San, but didnât want to expose herself, so she could only use someone elseâs hand to execute him.
As long as he made a move, Gu Dongxing would certainly counterattack, and then, she could intervene to exact her revenge.
As for whether Lao San might hurt Gu Dongxing, she wasnât worried at all, because Gu Dongxing was already an innate master, capable of releasing his inner Qi, and although he couldnât form a defensive shield like her, he could still use his inner Qi to block a bullet.
Indeed, as soon as Lao San fired, a flash of white light appeared on Gu Dongxingâs fist, confirming that he had released his inner Qi to block the bullets.
