Chapter 271: Father and Son Killing Each Other (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pei Qiuying deeply captures the hearts of people. If she were to die on his turf, it would solidify all the grudges within the underworld while deepening the resentment towards Chen Rush!. The fear of Chen Rushi’s potential betrayal is fake, and joining forces to divide the underworld is true.
Furthermore, this move also created a rift between him and Pei Qiuying. If she didn’t die in this ordeal, whether her surrender was sincere or feigned, after that shot, any remaining fantasies Pei Qiuying had about Lu Zhiyuan would shatter.
With Pei Qiuying in his hands, she had truly become a pawn. Abandoned by both the underworld and Black Hawk, no one can predict what she will do.
The shadow master of the underworld has blocked all of Pei Qiuying’s escape routes!
Apart from Chen Rushi, it was the shadow master of the underworld.
But who fired this shot?
In the Ministry of State Security, Gu Ziyu tampered with surveillance footage all the way, helping Chen Fei escape from the Global Center. After changing into medical attire, Chen Fei became a doctor and left with an ambulance unknown to anyone!
Gu Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Fei left the ambulance midway, and someone was waiting by the road to assist. He swiftly returned to the safehouse in silence. Gu Ziyu asked, “You didn’t harm Lu Zhiyuan, did you?”
“Don’t worry, I’m very precise,” Chen Fei said. “I aimed accurately and didn’t miss. But there were snipers at the scene, disguised as women. I fired a shot at them, and Baby can watch the surveillance footage of Building A.”
No one expected that the sniper sent to target Lu Zhiyuan was Gu Ziyu himself!
Moreover, his actions were approved by Chen Liangdong.
“Besides you, there were other snipers?” Gu Ziyu was surprised. He searched the surveillance footage of Building A, but Gu Ci’s actions were also covered by someone.
In this high-tech era, every operation has the cover of information and the Black Hawk Eye System was very comprehensive. At the moment when Gu Ci and Qin Wan left, all records had been deleted.
Gu Ziyu stared at the surveillance footage and immediately realized it had been tampered with. The images were chaotic, filled with excessive noise, and restoring them seemed highly unlikely. He furrowed his brow, then attempted to access the camera records from around Building A at the Global Center, only to find that there were no recordings for the missing three minutes. All traces had been erased.
Chen Fei said, “The other side is well-trained. As soon as I discovered them, they withdrew immediately and triggered a fire alarm to create chaos. Their marksmanship is precise, and a sniper who can shoot so accurately even with a silencer usually has a record with the MSS.”
Like skilled hackers, they also have records. Exceptional talents in certain fields are all recorded by MSS, making them easy to trace.
“They shot at Pei Qiuying…” Gu Ziyu narrowed his eyes. “You say it was them… two women?”
“Yes!”
“I see!” Gu Ziyu raised an eyebrow, his tone lightened. “The plan had a minor glitch, but it’s still a success. Well done! Take a day off, and I’ll handle the rest!”
Chen Liangdong entered the surveillance room, reviewed the entire footage, including all of Chen Fei’s actions, which were under Gu Ziyu’s watch. Chen Liangdong furrowed his brow, “There were other snipers at the scene?”
“It’s likely the shadow master of the underworld, and Chen Fei has already completed the mission,” Gu Ziyu replied. Sending Chen Fei to kill Lu Zhiyuan was his proposal, and Chen Liangdong had approved the plan. “After this shot, Pei Qiuying’s escape routes have all been cut off. If she wants to survive, she will definitely come to us for protection, and to seek refuge, she must provide valuable information.”
Gu Ziyu was gradually exhibiting the demeanor of a great strategist, and his methods, though unconventional, saved a lot of manpower and resources. Moreover, it didn’t involve actual killings. Chen Liangdong had already given his approval for the operation.
Gu Ziyu wanted to turn Pei Qiuying to their side. They knew very little about Black Hawk and the underworld, and Pei Qiuying was the one who understood them the most.
“Will your method work?” Chen Liangdong asked.
Gu Ziyu was a principled person. Even though he knew that Gu Ci was handling the affairs of the underworld’s dark web on behalf of Jiang Junlin, he didn’t mention it. He also knew that his father was the leader of Black Hawk, but he had never asked him to reveal anything. He wanted to solve these matters on his own, representing the stance of MSS.
He wasn’t the son of Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci!
“Lu Zhiyuan trained Pei Qiuying for several years, and her father was the previous leader, who was killed by the shadow master. So, Pei Qiuying can’t be truly loyal to the underworld. She has been with them for many years and understands them well. Whether it’s recruiting her or treating them as enemies, we need not only understanding but also to provoke their internal conflicts. After this shot, Lu Zhiyuan can’t use Pei Qiuying for any more tasks, and Pei Qiuying can’t trust Lu Zhiyuan anymore. She has no way out!”
Gu Ziyu had analyzed this for Chen Liangdong long before, so the operation was approved. “We must handle this with caution. Without concrete evidence, we can’t harm anyone.”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Ziyu raised an eyebrow. “I wouldn’t dare.”
Killing one’s own father was something that would invite divine retribution!
Qin Wan drove with Gu Ci and stopped on the side of the road about five kilometers away from the Global Center. They had removed their masks, revealing their true faces, and discarded their equipment in a passing garbage truck.
“It’s been quite an exciting night!” Qin Wan took a long breath, her emotions fluctuating. “Aren’t you worried at all about whether the Third Master would get hurt?”
“C Building is closer to the racetrack than us, and at such a short distance, with Lu Zhiyuan in a wheelchair, the target was his wheelchair, not him. So, there’s no need to worry!” Gu Ci had confirmed this before leaving. “The one who fired this shot was cutting off Lu Zhiyuan’s escape route. People within the underworld knew that Pei Qiuying was meeting Lu Zhiyuan, and it would damage her reputation. It’s a three birds with one stone situation, not an attempt on Lu Zhiyuan’s life.”
“So many calculations behind an assassination!” Qin Wan remarked. “Do you think he might believe that it was our underworld’s dark web trying to kill him?”
“You remind me,” Gu Ci chuckled. “Let’s send someone to fake the scene. I want Lu Zhiyuan to think that it was the underworld’s dark web after his life.”
Gu Ci and Qin Wan were more at ease together. “With my brother’s life hanging in the balance and Ji Chi being so reckless, I’m doing a carpet search to force him to make a move. After all, being too passive won’t help my brother take action. If we keep sending assassins to disturb and kill Lu Zhiyuan, what then?” “He’s still recovering from serious injuries, so he’ll be cautious and might even let his master go!”
Gu Ci snapped his fingers. “Yes, my path has become narrower. Because of my special relationship with Lu Zhiyuan, I haven’t been able to make a move against him. If I were to take his place, my first act would be to kill Lu Zhiyuan! After his identity was exposed, the underworld’s dark web hasn’t caused him any trouble yet.”
“I understand!” Qin Wan said. “I’ll handle this!”
Gu Ci stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the night. He didn’t feel comfortable handing this matter over to someone else.
“You can injure, but not kill!”
