Listening to their conversation, Gao Liqun shuddered.
He knew very well that if he continued to lie here, it wouldn’t be long before he would be killed just like the other dead martial artists.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Liqun circulated his inner breath in his body, and the inner force in his dantian suddenly erupted.
Xu Wenping had used a silver needle to seal his acupuncture points. Now, he wanted to use his internal energy to force the silver needles out.
His internal strength surged out like a great river, flowing through his meridians.
Gao Liqun raised his eyebrows when he saw his internal energy flow to the position of the silver needle. He gritted his teeth and his internal energy suddenly rushed forward and collided with the silver needle.
Because the force of the collision was too great, the silver needle had pierced into the acupoint to a certain depth. Therefore, under the collision, Gao Liqun’s body trembled.
Then, a surge of internal strength directly rushed through the silver needle and bounced it away.
Even though the silver needle had bounced off, blood was still flowing down from the corner of Gao Liqun’s mouth.
Forcefully opening his acupoint had damaged his veins.
But now, he couldn’t care less about that.
After opening one acupoint, Gao Liqun took a deep breath and used his internal energy to open the second acupoint that was sealed by the silver needles.
The two silver needles had been washed away, and Gao Liqun could already move.
With a slight turn of his body, he had already rolled into the grass at the side and rolled down the slope.
He didn’t roll fast, and because he was afraid of making a sound, he rolled for a while before stopping to calm down.
The three people on the hill were still dealing with the paralyzed martial artists.
His body finally rolled into the grass below, and his sounds could no longer reach the pavilion at the top of the mountain.
Gao Liqun immediately jumped up and swept his gaze in the direction of the pavilion.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He couldn’t help but growl, “Xu Wenping, you d*mn thing. You actually do one thing face to face and another thing behind your back. I will definitely fight you to the death.”
As he spoke, he turned around.
However, after taking a few steps, he could not help but stop.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
“It seems… Something’s not right!”
He raised his head again and looked in the direction of the pavilion.
“I escaped so easily, and… they’re already masked, so why are they still talking and shouting Xu Wenping’s name?”
Thinking of this, Gao Liqun could not help but touch his chest.
“Killing someone with a borrowed knife. It must be like this.”
His face darkened and he clenched his fists. “The Su family. The Su family must have done something big. If it wasn’t for the fear of being seen, why would they cover their faces and say Xu Wenping’s name? Hehe! You’re trying to cover it up, aren’t you?”
Thinking of this, Gao Liqun frowned deeply.
After thinking it through, he knew that he might have wronged Xu Wenping.
But even if he was wrong, so what?
Xu Wenping was the instigator. If it wasn’t for him, how could today’s incident have happened?
After thinking about it, Gao Liqun decided to go back to his family and tell the higher-ups of the Su family about today’s incident. Then, they would decide what to do next based on the situation.
As for the Su family, Gao Liqun felt that it was better to leave them alone for the time being.
They couldn’t offend them, nor could they get too close to them. Everything would be fine as long as he let fate take its course.
When he thought of the word ‘fate,’ he couldn’t help but sneer. Then, he turned around and left.
His figure became smaller and smaller until he finally disappeared.
As for the three people under the pavilion, they had already finished everything.
“Let’s go.” The leader sneered when they gathered everything together again. “We’re still moving fast.”
“Will he believe us?”
“It’s hard to say. It doesn’t matter whether he believes it or not. As long as he has a certain idea in his heart, it’s fine.”
“Hehehe… I hope he really hates Xu Wenping and will fight to the death with him.”
“Alright! Don’t continue. Be careful that the walls have ears.”
The three of them packed up and left the pavilion on the West Mountain.
At this moment, Xu Wenping did not know what had happened.
He slowly walked down the West Mountain and headed straight for his car.
After getting into the car and starting it, Xu Wenping planned to drive away.
However…
At this moment, he suddenly discovered a problem. There was a slight ‘ticking’ sound coming from under the car seat.
Shocked, Xu Wenping immediately bent down to check.
Sure enough, when he bent down to take a look, he immediately found a time bomb under the seat.
Obviously, someone had tampered with his car.
Xu Wenping immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
He didn’t dismantle the time bomb, but turned to check the other parts of the car.
The time bomb would explode in about ten minutes.
As for the other problems with the car, Xu Wenping soon discovered them.
“So powerful.”
Xu Wenping stared at the brakes of his car, and the muscles on his face could not help but twitch twice.
The other party had obviously prepared two things. One was a time bomb, and the other was a brake failure.
They had two plans. As long as one of them was realized, he, Xu Wenping, might be taken away.
Pursing his lips, Xu Wenping thought for a moment. In the end, he reached out and dismantled the time bomb.
To him, dismantling a bomb was nothing.
Some people would be surprised by his ability, but Xu Wenping was very confident.
The skill to defuse the bomb was actually given to Xu Wenping by the system in a hidden way not long after it was activated by the system.
At that time, Xu Wenping didn’t pay much attention to it. However, things that he didn’t care about would often be triggered at the critical moment, giving him an unexpected surprise.
After the bomb was removed, Xu Wenping went to repair the brakes.
This task wasn’t too complicated, so he quickly fixed the car’s brakes.
The car returned to normal, and the bomb that had been defused did not explode.
Xu Wenping got back into the car and started the engine, heading toward the city.
The car wasn’t too fast, and Xu Wenping’s gaze swept around.
He was looking for some clues, but he realized that he had been careless.
Ever since he had ascended the mountain, there seemed to be a force following him step by step.
The assassinations demonstrated Su Chengren’s unsparing efforts.
Wild Wolf’s assassination and the car being tampered with seemed to indicate that there were more assassinations coming.
Therefore, Xu Wenping had to pay more attention now.
“Su Chengren, it looks like you’re planning to give me a very big gift.”
Xu Wenping smiled coldly and muttered to himself as he drove, “But you seem to think too simply of me..”
