Chapter 695: Accidentally Fallen for a Trap
Gu Yuanli and the group walked towards the back, and suddenly, the entire manor lit up brightly. No one knew who had stepped on the trigger and triggered the alarm, and the alarm sirens wailed loudly in the air all around the Gu Manor.
Near the Gu Manor, the silent guardians and Mu Yuan’s agents grabbed their weapons and got ready.
Mu Yuan slapped a sniper hard. “Told you not to step on it, not to step on it! Is your leg itchy?”
Second Old Master Gu was very calm. Behind him, in the Gu Manor, the alarm wailed loudly. Ah Xi broke into a cold sweat. In the past twenty odd years, this was the second time someone had trespassed and stepped on the trigger line around the outside.
Mu Yuan took out his documents. “I am a major from the Eagle team of the Special Forces. Mu Yuan, I have received orders to capture someone. Are you… Mr. Gu Chun?”
Second Old Master Gu was indeed a man who had seen much and had gotten used to mishaps. Ghost City worked with both the legal and dark sides of society to earn profits. Yet, they seldom committed any crimes. Even if they did, they were mostly crimes against other criminal syndicates, and they would never kill people lightly or run from taxes. Although the casino was against the law, they had connections with the legal authorities, so he could not think of any crimes he had committed.
Or, in other words, what crime had Gu Yuanli committed?
Others had stepped foot on the territory in the Gu Manor so openly and even brought proof forward.
He frowned and took Mu Yuan’s document calmly.
There were three camouflage stripes on Major Mu Yuan’s face, making his charismatic face seem very expressionless. The agents behind him had sharp and heavy eyes. Second Old Master Gu raised his hand and signaled for the silent guardians to put their guns away.
He was just about to say, “No matter what crime I had committed, my wife cannot be harmed.” However, before that, Mu Yuan squinted. “Mr. Gu, I would like to know where your silent guardians got their guns from?”
In the nation, it was illegal to bear arms.
The gun restrictions were very strict.
Mu Yuan felt odd. You are a middle-aged man with many silent guards around you. There are even trigger lines outside the manor. This is too worthy of suspicion.
Ye Ling had long predicted the identity of the owner of Ghost City. Before he was sure of that person’s identity, he did not tell Mu Yuan about it. At this moment, Mu Yuan was at a loss.
The old man in front of him clearly did not look like an honest civilian.
“Their guns have been legally documented. If you do not believe me, you can check with the authorities. Even I, myself, have a permit to bear arms.” Second Old Master Gu replied.
Mu Yuan cursed inwardly. Pfft, he has connections!
If he did not have connections, who would issue him permits to bear arms?
“What crime have I exactly…”
“Fine. We shall not press on with this issue. May I ask if I am allowed to enter to arrest someone?”
Second Old Master Gu was speechless.
You have trespassed so openly into my house, yet you are not here for me?
“Who are you here for? This is private property, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Everyone in there is from the Gu Family.”
“A woman!” Mu Yuan replied.
“In the whole Gu Manor, my wife is the only woman here.” Second Old Master Gu thought of the three ladies behind Gu Yuanli. Could this major be here to capture those ladies? Who are they?
“No. Black Rose is there too!” Mu Yuan took out his laptop. “The tracking device tells me that she’s right in front.”
Mu Yuan waved and led the people into the Gu Manor without another word from Second Old Master Gu.
At the front.
The alarm had rung, and Gu Yuanli squinted. “What’s going on?”
“Second Master, someone from the mountain behind has stepped on the trigger line.”
“Dad, Mom…” Gu Yuanli turned around suddenly and looked towards the direction of the mountain at the back. Yet, at the entrance, there was the sound of cars approaching loudly.
