Chapter 270: Father and Son Killing Each Other
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Ci said she loved Third Young Master and also loved Third Master. However, Pei Qiuying scoffed and firmly believed that she only liked Third Master. But if she didn’t like Third Young Master and didn’t envy Gu Ci, she wouldn’t think about killing Gu Ci.
Dissociative identity, one person with two souls, what did Third Young Master’s love, hate, and entanglements have to do with her?
However, too much attention made her focus on Third Young Master as well. He was a man whose attention was hard to divert once it was placed on him proud and dazzling.
He was different from Third Master, yet equally charismatic.
Pei Qiuying had some understanding of Third Master, but not enough about Third Young Master. She had originally planned to cultivate feelings for Third Young Master slowly after dealing with Gu Ci. She wanted Third Master, and she also wanted Third Young Master.
So, she investigated Third Young Master’s social connections and found out about his interests. For this, she even hired a coach to teach her racing. With her boldness, sharp mind, and the physical qualities of a secret agent, learning wasn’t too challenging for her. When she came to find Third Master, she hadn’t thought that he would demand her to race on the track, but she was prepared. If necessary, she would propose it herself. An eye for an eye, just as she wished!
Gu Ci and Qin Wan watched Pei Qiuying through binoculars and naturally noticed her triumphant smile.
“This woman changes her demeanor so quickly. One moment she’s playing the role of a submissive, and the next, she’s wicked and ruthless,” Qin Wan asked with interest, “Guess if Third Master had already anticipated that she would race, and he deliberately spared her. After all, if I were him, 1 wouldn’t kill Pei Qiuying just to fulfill the Shadow Master’s wish.”
“It doesn’t matter whether he wanted it or not!” Gu Ci said indifferently. At the 350-meter turn, Pei Qiuying gained the upper hand effortlessly. In the blink of an eye, Gu Ci had a plan, “Use the muffler, and when she’s on the turn, disable her!”
Just as Lu Zhiyuan had suffered, she wanted Pei Qiuying to experience the same!
“Got it!” Qin Wan snapped her fingers. Within 500 meters, Qin Wan didn’t need to observe with her hands; she had already locked onto Pei Qiuying, calculating the distance and wind speed, pinpointing the bullet’s trajectory.
Generally, sniper rifles had a particularly loud sound, and snipers wouldn’t use silencers. After all, sniping relied on precision, and a silencer would add weight to the rifle, affect the bullet’s speed, and reduce accuracy.
But shooting at a car, that was a different matter, considering the large target!
Fortune favored them, even in the midst of winter, the wind was calm and the sea was still!
Pei Qiuying accelerated as soon as she entered the track. In the first lap, she didn’t reach 300 km/h, but in the second lap, she suddenly sped up, reaching a speed of 350 km/h. When she approached the bend, she veered slightly but managed to regain control forcefully.
Li Jiang furrowed his brow, “Third Master, she’s had training!”
Though not a professional, she could handle one lap. Lu Zhiyuan remained silent. The Shadow Master of the Underground had delivered her to him, hoping to use her as a pawn. He never really wanted it to go his way.
Usually, he dug the pit, and others jumped into it. It was unheard of for someone else to dig the pit, and he would jump in!
As Pei Qiuying passed the last bend, a triumphant smile crossed her face. Lu Zhiyuan sensed something in the air—a scent of gunpowder, a sharpness that only those accustomed to high-pressure situations possessed. It was a kind of sensitivity that cut through the wind and threatened lives.
Qin Wan’s bullet was aimed at Pei Qiuying’s racing car, hitting her tire. Pei Qiuying was navigating the bend at the moment, making it difficult to control the car. As soon as the bullet struck, the front of the car turned, and it began to roll on the track, eventually crashing into the barrier.
Li Jiang exclaimed, “Holy crap!”
Why did Pei Qiuying suddenly flip her car? The suppressor on the rifle was of the latest model, significantly reducing the noise. Qin Wan and Gu Ci were on the upper floor, while Li Jiang and the others were downstairs, and they couldn’t hear the sniper rifle’s sound.
“Wow…” Qin Wan stood up and blew the smoke from the barrel, her posture striking and languid. “It’s a pity, with the suppressor, the accuracy dropped a bit, and the stopping power decreased!”
“Enough!” Gu Ci said coldly, “I wanted her to be shot, not killed!”
However, in that moment when Pei Qiuying’s car flipped, another bullet, equally cutting through the wind, was aimed at Lu Zhiyuan. The sniper on the opposite side was a precise shooter and hadn’t used a suppressor.
Lu Zhiyuan quickly stood up, and Li Jiang threw himself over, knocking him down. The bullet hit the wheelchair, and due to Lu Zhiyuan’s recent recovery from severe injuries, he couldn’t teleport. He looked in the direction from which the shot had come.
The bullet missed Lu Zhiyuan, and Gu Ci’s pupils shook violently. “Find them!”
Just as Qin Wan was about to bend down to search for the sniper in the opposite building, she suddenly pushed Gu Ci’s head down. A bullet pierced through the glass in front of them, shattering it. Qin Wan shielded Gu Ci with her body and said in a low voice, “Our location’s exposed. Let’s go!”
Gu Ci couldn’t risk peeking at Lu Zhiyuan again, but she hastily glanced, and it seemed that Lu Zhiyuan was okay. Qin Wan disassembled the sniper rifle, packed it up, and together with Gu Ci, they swiftly left the floor.
Gu Ci smashed the emergency equipment box in the fire escape and triggered the fire alarm. The entire building echoed with the alarm sound, and the crowded people rushed outside the building. Gu Ci and Qin Wan blended into the crowd, moving steadily downwards, heading directly for the underground parking lot.
Their motorcycle was parked in the underground parking lot, and the two quickly left the parking lot of the Global Center.
Inside the Global Center,
Lu Zhiyuan spoke in a solemn tone, “Find the person responsible!”
“Yes!” Li Jiang immediately dispatched personnel to search for the sniper. There were four buildings around the Global Center track, labeled ABCD, and three smaller buildings as well. The bullet that had been fired at Lu Zhiyuan had come from Building C.
Though the sniper who had targeted Pei Qiuying had a suppressor on the rifle, Lu Zhiyuan could tell it had come from Building A. Li Jiang immediately sent people to Building C. Lu Zhiyuan’s bodyguards didn’t care about who wanted to kill Pei Qiuying; they only cared about who wanted to kill Lu Zhiyuan.
“Third Master, are you okay?”
Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand and looked in the direction where Pei Qiuying’s car had flipped. “Call an ambulance!”
“Understood!”
Li Jiang went to call for an ambulance. There had been a serious accident on the track, and the Imperial Dynasty racing team’s medical team also arrived. They began providing emergency assistance to Pei Qiuying. Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the wheelchair with a deep, concentrated gaze. He wasn’t concerned about whether Pei Qiuying lived or died; tonight, three bullets had been fired on the track, and he intended to investigate each one thoroughly.
With a stern face, Lu Zhiyuan returned to the Global Center’s upper floor. “Li Jiang, what’s the security situation? Why were there two groups of assassins inside the Global Center?”
Li Jiang was sweating profusely and appeared very anxious. “Third Master, our regular security covers Building A. Buildings B, C, and D are office buildings with mixed personnel. It’s difficult to screen everyone. Since the inception of the Global Center, there has never been a shooting incident. This incident is definitely suspicious. Give me some time, and I’ll get to the bottom of it!” “Within a day, 1 want results!”
“Yes!”
The impact of this incident was extremely negative, and Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t expected someone to dare to make a move on his turf. The Shadow Master of the Underground had used radical and risky methods. This didn’t seem like the actions of someone who was secure and composed in their position.
He and Pei Qiuying had enmity between them, and if something happened to her on his turf, whether she lived or died, it would be attributed to him. The relationship between the Underground and Black Hawk had deteriorated to this point.. Black Hawk had nothing to lose, but the Underground was a different story!
