Chapter 16 Are you looking for me?
With one hand bandaged, Li Jie quickly opened a website with the other, and after entering a series of key passwords and facial verification, he...
A website called Dark Rain appeared on the computer screen.
Dark Rain, the world's number one assassin organization, with influence spanning the entire globe.
It's said that as long as the money is right, there's no one they can't kill.
In the mission list, Li Jie quickly found the assassination mission he had posted. When he clicked on it, it was indeed shown that it had been accepted by a Dark Rain 3-star assassin.
Li Jie then clicked to enter Erlangxiao's personal homepage.
You can see that he has carried out more than forty missions with a 100% success rate.
No further information is available.
"With a 100% success rate, he should be able to succeed, right?"
"Even if he fails, he probably won't expose me, right?"
Li Jie kept comforting himself.
At the same time, inside the Huangjia Manor villa in Jiangzhou City.
Huanglong's father was dressed in a black Tang suit, holding a dragon-headed wooden staff, and his cold eyes were frightening.
Behind him, more than a dozen bodyguards in black stood in neat rows, while an elderly man in a gray training uniform sat calmly drinking tea.
"Master of the house, master of the house."
"The news came back that the police wouldn't let us bring the body back."
"It's said that the case has been taken over by the Dragon Shadow Guard."
"Dragon Shadow Guard?"
Upon hearing these three words, a strange expression flashed across the face of the old man drinking tea.
"I, Huang Changhe, have lived most of my life."
"A son and a daughter bring family prosperity."
"I never imagined that I, an old man, would outlive my son before I even turned old."
"Find him for me, you must find him for me."
"If I don't kill this man, I swear I'm not a human being."
"Boom!"
With a forceful pull of both hands, Huang Changhe's dragon-headed cane shattered inch by inch, causing cracks to appear on the ground.
This scene left his bodyguards behind him speechless.
They already knew that Huang Changhe was a martial artist who had been training under a master, and that the family business had long been handed over to his son.
But what they didn't expect was that Huang Changhe had become so powerful.
With that kind of strength, his power is probably no weaker than that of the one-eyed man.
After a night of cultivation, Gu Lingchen's cultivation level improved once again.
The most important thing right now is to help Su Qianxue develop spiritual roots so that she can embark on the path of cultivation.
Once she begins cultivating, Su Qianxue's memories from her previous life will gradually return.
Creating a spiritual root capable of bearing spiritual power is extremely difficult, even three thousand years ago it required a great price.
Cultivating spiritual roots is tantamount to defying fate and changing one's destiny.
Countless rare and precious materials are needed, the most important of which is the support of powerful spiritual energy.
"Gu Lingchen, are you awake?"
Su Qianxue's voice rang out from outside the door.
As she opened the door, Su Qianxue looked at Gu Lingchen with gratitude and joy in her eyes. She had fallen asleep very late last night, and the image that appeared when she closed her eyes was Gu Lingchen rescuing her and carrying her out of the steel factory.
This was the first time in Su Qianxue's life that someone had become so deeply ingrained in her mind.
She felt happy whenever she thought of Gu Lingchen.
"Gu Lingchen, my mom must be very worried about me since I didn't go home last night. She just called me."
"I have a day off today, so I'm going back to see my mom."
"Will you... wait for me to come home?"
"Don't worry, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen gently reached out and lightly touched Su Qianxue's brow. A golden light flowed into Su Qianxue's body without her noticing.
This was a sword aura from Gu Lingchen, which automatically erupted when Su Qianxue was in danger.
As for its power...
Although Gu Lingchen only used one-tenth of his power, that one-tenth of his power can be described in four words in the current world: ...
Incredibly powerful.
"What's wrong, Gu Lingchen? I just felt a chill between my eyebrows."
"I even feel more comfortable now."
"Fool, go back now."
"I'm homeless now, I'll definitely be waiting for you to come back."
After speaking, Gu Lingchen looked out the window behind Su Qianxue.
Based on Gu Lingchen's judgment, there were at least three groups of people watching him within a radius of several hundred meters.
They arrived much later than Gu Lingchen had estimated.
Leaving a wisp of sword energy for Su Qianxue would be enough to protect her safety, and Gu Lingchen would arrive the moment the sword energy was activated.
Therefore, Gu Lingchen is not worried about Su Qianxue's safety at all.
"Hehe, okay, Gu Lingchen, wait for me to come back."
"Xiaoxiao, I'm leaving now."
Hundreds of meters away, Huang's bodyguards were lying in ambush on a rooftop, looking through binoculars at the house where Gu Lingchen was currently living.
"Mr. He, I told you, as long as we follow the police, it will be easy to find this person."
"Mr. He, please take a look. This is the surveillance footage we obtained. The person in it is the one who killed Young Master Huang."
The surveillance footage captured Gu Lingchen and Su Qianxue shopping at the mall last night.
Mr. He, dressed in a gray training uniform, calmly replied, "This person actually managed to kill One-Eyed."
"He must still have some skill."
"Let's keep an eye on things for now, and avoid running into the Dragon Shadow Guards unless absolutely necessary."
"It would be quite troublesome if they started targeting us."
"As for this person, it's good that we've found him."
"If the police can't give the Huang family an explanation, then we'll take matters into our own hands."
"Keep an eye on things, and report any unusual activity immediately. I will go back and inform your family head, Master Huang."
"Yes, yes, Mr. He, please rest assured."
"Before becoming a bodyguard, I was a reconnaissance soldier; surveillance and tracking were my specialties..."
Inside the Sunshine Residential Complex, plainclothes police officers began to gradually disperse passersby, while Chu Yue, Zhang Daqiang, and Lu Qianqian sat in a large van with two seats at the entrance of the complex.
"Captain Lu, I didn't expect the police in Jiangzhou to be quite capable."
"They identified him in just a few hours."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Chu Yue, standing to the side, coldly replied, "He had no intention of hiding at all; he left surveillance footage everywhere."
"Also, Su Qianxue is a student at Jiangzhou University, and many of her classmates know where she lives."
"If they can't find this, then these police officers are just sitting around doing nothing."
"Let's go and meet this senior."
"He probably hasn't discovered us yet."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them suddenly felt a blur before their eyes. The next second, Chu Yue, Zhang Daqiang, and Lu Qianqian's hearts raced and their eyes were filled with terror.
Because just a moment ago, a person suddenly appeared in front of me.
This person was none other than Gu Lingchen.
"S-senpai."
After calming down, Chu Yueqian tried to composure herself. She couldn't understand how this person had managed to sit opposite her without her noticing, even though the car door hadn't been opened.
If this person had just tried to kill me, I might not even know how I died.
"Are you looking for me?"
Gu Lingchen's voice was cold, and Chu Yue, Zhang Daqiang, and Lu Qianqian felt the temperature inside the car drop several degrees.
