194 Chapter 194 Turning The Tables
The other man was shocked, and just as he was about to go forward to check, he suddenly felt a sting on his back. He then quickly fell over on top of the other man.
Gu Chengrui brushed away the loose grass on his head and climbed out of a bush.
He stepped forward and retrieved the two needles, searched their bodies, and found five taels of silver and a banknote worth 90 taels of silver with two daggers. However, he did not find anything that could prove their identity.
This was fine, and he could now take everything for himself.
After packing up, he sat on the side and thought about how to deal with them. Ultimately, he used their daggers and stabbed each of their thighs, relieved to see they didnât wake up. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As for whether they would bleed to death or be eaten by wild beasts, it was none of his business.
As he descended the mountain, he was relieved that there was no hocus-pocus or fantastical martial arts in this world. Otherwise, he knew he wouldnât be able to escape death today. Now, he was just curious as to who sent these two men.
After much thought, he could pin it on Qiao Lansheng of the Qiao family. It seemed like he had to alert his wife as soon as possible.
At the thought of this, he quickened his pace.
He did not know that he had not walked far when two more people came out of hiding. These two werenât as kind as Gu Chengrui, as they dragged the two attackers into the mountains and fed them to the wolves.
It was almost dark when Gu Chengrui returned to his clinic. After keeping his earnings there, he drove his cart to the restaurant.
Since Qian Zhuang and the others were also there, they went home together.
After they arrived home and finished dinner, Gu Chengrui told Zhou Ying about the assassination attempt. âBabe, donât go out alone anymore. Remember to prepare something for self-defense, too.â
âYouâre not hurt, are you?â Zhou Ying looked at him and asked.
âNo, I didnât let them get close to me.â Gu Chengrui reassured her. âRemember, donât go out alone in the future.â
âI know, but Iâm mainly worried about you. If worse comes to worst on my end, Iâll just bring them into my interspace and kill them.â
âAlright, but you have to be careful when using your interspace. Otherwise, itâll be troublesome if youâre discovered.â
After that, the couple cleaned up, and Gu Chengrui had to attend to three more patients. The two entered the interspace as night fell, preparing their self-defense items, and then got busy.
Manager Liu also found out about Gu Chengruiâs incident through two of his men. He sighed and said, âI foresee itâs going to get worse. You two must protect their safety.
âHowever, if they can handle it, just do what you did today and help them clean up.
âOf course, itâd be best to find out the enemyâs hiding place. Remember, you must be extremely careful and not chase after a cornered enemy.â
âWe understand, Uncle Liu. Weâll take our leave then.â The two of them nodded solemnly.
âAlright. Go down and take two taels of silver as your reward.â ManagerLiu nodded.
After that, he went out to look for Sun Hongliang and instructed, âThe snakes are starting to come out of their holes. You must be careful over there and, at the same time, protect their safety.â
âI understand.â Sun Hongliang, his nephew, replied respectfully.
âOkay. Also, do a good job fortifying the restaurantâs defenses. Donât let them be framed for anything. If that happens, weâll be in a tough spot.â
âAlright,â Sun Hongliang then asked in confusion, âUncle, why donât you just reveal my identity? This way, not only can we better protect them, but we can also save a lot of trouble.â
