After the funeral ended.
Fang ngzhu watched as her parents’ coffins were laid into the graves. The once bustling scene gradually grew quiet.
She sat alone in front of the grave, dazed.
No one knows how much ti passed.
Footsteps echoed from behind her.
They slowly approached her side and squatted down.
A hand pressed onto her shoulder.
Fang ngzhu turned her head.
Only to see Shan Shidong gazing at her with deep affection, completely ignoring the surroundings, he said:
"ngzhu, I’ve actually liked you for a long ti, I’m sure you can feel it, right? Rest assured, even though your parents have died, I will protect you from now on. From now on, you are my woman."
Seemingly a confession, but in truth more like an insult.
Fang ngzhu’s face suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this, not only was Shan Shidong not flustered, he was displeased and said: "What? What does that expression an? I confess to you, and you still don’t appreciate it? Damn, do you still think you’re the popular girl you once were? At this point, you still dare to put on airs in front of , you bitch!"
Saying this, he viciously swung a slap towards Fang ngzhu’s face, but it was blocked by Fang ngzhu.
"Still dare to block?"
Shan Shidong smiled coldly, intending to say more, but suddenly saw a mysterious gray light emanating from Fang ngzhu’s hand, quickly spreading to his hand.
Wherever the light passed, his entire palm turned to ashes instantly, scattering with the wind.
Shan Shidong was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
After a while, he ca to his senses, his body went soft, slumping to the ground, scrambling backward in distress, pleading for rcy:
"ngzhu, spare ! Spare !"
"I an no harm to you, I truly like you, I was just a bit reckless just now..."
"Ha! n!"
Fang ngzhu sneered coldly, taking a few steps to chase down Shan Shidong, who was like a dog in distress. The gray light in her hand grew stronger as she pressed it against his body.
Shortly after.
Shan Shidong was completely motionless, his entire body, along with his clothes and all personal belongings, turned to ash and dissipated into the air.
In the distance, the two subordinates assigned to protect Shan Shidong due to internal strife within the society were alard by Shan Shidong’s screams and hurried over, only to find no trace of him.
"Miss Fang, where did Shan Shidong go?"
"Did soone take him?"
The two asked bluntly.
Fang ngzhu replied indifferently: "Didn’t see."
"How is that possible? He said he was coming to you. He scread so loudly just now, sothing must have happened. How could you not know?"
"Tell us, was he taken by soone?"
Gray light erged simultaneously from Fang ngzhu’s hands, her face once again filled with murderous intent: "Since you’re looking for him, I’ll send you to him."
...
Golden Shield Society Headquarters.
In the office of the second vice president.
Shan Jinyong finished handling various society affairs and checked the information he had collected and compiled.
There were only two or three hours left until the deadline set by the man in the black robe, and the information he could gather about the Nirvana Association was indeed limited.
So now, he could only gamble.
Gamble that Xu Li had collected even less information than he had.
Or gamble that he could counter the man in the black robe.
Though Instant Teleportation is elusive, it is not invincible. As long as he was prepared, he might even be able to capture the man in the black robe for his own purposes.
Both preparations must be made.
"That damn guy, just because he has the power of Instant Teleportation, he dares to flaunt it in front of . When I catch you, let’s see how you die!"
With a cold snort, saving the docunt, Shan Jinyong then rembered his son.
"That worthless kid, didn’t I give him a job to do? Why hasn’t he returned yet? Could he still be entangled with Fang ngzhu?"
He took out his phone to call his son.
But the prompt from the receiver was startling—
"Hello, the number you are dialing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Calling multiple tis produced the sa result, causing Shan Jinyong’s face to darken.
He understood that sothing must have happened to his son.
"Damn it, must be that old bastard Xu Li who captured Shidong, trying to use this trick to threaten ?"
Shan Jinyong stood up with a start.
But after his expression changed several tis, he sat back down, contemplating rationally:
"If I rashly confront him without evidence, he definitely won’t admit it, and might even counterattack. Perhaps he intends to take advantage of this incident to anger , making lose my cool, and thereby completely defeat ."
"Previously, Shidong said he was going back to find Fang ngzhu. During this period, they should have been together. If sothing indeed happened to Shidong, Fang ngzhu might know sothing, or perhaps she was also captured."
He called Fang ngzhu’s phone.
To his surprise, the call was answered quickly, with Fang ngzhu’s cold and indifferent voice coming through the receiver without any courtesy:
"Do you need sothing?"
Frowning, Shan Jinyong asked:
"Niece Fang, after the funeral, Shidong said he was going back to find you. Did you see him?"
"Didn’t see."
Hearing this, Shan Jinyong raised his eyebrows but didn’t say much, only saying lightly, "I see, alright, goodbye."
After hanging up, Shan Jinyong called in a trusted subordinate and instructed:
"Shidong is missing, and Fang ngzhu might know sothing. Quickly bring her here, I want to question her personally... Oh, and keep it quiet."
"Understood."
The subordinate responded and turned to leave.
...
Around four in the afternoon.
Su Xin cald his emotions and left the cetery.
After taking a cab ho, he once again donned the black robe and disappeared through Instant Teleportation.
A few seconds later.
Su Xin, clad in the black robe, appeared out of thin air in the office of Xu Li, the temporary president of the Golden Shield Society. The latter obediently handed Su Xin a docunt.
Su Xin didn’t say much, taking the docunt and quickly scanning it before folding it and casually tucking it into his pocket, then perford Instant Teleportation to reappear in Shan Jinyong’s office.
"Sir, I’ve prepared the information."
Facing Su Xin’s Instant Teleportation again, Shan Jinyong, like Xu Li, was much calr than last ti, although he still maintained a facade of reverence.
Receiving the docunt, Su Xin also began to look through it casually.
Shan Jinyong, sitting in the boss’s chair, stared intently at Su Xin, one hand resting near his pocket, feeling the loaded pistol through his pocket.
As long as Su Xin shows any signs of unfriendly actions, he would imdiately flip out of the chair to dodge, while simultaneously drawing the gun to shoot.
What’s so special about Instant Teleportation?
Instant Teleportation at most represents seizing the initiative, it doesn’t an invincibility.
After teleporting, the man in the black robe must also need reaction ti. As long as he dodges at the first sign of the other party’s appearance, the opponent might not be able to kill him.
If it weren’t for fearing a failed ambush, thoroughly angering the other party and inviting disaster, and given the current tense circumstances outside, he had even considered setting up gunn in the office to open fire when the man in the black robe appeared.
He didn’t think the man in the black robe was particularly terrifying.
It’s just that, unless absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to make an enemy of the person.
"Useless."
As Su Xin muttered indifferently, he suddenly withdrew his left hand, silently clasping it with his right within the black robe, his figure abruptly vanished.
The white paper fluttered leisurely in the air.
