There was no expected gunshot, just a very muffled "puff" sound, and Qin Fang imdiately withdrew his gun and left, quickly disappearing into the chaotic crowd.
In such a ssy situation, Qin Fang only had this one chance to make a move.
It was this unexpected move that had the highest chance of killing Ruan Wenzhong.
If he missed this chance, not to ntion the many guards protecting Ruan Wenzhong, the snipers stationed at various critical points might discover Qin Fang's presence.
The threat snipers pose to Qin Fang is imnse, especially since Ruan Wenzhong had arranged for five or six of such snipers. The more Qin Fang acted, the greater the chance of being exposed.
So, he fired only one shot and imdiately vanished into the crowd, as if he had done nothing at all…
And as expected, almost the mont he raised his gun and fired, the snipers caught sight of him. But before they could aim, he had already disappeared without a trace, leaving the snipers who spotted him rubbing their eyes, doubting if they had seen wrong!
Unfortunately, these snipers were each in separate locations and hadn't communicated, otherwise, they would have confird what they saw was real.
However, when the snipers glanced towards the funeral podium, they found Ruan Wenzhong's double was still perfectly fine, which relieved them considerably.
The arrangent of a double by Ruan Wenzhong was known to only a very few close to him, naturally, the snipers were unaware as well.
...
Ruan Wenzhong's double was unscathed because Qin Fang had already seen through it, but it seed sothing had happened to Ruan Wenzhong himself.
"Ugh…"
Facing such a sudden chaotic scene, Ruan Wenzhong, in his rage, imdiately sensed sothing was very wrong.
Before he could leave under his guards' protection, he felt a sudden stabbing pain in his heart, a piercing agony.
With this pain, he understood at once!
He had been shot!
As a formidable figure who climbed up from the bottom to his current position, he had risen from a re soldier in his early years.
He had even participated in the fierce battle with the northern great nation decades ago and survived by luck, though his body bore nurous bullet scars.
Perhaps because of that previous defeat, Ruan Wenzhong has always been quite apprehensive of the northern great nation, yet he also deeply craves revenge for past misfortunes…
Thus, the relationship between the region he governed and the northern great nation had always been very tense, and this ti he even invited international rcenaries to cross the border for a special mission.
Because he had been shot before, the feeling of a bullet piercing through the body, even after decades, remained vivid in Ruan Wenzhong's mory.
So, when this bullet pierced his heart, he imdiately understood…
Instinctively, he reached out to clutch his heart area, lowering his head with an incredulous expression, staring at his chest…
At this mont, it was already stained with bright red blood, even though he was pressing on it, the blood still seeped continuously from his fingers, dyeing his hand red…
"General…"
At this mont, his followers by his side also reacted swiftly, all looking shocked and terrified at the now-shot Ruan Wenzhong.
They had always been protecting Ruan Wenzhong closely, sealing almost all possible blind spots, theoretically ensuring Ruan Wenzhong should have been in no danger.
However, the sudden commotion caused chaos at the funeral, and likewise, created a slight disturbance in their area as well.
Although it was just a minor movent by an individual, it exposed Ruan Wenzhong, prompting the hidden gunman to fire decisively.
This was a very subtle movent and a slight error that was seized by the hidden gunman.
And the shot was decisive and very precise…
It was also extrely covert, since there was still no sound of gunfire, indicating the hidden snipers didn't notice anything unusual.
All of this happened so suddenly, unforeseen by anyone, but by the ti they reacted, it was already too late.
A bullet piercing the heart, virtually an incurable fatal wound.
"Quick, quick, quick, send the General to the hospital..."
The subordinates were extrely nervous and scared as well, as the sudden occurrence was partly their negligence. However, finding fault at this mont is aningless; the most important thing is to see if they can save Ruan Wenzhong's life...
They scrambled to rush Ruan Wenzhong to the hospital, but the blood gushing from his heart couldn't be stopped.
But, with a bullet in the heart and excessive bleeding, is it even possible to save him?
No one felt very confident about it.
Moreover, the conditions at the hospital...
Though Luo City is the largest city in Northern Anlang with the best conditions in the area, the entire Anlang is not exactly known for its advanced dical capabilities...
Maybe the conditions in the Anlang Capital are a bit better, but in a marginal city like Luo City, despite its strategic location, the dical conditions are quite poor.
Ruan Wenzhong was pushed into the operating room, but before the surgery officially began, it was already announced over...
His heart had completely stopped beating, and he was utterly silent!
A figure akin to a hero, the King of the North in Anlang, Ruan Wenzhong, left this world in such a tragic way, just like his son Ruan Youlin, such suffocating deaths!
"Father..."
Almost simultaneously with the announcent of Ruan Wenzhong's death, Ruan Yingxiu appeared outside the hospital, crying like a person drenched in tears. The timing was so subtle, almost happening at the sa ti.
Unfortunately, no one found anything abnormal about it, as no one had anticipated Ruan Wenzhong's shooting incident.
"Third Miss...please accept our condolences!"
Seeing the heartbroken Ruan Yingxiu, Ruan Wenzhong's close Imperial Guards were very conflicted, mostly because they had witnessed Ruan Yingxiu being thrown into the Water Prison.
Seeing Ruan Yingxiu suddenly appear, they were extrely shocked, and couldn't help but have wild thoughts, their minds racing...
"Now that the eldest son and the General have both died tragically, Third Miss, you must take care of your health; do not let yourself be consud by grief..."
Ruan Yingxiu cried fiercely, her heartbroken appearance evoking sympathy from anyone who saw her, urging many to offer their comfort.
"The army cannot be leaderless for a day, now that the General is gone and the eldest son is unfortunately deceased, I believe soone must stand up to control the situation. Otherwise, Luo City will surely descend into chaos and be exploited by others..."
"Third Miss, you are now the only blood of the Ruan Family, please co forward to take control of the situation..."
Naturally, at this mont, so imdiately spoke up, even blatantly ignoring the fact that Ruan Wenzhong had just died, urging Ruan Yingxiu to seize the power left by Ruan Wenzhong.
This was originally an incredibly disrespectful act; had any Ruan Family mbers been alive, a confrontation would ensue instantly, possibly even resulting in murder.
"Please, Third Miss, take control of the situation..."
However, Ruan Wenzhong's normally taciturn bodyguards exchanged glances, then unanimously shouted in unison.
They even took a bold move, directly placing Ruan Wenzhong's favorite gun, symbolizing his power, into Ruan Yingxiu's hands.
These people already had a lot of thoughts in mind, especially their negligence; if Ruan Family mbers took power again, they would surely face dire consequences.
But, they absolutely understood that Ruan Yingxiu was not truly a Ruan family mber, and her relationship with Ruan's father and son was extrely discordant. Didn't Ruan Wenzhong throw her into the Water Prison without a second thought?
Without doubt, Ruan Yingxiu held no fondness for Ruan father and son, even filled with hatred, making her ascent much safer than any other Ruan family mber.
Though they might face superficial punishnt, the so-called negligence relates only to Ruan Wenzhong, whereas for Ruan Yingxiu, their acts seem a significant accomplishnt.
Moreover, the bodyguards weren't foolish; they noticed that imdiately after Ruan Wenzhong's death, several important military officers hurried over.
These persons were primarily descendants of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force, and those clamoring to let Ruan Yingxiu take power were exactly these people.
Ruan Yingxiu's father was a leader among these people, but unfortunately died young; consequently, Ruan Wenzhong utilized tactics to bring these n under his banner.
Although over the years, due to Ruan Wenzhong's manipulations, their cohesion weakened compared to before, they nonetheless ford a formidable Strength when united.
The current scene demonstrates this; these n have regrouped because of Ruan Yingxiu...
Though on the surface they ca to visit Ruan Wenzhong, truthfully, they intended to seize power, using military force to coerce and achieve their aims. Anyone who dared to say an unfavorable word would surely be silenced imdiately.
Thus, under such circumstances, as the two sides conspired, a fact ca to fruition within re words... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations, monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
