Second update,
...
Song Gang naturally recognized this person; he was one of Li Rui's underlings who had lived with them for over a month. Although Song Gang was sowhat vigilant, now that the enemy was gone, he had let his guard down slightly.
Moreover, he had seen Cao Chun leave and naturally knew that Li Rui wouldn't have left him here alone. Estimating the ti, he realized that the police were nearly upon them, and he needed to leave quickly.
Clearly, the car had been left here especially for him, and "Wigan" was an alias he had chosen, just as Cao Chun had taken the na "Mike."
The nickna "Wigan" was known only to Li Rui's underlings who lived with them. As for Li Rui himself… he had never actively contacted them from the beginning, although he knew their identities, he wouldn't disclose them.
It was this very nickna that made Song Gang not suspect the underling's identity because the way he spoke was so natural, not as if he had been coerced.
But...
Bang~~
As he took a few steps out, only about ten ters away from the car, his body suddenly issued a warning, and all his pores opened wide, a feeling of extre threat of death quickly spreading throughout his body.
By the ti the sound of the gunshot rang out, it was already too late for Song Gang to react.
A magnificent spray of blood blossod from Song Gang's chest as the bullet instantly penetrated his heart... The excruciating pain swiftly engulfed his entire body.
Song Gang had blood on his hands; he himself had forgotten how many people he had killed and had contemplated what kind of end he might et, but he had not expected death to co so swiftly.
Thump~~
Song Gang's knees hit the ground. Clutching at his bleeding chest, he wore an expression of disbelief, but it was already too late to reverse anything.
Bang~~
However, one shot was evidently not enough. Although Qin Fang was confident that he had hit Song Gang's heart, so people are born with an off-center heart, so to be certain, Qin Fang imdiately fired another bullet at Song Gang's forehead.
A circular hole instantaneously opened at Song Gang's forehead; the intense impact of the bullet caused his head to violently jerk back.
"Mission accomplished! Retreat..."
If the first shot to the heart had caused Song Gang's Life Points to plumt, then this shot to the forehead was truly a fatal one. Qin Fang threw over a Scouting Skill and decisively found that Song Gang's Life Points had instantly dropped to zero, rendered completely empty...
Although his body was still convulsing slightly, even if Hua Tuo were reborn and Bian Que returned, there was no longer any hope of saving him. He was utterly dead.
Having confird that Song Gang was beyond saving, Qin Fang naturally did not linger and imdiately drove the car toward the exit of the villa complex.
By then, Qin Fang could already faintly hear the police sirens; he could no longer wait and had to leave; otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
Screech~~~
The car started, and the engine roared intensely. Although the gates of the villa complex had been closed due to the recent shooting, Qin Fang didn't care about that. He stepped on the accelerator, the engine's roar erupted, and he crashed fiercely into the barrier railing.
Bang~~
With a violent crash, the railing was no match for the speeding car. It was sent flying by Qin Fang's forceful impact, tracing a beautiful arc mid-air before violently embedding into the trunk of an unfortunate twisted tree, finally landing safely.
"Sorry~~"
Looking at the poor twisted tree, effectively pierced through the heart, Qin Fang could only sigh softly, and then he sped away in the car.
He had not driven more than two hundred ters before he passed a police car rushing to the scene. Though the frontal facade of his vehicle was severely deford, in the dead of night, passing by without drawing much attention. By the ti the police realized what had happened, Qin Fang would already be long gone.
Of course, it's possible that the police wouldn't care who killed Song Gang at all, since he was an international fugitive. The death of such a notorious criminal would surely be a cause for celebration.
After leaving the vicinity of the villa complex, Qin Fang imdiately ditched the car and swiftly left the scene, then found a dark corner to change into a new set of clothes and don a different appearance. He walked out confidently and hailed a cab to return.
Everything was done without anyone being the wiser, even if Qin Fang's face had been captured by a surveillance cara, it would not matter; because from beginning to end, Qin Fang had never really used his own face, and no one could link him to this murder.
With Song Gang dead, only Cao Chun remained.
No longer having to worry about Song Gang, who could have shot him in the back, Qin Fang was slightly relieved but he had to pay more attention to his safety now, for Cao Chun was the truly terrifying figure.
...
"The gunman is dead?"
By the ti Li Rui received this news, an hour had already passed.
Cao Chun was safely extracted by his people, but the subsequent news was that Song Gang was dead. He had been shot once in the heart and once between the eyebrows, and he seed very surprised at the ti of his death. His body was relaxed, as if shot by an acquaintance.
Indeed, Song Gang and Cao Chun were hired back by Li Rui for a hefty price. Both of them had no family or even friends left in the country—the only person they were close to was each other...
"The murderer's gunmanship was very accurate, must be the work of a professional gunman!"
The one reporting this news to Li Rui was still that stooped old man. Despite appearing so aged that a gust of wind could knock him over, only Li Rui's trusted insiders knew of the old man's status and influence.
"A professional gunman? Could it have been Tang Cheng sending soone..."
To ordinary people, a professional gunman might an soone like a shooting athlete. But in reality, here a professional gunman ant a remorseless assassin or a sniper specially trained by the military.
Those shooting athletes indeed have impressive skills, but they definitely lack the ntal fortitude for killing. In contrast, real professional gunn are unfazed even by rivers of blood before them.
Li Rui had many enemies, but only a few had the capability to hire a professional gunman. The first one Li Rui thought of was naturally Tang Cheng, who had the authority to mobilize snipers from the military.
"It's hard to say..."
The stooped old man shook his head, giving an ambiguous answer.
"Make sure to pacify the other one well. He's very dangerous. Don't let him cause trouble, or it will be very problematic..."
Li Rui also had a headache. Song Gang's sudden death had created a massive flaw in his plan, and Cao Chun was an even bigger issue.
Once Cao Chun found out about Song Gang's assassination, this madman would likely do sothing exceedingly irrational on impulse.
A madman decked with bombs!
This was definitely not good news... Li Rui couldn't help but feel worried.
...
The news of Song Gang's death was still being controlled by the police. Li Rui got the news through his connections; the police didn't dare to divulge it rashly.
There was no helping it. Cao Chun was still at large, and he had a great relationship with Song Gang. If the police were to disclose the news, an enraged Cao Chun might do sothing crazy.
Ninghai is a tropolis with a population of over ten million, especially the downtown area, which is extrely bustling. With Christmas and New Year's fast approaching, it's the most crowded ti of the year. If the madman with a bunch of bombs showed up in a busy district, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No one could bear such a heavy responsibility. If such a thing happened, many people would likely be implicated, including the provincial and city leaders.
Almost imdiately after the incident beca public, everyone from the provincial party committee and governnt to Secretary Tang of the municipal committee and Secretary Shen of the provincial political and legal committee all demanded that the police handle the case swiftly and arrest Cao Chun... They even issued a direct kill order.
Dead, such a madman might be a bit safer.
No matter how much Li Rui was troubled or the governnt officials made a fuss, it was temporarily of no consequence to Qin Fang. With Song Gang dead, he was already feeling much relieved, needing only to be wary of Cao Chun now.
"What? Song Gang is dead?"
Qin Fang didn't keep the news from Chen Da. He had the right to know, and the initial plan had to be adjusted accordingly. They couldn't stick to the original one.
Chen Da was thunderstruck when he suddenly learned the news, unable to co to his senses for a long while, almost thinking he was dreaming.
But after closely observing Qin Fang for a while and realizing he wasn't joking, his tiger eyes instantly reddened, and tears involuntarily flowed out.
For years, he had been obsessed with killing Song Gang and Cao Chun, avenging his fallen comrades. Unfortunately, these two murderers had always been enjoying their freedom abroad. Chen Da had the will but not the power.
Not until he learned they had returned to the country and were right in Ninghai had he resolved to eliminate both, even if it cost him his life.
Yet before he could act, his boss, Qin Fang, had already given him this good news. How could he not be moved?
"Young Master Qin, I cannot thank you enough..."
But Chen Da quickly dried his tears because another enemy was still alive. With a swift motion, he gave Qin Fang a military salute, even though he was long no longer a soldier. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it at Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
