Cultivation Online Chapter 962 - Assassination Attempt

Chapter 962 - Assassination Attempt

The sound of powerful guns blazing through bullets continued nonstop for another minute until the people in the black van eventually ran out of bullets.

"We're out! Let's get the fuck out of here!"

The people in the black van didn't even bother to check whether their targets had survived before stepping on the gas and speeding away from the cri scene.

However, Yuan didn't dare to remove the wall until he was absolutely sure that the threat had completely vanished.

"Are you guys okay?!" Yuan turned around to ask the three terrified ladies standing behind him with shivering legs.

"I-I'm okay…" White Lotus muttered in a trembling voice.

"I am fine as well…" Chu Liuxiang said.

" too." ixiu said.

"ixiu! You're totally not fine! Look at your arm! It's bleeding!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly said in a panicked voice and pointed to her left arm, where blood could be seen flowing from a wound.

"Oh, you're right." ixiu looked at her arm and said in a calm voice.

After inspecting the wound, she continued, "I'm fine, it's just a graze."

"How can you be so calm about this…? You just got shot!" Chu Liuxiang was dumbfounded by her reaction.

"Anyways, what in god's na was that just now?!"

"It was most likely the Zheng Family trying to exact revenge. I don't have any proof, but they're the only ones who have a motive." White Lotus sighed.

"Even if they want revenge, to think they'd go this far… This is unforgivable…" She looked at the destruction caused by the shooting just now.

Fortunately, there were no deaths. However, so people there were injured in the process of trying to run away, and the buildings behind their group were riddled with bullets.

Everyone there turned to look at Yuan, who was awfully silent for so reason, but that only made the ladies even more nervous.

ixiu and Chu Liuxiang suddenly recalled what happened with the Gu Family when they threatened to hurt them. However, this incident was many tis worse than the Gu Family, and ixiu even got physically hurt in the process, so they cannot even begin to imagine what was going through Yuan's head.

"Are you okay, Yuan?" White Lotus decided to ask him.

To their surprise, he nodded and spoke in an abnormally calm voice, "Yes, I am just relieved that you're safe. Let's return to the hotel and get your wound treated, ixiu."

"Okay…"

As they made their way back to the hotel, police sirens could be heard blaring in almost every street.

"Yes, that really just happened." White Lotus spoke to her father through the phone as they walked, notifying him of the horror they'd just experienced.

"That fucking Zheng Family! How dare they try to assassinate you guys! They have crossed the line a thousand tis! Don't worry, I will make sure they are held accountable for their actions! I'm just really glad that none of you are hurt!"

"By the way, has Yuan said anything about the situation?" Bai ngyao suddenly asked.

"N-No… He's awfully quiet, nor has he spoken a word since we left…" White Lotus answered in a whispering voice.

"That doesn't sound very good. Do whatever you can to comfort him."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Bai ngyao called the Zheng Family and demanded for Zheng Ye to pick up the phone.

"I'm sorry, Mister Bai, but Mister Zheng is currently busy."

"I don't give a fuck if he's busy! I want him to answer the phone even if he's screwing his wife as we speak! If I don't hear from him within the next five minutes, I will literally shoot up your fucking headquarter!"

"P-Please calm down, Mister Bai—"

Di.

Bai ngyao hung up and waited for his phone to ring.

As expected, Zheng Ye video called him three minutes later.

"For you to threaten my family with harm, you better have a good reason, Bai ngyao, or you will be hearing from my lawyers."

"You dare to act like you don't know anything?! Your Zheng Family just tried to assassinate my daughter!"

"What?" Zheng Ye frowned upon hearing this, showing legit confusion.

"Hold your horses, Bai ngyao. That is a serious accusation! I don't know what happened, but our Zheng Family was not involved!"

"You don't know what happened? Bullshit! Turn on the T.V and look at the news!"

Zheng Ye turned on his T.V the next mont. It didn't take long for him to learn of the shooting, as it was being covered by literally every news channel out there.

[About half an hour ago, a mass shooting had occurred at… Over 1,000 bullets had been fired… Miraculously, nobody was killed…]

"You're claiming that my Zheng Family had sothing to do with this shooting?! That's absurd! We would never do sothing like this!"

"As if I could believe your words! Only your Zheng Family has a motive!"

"This is defamation! Slander! Do you have any proof that it was my Zheng Family that is behind the shooting?!"

"The only proof I need is your Zheng Family's dogshit reputation! In the entire Legacy Ranking, your family is the worst!"

"Hah! You'll need more than that bullshit to do anything to us! Go ahead and sue us! I dare you!"

Bai ngyao suddenly started laughing.

"What's so damn funny?! You think this is funny?!"

"You damn fool!" Bai ngyao roared.

"I purposefully kept this a secret because I wanted your family to ss with him a little, but I truly did not expect for you to do sothing this daring. You guys truly went above and beyond! However, I am also at fault. Due to my selfish decision, my daughter was nearly assassinated!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zheng Ye frowned, as he had a bad feeling about Bai ngyao's words.

"Listen carefully, Zheng Ye! The young man who trashed your useless son— the person your family just tried to assassinate today is none other than Player Yuan! The sa Yuan your family is so desperately trying to recruit!" Bai ngyao revealed the truth to him.

"What?!" Zheng Ye cried out loud, not daring to believe his ears.
