When Lee Encai, the daughter they missed so dearly, flew out to et them, Li Weihai and Pei Huixian's first reaction wasn't joy, but shock and stupor. As parents, how could they not know their own daughter? The girl before them, although she resembled their daughter, was clearly more beautiful and had a better figure. From this point alone, they could speculate that she had been ruined by that scoundrel, Lin Tang, and that the transformation from a girl into a woman was the reason for such a drastic change. But since when did being with a man make a girl grow so much taller?!
Is she really our daughter? Could soone have switched her?
The couple hadn't yet recovered from their shock when the gunman walked in nonchalantly.
"You two," he said, "your daughter lives in a dump like this. Can you really afford the huge sum you promised? I'm not buying it."
"Uh, who are you?" Lee Encai asked curiously. As for the handgun, she paid it no mind at all.
This is bad! Why hasn't Lin Tang co out? How can Encai possibly withstand bullets all by herself? We're in real danger now!
Li Weihai and Pei Huixian exchanged panicked looks, sweat breaking out on their foreheads. According to their plan, Lin Tang was supposed to appear the mont they entered. The instant he saw the gun, he would poison their enemy, allowing them all to escape. But that's not what happened...
"Heh, allow to introduce myself. My na is Lu Lingfei, but people call the Gun King. You… huh??"
Lu Lingfei glanced up casually and got his first clear look at Lee Encai. He was instantly dazzled by her otherworldly beauty.
"Hahaha, to have such good fortune with won right after getting out of prison! That's , all right!" He couldn't help but laugh, particularly pleased with Lee Encai. "I was only after money, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to take you as well."
With that, he reached for Lee Encai's face.
"Lin Tang, hurry up and help!" Li Weihai yelled hoarsely as he charged at Lu Lingfei.
Pei Huixian scread, "Encai, run! This man is extrely dangerous!"
The commotion startled Shen Qiushi, who ca out to see a gun and turned pale. But he didn't retreat. Instead, he bravely charged forward. "Don't you dare hurt the Li family's girl!"
When Shen Youling saw her grandfather acting so rashly, her desire to see how powerful Lee Encai had beco vanished. She couldn't stay calm anymore. Bullets don't have eyes! If Grandpa gets killed, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!
She was about to rush out.
"What's the rush?" Lin Tang rolled his eyes and held her back.
The next mont, Li Weihai was knocked back, sprawling on the ground.
"You dare hurt my father?" Lee Encai's expression darkened as she thrust a finger forward.
"Not good!" Lu Lingfei's scalp prickled as he had a sudden, intense premonition of danger!
He had been about to touch Lee Encai's face, but he recoiled as if shocked. In the blink of an eye, he raised his gun and emptied the magazine. No matter how beautiful a woman was, if he perceived her as a threat, he would shoot to kill without hesitation. His marksmanship was astonishing; both his precision and speed far surpassed that of an ordinary person. In the past, this skill had helped him eliminate countless enemies.
Unfortunately for him, today he had encountered Lee Encai, who was on another level entirely.
Lee Encai neither dodged nor flinched, nor did she change her attack. She simply clawed forward with her slender fingers. Her fingernails seed to be coated with a gem-like polish. Their beauty was one thing, but more importantly, they were incredibly tough.
DING! DING!
Sparks flew as all the bullets were unbelievably deflected.
"How is this possible?" Lu Lingfei's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Without another word, he turned and fled.
"Ah!"
"My poor daughter…"
As ordinary people, Li Weihai and Pei Huixian's reactions were much slower. Just as they were about to break down and wail, their vision blurred. In an instant, both Lee Encai and Lu Lingfei had vanished.
"Wait a minute? What just happened?"
"It seems... not only was Encai not shot, but she's chasing after Lu Lingfei? When did she beco so powerful? What has she been through all this ti?"
The couple looked at each other, sinking deeper into confusion.
「In the stairwell.」
Lu Lingfei felt pins and needles on his back as alarm bells scread in his mind. He didn't continue running downstairs. Instead, he vaulted over the railing and leaped.
In mid-air, his body twisted, and a spare magazine spun out from his waist. It was fully loaded. CLICK! He expertly slapped it into his handgun. He did a sorsault before landing firmly on the floor below. THUD! The impact left two deep footprints in the ground, a testant to his powerful physique. He was clearly a trained martial artist.
Just as he was about to aim upstairs, he found Lee Encai was already behind him, her hand lunging for the back of his neck.
Lu Lingfei's face contorted. His body suddenly ducked, his head seeming to retract into his torso in a classic martial arts move—Tortoise Listening to Thunder. Simultaneously, he shot a vicious kick backward, a move called Yellow Dog Peeing.
"Hmph!" Seeing that she, a magnificent Gu Immortal, couldn't instantly kill this bastard, Lee Encai felt a bit embarrassed. A flash of light erupted from her body. Sharp wings erged like blades, slashing at him and instantly carving dozens of bone-deep wounds into his flesh.
"Aaaah! rcy! Spare !" Lu Lingfei scread in agony. As he collapsed to the ground, he begged for his life, all power to resist gone.
Lee Encai retracted her wings. She was about to put him out of his misery but paused when she heard Lin Tang's psychic ssage.
The sounds of gunshots and screams echoed through the neighborhood, creating a night of terror that kept countless residents locked in their hos, too afraid to even peek outside.
「A mont later, at Lin Tang's ho.」
Li Weihai and Pei Huixian held their daughter, looking her over from head to toe. It was confird: she was undoubtedly their biological daughter!
Then, they recounted their recent experiences. It turned out they had been living in hiding under assud nas in another city. With ti on their hands, they had used part of their savings as start-up capital and gotten back into business. They didn't dare to engage in large, legitimate enterprises for fear of being tracked down by the powerful Yan Luoyang. Instead, they stuck to so shady businesses and ca into contact with various unsavory characters, which gradually led to friction.
The Li Family had once been one of Jiangbei's four great families, and Li Weihai himself was no pushover, so he naturally wasn't afraid.
Finally, just yesterday, they had learned that Lee Encai was still alive. They imdiately dropped everything and rushed back to Jiangbei. Their enemies, who had been watching them, saw this sudden departure and assud they were trying to abscond with the money. A deadly pursuit ensued.
Lin Tang, who was noisily repairing and reinstalling the door, overheard this and asked, "So this guy is the hitman who was after you?"
Li Weihai shook his head. "He showed up out of nowhere during our firefight. He said he'd just gotten out of prison, was broke, and wanted to 'borrow' so money from us. At first, nobody took him seriously. So people even mocked him for being clueless. One guy was about to just shoot him, and then… tragedy struck."
Originally, Lu Lingfei had looked like a destitute vagrant. But the mont soone aid a gun at him, they were instantly killed, and their weapon fell into his hands. Once Lu Lingfei had a gun, his combat prowess skyrocketed. He never missed; every bullet was a headshot. Anyone who even subconsciously aid in his direction was killed before they could pull the trigger. He had terrified both Li Weihai and his enemies.
"After that, he had both sides make him an offer. He said he wouldn't kill whoever offered the higher price..." Li Weihai said with a sigh of resignation.
Obviously, he had won by bidding an outrageously high amount. He then brought Lu Lingfei here, planning to have Lin Tang take care of him with poison. However, the outco was entirely unexpected.
Li Weihai looked at Lee Encai again, feeling as if he were dreaming. "Encai, what's the story with you?"
Lee Encai smiled proudly. "It's simple, isn't it? I'm actually a legendary, one-in-a-million peerless genius. It's just that no one ever noticed before. After I started spending ti with Brother Lin, I asked him to teach so martial arts, and I sohow just... beca a super master."
She only just started learning martial arts? Isn't that a bit too demoralizing? Lu Lingfei thought.
He had been training since he was a child, braving the elents and enduring countless beatings and hardships just to achieve sothing. Then, one day, he encountered a gunman. He learned that beyond seven steps, a gun was fast, but within seven steps, a gun was both fast *and* accurate. He had co within an inch of death. That experience made him realize that tis had changed.
He decisively abandoned martial arts to practice with firearms. He trained relentlessly for many years, never slacking for a single day. Eventually, the day ca when he single-handedly slaughtered the very sect that had raised him with his gun. After that, he earned a formidable title in the underworld—the Gun King!
To think that martial arts alone could make soone powerful enough to resist bullets head-on... could I have been wrong all this ti?
Lu Lingfei was lost, sinking into a deep state of self-doubt.
Just then, Lin Tang walked over and kicked him in the butt as he lay motionless on the floor. "Hey, you want to live, or you want to die?"
Lu Lingfei laboriously lifted his head. "Of course I want to live. Whatever your demands are, just state your terms!"
Lin Tang smiled faintly. "It seems you understand the rules. Since you want to live, you can stay here and atone for your sins."
"Atone? How?"
"Simple. You'll be a servant."
, the magnificent Gun King... beco your servant? You're asking for death!
