Chapter 404: Gu Mang and the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt

As soon as Lu Chengzhou spoke, Lu Yī understood and said to the subordinates behind him, “Take good care of our guests.”

“Yes.” The subordinates immediately stepped forward and took the group away.

Streaks of blood remained on the white floor. Chilling screams could be heard from throughout the rest of the villa. Lu Chengzhou picked up the cell phone next to him and opened WeChat.

The chat record with Gu Mang was unchanged. He swiped to check the earlier messages. They were all very normal. They had been talking about what they were doing or what they were eating.

Lu Chengzhou kept swiping. His fingers twitched for some strange reason. It was as if his fingers were not his own. Pursing his lips, he closed the cell phone, and he leaned into the sofa tiredly. He t.i.tled his head back and he pinched the corner of his red sleepless eyes. He couldn’t imagine what he would become if he couldn’t get any leads.

He Yidu and Qin Fang were also sitting quietly. The cries in the background got louder and louder. Twenty minutes later, the subordinates dragged the people out and threw them in front of Lu Chengzhou. They looked like they had been fished out of the water, their faces pale and frightened. The well-trained subordinates stepped to the side.

Lu Yī respectfully said, “Young Master Lu, they are willing to talk.”

Lu Chengzhou opened his eyes, sat upright, and looked at the people piled on the ground like trash.

Qin Fang smirked disdainfully and tutted provokingly. “Sigh, why did you have to make them do this to you?”

After waiting for about five seconds, no one said anything.

Lu Yī frowned and came up with a fierce kick. “Speak!”

The group trembled. The first man who spoke up before said slowly, his voice slightly hoa.r.s.e, “We really don’t know who posted the mission. We connected via the internet, but he was very generous and gave out ten missions, all of which were to take you down.”

Qin Fang and He Yidu frowned upon hearing that as their eyes took on a murderous look.

If they were to find out the organization that gave out these missions, they would immediately send people over.

“Was the one who gave out these missions the same person who gave you my location?” Lu Chengzhou looked at them.

The group nodded as they trembled.

His trip to Country K had been last minute so few people could have known about it. He hadn’t suspected it before, but after thinking about it, Gu Mang’s disappearance and this a.s.sa.s.sination attempt were very strange. It seemed like he had fallen into someone’s trap.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked, “How much were you offered?”

They all answered at the same time so it was difficult to hear clearly. After adding up the figures, it totaled to over nine hundred million but less than one billion.

When Lu Chengzhou heard this number, his eyes darkened, but he hadn’t come to a conclusion yet. Instead, he looked at He Yidu. “Go and find out if there are any other organizations looking for Gu Mang besides us.”

Gu Si had said that he wanted to put out a job to find Gu Mang and took a significant sum of money from him.

He Yidu hummed in reply, got up, and went to the phone.

Lu Chengzhou looked back at the group. “Give me the records of your online communications.”

One of them replied, “We don’t have records.”

Lu Chengzhou’s pupils contracted. “Lu Yī.”

Lu Yī raised his hand, about to entertain the guest.

The ones on the ground changed their expressions instantly and said frantically, “We’re not lying. We don’t have the records. The one who put up the jobs is probably a hacker. After we made the deal, the records were all wiped.”
