Chapter 880: Premeditated Murder

Bai Sui, Bai Qingqing, and Qin Yaozhi were all sitting on the sofa to the side.

Bai Qingqing was a little bored, so when she found out that Qin Yaozhi also liked playing games, the two of them started playing together. Bai Sui browsed through a book he had brought with him in the meantime.

The students stretched and sighed when the team meeting finally ended at 9.30PM.

“With Gu Mang on our team, we’ll definitely be the dark horse champion of this compet.i.tion!” said Chen Xu with a laugh.

When Shen Qianzi heard that, her expression changed and her eyes drooped, but n.o.body paid any attention to her.

Yang Tianming looked at Gu Mang. “Is your place far away from the hotel?”

“No,” answered Gu Mang as she stood up.

Yang Tianming nodded. “Alright. Be careful on your way back.”

Gu Mang walked over to the sofa.

Qin Yaozhi wanted to leave with Gu Mang, but Qin Fang had warned her not to disturb Gu Mang, so she sighed and smiled at Gu Mang. “See you tomorrow, Sister Mang.”

Gu Mang could tell what Qin Yaozhi was thinking, and she nodded in acknowledgment before leaving with Bai Sui and Bai Qingqing.

Yang Tianming walked them out to the lift landing.

While Bai Sui went to drive the car over, Gu Mang and Bai Qingqing waited at the hotel entrance for him.

The hotel had been booked for the compet.i.tion partic.i.p.ants, so there were few people out and about at this hour. Just then, a large van drove over from the side. It was not the Barbus that they were waiting for, so n.o.body approached the vehicle.

Gu Mang happened to lift her head right then and saw the person in the pa.s.senger seat as the van pulled away from the hotel. Her expression changed and she immediately ran after the van at top speed.

Bai Qingqing widened her eyes in shock as she stared at Gu Mang’s back and hastily shouted, “Young Lady!”

Gu Mang had just reached the main road when she saw another van drive after the van that had just left at ridiculously high speed. A few mercenaries poked their heads out from the van’s windows and began shooting at the other van with their guns.

It’s a premeditated murder!

Gu Mang pursed her lips when she recalled the face she had seen moments ago.

By the time Bai Qingqing reached the roadside, she saw Gu Mang flip atop the mercenaries’ van and smash her fist into its winds.h.i.+eld, shattering the tempered gla.s.s into pieces.

The driver looked up at her, a twisted smile plastered on his face. Everyone’s guns were instantly aimed at Gu Mang.

Her eyes were bloodshot. By now, she had sensed that something was amiss, but she did not have the time to stop and think about it. Death was approaching. n.o.body got a clear look of the way Gu Mang moved, but they heard her grab and throw the mercenary in the pa.s.senger seat out of the van.

It was chaotic inside the van as gunshots rang out. Everything happened very quickly and the van crashed into a tree at the roadside.

Bai Qingqing quickly ran over, only to see a corpse with a b.l.o.o.d.y bullet hole in the middle of its forehead rolling to the ground as the van’s side door slid open.

Gu Mang got down from the side of the van and stepped over the corpse covered in blood. Her hand was badly injured. Fresh blood dripped onto the ground.

Color drained from Bai Qingqing’s face as she quickly checked the situation inside the van. The seats had been shot to pieces and the car’s interior was splattered with blood. There were a few people strewn all over inside the wreckage. Bai Qingqing couldn’t tell if they were dead or not.

“Young Lady…” Bai Qingqing’s attention snapped back to Gu Mang. She could not tell who was bloodier, the mercenaries or her, but the b.l.o.o.d.y wound on her right palm looked downright nasty.

I’m here to protect her, but I ended up letting her get hurt. I’ve failed in my duties.

“I’ll call for a doctor right away.” Bai Qingqing’s voice sounded strained as she whipped out her phone.

Bai Sui’s car came to a sudden stop near where they were standing. He quickly got out of the car and strode over without bothering to close the car door.

Blood was still dripping down Gu Mang’s hand, but she didn’t seem to be worried about it as she stood still staring in the direction the mercenaries had come from with a murderous look.

The van she had seen was long gone, but it was obvious that the mercenaries’ target was her.

Bai Sui’s face darkened as he wordlessly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and folded it into a triangle with trembling fingers. He reached out to bandage Gu Mang’s hand, but she s.h.i.+fted her body away and took the handkerchief from him. “I’ll do it myself.”

Bai Sui frowned as he watched her bandage her right palm using her teeth and left hand. He then turned to look at Bai Qingqing. “I’ll leave you to handle these people. I’ll take the Young Lady to the hospital to treat her injury.”

Bai Qingqing had already notified the hospital and she nodded solemnly when she heard what Bai Sui said.

“Keep the driver alive.” Gu Mang’s voice was deep and hostile.

Bai Qingqing glanced at the driver, who was slumped over the wheel, before respectfully saying, “Noted.”

Gu Mang and Bai Sui then turned around to leave.

Bai Qingqing glanced down at Gu Mang’s injured right hand.

Tomorrow’s compet.i.tion…
