Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Terrifying Reed Lake (10) Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Terrifying Reed Lake (10) Gu Qiaoqiao had a checkup at the hospital and, finding no issues, she went home first.
Meanwhile, the Public Security of the Imperial Capital had already locked down the entire third floor of the hospitalâs ward.
It seemed as if a layer of dark clouds had enveloped the skies above the entire Imperial Capital.
It was already evening.
Gu Qiaoqiao followed Uncle Gu back home.
The cries of Zhan Yanxiangâs grieving parents seemed to still echo in her ears.
Zhan Yanxiang was a junior in university, the same age as An Xiaotong, and they both attended the same school.
He left early in the morning in high spirits, never expecting that when he returned, he would be forever parted from this world.
This incident had also shocked the entire Imperial Capital.
Ning Wanru received a phone call from Lin Fanpeng and, following his instructions, she numbly nodded before finally hanging up.
Then she collapsed onto the sofa.
How could this be possible?
Lin Fanpeng, at the other end of the phone line, stepped out of the room.
He looked up at the gloomy sky.
His face was even darker than the sky at this moment.
How many years had it been since his deployments had begun to fail, one after another?
Before each plan, he had rehearsed thoroughly, ensuring they were foolproof.
But every time, beneath this apparent infallibility, he suffered losses and wounds.
The people he had painstakingly cultivated over the years had died or been injured, a dozen or more in just the past six months.
And the opposing sideâŠ
Thinking of this, Lin Fanpengâs heart skipped a beat, an unwarranted shiver spreading at the bottom of his heart.
Apart from the death of the insignificant Zhan Yanxiang, the opponents had not suffered the slightest loss.
Were the adversaries too strong?
Or had he not planned well enough?
There was no time now for detailed consideration.
With a wave of his hand, a man of average stature appeared like a ghost, âLaoliu, go to the hospital and find Poison King Bee to send those four brothers on their wayâŠâ
âYes, Chief!â Laoliu nodded, then pivoted on his foot, vanishing into the yard in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fanpeng gritted his teeth, while a man in his fifties who had been following close by asked in a low voice, âWhat do we do now?â
âOld Sun, go and destroy Poison King Beeâs location first. Take care of the remaining brothers of Big Head and arrange for them to hide in the basement of the dense forest. Donât come out for a monthâŠâ
âWeâre not leaving the city?â Old Sun asked.
âAll the exits are now under martial law, we canât get outâŠâ
âOkay, Iâll go now.â
âIssue my order, halt all operations for now!â Lin Fanpeng commanded with ferocity and reluctance.
âYes, Chief, Iâll convey the message right awayâŠâ Old Sun said, then flickered and went to the adjacent room.
There lay the worldâs most advanced communication equipment, smuggled back from overseas.
A series of commands were secretly issued.
And Lin Fanpeng clenched his walking stick, thinking that he might need to meet the Gu Family, especially Gu Qiaoqiao.
He had learned the rough details through Lin Qinghuanâs retelling.
Gu Qiaoqiao, a girl, turned out to be more formidable than his trained men.
Could this be possible?
Deep down, he was not fully convinced.
Perhaps Lin Qinghuan, in an effort to divert his hatred and to prevent him from taking out his anger on Qin Yize, had blamed Gu Qiaoqiao instead.
After all, Qinghuan disliked Gu Qiaoqiao the most.
So, was it really like this?
But the plan at that time had included Qin Yize.
Qin Yize, no matter how powerful he was, would have no choice but to compromise when faced with the captivity of the girls, especially Gu Qiaoqiao.
Therefore, this plan was undoubtedly a hundred percent successful.
