Chapter 806: Chapter 810: The Scheming Gu Family Members
Gu Junzhu turned a deaf ear until he had trodden all thirty-some darts into the man’s body.
There were three still showing outside his body.
Those three had missed their mark, hitting his vitals. To step on them would have killed him instantly.
Gu Junzhu didn’t want him to die that easily.
Guo Mu’s screams had rendered his voice hoarse, and he had lost control of his bladder and bowels, creating a filthy mess beneath him.
Pain, humiliation, remorse—his emotions were a tangled mess.
If he had known this man was even more ruthless than him, he certainly would have stayed far away and never provoked him in any way.
The pain was too much.
Living even a second longer was torture for him.
Gu Junzhu squatted down beside him, looking into his eyes, “It was Fang Mingzhu who asked you to kill Fang Yao and Mi Sheng, right?”
Enduring pain akin to being slowly sliced, Guo Mu was like a fish thrown ashore and gutted, only able to gasp for air without uttering a word.
Gu Junzhu didn’t care that he couldn’t respond and continued, “You would kill for the Young Lady of Fang family, you must love her deeply, right? I heard you have no children of your own, and Fang Mingzhu acts coquettishly towards you, do you regard her as a daughter?”
Guo Mu’s eyes bulged, and he uttered in a hoarse, broken voice, “What… what do you want to do?”
Gu Junzhu’s gaze was cold as frost, “I am wondering whether it would be better to let Fang Mingzhu know of your death before sending her to her death, or to let you know of Fang Mingzhu’s death before you die.”
Guo Mu’s pupils contracted sharply, and he made a raspy noise, “No, it’s not Mingzhu’s fault, it’s all me…”
“You’re still protecting her at this point, which shows you truly do care deeply for her,” Gu Junzhu’s mouth curled in a chilling arc, “then let Fang Mingzhu go ahead of you, then you can die peacefully.”
“You… you can’t…” Guo Mu tried to lift his head to say more, but his physical strength was depleted, his lips trembling violently, unable to finish his sentence.
“Murderers pay with their lives,” Gu Junzhu stood up, towering over him and said softly, “You and Fang Mingzhu, before taking lives, should have thought about this principle.”
“It was me…” Guo Mu exerted all his strength just to squeeze these two words out.
“Rest assured,” Gu Junzhu said, “She is dead, and your turn is coming soon. On the Netherworld path, you can continue to look after her.”
Ignoring Guo Mu further, Gu Junzhu turned and walked towards the flickering exit, “Call the police.”
“Yes!” His subordinate nodded in agreement, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the police.
The police arrived quickly.
Seeing Guo Mu on the ground, riddled with darts, the policeman was dumbfounded.
Gu Chi said, “We were strolling in the mountains and came upon him. He had a gun and was about to shoot at us. My colleague has always loved playing with darts and, in a moment of panic, threw all the darts in his pocket at him. Officer, this must count as self-defense, right?”
Policeman: “It probably… should count, right?”
Although the scene didn’t look quite like what they described.
Yet, the man lying on the ground was the desperate villain who had shot two of their officers and killed an innocent victim with a sniper rifle.
For such a vicious criminal, it seemed any method used to capture him wasn’t excessive.
“That’s good to hear, we were so worried about being accused of excessive defense,” Gu Chi said, visibly relieved.
“Shouldn’t… shouldn’t happen,” the policeman wiped the sweat from his brow, “I doubt anyone will bring a case for him…”
They were well aware of Guo Mu’s situation.
Guo Mu had no relatives, and his closest bonds were with the Fang Family.
With both the Family Head and the Young Lady of Fang family incarcerated, he doubted any other members of the Fang Family had the inclination to help a vicious ranger fight a lawsuit.
“That’s great, oh, please wait a moment,” Gu Chi stopped the men about to carry Guo Mu away, squatted down, and pulled a dart from the closest to Guo Mu’s heart, “I’m sorry, my colleague is very fond of his darts, could you let me retrieve the darts before you take him away?”
