Chapter 193: Chapter 192: The person you’re looking for is me.
In the blink of an eye, three people stood at the entrance of the basement.
Two men and one woman, all exceedingly good-looking.
The girl in the middle was even wearing a Kunpeng High School uniform.
Guo Zihao stretched his neck in disbelief: Lu Mian, Director Qimo, and Dr. Ye who frequently visited their campus?
What kind of combination was this?
Guo Zihao looked at the three people in amazement and shock, his gaze finally resting on Lu Mian.
A mix of information flickered through his mind, the scene where he chatted with Lu Mian about the jewelry heist, the casual talks about the unsolved cases his dad had, and the image of Lu Mian eating a hamburger…
Now, except for the cartoon cathead which he wasn’t sure about, it seemed that all the pieces fit together…
In an instant, he got something, a surge of passion ignited in his heart, something was clamoring for release, he wanted to scream with excitement.
But the last shred of rationality made him suppress his excitement, he forcibly contained his exhilaration, and just muttered a quiet, “Brother Mian.”
Lu Mian seemed to hear him, and in the semi-darkness, he looked over, giving him a reassuring glance.
Guo Zihao nodded repeatedly.
The appearance of Lu Mian and his two companions prompted the underlings who were quietly squatting in the basement to stand up. The underlings silently picked up the weapons at hand, each desperately suppressing their rage, their faces filled with hatred, ready for a do-or-die battle.
Bao Liang clapped his hands, smiling coldly at the three with satisfaction.
“It seems the person I’ve been waiting for has arrived,” he said, eyeing the three: “Please tell me, which one of you is the Guardian God of Wucheng?”
While clapping, Bao Liang took a few steps forward, his face with the Fu Manchu mustache ominous.
“We are reasonable people. Whoever wrongs us, we’ll settle the score with them. If that person is willing to step forward, I can guarantee no harm will come to the others.”
His underlings all poised, ready to charge forward at any moment.
Lu Mian scanned the situation quickly and assessed it.
There were still 31 remnants of the local gang, 6 guarding Guo Zihao and his mother, 4 guarding Guo Shuitian, and the rest were right in front of them. Twenty had guns, all ready for a grand showdown.
Facing so many gun muzzles pointed at her, any little girl would probably be scared.
Lu Mian, serene and unfazed even facing a group of desperate outlaws, showed no signs of backing down.
Bao Liang’s gaze suddenly fell on Lu Mian.
The sight of this slender, delicate girl in a school uniform appearing here was quite surprising.
“Little sister, are you the Guardian God of Wucheng?” His tone was lax, clearly joking.
Guo Zihao and Guo Shuitian tensely clenched their fists.
Before Lu Mian could speak, Xiao Qimo stepped forward, firmly guarding Lu Mian.
“She’s not,” he stated somberly.
Lu Mian looked up at him with a complicated gaze in her eyes.
His handsome and elegant face, under the dim light, was oddly thrilling.
“The person you’re looking for is me,” Xiao Qimo said with a calm and composed tone.
Those words immediately attracted tons of hatred.
All the resentment that the gang remnants had for the Guardian God of Wucheng burst forth at that moment; if it weren’t for this busybody, they wouldn’t have been reduced to such a plight!
Their boss wouldn’t have ended up in a place where he would never see daylight again!
Bao Liang squinted his eyes venomously, grinding his teeth.
The underlings in the back cocked their guns, ready at any moment to turn Xiao Qimo into a sieve.
Ye Jinwen looked back in fear, glaring at Xiao Qimo.
Was his brother insane?
It would have been better to say that none of the three were, so why attract all the firepower onto himself?!
Did he know what he was doing?
