282: Chapter 282: That’s Not Necessarily the Case (Second Update) 282: Chapter 282: That’s Not Necessarily the Case (Second Update) Perched on the sofa with his feet up, drinking red wine while watching an animated movie?
Weren’t you screaming for help on the phone?
Damn, we’ve made such a big commotion over here, everything was ready, and you’re playing me ?
Where are the assassins?
“Yo, Uncle Ding, you’re here too, come sit and have a drink,” Zhang Fan lifted his glass and chuckled.
Everyone was utterly convinced.
Especially Ding Yang, who had just been yelling for help, now he’s acting like he’s in his own home?
“The assassins and Long Xiao are lying over there,” Zhang Fan said, pointing to the three people stacked up beside him.
Hua Ling looked at the three people stacked beside him, originally not paying them any mind, having thought they were just knocked-out bodyguards.
Zhang Fan shrugged and said, “Anyway, Long Xiao says they are assassins, I don’t know, but they are too weak.”
The indifferent expression on Zhang Fan’s face made Hua Ling and the others roll their eyes again.
Is this some kind of joke?
“Oh right, these are their guns,” Zhang Fan said while pulling out two guns from his waistband and tossing them on the coffee table.
Suddenly, everyone’s expression turned serious.
Especially Ding Yang, his eyes beginning to smolder with anger.
“What’s going on, how can someone bring guns into S City!”
Ding Yang’s voice was filled with rage as he stared fiercely at a middle-aged man beside him.
Since the incident last time, S City had gone on high alert, and he couldn’t imagine that someone had managed to bring guns into the city.
If another wave of last time’s events happened, even he would be punished.
“Go verify their identities!” Ding Yang ordered in a low voice, then sat next to Zhang Fan, his eyes glinting with suspicion, “How did you get over here?”
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Fan slowly said, “Gold Tooth told me, said Long Xiao was hiring assassins to deal with me again, so I came to check it out.
Unexpectedly, I overheard the conversation between Long Xiao and them.
If I hadn’t been clever, I’d be lying there now.”
Why would he hire assassins to deal with you?” Ding Yang asked.
“Didn’t I beat him up last time?
Who knew he was so petty,” Zhang Fan said with a shrug.
“Chief Ding, they’re indeed assassins, Che Hou, Gu Dong, the information has been verified,” Hua Ling said, holding a tablet computer.
Ding Yang’s eyes immediately sharpened, “Take them away, investigate thoroughly.”
“Zhang Fan, I hope you won’t leak this out.
Assassins entering S City would make people anxious,” Ding Yang said.
“No problem, no problem.
But Uncle Ding, you’d better keep a good watch, I’m just a student.
If Long Xiao gets out and hires assassins against me again, I won’t be able to handle it,” Zhang Fan said.
“Don’t worry, the assassins’ identities have been accounted for.
As for Long Xiao, he might not have the chance to come out again,” Ding Yang said with a chilly voice.
You dare hire assassins, spend your life in prison.
Zhang Fan finally nodded assuredly, then stood up, glass in hand, and walked out, “Then I’m heading home, you guys have fun.”
It was only after Zhang Fan’s back disappeared that Ding Yang’s side got busy.
“Captain, that kid is ruthless, he dislocated all the joints of these two guys,” one person said.
“Any other injuries?” Hua Ling asked.
“No, other than the dislocated joints, there are no other signs of injury.”
“What about Long Xiao?” Hua Ling asked.
“He’s just been knocked out.”
“What’s the deal with those bodyguards at the door?” Hua Ling asked again.
“Apart from one who was knocked out, the rest likely ran into walls themselves.
By the way, the villa is equipped with surveillance cameras, shall we check them out?” the man said, looking up inquiringly.
“Alright, let’s take a look at the surveillance footage first,” Ding Yang said slowly.
When they found the surveillance room and opened the footage, they were drenched in cold sweat upon seeing Zhang Fan holding a gun and pointing it at the bodyguard with a bullet in his mouth.
This was a real gun, what if Zhang Fan had actually fired it?
The consequences would have been very severe.
But when they saw a bunch of bodyguards knocking themselves out against a wall on the screen, their mouths fell open in shock.
Could that even work?
“No, rewind it, let’s see when Zhang Fan first appeared at the entrance of the villa,” Ding Yang demanded in a deep voice.
“Stop,” Ding Yang shouted as he saw the footage of Che Hou and another person leaving the villa.
“Hmm, whose voice is that?”
Hearing the cursing in the surveillance audio, Hua Ling and the others stood dumbstruck once more.
Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan’s voice?
“Fast forward to when Zhang Fan appears at the entrance for the second time,” Ding Yang commanded in a low voice, his eyes flickering with golden light.
“Nine o’clock and one minute!”
“Three minutes, and he took down two assassins?”
“Zhang Fan has run out!” Hua Ling said with focused eyes.
Dragging two people, those two assassins!” someone exclaimed in shock.
What followed was the footage of their arrival at the villa.
“Chief Ding, I still can’t figure out how Zhang Fan took down two assassins.
Judging by the timing, the scene of the incident isn’t far, probably just outside somewhere.
In such a short distance, apart from Zhang Fan’s voice earlier, there was no other sound.
But these guys, they are assassins, how come there wasn’t even time for them to scream?” Hua Ling said, furrowing her brows.
The light flickered in Ding Yang’s eyes, “Let’s go outside and check.”
Soon, the group went outside.
“Look, there are pieces of a mobile phone here,” Hua Ling said as she crouched down.
“It’s likely Zhang Fan’s phone, this guy…
did he really knock out two assassins with a mobile phone?”
Ding Yang furrowed his brows, then a smile emerged on his lips, “This guy, his acting skills are really top-notch.
The voice we heard before must have been Zhang Fan acting.
They probably encountered each other, and then Zhang Fan, catching them off guard, knocked them both out.”
Hua Ling’s brows tightened as she expressed her doubts, “But how did Zhang Fan knock out two assassins so quickly?”
“Walking from the entrance to here takes a minute, and going back another minute.
So, Zhang Fan took out two assassins within a minute, and did so without making a sound, how did he do it?”
Hearing Hua Ling’s words, the group was shocked once again.
That’s impossible, heavens, these two are assassins.”
A glint of brilliance flickered in Ding Yang’s eyes.
Even he was shocked after Hua Ling’s analysis.
“Haven’t you all been training together for the past month?
Is Zhang Fan really that terrifying?” Ding Yang asked.
“No, that kid is just a freak.
He mastered Hearing Shadows, which Zhang senior taught us, in just one month.
We’ve barely grasped the basics, and this guy, every morning and evening, he does a 20-kilometer cross-country with a 40KG load and still comes back full of energy,” Hua Ling said with a sense of awe.
“Heh, this kid, he will join the military after the college entrance exam, and I’m really looking forward to how many years it will take for him to get into Dragon Group,” Ding Yang remarked wistfully.
“At least five years, I suppose.”
“Not necessarily!” Ding Yang shook his head.
