Chapter 232 Assassinating Zong Lan
When the guests were sent to the gate of the palace, they were surprised to find that the magic special police brigade of Kunyang City Security Bureau had blocked the palace!
The magic special police were well-equipped and serious, with the magic auxiliary machine in their hands adjusted to a state that could be started at any time, and their eyes were staring at the direction of the palace.
As the palace is located in a remote area, not in the downtown area, so there are not many people, but some people still look over here, guessing what happened.
They didn't take pictures, obviously because they were warned by the magic special police.
"Could it be that the old prince is prepared?"
The guests guessed in their hearts, otherwise it would be difficult to understand why the magic special police would surround the palace.
He Xiang walked up to the second master of the Xiong family and asked, "What's the situation inside?"
"Who do you want to ask?"
"Everyone!"
"Go find the old prince. I'm going to send these guests away now."
He Xiang nodded, then said to the headset, "Everyone, pack up and stop the combat readiness!"
After that, He Xiang walked into the gate of the palace, and the magic special police began to pack up in an orderly manner.
…
"Bai Li Chengze is dead."
Li Xiuzhi listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "It's good that he died, it's good that he died. That guy finally embarked on the same path as his senior brother, and there is no turning back, hahahaha!"
"Thank you for your hard work in monitoring, continue to hide."
Li Xiuzhi hung up the phone and looked out the window with a relaxed face: "The efficiency is quite high. It only took a few days to solve Bai Li Chengze. He must give him some sweet things, otherwise he will not be able to do things well in the future!"
…
"Fortunately you didn't kill him, fortunately you didn't kill him, you still stopped, it's really great, it's great!"
In the spiritual world, Ling'er said with lingering fear, and the anxiety and anger just now were no longer on her face, and the rest was relief.
"You stopped subconsciously when you saw Baili Chengze's sight, which means that you are still kind in your heart. I must bring you back to the right path!"
Su Yian was silent. Ling'er now gave him the feeling of a supervisor, supervising his every move and not letting him go astray. He didn't know whether it was her own intention or someone asked her to do so.
"No, no, it's not to bring you back to the right path." Ling'er said to herself: "I can't let you kill people casually... Hey, it doesn't seem right... In short, you can't do things like killing Baili Chengze, do you hear me!?"
"Oh!" Su Yian responded and stopped listening to Ling'er's nagging.
At this time, he was in Xiong Chumo's room. Xiong Chumo hadn't woken up yet. The fact was too much of a blow to him.
If he woke up and knew about his father's death, I don't know if he could still bear it.
"Xiaoxin, Chumo will get better." Beiming Zhiyao comforted Dongfang Xiaoxin.
Dongfang Xiaoxin nodded gently and whispered: "When he wakes up, I should tell him what happened. We have to go through this hurdle."
"When he wakes up, I will tell him." Xiong Bin pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Dongfang Xiaoxin: "Thank you for taking care of Chu Mo."
"Old Prince!" Bei Ming Zhiyao and the other two bowed to Xiong Bin.
Xiong Bin nodded gently, glanced at Xiong Chu Mo on the bed, and then turned to look at Su Yian: "Come out with me."
Su Yian didn't say much, and followed Xiong Bin out. Bei Ming Zhiyao and Dongfang Xiaoxin looked at each other, and the old prince's tone seemed to be very familiar with Su Yian.
"Prince!" Su Yian looked at Xiong Bin.
Xiong Bin said without saying much, "The reason why Lu Chengwang came here is to discuss cooperation with Xiong Zhaolin."
"I don't know the specific content of the cooperation, but I think it is most likely related to Liuyangjiao."
Su Yian looked at Xiong Bin: "Your Highness, you seem to be under surveillance and imprisonment by Xiong Zhaolin, but in fact you know everything that happened."
"When you are alive, you have to keep some tricks." Xiong Bin said calmly: "By the way, there is a batch of arms returning from Liuyangjiao that will go through the land route of Jingnan Province. I think this should be useful to you."
"Arms..." Su Yian thought of the advanced weapons and equipment that the Zong family gave to the Xiao family in Liuyangjiao to explore the ruins.
At that time, I was surprised that the Zong family had such a big hand and got so many elite equipment from the empire. Now it seems that it is not sold to the Xiao family, but lent to the Xiao family.
Yes, such a large batch of elite equipment, once the military finds out that the whereabouts are unknown, and reports it, it will be difficult for the Zong family to suppress this matter.
If other things are added...
Su Yian already has a bottom line in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Yian expressed his gratitude. This information was very important to him.
Xiong Bin shook his head: "I just hope you can take care of Chu Mo."
"It seems that Your Highness has already chosen someone."
"Not really, I'm still quite fair." Xiong Bin said with a smile: "Okay, I have to go and teach my sons a lesson."
"Your Highness, take care."
After watching Xiong Bin leave, Su Yian immediately called Wang Jingtang: "Pay close attention to the movement of a batch of arms transported back from Liuyangjiao. Once you find anything, immediately monitor it and don't lose it!"
After the arrangement, Su Yian turned back to the room.
"What did the prince say to you when he went out?" This was Dongfang Xiaoxin's voice. Obviously, she was the most concerned, after all, it might involve Xiong Chu Mo.
"Let me help him more in magic engineering." Su Yian replied.
"That's it?" Dongfang Xiaoxin was a little skeptical.
"What else?" Su Yian said speechlessly: "I'm not familiar with the prince, and such a big thing happened in the palace today, he also wants to care about his grandchildren."
"Okay." Dongfang Xiaoxin said, and then changed the subject: "When do you plan to return to school?"
Beiming Zhiyao looked at Su Yian, and Su Yian said: "I don't know, I have to wait a few days."
"Do you have anything else here?" Dongfang Xiaoxin asked.
"Senior sister, don't be like a guard, breaking the casserole to ask the bottom." Su Yian looked at her: "Just take good care of him."
"Uh..." Dongfang Xiaoxin showed an apology on her face: "Sorry, I'm rude."
Su Yian looked at Beiming Zhiyao: "I'm leaving first, what about you?"
Beiming Zhiyao said: "I'm not leaving first, if you have something important, go and do it first."
"Yeah." Su Yian nodded and turned to leave.
"Zhiyao, you said he knows someone here, is there anything important to do?" Dongfang Xiaoxin asked.
Beiming Zhiyao pinched Dongfang Xiaoxin's cheek: "You and Situ Yue are learning to gossip more and more."
"Even you are speaking for him, you really forget your sisters when you have a man!" Dongfang Xiaoxin said dissatisfiedly.
"He woke up." Beiming Zhiyao pointed to the bed: "I'll go out first."
...
Zhengyang City, the capital of Northeast Province, National First Hospital.
Zong Lan sat in front of a bed, peeling an apple in his hand, and a doctor was examining the little child on the bed.
Click!
Zong Lan took a bite of the apple and asked: "How is it?"
The doctor replied: "Miss Zong is no longer in danger of life."
"Is there anything wrong with her organs?" Zong Lan asked nonchalantly.
The doctor's mouth twitched, and an unspeakable meaning flashed in his eyes, as if he was shocked by the cruelty of this mother.
"If you take good care of yourself, there will be no problem." The doctor said quickly.
Zong Lan nodded gently: "Thank you for your hard work, you can go out first."
The doctor bowed to Zong Lan, and then quickly left the ward that made him feel cold.
Zong Lan threw the fruit core into the trash can beside him, looked at Zong Xinxin who was breathing with an oxygen mask, and smiled slightly: "Xinxin, you have to get better, you have to save your brother."
After Tian Gonggong and Lu Chengwang and others returned to the imperial capital, Zong Lan was already waiting there, and then took a special plane to take Zong Xinxin back to the northeast.
Here, Zong Xinxin received the best treatment and was pulled back from the gates of hell.
"Master!"
A voice sounded at the door, and Zong Lan stood up and walked out: "What's the matter?"
"The old master wants to see you."
"I know."
In another intensive care ward, Zong Lan saw the figure of Lu Zhehan looking at the window at a glance.
The strongest man of the Zong family, the previous master Zong Mingqi, is Zong Lan's father.
"Father, you're looking for me?" Zong Lan looked at him and asked. She knew that Zong Mingqi loved Lu Zhehan the most and regarded him as the hope for the rise of the Zong family.
Zong Mingqi turned around with a cane: "How is the girl's health?"
"She is out of danger and can undergo a heart transplant after a period of recuperation."
"Is there anything wrong with her heart?"
"Nothing abnormal."
"That's good."
Seeing Zong Mingqi nod with relief, Zong Lan asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time in her mind--
"You seem to value Zong Xinxin's bloodline very much. Is there any reason for this?"
Zong Mingqi glanced at her: "Why, do you want to feel sorry for your daughter at this time?"
"No." Zong Lan shook his head: "It's just strange. When it comes to matching Han'er's heart, there are actually other options. , but why is Zong Xinxin the best match for him? "
"Because of the Chu family bloodline." Zong Mingqi said lightly: "Although the Chu family is not a magic family, there is a strange gene in the bloodline. I have not discovered the specific effect of this gene, but Zong Xinxin does have it in his body."
"And if Zong Xinxin's heart is transplanted to Han'er, Han'er's talent and upper limit will be improved!"
"Is there such an effect?" Zong Lan was a little surprised: "If so, why kill all the Chu family members?"
"Because I can't figure it out, and I don't want others to know the secret of the Chu family bloodline." Zong Mingqi's voice was flat, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Zong Lan felt a chill all over his body. His father was much more cruel than himself. He killed the Chu family just because of selfishness and didn't want other magic families to make progress...
This kind of cruelty, he can't learn it.
"Are you sure Chu Zhengyang is dead?"
"Yes."
Zong Mingqi nodded: "Zong Xinxin is the only one left in the world with the blood of the Chu family, so I feel relieved."
Zong Lan lowered his head and said nothing. Zong Mingqi spoke again: "Oh, by the way, how are those things handled? They won't be discovered, right?"
"No, Chu Zhengfan is dead, Chu Zhengyang is dead, and Zong Xinxin is in our hands. No one knows those secrets anymore."
"Are you sure Zong Xinxin didn't tell anyone else?" Zong Mingqi asked expressionlessly: "Zong Xinxin was captured by the guy called Gu Xiao in Liuyangjiao for a while, wasn't he?"
"Who would believe the words of a small warlord in Liuyangjiao? And I also asked Xiao Zhuo to test it, but Gu Xiao didn't know about it."
"That's good." Zong Mingqi said: "I feel relieved about what you do. At first, I thought you were cautious in doing things, so I allowed you to take charge of all the affairs of the Zong family. After so many years, facts have proved that my vision is right. "
"It's all because of your good teachings, father."
"Get the shares of Tianhong Group as soon as possible. This group must be controlled!"
"I have already made an appointment with Lawyer Liu. If he knows the truth, he will know what choice to make!"
…
On the evening of November 12, 2515 in the New Calendar, a five-star hotel in Zhengyang City.
Room 203.
"This is something prepared for you. You must succeed in one attack tomorrow, otherwise your family..."
"Don't worry, but don't forget what you promised me. You must give my family a life without worries about food and clothing."
"Of course!" As he said, the man took out a courier and a piece of paper from the side: "This is the courier you are going to send to Zong Lan tomorrow. Also, this is Zong Lan's regular courier. Disguise it well and don't reveal it. flaw."
"This is my strength, so don't worry."
…
At nine o'clock in the morning on November 13, 2515 in the New Calendar, Tianhong Group Headquarters.
The 30th floor of the office building is the chairman's office. At this time, Zong Lan is sitting in the chairman's position, looking at the forty-year-old man opposite the desk with an indifferent expression.
This man is just an ordinary person, but he is an outstanding hero among ordinary people. He is the president of the Northeastern Province Lawyers Association and a famous barrister in the entire three northeastern provinces.
"Lawyer Liu, you should understand what kind of disaster the will in your hand will bring to you." Zong Lan said lightly: "This is the first time I have discussed this matter face to face with you."
"Hand over the will made by Chu Zhengfan, and I will spare your life."
Lawyer Liu sneered: "I only know the words "law is supreme". Mr. Chu trusted me and handed over the will to me. I will not do anything to regret Mr. Chu."
"Besides, do you dare to kill me?" Lawyer Liu said without fear: "The Zong family is a giant to a small ordinary person like me, but it is nothing in front of the country of Da Qin."
"With the existence of the Magical Constitution, you dare to kill me?"
"In terms of sharp tongue, I won't compare with you, but the "Magic Constitution" can guarantee that you will not be killed by magicians, but ordinary people can."
"The Zong family has developed for so many years, and there are many people who want to hug our big tree. Lawyer Liu, your life is not guaranteed."
Lawyer Liu smiled lightly: "Before entering this building, I was well prepared, and I can tell you clearly that all our conversations have been backed up."
Hearing this, Zong Lan frowned slightly and heard Lawyer Liu continue: "To confront a magic family, you must be fully prepared to ensure your life is safe."
"As for, for a dead man?"
"A high-ranking person like you won't understand." Lawyer Liu said calmly: "This is my persistence, you can't take it away."
"Can't you take it away?" Zong Lan stretched her eyebrows and tapped lightly on the desk. Her space window popped up and turned to a picture.
The picture showed a woman and two ten-year-old boys tied together, guarded by two men wearing black suits and holding guns.
"Your wife and two children will let you take away the so-called perseverance."
Lawyer Liu's face turned pale: "Why, how could this happen?"
"Do you think it will be fine if you move your family abroad?" Zong Lan sneered: "Although our family is not as good as a first-class magic family, its strength is not too weak. How can we still have no collaborators abroad?"
"How about a will in exchange for the safety of your family." Zong Lan looked at Lawyer Liu expressionlessly.
"Don't you feel shameful?" Lawyer Liu stared at Zong Lan angrily: "As the head of a magic family, if you do such a despicable and shameless thing, aren't you afraid of the ridicule of other magicians?"
"Does anyone know?" Zong Lan chuckled: "What if you record our conversation? Why don't you hand it over obediently later?"
"You are just an ordinary person after all. This era is an era where magic is supreme!"
Lawyer Liu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Zong Lan and couldn't say a word. Finally, he sighed and lowered his arms.
"I'll give you three minutes to make a decision. Don't make a mistake."
After saying that, Zong Lan leaned on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes, crossed his hands, and tapped the back of his right hand with the index finger of his left hand.
As time passed by second by second, Lawyer Liu's expression kept changing, big beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He put his head in his hands and pulled his hair hard. Anyone would hesitate when faced with such a choice.
On the one hand, it is the life of the family, and on the other hand, it is the perseverance in one's heart, which is 'righteousness'.
"Time is up."
Zong Lan opened his eyes and looked at Lawyer Liu calmly: "Make your choice."
Lawyer Liu raised his head and saw the two men guarding his family in the space window raising their guns and pulling the bolts.
"No, don't, let them go, they are innocent."
Facing Lawyer Liu's shouting, Zong Lan said indifferently: "Innocent? No, because they are your family members, and you are the holder of Chu Zhengfan's will."
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
"I understand..." Lawyer Liu spat out these words with difficulty.
"That's enough." A smile appeared on Zong Lan's face: "No one will know about our conversation, and you will still be a famous lawyer, a lawyer without any stain."
"Let my family go." Lawyer Liu looked up at Zong Lan, his face twisted, and tears could not stop flowing down his cheeks.
"Submit your will, and you will naturally do it."
Lawyer Liu nodded, took out his mobile phone, and was about to make a call, but at this moment——
Tuk Tuk Tuk...
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came in at the same time.
"Master Zong, your express delivery."
Zong Lan glanced at Lawyer Liu, closed the space window, and then said, "Come in."
The door of the office was pushed open, and a man in courier clothes walked in with a bright smile on his face: "Master, your courier."
Zong Lan had a faint smile on his face, looked at the package in the courier's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wang, please put it on the table."
Xiao Wang nodded, walked to the desk and put the package on the table. Then he looked at Zong Lan and said, "Sister Zong, can I open it for you now?"
"No, I'll do it myself this time."
Zong Lan smiled slightly. At this time, Xiao Wang glanced at Lawyer Liu: "Sister Zong, he is..."
"Don't ask so many questions." After saying that, Zong Lan stood up from the chair, magic power appeared at his fingertips, and directly removed the outermost packaging of the package.
After the packaging was removed, a delicate copper box was revealed. Looking at the copper box, Zong Lan's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he stretched out his right hand to pick up the copper box.
The switch of the copper box required fingerprint verification. Zong Lan pressed her right thumb on the copper box with ease. While doing so, she raised her head and glanced at Xiao Wang.
"You haven't left yet?"
There was no doubt in his tone. After all, Xiao Wang had been delivering couriers to her for three years, and there had never been any mistakes. He had been accepted as a peripheral member of the clan.
"I?"
Xiao Wang showed a smile, and Zong Lan frowned slightly. She didn't like this smile very much, and it made people feel flustered.
Zizzi···
At this time, Zong Lan felt a burst of electricity spread throughout her body. She frowned slightly, but she didn't take it to heart yet and looked towards the copper box. At this sight, her face suddenly turned pale.
Inside the copper box, a piece of paper had the word 'death' written on it, and then the piece of paper burned to ashes, revealing a talisman under the piece of paper.
Magic Talisman!
A layer of green light appeared on the surface of the magic talisman. The light condensed into a physical object and became vines. They wrapped around Zong Lan's limbs, waist and neck with lightning speed, making her unable to move. Even the magic power cannot be mobilized.
Because this magic is the eighth-level magic [Trapped Like a Giant Tree], and Zong Lan is only a high-level level 1 magician.
"Wang Zhuang, what's going on?!" Zong Lan's beautiful eyes almost burst into flames as he looked at Wang Zhuang and shouted angrily.
Lawyer Liu on the side looked at the sudden change with wide eyes, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
Wang Zhuang still had a bright smile on his face. He took off his hat, put it on the desk, raised his right hand and gently pulled it on his chin.
The fake face was torn off, and a completely different face came into Zong Lan's sight. The unfamiliar face made Zong Lan panic.
"Who are you? How do you know Wangzhuang?!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that the day of your death, head of the clan, has come."
"No, you can't kill me. I am the head of the Zong family. I have a lot of money. I can give you more money than my employer. Don't kill me!" Zong Lan shouted in panic.
Lawyer Liu looked at Zong Lan. Is this the same woman with a great temperament and a calm and calm look just now?
Sure enough, when people face death, their true nature will be revealed.
The man raised a bright smile, revealing his white teeth. Then he raised his right hand and pointed the gun at Zong Lan without saying a word——
"Please, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
However--
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Eight consecutive gunshots rang out, and the alarm buzzed in the office. Zong Lan looked at the stranger in disbelief, and lowered his head with difficulty to look at his chest and abdomen.
In the eight gun holes, bright red blood dyed the suit red from the inside out. Severe pain spread throughout the body. The vines wrapped around the body disappeared at this time. Zong Lan's body swayed and fell to the ground.
There was blood gushing out of her mouth, leaving her unable to say a word. Her eyes were fixed on the stranger, and her right hand stretched out with difficulty, as if to crush him, but in the end, it still hung weakly on the floor. .
The life in Zong Lan's eyes completely disappeared, but he did not close his eyes and refused to close his eyes.
Bangdang...
Lawyer Liu sat on the ground in fear. The chair under his butt was pushed aside by him. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. In Zhengyang City, someone actually dared to assassinate Zong Lan at Tianhong Group!
Chu Zhengfan passed away, and Zong Lan was his wife. There was no problem in temporarily taking over the affairs of Tianhong Group, but now, this woman was assassinated in the office!
"you you you you……"
Lawyer Liu pointed at the killer. At this moment, he lost his sharp tongue and stuttered, unable to speak a word.
The killer glanced at him, with a relieved smile on his face.
Lawyer Liu didn't understand such a smile. He was obviously a killer, so why was it a relief to kill someone? This is so strange!
Deng Deng Deng...
There was a rush of footsteps coming from far away, and then dozens of security guards rushed in. Without exception, they were all magicians, and they were quite powerful.
When the leading security captain saw Zong Lan lying in a pool of blood, his expression immediately changed: "Quick, call an ambulance!!!!"
Then he looked at the killer holding the pistol in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Take him down, take down this murderer!!!"
As the security captain, he has the responsibility to protect Zong Lan's safety in Tianhong Group. Now that Zong Lan is lying in a pool of blood, he cannot escape the blame. He can clearly understand what will be waiting for him.
We must catch this murderer and make up for the crime with merit!
Facing these magicians who were only at the elementary level, the killer did not put up any resistance and allowed them to take the gun from his hand and roughly press him to the floor.
Let the punches and kicks fall on him.
There was always a smile on his lips.
······
At ten o'clock in the morning on November 13, 2515 in the New Calendar, the First Hospital of Zhengyang City.
The lights in the operating room were turned down, and the attending doctor came out, looked at Zong Mingqi and shook his head: "We tried our best."
Click!
Zong Mingqi directly crushed the crutch in his hand and stared at the attending doctor: "There is no way at all?!"
"The master's magic power is restricted, and the magic bullet that penetrated her body was fire magic, which directly burned her internal organs!"
"Every method has been tried, but all failed!"
Zong Mingqi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Where is the killer, take me there!"
Behind him, a Zong family guard nodded in agreement.
…
(To be continued)
