"Howl!" This thug seems to really enjoy playing Street Fighter.
Although Chen Wenwen was crying, she was also very perceptive. She noticed that the thugs' attention was on Lu Mingfei, so she stomped hard on the instep of the thug who was holding her!
Chen Wenwen was wearing high heels, and the force of that kick was all on her heel. An ordinary person could easily suffer a fracture if they were hit by it with full force.
The thug yelled and released Chen Wenwen, who immediately took off her high heels and ran away.
As she ran, she turned back and exchanged a glance with Lu Mingfei, who nodded at her and told her to keep running.
So Chen Wenwen started running like crazy. As expected of a long-distance running champion, she ran incredibly fast!
Back in her middle school sports meet, she was able to lead Lu Mingfei by a lap in the long-distance race.
When the thugs saw that the pretty girl had run away, they took their anger out on Lu Mingfei, punching and kicking him.
The thug who got stepped on by Chen Wenwen was the one who beat Lu Mingfei the most, kicking him like a soccer ball while he was already on the ground. He was extremely ruthless!
A thug tried to stomp on Lu Mingfei's face, but Lu Mingfei grabbed him with one hand: "I, I hate it when people stomp on my face."
The thugs were surprised that this guy still dared to act tough, so they beat him up again.
When they got tired of fighting, they started smoking and thinking about how to deal with the thing underground.
Gu Ran watched and waited from a distance.
Before long, Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with violence, as if he had become a different person.
He then became supreme, and no one could infringe upon his authority.
The next moment, Lu Mingfei seemed to have awakened, and in an instant, he knocked down the four thugs, followed by a series of brutal beatings.
They beat those thugs until they broke their bones and fractured their bones.
After teaching the group of thugs a lesson, Lu Mingfei suddenly reverted to his harmless yet cowardly self, staring in horror at the thugs lying on the ground, as if he couldn't believe that he was the one who caused all of this.
When did he become so cruel?
Lu Mingfei fled in a panic, running aimlessly to the subway station.
Gu Ran followed slowly behind, watching him enter the subway station.
Then, Lu Mingfei's figure suddenly disappeared in the subway station.
Strangely enough, Gu Ran's glare followed him without blinking, but Lu Mingfei suddenly disappeared after walking to a certain place.
Gu Ran closed her eyes and slowly sensed.
I could sense the Flying Thunder God mark on Lu Mingfei, even though we were no more than a kilometer apart.
However, he couldn't see Lu Mingfei's figure when he rolled his eyes.
Nibelungen is the land of the dead, shrouded in layers of mist that seem to prevent outsiders from peeking in.
"The real show is about to begin," Gu Ran whispered.
With a single thought, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his hotel room.
Even if he didn't orchestrate tonight's events, the boss behind the long-legged girl would have intervened and sent Lu Mingfei to his doom.
He was just doing a little work and doing someone a favor.
Tonight, Lu Mingfei will likely meet with Zhao Menghua, Gao Mi, and Wan Boqian, and then play Texas Hold'em with the mentally challenged Fenrir, using loneliness as their respective chips.
We played all night long.
Then, around midnight, Chu Zihang would go to the subway station to join the fun, and Xia Mi, with her split personality, would accompany Chu Zihang on his final journey.
Then, as for slaying the dragon, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang are enough.
Gu Ran's task was to deal with the escaped Kamaitachi inside the wedding building.
These weasels are actually a type of Deadpool; once they escape, they will harm people.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Gu Ran went to open it and saw Zhang Wanjun.
Upon entering, Zhang Wanjun said, "Things are all arranged. The hotel will be closed to guests for the next two days, citing cockroach extermination as the reason."
"Hmm." The top floors of the wedding building are hotels, and Gu Ran was worried that if something happened tomorrow, some couples would still be foolish enough to book rooms by the hour.
So they simply shut down the hotel, leaving only the Zhang family and Gu Ran's three-person academy team staying there.
"Have you emphasized discipline during emergencies?" Gu Ran asked.
"Yes, I've already emphasized the emergency evacuation procedures to the building's property management, the heads of the shops, and some employees," Zhang Wanjun continued to report. "Because it's right under the nose of the emperor, the safety evacuation is being handled with utmost care. I even personally inspected the area and cleared all the debris from the safety passages to ensure that the escape wouldn't be delayed."
"That's good." Gu Ran nodded.
Zhang Wanjun then asked, "So... are you sure the dragon's lair is right below here?"
"You've heard of the Wanggongchang bombing, right? This is the old site." Gu Ran took out his iPad and showed her some information.
After reading it, Zhang Wanjun nodded approvingly: "Indeed, there's a high chance this is a dragon's lair. Should we seal it off? You bought this building a long time ago anyway..."
As Zhang Wanjun spoke, she gave him a strange look.
Why did he buy this place so early on? Did he foresee it?
"I did receive the news quite early on that this place might be a dragon's lair," Gu Ran admitted frankly.
"Then why didn't you investigate earlier?"
"Because I wasn't sure if it was the Dragon King." Gu Ran told a little lie. "I only guessed that this place might be the dragon's lair of the King of Earth and Mountains after seeing the bounty on the hunter's market. Then I went to check it out these past few days and finally confirmed it."
Zhang Wanjun then asked, "Where is the entrance to the dragon's lair? When do we go in?"
For the Zhang family, this dragon-slaying was also an opportunity, as the wealth that would follow would be substantial.
A single dragon bone cross can bring immeasurable wealth.
“We can’t get in. The dragon’s lair is in the Nibelungen, without any markings, so we can’t go there,” Gu Ran said. “Right now, our top priority is to take precautions.”
"What are we on guard against?"
"Ghost Bird".
Zhang Wanjun frowned and immediately looked at the data on the iPad, which contained records of the ghost bird.
Chapter 295 Married Life
Records show that the Ghost Bird once emerged from the ground, sucking blood and injuring people, causing great panic in the capital at the time.
Gu Ran said, "I guess these ghost birds are a type of dead servant. They live in the land of the dead, and they will emerge from underground if something happens."
"Let those who are capable stay, and those who are not, leave. Prepare for rescue efforts outside." He continued, "I feel that things will reach their final moment in the next day or two."
Zhang Wanjun immediately nodded: "Okay, I will immediately unite with the forces of other powerful families and use all available resources to make arrangements in this area."
"We also need to prevent the secrets of the dragon race from being leaked," Gu Ran said.
“I know.” Zhang Wanjun immediately went out to make arrangements. “This is the most important task.”
Gu Ran meditated in his room, waiting for the most important scene of the play to begin.
*……*……*
The next morning, Gu Ran got up early, feeling refreshed.
He sensed it slightly and, sure enough, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Xia Mi were all inside Nibelungen.
Right now, Lu Mingfei should be sitting side by side with Fenrir in the Nibelungenlied, eating potato chips and watching Stephen Chow's "God of Gamblers".
Lu Mingfei must have been trembling with fear, but because of his superior bloodline, he wouldn't be frightened into unconsciousness by the dragon's might, so he could only grit his teeth and sit side by side with the mentally challenged Dragon King.
Chu Zihang should be carrying the delicate Xia Mi on his back, taking a walk underground.
Xia Mi spoke in a soft, cute, and playful manner, implying that she wanted to meet Chu Zihang at the Sabaody Archipelago.
The cold and expressionless Chu Zihang casually dealt with her quirky antics while remaining wary of the Deadpool inside. Even now, he still thought the person on his back was a soft and cute junior sister.
Nibelungen is special. Gu Ran could clearly sense the Flying Thunder God mark inside, and these three people were not far from his current location, but he couldn't see anything inside with his Byakugan.
"Why don't you just close the building?" Zhang Wanjun asked Gu Ran while she was having breakfast.
“A reason is needed to close down. If such a large shopping mall closes down for no reason, people will pay attention,” Gu Ran continued to explain. “Besides, I found out that several mixed-race family tour groups will be coming to visit today. If something happens, they can also become a fighting force.”
Because all hybrids agree on one point: the secrets of the dragon race must not be revealed.
After finishing breakfast, Zhang Wanjun went out again to inspect the escape routes on each floor to ensure that the general public could evacuate smoothly.
Susie and Zero were left behind by Gu Ran to await orders. He informed them about the Wang Gong Factory incident. After Susie finished breakfast, she took Zero to investigate the parking lot.
"Bring your equipment, just in case," Gu Ran advised.
"Understood." Susie and Zero both took the portable equipment case, which contained the weapons they were good at.
Gu Ran sat in the monitoring room and saw Caesar and Nono walk in together.
Last time Caesar wanted to propose, but Gu Ran disrupted his plans, and he hasn't been able to find a suitable place to propose again in the past few days.
In fact, Caesar had already proposed to Nono once via text message, but Nono did not agree, so Caesar wanted to find an opportunity to propose to her in person again.
Today, Nono wasn't wearing the ancient Chinese wedding dress that Caesar bought in Liulichang; instead, she was wearing simple jeans and a black sweatshirt.
But Caesar still took Nono to the fourth floor to choose a phoenix coronet and wedding gown.
"Hey, I haven't agreed to marry you yet, why are you already picking up the red veil?" Nuonuo asked, pouting.
"Then will you refuse?" Caesar stared at Nono.
Nono opened her mouth; she should have agreed long ago, but she had been conflicted and hesitated.
"Hey, seniors, you're here to pick out your wedding dress so soon?" Gu Ran greeted them from behind, helping Nuonuo avoid being asked a question.
Caesar looked at Gu Ran with some confusion: "What are you doing here? Are you also here to pick out wedding clothes and a phoenix coronet?"
"No." Gu Ran shook his head and asked in a low voice, getting straight to the point, "The Wanggong Factory explosion, I wonder if you know about it, senior?"
"You found out too?" Caesar was taken aback, thinking he had obtained exclusive information.
"Hmm." Gu Ran nodded. He was wearing a loose sports sweatshirt over his combat uniform, and he was carrying a long backpack.
"Have you found any clues?" Caesar asked. "Have you found the entrance?"
"No," Gu Ran said truthfully. "I guess there's a place down there like the Bronze City, and you need to be 'permitted' to enter."
“It’s a pity we didn’t bring the ‘key’ with us.” Caesar pondered, holding a feng shui compass given to him by Lin Fenglong, looking at the pointer on it in thought.
