Chapter 276: I’m a Professional at Killing Hubby

The first security vehicle tumbled directly on the road, flipping onto the safety platform, causing pedestrians to run and scream.

The security personnel from the other two vehicles quickly disembarked, forming a protective shield with their bodies, acting as human shields to prevent a second wave of attacks. Li Jiang crawled out of the car, his voice solemnly saying, “Stay alert!”

Glass shards pierced his arm, and Li Jiang’s head was covered in blood. The two security vehicles were parked on the side of the road. Lu Zhiyuan, unscathed, sat in the second vehicle, accessing the best shooting positions in nearby buildings!

The car came to a rapid stop inside the tunnel, and Lu Zhiyuan changed vehicles, sitting in the second car.

Now, his security team was on guard in front of the overturned car, but there was no one beside him. This was the safest, inconspicuous position. They were too far away, and even if there were gunshots, they wouldn’t hear them. Li Jiang used binoculars to scan the surrounding high-rise buildings, but it was impossible to determine the sniper’s location.

“Financial Center!” Lu Zhiyuan’s cold voice came through the earpiece. He simulated the perspective of an assassin, determining easily where the hitman would be if he were to target him. The Financial Center would be the choice if someone wanted to kill him!

Li Jiang said in a deep voice, “Everyone in the control room, retrieve all the video footage from the Financial Center today, record all vehicle entries and exits, and check every car and person.”

“Yes!”

Three cameras at the Financial Center went offline last night. They had reported it to maintenance, but they hadn’t been repaired yet. Two of the cameras had overlapping fields of view, which had clearly been deliberately altered. Lu Zhiyuan frowned. This wasn’t a job that a single hitman could accomplish.

Someone confirmed his departure time at the Global Center, and someone scouted ahead early. After determining his route, when the hitman confirmed his location, a team of operatives would quickly simulate an escape route to ensure the hitman’s safe departure.

Therefore, the surveillance that went offline within half an hour was intentionally sabotaged. Those three cameras were set up as part of the hitman’s reconnaissance.

After firing a shot, Qin Wan quickly packed her belongings and didn’t stay to fight. She blended into the elevator and descended to the parking lot. In a sedan, she stashed her equipment and took off her coat. Underneath, she wore a small Western-style dress. She let her hair down, put on earrings, and changed into a pair of white shoes. The once fierce and cool female assassin transformed into an innocent, demure girl.

She didn’t leave the parking lot but instead went upstairs to the mall and started shopping. Dressed in a small Western-style dress with a beige trench coat, exquisite makeup, and an alluring charm, she looked like a well-behaved, elegant lady.

Just half an hour before she entered the mall, a woman dressed exactly like her, with a similar figure, also drove into the mall. The woman modified her appearance inside the mall. Five minutes before Qin Wan acted, the woman left in Qin Wan’s car, leaving her own car behind for Qin Wan.

Qin Wan now had a perfectly timed entry and exit from the mall!

Every step was designed to be foolproof. In the age of surveillance, the Black Hawk’s Sky Eye system was among the world’s most advanced equipment, with extensive coverage. Their hacker tracking team was notoriously formidable and terrifying.

In the face of the assassination attempt on Lu Zhiyuan, it was essential to ensure that everything was executed flawlessly. If it came down to a simple act of murder without a series of misdirections and diversions, it was only a matter of time before they were exposed!

This was not an ordinary car accident. The traffic police arrived at the scene quickly. The security team, including Li Jiang, sustained minor injuries. The car’s route had been meticulously planned, making it extremely difficult to achieve a fatal strike. Li Jiang stayed behind to handle the aftermath, while Lu Zhiyuan continued to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, Lu Zhiyuan attempted to recover the three minutes of surveillance footage from the parking lot.

After the gunshot, for three minutes, all surveillance in the parking lot had gone offline. There was definitely something suspicious about those three minutes!

At the very least, within the parking lot, they should be able to find some clues.

Lu Zhiyuan said, “Try to recover it as best as you can!”

“Understood!”

Every time Lu Zhiyuan traveled, there was 24-hour surveillance following him. Someone was already filtering through the surveillance information from the Financial Center, searching for any suspicious individuals.

After finishing her third exam, Qin Wan received a call from Lu Zhiyuan. “It’s done. Your husband has gone to the hospital. He switched to the second car without a scratch. Sorry to disappoint you!”

Gu Ci replied,”…”

Well, she wasn’t too disappointed!

Lu Zhiyuan’s injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, so she didn’t want him to get into another accident and suffer another bone fracture.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?”

“Just doing some shopping,” Qin Wan replied. She had found a coffee shop with a panoramic window view, enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee while talking on the phone. “Black Hawk’s Sky Eye system is pretty amazing. If there’s even a tiny flaw, it won’t take long for them to identify us. So, I’m not in a hurry to leave. The more dangerous a place seems, the safer it is. They will definitely retrieve the entire day’s surveillance, matching both people and cars.”

Gu Ci gave her a sudden reminder, “Do you even have a shopping habit?”

“Not really,” Qin Wan admitted. She was quite independent and had built a wall between herself and others. She appeared friendly and smiled at everyone, but she never formed deep connections with anyone. Qin Wan continued, “I’m leaving now!”

With a reminder from Gu Ci, Qin Wan also realized the situation. She was indeed someone who preferred to be alone, and while shopping alone wasn’t an issue, she didn’t have the habit of shopping leisurely. Her shopping goals were usually quite clear, and lingering in the mall for too long might arouse suspicion.

After Gu Ci hung up the phone, she checked the news about the car accident. Several dashcams had recorded the incident. Qin Wan’s execution was precise. Some people were injured, but no one died.

“Third Master, it’s time to face the second assassination attempt!” Gu Ci muttered to herself.

The central hospital wasn’t an ideal location. It was full of people from the Lu family, and it wasn’t easy to escape from there. Gu Ci wouldn’t choose to make a move at the central hospital.

“Why is there no emphasis on the medical school exams? My friend from the finance department said they had a clear focus on their studies, and their exams were not difficult at all.” He Miaomiao, who had been studying late with her classmates recently, had heavy dark circles under her eyes. “Cici, how did you do on your exams?”

“I did fine,” Gu Ci replied with a light smile. “I’m going to make a phone call.”

Gu Ci went up to the rooftop and called Lu Zhiyuan. Another one of his close guards answered the call, “Miss Gu Ci, Third Young Master is undergoing a checkup and can’t take calls right now.”

“I saw a video that’s trending number one. It’s about your security team, and it looks like he was targeted for assassination,” Gu Ci asked anxiously, “Is everyone okay?”

The guard replied, “Please rest assured, Miss Gu Ci. Third Young Master is sitting in the second car, completely unharmed.”

“What about the others?”

“They all have minor injuries. The eldest had to get a few stitches, but it’s nothing serious.”

“Alright, as long as everyone is okay,” Gu Ci said as she hung up the phone. She knew that when it came to acting, you had to play the whole role. Not checking on Lu Zhiyuan or making a single phone call when she saw the news about the incident wouldn’t be convincing.

Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu both finished their exams almost at the same time. During exam week, classes were mostly suspended, and everyone was busy studying. Gu Ziyu, after finishing his exams, turned into a couch potato for the day. He had a whole day of exams, with only a one-hour break for lunch in between.. His exam subjects were more diverse than Gu Ci’s, mainly because he had studied a wider range of disciplines, and some of his exams even overlapped, requiring separate testing!
