Chapter 91: Target (Part 1)



Something unexpected happened and no one was prepared at all. They were originally waiting for Wu Lai to finish what he was saying, but unexpectedly they witnessed a murder with their own eyes.

This was not only a blatant murder, but also a brutal and unscrupulous murder. You have to know that the people present were all rich or noble. There were important people from the Second Legion and the Fourth Legion, and even Rini was there.

But the arrow still shot over and hit Wu Lai right in the chest.

At this moment, Wu Lai fell into Lini's arms with a painful look on his face. Beside him were Helen, Guru, Yijiang, Helen and Wright. They were all angry, horrified and sad.

Obviously, Wu Lai was seriously injured and in pain. The arrow was firmly nailed to his chest. Blood was still flowing out slowly. His neck and clothes were covered with bloodstains.

“Who can deal with it?!” Lini shouted, dismissing everyone.

"Let me do it." Yi Jiang quickly rolled up his sleeves. After all, he had experienced life and death on the battlefield, so he knew something about first aid.

“No.” Wu Lai shook his head with great effort and said weakly, “No, don’t pull out the arrow. Quickly, quickly, send me back to the Green Building. I, I have a way…”

Lini was startled, and quickly arranged for Yi Jiang to clear the way. He also asked Fox and others to make a simple stretcher and carefully moved Wu Lai onto it. He did not bother to say anything more to the onlookers. After clearing a path, he took Wu Lai away from the scene as quickly as possible.

When seeing this scene, Eddie felt strange and uncomfortable in her heart. Normally, Wu Lai's assassination should be a happy thing for her, but when she saw Wu Lai's painful expression and the blood on his chest, her heart tightened and became heavy.

"Why are you still standing here? Come on, follow and take a look!" In'er urged loudly as he walked quickly past Eddie, his voice filled with anxiety and a hint of anger.

The unexpected incident made the guests at the scene feel a little uneasy, but no one followed or fled in droves, because the assassin hiding in the dark was obviously targeting Wu Lai alone, and judging from the situation, the assassination was carefully prepared.

"You say, could it be..." Quick couldn't help but ask Boti, and saw the same question in Boti's eyes.

"Apparently, apart from him, Wuleglindo doesn't seem to have such a big grudge with anyone else." Boti said.

Wright did not follow, but cursed loudly on the spot. He originally wanted to follow, but Wu Lai asked him to stay because there were guests. But now, no one was in the mood to eat, drink and have fun.

After a while, some guests began to say goodbye and leave. It was boring to stay. Besides, it would be better to go back to the city to find out about Wu Lai's situation than to stay here.

Wright did not try to keep them. Although he was still angry, he still said goodbye to everyone politely. He also told everyone that Wu Lai named this place Liucui Bay.

The first wave of returning guests entered the city almost at the same time as Wu Lai's car. If it were not for avoiding suspicion or some other considerations, they would not mind following until they reached a conclusion.

But they all felt that they couldn't follow, it was difficult to follow, and even more inconvenient to follow. But this incident could be considered news after all, and they were eyewitnesses, so naturally they couldn't help but speak out.

As a result, the news that Wu Lai was assassinated while entertaining guests at Liucui Bay quickly spread out, and like a snowball, it got bigger and bigger and spread more and more...

At this moment, Wu Lai, the protagonist of the assassination, was lying quietly on the bed in the bedroom, with a thick bandage on his chest, and even blood stains on the bandage.

Accompanying him by the bed were Rini and Guru, with Rini sitting on the left side of Woolley's bed and Guru standing on the other side.

Lini had a stern face and said nothing. Guru looked at him and then at Woolley, not knowing what to say.

Wu Lai winked at Guru and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He looked so energetic and relaxed, how could he look injured?

"You're still laughing?" Lini couldn't help but slap Wu Lai on the shoulder. "You're so good, Wu Lai Glindo, you actually deceived me."

"Shh, teacher, you have to keep your voice down." Wu Lai quickly made a gesture to silence the others, and then explained in a low voice, "Teacher, I really didn't intend to hide it from you. Look, now besides me and Guru, you are the only one who knows about it. I promise."

"Huh, if I hadn't seen it, would you have been so honest?" Lini said hatefully. Don't blame him for being angry. When Wu Lai was shot by an arrow, Lini was so anxious that he almost lost his composure in front of two or three hundred people. But on the way back, he saw a clue - when the speeding carriage rolled over a small pit and caused a violent shake, Wu Lai, who was lying flat, involuntarily fell to the side of the carriage wall with the tilt. But just when Lini and Guru were unable to rescue him and saw that Wu Lai was about to be injured for the second time, Wu Lai, who was already "on the verge of coma", miraculously and swiftly stretched out his right hand to support himself, stopping the momentum and escaping danger.

This right hand, originally tightly covering the wound...

Lini also discovered that as Wu Lai moved, the arrow shaft in his left chest was shaking violently, which was obviously not normal...

Lini's doubts were answered when Wu Lai was bandaging him - this guy was determined not to let Guru touch him, and insisted that everyone leave the bedroom. If Lini had not "given Wu Lai a little hint" at the critical moment, Lini might have been persuaded to leave.

"Of course, you are my teacher. If you don't believe me, you can ask Guru." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"Ask him? He's your accomplice." Lini couldn't help but glare at Guru, "You two are just two little liars."

Guru's face turned red. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever commented on him like this, especially when the other party was the respected vice-president.

With Wu Lai's thick skin, he would not blush for such a thing. He simply sat up with a smile and said, "Teacher, I don't mind what you said. I'm afraid Guru must be embarrassed by what you said. Look, his face has become so red."

"Hmph." Lini looked up at Guru and saw that the boy's face was indeed red, and his anger subsided a little.

“Guru, please go out first and tell everyone that I am safe for now. The teacher is talking to me. Let everyone rest assured.” Wu Lai said to Guru.

Guru nodded, bent down, picked up the wooden shed with the bloody clothes beside the bed, and left the bedroom.

After the door was closed again and he was sure that no one was outside, Rini sighed and said, "Wu Lai, tell me why you did this? Don't tell me this was just a prank."

"Teacher, this is certainly not a prank. It's a trap to break the current situation." Wu Lai said as he got dressed and got out of bed.

"Bureau?" Rini frowned.

"Yes, sir." Woolley sat down in the chair beside Rini. "Sir, I have to do this."

"Go ahead, I'm listening." Lini said expressionlessly, but a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wu Lai nodded: "Teacher, you asked me to take advantage of the situation to rise, and of course I want to do the same, but the current situation is a bit complicated, and many relationships are difficult to handle."

"First of all, it's Lev. He is trying to recruit me. Of course, if my ideals were a little smaller, I could have joined him. But you, teacher, taught me that I should have a broad vision, a broad mind, and ambitious goals."

"My goal is to do what you want me to do, and to become the person you want me to be, and even go beyond that."

"So, I cannot become his vassal, and I don't want to be anyone's vassal either. So, I must make all those who have this idea give up this idea. I have to tell them that this idea is unrealistic."

"But I'm not strong enough to refuse directly. In other words, if I refuse directly at this moment, they will immediately try their best to crush me because I am disobedient and unsubmissive."

"So that's how you do it?" Rini frowned.

"Yes." Wu Lai nodded and smiled, "Although today's trick is a bit disgusting, it is very effective."

Lini smiled and said, "What are the benefits?"

"First, it can buy me some buffer time. I need to recuperate. The time for recuperation can be long or short. I have the final say. Whether to meet guests or not is up to me..."

"Second, I can tell who is truly friendly and who is just trying to curry favor with me. Because I am injured, there will definitely be people who come to visit me, such as Lieutenant General Yijiang and Wright..."

"Third, and most importantly, when I am assassinated, everyone will involuntarily speculate who assassinated Woole Greendo and who wanted to kill me so badly. Then, they will quickly think of the person I want them to think of."

"Khufu." Rini nodded. If it were him, he would have the same association.

"Khufu is from the Duncan family. With Khufu's daily behavior and Lev's attitude towards him, no matter how Khufu explains, it will be useless. So, Lev will be more cautious because of my 'grudge', but at the same time he will not be on guard against me..."

Rini nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

After Wu Lai finished speaking, Lini smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's really hard for you to think so carefully. Since you have already made arrangements, and judging from the current situation, the progress is also very smooth, I believe that everything will continue according to your ideas..."

A moment later, Rini left Woolley's bedroom and walked into the living room.

Seeing him come in, Yi Jiang, Helen and others who had been waiting anxiously stood up quickly.

"Please sit down." Lini waved his hand and, led by Fox, walked to the main chair and sat down.

"Wu Lai is fine for now, so don't worry too much. He needs to rest for a while. Now he is asleep, so don't disturb him for now." Lini said with a serious face, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you think of what happened today?"

"General Lini, I suspect it was Hoofduncan who did it." Yi Jiang said immediately.
