"Hold!"
Luo Tianhe was practically flooring the accelerator, cursing as he drove.
"Wu Zhiguo, and that old bastard surnamed Jin, just you wait. Once this blows over, I'll see how I deal with them!"
Despite his cursing, his hands were constantly on the phone.
Some called his underlings, asking them to create trouble and block the road; others called his associates, asking them to find out the current situation.
The last one seems to have been a call to his older brother.
After hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Luo Tianhe's face instantly turned ashen, and he angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
I noticed something was off about his expression and quickly asked, "What did your older brother say?"
Luo Tianhe gritted his teeth: "We're wanted! He told me to go back and turn myself in, saying that as long as I turn myself in, I can save my life, but I'll definitely have to go to jail. After a few years, he'll find a way to get us out."
I blurted out, "They've issued an arrest warrant so quickly?"
"Faster than you can imagine."
Luo Tianhe abruptly turned the steering wheel and plunged into a dimly lit alley.
“My older brother said that the arrest warrants were already prepared before those people arrived, and they were just waiting for us to put our fingerprints on them. Luckily, we ran away, otherwise even my older brother would have been implicated. The matter here is too complicated to explain in a short time.”
Even Luo Tianhe's elder brother will be implicated?
My heart sank.
Having spent so much time with Luo Tianhe, although he didn't say it explicitly, I could guess that his older brother must hold an important position within the system.
Does Wu Zhiguo have such great power?
Although the officers who came tonight were just ordinary policemen, the connections behind them were unfathomable.
The fact that the other side had already prepared an arrest warrant even before Old Man Zhao was dead is something that Wu Zhiguo couldn't have done on his own.
Even if he is the richest man in the city, he cannot control everything under the rules of the system.
There must be a hidden figure pulling the strings behind the scenes.
This person not only wields astonishing power and can easily mobilize resources within the system, but is also extremely cunning.
They had already set up the scheme long before we even realized it.
They even included Luo Tianhe's elder brother in their scheme, trying to wipe us out completely and eradicate us from the root.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
I'm just an ordinary citizen. Going against Wu Zhiguo is already a recipe for disaster, and now a big shot has appeared.
How do you play?
This feeling of powerlessness is like you've cultivated yourself for a lifetime and ascended to the heavens, only to become one of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers besieging the monkey.
Besides, I'm not some prodigy.
I leaned back in my chair, feeling utterly helpless, and said to Luo Tianhe, "Why don't you listen to your older brother and go back? At least you can save your life."
"I want to go back, but there's no turning back now! Have you forgotten that I'm poisoned by a Gu curse?"
Luo Tianhe smiled wryly.
I quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, as long as the Gu is on me, nothing will happen."
As I spoke, I subconsciously reached for my wallet.
But as soon as I reached in, my hand froze instantly, and I was completely stunned.
The bamboo tube containing the Gu worms has disappeared!
Because I have to feed the Gu worms with my blood every day, this has become a fixed habit in my life.
Just like how I've been able to accurately find the eye without even looking when I go to the toilet for the past twenty-odd years.
I absolutely cannot be mistaken.
It must have been stolen by Master Jin!
Once he kills the Gu worm, the Gu master will realize that the Gu worm he placed on us has been temporarily removed.
At that point, it will inevitably lead to a fight to the death, and the mother Gu will be activated, meaning we won't have many days left to live.
I asked Luo Tianhe suspiciously, "Did you know all along that the bamboo tube containing the Gu worms was missing?"
Luo Tianhe pointed to his head: "I guessed."
"A guess?"
Luo Tianhe took a deep breath: "Think about it, that old fox Jin is very shrewd. He's been acting with us for so long, he must have his own purpose. How could he not be wary of us?"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Looking back now, Jin Ye probably knew from the beginning that I had drugged him. He was pretending to be drugged by me. As for what he was trying to do, I don't know. But as long as the bamboo tube was in his hands, our lives were in his hands."
Upon closer examination, this analysis does indeed make sense.
But there's still one thing I just can't figure out.
“If Master Jin really wanted to use Gu worms to threaten us into doing things for him, he could have just done it from the beginning. There was no need to go through all this trouble.”
Luo Tianhe was also taken aback, but he quickly recovered.
“Even if he doesn’t control us or make us do things for him, at least when we want to cause him trouble, the bamboo tube in our hand is still a trump card, isn’t it? As for what he really wants to do, only he knows the answer.”
The thought of being completely outmaneuvered by that old man Jin makes me furious, but it's just a helpless rage.
"Alright, there's no use getting angry now. We'll deal with them later!"
As Luo Tianhe spoke, he handed me his phone and told me to take out the SIM card, break it in half, and throw it out the window.
I did as instructed, breaking Luo Tianhe's SIM card in half and throwing it out along with the phone.
But my phone wasn't lost. I asked Luo Tianhe to pull over, and then hailed a taxi.
I got into the car and pretended to ask the driver for the address, asking if he was going, while secretly slipping my phone under the seat to hide it.
If Luo Tianhe's phone was located, mine will definitely be located too.
Although this tactic won't allow us to completely shake off the pursuit, it will at least consume a lot of their time and manpower.
