Only the woman in the black dress remained standing not far away, her face expressionless as she stared at the corpse before her.
Zhang Lin, who was on the ground, also regained consciousness at this time.
Because Zhang Lin was affected by the Naraku-sense technique, his mind was agitated and he was still confused, unaware of what had happened.
Seeing Gu Ran's wary expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"
“Zhang Minghao has been murdered,” Gu Ran said.
"What?" Zhang Lin couldn't believe it when he heard that his son was dead.
He rushed out of the room and saw Zhang Lin's body and a woman in a black dress as soon as he reached the corridor.
He looked at the woman in the black dress and asked, "Did you kill my son?"
The woman in the black dress sneered, not bothering to explain.
At this moment, Gu Ran and Su Xi also came out.
Susie saw Zhang Minghao shot in the back of the head from a distance and whispered in Gu Ran's ear, "The same as in Bangkok."
Gu Ran nodded, indicating that they would discuss it further when they returned.
Standing beside his son's body, Zhang Lin saw Gu Ran emerge, then glanced at the woman in the black dress, and seemed to understand what was happening:
"I understand now. The three of you are in cahoots. The Zong family is bullying us because we have no one to rely on, and they want to wipe us out!"
Gu Ran frowned slightly and looked at the woman in the black dress.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with a pretty face, a height of about 1.65 meters, and a slender and tall figure.
This person... Gu Ran felt he looked somewhat familiar.
At the same time, the woman in the black dress also glanced at Gu Ran. The two looked at each other and seemed to feel that they were somewhat familiar with each other.
At that moment, a group of heavily armed security guards arrived.
Zhang Lin ordered, "Arrest them."
Susie suddenly became nervous. She took out her military dagger and prepared to retreat back to her room.
Suddenly, Gu Ran began chanting dragon script, and everyone present felt an energy moving between heaven and earth.
The higher one's bloodline, the more sensitive one is to the 'spirit'. Susie and the woman in the black dress both sensed the movement of the 'spirit'.
They looked at Gu Ran, but had no idea what he had done.
At this moment, Gu Ran whispered to Su Qian, "Don't be afraid, stay by my side."
"Hmm," Susie replied. There were dozens of guns pointed at them, including AKs and MP5 submachine guns. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid.
But since Gu Ran said he was confident, he must have made some preparations.
Let's trust the junior student for now.
“I didn’t kill him,” Gu Ran said as he walked toward Zhang Sheng. He glanced at the woman in the black dress as he passed by her, and then added, “Neither did this young lady kill him.”
"Stop! Take another step and I'll have someone shoot you!" Zhang Sheng felt inexplicably afraid when he thought of the illusion Gu Ran had just created.
He clearly realized that the other party's Word of Power was not Senro, but another kind of Word of Power.
He didn't know what it was, but he knew that these two people's spiritual power and bloodline were superior to his.
At this moment, Gu Ran was still ten meters away from Zhang Lin, and Zhang Lin felt that this distance was just right and very safe.
In reality, Gu Ran could kill him in the blink of an eye.
But since Gu Ranzhi came to find Zhang Qiong, he naturally wouldn't kill him.
He wants peaceful dialogue if possible.
"To put it bluntly, I'm here to see Zhang Qiong, who is my mother." Gu Ran stared at Zhang Lin. "I think you should know something that I want to know."
Susie followed behind Gu Ran and only then realized that their mission was to find Zhang Qiong.
Gu Ran telling her this meant that he trusted her.
Upon hearing Gu Ran's words, the woman in the black dress glanced at him and said softly, "So you are Gu Ran."
Her face was a delicate, fair oval shape, and her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of aloofness, making her look like a cool, aloof college student next door.
"You...know me?" Gu Ran asked, looking at her.
The woman in the black dress turned her face away and did not continue speaking.
Gu Ran didn't care; the question was with Zhang Lin.
“I don’t know anything, I didn’t do it,” Zhang Lin said.
Gu Ran said, "I know who killed your son. I saw the whole thing."
"who is it?"
"But why should I tell you?"
Zhang Lin suddenly looked at the woman in the black dress: "It was you, it must have been you. You slapped Zhang Minghao when we met before, you must be holding a grudge and coming up to take revenge!"
"Your son has offended far too many people," the girl in the black dress said coldly. "Good riddance. If he had fallen into my hands... I would have made him wish he were dead."
Her words also indicate that she did not kill him.
Zhang Lin knew that this woman from the Zong family was very proud and disdained to lie.
"Then tell me!" He pointed at Gu Ran. "Who killed my son? Speak up!"
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Where are the other three members of the Zhang family in Nanyang? Tell me about it, and I’ll tell you about your son.” Gu Ran said casually, “Unless you think your son’s death isn’t important.”
"What right do you have to negotiate with me?" Zhang Lin gave a signal, and the security guards immediately moved closer, pointing their guns at Gu Ran and the other two.
Susie instinctively moved closer to Gu Ran, who whispered, "It's okay, trust me."
"it is good."
Susie responded, trusting Gu Ran.
The girl in the black dress also stared at Gu Ran, wanting to see what he had to do.
Gu Ran smiled at Zhang Lin and said, "You don't think a few toy guns can scare me, do you?"
The girl in the black dress and Susie were both stunned. Why did they have to provoke Zhang Lin at a time like this?
Zhang Lin grinned menacingly: "Toy gun? Hahahaha!"
He laughed a few times, his joy turning to sorrow, then pointed at Susie and said, "Kill her! It's all because of this woman that my son was frightened!"
Without any reason, Zhang Lin blamed Su Xi for his son's death, believing that this woman had seduced his son and bewitched him, which led to his murder.
One of Zhang Lin's trusted security guards, holding an AK-47, immediately raised his gun and fired at Susie after receiving orders from his boss.
Susie instinctively closed her eyes, only to hear a gunshot ring out!
When Susie opened her eyes, she found that she was perfectly fine.
And that AK exploded.
The security guard stared blankly at the broken gun in his hand.
Isn't the AK known for its high stability?
The other security guards were also stunned. At this moment, another confidant took out a pistol and fired another shot at Susie.
It exploded again!
This time, the barrel exploded, and the bullet ricocheted and hit his ear.
"Ah!" the security guard cried out in surprise, clutching his bleeding ear.
The other security guards knew that something must have gone wrong.
They stared at the guns in their hands as if they had seen a ghost, and no one dared to fire again.
Only Susie and the woman in the black dress knew what Gu Ran must have just done.
Although Zhang Lin did not sense Gu Ran's energy fluctuations, he realized that Gu Ran must have tampered with things.
Chapter 154 The Identity of the Girl in the Black Dress
Zhang Lin squatted on the ground, looking at his son's tragically dead body, clenching his fists as if making some painful decision.
Gu Ran thought to himself, "It seems there's a chance. I can get the whereabouts of the other three households out of Zhang Lin."
"Ah Lin, let these people go." At this moment, the old croupier who was originally on the first floor came over with a telephone.
The old dealer put the phone on speakerphone so everyone could hear it, and an aged voice said:
“After we were expelled from China, we had no contact with the clan. Zhang Qiong’s matter has nothing to do with my family. You can leave now. From now on, we will keep to ourselves.”
The woman in the black dress said in a cold voice, "Tell me the whereabouts of the other three households."
“I don’t want to get involved in your affairs, so I won’t tell you. Otherwise, if the other three households retaliate, do you think the main family will protect us outcasts?” The old man on the phone said in a dignified yet somewhat tired voice, “Show them out.”
At a command, everyone in the corridor dropped their guns and drew their tactical knives from their waists.
This is to force them to leave; if they don't leave, we'll take action directly.
Downstairs, the sound of even more footsteps could be heard.
The woman in the black dress seemed to know that further words were useless, so she didn't waste any more time and simply jumped out of the window and left.
Gu Ran grabbed Su Xi's wrist and chased after her out the window.
Inside the gambling ship, Zhang Lin held his son's body and wept bitterly.
……
On the riverside road, Gu Ran, with Su Xi in tow, caught up with the woman in the black dress.
Gu Ran called out to her, "Hey, you long-legged, pretty lady in the black miniskirt up ahead, wanna chat?"
The girl in the black dress had straight, slender, and snow-white legs. Although she wasn't tall, her legs were incredibly long.
She stopped and turned to look at Gu Ran: "Are you flirting with me?"
“This is called flirting… I think we know each other. My name is Gu Ran.” Gu Ran raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm, and he and Su Xi slowly walked up to the woman in the black dress.
The woman in the black dress said coldly, "I don't know you. This is the first time I've seen you."
