The man saw stars from the kick. Propping himself up with his arms, he shook his head and looked at the black shadow before him with much difficulty.

  Seeing that she was approaching him one step at a time, fear could be seen in the man’s eyes. Clenching his jaws under the head cover, he tightened his fists and tackled her.

  There seemed to be a layer of ice covering Gu Mang’s dark eyes. She blocked the man’s punch with one hand and grasped his fist viciously. The man’s eyes instantly revealed his bewilderment. He tried to escape her grasp to no avail.

  Why was this woman so strong?!

  Racking his brains quickly, he raised his leg to kick her.

  Gu Mang sneered. She tightened her grip around his fist. After twisting his wrist she released him. The man’s leg collided with the wall. He bounced back and landed on the ground pathetically.

  “Cough—”


  The man spat out a mouthful of blood. The fall caused damage to his oranges. His mind became even more foggy. By the time he forced his eyes open, he saw the black shadow slowly bending down in front of him.

  Her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised. Her dark and deep eyes looked bloodshot. The raised corners of her eyes were brash and prideful.

  She rested her arms on her legs. Squatting down indifferently, she lowered her gaze and looked at him. She said slowly in a light voice, “Whose arms did you say you would cripple?”


  The girl dragged out her last word in a deep voice. She sounded absolutely sinister. Even those pretty eyes of hers were slightly curved like a wicked knife. She looked like she was enjoying it all. She exuded a stifling murderous aura from head to toe.

  When the man heard her, he got goosebumps. His hands shook uncontrollably as he said with much difficulty, “Who are you?”


  Gu Mang chuckled and got up. Her long hair brushed past her brow bone naturally.

  She lowered her gaze and looked at him from above with dark and cold eyes. As soon as she spoke, her voice was terrifying. “If you aim your gun at someone you shouldn’t mess with, the fun in this would be gone.”


  The man trembled as he looked at her in silence. The gun hung casually on Gu Mang’s left finger as she turned around and walked away.

  When she reached the entrance, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Lowering her head slightly, she murmured, “Almost forgot about this.”


  Not knowing what she had forgotten, the man tensed up unconsciously. Gu Mang turned around. The gun, which was hanging off her finger, suddenly flipped. Holding the gun in her palm now, she raised it.

  The man’s eyes constricted. In the next second, he saw her squeeze the trigger swiftly. Next, he felt an intense pain in both his shoulders. Gritting his teeth, he broke out in a cold sweat. His head cover was almost drenched with it.

  The pain was excruciating, the bullet having broken several bones.

  Tilting her head, Gu Mang said slowly in a sinister and cold voice, “Tell your boss that if he ever provokes me again, I will kill all of you next time.”


  The man lay on the ground like a pile of mud, his arms in shambles.

  Gu Mang shifted her gaze, turned around, and walked away.

  She took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Shangjin. “Uncle Lu, Lu Chengzhou is in a gun fight at Nanjiao abandoned factory. You told me this. Remember this.”


  Lu Shangjin had just finished attending to official business. When he walked out of his study, he saw the message and was speechless.

  Was it time for him to take the field again?……

  Outside the abandoned factory, the fight was awfully chaotic. One box of materials that No.14 Research Center needed was already destroyed. A few people lay on the ground in pools of blood.

  Suddenly a girl dressed in black from head to toe walked out of the main entrance of the factory and revealed herself to everyone. Her body blended in with the endless night so well that it was as if she were night itself.

  Gun in hand, she walked at a moderate pace. Her aura was so overwhelming that it was stifling. She appeared very suddenly and attracted everyone’s attention.

  When the bald man noticed the shadow, he panicked immediately. His voice quivered tremendously as he said, “Didn’t Ms. Gu go to Country K? What is she doing here?!”
