My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 997: A Shocking Turn of Events

Seeing the intense battle, it was a fight to the death.

"That’s... Grandpa’s bodyguard car." Ling Yan’s hand shook as he gripped the steering wheel.

Ye Lu’s heart also turned cold.

Seeing such a scene, they didn’t stop. Ling Yan’s face turned deathly pale as he suddenly floored the gas pedal, and the car sped away crazily, rushing forward as if it were flying.

But after driving for about two kilometers,

suddenly, from the quiet mountain pass ahead, after turning a corner, came a sharp, startling gunshot.

In the dark of the night, it was especially jarring and terrifying.

Ye Lu’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned white. She wished it was just her hallucination, but although the gunshot sound wasn’t very loud from that distance, in the tranquil suburbs, it was unmistakably clear.

It was impossible not to believe it, even if one wanted to.

Ling Yan’s hand trembled, nearly crashing the car into the roadside. His eyes grew increasingly fierce, and the veins on his hand grasping the steering wheel bulged.

"There was only one gunshot, maybe, maybe..." Ye Lu looked at Ling Yan’s expression teetering on the edge of control, her eyes dimming, unable to continue.

...

The dark, chilling barrel of the gun was still smoking.

And Old Ling, with a gunshot wound to his chest, right in the heart, a fatal shot, his whole shirt quickly spreading with bright red blood. He seemed to want to say something, but blood bubbled from his lips, and in the end, he couldn’t say a single word.

Soon, he collapsed to the ground—a once formidable elder, who just a second ago was still directing the course of events, became a name in history the next.

Nobody expected this shocking turn of events.

Third Young Master Jun’s pupils dilated wildly, the deep abyss of his eyes reflecting Old Ling’s body, leaving him completely dazed.

Then came two more gunshots; the two bodyguards angrily holding on to Old Ling also met their end.

Lie Feng and Feiyu’s expressions changed drastically, they quickly circled around Third Young Master Jun, raised their guns, their faces filled with fury, warily watching the approaching figures.

A car stopped not far away.

Because that car was one they had earlier sent to be a lookout on the road Old Ling would come by, they heard the car coming, looked back and saw it, thinking it was an allied force, so they were unguarded.

Third Young Master Jun’s body overflowed with killing intent, as he slowly turned around and looked at the man coming closer with another group of men.

In the night, a tall figure approached, his steps leisurely. The light in the darkness shone on Gu Yan’s face, expressionless to the extreme. His eyes were lifeless, like a beast that had lost all human emotion—silent to the utmost yet madly bloodthirsty.

"Gu Yan, what are you doing—" Third Young Master Jun’s eyes suddenly turned blood red, like a bloodthirsty, enraged beast, his rage surging, he raised his gun at Gu Yan standing before him.

Gu Yan’s bodyguards, quick to react, swiftly protected him.

Seeing their actions, Lie Feng’s expression grew ugly. These forces were no less formidable than the top-tier mercenaries he had personally trained. Wasn’t this man simply Third Young Master’s brother, an ordinary businessman?

How could he have obtained such powerful tools of slaughter, their strength in no way inferior to their own?

"I’ve solved your problem for you, but now you want to kill me," Gu Yan said with a cold smile, walking up to Third Young Master Jun with composure. He whispered something softly.

Hearing it, Third Young Master Jun’s complexion turned iron blue, his cold and sharp eyes brimming with a blade-like murderous intent.

Yet Gu Yan turned around nonchalantly, walking away victoriously.

Gu Yan’s car quickly departed, vanishing into the night.

Third Young Master Jun stood still as if frozen in the wind, silent. But anyone could see that at that moment, he was furiously enraged, yet desperately suppressing his killing intent.

Lie Feng glanced at Old Ling’s body on the ground and silently sighed. If not for Gu Yan’s unexpected arrival...
