"Help me~~"
"Police, please answer the call, help me!!"
Frantically running through the scenic area, Shen Yizong dialed the emergency number on his phone, feeling nervous, terrified, and scared.
Now he understood that even if he confessed and revealed everything he had done, he would rather go to jail as long as he could stay alive.
Staying alive was more important than anything else.
However, the signal in this scenic area was not very good, and combined with his nervousness and fear, he dialed the wrong number.
Instead of calling 911, he dialed 922.
"Damn it!!"
After realizing his mistake, Shen Yizong cursed under his breath and quickly hung up the phone, intending to call again.
No matter what happened, seeking help from the police would never go wrong.
However, while looking down at his phone, he accidentally knocked over a garbage bin, making a loud noise and almost tripping himself.
"Oh no!"
Shen Yizong's expression drastically changed, and cold sweat poured down his face.
Making such a loud noise in the dead of night exposed his position.
He quickly turned around to look.
Sure enough, the masked killer was already walking towards him.
Shen Yizong was filled with extreme fear and panic as he desperately ran towards the top of Blackwater Village.
Blackwater Village was built on a large mountain, with a river flowing through it that spanned two or three cities, forming a waterfall.
That's why it became a scenic area, attracting many people who came to see the waterfall, go rafting, and have fun.
In his extreme fear, Shen Yizong ran aimlessly, heading towards any source of light he could see.
However, being a second-generation wealthy young man who indulged in a life of luxury, he was physically unfit and couldn't complete such a strenuous activity as climbing the mountain. He was already gasping for breath and his legs were sore after climbing only three steps. He couldn't move anymore.
He listened to the footsteps of the killer, feeling even more anxious and nervous, and made one last effort to climb upward.
Unfortunately, his strength didn't allow it. After climbing only three steps, he was too exhausted to move any further. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
He looked at the steps below him and then looked outside the railing at the waterfall, gritting his teeth with a look of despair.
It's over!
He couldn't move, and this place was a cliff with the killer below.
It was a desperate situation!
What made it even more hopeless was that in the dead of night, with no tourists around, this lousy scenic area still had streetlights.
Under the illumination of the streetlights, he couldn't hide.
Shen Yizong held his phone, intending to call for help again.
However, before he could connect the call, the masked killer had already approached him, and with a single shot, he shattered Shen Yizong's phone, causing it to fall off the cliff into the swift river below the waterfall.
Then, the killer pointed the gun at Shen Yizong.
"Why?"
Shen Yizong's pupils contracted, and after reaching the pinnacle of despair, he was not as scared anymore. Instead, he erupted in anger and shouted, "I was just following his orders, why does Shen Dongshan desire to kill me?"
"And you, you are selling your life for him, but he will kill you in the end too!"
"Kill me? Haha, Shen Dongshan does not have the guts or the power to do that," the killer coldly chuckled.
Shen Yizong's expression changed, "Who are you?"
The fact that this person could say such words indicated that his status and identity were even higher than Shen Dongshan's!
"You are a dying man, why do you need to know so much?" the masked killer sneered.
"Since I'm about to die, granting my dying wish isn't too much, is it?" Shen Yizong said.
The killer sneered coldly, his eyes icy, and said, "You desire to know, right? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"
After speaking, he removed his mask, revealing his true face.
Seeing this person, Shen Yizong's pupils contracted intensely, as if he had witnessed the most unimaginable thing in the world. He was shocked and said, "How is this possible? H-how can it be you?"
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the killer fired a shot, hitting Shen Yizong's heart, causing blood to spray from his mouth.
The powerful impact caused his body to recoil, propelling him over the railing and down towards the waterfall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The killer, seemingly not satisfied, fired five more shots, each one hitting Shen Yizong's body, splattering blood in the air.
Finally, Shen Yizong plummeted into the river below the waterfall with a loud crash, disappearing without a trace.
The masked killer put his mask back on, his gaze cold and sharp, as he stared at the waterfall and river for a long time.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Shen Dongshan's number, speaking in a cold tone, "It's taken care of."
"Are you sure he's dead? Did you finish him off?" Shen Dongshan inquired.
"A shot to his heart, a shot to his lungs, and a few more shots to his abdomen and thigh. Do you think he's still alive?" the killer replied.
"Not a headshot?"
"...!"
The killer fell silent for two seconds, then angrily retorted, "Are you ever satisfied? With shots to the heart and lungs, do you think he can survive?"
"Do not get angry, I was just making sure. A headshot is the most foolproof."
"How about I shoot you in the heart, and you see if you die or not?"
"No, no, no, I was just joking. With so many shots, Shen Yizong is as good as dead, and our secret will remain safe."
"But it's your secret that will be safe. Shen Dongshan, you owe me a huge favor!"
"Do not worry, our interests align. Your business is my business, and I'll help you take care of Wang Chao."
"I hope you can follow through on your words!"
Upon hearing Shen Dongshan's words, the killer's expression turned gloomy as he uttered a cold sentence, then hung up the phone and walked away.
When Wang Chao returned home, it was already past 1 a.m. His parents, sister, and Huang Ying had all gone to bed.
The spacious villa was occupied by just the five of them, giving a sense of comfort.
He entered the kitchen, intending to prepare a late-night snack, only to find various types of turtles, chicken testicles, and animal penises.
Wang Chao: ( ̄ェ ̄;) .
It seemed that Li Han truly believed in the words of that fortune teller and had spent a fortune on buying so many supplements, hoping he could find a woman to have sex with.
Wanting grandchildren shouldn't be achieved through such means.
Wang Chao sighed and ended up making a bowl of instant noodles, bringing it upstairs.
"Spirit Eyes!"
He then entered his parents' room, channeling his true qi into his eyes, staring at their room. After confirming that his mother's Guanyin jade statue was still there, he finally relaxed.
After learning the price of that jade statue, Li Han dared not wear it again. She bought a box and locked the Guanyin jade statue in a safe, afraid of losing such a valuable treasure.
"I shouldn't have let Mom go to Grandma's place, causing such a mess. Now I have to find another precious jade to make a new talisman to protect my mother's safety." Wang Chao sighed.
He knew Li Han was thrifty and would not dare to wear the Guanyin jade statue after discovering its high value.
For the sake of his mother's safety, he would find a better jade stone to make a new talisman and bless his mother's well-being.
The next day, in the old city district.
An elegant Mercedes-Benz with a license plate from the city of Koushan arrived at Wang Chao's house.
An extravagantly dressed elderly lady from the Li family stepped out of the car, using a cane, her expression proud, and commanded, "Li Hong, go knock on the door and tell Li Han that I've come to see her!"
