One cannot foresee the future, but there are times when one must plan for the future, especially when one is about to be in trouble.
Of course, Deng Fan did not predict that he would be in trouble. As for whether the plan could be carried out smoothly or not, it was a different matter.
A schemer is a schemer, and things happen in the sky.
Deng Fan's plan this time obviously could not be considered as successful, but the results were the same. That would mean that he and Du Xue had parted ways, and it was very likely that they would never meet again in the future.
He could only accept this painful fact, even in tears, because it was part of his plan.
He had planned to leave Du Xue since a long time ago, and had to leave no matter what. This was because he knew that he didn't belong here, and it was impossible for him to stay together with Du Xue on any terms.
After leaving Du Xue's house, Deng Fan went straight to the rented house, with a sum of money prepared for his future expenses.
He planned to go to Wen Du by boat tonight.
Ever since Deng Fan's Wen Du was wanted by the entire city, he had never returned. However, a year ago, his black list was erased by the government. This was all thanks to his close friend, Xiao Li.
Even though they hadn't met each other for more than two years, they had been secretly contacting each other until Deng Fan lost his memories. Therefore, the first person Deng Fan wanted to see when he went to Wen Du was Xiao Li.
The reason why Deng Fan had lost his memories was all because of the reason why he came to Mooncloud City.
Deng Fan who had always been in Europe suddenly received a special mission. Someone entrusted him with the task of protecting a high ranking official, and so he flew directly by plane to Mooncloud City.
The statesman was about to take part in the next presidential election, but because his political position was so extreme, if he took office it would likely lead to war, which was why he was on the assassination list.
That day, when the important figures that Deng Fan protected went to the meeting in Mooncloud City, Deng Fan predicted that the assassin would make his move on that day, so he carried out a plan. He wanted the important figures to return through the small path, pretending to be important figures as he turned back along the main road.
Deng Fan was good at changing his appearance, and at making human skin masks.
At that time, he was wearing a human skin mask, and it was hard to tell if it was real or fake by looking at it from close up.
The night had fallen, and two bridgecars had appeared on a yellow mud road on the outskirts of Baiyue City. One in front and one behind, Deng Fan sat on the passenger seat of the car in the back.
The night was quiet, and there was no sound to be heard but the wind and the dull sound of the car's engine.
However, the crisis was secretly brewing out of sight in the night.
At the time of the crisis, there were no suspicious people in sight. There was only something similar to a grenade rolling down the middle of the road.
A car in front was immediately forced to stop, and the car behind it also stopped.
"What happened?" the driver of the car behind him asked.
"Get out of the car quickly!" There's a hand grenade! " Hearing the cry of alarm, four men in black jumped out from a bridgewagon in front of them.
After everyone got out of the car, they realized that the thing rolling down the middle of the road was not a grenade. They all let out a long sigh of relief. Just as someone was about to check the suspicious object, they suddenly saw a thick cloud of smoke floating out from the fist-sized object. The smoke spread out very quickly along with the wind.
"Cover your nose and hold your breath!" Deng Fan anxiously reminded.
Just as he finished speaking, two people had already fallen.
Although the rest of them temporarily covered their noses and mouths, they were still unable to escape, and in a short while, they fell into the thick smoke.
In the blink of an eye, the only person who could still stand was Deng Fan.
As the thick smoke dissipated, a tall figure appeared in the middle of the road. It was a man wearing a white mask.
Deng Fan didn't need to think too much before knowing that this man was an assassin. He had been waiting for this very moment.
"Looks like I've been tricked." The masked man was the first to speak, his tone filled with disappointment.
Deng Fan also stopped pretending and quickly took off his human skin mask, replying coldly: "You probably didn't think of it, right?"
"I really didn't think, and I really didn't know, that you could still stand after inhaling the smoke." The masked man said faintly.
"I'm not an ordinary person." Deng Fan said, "Even if I don't use the Breath Forging Technique, this poisonous smoke might not be able to affect me."
"You are indeed a strange person." The masked man said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice. You shouldn't be here."
"Where should I appear?" Deng Fan asked casually.
"You should be sleeping comfortably in your bed now, not coming here to spoil my business." The masked man said.
"I don't understand, why do you insist on killing him?"
"Because if I don't kill him, even more people will die because of him."
"That's just your prejudice. I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case."
"For the sake of a million innocent lives, I must gamble."
"Is that why you killed?"
"What about you? Didn't you protect him for the sake of money? " The masked man asked.
"All I know is that you have no right to kill, no matter what the purpose is." Deng Fan said solemnly.
"If you meet a robber who kills people without blinking, don't you want to kill him?"
"But the person I'm protecting is obviously not a bandit, and he could be the next president."
The masked man suddenly sneered. His laughter was full of ridicule as he said, "The person you are protecting is thousands of times scarier than those bandits who kill people and steal their goods. Do you know how many innocent civilians will be harmed once a war breaks out?"
Deng Fan heard and was suddenly at a loss for words. He did not consider such things, and did not know how to refute at the moment. However, being entrusted by others and being loyal to others, his mission was to protect important figures, to eliminate all threats. You speak as if you were great, but to me you are nothing more than a petty murderer. "
"I will only kill those who deserve to be killed. I will not kill carelessly." The masked man's tone was firm.
Deng Fan could not help but sneer: "Then how do you explain the people lying on the ground? Could it be that they are also people who should be killed? "
"They just fell asleep. The smoke is non-toxic." The masked man replied.
Deng Fan's gaze slowly contracted as he stared at the masked guy. After a moment, he probed again, "Then, will you kill me?"
"If you stop me again, I'll have to kill you." The masked man said without any hesitation.
"There won't be a next time." After Deng Fan finished speaking, his cold face revealed a murderous look.
"You want to kill me?"
"This is my mission."
"How stupid!" The masked man seemed to be angry. He emphasized, "You can't be my opponent."
"Is that so? "Then let's use the most primitive method to determine the victor?" Deng Fan slowly clenched his fists.
The masked man snorted and said: "Since you are so stubborn, I can only help you." People choose their own paths, if you have to blame something, you have to blame yourself for choosing the wrong path! "
"Being too confident isn't necessarily a good thing. It's still unknown who will win." Deng Fan said.
"Then come at me. I will end this quickly!" The masked man's voice was very vigorous and powerful, and the experts in the industry could tell that he was a martial artist with a deep cultivation.
Deng Fan was naturally an expert, from the masked guy's voice, he could tell that this man was not someone who was easy to deal with. Although he was not certain of winning, he was confident that he could defeat his opponent.
However, Deng Fan's judgement was wrong, and ridiculously wrong.
Not only was he not a match for the masked guy, but his strength was far from being a match for him.
The two of them had only exchanged less than thirty rounds, and Deng Fan had already lost, moreover he had been killed in one strike.
Although the masked man's attack didn't want Deng Fan's life, it immediately made Deng Fan lose consciousness. Hence, the story of Deng Fan's amnesia.
Although the two of them had only exchanged blows for less than thirty rounds, the process was extremely intense. Even those who were not experts could tell that they were people with unique skills with a single glance. It was also because of this that Du Xue had thought of borrowing Deng Fan's power to kill Duan Wuxie and take revenge for his own mother.
In order to prevent Deng Fan from interfering with him further, the masked man was just about to use his life on the unconscious Deng Fan, when another masked man appeared.
This was also a woman wearing a white mask. She rushed over and knelt in front of the masked man, begging: "Master, please have mercy! Don't kill him! "
"You're actually pleading for mercy on his behalf?" The masked guy looked at the female disciple in front of Deng Fan in shock, "What's your relationship with him?"
"He once saved me, and was my savior. I can't just watch him die. I beg you, on my disciple's account, to bypass him this time!" After Mask Woman finished speaking, she knelt down in front of her master with an extremely pious attitude.
"Did he really save you?" The masked man was in disbelief.
"Absolutely, I swear to the heavens!" "He risked his life to save me, I did not repay him. If he died now, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
The masked man thought for a moment and finally nodded his head. "You can get up!"
"Master agreed to let him go?" Mask Woman's voice was filled with joy, but she did not immediately stand up.
"Since he is your savior, I will spare him this time. However, if he continues to obstruct my plan, then next time, even if the Sky Emperor were to plead on his behalf, it would be useless!" the masked man said.
"Thank you, master!" Mask Woman hurriedly thanked him, then stood up and said, "I guarantee that I won't let him obstruct Master's assassination again."
At this time, Du Xue and her sworn brother Zhou Xin, who had been watching from afar, quietly ran over after the masked Master and disciple went far, and brought the unconscious Deng Fan back.
So far, the events that had happened before and after Deng Fan's amnesia could be considered as completely connected together.
However, Deng Fan could not hear the conversation between the masked master and his disciple. In order to investigate more about the masked assassin, he decided to return to the Wen Du to look for two key people. One was Xiao Li, and the other was Di Lili.
Xiao Li was someone who could understand a hundred things, and Deng Fan thought that finding him to understand more about the masked assassin wouldn't be wrong. As Di Lili was a police officer, he would definitely know some information about the masked assassin.
Of course, the reason Deng Fan had to pay a visit to Di Lili was because Di Lili was his close female friend, and also a close female friend who had rolled over bed sheets together with him.
