180: Zhao Tianhu is dead! Get in Lin Wan'er's car!

Wang Jie’s figure suddenly faded on the spot, like a wisp of smoke.

Too fast!

So fast that the two Level 55 elite bodyguards didn't even have time to react.

By the time Zhao Tianhu’s consciousness registered the danger, a bone-chilling cold of death had already completely enveloped him from head to toe.

He only felt a slight chill at his neck.

The next moment, the whole world turned upside down.

His vision spun, and he saw his own headless body, a bizarre scene of blood gushing from the severed neck, and Wang Jie’s face, full of mockery and disdain.

“Next life, be smarter when you reincarnate.”

“Some people, you can’t afford to provoke.”

This was the last sentence Zhao Tianhu heard in this world.

Then, his consciousness completely sank into boundless darkness.

“Second Young Master!”

The two elite bodyguards watched this scene with their own eyes, their eyes instantly turning crimson, furious!

They never dreamed that Wang Jie would dare to actually kill Zhao Tianhu right in front of them!

He’s crazy!

This is practically tearing off all pretense with the Zhao family and declaring all-out war!

“Wang Jie! You’re courting death!”

The hot-tempered bodyguard let out a beast-like roar, his long saber whipping up a gale that could cleave stone and break metal, slashing down fiercely at Wang Jie’s head!

However, Wang Jie merely glanced at him indifferently.

His figure blurred again, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away in the darkness, leaving only a cold remark.

“Go back and tell the Zhao family that today was just a small warning. If you dare to provoke me again, next time, it won’t be just one Zhao Tianhu who dies.”

Before his voice faded, his aura completely vanished into the night.

“Chase him!”

The two bodyguards didn't even have time to think; their bodies had already rushed out ahead.

The Second Young Master was dead, and as his personal bodyguards, they could not escape responsibility.

If they couldn't even catch the killer, the family head would surely flay them alive when they returned!

But they chased for several kilometers, and let alone Wang Jie himself, they didn't even see a single hair of his.

The man seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

“Damn it! We lost him!”

The hot-tempered bodyguard punched a large tree by the roadside, making the leaves rustle.

“What do we do now?” asked the other, relatively calmer bodyguard.

“The Second Young Master is dead, and going back is a dead end for us too! How about… we run?” The hot-tempered bodyguard gritted his teeth, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

“Run?” The calm bodyguard gave a tragic smile. “Where do we run to? Don’t you know how powerful the Zhao family is? In the entire Xia Kingdom, where can we go? We’ll be caught within three days, and then we’ll die an even worse death!”

“Then what do you suggest we do?! Just go back and wait for death?!” The hot-tempered bodyguard paced back and forth restlessly.

The calm bodyguard was silent for a long time, a calculating glint in his eyes, before slowly speaking: “We… still have one way to survive.”

“What way?”

“Report truthfully.” The calm bodyguard said, enunciating each word, his voice extremely low, “Tell the family head everything we saw and heard, not missing a single word.”

The hot-tempered bodyguard was stunned: “You mean… identify Wang Jie as the killer?”

“Exactly.” The calm bodyguard nodded, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

“The Wang and Zhao families have long been in constant open and secret conflict due to clashes of interest. Now that Wang Jie has personally killed the Second Young Master, this is the fuse that will ignite the powder keg! As long as we report this, the two families are bound to go to war!”

“At that time, the family head’s entire focus will be on dealing with the Wang family; how could he have time to pursue the responsibility of two small fry like us?”

“As the only eyewitnesses, we might even be able to make amends for our mistakes!”

This analysis was like a ray of light, illuminating the hot-tempered bodyguard’s despair.

“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that!” He slapped his thigh. “Let’s do it!”

The two immediately agreed and quickly returned to the business van, which still reeked of a foul odor.

They first roughly woke up the influencer girl, who was slumped on the ground, already scared out of her wits.

“You saw everything that just happened?”

“Y-yes, I saw it…” The girl trembled like a sieve.

“Who killed Second Young Master Zhao?”

“Wang… Wang Jie…”

“Very good.” The calm bodyguard leaned into her ear, his voice like a venomous snake hissing.

“Remember everything you saw today, not a single word wrong. If you dare to speak carelessly… you should know the consequences.”

Finally, they took Zhao Tianhu’s still-warm body, along with the trembling girl, and returned to the capital overnight… And the instigator of all this, Su Mo, knew nothing about it.

In the high-end Western restaurant, the atmosphere was pleasant.

Su Mo and Lin Wan were having a great conversation; more accurately, it was Su Mo’s one-sided verbal “offensive” and Lin Wan’s impeccable and calm responses.

After the meal, Su Mo looked at the woman in front of him. Whether it was her intelligence, emotional intelligence, or the intellectual, mature aura emanating from her very core, it made the thoughts in his heart grow wildly like weeds.

“The meal is over, Team Leader Lin, what are your plans next?” Su Mo asked with a smile. “How about we go see a movie?”

“No movie for me.” Lin Wan elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin and glanced at her watch.

“I still have some official business to handle; I need to go back to the bureau.”

“Working overtime so late? Team Leader Lin is truly a dedicated pioneer.” Su Mo feigned surprise.

“Just doing my job.” Lin Wan stood up, a perfectly professional smile on her face. “Mr. Su Mo, thank you for the treat today. Let’s meet again another time.”

Although her words were polite, they were full of a sense of distance, clearly indicating she was ready to see him off.

How could Su Mo let her leave just like that?

“I’ll see you off.” He also stood up. “Conveniently, it’s on my way.”

Lin Wan glanced at him, a playful, all-knowing glint flashing in her beautiful eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses.

She, of course, knew that Su Mo was not giving up and wanted to linger a bit longer.

She did not refuse, merely nodding gently: “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Su Mo.”

The two walked out of the restaurant, and a black Hongqi sedan with a special license plate had already silently pulled up at the entrance.

A female driver in a crisp uniform, looking dashing, got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear passenger door for Lin Wan.

“Team Leader Lin, please get in.”

Lin Wan was about to bend down, but Su Mo, like a gust of wind, slipped in before her, and very casually patted the empty seat beside him.

“Team Leader Lin, sit here; it’s spacious.”

Lin Wan looked at his thick-skinned, matter-of-fact demeanor, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

This guy truly didn’t know the meaning of politeness.

She shook her head helplessly, but ultimately got in.
