180: Chapter 179 Don't shoot, we're on the same side.

"Send a message to your dad, just say everything is safe, and have him rush to the border line to wait and pick us up. By the way, say hello to the border Police comrades."

Tang Wuying quickly lowered his head to operate it.

Gu Han stood aside, staring at the pitch-black river surface.

Actually, earlier inside the Divine Realm, he had already summoned Gu Yanxiao with the contract to report that he was safe, and also told him not to tell Mom and his younger sister about the matter.

He also asked his dad to say hello to the border defense department first, but Gu Yanxiao was of humble status and lacked influence after all.

Dragging the Tang Family into it as well would be safer; at least he wouldn't be detained at the border defense department for too long.

"Let's go."

Gu Han took the lead and drilled into the grass upstream along the riverbank.

The weeds were taller than a person, and the muddy ground underfoot was slippery and sticky. Tang Wuying followed unsteadily, stepping high and low.

After walking for more than an hour, Gu Han stopped, took out the handheld device, and repeatedly confirmed the positioning.

This was the narrowest river bend of this river.

After crossing to the opposite bank, it was also very close to the border line.

"We will cross the river right here." Gu Han put away the handheld device.

With a thought in Gu Han's mind, seven-colored flames instantly ignited between his brows, and he glanced at the smart assistant.

"Come over." Gu Han beckoned to Tang Wuying.

Tang Wuying swallowed his saliva and leaned forward.

Gu Han probed his Mental Energy along the firelight into the Divine Realm, precisely locking onto a Black-Armored Ant-man.

Mind possession.

An illusory contour of a Black-Armored Ant-man emerged on the surface of Gu Han's body.

With another thought of his, the Seven-Colored Fire burned fiercely, distorting the surroundings. A pair of transparent phantom membrane wings instantly opened behind his back, emitting a low-frequency hum.

The Power Of Faith burned at 126 points per second.

Damn it! So much! Gu Han didn't have time to think and grabbed Tang Wuying's shoulder.

"Holy shit, go lighter!" Tang Wuying sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain.

Before the words fell, Gu Han kicked the ground fiercely, and the phantom membrane wings vibrated at high frequency.

The two soared into the air, flying swiftly close to the water surface.

The night wind whistled in his ears. Tang Wuying clutched Gu Han's arm tightly, looking at the turbulent river water under his feet, not even daring to breathe heavily.

The wide river surface retreated rapidly below. Gu Han stared at the opposite bank, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Flying while carrying a person was much more strenuous than acting alone. Fortunately, the Power Of Faith did not burn double; it became 140 points per second.

He was even prepared for the two of them to fall into the river and swim for a while after it burned out.

Two and a half minutes later.

The two heavily crashed into the grass on the opposite bank.

Gu Han withdrew the Divine Fire, his whole body feeling like it had fallen apart. His hands and feet were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to crawl up.

This river crossing burned a full 21400 points of Power Of Faith.

His foundation was almost hollowed out, leaving only a pitiful 1200 points.

"Are you alright?" Tang Wuying lay on the ground, lowering his voice.

Gu Han panted heavily, unable to even lift his hand. "Hanging you, weighing over a hundred catties, across the river—do you think I can be okay? I feel like my shoulder blades are about to fall apart. Once we cross this patch of grass, it will be the border line."

Tang Wuying quickly climbed to his feet and propped up Gu Han's arm.

Supporting each other, the two shuffled forward step by step, heading toward the light spot ahead.

Before long, a towering barbed wire fence blocked their way, and the strong light of a searchlight swept across from time to time.

"What person! Stop!"

Several beams of flashlight instantly hit the faces of the two.

Fully armed border Police rushed over from the dark with guns.

"Don't shoot, we are on the same side!" Tang Wuying hurriedly raised both hands.

Gu Han stood by the fence. "We are here to report a case. My name is Gu Han, and he is Tang Wuying."

The patrolling Police captain leading the team walked forward, carefully checked the appearances of the two, and confirmed via walkie-talkie.

"Open the door."

The iron fence was pushed open.

The two were brought into the interrogation room of the border outpost.

Two cups of steaming hot water were pushed in front of them.

Routine questioning began.

"How did you escape?" The Police captain held a logbook.

Gu Han leaned back in the chair. The two were questioned separately, and he stated the story they had strung together along the way.

Escaping, being chased, grabbing a gun, counter-killing, pushing corpses into the river, fleeing around the river—most of it was true, including the fact that the pistol was thrown away at the end.

The Police captain closed the notebook. Someone had already given a heads-up beforehand: these two were Jinghai students with special identities.

"Alright, rest here for a bit. Your family members are already on the way."

As dawn was approaching, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from outside.

The door of the outpost was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing a custom suit strode in, followed by several bodyguards with deep auras who looked like Advanced demigods at a glance.

Tang Wuying looked up, and his eye rims instantly turned red.

"Dad!"

Tang Shan stepped forward quickly, looked his son up and down to make sure he was missing no arms or legs, and only then did his tense facial muscles relax.

He turned his head and looked at Gu Han sitting beside them.

The air seemed to stall at this moment.

Gu Han picked up the paper cup, took a sip of water, and met Tang Shan's gaze.

That look carried undisguised scrutiny, along with a hint of hidden gloom.

Gu Han had a vague guess in his heart; Tang Shan probably already knew about Tang Wuying being enslaved by him.

But Tang Shan said nothing, not even changing his expression in the slightest.

"Classmate Gu, right? Thanks to you and my Wuying looking out for each other this time." Tang Shan extended his right hand.

Gu Han stood up and shook that hand.

"You're too polite, it was just good luck."

The atmosphere was very subtle. His son was Gu Han's slave, yet Tang Shan had to pretend to think Gu Han was his son's slave.

Back and forth—without being a professional-grade actor, one couldn't grasp that degree at all.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrade. I have already handled the procedures." Tang Shan couldn't keep a straight face first, turned around to shake hands and thank the Police captain. "If there is any need to cooperate with the investigation later, contact the Tang Family legal department at any time."

"Alright, walk slowly, keep communication clear recently."

Coming out of the outpost, three black bulletproof off-road vehicles were parked in the night.

"Get in the car." Tang Shan pulled open the door of the middle car.

"Are we going home?" Tang Wuying asked.

"Rushing to Jinghai." Tang Shan's tone was tough. "I've already booked the early morning flights for the two of you. I'll send the two of you together; Jinghai is safer than anywhere else."

Gu Han didn't mind. After all, life still had to go on, and books still had to be read.

As the capital city, Jinghai City—whether it was King Wafan or Commander Ang Tai—would never dare to cause trouble in Jinghai.

That place was indeed the most suitable place for development.

The three filed in, the car doors closed, the engines roared, and the motorcade drove into the boundless night.

The two first went to a hotel near the airport to clean up and change clothes before boarding the plane to depart.

Tang Shan also escorted them along the way, except that he and Tang Wuying were in a separate VIP cabin.

Gu Han looked at the fish-belly white emerging in the sky outside the window. Acting as special forces for this day was more tiring than all the hardships he had eaten in the first half of his life.

The changes brought by being a demigod were indeed huge. Stumbling all the way, he hadn't even had time to properly experience it.

At this moment, the handheld device received a message from his dad Gu Yanxiao. Just before boarding, Gu Han had reported safety to him.

Opening the message, Gu Han smiled knowingly.

[Son, Dad is going to join the army. When you were kidnapped, I could only worry anxiously without being able to help you with anything. I even wanted to go to the military region and kneel down, surrendering myself in exchange for rescue, but that would ultimately still be waiting for someone's charity.]

[Dad has already used everything you gave me. Having lived cowardly for half a lifetime, I will start over and become stronger in the army. You just go forward boldly, and I will strive to become your support...]

It seemed that Dad had also guessed his own ability and didn't want to add to his burden. Gu Han deeply respected his choice.

With Dad's skills and that restless streak from his youth, he would definitely be able to play a significant role in the army. Once Dad had a military background, those people would also have some reservations when reaching out in the future.

[Alright, Old Gu, go for it!]
