Chapter 978 - Youre Still In It For The Money (2/2)

It was not that Luo Lan regarded himself to be that influential, but surely the people who attempted to have him killed should have considered the consequences, right?

Wait a minute! This was the same scenario as Jiang Xu's death. If everyone thought the Wang Consortium was behind it, and if Luo Lan really died, his death would likely lead to a showdown between the Qing Consortium and the Wang Consortium. If they still could not find the mastermind after some time, it was very possible the Qing Consortium would launch a full-scale war against the Wang Consortium based on Qing Zhen's character.

In that case, who would hope most to see the Qing Consortium declare war on the Wang Consortium? Who was it that wanted to see everyone in the world become enemies with the Wang Consortium?

Luo Lan could roughly guess at a few possibilities, but he was still a little unsure.

Zhou Qi, who had been taking shelter from the rain, suddenly straightened up and looked towards the end of a street. There was a black-clothed person walking slowly towards them.

Zhou Qi turned around and looked in the other direction and saw another person similarly standing in the empty street.

All of a sudden, people in black were slowly approaching from all four directions of the intersection. It was as though they already had Luo Lan surrounded.

The residents of Luoyang City were so frightened by the gunfire they hid at home. Only some of the braver ones dared to look out through their house windows.

As such, the people who had appeared were here to kill Luo Lan.

Luo Lan grinned and said, ”I was wondering why everyone went after Ren Xiaosu as soon as he appeared. They didn't even care about me anymore. So they were just cannon fodder to force Ren Xiaosu away from here before sending in their aces to handle me. Well done, great strategy. An opponent like this really makes things more interesting.”

Zhou Qi stood quietly in front of Luo Lan. ”Stop mumbling. When the fight breaks out, stay within three meters of me.”

Luo Lan looked at Zhou Qi's back and chuckled. ”Moneyface, you're actually acting like a hero for once? But I didn't bring any money with me this time.”

Zhou Qi rolled his eyes. ”Your brother paid me yesterday.”

”Ptui.” Luo Lan said disdainfully, ”To think I thought you changed. So you're still in it for the money.”

In the heavy rain, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi nearly got into an argument.

But when the four hitmen came within a 100 meters of them, Zhou Qi's expression suddenly turned serious. This was a lethal trap the other party had meticulously set for Luo Lan, so the people who came must be very strong.

In an instant, the drizzle falling from the sky became a little different. As the raindrops fell, they were stretched by an invisible force that slowly turned from water droplets into long and narrow silver needles.

When the fine raindrops hit the ground, they actually tinkled. It was like several hundred thousand needles had fallen from the sky.

Rainy days were basically Zhou Qi's home field.

Luo Lan praised, ”Zhou Qi, your power has grown even stronger!”

Zhou Qi did not say anything. He was prepared to make his move.

However, before the two sides could unleash their killing intent, Zhou Qi was suddenly taken aback. He was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu's figure standing on the street on the southern side.

A black-clothed hitman was walking over slowly while Ren Xiaosu lurked close behind.

The silhouette of the young man in the black rain poncho appeared mysterious and calm, as if slowly emerging out of a misty waterfall.

This time, no one expected Ren Xiaosu to finish off all the hitmen so quickly.

It was like a magician had casually performed a disappearing act.. Several hundred people truly vanished and never came back again.
