194 Chapter 194 Turning The Tables

The other man was shocked, and just as he was about to go forward to check, he suddenly felt a sting on his back. He then quickly fell over on top of the other man.

Gu Chengrui brushed away the loose grass on his head and climbed out of a bush.

He stepped forward and retrieved the two needles, searched their bodies, and found five taels of silver and a banknote worth 90 taels of silver with two daggers. However, he did not find anything that could prove their identity.

This was fine, and he could now take everything for himself.

After packing up, he sat on the side and thought about how to deal with them. Ultimately, he used their daggers and stabbed each of their thighs, relieved to see they didn’t wake up.

As for whether they would bleed to death or be eaten by wild beasts, it was none of his business.

As he descended the mountain, he was relieved that there was no hocus-pocus or fantastical martial arts in this world. Otherwise, he knew he wouldn’t be able to escape death today. Now, he was just curious as to who sent these two men.

After much thought, he could pin it on Qiao Lansheng of the Qiao family. It seemed like he had to alert his wife as soon as possible.

At the thought of this, he quickened his pace.

He did not know that he had not walked far when two more people came out of hiding. These two weren’t as kind as Gu Chengrui, as they dragged the two attackers into the mountains and fed them to the wolves.

It was almost dark when Gu Chengrui returned to his clinic. After keeping his earnings there, he drove his cart to the restaurant.

Since Qian Zhuang and the others were also there, they went home together.

After they arrived home and finished dinner, Gu Chengrui told Zhou Ying about the assassination attempt. “Babe, don’t go out alone anymore. Remember to prepare something for self-defense, too.”

“You’re not hurt, are you?” Zhou Ying looked at him and asked.

“No, I didn’t let them get close to me.” Gu Chengrui reassured her. “Remember, don’t go out alone in the future.”

“I know, but I’m mainly worried about you. If worse comes to worst on my end, I’ll just bring them into my interspace and kill them.”

“Alright, but you have to be careful when using your interspace. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if you’re discovered.”

After that, the couple cleaned up, and Gu Chengrui had to attend to three more patients. The two entered the interspace as night fell, preparing their self-defense items, and then got busy.

Manager Liu also found out about Gu Chengrui’s incident through two of his men. He sighed and said, “I foresee it’s going to get worse. You two must protect their safety.

“However, if they can handle it, just do what you did today and help them clean up.

“Of course, it’d be best to find out the enemy’s hiding place. Remember, you must be extremely careful and not chase after a cornered enemy.”

“We understand, Uncle Liu. We’ll take our leave then.” The two of them nodded solemnly.

“Alright. Go down and take two taels of silver as your reward.” ManagerLiu nodded.

After that, he went out to look for Sun Hongliang and instructed, “The snakes are starting to come out of their holes. You must be careful over there and, at the same time, protect their safety.”

“I understand.” Sun Hongliang, his nephew, replied respectfully.

“Okay. Also, do a good job fortifying the restaurant’s defenses. Don’t let them be framed for anything. If that happens, we’ll be in a tough spot.”

“Alright,” Sun Hongliang then asked in confusion, “Uncle, why don’t you just reveal my identity? This way, not only can we better protect them, but we can also save a lot of trouble.”
