"Thirteenth floor, going straight down the water pipe, extremely fast!" Susie glanced at the surroundings by the window and said, "This person must have received professional training."
"Perhaps he's a hybrid." Gu Ran recalled the scene when he threw the shuriken. At such close range, if he were an ordinary person, he couldn't have thrown the shuriken empty-handed.
There's only one possibility: the opponent is a hybrid and possesses some kind of spiritual power, causing his shuriken to miss.
Gu Ran glanced into the room and saw that two people were dead, one of whom was the Bangkok city councilor who had just toasted them.
Xiao Shui and Johnson also saw the two bodies.
They exchanged a glance and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
“Each of them was shot once, the fatal wounds were to the back of their heads, it was an execution-style firing squad,” Johnson said after entering and glancing at their wounds.
"A revenge killing?" Gu Ran speculated, looking at the two bleeding corpses.
Xiao Shui came in, glanced at the scene, and said, "It's hard to say, but... this city councilor's family has connections with the Siamese royal family. Who would be so bold as to carry out an assassination?"
Chapter 144 Couples Bickering
“If it’s about revenge, then the size of the power doesn’t matter,” Susie analyzed. “It might be a lone hero.”
Downstairs, the sound of police sirens rang out, indicating that the hotel had called the police.
“I’ll first tamper with the monitoring room to extricate us from this matter, so we don’t get questioned by the local security officers and cause a lot of trouble,” Xiao Shui said to the three of them. “Then, we’ll report it to headquarters and let them decide whether to intervene.”
After observing the assassin's skills, the group of them all felt that there was a high probability that he was of mixed race.
……
Because Xiao Shui tampered with the monitoring room, the Bangkok security guards did not see the scene of Xiao Shui and her group drawing their guns last night.
However, after the video was edited, it was still sent to the senator's family so that they could investigate it themselves.
Meanwhile, the Executive Department headquarters also issued a mission order, instructing Xiao Shui and Johnson to investigate the person's whereabouts first.
If it is confirmed that the person is of mixed race, then it is necessary to confirm whether the person's bloodline is stable before considering whether to capture or behead them.
Gu Ran and Su Xi then proceeded with their planned investigation.
The two of them had a week-long mission to find Zhang Qiong's whereabouts.
As for the other students, they will return to school as originally planned.
On the return flight, Li Enshu seemed sullen because she couldn't stay with Gu Ran any longer.
Qi Lan asked her, "Do you like Gu Ran?"
"Like it!"
"By the way, did you know that Gu Ran has a girlfriend?"
"I know!" Lee Eun-sook said casually, "They're my brother and sister-in-law!"
Qi Lan was confused: "Then you... still want to pursue Gu Ran?"
"I didn't want to pursue Gu Ran oppa! I just wanted to be with him."
Qi Lan really didn't understand her thought process. What did she mean by not wanting to pursue him but wanting to be with him?
He continued, "What...why are we together?"
“We don’t have to do anything special, just being together is enough!” Lee Eun-sook said matter-of-factly.
Qilan scratched his head, wondering if there was something wrong with their Indian view of love.
……
Gu Ran and Susie were at Bangkok Airport, preparing to take a plane to Chiang Mai.
According to information provided by Angers, the Zhang family branch that was expelled from China settled in Chiang Mai for a period of time.
Their purpose was to search for traces of the Zhang family and see if there were any clues about Zhang Qiong.
Gu Ran held a paper shuriken in his hand, tossing it around as he pondered something.
Last night's shuriken shouldn't have missed. What ability did the opponent use to dodge it?
Gu Ran tossed the paper dart into the sky in a whirlwind, but it was intercepted by Su Qian as it fell.
"You can even fold these little boy's toys?" Susie said to him with a smile.
Today, Susie wore a long ponytail, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, and denim shorts, showing off her long legs. She wasn't afraid of getting a tan at all.
Gu Ran reached out and snatched the paper dart back with lightning speed, before Su Qian could even react.
This ignited her competitive spirit, and she decided to snatch the dart back from Gu Ran.
But Gu Ran certainly wouldn't let her succeed. After a few defensive maneuvers, Su Qian became even more courageous.
Gu Ran didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he used a grappling technique to hold both of her wrists.
"Stop fooling around, I need to think about something," Gu Ran said.
Susie's hands were held captive, rendering her unable to move. Suddenly, she remembered her actions from the previous night, when she had almost been slashed by the 'crocodile'.
Actually, she was a bit flustered last night. She could control the 'crocodile' knife with her words, but she had little practical experience and her reaction time was not fast enough.
Moreover, she couldn't act as decisively as Gu Ran.
Gu Ran then released Su Xi's hands, sighed, and stopped thinking about what happened last night.
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. After that person is caught, you can ask Xiaoshui and the others, and they should understand.
Susie then asked Gu Ran, "Gu Ran, this is your first time killing someone...aren't you scared?"
“I was in danger of being killed or kidnapped at that time. If I didn’t kill someone, I might have been kidnapped.” Gu Ran recalled that time at Tian Ding Mountain.
He shoved the kunai straight down the throat of the half-breed.
"I didn't have time to be afraid."
Susie was surprised that Gu Ran had gone through something like that, so she asked him to tell her the story in detail.
After listening, she sighed, "It seems that people are forced to do things."
Gu Ran suddenly chuckled: "Senior sister, you're being inappropriate."
Susie wondered why she was being so inappropriate until she silently repeated what she had just said to herself a few times before she understood what Gu Ran meant.
She spat and said, "Pah! You're the one who's not serious, you little rascal!"
Gu Ran smiled and suddenly thought of Su Xiaoqiang, wondering how she was doing now.
As if they were telepathically connected, Su Xiaoqiang called him.
Gu Ran's phone number is a global roaming number; he can use it globally by paying for roaming access.
"Honey, where are you in Siam? I'll come visit you this weekend!" As soon as the call connected, Su Xiaoqiang immediately expressed her idea.
Siam is a tourist destination and offers visa-on-arrival. You can apply for a visa directly at the Siamese customs port.
The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and Su Xiaoqiang clearly has something in mind.
"I'm on an internship researching monitor lizards and crocodiles, I really don't have time to keep you company," Gu Ran said, making up an excuse.
A few days ago, when they were chatting, Gu Ran told her that he was going to Siam.
Siam is only one hour ahead of China, so these days they can talk on the phone and chat without spending a whole day or night.
"It's okay, I'll just watch you from the side, I won't bother you," Su Xiaoqiang said pitifully. "I miss you..."
"I miss you too... but it's still not possible."
Gu Ran will not let her go abroad now. The previous false information may have misled the people in the shadows. If the misleading was not successful, Su Xiaoqiang's current situation is very dangerous. She is only safe in China.
Even if the misleading attempt succeeded, Gu Ran didn't want her to take the risk.
There's plenty of time; we must wait until he rescues Zhang Qiong and resolves all the crises before making any further moves.
On the other end of the phone, Su Xiaoqiang kept pleading in a sweet, coquettish voice, saying she just wanted to come to Siam.
“No means no. It takes four or five hours to fly from Shanghai to Bangkok, and it would take you two days over the weekend. It would be too tiring for you to travel like that, and I would feel sorry for you.”
Gu Ran spoke words of concern, dissuading her from the idea: "I will not allow you to harm my body like this."
Su Xiaoqiang asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by harming 'your' body?"
"What do you think?" Gu Ran laughed. "You'd better promise to stay healthy so I can eat you up later..."
"You pervert!" Su Xiaoqiang understood what her boyfriend meant. "That's my body, what's it to you?"
What's yours is mine, it will be mine sooner or later, and it can only be mine.
"You big bad guy!" Su Xiaoqiang was appeased by her boyfriend's domineering words. "Okay, okay, I won't come, alright!"
"What gift do you want?" Gu Ran asked his girlfriend.
"I want you!" Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
"Besides me?"
I only want you!
Gu Ran smiled and said, "You have such a sweet tongue. You must try it when we get back."
"You shameless, despicable villain!"
"What, you don't want to? Then don't stick to me like a piece of malt sugar..."
"I'll stick to you, I'll stick to you, I'll stick to you!"
"I won't let you stick to me, I won't let you stick to me..."
Chapter 145 Enhancement of Perception Ability
Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang then engaged in a childish bickering on the phone.
He laughed for a while before noticing Susie standing to the side, staring at him with a strange expression.
She overheard the entire conversation.
Gu Ran stood up, gave an apologetic salute, then walked a little further away to continue his long phone conversation.
Susie looked up slightly and saw Gu Ran's handsome face not far away, as he was smiling and whispering sweet nothings to his girlfriend.
