193 Chapter 193 A Chase
On the other hand, in a manor in the northern part of the town, Qiao Lansheng said after listening to w.a.n.g Quan’s report, “That means they’re vigilant. It’s only been a few days, and they’ve already found out about the girl.”
“Indeed. I thought that it would take some time and didn’t expect them to react so quickly. They are more difficult to deal with than we thought.
“Did they find you out?”
“I think they have. Some strangers have appeared outside the courtyard these past two days. They probably fired her after confirming my ident.i.ty.”
“Alright, since we’ve already alerted them, let’s move on to the second step.” After Qiao Lansheng finished speaking, his eyes turned sharp, and he crushed the teacup in his hand.
“Young master,” w.a.n.g Quan said hesitantly, “are you sure this will alarm the Third Prince’s forces here? “If we are exposed first, we are doomed.”
“The two are Zhou Huaiming’s saviors, and they get along well. Do you think Manager Liu would do nothing if something happened to them?
“As soon as he moves, we’ll take them from the back. I don’t believe that we can’t find their nest.”
“But the county mayor still has a garrison…”
“Don’t worry; I have my own arrangements.”
“Alright, I will make the arrangements then.”
“Go, but remember not to go to that courtyard in the future. Also, try not to show your face again.”
“I understand.” w.a.n.g Quan answered and left for the lower room.
The next day, Gu Chengrui was returning from the village when he saw two people approaching him in a hurry. Gu Chengrui was shocked to see their fierce faces; when did such people appear in a small town?
Before he could think further, the two of them rushed over to Gu Chengrui.
Gu Chengrui immediately realized that the two were coming for him. He immediately turned around and started running in a zigzag line.
At the same time, he opened his first aid box and took out the knockout powder and the air gun hidden inside. He threw the knockout powder into the air and quickly pierced through the paper bag scattering the powder around.
However, the two men were smart. When they saw that something was wrong, they immediately separated.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he used the air gun to hit the arm of the person who was chasing him the closest.
That person had been distracted for a moment because he dodged the knockout powder.
During that split second of distraction, the steel bead hit his arm. He grimaced in pain, and the other man was shocked by this.
None of them had expected that he had not only hidden medicine but also hidden weapons. For a moment, they didn’t dare act rashly and wanted to see what he was up to.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui grinned and took the opportunity to replace the steel b.a.l.l.s in the gun with two anesthetic needles.
However, he didn’t shoot at them when they were on full alert.
Instead, he turned around and ran into the mountains. If he could, he wanted to kill them in the mountains.
When the two of them saw him enter the mountain, they looked at each other and immediately gave chase. Otherwise, if he ran away, they would not be able to report back, and their companions would also laugh at them.
They did not expect that Gu Chengrui, a scholar, could tear through the mountainous terrain like a monkey. He was running faster than they could, and soon his figure disappeared.
“d.a.m.n, we got outdated info. Who said that he was just a doctor with some skills? His endurance and speed are better than ours!” One of them held onto a tree and exclaimed while panting.
“We’ve indeed underestimated our enemy. If we had known, we would have waited until we got closer before making our move.” The other replied in frustration.
As soon as he finished speaking, he froze for a moment before falling to the ground.
