NOVEL NEXT Chapter 563: The Next Target
Faced with the threat of death, Chen Tao didn't dare not to answer Shen Yijin's question, so he could only gasp and respond, "It was... it was the Eldest Young Master Chen... oh no, it was Poison Dragon, under Chen Shiwei's command, who did it. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Poison Dragon?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, that's right. Poison Dragon was brought back by Chen Shiwei from the Hunter Training Base Ultimate Class. Because his goods were raided by your Zhujiang Island, they sent Poison Dragon to assassinate your father. It was all Poison Dragon's doing, not mine." Chen Tao said.
"Damn, a master trained at the Hunter Training Base Ultimate Class!" Lin Mu cursed silently. He naturally understood what a formidable guy someone trained in the Hunter Training Base Ultimate Class would be. No wonder he could take down Shen Gongbao and then withdraw quietly. For a hunter at the Profound Red Level, such things weren't difficult. Like Lin Mu himself, a hunter at the Profound Red Level, dealing with the experts on Zhujiang Island was almost effortless. So this Poison Dragon must be at least a Super Hunter at the Profound Orange Realm.
"Poison Dragon!" Shen Yijin muttered Poison Dragon's name, his fingers cracking loudly.
"I... I've said what I needed to, can I leave now?" Chen Tao asked fearfully, looking at Shen Yijin.
"Leave? Hehe, well then, let me send you off!" Shen Yijin sneered and struck Chen Tao's chest with his palm, turning his hand into a blade with fierce strokes. As Chen Tao took this hit, his body flew backward and landed heavily on the ground!
With a gurgle, Chen Tao clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood frantically, then his body kept twitching, spitting out frothy blood. If Lin Mu's prediction was correct, Chen Tao's internal organs had likely been shattered by Shen Yijin!
Chen Tao lay on the ground, gradually ceasing his twitching!
"Blood Kill, Du Zhan, clean up the body!" Shen Yijin ordered.
Blood Kill nodded, took a bottle of Corpse-Dissolving Powder from his pocket, and sprinkled it on Chen Tao's body. Soon, Chen Tao's flesh was dissolved, leaving just a pool of fresh blood on the ground!
After dealing with Chen Tao, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin returned to the car with the others, and Shen Yijin, sitting in the passenger seat, took out the list of names that Sophie had given him. He drew an X over Chen Tao's name. Staring at the list, Shen Yijin fixed his eyes on Poison Dragon's name, knowing that since Chen Tao said Poison Dragon did it, it must be true!
"Someday I'll take you down!" Shen Yijin glared at Poison Dragon's name coldly.
"Young Master Jin, Ye Niao is next!" Lin Mu said.
"Let's move tonight. I can't wait. I want to take care of Poison Dragon as soon as possible!" Shen Yijin said.
Lin Mu could now understand Shen Yijin's feelings, but Ye Niao was certainly not a character like Chen Tao. Being ranked after the Xia Family Brothers, Ye Niao must be even better than them by a margin!
The Xia Family Brothers' skills Lin Mu understood well; they were exceptionally strong, and since Ye Niao was ranked after them, he shouldn't be underestimated!
"Young Master Jin, I think there's no need to be so hasty. This gang under Chen Shiwei isn't easy to deal with. Chen Tao is just a minor role; the real bosses are these people. If it were easy to deal with them, I would have acted long ago, so we should go about it strategically. It's not too late to act until we have figured out Ye Niao's background!" Lin Mu said to Shen Yijin.
Shen Yijin pondered for a moment and nodded, "Fine, I'll follow your plan, but as quickly as possible!"
Lin Mu patted Shen Yijin's shoulder, "Don't worry, our target isn't Ye Niao or Poison Dragon; it's Chen Shiwei. The true mastermind is Chen Shiwei. It's not that easy to deal with him. We must systematically take down his minions before we can apprehend them all!"
No words were spoken that night, and to be brief, by the next morning, Shen Yijin arranged for Blood Kill and Du Zhan to secretly observe Ye Niao's actions. Only by understanding Ye Niao's movements could they have a chance to act!
However, a bad piece of news came that afternoon: Blood Kill and Du Zhan were discovered and had a confrontation with Ye Niao. The two of them fought with Ye Niao and were nearly overpowered by him, despite joining forces!
When Lin Mu heard this news, he was quite surprised. He had a decent understanding of Blood Kill and Du Zhan's skills; both were formidable! They were discovered while tailing Ye Niao, and even teaming up they couldn't beat him, which showed how abnormal Ye Niao's skills were!
"What happened?" Shen Yijin asked.
"We underestimated our opponent and didn't pay much attention to concealment. We were discovered by Ye Niao while tailing him, and then we clashed. We didn't expect Ye Niao's skills to be so strong; the two of us lost to him, and it was only with great effort that we managed to retreat and return!" Blood Kill recounted the situation.
Lin Mu sat on the sofa, exhaling smoke, "I knew it all along. This Ye Niao is definitely not easy to deal with, a tough character!"
"No matter how strong he is, I will take him down!" Shen Yijin said with determination.
"Of course, but I think we need to change our approach now!" Lin Mu said, exhaling smoke while sitting on the sofa.
"Do you have a good plan?" Shen Yijin asked.
Lin Mu smiled and glanced at Blood Kill, "Deploy a sniper. With a gun, no matter how badass Ye Niao is, he can't escape a sniper's shot!"
"Use a sniper rifle? But I didn't bring my sniper rifle, it's back on Zhujiang Island, and using a sniper rifle in the city could have quite an impact, right?" Blood Kill asked.
In a city, the appearance of firearms is strictly prohibited, whether in a gang fight or otherwise; using firearms is a completely different matter!
"Don't worry, I've already prepared. I'll provide the guns, and the bullets are specially treated so they can't be traced!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
Last time, when the sniper expert Left Army tried to assassinate Lin Mu, the sniper rifle was taken by Lin Mu, and such a tool can be very useful at a critical moment!
Moreover, those sniper bullets are specially treated precisely for operating in urban areas; otherwise, when Lin Mu asked Qi Manlin to examine the bullets last time, it wouldn't have been impossible to get any clues!
"If that's the case, then let's do as Boss Lin said. Blood Kill, your marksmanship is good, this task is yours. Shouldn't be a problem, right?" Shen Yijin asked.
Blood Kill nodded, "As long as I have the equipment, there won't be a problem!"
Lin Mu nodded and called Earth Wolf to bring the sniper rifle over. After five or six minutes, the room door opened, and Earth Wolf walked in carrying a box!
"Boss, the equipment is here!" Earth Wolf said as he entered, placing the box on the table.
