At the End of the Road

"Zero One, Zero One, this is Zero Two. They're escaping through the back door of the villa."

Gao Liyuan spoke as she watched the footage transmitted from the surveillance equipment.

Everyone outside immediately became fully alert.

"Copy that," An Youyi replied curtly.

Without hesitation, she leaped from the second floor of the villa.

Using the lawn below as a cushion, she landed safely.

An Youyi had a large sniper rifle strapped to her back, a submachine gun in her hands, a pistol at her waist, and several daggers she always carried with her.

Based on the severity described by Xu Shi,

if Lin Fan managed to escape this time,

the chances of ever killing that scoundrel in the future would be close to zero!

Therefore, An Youyi was determined to eliminate him at all costs, once and for all!

Song Ligang followed closely behind.

They didn’t harm the lives of the ordinary staff at the Ma residence.

Knocking them out was enough.

Of course, they wore masks for this operation.

It wouldn’t make sense to storm into someone’s home, commit murder and arson,

and leave behind evidence, would it?

Even with Gao Liyuan and Gao Liming, the siblings from the Gao Family, present,

leaving witnesses at the scene would still be unwise.

The reason Lin Fan’s Dragon King Hall had risen so quickly overseas

was largely due to stepping over the corpses of their competitors, climbing step by step.

They had countless enemies.

Many people wanted them dead.

Lin Fan and Ma Qun understood this well.

After all, they had also killed many people themselves.

However, the ordinary servants in the Ma household were unaware of this.

To them, it seemed like a sudden, inexplicable disaster.

"Damn it, we really can’t stay in the country any longer. Let’s get out of here," Lin Fan said with a cold expression.

Ma Qun fully agreed with the proposal.

Returning to the Dragon King Hall would ensure their safety.

If not, they could flee abroad and lay low somewhere.

They didn’t believe there was any place in the world they couldn’t reach.

"Brother Lin, this way. It’s faster to get out from here," Ma Qun pointed in a direction.

The two of them didn’t stop running, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Meanwhile, Gao Liming was cursing them out.

Why?

Because if his nano-mosquito were to emerge now, there was a high chance it would be left behind.

Think about it—humans are so big, while mosquitoes are so small.

"Damn it!!! Are you two going to die if you stop running?!" Gao Liming snapped irritably.

He maneuvered the nano-mosquito into Ma Qun’s clothing.

Killing Ma Qun was pointless.

The top priority was to keep Lin Fan here.

For this reason, Gao Liming didn’t have the nano-mosquito inject Ma Qun with an anesthetic.

On Lin Fan’s side,

they thought they had shaken off the pursuers.

Lin Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn it, don’t let me find out who’s behind this..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunfire erupted from behind.

The distance between the two sides was about 150 meters.

The muzzle of An Youyi’s submachine rifle flashed with fire.

The moment the gunshots rang out,

Lin Fan and Ma Qun were startled.

They quickly took cover behind nearby structures to avoid the bullets.

"Damn it, who the hell sent these dogs after us?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but curse.

Anyone who could use firearms within the country

must have significant backing.

Soon,

Lin Fan immediately thought of the Han Family.

But then the question arose:

What evidence did the Han Family have to accuse him of causing trouble?

Was it really okay to kill without any clear evidence?

The enemy had guns, so they were in control.

On top of that, Lin Fan and Ma Qun couldn’t confirm

how many people were on the other side.

They couldn’t risk staying to fight back.

With Gao Liyuan’s assistance,

An Youyi and Song Ligang operated as if they had a god’s-eye view.

Lin Fan and Ma Qun had nowhere to hide.

Eventually, during one of their escape attempts,

Ma Qun was hit in the shoulder.

Lin Fan pulled him toward another direction.

To be fair,

they had been evading An Youyi for quite some time.

But the other side always seemed to find them.

His instincts had been warning him nonstop.

Something felt off.

"Damn it, there must be something wrong here," Lin Fan muttered, looking around as if searching for something.

Back at the Gao residence, Gao Liyuan, who was watching this scene, let out a startled cry.

"Oh no!!"

At that moment, Lin Fan looked up and his gaze landed on a surveillance camera above him.

Lin Fan felt like he had grasped the truth!!!

His mind suddenly cleared.

It all made sense now.

But at this critical moment,

Ma Qun suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground,

interrupting Lin Fan’s train of thought.

"What’s wrong with you?!" Lin Fan quickly crouched down to check on him.

Ma Qun was convulsing uncontrollably, completely unconscious.

He opened his mouth, trying to speak,

but his lips and teeth were trembling too much.

The words that came out were incoherent.

Not long after,

Ma Qun passed out.

Lin Fan had been shot before,

and he didn’t believe a single bullet could knock Ma Qun out.

He placed two fingers on Ma Qun’s wrist to check his pulse.

"Asleep? It feels like poisoning. Bullets can’t be laced with poison."

It was absurd—what kind of poison could survive the high temperatures generated when a bullet was fired?

There shouldn’t be any lethal poison that could knock someone out instantly.

Ma Qun’s pulse was normal.

He was just unconscious.

It was probably some kind of anesthetic.

Thinking this,

Lin Fan quickly took out the silver needles he always carried with him.

In no time, he inserted over 50 needles through Ma Qun’s clothes.

These needles were placed at various acupuncture points across his body.

There was a method to this.

Lin Fan completed the process skillfully in just a few minutes.

However, this placed a burden on the body.

The process to wake someone up normally would be more complicated and time-consuming.

But Lin Fan still needed Ma Qun to help block bullets!!!

"Pfft—"

Ma Qun spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes forced open, bloodshot and filled with pain.

His head was ringing,

and he felt disoriented.

But his mind was somewhat clearer now.

Lin Fan quickly explained,

"Little Ma, you were poisoned. I just helped expel the toxins from your body."

As he spoke, Lin Fan retrieved the silver needles in front of Ma Qun.

Ma Qun was still dazed but clasped his hands in gratitude.

Then he remembered something.

"Damn it, it must have been that bastard Pangolin!!"

Lin Fan was confused.

Ma Qun reached into his back

and pulled out something.

Lin Fan looked and saw a crushed nano-mosquito in Ma Qun’s hand.

In Shanghai, or even across the entire Dragon Nation,

who else could pull off something like this?

"Pangolin!!! The Gao Family is dead!!"

Lin Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot.

This feud was now set in stone.

A deadlock!!!

Having learned from Ma Qun’s experience,

Lin Fan circulated his internal energy, adjusting his breath, and formed a protective aura around his body, making it tangible.

Insects couldn’t get within a centimeter of his skin.

This was physically draining,

but considering Pangolin’s underhanded tactics and gadgets,

Lin Fan would rather expend a bit more energy

than risk being ambushed again.

"Quick, take this medicine," Lin Fan said decisively, pulling out one of the three blue pills his master had given him and stuffing it into Ma Qun’s mouth.

He had used one before, given one to Ma Qun,

and now only had one left.

But that was enough.

After swallowing the pill, Ma Qun’s energy quickly recovered, and his mind became clearer.

He was able to stand up.

Just as Ma Qun was about to thank him,

the sound of gunfire erupted from behind them.
