Chapter 491: Strong Counterattack

mewhat angry. He spoke in a low voice:"What right do you have to do that I'm his ancestor!""What rights do I have Of course, I have rights! He's mine!""Then you should also discuss it with me! I disag...Ripple and Gong Fan stood on opposite sides of the floor-to-ceiling window, while the gun case had originally been thrown to Gong Fan by someone on the street. It was a pity that it was hit halfway and fell right in the middle of the windowsill, completely exposed.

After hearing the ripple's words, Gong Fan didn't make a move. His brows were tightly furrowed.

“Either I draw his attention and you take him down, or you draw his fire and I’ll finish him. There are only two ways to do this. Don't waste time, or if he leaves, there will be a second assassination.”

Ripple stated firmly.

"Great!"

Gong Fan, after hearing this, decided to take the risk himself. He rolled forward on the ground and arrived at the gun case. With a kick, he sent the gun case flying towards Lian Yi. Immediately after, gunfire erupted. Gong Fan flipped backward as bullets whizzed past him. One struck his chest. Due to the impact, he flew backwards two meters before coming to a halt.

The ripples stepped on the kicked-over gun magazine, quickly opening it and assembling the sniper rifle inside. He loaded a bullet and then tossed the magazine aside.

The assassin across the way was already preparing to retreat, judging this mission to be a failure. However, just the next second, a black shadow flashed past the window, and he instinctively aimed and fired.

Then he discovered it was a gun magazine. As if realizing something, he immediately chambered a bullet, the muzzle twitched slightly, and in the sight he found his target.

The ripples at this moment appeared in the other party's sight, kneeling on one knee. The assassin also saw the gun in the other party's hand, his pupils contracted, and he immediately pulled the trigger.

As soon as the enemy's gunshot hit his magazine, she took a step forward, leaving her cover behind a pillar. She locked on to their position, using her scope for precise targeting, and then decisively pulled the trigger. She was confident in taking them down with one shot.

Both of them almost fired at the same time. After the gunshot, Lian felt a burning sensation in her left arm. Due to inertia, she also flew backward. However, the next second, Gong Fan caught her and they rolled several times, dodging behind a pillar.

After the ripples stabilized her form, Gong Fan had already pulled over a napkin from the side and pressed it against her bleeding left arm. He asked anxiously:

"Are you alright Are there any other injuries"

"It's okay, just my arm."

Although she was wearing a dress today, in order to cope with this sudden situation, her dress didn't hinder her from making large movements. The dress had a bulletproof vest inside, custom-made to her figure to avoid looking out of place and too obvious. Felix helped with this as well.

"You got shot too."

Ripple looked at the bullet hole in Gong Fan's chest and said.

"It's fine, I have a bulletproof vest, it's not a big deal."

Gong Fan carefully bandaged the bullet graze on Lian Yi's arm, not minding his own injuries.

The sound of sirens could be heard from downstairs now. Someone had already called the police because the shattered window glass had fallen to the ground.

"Go check on the guests. Don't give anyone an opportunity."

The ripples said to Gong Fan,

"As long as there are lions out there, trust in them. I'm only responsible for your safety."

Gong Fan said in a low voice, apparently not intending to leave her.

“I am sure I hit that killer.”

Ripple said softly, then turned her gaze to Zhou Ziquan who was struggling to get up. She hadn't used her full strength with that kick, but it was enough to give him a good jolt.

She stepped over the debris on the floor, moving towards Zhou Ziji step by step. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was like a drumbeat against Zhou Ziji's chest. He followed the sound to its source and looked into the ripples, his pupils constricted, covering his stomach and instinctively taking a step back.

"Mr. Zhou, you are not being honorable! You were talking business with me while leading me to the window so your assassin could attack. It would have been fine if it had succeeded, but unfortunately, it failed. What do you say we do now"

Gong Fan had already grabbed the other person and lifted them up from the ground. The guests who hadn't left were all staring at this with bated breath, gaining a new understanding of Yun Yi.

"No, it's not me! The Zhou family has decided to give up part of their business. How could they possibly do something like this"

Zhou Zijue vehemently denied it, feeling deeply wronged. His previous plan to seize control of Yun Yi and unify the entire Yunyi Group had completely failed.

At this moment, Ripples stretched out her hand painted with red nail polish and gently pinched the other person's chin, saying with a faint smile:

“I said, I don't like being threatened!”

With each word she spoke, her voice grew stronger, causing Zhou Zi Jue's face to turn ashen. Beads of sweat formed on his temples, and he felt like his jaw wasn't even his own anymore.

"Sister Yun, the police are here. We need to handle something here. It's best to talk with Mr. Zhou later."

The road walked over at this time and said softly.

The ripples came back, and I saw that the entire banquet hall was empty. Apparently, Leo and his crew had dispersed all the guests, and only Road returned with just his weapons packed away. These things should not have been here in the first place.

"I understand! Let's get Mr. Zhou out first. He was frightened, so his face isn't looking too good."

Liàn Yī only then retracted her hand, giving Zhōu Zǐjué a chance to catch his breath.

Malou unceremoniously dragged Zhou Zijue away, to another smaller banquet hall which had temporarily become a place for guests to soothe their shaken spirits.

Let's go!

Gong Fan walked beside the ripples, and said with an unchanged face.

Only ripples remained, tiny heads bobbing, as the last guest stepped out of the ruined banquet hall.

After receiving the police report, they initially thought it was a common case of falling debris causing injuries. They arrived at almost the same time as the ambulance. When they started investigating the Cloud Yi Group building, they realized that the situation was far more serious than they had anticipated. This was clearly a premeditated murder, considering the fresh bullet holes in the banquet hall.

The next day, news broke that Yunyi Group's new CEO, Yunyi, was allegedly attacked at a banquet held the night of the renaming ceremony.

The Yun Yi Group's Public Relations department had phone calls nonstop all day. The public relations manager drafted three directions for a PR strategy at the fastest speed and then went to see the CEO personally.

"Tomorrow, you hold a press conference to give an official explanation. I'll make an appearance to shift public attention back to the group's products. You can handle the rest."

Ripples concisely and efficiently sketched out a PR plan and handed it directly to the PR manager.

"Okay, I will send you the press conference time earlier."

After the PR manager left, Gong Fan walked in and said to Lianyi:

The killer's body has been taken away. This time it wasn't the Zhou family who did it, there must be someone else.

"Besides, about the lipstick you gave me, I checked it. The problem is with the lipstick itself. There's a kind of slow-acting poison inside. If you use it more than three times, your body will gradually weaken. After half a month, you'll lose consciousness."

It seems the people behind the scenes have already begun laying the groundwork for Zhen Yunyi's return.

Liàn yī swayed casually on the boss's chair and spoke.

"This assassination attempt is meant to muddy the waters and restrict your movements."

Gong Fan analyzed.

"Or perhaps urging me to speed up the absorption of the Zhou family."for some lively conversation.”Even the ripples laughed."Good! Wu Zhiqing is still the most insightful one! I'll make sure to pass on your message."After Cao's mother finished speaking, she quickly too...
