Chapter 271 Wait For Me To Take His Life

 

The gunshot rang out, and everyone was stunned!

At that moment, time seemed to stand still!

Su Rui raised his hand and fired a shot, and everyone clearly saw the gun pointing directly at Jiang Qingyuan’s head!

When the gunshot sounded, Jiang Tiancang felt a soul-leaving terror!

This was his most beloved daughter, and Su Rui just shot her dead like that?

Madman, he truly was a madman, a hopeless madman!

Su Rui had already ruined his grandson, did he now want to destroy his entire family?

“Qingyuan, Qingyuan, Qingyuan…” Jiang Tiancang shook his daughter in anguish, but discovered that her eyes weren’t lifeless!

Jiang Qingyuan still maintained her fallen posture, but felt her body was no longer under her control! Cold sweat rapidly emerged from her forehead!

At the moment Su Rui fired, she truly smelled death. She really thought she was about to die!

When the muzzle flash appeared, her soul fled! All her previous composure completely vanished!

“Am I dead?”

Jiang Qingyuan murmured, her gaze blank.

Then, her carefully arranged hair came undone!

The beautiful hair scattered on her shoulders seemed to foretell her gradually fading youth that could never return.

A burning hot sensation spread from the top of her head. Jiang Qingyuan frowned, finally able to confirm that she wasn’t dead.

Su Rui’s bullet hadn’t hit her head, but her hair bun!

Whew!

Seeing that Jiang Qingyuan wasn’t dead, the dignitaries in the hall collectively let out a sigh of relief!

The scene just now was truly heart-stopping! Su Rui was a genuine madman!

The special forces soldiers nearby were also quite shocked. Even though they were hardened warriors who could fire a gun as easily as pointing a finger, they were still amazed by Su Rui’s marksmanship!

Because they clearly saw that when Su Rui fired, he didn’t aim at all!

He just raised his hand and pulled the trigger!

If the gun barrel had deviated even slightly when the bullet was fired, it would have gone through her skull instead of her hair bun!

If Su Rui’s hand had trembled even slightly, then this so-called Goddess Qingyuan would already be a corpse!

“Jiang Qingyuan, I spare your life today, but if I ever hear you say such outrageous things again, the result won’t be the same.”

Su Rui’s words were cold, his tone as frigid as ice!

Jiang Qingyuan’s legs went weak, she couldn’t stand up at all. She realized that her years of pride had been completely shattered by Su Rui!

Jiang Tiancang roared: “Su Rui, can’t you stop? You’ve already destroyed half of the Jiang family’s future, what more do you want? Do you have to annihilate the Jiang family before you’ll stop?”

Su Rui stared at the howling old man and said coldly: “If even now you still can’t recognize the truth about what happened five years ago, and still think Jiang Yigang didn’t deserve his punishment, then I wouldn’t mind truly annihilating the Jiang family.”

A tangible aura of dominance radiated from Su Rui with his words! At this moment, no one doubted Su Rui’s determination!

They also knew that from this day forward, Jiang Yigang and the other four young masters would never be able to hold their heads high again! If anyone had previously felt sympathy for their plight, these five beasts would henceforth receive nothing but contempt!

“People who are worse than beasts should be treated with methods worse than those used on beasts.”

Su Rui gazed into Jiang Tiancang’s eyes and said calmly: “You’d better make sure Jiang Yigang lives well and lives long. If he has any more unruly thoughts, I will personally visit the Jiang family and take his head with my own hands!”

At this moment, facing the aura emanating from Su Rui, although Jiang Tiancang was filled with hatred, he was powerless to retort!

“Bailu, help Qingyuan up, we’re leaving!”

Jiang Tiancang angrily flicked his sleeve, glared at Su Rui, then led the way out of the hall!

However, he looked more like he was fleeing with his tail between his legs!

Jiang Qingyuan was helped up and adjusted her dress, that glimpse of spring vanishing from Su Rui’s sight.

Supported by Jiang Bailu, she gave Su Rui a deep look as she passed by him.

“Remember my words,” Su Rui said calmly.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyuan, with her hair now loose, had a certain charm about her. Though she lacked her usual dignified air, she gained a touch of earthiness.

She made no response, just looked at Su Rui once more before turning away.

Watching the Jiang family leave, Qin Zhizhang had no reaction, not even bothering with a hypocritical attempt to make them stay. Though this old man was a sly fox, his character was still quite direct in certain aspects.

Since they would be enemies from now on, there was no need for pretense! In this regard, Qin Zhizhang was far more decisive than other old fellows!

…

Sitting in the car, Jiang Tiancang’s anger had not subsided: “That damned Su Rui, I don’t go looking for trouble with him, yet he becomes so aggressive!”

Jiang Bailu was equally furious: “Yes, and he almost… I shudder to think about it! If his hand had trembled, the consequences would have been unimaginable! I must fight him to the death!”

Jiang Qingyuan curled up in her seat, keeping her eyes closed, looking extremely tired: “He was never going to kill me.”

Jiang Bailu was stunned: “But his eyes…”

Jiang Bailu wanted to say that Su Rui’s eyes were filled with killing intent, so tangible that it had left him speechless at the time!

Jiang Qingyuan said weakly: “That’s because my words truly stirred his killing intent.”

“He’s just a bastard!” Jiang Bailu pounded the back of the seat: “Crippling Yigang’s legs, breaking Yihe’s arms, and now daring to harbor killing intent toward you! He’s asking for death!”

“Thinking about it now, perhaps he was right,” Jiang Qingyuan’s mind flashed back to Su Rui’s blood-covered eyes filled with killing intent!

Her words shocked both Jiang Tiancang and Jiang Bailu!

“Qingyuan, how can you say that? Jiang Yigang is your nephew! You haven’t been frightened out of your wits by that bastard, have you?” Jiang Bailu said in surprise.

Jiang Tiancang looked at his daughter, saying nothing, as if waiting for her answer.

“Of course not.” Jiang Qingyuan shook her head, her tone increasingly weary: “Third brother, if you still think that way, then you’re the one who’s wrong.”

“I’m wrong?” Jiang Bailu raised an eyebrow.

“I deliberately blocked him today, clearly intending to provoke him. I wanted to see where his bottom line was, to see how crazy he could get.”

Jiang Bailu was even more surprised; his cunning was far inferior to his sister’s, the difference between them vast.

“The facts prove that even at his angriest, Su Rui can still control his emotions. Otherwise, that bullet would have hit my head, not my hair bun.”

Hearing this, Jiang Tiancang became furious!

“Qingyuan, don’t joke with your life again, this is simply reckless! If you had really been shot dead by that bastard, what would we do?”

“Dad, it’s fine, Su Rui wouldn’t kill me. I’ve never offended him. This was a warning, a very serious warning.” Jiang Qingyuan tidied her disheveled hair and said: “From five years ago until now, although he has always seemed impulsive, he absolutely won’t do anything irrational driven by emotion.”

“He killed his way through the five great families, and you call that rational?” Jiang Bailu responded with a cold laugh to his sister’s analysis.

“That’s because he knew it wouldn’t cost him his life, at most his merits would offset his crimes.” Jiang Qingyuan was dissecting Su Rui’s psychology piece by piece. To defeat someone, you must understand them thoroughly, otherwise defeat is inevitable.

“But… at that time he was in a situation where death seemed certain.” Jiang Bailu recalled that the bloodshed that night was still fresh in his memory, and he couldn’t help but shudder.

“Yet he didn’t die, did he?” Jiang Qingyuan seemed to have no interest in arguing with Jiang Bailu. She turned to Jiang Tiancang and said: “Also, Dad, your invitation to the four family heads for lunch that day was discreet, but not unknown. I’m worried the news might leak out and reach Su Rui.”

Jiang Tiancang sneered: “Even if he knows, what can he do? Things are different now compared to five years ago. With the five great families united, how long does he think he can remain free?”

Hearing this, Jiang Bailu suddenly seemed to remember something, his face turning pale: “What if he mobilizes a dozen armed helicopters again to forcibly attack our Jiang family compound?”

Father and daughter, Jiang Tiancang and Jiang Qingyuan, simultaneously sighed helplessly, then closed their eyes, not wanting to deal with this fellow from the bottom of their hearts.

…

“You all go back first, I owe everyone a drink.” Su Rui said to the group of special forces soldiers. Despite not having seen each other for many years, there was still a sense of reluctance to part.

Although they had spent only a little over two months together, they were still comrades-in-arms, and the bond between comrades was genuine.

“But, Brother Rui, we’re not in a hurry to get back this time.”

“You should still go back. Just for this incident, your director will likely face disciplinary action.” Su Rui sighed softly. He kept all these sentiments in his heart.

Hearing this, the soldiers fell silent, clearly realizing the consequences of disciplinary action. Flying twelve “Sky Leopards” over the capital had already been a major risk. Even using the excuse of military exercises wouldn’t cover it up.

“I’ll remember this favor,” Su Rui said very seriously. There were too many words of thanks, but for his brothers, there was no need to say much; just seeing each other’s eyes was enough to understand completely.

“Take care, Brother Rui.”

These special forces soldiers knew what risks their Brother Rui would face. One by one, they came forward to salute him goodbye.

Qin Yuran stood nearby, watching these soldiers salute Su Rui one after another. Her tears could no longer be held back and flowed wildly.

Twelve armed helicopters slowly rose into the air, circled once above the Qin family compound, then formed a formation and flew north, quickly becoming small black dots, like wild geese returning north on the horizon!
