The following two days, Han Lang accompanied Han Kang and Ma Long, desperately cultivating while patiently waiting for their breakthroughs.
Meanwhile,
In the Wang family villa, Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng were comfortably seated on the living room sofa, chatting and laughing with Dr. Sim.
Suddenly, Gou Feng, accompanied by Gou Xingzhi and Gou Tuizhi, hurried over.
Upon seeing the three, Gou Feng immediately knelt down with a thud, "Brother Wang, Brother Jin, Doctor! I am guilty, punish me!"
The others, not understanding, asked in confusion, "Brother Gou, what's wrong? What happened again?"
Gou Feng looked up, tears streaming down his face, and said with self-reproach, "Brother Ge'er has fallen!"
"Boom!"
This statement struck their hearts like a bolt from the blue.
Wang Shan couldn't believe it and asked emphatically, "What did you say? How could Ge'er fall when he was fine?"
Jin Chunfeng also completely disbelieved, "How is that possible? Your club could let Brother Ge'er fall? Stop joking!"
Dr. Sim even chuckled, "Heh heh, this is too funny! Ge'er is the most perfect A-class esper from my hands. Do you think those seductive vixens in your club are worthy of making Ge'er fall? Haha..."
"No!"
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Gou Feng quickly explained everything about his request for Ge'er to help kill Han Lang.
Wang Shan and the other two's expressions changed drastically after hearing this!
"Damn it!" Jin Chunfeng couldn't suppress his anger and kicked Gou Feng over, cursing, "I told you long ago that you must follow my and Brother Wang's instructions when using espers. Did you take my words as wind?"
He then kicked Gou Feng fiercely in the abdomen twice.
Before Gou Feng could recover, Dr. Sim, still furious, walked over, grabbed Gou Feng by the collar, straddled him, and slapped him hard several times.
He cursed as he hit him.
"You bastard! Do you know how much effort I spent to modify a perfect A-class esper? With your casual words, you not only ruined years of my hard work but also made me lose a subject for tracking and research. How will you compensate me for such a loss!"
Saying this, he raised his hand higher.
"That's enough, Doctor!"
Just then, Wang Shan slowly stood up and stopped the panting Dr. Sim.
Gou Feng thought Wang Shan was going to intercede for him. He struggled to prop himself up, crawled to Wang Shan on his knees, and apologized vaguely.
"I'm sorry, Brother Wang! I really didn't expect Han Lang's strength to be so great that even Brother Ge'er couldn't defeat him! Forgive me, please?"
Wang Shan bent down, helped Gou Feng up with force, straightened his clothes with a slight smile, and said.
"Don't be silly, Brother Gou! Do you know the value of an A-class esper? Do you think I would forgive you?"
After speaking, his eyes turned cold, and he picked up the glass ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it on Gou Feng's head.
Then, without even looking at the unconscious Gou Feng, he turned and said, "Throw him out and sink him in the river!"
Gou Tuizhi and Gou Xingzhi were greatly alarmed by these words.
Although Gou Feng had repeatedly instructed them before coming that they were mainly here to apologize and to endure whatever happened to avoid angering Wang Shan and Master Jin, they could only stand by and watch helplessly as Wang Shan and the others beat Gou Feng so severely, not daring to say anything more.
But now, Wang Shan wanted to sink Gou Feng in the river!
As sons and brothers, how could they watch their own family die before their eyes like this?
Therefore, disregarding whether Wang Shan and the others would be angered further, they immediately knelt before Wang Shan together and begged tearfully.
"No! Uncle Wang. Please, give us another chance, okay? We promise to make up for our mistakes!"
But at this moment, Wang Shan didn't even spare a glance at Gou Tuizhi and Gou Xingzhi.
He snorted coldly and kicked the two away, "Do you two think you're worthy of begging for him? If it weren't for the friendship of so many years, I would have sunk you both in the river long ago!"
Jin Chunfeng also chimed in, "Exactly! Acting without authorization and causing the death of an A-class esper, exposing the target! Ten deaths wouldn't be enough. What are you two? Worthy of making up for your mistakes?"
Seeing that Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng's attitudes were so firm, Gou Tuizhi became anxious. He quickly crawled over on his knees again and said anxiously.
"No, no. Master Jin, Uncle Wang, our Gou family still has some value! As long as you two are willing to spare my father, I am willing to hand over the entire Gou family! If that's not enough, I'll be your lackey. Whatever you need, I'll take the blame and die for you. Please, give my father a chance!"
Hearing this, Wang Shan's heart suddenly tightened.
Although Gou Tuizhi's tearful appearance did not move him, the words "take the blame and die" made him completely sober up from his anger.
Wasn't the original purpose of grandly helping Gou Feng build the esper base because he was worried that if the esper matter was exposed one day, he could be used as a scapegoat to appease the Special Investigation Bureau of Cultivators?
If Gou Feng were truly sunk in the river now, wouldn't his base become the primary target if the Special Investigation Bureau followed the clues?
Thinking of this, his expression softened slightly.
However, before he could speak, Jin Chunfeng violently kicked Gou Tuizhi over again.
"Your father really gave you a fitting name! Gou Tuizhi, dog's leg! Do you think Brother Wang and I lack useless lackeys like you? And you want to take the blame for us, are you worthy?"
He then spat on Gou Tuizhi.
Gou Tuizhi dodged while looking powerlessly at Jin Chunfeng. He really couldn't figure out what convincing bargaining chips his humble Gou family could offer to save Gou Feng's life in front of the Wang family, who were like royalty, and Master Jin, who was comparable to royalty!
Just as he was about to despair, Wang Shan's expression changed. He kindly stopped Jin Chunfeng and stepped forward to help Gou Tuizhi up, saying.
"Hey, Brother Jin! No matter how wrong this is, it's Gou Feng's fault. In the final analysis, Nephew Tuizhi was also unaware! Moreover, the matter has already happened, and Mr. Ge'er is gone forever. We've hit him, we've scolded him, and our anger should have subsided!"
Saying this, he winked at Jin Chunfeng with his back to Gou Tuizhi, then turned back to Gou Tuizhi and continued.
"However, Nephew, your father's mistake is indeed too great. By rights, he should die today. But since you, Nephew, have pleaded for his life, I can spare him! However, you must promise me two conditions!"
