"Traitor!"
The word struck Gou Feng deeply, a glint of cold light involuntarily flashing in the corner of his eye.
But Wang Zizai was truly enraged at this moment.
He grabbed Gou Feng and Ge Er by their clothes and shoved them towards the door.
As he pushed, he cursed, "Get out! Both of you, get out immediately! My Wang family does not welcome traitors who collude with the enemy and sell out the country! If you linger a moment longer, I will immediately report your treasonous dealings!"
Gou Feng frowned at these words, but Ge Er, as if his scales had been touched, reflexively punched Wang Zizai in the chest.
"Pfft!"
Wang Zizai instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Ge Er in disbelief, then at Gou Feng with a gaze full of sorrow, before finally collapsing powerlessly.
"What are you doing?"
Gou Feng stared at Ge Er with wide, confused eyes, then quickly bent down to check Wang Zizai's vital signs.
Ge Er, however, acted as if nothing had happened, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said slowly.
"No need to check! An ordinary person cannot withstand my full power strike!"
Gou Feng was even more furious upon hearing this, and immediately roared, "Then why did you attack him?"
Ge Er was also somewhat annoyed. He replied coldly, "Mr. Gou, please watch your words. Don't forget, you were the one who enthusiastically invited me here! Besides, didn't you just hear him say he was going to report us? If the Doctor finds out about this, let alone your hope of building the esper base, your own life might be in danger!"
Gou Feng's body trembled slightly at these words.
He had indeed been so anxious about Wang Zizai's death that he had forgotten Ge Er's identity.
Now, with Ge Er's reminder, he finally came to his senses and quickly smiled obsequiously at Ge Er.
"Brother Ge Er, please don't be angry! I was just in a moment of urgency. After all, you accidentally killed my brother of many years. So my words were a bit harsh, please don't take it to heart!"
Ge Er raised his head proudly upon hearing this, but his heart was also filled with self-reproach and regret.
Regardless of whether Wang Zizai's words at the time were just an outburst of anger.
Even if they weren't, directly striking and killing him was indeed a bit rash.
He was new to the Doctor's side and should have been low-key everywhere, carefully guarding against the Xia Nation's Special Investigation Bureau. Yet now, due to a moment of impulse, he had caused a death.
If this were discovered, wouldn't it easily expose them?
Thinking of this, his eyes darted around, and he said to Gou Feng, half-threateningly and half-comfortingly, "Brother Gou Feng, I was indeed impulsive about this. However, if it weren't for trying to secure sponsorship for you, this wouldn't have happened! Now that things have come to this, there's no point in blaming each other. It's better to think carefully about how to proceed!"
Gou Feng was also full of worry.
After all, a life had been lost. To escape unscathed, they could only try to deceive heaven and earth.
However, the Wang family was one of the eight major families of Lecheng. How could they do this seamlessly?
After a long period of thought, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Gou Feng's eyes.
"The only way now is to go all the way!"
Gou Feng finished speaking and looked directly at Ge Er, asking, "Brother Ge Er, if I build my esper base right here in the Wang family mansion, would that be feasible?"
Ge Er surveyed the vast Wang family villa and nodded affirmatively, "It shouldn't be a problem to renovate it! However, this is in the city after all. Defense and security measures must be in place. At least no one should be able to approach easily!"
"Yes!" Gou Feng agreed. "Please rest assured about this. Once the base is built, I will definitely arrange for heavy guard. However, the immediate priority is to control all other members of the Wang family. Mr. Ge Er, I will need your help with this. No need for heavy-handedness, just bring them back as quickly as possible!"
Ge Er said, "I understand what you mean. Killing them would make people more suspicious, but controlling them allows us to coerce them into cooperating and creating a false appearance that everything is normal with the Wang family!"
Gou Feng nodded. "Exactly! I'll arrange for people to take over the Wang family's industries while also sending people to guard the Wang family's secrets. Mr. Ge Er, I'll have to trouble you to stay here with me for a while longer!"
Ge Er readily agreed, "No problem!"
Just then,
Wang Fei suddenly appeared from somewhere.
Upon seeing Wang Zizai lying motionless on the ground, and the pool of blood beside his head, Wang Fei was completely stunned.
He quickly ran up and knelt before Wang Zizai's corpse, confirming his suspicions while tearfully calling out.
"Dad, Dad, what happened to you, Dad?"
But no matter how he called, Wang Zizai showed no reaction.
Wang Fei looked at Gou Feng in disbelief. He could never have imagined that his father would be so cruelly murdered by the friend he trusted most!
"Uncle Gou, why is this? Why would you do such a vicious thing to my father?"
Facing Wang Fei's questioning, Gou Feng couldn't help but show a trace of reluctance.
But for his grand plan, and for the safety of the Gou family, he still replied fiercely, "Your father was uncooperative. I kindly invited him to participate in the esper research plan. It was one thing that he didn't appreciate it, but he even wanted to report me and put me to death! If I didn't kill him, my Gou family would be destroyed!"
Although Wang Fei didn't understand what the esper plan was, he understood from Gou Feng's words that it was definitely not something that could be seen in the light of day.
He suppressed his tears with indignation, gritted his teeth, and said to Gou Feng, "I don't care what illicit things you do, but the hatred for my father is irreconcilable. My Wang family will definitely not let this matter rest!"
As he spoke, he reached for his phone to call the police.
Seeing this, Gou Feng lunged forward, snatched his phone, then grabbed him by the neck and sneered mockingly.
"Nephew, you are truly naive! Calling the police in front of the murderer, do you think I would let you succeed?"
As he spoke, he tightened the grip of his fingers.
Wang Fei struggled to breathe, flailing his arms against Gou Feng's, looking at the ferocity in his eyes and feeling the threat of death.
At this moment, he was terrified!
"Spare... spare my life, Uncle... Uncle Gou!"
Whether out of nostalgia for their past relationship or for some other purpose, Gou Feng deliberately held on for a while, allowing Wang Fei to feel the threat of death more realistically, before suddenly releasing his grip.
As if granted amnesty, Wang Fei greedily breathed in the fresh air, his eyes filled with not only hatred but also fear!
Before he could even recover, Gou Feng grabbed his collar again and threatened him fiercely.
"I'm not killing you because you still have value! If you don't want to end up like your dead father, you'd better obey me obediently, otherwise..."
After speaking, Gou Feng gave Ge Er a meaningful glance.
Ge Er understood and immediately punched the ground next to Wang Fei.
"Boom!"
The ground instantly cracked.
Wang Fei was terrified!
If this blow had landed on him, wouldn't he have been pulverized?
Thinking of this, he trembled and replied.
"I'll listen to you, Uncle Gou! Whatever you say, I'll do!"
Gou Feng nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
