Chapter 495 Shot

Chapter 495: Shot

"Well! You heartless bastard, how dare you show up here? Ugh! No shame at all!"

No one expected Wu Yanhua's next words to be a direct outburst of insults.

Fu Dajun was also stunned and hurriedly whispered to Wu Yanhua, "Honey, easy with the language."

The man before them clearly had no love for his youngest son. If he really decided to kill their entire family, they wouldn't even get a fair hearing.

Fu Dajun's fear wasn't baseless.

When his savior had rescued him in the past, he had witnessed people treating lives like dirt, showing no regard for ordinary folks' lives.

Without his savior's help back then, Fu Dajun felt he would never have made it back alive.

Looking at the tough, muscular guys standing by the cars, it was obvious they were all trained fighters.

They could take down our whole family without breaking a sweat.

And—as for whether they were carrying guns, Fu Dajun was sure of it.

"Back off! You’re afraid of death, but I’m not! I’ve lived plenty already, and there’s nothing I don’t dare say." Wu Yanhua pushed Fu Dajun away and sneered.

She didn’t know where her courage came from at that moment, but she simply couldn't stomach the unfairness done to her youngest son and daughter-in-law.

The man before her looked so much like her youngest son—he must have guessed something. Yet, he allowed others to insult her daughter-in-law. She wasn't about to let that go.

"Heartless scoundrel?" Gu Yanzhi spoke up, his tone sounding genuinely confused.

"Aren’t you? What a heartless scoundrel! I heard you’re even a soldier? Keeping your mistress’s courtyard right next to your lawful wife’s—do you think you’re something special?" Wu Yanhua laid into him with three rapid-fire questions.

Fang Zhigang, who had just been helped to his feet, took offense. Mistress? Was she talking about his sister?

For so many years, no one had ever dared insult his sister like this.

How could their Fang family be insulted by some nobody from the village?

"Shut your trap, you hag! Who are you calling a mistress? My sister was brought into the family the right way by my brother-in-law! Believe me, I’ll shoot you dead!"

As he spoke, Fang Zhigang reached into his pocket to pull out his piece.

Su He had been keeping an eye on him all along—there was no way these guys didn't have guns.

So the moment he moved, Su He quickly stepped forward and kicked his hand. But because of the distance, she wasn’t fast enough, and he still got a shot off.

However, because Su He had kicked his hand, Fang Zhigang’s shot went wild.

The bullet meant for Wu Yanhua accidentally struck—Gu Yanzhi.

This was something no one had expected.

In an instant, the soldiers who had been standing guard to protect Gu Yanzhi all pulled their guns, aiming at everyone on the scene.

"Hold your fire!"

Gu Yanzhi crouched down in pain.

Since Su He’s kick had been intended to knock the gun out of Fang Zhigang’s hand, the weapon had shifted downward. The bullet struck Gu Yanzhi in the thigh—not life-threatening.

However, it is still quite troublesome for a general to be shot in the thigh.

Moreover, such old wounds are difficult to recover from.

Su He had already pinned Fang Zhigang down, her foot firmly planted on his head, leaving him unable to move.

"Lady, we advise you not to move right now!" someone shouted at Su He.

But Su He seemed completely unafraid, sneering coldly as she replied, "The one you should be advising is him. As a soldier who protects the nation, being allowed to carry a gun is an honor. His gun should be aimed at enemies, not ordinary civilians. Just because a few words didn’t sit well with him, he pulled out a gun—is this the kind of soldiers you are? Do you even deserve to wear that uniform? If I weren’t skilled in martial arts today, someone would have died on the spot, and the guy you’re protecting was hurt by your own man. So, who are you taking orders from—this Fang guy or your general? Your general has been shot, and I don’t see any of you rushing to help him?"

Su He’s words were loaded with sarcasm.

Only then did everyone put their guns away and gather around Gu Yanzhi to protect him.

"General, hang on—I’ll treat your wound right away," someone said.

Among the group, there was someone with some basic medical know-how.

Of course, their expertise was not even close to Fu Tinghua’s—he’s a top-tier doctor.

Fu Tinghua coldly watched Gu Yanzhi, who was sitting on the ground looking pathetic, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

Su He and Fu Tinghua exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other was thinking.

This Fang Zhigang had to go.

He was extremely vindictive and stood opposed to Lan Ruolin.

If he were allowed to return alive, he would undoubtedly send people to seek revenge on the Fu family.
