The Behind-the-Scenes Killer

When Liu Ziqian slowly woke up, she felt a bit cold and instinctively tightened her clothes. But soon she seemed to realize something and hurriedly looked around, her gaze gradually focusing on a certain man.

"Why did you follow me to hell?"

——————

Mu An was left speechless.

"Do you really want to die that badly? Even if you do, you don't have to curse me to die with you!"

"Look around! We are still alive!"

He was also rendered speechless by Liu Ziqian's silly remarks. If he didn't know that his healing technique could definitely save someone, he would have thought that someone's head still needed healing!

"We're not dead? Those guys actually showed mercy?"

Liu Ziqian still found it hard to believe. She had seen that group of bloodthirsty madmen, each one extremely dangerous, shooting at the slightest disagreement. So, in her subconscious, the two of them were destined to be killed!

"What do you mean they showed mercy? Don't think of me as that useless!"

"I said I would take you out alive, and I naturally keep my word!"

"As for those guys... I took care of them."

Mu An leaned against the wall, rolling his eyes. He stated this fact in an exceptionally calm tone.

"All... taken care of?!"

Liu Ziqian was astonished, her mouth agape, seemingly unwilling to believe it. It sounded like an ordinary person without any power claiming to have taken down a regular army! It had a somewhat magical quality!

[Hearing what you said, Liu Ziqian felt a bit shocked and incredulous, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +2 years]!]

Soon, Liu Ziqian discovered that her injuries had miraculously healed! But why had she suddenly changed into a different outfit...?

Feeling the unusual yet real sensation, she pulled down the zipper of the coat draped over her. Looking inside, she was immediately dumbfounded.

There was actually... nothing inside!

Liu Ziqian: !!!

"What... what did you just do to me?!"

[Thinking you did something to her, Liu Ziqian was almost brought to tears from anger, emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +5000]!]

[From Liu Ziqian's shame and anger emotional fluctuation +21, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +8 years]!]

[Driving Buff Card? Blade Overtaking]: You heard it right! This is the legendary driving skill famous for cornering like a drainage ditch! The overtaking technique that once shocked countless people! Now you also have the chance to perform like this!

——————

"Stop complaining! If I hadn't used my unique secret technique to heal you, you would have really gone to hell!"

Mu An said nonchalantly.

"So, your secret technique is to take off a certain young lady's clothes...?"

As she spoke, Liu Ziqian's pretty face began to flush. She hugged her arms, looking at him with a face full of shame and anger.

"Ahem, don't say things that can be misunderstood!"

"You had a bunch of glass shards and shrapnel in you. If I didn't treat you, how would you survive?"

"Besides, in front of a doctor, men and women are equal!"

"You should think positively; at least you survived successfully, right?!"

Mu An cleared his throat. He wouldn't admit that he had resorted to such a tactic (brilliant plan) just to better harvest her emotional rewards!

This is the professional operation of a villain!

Sure enough.

[From Liu Ziqian's shame and anger emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]

[From Liu Ziqian's awkward emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +5 million]!]

[From Liu Ziqian's grateful emotional fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Plot Fragment *1]!]

.....

Liu Ziqian was not someone without a brain. She also knew how serious her previous injuries were, and now being able to live well was all thanks to him! The reasoning was correct, no doubt!

But when she thought about being seen completely, she felt somewhat concerned in her heart. Her feelings were quite complicated, and she couldn't sort out her emotions for a moment. After a long while, Liu Ziqian let out a soft sigh.

"Forget it! Surviving after such an injury is already a gain for me!"

After trying a bit, she successfully stood up. She also zipped up the jacket she was wearing all the way to the top, instantly covering her delicate collarbone and fair skin completely! Of course, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Mu An.

"Where are those guys now?"

"They're all lying over there!"

Mu An casually pointed. After enjoying a 'emotional reward' from the other party, he was in a good mood. Liu Ziqian didn't hesitate and walked over immediately.

Soon, she discovered the fox man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head. Such precise marksmanship... it shouldn't be simple! She couldn't help but glance at Mu An again. This man was truly mysterious, making one curious! First, there were his enigmatic stealing techniques, and then his miraculous healing skills?

Thinking about it, compared to the first two, having decent marksmanship was actually quite normal!

[Shock emotion fluctuation from Liu Ziqian +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +6 million]!]

Mu An wasn't interested in responding to her shocked expression. He used the [Plot Fragment*1] he had just obtained.

[Using [Plot Fragment*1]!]

[[Plot Fragment*1] used successfully! This is new protagonist information related to Liu Ziqian!]

——————

Name: Ye Zifeng

Fortune: 20000

Golden Finger: Heart of Slaughter

(The more people he kills, the stronger he becomes! But there are side effects; his personality will gradually become furious and bloodthirsty!)

Basic Information: He and Liu Ziqian are childhood sweethearts, both graduated from the police academy!

But a failed undercover mission led everyone to believe he was dead!

In fact, he did not die; after betraying the police department and leaking secrets, he successfully rose to power and married the daughter of a gang leader!

This ambush at the police dock was planned by him!

——————

Oh? Things seem to be getting interesting!

Shock! The behind-the-scenes murderer is actually her childhood sweetheart?!

I wonder how Liu Ziqian will react when she learns the truth?

Will this gold mine of hers explode with gold coins?

Mu An's lips curled slightly.

"How could it be him?"

At this moment, Liu Ziqian had already lifted the fox man's mask. Upon seeing that familiar middle-aged face, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

"You know him?"

Mu An asked curiously.

Liu Ziqian nodded with a complex expression.

"He was one of the undercover agents sent by our police! He was also my senior!"

"I didn't expect our last meeting would be under such circumstances!"

As she spoke, she suddenly gritted her teeth, as if she had figured something out.

"I wondered why there were so many unexpected events during this capture operation."

"It turns out the guy providing us with information betrayed us! Damn it! Truly damn it!"

"Why did you betray us? Do you know how many people died because of you this time?!"

Liu Ziqian vented her anger towards the fox man.

But unfortunately, he had already turned into a cold corpse and could no longer respond to her!

"Life is unpredictable; in the face of interests, people's hearts are always fickle. Who knows what the future holds?"

Mu An said meaningfully.

He was already eager for Liu Ziqian to know that her childhood sweetheart was not dead and was actually the mastermind behind this incident. Perhaps this gold mine would explode right on the spot?

Of course, it wasn't the right time to say this yet. To maximize the gold coins from her, he needed to wait for the right moment.

Beep beep~~

At this moment, the sound of police sirens could be heard outside.

Clearly, the reinforcements had arrived.

After some conversation, Liu Ziqian's expression became even worse.

In this dock ambush incident, their police force had sacrificed fifteen members.

The cause of death was mainly due to the sudden explosion!

They failed to capture the drug dealer and instead caused so many casualties; anyone would feel heavy-hearted in such a situation!

"Captain Liu, your marksmanship has improved!"

"Those masked criminals outside were all shot dead by you; even those hiding behind cover couldn't escape!"

"Such inhumane scum, they deserve to die!"

A young police officer spat on the ground, feeling indignant.

Liu Ziqian unexpectedly glanced at Mu An and nodded in acknowledgment.

The people who took down those criminals outside were certainly not her!

However, to prevent Mu An from getting into trouble later, she hesitated for a moment before choosing to do so.

[Hearing that the criminals have been killed, Liu Ziqian felt a surge of anger, and your favorability increased, emotion fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]

[From Liu Ziqian's sad emotion fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Blue Star Song? Great Compassion Mantra]!]

[Liu Ziqian was surprised by your marksmanship, emotion fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Driving Buff: Invincible]!]

——————

[Driving Buff: Invincible]: Any vehicle you drive automatically becomes invincible!

It won't be destroyed by any attack! As long as the speed is sufficient, crashing through a tank is not a problem!

Duration: One hour!

——————

Mu An shrugged indifferently.

If he admitted it was him, it would indeed be hard to explain his marksmanship.

He couldn't just fool people by saying he learned marksmanship while vacationing in Hawaii like some detective, could he?

After wrapping up the situation here, Mu An drove Liu Ziqian home.

She remained silent the entire way, seemingly still immersed in the sadness from earlier.

"All officers please pay attention! All officers please pay attention!"

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the criminals' vehicle has broken through our encirclement, and we urgently need support!"

"Repeating, we urgently need support!"

"The target vehicle is near Qiuming Mountain!"

Upon hearing this news, Liu Ziqian's pretty face immediately turned serious.

She thought the drug dealer who fled in a car had already been caught, but she didn't expect the other party to be outrageous enough to escape the encirclement?

"It seems I need to requisition your vehicle temporarily!"

"Going to Qiuming Mountain? If I can help you catch up to them, what kind of reward can you offer?"

"Let's catch up first! At worst, I'll reward you later, that should be fine, right?"

"That sounds like a decent reward! Then... hold on tight!"

Mu An's lips curled slightly, which could be considered as agreeing to the condition.

After all, seeing so many police officers sacrifice themselves had touched him to some extent.

The sports car, under his control, made a stylish drift and changed direction.

The speed instantly increased by more than one gear!

Roaring, it charged into the distance!

"Driving this fast on the city road is asking for death!"

A certain frightened reporter was furious.

Especially when he saw that the other party was driving a sports car, his envy of the rich surged, and he took out his camera to snap a flurry of photos of the car's back!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, planning to angrily criticize the rich second generation for racing in the city, disregarding the safety of ordinary citizens in the news!

Of course, Mu An and the others were completely unaware of these matters.

.....

On the other side.

Long Haotian had a dark expression, like a pot bottom.

What lay before him was the piece of lightning-struck jujube wood that he had spent five million to acquire!

The key issue now was that he had tried every possible method but could not absorb the mysterious aura within it!

He was just short of grinding this thing into sawdust and mixing it with water to drink!

Could it be that his cultivation method was misreading it?

Was this thing actually useless?

Could it really not help him improve his strength and realm?!

Doesn't that mean he wasted five million for nothing!?

Such a significant loss, who could bear it!

Anyway, Long Haotian felt he couldn't bear it!

At this moment, he felt like a fool, like he had drawn water with a bamboo basket, ending up empty-handed!

Dingling~

The phone rang.

Long Haotian answered it casually.

His tone was not good, even quite irritable.

"Hello, is this Brother Long? It's Lin Tu!"

"I have news about the person you asked me to find! But to meet them, you need to break the racing record at Qiuming Mountain!"

"I don't know if you're interested in coming to try? I heard that there will be a considerable monetary reward after breaking the record!"

"At least three million or more!"

Originally, Long Haotian was not in a good mood.

But upon hearing this, he instantly perked up.

According to what the other party said, as long as he broke the racing record.

Not only could he meet the person he wanted to see, but he could also earn a handsome reward!

This was practically a free gift for him!

In terms of driving skills, as the Dragon King, Long Haotian had never bowed to anyone!

Breaking some Qiuming Mountain record was just a simple task for him, easily within reach!

Thinking of this, he revealed his signature checkmark smile.

It seemed as if the space before him was about to bow down in submission.

It even seemed to twist uncontrollably!

"Hahaha, isn't it just some Qiuming Mountain record?"

"I can break it in a minute! Just sit back and watch my performance (show-off)!"

Long Haotian was full of confidence.
