CHAPTER 248: 248: THERE REALLY IS NO EVIDENCE LEFT

This sentence is simply a heavenly sound to Tie San; there are no words more pleasing to him than this...

He was extremely excited, as if seeing hope once again. He eagerly responded, "Alright, Miss Xue Tong, this matter will absolutely not spread, rest assured..."

After speaking, Tie San was unwilling to delay any further. He acted swiftly, giving Gu Tong no chance to regret it.

The bandits also had vehicles. Tie San, in his position, even had his own sedan. He drove it over immediately. Even if he had to operate it with one hand, he was determined to go with Gu Tong to Huang Shou’s house!

Gu Tong’s mouth twitched as she glanced at Tie San, who was looking obsequious, and said, "It’s better if I drive!"

Operating a vehicle with one hand, it’s hard to avoid accidents, especially since the mountain road was bumpy. She didn’t want to put her safety in someone else’s hands.

"You know how to drive..." Tie San was instinctively surprised, but without hesitation, he got out of the car and took the passenger seat.

In ’91, it was very rare for women to know how to drive; encountering one on the street was extremely unlikely.

Gu Tong pressed her lips together but said nothing, instead getting into the car as if it was the most natural thing to do. The car was a manual, a bit complicated to operate, but that couldn’t stop her.

After all, in her past life, she often drove vehicles on missions. No matter what the car was, as long as it had fuel and was functional, she could drive it away successfully.

"Can they catch the Devil King?"

After the vehicle started, this was Gu Tong’s first question. She was not afraid of arousing Tie San’s suspicion because at this point, anything she asked was reasonable.

"Definitely not a problem."

Tie San answered categorically, with an air of confidence, "The Devil King is just a trainee. He surely has a compassionate heart, and the safety of these mountain villagers would be his first concern. But Chuan Er has bombs, and he doesn’t care about the villagers’ lives. If you really push him, he’ll blow up the mountain!"

"As long as the Devil King cares a bit about these villagers, he will inevitably be captured by Chuan Er again; it’s bound to happen!"

Bomb...

A chill ran through Gu Tong’s heart. Earlier she had inquired with Huang Shou, but it was all about Master Wu. Time was pressing, and she hadn’t delved into specifics, so naturally, she didn’t know!

"Is he not afraid of blowing himself up?" she asked nonchalantly.

"Of course he is, but the bomb is also Chuan Er’s life-saving treasure. He absolutely won’t use it unless it’s a matter of life and death, let alone the fact that he wants to go back alive."

Tie San pursed his lips disdainfully, "The Devil King is different. He certainly can’t let such a danger happen! If all the villagers in the mountain died, he would be deeply sinful."

Gu Tong gripped the steering wheel tightly, her fingertips turning a little white, but her expression didn’t betray her, making it hard to read her emotions—

Listening to the bandits scheming against Li Yan like this made her extremely uncomfortable!

Of course, this wasn’t the scariest part. What she dreaded most was that their so-called leverage happened to be Li Yan’s Achilles’ heel! He could sacrifice for the country and the people, so naturally, he could compromise as well.

"But the Devil King underestimates Chuan Er too much. If Chuan Er leaves the mountain, he will definitely blow up the mountain too. He can’t leave his criminal evidence, can he? Without these pieces of evidence, he can’t be convicted. By then, there will be nothing to do with him."

Neither selling nor manufacturing, Chuan Er was not involved, nor was there any direct evidence to convict him. If the Devil King were to die in the mountains, it would be word against word, and there would truly be no evidence.
