Chapter 1327 Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences
"Haha, I advise you to just surrender! Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers in the end!"
Seeing Sun Wukong in a slump, Gu Xing immediately became smug.
He felt no shame whatsoever for being surrounded by several people attacking Sun Wukong.
Aside from the exhilarating feeling of about to defeat the enemy, he felt nothing else.
Little did they know, Sun Wukong was only pretending from the very beginning.
After all, there's such a good excuse right here.
It would be such a waste not to make good use of it.
Upon realizing this, Sun Wukong immediately put on a pained expression.
At this moment, he seemed to be so entangled with these few henchmen that he was unable to spare any attention for Liang Lu, who was being controlled.
He could only watch helplessly as Lianglu was taken away by the enemy.
"Mission successfully completed, we'll meet again in the future!"
Gu Xing patted Liang Lu's cheek, smiling as he stared at Sun Wukong, who was gritting his teeth, without a trace of doubt.
After saying that, Gu Xing took Liang Lu and left.
This is to avoid any unforeseen complications that might arise during the extended period.
At the same time, he did not forget to have his men capture Sun Wukong as much as possible.
It's fair to say that this victory made him a little too cocky.
It made him realize that Sun Wukong was nothing special.
Perhaps his own subordinates could actually keep Sun Wukong here?
Sun Wukong, who was looked down upon, did not care about Gu Xing's contemptuous attitude.
Rather, this actually makes his actions more advantageous.
He pretended to be unable to cope.
But actually, after a few rounds...
Sun Wukong had long since figured out the moves and techniques of these henchmen.
He quickly slipped away as soon as Gu Xing left.
Then, they secretly followed Gu Xing to visit the lair of those masked men.
They had no idea what Sun Wukong was thinking.
After leaving, Gu Xing rushed to the agreed location.
He needed to get rid of Lianglu in his hands as soon as possible and hand it over to the masked people.
Upon witnessing this scene, Sun Wukong proceeded according to the original plan.
Thus, these confidants of Gu Xing, who were addicted to the drug, belatedly realized that something terrible was about to happen.
Sun Wukong, who had just been being overwhelmed by them, had somehow disappeared without a trace.
"What are we going to do? The person has disappeared... If the president starts asking questions, we're probably in big trouble..."
One of his trusted confidants murmured a question.
But soon after, someone else tried to comfort them.
"What are you afraid of? We don't know anything. Let's just find a place to sit down!"
"Anyway, the president isn't here, so we don't need to risk our lives like that."
This view was unanimously accepted by others.
Before long, these trusted men of the ancient trade found a decent-looking shop to rest in.
Anyway, if Gu Xing presses for details, just say they are still fighting hard.
If you're so capable, Gu Xing, come and see for yourself!
However, such important figures are extremely busy, and it's unlikely they'd have much time to return here to monitor their actions.
Meanwhile, Gu Xing's trusted men were comfortably slacking off.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had already turned into a wisp of green smoke and was clinging to Liang Lu's robe.
Because the green smoke that Sun Wukong transformed into was colorless and odorless, it was not easy to detect any clues.
And so, Gu Xing, carrying his mission objective, arrived at the place where he frequently interacted with the masked people.
The handover was conducted by knocking on the pre-arranged code, and the previously closed door suddenly opened.
Gu Xing confirmed that no one was following him before he stepped inside with peace of mind.
……
"My lord, I have already captured the whistleblower, and he is already mature enough that no further methods of accelerating his growth are needed."
Gu Xing first bowed to the empty room, and then explained his purpose.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a strong urge to complain.
But he still remembered that this situation was not suitable for him to rant without restraint.
Therefore, he could only suppress his thoughts and honestly minimize his presence to prevent the plan from failing.
A few seconds later, the masked man appeared in the previously empty room.
"Not bad, you've finally proven yourself useful. All our efforts in nurturing you haven't been in vain!"
The masked man who came to make the handover praised Gu Xing with a smile.
After all, this person's reputation as a good-for-nothing was already deeply ingrained in people's minds.
It's already quite good that Gu Xing was able to bring the person back successfully.
They really shouldn't have asked for more.
Although Gu Xing felt uncomfortable about being praised, he did not show it.
His face still wore that obsequious expression, and he kept saying he dared not.
The masked man chuckled, both pleased with this man's lackey and secretly looking down on him.
In his view, Gu Xing was also spineless, lacking any dignity as a strong person.
Gu Xing, however, seemed completely oblivious to the masked man's implied disdain.
He couldn't wait to hand over Lianglu, whom he was controlling, to the person in front of him.
"My lord, I'll leave this fellow to you! I still have to deal with those who know the truth, so please excuse me from accompanying you."
After saying this, Gu Xing got up to take his leave.
The masked man frowned upon hearing this.
"Didn't you eliminate the insiders before handing over the work?" he asked Gu Xing in disbelief.
If someone in the know were to find this place, that would be terrible.
"Well... my subordinates are currently doing their utmost to wipe out the enemy, so you don't need to worry so much."
Hearing the masked man's tone and expression, Gu Xing couldn't help but speak up, reminding him that there was no need to make such a fuss.
They are masked people, wearing masks so that no one can see their facial expressions.
Otherwise, Gu Xing would have seen the rich expressions hidden beneath the mask, and thus felt disillusioned with the masked man's image.
The masked man had only one thought in his mind at that moment: he wanted to take back his previous praise of Gu Xing.
Gu Xing was truly more trouble than he was worth.
How could I forget something I've been repeatedly told to do?
If the enemy were to catch them off guard and come looking for them, they would be in big trouble.
"Then, who is the person in the know?" The masked man suppressed his impatience and continued to press for answers.
Gu Xing didn't hesitate this time and directly said Sun Wukong's name.
Not only that, he also boldly expressed his speculation.
"...Based on our speculation, the theft of the list may also be closely related to this person!"
What a coincidence.
Previously, Sun Wukong and his companions had joined the Snowdrift Guild.
Or perhaps it's now, that Sun Wukong has come into contact with Liang Lu, the owner of the [Life and Death Contract].
There is an old saying that goes like this.
Too many coincidences.
So, no matter how coincidental it may seem.
These are no longer coincidences, but inevitabilities.
