Chapter 288: Two hundred eighty-seven, mission failed

"Grandfather, rest assured! I’m heading out now," Song Xiran bid farewell to Old Master Song with a bow before turning and leaving Old Master Song’s study. Luckily, he had prepared for the worst beforehand, otherwise, the Song Family would truly be facing a crisis now.

Entering his room, Song Xiran closed the door and made a phone call to give some instructions.

After hanging up, he walked to his bed, sat down cross-legged, and took out an elixir he had obtained from the Yin Corpse Sect, swallowing it. The share meant for himself, he naturally kept. After all, his own strength was key.

He had sparred with Lu Hanmo before and knew that Lu Hanmo’s strength was not inferior to his own. Although he didn’t know how Lu Hanmo had learned to cultivate, he couldn’t let Lu Hanmo continue unchecked for long. That man was too dangerous; a day left unchecked felt like a threat. Therefore, he needed to quickly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, only by then could he take care of Lu Hanmo swiftly.

The time was soon mid-August. After bidding farewell to everyone, Luo Shu boarded a plane bound for Jinchen.

Once off the plane, Luo Shu drove to the small courtyard where Luo Qianyu had previously lived. School hadn’t started yet, so she would stay here temporarily.

After taking a shower, Luo Shu took out a communication talisman. During these days, she and Lu Hanmo had kept in touch with it; this thing was no less convenient than a mobile phone from the future.

"Shushu!" Lu Hanmo’s voice came through from the other side.

"What are you doing?" Luo Shu asked with a smile. Just hearing his voice immediately lifted her spirits.

"I just finished training and am about to head out on a mission," Lu Hanmo spoke with a hint of apology in his voice. He should have accompanied her now that she was in Jinchen, but he had been too busy to find free time recently.

"Then rest for a while and stay safe," Luo Shu softly urged. She understood the nature of his work, and she never insisted that he find time to be with her; just hearing his voice and knowing he was fine and safe was very comforting to her.

"I’ll come to see you when I have time." Hearing the assembly bugle call from outside, Lu Hanmo reluctantly disconnected the communication talisman and stepped outside.

Luo Shu packed away the talisman, prepared a bit, and left with gifts for the Lu family. Since she was in Jinchen, it went without saying that she had to visit the Lu family. And Uncle Li and his wife deserved a visit as well.

Driving towards the suburbs of Jinchen, Luo Shu had just left the city limits when she sensed a dangerous presence.

With an amused smile, she pressed hard on the accelerator, and the car sped forward. They did not carry the aura of True Cultivators, which meant the followers were just ordinary people. It was most likely that crazy woman Song Yuyan’s doing; Luo Shu had barely arrived in Jinchen and she was already impatient.

"She’s running, let’s chase," a man with a sharp chin sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind noticed Luo Shu’s car speeding up and hurriedly said to the chubby man beside him.

The chubby man also noticed Luo Shu’s actions, floored the accelerator, and pursued in the direction Luo Shu had gone.

However, it wasn’t long before they realized Luo Shu’s car had vanished.

"Where did she go? How could she just disappear?" The sharp-chinned man’s face was filled with astonishment after chasing for a while without spotting Luo Shu’s car. Their car wasn’t slower than hers, and since it was a straight road, it was impossible for them to have lost sight of her so quickly.

"Behind us!" The chubby man glanced at the rearview mirror unintentionally and his face changed drastically, pressing the brakes immediately. Was she a ghost? How did she silently end up behind them?

When Luo Shu saw the other car come to a stop, she chuckled playfully, drove her car behind theirs, and stopped. This car was borrowed from the Divine Doctor Family’s Jinchen Office, and she definitely didn’t want her own car to be wrecked.

Seeing that Luo Shu had parked her car behind theirs, both the chubby man and sharp-chinned man were full of surprise. Didn’t she know they were here to kill her?

Luo Shu got out of her car and walked up to the two men, smiling at them, "Are you here to kill me?"

The two men nodded dumbfounded. They were completely taken aback by Luo Shu’s unexpected move. She clearly knew they were there to kill her, yet she came straight to them. Was she out of her mind? But she didn’t seem so.

"Did Song Yuyan send you?" Luo Shu continued.

"How did you know?" The sharp-chinned man couldn’t help but voice his astonishment.

"Guessed it," Luo Shu said with a playful smile.

"You know we’re here to kill you, so why come up here to die?" The chubby man couldn’t help but voice his confusion. Earlier when she parked her car behind theirs, she had a chance to escape, so why follow them?

"You’re mistaken, I came to deal with you, I don’t like trouble," Luo Shu said, tossing a Fiery Talisman.

Upon hearing Luo Shu’s words, the two men immediately reached for their guns. But in the next moment, their bodies along with their car behind them were engulfed in a strange flame. In just an instant, both men and the car vanished from the spot, as if they had never appeared.

Luo Shu curled her lips into a smile, walked back to her car, got in, and drove away.

Song Yuyan occasionally glanced at the phone by her side, hope gleaming in her eyes. She knew Luo Shu was happy to be accepted by Jinchen University and had been eagerly waiting for Luo Shu to come to Jinchen. As long as Luo Shu was in Jinchen, she had numerous ways to deal with her.

The phone did not ring for a long time, and Song Yuyan grew impatient, picking up the phone to call.

"Dudu!" The phone rang twice before someone picked up.

"I’m Song Yuyan; how’s the task I gave you coming along?" Song Yuyan asked eagerly. What she most wanted to hear was the news of Luo Shu’s death.

"Madam! The mission has failed; I will dispatch people again," the person on the line said. He had not received any news from his men since sending them out earlier that day. He had just received word that Luo Shu was now at the Lu family residence. Since Luo Shu was at the Lu family’s place, it meant the mission had failed. But where did his two subordinates go?

"What?! Failed? You’re useless!" Song Yuyan bellowed in anger, "I want to hear about Luo Shu’s death before tonight, or you’ll face the wrath of the Song Family and the Yao Family!"

Without giving the person on the other end a chance to argue, Song Yuyan hung up with a slam.
