Su Xiaoqiang smiled smugly: "I haven't been idle in Japan. Aunt Zhang has been teaching me how to shoot."
"You're still calling me 'Auntie,' you should call me 'Mom'!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at him shyly.
At this moment, the only person still conscious was Lin Shengquan, because things happened so fast that he barely had time to react.
From the moment Su Xiaoqiang fired the shot until the end, only five or six seconds had passed. In a basketball game, that's only the time allotted for a baseline ball play.
"If I'm not mistaken, your boss has already abandoned you, right? Hmm?" Gu Ran slowly walked forward, gently patted Lin Shengquan's shoulder, and then placed his hand on his head to read his memories.
Gu Ran quickly figured out how Lin Shengquan had embezzled the Su family's money.
When the Su family sells minerals to customers, the customers pay the Su family. Since Su's father is far away in the East, he can't keep an eye on the arrival of this money. Therefore, the local office manager has always been in charge of the process.
So Lin Shengquan hatched a plan: when a customer paid, he would first transfer the money to his own account for stock investment, and then return it a week later.
At first, Lin Shengquan only bought some stock funds to make a little money, but later he became greedy and, on someone's advice, bought a stock.
It turned out that this stock was a zombie stock, just waiting for someone to buy in and help them get out of their predicament. Lin Shengquan was tricked into buying this stock, and as a result, his money was stuck and he had no way to get out.
Then he panicked and desperately tried to buy more shares, resulting in several consecutive losses, and he even used money from other offices.
At this point, he was terrified and wanted to run away, but he had no money because it was all tied up.
At a critical moment, someone provided Lin Shengquan with a loan, allowing him to buy other stocks and make a profit. This money was used to temporarily pay off the Su family's debt, thus helping them weather the crisis.
However, the person who lent money to Lin Shengquan had no good intentions. Lending money to him meant that Lin Shengquan was still in debt. Since Lin Shengquan had no way to repay the money, he could only work for the other party, trying every means to manipulate the accounts and steal money from the Su family.
The person who lent money to Lin Shengquan is Lin Shengquan's current boss.
Lin Shengquan embezzled 80 million US dollars from the Su family, but he only had about 20 million US dollars for himself. The rest of the money was with his current boss.
As for the identity of boss Lin Shengquan, it is very mysterious. All that is known is that his secretary seems to be named Susanna.
“Susanna… could it be her and him?” Gu Ran vaguely remembered the name.
It only takes a moment to access Lin Shengquan's memories. While Lin Shengquan was still in a daze, Gu Ran took his wallet and phone.
Chapter 575 Let's escape, if we can escape
Lin Shengquan regained consciousness at this time, unaware that his memories had been read.
He only saw Su Xiaoqiang pull out a new magazine from behind Gu Ran, reload the bullets, and chamber a round.
Then, this tall, sexy woman, holding a gun, aimed at the head of the person on the ground and finished them off...
boom!
bang bang bang-
"Wow, that finishing move was so professional!" Gu Ran applauded Su Xiaoqiang from the side.
Su Xiaoqiang raised an eyebrow smugly, and that little expression was really cute in Gu Ran's eyes.
But in Lin Shengquan's eyes, this woman was truly terrifying!
She hopped and skipped to finish off the enemy, like a murderous female demon...
Lin Shengquan had heard of this three-point shooting technique: two shots to the body and one shot to the head for a finishing blow. It was something only professionally trained assassins would do, in order to ensure that the enemy had no chance of resistance.
He finally understood that the couple dared to come here alone not because they had no subordinates, but because they themselves possessed unparalleled abilities.
Gu Ran is one thing, but wasn't Su Xiaoqiang a well-behaved girl who had always lived in China? When did she acquire such comprehensive killing skills?
"Hey, look at me, stop looking at my wife!" Gu Ran snapped his fingers at Lin Shengquan, drawing his attention.
Then Lin Shengquan knelt down before Gu Ran with a 'plop'.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll do anything as long as you don't kill me!" He lay on the ground, kowtowing and begging Gu Ran for mercy.
Gu Ran laughed: "Why did your attitude change so suddenly? I don't know what to do!"
As Lin Shengquan knelt down, he secretly reached for his waist, preparing to reach for his gun and launch a sneak attack on Gu Ran.
However, when he reached for his waist, he found that the gun was gone.
"Oh, you want the gun? Here you go." Gu Ran casually tossed a pile of handgun parts in front of Lin Shengquan.
It turned out that Gu Ran had already taken the pistol and disassembled it.
Lin Shengquan opened his mouth, looking at the parts on the ground, but did not try to assemble the gun.
Because Gu Ran removed the magazine.
At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang finished off the two people furthest away, slowly walked back, and asked, "Should we kill this one?"
As he spoke, Su Xiaoqiang pointed a gun at Lin Shengquan's head.
Lin Shengquan suddenly shouted, "You, you can't kill me! My boss, yes, my boss has a powerful background. If you kill me, you, you'll be in deep trouble! You'll all die!"
Gu Ran smiled, took out Lin Shengquan's phone, fiddled with it a few times, and tossed it back to him: "Call your boss and see if he answers?"
Lin Shengquan picked up the phone with trembling hands and dialed his boss's number, only to hear an English voice prompt: "The number you dialed is not in service. Please check and dial again..."
The phone is busy!
He could still get through yesterday. Before he took action against the Mafia, he even called his boss to ask for his opinion. His boss replied that it was "interesting," and that's when he made his move.
Now, Lin Shengquan understands what his boss meant by "interesting"—he found his foolish behavior amusing.
"Now you finally realize how stupid you were?" Gu Ran walked over to Lin Shengquan, snatched his phone again, and then used it on speakerphone to dial another number.
"Hello, who is this?" A somewhat indifferent male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello Uncle Percy, I'm Gu Ran!" Gu Ran said cheerfully. He had gotten Percy's contact information when he called Caesar earlier.
Percy paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, thinking to himself that he didn't seem that old...
"Is something wrong?"
"Here's the thing, I had already let that mafia member go, only made him pay some money, but then the owner of this phone wiped out his entire family and even bragged about it to me, so I'm telling you."
Percy closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered today's report: a family had indeed been wiped out, and they were still looking for the culprit and figuring out the reason.
I never expected it would be related to Gu Ran.
“I understand. Is the owner of this phone listening?” Percy asked.
"Yes, yes." Gu Ran gently patted Lin Shengquan's face with the phone. "I'm looking for you, talk to me."
Lin Shengquan was trembling with fear, unsure of what to say, and finally just said "Hey".
Percy recorded this voice in order to obtain the person's voiceprint and compare it at the moment of execution to avoid killing the wrong person.
“Okay, I understand,” Percy said. “Thank you, Gu Ran, for everything you’ve done for the Gattuso family.”
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm classmates with the boss, it's all I should do!" Gu Ran said at the end. "Then, Uncle Percy, goodbye."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and secretly stuffed the wallet back into Lin Shengquan's pocket.
Then he turned and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang: "Let's go."
"Not kill him?" Su Xiaoqiang then took out the magazine and glanced at it; there were still two Frigga bullets inside.
Lin Shengquan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he secretly glanced at Gu Ran.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're not serial killers, we don't like killing." Gu Ran took the Glock back from Su Xiaoqiang's hand and said to Lin Shengquan, "We won't kill you, so you can go."
"Why don't you kill him?" Su Xiaoqiang asked knowingly, but feigned some dissatisfaction in her tone, continuing to scare Lin Shengquan.
“Let him experience what it's like to be hunted, then let him flee in fear, and finally let him die in despair when there's nowhere left to run,” Gu Ran said. “Don't you think that's more interesting than killing him?”
"That seems true, but what if he escapes?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"If he really manages to escape, then it's fate; Heaven shouldn't have let him die." Gu Ran turned and glanced at Lin Shengquan. "But, can you really escape?"
As he spoke, Gu Ran suddenly pulled out another gun from the holster behind him, an M1911. This pistol used .0.45 ACP rounds, and its power and penetrating power were even more astonishing than those of the Glock pistol.
When Lin Shengquan saw Gu Ran pull out a pistol, he thought Gu Ran was going to change his mind and kill him. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, repeatedly shouting, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
But Gu Ran really didn't intend to kill him. He aimed at the tires of the surrounding vehicles and started pulling the trigger, blowing out the tires of all the cars that Lin Shengquan and his gang had driven.
Lin Shengquan covered his head, listening to the gunshots. With each shot, he trembled with fear until the gunfire stopped for a while, when he realized he was still alive.
At that moment, the car engine started to roar. Su Xiaoqiang, sitting in the driver's seat, shone the high beams on Lin Shengquan, made a face at him, and stepped on the gas and drove away.
The entire Nürburgring circuit was silent except for the sounds of summer insects and birdsong, which emanated quietly from the forest.
Lin Shengquan then realized that Gu Ran had spared his life.
……
"Where are we going next?" asked driver Su Xiaoqiang.
"Go to Zurich, Switzerland." Gu Ran took out his phone to give Su Xiaoqiang directions.
"What are we going there for?" Although she asked this, Su Xiaoqiang had already stepped on the gas and driven off.
“That kid only has less than 20 million US dollars in savings, all deposited in a Swiss bank. Let’s go withdraw it first, and at the same time max out his credit cards!” As he spoke, Gu Ran waved a credit card in his hand, which he had ‘stolen’ from Lin Sheng.
Su Xiaoqiang wasn't stupid; she understood Gu Ran's plan after a little thought.
At this point, Lin Shengquan must have been thinking about how to escape and avoid being hunted down by the Gattuso family, and escaping would require money.
Therefore, Lin Shengquan's first priority was definitely to go to the Swiss bank to get the money.
That's why Gu Ran shot through the tires of all his vehicles, preventing him from getting to the Swiss bank immediately.
He had planned all of this; Lin Shengquan's fate was to die in despair.
Germany and Switzerland are neighboring countries with a border; Germany is in the north and Switzerland is in the south.
The journey from Cologne, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland is about 570 kilometers. Most of the highways along this route are in Germany, and if you drive fast, you can get there in two or three hours.
In Germany, highways are toll-free, with no toll booths. This is because all highway costs are included in the fuel surcharge, which is essentially a disguised form of highway toll collection.
Su Xiaoqiang took this opportunity to speed again. It was past 1 a.m., and there were very few cars on the road, so she stepped on the gas with great excitement, maintaining a speed of over 300 km/h. Gu Ran even took the opportunity to reduce the weight of the car, allowing Su Xiaoqiang to floor the gas pedal and try out the speed of a rocket!
Some people seem to be worried that if the car is too light, it might drift when driving so fast.
Actually, no, because the car's body lines use a unique aerodynamic design. During driving, the air will continuously press the body and chassis downwards, giving the car the best grip.
A similar example is a commercial airliner. The lift of an airliner comes from the design of its wings, which use air to lift the aircraft upwards, while the engine only serves to propel it.
This super-fast car "flew" from Cologne to the Swiss border in just over an hour. After passing through the border checkpoint and entering Switzerland, Su Xiaoqiang had no desire to drive anymore.
