The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Chapter 531 The Assassin Arrives

Just as Fang Yun and Gu Tingfang were getting into their conversation, Fang Yun's phone suddenly vibrated. He didn't want to look at it at first, but then he thought about it and realized that not many people knew his phone number.

Moreover, Fang Yun was worried about Chen Jiaying and the other person going back, so this text message was most likely about this matter.

So Fang Yun didn't pay much attention and just glanced at his phone casually.

The moment he saw the phone screen, he froze, then immediately looked at Gu Tingfang and said, "I need to go out for a bit..."

But before Fang Yun could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out in the Gu family's courtyard.

Fang Yun and Gu Tingfang looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the Gu family home, so how could there be gunshots?

"Could it be that someone accidentally fired a gun?"

Fang Yun asked.

However, Gu Tingfang simply shook his head, his face grave.

“I don’t know either, but this is the first time in so many years that I’ve heard gunshots in my own yard. And the sound of the 840 gun seems to be different from the guns of those guards.”

"This gun is significantly more powerful than I have ever seen before."

Upon hearing Gu Tingfang's words, Fang Yun also became somewhat worried. Could it be that those people had already infiltrated the Gu family?

Fang Yun was well aware of the Gu family's defensive capabilities. They were more than enough to deal with ordinary petty thieves, but against these professional assassins, they were utterly ineffective and offered little in terms of defense.

Therefore, Fang Yun couldn't leave for the time being. If the enemy were to take down this stronghold at this moment and capture Gu Tingfang, it would be as if he hadn't come at all, and he would feel very guilty.

"What should we do now?"

Gu Tingfang subconsciously looked at Fang Yun. She now completely regarded Fang Yun as her backbone, after all, she had no one else to rely on in the Gu family now.

"No rush, let me find out the situation first."

Fang Yun had seen it all before. So what if the other side really brought a lot of experts? If they really provoked him, Fang Yun, he would make sure they never returned.

"Arrange a team for me first. This place is too big. I can't manage it all by myself. I need someone to command it."

Gu Tingfang immediately nodded, and then led Fang Yun to the main hall in the middle. This was where the security team usually prepared. Now that they heard the gunshots, many security guards became alert and came here to whisper among themselves.

"Did you hear that sound just now? Our guns don't have that kind of power, and we don't know where it came from."

"Who cares where they came from? Now that they dare to bully us, we'll kill them one by one."

Many security guards shared similar opinions, which showed that they were living a relatively comfortable life and had become complacent, not taking their opponents seriously.

However, Fang Yun could tell the level of these people with just a glance. Most of them had unsteady steps and probably hadn't trained much, so they were having trouble even lifting their guns.

“Miss Gu, I think you should still tell them about the situation. Otherwise, given their current state, they'll be at the mercy of others even if you encounter them.”

Miss Gu nodded. She understood the people she kept at home, but she was usually too busy to train them.

But now it seems that if we don't wake these people up soon, we'll be in real trouble today.

"Everyone stand up straight!"

Gu Tingfang stepped forward and said with a stern face.

Upon seeing Gu Tingfang approach, the security personnel immediately shut their mouths and quickly lined up in formation.

Gu Tingfang was the absolute boss at home. If anyone displeased her, they would probably be fired immediately.

"Young Miss, we all heard that sound just now. Please give the order, and we'll go and find that person right away!"

"Yes, we must find this kid!"

Many people said the same thing.

Gu Tingfang snorted coldly: "Find him out? What if I told you that person was the Black Viper from the South? Who among you has the ability, or rather, the courage?"

As soon as Gu Tingfang mentioned those three words, the crowd, who had just been indignant and full of bravado, looked at each other blankly, unsure of what to say.

"This... Miss, you can't be telling the truth, can you?"

"Of course it's true! Let me tell you the truth, our Gu family recently acquired a batch of rather valuable jewelry, and now we've been targeted by these professional assassins."

"As far as I know, there are at least three top-tier assassins from the Southern Continent, and the total number of other elite and vanguard-level assassins is probably more than a dozen."

"They are the ones who are after our Gu family now."

As soon as Gu Tingfang said this, the previously noisy crowd fell silent, and no one dared to say another word.

Chapter 532 Head-on Confrontation

"What's wrong? Everyone's become mute now. Weren't they all talking just now?"

Gu Tingfang sneered.

"Young Miss, what do you suggest we do? We probably couldn't even kill all of them if we all joined forces."

Many of these security personnel used to be involved in organized crime, but they were all second-rate figures. How could a first-rate figure be willing to work as a security guard in someone's home?

Seeing how dejected these people looked, Gu Tingfang could only feel anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do. She knew the abilities of these people, and she couldn't force people who were only at the level of pigs to do the work of oxen.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Right now, we need to unite, otherwise no one will escape this time."

Gu Tingfang spoke sternly.

Although that's what they say, many people below are clearly already wavering. Being scolded for a job is no problem, even if you're scolded every day, but it's not worth it to lose your life for it. After all, no matter how much money you're paid, it's all for nothing if you lose your life.

"What are you thinking? The young lady is always so good to you, and now that she needs you, this is your attitude?"

At this moment, the security team leader, Riren, stepped forward and gave his subordinates a dressing down.

However, the results this time were clearly not as good.

"You bunch of sons of bitches, get your act together! If I see anyone backing down today, I'll kill them right here and now."

As he spoke, Li Ren first pulled out the pistol tucked into his waistband.

At this moment, Fang Yun said, "Forget it. Even if we force them to go into battle, the effect will probably be counterproductive. Besides, I don't need that many people. One elite squad will suffice."

Fang Yun turned to look at Gu Tingfang, clasped his hands and said, "Miss Gu, I think you should let them make their own choice. Those who are willing to fight alongside the Gu family can stay, and those who are not can simply be given a severance payment and sent away."

“This isn’t appropriate…” Li Ren, who was standing to the side, was taken aback upon hearing this.

“Mr. Fang, you should know that the other party is a master of the level of Black Viper. These kinds of people are extremely fast and can wipe out an entire regiment without making a sound. We have too few people; we probably won't even be enough to kill them.”

"So, according to your understanding, you still want to use a human wave tactic? Sending them up one by one to their deaths?"

Fang Yun's question immediately silenced Ren.

Gu Tingfang said, "Young Master Fang, the situation is urgent, and I don't know how to direct or arrange things. It all depends on you."

Gu Tingfang sighed heavily. She was indeed exhausted.

Her father and his family members from the previous generation are now away from home for extended periods due to certain matters, and some of her uncles and elders never take care of family affairs, so it's hard to expect them to have any good solutions. All the burdens have fallen on Gu Tingfang's shoulders.

"Alright, Miss Gu, since you trust me, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, Fang Yun shouted to the security personnel, "Everyone, I'm giving you a chance now. Anyone who wants to leave can leave now."

As soon as Fang Yun said this, some whispers immediately arose among the people, who seemed very interested but dared not be the first to speak up.

"Of course, I mean you leave completely. Once you step out of this door, you will have no further connection with the Gu family."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

This statement surprised many people.

It's important to know that the Gu family offers very generous treatment, even three times that of other families, which is a major reason why they have been staying here.

If they leave like this, it means they will never have such an opportunity again.

At that moment, all of the nearly forty people present looked hesitant.

Li Ren, who was standing in front, wanted to say something, but when he saw that Gu Tingfang didn't move, he also kept silent.

"Haven't made your choice yet? I don't have that much time to wait for you!" Fang Yun said again.

........ .... 0

"If you don't leave within the allotted time, then I'll assume you're coming to the battlefield with me to face the Black-bellied Serpent, the Lone Wolf, and the Evil Spider..."

After Fang Yun called out a few more names, someone finally raised their hand: "I...I choose to leave."

Following this person, a large group of people raised their hands, numbering more than thirty.

Upon seeing this, Li Ren and Gu Tingfang both sighed softly, never expecting such a scene to unfold at a time of life and death.

“Very well, I will persuade Miss Gu to give you some repatriation money.” Fang Yun frowned. “Now… get out of here!”

Immediately, most of the security personnel scattered like birds and beasts, rushing towards the gate of the Gu family. After all, no matter how much money they were offered, they still needed to be alive to spend it.

At this moment, the once noisy hall now only had seven or eight people left.

Fang Yun looked at them and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Those people had no expression on their faces, and it took them a long time before their lips moved.

"We are not afraid!" (Factory)

Chapter 533 Losses

"Good!" Fang Yun clapped his hands. "If I weren't a rabble, I would want people like you who aren't afraid to die."

Fang Yun wasn't angry that most people left; on the contrary, he was happy that they were able to stay.
