Chapter 1381 - 412: Wu’s Secret (2)

Chapter 1381: Chapter 412: Wu’s Secret (2)

The problem arose; Wu is not an ordinary Chinese restaurant owner.

His background cannot withstand scrutiny.

Especially not from a colossal figure like the Mayor of New York!

Once they found out that the girl nearly accosted by the pajama man at the party, her father turned out to have a secretly hidden identity, either as a ruthless assassin or something else...

If you’re the mayor, wouldn’t you suspect that the box was most likely stolen by this guy?

Moreover, once Wu’s hidden identity is uncovered, leaving aside the mayor’s issues, his own background would cause him many problems.

So, Wu’s solution was simple.

Eliminate the person.

The mayor would investigate the box; he would uncover his background.

If there was no mayor in this world, then there’d be no problem.

Of course, while he’s at it, also get rid of the pajama man who nearly accosted his daughter.

"So, as the small owner of a Chinese restaurant, you independently planned a major assassination against the mayor?" Chen Yan sighed, gave Wu a peculiar look, "But, I seemed to overestimate you; I originally thought you should be more formidable, yet you failed."

Wu shot Chen Yan a glance, "It’s all your fault."

"Me?" Chen Yan chuckled, "I just refused to be your accomplice; I didn’t interfere or sabotage your assassination plan."

"You did." Wu spoke seriously.

Chen Yan: "..."

Wu sighed, "Do you know how precise a plan it takes to assassinate a political figure? How much preliminary work is needed?

I need to know his travel itinerary, route, and based on all these, choose the most suitable place for the assassination, where success is most likely, among all the places he’ll appear or visit.

I also need to survey the terrain, scoping the site, crafting a scheme for the assassination, when to act, where to act, how to act, and how to safely retreat after succeeding, and how to evade pursuit.

Besides, it’d be best to fully understand this Mayor’s various preferences, uncover some of his peculiar hobbies that may present more conditions and opportunities for the assassination.

In summary, assassinating a political figure requires a lot of preliminary meticulous work.

Under normal circumstances, if I were to do this task, I’d need at least a month for preliminary work.

Investigation, site surveying, plan formulation.

I’d need intelligence support; I might also need to purchase some special equipment, and spend time modifying and adjusting the equipment...

A month is the minimum I feel confident I can complete!

But...

But because of the box you took, the mayor will conduct an investigation as soon as possible!

I don’t have that much time!

I don’t have a month to prepare; I must immediately, right away, send that mayor to hell! The sooner the better!

Thus, this assassination plan was too hastily put together.

Didn’t prepare thoroughly on any front, could only push through forcibly, and finally... made mistakes."

Alright, after hearing these words, Chen Yan actually internally agreed with Wu’s explanation.

This blame seemed indeed attributable to him.

"So, what do you intend to do now?" Chen Yan looked at Wu.

Wu didn’t answer directly, but instead looked at Chen Yan, "What medicine did you use on me?"

"Hmm?"

"I’m not an idiot; I was severely injured and lost a lot of blood. The shot to my abdomen probably severed my intestines or punctured an organ. I suspect that when I ran home, I already had internal bleeding.

Including the artery in my thigh...

I didn’t die, and within a day, I’m able to sit on the bed smoking, though still weak, but I can feel that with the current trend, I’m certainly getting better day by day.

And you, are definitely not someone with extraordinary medical skills; I saw your stitching, it was like my daughter as a child sewing fabric dolls with scraps and buttons.

Yet somehow you healed me.

So, what miraculous medicine did you use on me?"

Chen Yan didn’t reply, walked over and took the cigarette out of Wu’s mouth, threw it on the ground and stomped it out.

"Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask." Chen Yan said indifferently, "Now that you’re awake, I’ve helped you out."

"Need to leave here." Wu said seriously, "I shot that mayor; the assault injury will divert his attention for now; for these two days, he’ll be lying low in the hospital, heavily guarded while recuperating. The box investigation might be temporarily delayed.

But it won’t be delayed too long, as the mayor doesn’t need to personally handle everything. So, with the assassination failed, I must leave here, take my daughter, and go awa​y to live on the run."

Chen Yan stared into Wu’s eyes, feeling that Wu wasn’t entirely truthful.

He had a feeling that what Wu was truly wary of wasn’t the mayor’s investigation and pursuit.

Chen Yan was curious and casually asked, "Wu, what secrets do you really have?"

Wu pursed his lips.

Chen Yan nodded, "Alright, since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask. What comes next is your problem, unrelated to me. I saved your life, now that the job’s done, I should also get going.

Whether you go on the run or take your daughter to a new place to start anew, it has nothing to do with me, right."
