Chapter 302: Chapter 192: Smiling Face (Second Update)_6

Second, figure out the truth behind Clo’s suicide.

It definitely was not because Clo was exceptionally prone to violence. After all, Jiang Shu had never heard of anyone whose violent tendencies were directed at themselves.

Thus, once he realized that Clo might be in the Special Prison again, he voluntarily incarcerated himself.

Even without this connection, he would have chosen to go to prison to try and deal with Clo. After all, only by confronting Clo could he possibly strike at the heart of the matter. What sense did it make to tangle with his minions outside?

After going to prison, their roles as cat and mouse switched, and with his increased power, he obviously didn’t rush to deal with Clo. He had the leisure to observe and understand Clo with a mocking expression.

However, in the end, Clo really did escape with the help of Fish Mother’s protection.

Since then, his attitude towards Clo had always been torn and conflicted.

But now, regarding the issue that Clo had exhausted several lifetimes trying to accomplish, he already had some ideas.

Perhaps this was something that only he could accomplish.

Finally, Tang.

Early in the establishment of the Deception Group, the Fox had seriously warned him.

Tang was a very dangerous individual. He must never meet this person, or his identity as the "smiling face" would certainly be exposed.

Once Tang started to handle the cases involving the Deception Group, it was best for them to "disappear" immediately and wait for an opportunity.

But the development of events was beyond Jiang Shu’s expectations. He hadn’t expected that it wasn’t Tang himself who came that night, but rather a mechanical Fake Body, which allowed him to anticipate and guard against him through mind reading.

He hadn’t expected that Tang, to provoke him, to make him expose himself, wouldn’t hesitate to kill Devil Wind.

Jiang Shu closed his eyes, and his thoughts gradually returned.

He silently clenched his fists.

However, in the past three months, he hadn’t been idle. He had discovered Tang’s secret and turned it into his own weapon.

"Don’t think about running away," Jiang Shu leaned back on the reclining chair and moved his neck, "Finish my makeup first."

Qiu Wanying realized she could control her legs again, but her voice still failed her. Furthermore, she felt a sharp object pressed against her neck from behind.

"Do you understand?" Jiang Shu asked again.

Qiu Wanying nodded in terror. At some point, her tears had fallen and smeared her face.

Seeing all this, Jiang Shu also took a paper from the make-up table, stood up, and carefully wiped Qiu Wanying’s face.

"You see, how good I am to you. I never demand anything from you or any of you, so why would you betray us?" Jiang Shu spoke softly, slowly wiping away the makeup, but as he found himself only smearing it more, he turned around, sat down, and casually threw the tissue, "Do my makeup first."

Qiu Wanying’s hand gripped makeup tools that Jiang Shu could not recognize.

"Keep your hand steady. As a T1 makeup artist, you should still have that much professionalism, right?" Jiang Shu said lightly.

Qiu Wanying’s hands quickly steadied as she helped Jiang Shu with his makeup while making mouth shapes towards Jiang Shu’s reflection in the mirror.

"If you have something to say, just tell me in your mind." Jiang Shu turned his head, looked at the mirror, and saw the left side of Qiu Wanying’s face already done with makeup and nodded with satisfaction.

Qiu: "Jiang Shu, I know I was wrong, and I feel very sorry for Devil Wind’s death..."

"Forget it, I don’t want to hear," Jiang Shu shook his head, stopping the Mind Reading Technique.

Qiu Wanying’s eyes widened in horror, and her movements stopped.

Jiang Shu then took the brush from her hand, mimicked her makeup for his right face, and said, "Devil Wind’s death is not your fault. It’s Tang’s. So, I can forgive you... half."

Hearing Jiang Shu’s words, Qiu Wanying’s eyes widened as she stared at him.

After a moment, Jiang Shu finished his right side, shook his head to compare, then nodded with satisfaction.

"With this, if you can leave the TV station building within five minutes after I go on stage, I can let you go." He took out a bullet, twisted from his coat pocket, and placed it in Qiu Wanying’s upper pocket.

Then, Jiang Shu walked toward the crowd backstage without looking back, laughing and blending into their conversation.

At that moment, Qiu Wanying also discovered that she couldn’t move her hands.

Without her hands, without a voice, she couldn’t imagine any way she could ask for help from those around her.

So...

She had to be prepared to escape the television station, starting to run downstairs as soon as Jiang Shu appeared on stage, and she needed to leave within five minutes!

Otherwise, she would truly die here!

The terror of the smiling face far exceeded her imagination, and she had completely lost any will to resist.

When Jiang Shu’s face appeared on the backstage television screen, Qiu Wanying did not hesitate to burst through the door, rushing toward the elevator.

Because she couldn’t control her hands, she stumbled as she ran, and two police officers belatedly chased after her.

Fortunately, when she reached the elevator, the doors were just about to close, and she flashed into the elevator.

"Qiu Wanying, what is this..." Ray, in the elevator, stared at the oddly made-up Qiu Wanying in front of him and was immediately stunned.

Qiu Wanying, however, had no intention of entangling with him and merely raised her foot to tap the button for the first floor with her shoe tip before slumping to the floor of the elevator.

"Qiu Wanying? What’s wrong with you, Qiu Wanying?" Ray was startled by her appearance, kneeling down to help her up.

Qiu Wanying ignored him and just watched the elevator numbers continually decreasing.

It was... it was still possible.

6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

Qiu Wanying suddenly stood up, twisted her body to break free from Ray’s grasp, and dashed toward the exit of the television station.

The sunshine outside the station was nearly within reach.

And the next second, she had passed through the door, coming into the sunlight.

Qiu Wanying was bent over, gasping for breath, her whole body relaxed.

"Qiu Wanying, Qiu Wanying..." Ray’s shouts continuously came from behind.

She looked up and suddenly noticed a reflection of a lens from the building across the street.

Wait! That was!

She realized something, but before she could react, she felt a pain in her forehead, followed by the world spinning around her.

The last image that flashed through her mind was Ray’s face suddenly turning pale.

"She’s dead!" Wolf, standing in the café across the street, immediately grabbed the window in shock, leaning out to look.

Qiu Wanying’s body lay in a pool of blood, and a man, distracted, lifted her up, holding her in his arms.

Tang, standing beside Wolf, also changed his expression, instantly determining the sniper’s position based on the direction Qiu Wanying had fallen, so he half leaned out to look in that direction.

In the hotel room next door, a man wearing a fluffy Wolf Face mask was leisurely waving at him.

Tang’s face instantly darkened, and he didn’t move to chase; a chase would undoubtedly be fruitless.

Could it be...

Did Deception Group have other members?!

Were they always hiding or had they recently joined?

Meanwhile, on the stage.

The microphone was handed to Jiang Shu.

He smiled shyly and said,

"So, coming up next, I hope everyone in Lonely City will enjoy the movie I star in."
