CHAPTER 1139: CHAPTER 1139: SAME TRICK AGAIN 4
After that, Chen Yun devoted himself entirely to the matters of the police station, but no one could have expected that on the fourth night after Gu En was hospitalized following her suicide attempt, she escaped!
Xing Ye, Chen Yun, Lin Chan, and the others received the news in the middle of the night. The group rushed to the hospital, only to find horrifying bloodstains everywhere in Gu En’s ward and by the doorway.
"Chief, Gu En somehow managed to get her hands on a gun. She killed a doctor, a nurse, and two guards at the hospital before escaping."
"Gu En’s shooting skills are deadly accurate. Every single victim was killed with one shot, leaving them no time for any medical intervention."
Hearing this, Chen Yun stared into Gu En’s ward, his eyes fixed on the bloodstains on the floor—some of whose origin was unknown. In that moment, his entire demeanor turned terrifyingly dark.
"Four lives." After a long silence, Chen Yun finally spoke. "In just one night, Gu En has taken four more lives with her own hands! Issue the highest-level arrest warrant—search every corner, dig up every stone if you must, but find this murderer for me!"
"What’s frightening in our society isn’t the average criminal but the exceptional ones," the hospital director shook his head and sighed. "Ordinary criminals usually lack such precise marksmanship. Even if they fire a gun and hit someone, there’s often still some time to save the victim. Most people survive encounters with average offenders. But with exceptional criminals, like ex-soldiers or people raised in military environments—the kind bred by the system itself—victims don’t even get a chance to fight for their lives."
Chen Yun and the others had no words to counter this because they all knew the director was speaking the truth.
If Gu En hadn’t come from the Gu Family, how would she have had access to firearms? How would she have learned expert-level shooting skills?
But who could have predicted that the shooting skills Gu En mastered would ultimately be used to claim innocent lives like this?
Four lives—taken without hesitation. If her heart weren’t so cold, if she had left her victims even the slightest chance to survive, with her skills, she could have merely injured them and fled. But instead, she executed them all with precise, fatal shots.
That night, the hospital was left shrouded in fear. Because of Gu En’s rampage, four people lost their lives in an instant—innocent lives. A doctor and a nurse, gone, and four families left to shoulder the unbearable pain of losing their loved ones.
When Gu Hengyuan arrived at the hospital, he came alone. He arrived so quickly that the bloodstains on the hospital floor hadn’t even been cleaned up yet. He could tell just by looking at the blood trails that someone, even after being shot, had tried their hardest to chase after Gu En, leaving a path of droplets leading around the corner.
"Chief Gu, what a perfect foster daughter the Gu Family has raised! Precise marksmanship, four people killed, and every single death a one-shot kill. Such skill could have been invaluable on the battlefield, eliminating enemies. And yet, your Gu Family cultivated a murderer—a cold-blooded, ruthless killer!" Chen Yun couldn’t help but mock Gu Hengyuan harshly before turning away without waiting for a response, leading his team back to the police station.
Gu En was still recovering from her injuries, so her ability to escape wouldn’t allow her to get very far. Chen Yun had already ordered a city-wide search across the capital.
Still, everyone was puzzled. Where did Gu En’s gun come from?
The police station was in chaos, with people busy on all fronts. Chen Yun himself was running around nonstop—working to comfort the victims’ families, paying his respects to the families of officers who had died in the line of duty. But what he wanted more than anything else was to catch Gu En and show her the meaning of a fate worse than death!
The military parade in October required troops to gather for training in the capital. He Teng, being one of the key figures, naturally led his regiment to the city. He had just stepped off the train when he saw posters and handbills of Gu En’s wanted notice plastered all over the capital.
