Cultivation Online novel Chapter 962

Chapter 962 - Assassination Attempt

The sound of powerful guns blazing through bullets continued nonstop for another minute until the people in the black van eventually ran out of bullets.

"We're out! Let's get the fuck out of here!"

The people in the black van didn't even bother to check whether their targets had survived before stepping on the gas and speeding away from the crime scene.

However, Yuan didn't dare to remove the wall until he was absolutely sure that the threat had completely vanished.

"Are you guys okay?!" Yuan turned around to ask the three terrified ladies standing behind him with shivering legs.

"I-I'm okay…" White Lotus muttered in a trembling voice.

"I am fine as well…" Chu Liuxiang said.

"Me too." Meixiu said.

"Meixiu! You're totally not fine! Look at your arm! It's bleeding!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly said in a panicked voice and pointed to her left arm, where blood could be seen flowing from a wound.

"Oh, you're right." Meixiu looked at her arm and said in a calm voice.

After inspecting the wound, she continued, "I'm fine, it's just a graze."

"How can you be so calm about this…? You just got shot!" Chu Liuxiang was dumbfounded by her reaction.

"Anyways, what in god's name was that just now?!"

"It was most likely the Zheng Family trying to exact revenge. I don't have any proof, but they're the only ones who have a motive." White Lotus sighed.

"Even if they want revenge, to think they'd go this far… This is unforgivable…" She looked at the destruction caused by the shooting just now.

Fortunately, there were no deaths. However, some people there were injured in the process of trying to run away, and the buildings behind their group were riddled with bullets.

Everyone there turned to look at Yuan, who was awfully silent for some reason, but that only made the ladies even more nervous.

Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang suddenly recalled what happened with the Gu Family when they threatened to hurt them. However, this incident was many times worse than the Gu Family, and Meixiu even got physically hurt in the process, so they cannot even begin to imagine what was going through Yuan's head.

"Are you okay, Yuan?" White Lotus decided to ask him.

To their surprise, he nodded and spoke in an abnormally calm voice, "Yes, I am just relieved that you're safe. Let's return to the hotel and get your wound treated, Meixiu."

"Okay…"

As they made their way back to the hotel, police sirens could be heard blaring in almost every street.

"Yes, that really just happened." White Lotus spoke to her father through the phone as they walked, notifying him of the horror they'd just experienced.

"That fucking Zheng Family! How dare they try to assassinate you guys! They have crossed the line a thousand times! Don't worry, I will make sure they are held accountable for their actions! I'm just really glad that none of you are hurt!"

"By the way, has Yuan said anything about the situation?" Bai Mengyao suddenly asked.

"N-No… He's awfully quiet, nor has he spoken a word since we left…" White Lotus answered in a whispering voice.
