Chapter 243 - 242 You Are Lying
"No, Lu Tianxing, you are lying. My intuition tells me that you know everything about this matter."
Xue Bing stared coldly at Lu Tianxing, his voice deep, "Fu Tu, that name was mentioned by you, wasn’t it? This time encountering the assassin, it was clear that they were after Mr. Bai’s life. Watching your driving skills, you clearly had several chances to shake off the pursuer, but instead of fleeing with Mr. Bai, you chose to head towards the cross-river bridge. After you rushed onto the bridge, the assassin pursuing Mr. Bai mysteriously fell into the river and died. Lu Tianxing, won’t you explain this to me?"
Xue Bing gazed unblinkingly at Lu Tianxing. The death of this assassin was too coincidental, incredulously so. This cross-river bridge had a surveillance blind spot due to construction issues, a blind spot of less than five meters, and coincidentally, the assassin died right within this blind zone. Isn’t that all too coincidental?
Moreover, this invitation that killed the assassin was eerily unique; even a glance at it would likely terrify an ordinary person. And during the assassination attempt, ordinary people would generally feel their heartbeat speeding up, panicking and uneasy, yet Lu Tianxing displayed neither flushing nor palpitations, as if he had experienced a perfectly normal event. This was undeniably strange.
Thus, there was only one explanation: Lu Tianxing was accustomed to such scenarios of being hunted; it was nothing unusual for him, as commonplace as eating and drinking daily, causing no ripples at all.
Therefore, Xue Bing was certain that this assassin’s death was something Lu Tianxing definitely knew about, or even that everything was orchestrated and planned by him. Even if not, Lu Tianxing definitely knew who the real killer of this assassin was.
"Officer Xue, you overestimate me. At that moment, I was merely trying to save my own life; I couldn’t worry about anything else. Moreover, while there were opportunities, it didn’t mean they guaranteed escape. What if I couldn’t escape? My death wouldn’t matter, but what if something happened to Mr. Bai? Would you be responsible? I wouldn’t want to gamble with Mr. Bai’s life."
Hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing continued jokingly, "And, Fu Tu? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda’? Because you arrived in time to save me and Mr. Bai, I called you a virtuous Fu Tu, a rescuer in times of suffering, like Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"You are lying."
