Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 743 - 741: Call for Backup When Needed

Gu Yuan hurriedly checked when was the last time those people had maintenance, and as he flipped to the last page, he finally saw the time record.

"If my previous guess is correct, those people come here once every three months, and it’s almost exactly three months since the last time..."

Gu Yuan suddenly lifted his eyelids, with a noticeable excitement in his eyes.

"Looks like my luck is the best, catching some people red-handed as soon as I arrive!"

Muttering to himself, Gu Yuan turned around and put the related booklets back in place, then changed into the staff’s clothes.

He even started pretending, picking up a walkie-talkie and wandering around, clearly preparing for waiting for a rabbit to jump into the trap.

Watching as time passed by bit by bit, Gu Yuan wasn’t nervous at all.

He patiently took out the food he had swiped from Yun Ran and ate as he walked.

With messy hair and dark blue overalls, anyone who saw Gu Yuan like this would definitely not think he was that high-spirited Gu Chu.

As the sun reached its highest position, the mist in Gu Yuan’s location gradually dispersed, and the temperature rose significantly.

Gu Yuan planned to find a shady spot to avoid the sun.

The ultraviolet rays at this altitude are very strong, and he really cherishes his face.

Suddenly, a rustling sound arose.

Gu Yuan, who was initially a bit languid, quickly flipped over and hid behind a rock.

The trees here weren’t sturdy enough; otherwise, hiding in the trees would be the best choice.

Gu Yuan used talisman paper to conceal his aura, quietly watching the direction the noise came from.

After a while, a group of people dressed in the same overalls as him appeared, carrying tools.

Each of them had a slight relaxed demeanor, as if they were genuinely maintenance personnel.

"Who do you think leaked the information about this place? It’s really despicable!"

"Who else could it be? It’s always those few groups, but we’re the unlucky ones. If it wasn’t our shift this time,

we wouldn’t have shown up here, only to be blocked by those guys from the Special Administration Bureau on the mountain. What should we do now?"

"What can we do? Mix cold dishes! We’re wearing overalls, and our identities are not in question.

When the time comes, we’ll just say we were on the mountain and didn’t receive the notification, won’t we?"

...

As the group walked and complained, Gu Yuan could sense that they were irritated by the Special Administration Bureau’s involvement.

But within that irritation, there wasn’t much fear or dread.

It was as if they knew, in the end, they would be fine.

This made Gu Yuan feel uneasy; it seemed the situation was more complicated than he imagined.

After those people walked away, Gu Yuan stepped out from behind the rock.

Logically, righteous sects rarely ambush others.

But at this moment, Gu Yuan had no psychological burden, directly throwing Attack Talismans at them.

"Bang, bang, bang..." went the noise.

The people who were looking leisurely just now were caught off guard and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Who are you, how dare you harm us!"

The leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swiftly stood up like a falcon, staring viciously at Gu Yuan.

The others soon realized, though they had been attacked and coughed up blood, the damage wasn’t significant to them.

Those chosen for the rotation have no weaklings among them.

Gu Yuan noticed his Attack Talisman had such limited effect on them and slightly frowned.

The other individuals didn’t wait for Gu Yuan’s response.

"Whoever he is, anyone daring to appear here and even use Attack Talismans against us must leave their life here and apologize with it!"

They probably had some guesses about Gu Yuan’s identity in their hearts, but they merely thought he was a small fry from the Special Administration Bureau.

"Exactly, there are plenty who’ve died at our hands, one more doesn’t make a difference. Kill him and toss him off the cliff, no one will know!"

Gu Yuan just watched them coldly as they discussed how to kill him.

He snorted lightly; even when surrounded by enemies, facing life or death, he wouldn’t bat an eye.

Especially now that all the major routes on Five Emperors Mountain have been taken over by their Special Administration Bureau.

And Yun Ran and the others are on the mountain.

With so much support, he naturally wasn’t afraid.

"If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the skill. As for you, I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while!"

Both sides finished their harsh words, but neither made the first move, just standing there in a subtle standoff.

It was unclear what exactly they were wary of in each other.

After a while longer, Gu Yuan heard sounds gradually approaching, and his smile grew more evident.

Having spent so much time with Yun Ran, he naturally learned many of her ’good habits.’

One of them being when to call in reinforcements, and to never delay for a minute.

Those in overalls also heard these sounds.

Their expressions shifted.

These sounds were clearly not from friends but foes, and they knew exactly how many people they had.

"Despicable!"

"The people from the Special Administration Bureau are so shameless, using deceit like this!"

Gu Yuan: ...

When did he ever say he was a gentleman?

His sister Yun Ran once said that any method that achieves the goal is a good method!

Gu Yuan wholeheartedly agreed at this moment.

Telling the bad guys the rules is like letting others put a knife to his throat!

Wanqi Yu hurriedly arrived with his team, seeing Gu Yuan in his overalls, unharmed, and driving the others to anger.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, when Yun Ran instructed them to scatter and handle tasks separately, his identity felt awkward, not knowing what to do for a moment.

It was Gu Yuan who suggested that he be a mobile unit, ready to support others after climbing the mountain with those who were with Gu Yuan.

After receiving Gu Yuan’s request for support, Wanqi Yu immediately rushed over with his team.

He thought he would see a bloody and tragic scene.

After all, in his experience, calling for reinforcements usually happened when you couldn’t hold on and were about to be beaten.

But after quickly examining Gu Yuan, it seemed like the other enemies were more severely injured.

Although a bit speechless, Wanqi Yu still dutifully joined Gu Yuan in a surrounding formation, containing the injured men that Gu Yuan had dealt with.
