Chapter 149: FBI Agents Don't Work Here

"You say you're going to hunt down the Dibang family?"

Isley asked for confirmation once again.

Was this man out of his mind?

The Dibang family was a powerful dynasty capable of shaking the government of the United States.

If they were so easy to kill,

they would have died ten thousand times over already.

"That's right, is there a problem?" Gu Xiangnan said nonchalantly.

Once they reached the shore, Isley decided, she would part ways with this lunatic; otherwise, she would sooner or later die right here with him.

Isley did not speak to him again.

In the afternoon, their boat finally docked back at the port of Sassa Island.

Gu Xiangnan returned the boat.

Isley walked outside with him.

Reaching an intersection, the two of them stopped.

Isley said to Gu Xiangnan, "Gu, if you're looking for the Dibang family, you need to head to another state. I have some business to attend to and will be staying here for a few days."

"So, farewell then! It's been a pleasure being with you!"

That was what she said, but her thoughts were entirely different.

A man like Gu Xiangnan must have countless enemies.

Staying with him meant misfortune sooner or later.

Suddenly, Gu Xiangnan's eyes darkened, and he quickly pulled her aside.

"Hey~~ What are you..."

Isley cried out in panic.

The next second, the spot where they had been standing a moment before was riddled with a volley of bullets.

A layer of dust rose from the sandy ground.

Gu Xiangnan quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the sniper's location.

People nearby, hearing the gunshots, fled in terror in all directions.

There were screams everywhere, along with crowds running back and forth.

Shootings were a specialty of the United States.

People were highly alert!

At the slightest hint of trouble, they ran faster than rabbits.

Isley panicked.

Didn't these people know she was an FBI agent?

She immediately whipped out her badge, raised her arm high, and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"I am an FBI agent, do not shoot me by mistake!"

She repeated these words several times.

Suddenly, Gu Xiangnan lunged forward again, quickly pulling her toward the other side.

The two of them tumbled to the ground.

"What are you doing? Why did you stand right out in the open? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?"

Gu Xiangnan hit Isley with a fatal trilogy of questions.

Isley hurriedly explained:

"I'm an FBI agent. Once they know my identity, they won't harm me."

Gu Xiangnan stared at Isley with a mocking gaze:

"Why do I get the feeling they don't care about your identity at all?"

With that, he grabbed Isley by the arm and yanked her up from the ground.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat~~"

Another burst of bullets rained down upon them.

Dragging Isley along, Gu Xiangnan pulled her into a nearby building.

With the walls serving as cover, Gu Xiangnan at least had peace of mind.

"Wait here for me and be a good girl!"

With those words, Gu Xiangnan suddenly rushed out.

In a flash, he materialized behind a gunman and shattered the man's skull with a single slap.

Behind the cover, Isley watched in stunned amazement!

Was this even human?

Yet the gunfire did not stop; clearly, the enemy had deployed multiple gunmen.

Gu Xiangnan listened to the sounds to determine their positions, leaped into the air, and plucked a coconut from a tree.

With a swift motion, he hurled it.

The coconut and the gunman's head burst simultaneously, and white matter splattered everywhere.

It was impossible to tell which was coconut water and which was brains.

Only one gunman remained. Seeing that his two companions had already perished, he quietly put away his weapon, not daring to fire another shot.

He lay motionless on the sand, playing the part of a turtle hiding its head.

Gu Xiangnan surely wouldn't notice him, right?

Suddenly, he felt a darkness fall over him.

A tall figure blocked the light from his eyes.

He put on a flattering smile, desperately hoping to spare his life.

Next, he saw Gu Xiangnan raise his foot high and bring it down with a vicious stomp.

"Splat!"

Everything faded into darkness.

Gu Xiangnan dusted off his hands and returned to Isley's side in high spirits.

"Taken care of. What procedures do we need for the next step? Since they were firing wildly at people, do you think I qualify for a civic bravery award?"

Isley only then snapped back to reality.

At first, she had thought Gu Xiangnan was the one who had almost gotten her killed in the crossfire.

Now, her perspective had changed.

Perhaps staying with Gu Xiangnan was the safest place to be after all.

She forced a smile: "I don't know about a civic bravery award, but you looked utterly cool!"

With that, she wrapped her arms around Gu Xiangnan's neck.

And pressed a deep, passionate kiss to his lips.

Gu Xiangnan was left slightly bewildered.

This woman was always so forward; he was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed!

After they shared a hot kiss for a moment,

Isley took the initiative and said, "Gu, I’ve made up my mind. Since you're a stranger in a strange land here in the US, let me guide you to the Dibang family!"

She flashed the car keys in her hand.

Gu Xiangnan was just worrying about how to get there, so he readily agreed.

The two of them took a short break and then got into Isley's car.

With a long journey ahead of them, they started chatting in the car.

Isley asked, "Gu, who do you think was trying to assassinate us today?"

Gu Xiangnan pulled out a cigar, took a puff, and said casually,

"Who else could it be? It has to be the Dibang family!"

"Gu, don't be too optimistic. The Dibang family is so powerful they can even influence diplomatic relations with China."

Seeing how optimistic he was, Isley couldn't help but remind him.

Gu Xiangnan turned his head to look at her:

"If your mother was murdered, would you choose to seek revenge?"

"I would, and I'd make sure the killer faced the full severity of the law!"

"And what if the law is powerless to punish them?"

It finally dawned on Isley.

"You mean... someone from the Dibang family killed your mother?"

"Mmm!"

She finally understood Gu Xiangnan.

Indeed, even if they took it to court, given the Dibang family's influence, they could hire all the top-tier lawyers in the United States.

By the time the trial was over, even though they were the murderers, they could easily be whitewashed as innocent.

Perhaps,

only an eye-for-an-eye approach like Gu Xiangnan's was the most direct and effective form of revenge!

The United States was vast, and driving to the state where the Dibang family resided would take seven or eight hours.

After driving for several hours, night had fallen deep.

Isley was extremely exhausted and suggested finding a place nearby.

To rest for a few hours before pressing on.

Realizing the Dibang family wasn't going to pack up and run away in the middle of the night,

Gu Xiangnan agreed.

Not far ahead by the roadside was a 24-hour motel.

Isley parked the car at the entrance, completed the check-in procedures, took a key, and walked toward Gu Xiangnan.

Gu Xiangnan found it a bit strange: "Why did you only rent one room?"

"There was only one left."

"Lying. None of these rooms have their lights on; they're obviously all empty!"

Gu Xiangnan called out her bluff.

"Oh ho! Busted~" Isley said with a smile. "It's safer with you, and you'll protect me, right?"

Speechless, Gu Xiangnan had no choice but to follow behind her as she silently went to find the room.

The motel rooms were arranged along a long corridor.

They walked to the very last room at the end.

Isley opened the door and switched on the light.

"Whoa!"

She let out an exclamation of surprise.

"What is it?" Gu Xiangnan leaned forward curiously, wanting to see what she had discovered.

"Whoa!"

Gu Xiangnan's expression turned peculiar.
