The times he appeared in front of the crowd were becoming fewer and fewer. Among these people attending the funeral, many didn't have a deep impression of Ruan Wenzhong, making it even harder to spot any flaws.
However, such an arrangement, for others or for most people on site, was absolutely flawless.
But for Qin Fang, he only needed a simple scouting skill to completely expose this fellow's true nature, discovering he was nothing but a fake, a counterfeit...
Ruan Wenzhong wanted to use this funeral to lure out the person who killed Ruan Youlin, someone who, of course, also wanted his life.
Earlier, Qin Fang had roughly scanned the area; Ruan Wenzhong's setup was quite comprehensive. Snipers were already in position, all aiming from the best possible vantage points.
If Qin Fang, the murderer, were to be exposed, it was expected that at least five snipers would be targeting his location... Given the power of sniper rifles, even using a puppet person, Qin Fang would find it hard to completely evade since the five positions formed a near-circle.
The puppet person could shield Qin Fang from one direction, but the other three directions weren't as easy to handle...
Using a stand-in is actually quite common, especially for those whose lives are constantly at risk or have enemies worldwide, having a stand-in is a must.
As a stand-in, it's not like shooting a movie; although the requirements aren't overly exaggerated, a certain foundation is still needed...
For instance, Ruan Wenzhong's stand-in, his appearance was practically impeccable, even his tone of speech, although slightly stiff, showed almost no anomalies.
Today, Qin Fang came to kill Ruan Wenzhong. Although this stand-in looked identical to Ruan Wenzhong, he was not actually him, and Qin Fang naturally didn't want to waste effort on such a counterfeit; it would be too wasteful...
"With his nature, he should be lurking in some corner where he can see this place..."
Identifying that this Ruan Wenzhong was a fake, Qin Fang immediately pondered and began searching again.
This time, Ruan Wenzhong came to avenge Ruan Youlin and used himself as bait, only his bait had some issues, allowing him to remain uninvolved personally.
But killing an enemy, avenging is something one naturally wishes to complete personally or witness firsthand. No one is eager to complete such a satisfying thing through a computer screen alone.
So, Qin Fang felt that Ruan Wenzhong must have already been at the scene, but he was cautious and definitely hiding in a more secluded location.
This is also quite reasonable, Ruan Wenzhong wouldn't want to die inexplicably, so using a stand-in to do the job was a rather clever idea.
Actually, this is not his sole innovation; many wealthy, powerful, and influential figures love to do such things...
Mainly for safety reasons...
Qin Fang immediately opened the mini-map and carefully filtered through it. A fifty-meter range covered a very large area.
But whether Ruan Wenzhong was within a fifty-meter range was hard to guarantee; perhaps Qin Fang might sift through everyone and find nothing, or he might spot the whereabouts of the honor points at a glance.
Qin Fang quickly filtered through one after another, with these people also changing from the previous red markers to "harmless" green markers.
This green mainly indicated these people had become "friendly" with no hostility towards Qin Fang, naturally easing Qin Fang's mind considerably.
Actually, this was quite understandable.
These people were not familiar with Qin Fang, some hadn't even interacted with him, so there was naturally no talk of resentment. Changing from red to green was quite normal.
"Huh..."
But as each target was eliminated, Qin Fang really discovered something, immediately noticing a slight anomaly in the corner.
This was a large red mark, indicating extreme hostility towards Qin Fang...
"So, you're hiding here..."
Undoubtedly, those who could hate Qin Fang to the core in Luo City were few in number, only a handful of people.
Li Yaonan... He was already dead, could be discounted!
Ruan Youlin... He's also dead, so could be disregarded...
So the only remaining one seemed to be Ruan Wenzhong, the ruler of Luo City. Since the Ruan Wenzhong hosting the funeral was a fake, the real Ruan Wenzhong was the one hiding in the corner.
"Since you're here, don't expect to leave..."
Having confirmed Ruan Wenzhong's whereabouts, Qin Fang started rethinking how to act.
Essentially, the high points around the cemetery were already occupied by Ruan Wenzhong's people, with the entire area fully covered by firepower.
Should Qin Fang show up, Ruan Wenzhong's men would undoubtedly act immediately, and certainly wouldn't show him any mercy.
As for accidentally injuring others, Ruan Wenzhong didn't care at all.
But if Ruan Wenzhong thought this would deter Qin Fang from acting, he was sorely mistaken.
Carefully noting the positions of several sniper points while his body shifted slightly, Qin Fang immediately took action.
Without seeing his hand move much, a shadow suddenly flew from his hand, appearing conspicuously abrupt.
"It's a bomb!"
Almost simultaneously, a sharp voice shouted loudly, while the dark object was flying towards Ruan Youlin's grave.
Even though Ruan Wenzhong had thoroughly prepared, the sudden chaos caused by the panic-stricken crowd quickly erupted.
"There's a bomb, run..."
Some with a weaker heart immediately fled towards the periphery, as if they feared being the last to be bombed.
Once the crowd panicked, formations scattered like a broken puzzle, causing a massive headache for anyone watching.
And along with the commotion, Qin Fang blended into the crowd, quickly retreating to the periphery...
Ruan Youlin's funeral, which should have been a solemn occasion, paled in comparison to one's life, becoming less important.
This random flow was somewhat particular; at least two to three hundred people attended the funeral, making for quite a sizable gathering.
When the crowd scattered like this, it broke into clusters, each swiftly fleeing in the same direction.
Such small teams varied greatly in size, some with over ten people, others with only two or three, or even one person alone,
At this moment, Qin Fang was nestled in one small group of about seven or eight people, sprinting madly away from the cemetery...
But upon careful observation, the direction this group was running towards was unmistakably that of Ruan Wenzhong's location.
Even as Qin Fang maneuvered through the crowd, he noticed Ruan Wenzhong's face twisted like a bitter melon, clearly not expecting such a turn of events!
He had just consulted with those snipers; although some saw someone throwing the so-called "bomb," several claimed they couldn't see clearly who it was, with some even unaware of where it was thrown from...
While Ruan Wenzhong was troubled, Qin Fang remained quite relaxed, eyeing Ruan Wenzhong with ill intentions, then slightly shaking his arm, as a tiny Palm Thunder appeared in his hand, aimed almost without hesitation at the furious Ruan Wenzhong chastising his subordinates not far away, gently pulling the trigger...
