"Li Beauty, you’d better not struggle. Co back with us, to avoid unnecessary pain," one person said.
"Did Gu Changjun send you? Is he not coming in person?" Li Beauty looked at the dozen or so people surrounding her, and her heart went cold. Didn’t make a move earlier at his house, was he still trying to maintain a perfect image in front of her?
Would he really?
Most likely not. After all, an act is just an act, there will always be a day when it’s exposed.
Does he want to see her have hope, only to watch it be shattered bit by bit afterwards?
If that’s the case, Gu Changjun is really ruthless!!
It’s a killing blow to the heart!
I have to say, Gu Changjun played this move well.
Li Beauty sneered, slowly taking a step back, her toes shifting as her hands assud a fighting stance.
She must have exposed so flaw, thus alerting Gu Changjun.
"To capture you, there’s no need for Young Master Gu to step in. Besides, we’ve already completed the tasks you were ant to leak back, there’s no need for him to act personally." Another person sneered before attacking directly.
The rain gradually started again, with no sign of stopping.
At the manor, Gu Changjun felt his eyelids twitching incessantly, a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
Watching the endless rain in the sky, that feeling in his heart grew stronger.
"You should consider yourself lucky, to have Mr. Gu personally act with you in this deception for so long; others wouldn’t receive such treatnt."
Li Beauty felt her heart pierced, pain spreading instantly throughout her body, causing her to gasp, her body involuntarily stumbling. So that’s how it is!!
Past events flashed continuously before her eyes.
Li Beauty’s face turned pale, but her eyes were astonishingly red, her face drenched with a mix indistinguishable between rain and tears.
Regret surged through her, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
What had she done?!
If a large portion of what she had sent back was false...
At this thought, Li Beauty dared not think any further!!
"Ah——" Li Beauty shouted angrily.
Anger and hatred made her feel an enormous strength surging from within her body.
Looking up again, only hatred and an endless coldness remained in her eyes. She dodged the attack, grabbed the attacker’s arm, seized his hair and, with a swift motion, brought her knee crashing into his forehead.
With force, she threw him away.
Standing in the rain, Li Beauty’s hair was disheveled, her eyes crimson, exuding an infinite coldness.
Seeing this, the others rushed at her in swarms.
The rain ca down heavier and heavier.
Rainwater stread down Li Beauty’s cheeks into her clothes. Every movent she made sent splashes flying.
Her movents were swift and elegant, quite pleasing to the eye.
They clearly hadn’t expected the seemingly frail Li Beauty to fight so well. After exchanging looks, they drew the knives strapped to their backs.
Initially, they thought Li Beauty was simply a woman, not warranting so many of them. They hadn’t expected to be forced into using blades!!
In the quiet alleyway, the sounds of wailing and clashing steel filled the air.
Due to the rain, there had already been few pedestrians on the streets. Hearing the fighting, no one dared to approach.
For a while, the alley beca a perfect battleground.
After seizing a knife, Li Beauty managed to take down several people, but despite her prowess, she was just one person against many hands.
Soon, her stamina gave out, soone slashed her back, and she fell forward onto the ground.
Her crimson blood was instantly washed away by the rain, leaving no trace.
Using the knife to support herself on the ground, she raised her head, her sharp gaze passing over them, slowly standing up again.
Once steady, blood continued to seep from her wounds, trailing down her arm to the knife.
Drop after drop, they fell to the ground with the rain.
"Is this all you’ve got? For Gu Changjun to send a bunch of worthless idiots like you to catch , did he overestimate you or underestimate ?" Li Beauty sneered.
"Provocation won’t work, I advise you not to resist. Co back with us obediently, or you’ll suffer more cuts. Your delicate skin will scar, and then it won’t look good for a young lady." The leader tightened his grip on his knife, speaking coldly.
"Go back with you? What use am I now? Haven’t you extracted enough information from already? Misjudging people was my stupidity! Forget any notion of using for more! If you want to kill or maim, be my guest, but capturing alive is beyond your abilities!!" Li Beauty gathered her hair, disheveled from fighting, pulling it all back despite the pain tugging at her wounds, her brows furrowing.
Looking up again, her fair face bore no other expression.
The speaker signaled the others with a glance, and they charged at Li Beauty.
After prolonged fighting, Li Beauty’s hands began to tremble, her injuries growing more nurous.
The worst was the stab wound on her stomach.
Holding herself up with the knife in one hand, covering the bleeding wound with the other, taking advantage of the mont to stash a specially crafted letter in.
The letter contained, besides what she saw from Gu Changjun, so secrets she discovered, if these ssages got back, there was still hope!
By this ti, Li Beauty’s vision was blurring, relying solely on her willpower to keep her from collapsing.
Five or six remaining people surrounded Li Beauty.
Just then, Gu Changjun arrived with reinforcents, seeing Li Beauty’s injuries filled him with dread, had he been any later...
Gu Changjun yelled angrily, "Who ordered you to do this? Didn’t I say no unauthorized actions?!!"
"Mr. Gu... it was Master Hong who sent us."
The surroundings fell silent instantly as Li Beauty, disoriented, saw Gu Changjun approaching, forcing her battered body to retreat.
As she moved, blood trails were fully exposed on the ground, long marks left behind, her gaze already unfocused, driven by sheer will.
Seeing her reaction, his heart felt as if pierced by a knife, "It’s , I’m Gu Changjun, I’m here, I won’t hurt you, don’t be afraid."
"No, don’t co closer..." Hearing Gu Changjun’s na made Li Beauty instinctively shiver in resistance, wanting to retreat, but her body wouldn’t comply; lying on the ground, she could only mumble.
His body stiffened, stepping forward in two strides, crouching down to one knee, cradling Li Beauty.
Gu Changjun held Li Beauty, whose arms drooped powerlessly, resting against his chest, having fainted completely.
Gu Changjun exuded a chilling aura, his handso face alarmingly grim, as he passed those people, he said coldly, "Leave no one alive!!"
"Yes!"
