nd, he said, "Don't let down the kindness of others."He didn't linger, strode out the door, and was ready to leave.The steward saw Lin Jinran come out in less than a minute, was taken aback for a mome...The people who had been on standby all around, upon receiving Heilingxiu's signal, drew iron rods from behind their waists, gripped them tightly in their hands, and started to approach Gu Liechen.
Gu Liechen's lips curled into a helpless smile. "But I, I don't want to die yet. If I have to die, I want it after I've spent my whole life with her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him surged forward, countless sticks raining down on Gu Liechen.
Meanwhile, where Gu Liechen stood, a sudden blinding light flashed, followed by white smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder.
People holding sticks retreated one after another, fearing it might be some kind of medicine and they would get hurt.
Hei Lingxiu's eyes narrowed. He had indeed come prepared.
"Beware of trickery!" he shouted.
In the haze, a car's headlights suddenly flared to life and sped straight ahead. The person standing in front of the car immediately stepped back to avoid being hit, and everyone chased after the car.
The vehicle didn't drive out, instead it crashed straight into the wall, making a tremendous impact sound.
Immediately, someone went to check and found that there was no one in the driver's seat. The accelerator pedal had been stepped on, indicating that Gu Liechen had just started the vehicle, causing it to run away unmanned.
Everyone turned their heads to look in the distance. As the smoke cleared, Gu Liechen's figure ran in the opposite direction of them.
"Chase."
Some people ran towards Gu Liechen's direction, while others went to start their vehicles and chase after him.
In a matter of just a few seconds, Gu Liechen's people had already rushed out the door and ran into the nearby woods.
With so many people, if he just charges in headfirst, he'll definitely be overwhelmed by a barrage of attacks and tire out eventually, leaving him defeated.
It's better to run first. Even if he gets caught in the end, that group of people wouldn't all rush up. His chances of winning are still very high.
The roads in the forest are difficult to navigate, and it's impossible to drive a car in. It is extremely physically demanding.
However, Gu Lie didn't expect that the people Hei Lingxiu had been monitoring in advance hadn't left. The moment he ran towards the forest, Hei Lingxiu had already given the order.
Those who came to rescue him were afraid of alarming the suspect and didn't get too close. Wù Lièchēn only ran in the forest for about 10 minutes before being blocked ahead. He had to change direction and run towards the road.
After he got onto the road, he was quickly exposed.
Gu Liechen looked at the people surrounding him, knowing that this fight was unavoidable.
He reached into his pocket to take out the firework, but he couldn't find a lighter.
He probably dropped it while running earlier. Looks like he'll have to tough it out until the rescue arrives.
The only blessing is that this group of people doesn't have guns.
The iron rod whooshed toward him, and Gu Liechen, instinctively bending down and flipping backward, narrowly dodged it.
Another person came at him with an iron rod, so he had to jump again to dodge it.
His eyes fell on one man, slender in build. Gu Lie gave a sideways flip and approached him, delivering a palm strike like a blade to snatch the man's long staff. He used it to block the attacks of the other men wielding their staffs.
Having a weapon in hand allows him to block attacks with more agility. But facing a horde of people alone, he was still at a disadvantage. He took quite a few hits and his stamina began to deplete.
Finally, he was a step too slow, unable to block the baton aimed at his leg. With a thud, he knelt on one knee, his back pounded by a flurry of blows.
Gu Liechen tried to stand up again, but it was impossible. He didn't know whose club had hit the back of his head with a thud.
Suddenly, he felt a blackness before his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.ould happen if the mistress asked.Then the steward sighed and said, "Madam, your husband is in hospital.""What" Lin Jinran was startled. Yesterday, Ye Xiao's complexion wasn't very good, but it wasn't...
