Zhong Yao stood up and locked her gaze on Gu Man. She walked over carefully. At this moment, Gu Man was protecting Xiao Xiao behind her. She stared at the two men who were gradually approaching her and made a defensive posture. Spiritual energy kept circulating in her body to make up for her lost stamina. Although Gu Man’s spiritual power had been a lot more abundant after this period of cultivation, these men came from a professional bodyguard company, so it was still a little difficult to deal with them.
Coupled with the fact that she had someone to protect behind her at all times, she was a little restrained.
However, the time was getting closer and closer. It was time for it to end.
She looked in the direction of the door through the gap between the bodyguards. Because everyone’s attention was focused here, no one noticed that someone had already sneaked in from the door.
Gu Man and Xiang Yin’s gazes met in midair for a moment before leaving quickly. The two of them had already reached a tacit agreement.
She let out a long breath and stared at the man in front of her. The men also rushed up in an instant. Gu Man quickly kicked one of them in the chest.
Then, she grabbed the other man’s collar, pulled him closer to her, and hit his abdomen with her knee.
The moment the man fell to the ground, a silver dagger stabbed at him. Gu Man quickly dodged, but the dagger still brushed past her arm. Immediately, a tear appeared in her clothes and bright red blood seeped out.
Because of the hatred in her heart, Zhong Yao attacked very quickly. Without any hesitation, she panted heavily. In order to make Gu Rou completely believe her, she was prepared to attack again.
However, Gu Man had already attacked first and hit her wrist hard. The dagger instantly fell to the ground.
Even so, Zhong Yao still rushed over unarmed. Gu Man turned around and raised her hand to hit her back hard. The strong force made Zhong Yao fall to the ground instantly. Her strength was even less than a tenth of those bodyguards.
The remaining few people were easier to deal with. Seeing that Gu Man was injured, Xiang Yin stopped hiding and quickly walked over.
The sudden man caught everyone off guard. He came to Gu Man’s side and hugged her shoulder. His subordinates quickly controlled the others.
Xiao Xiao was sent to the hospital by his men.
However, he carefully avoided the wound. Xiang Yin looked at the wound that was bleeding non-stop with heartache.
Gu Rou saw Xiang Yin’s face clearly and her face instantly turned pale. She almost subconsciously said, “Mr. Xiang, why are you here?”
But as soon as she finished speaking, a cold gaze landed on Gu Rou, making her heart stop for a moment.
Gu Rou subconsciously pursed her lips and looked at them in a daze.
Zhong Yao still did not know who the person in front of her was. She struggled to get up from the ground. The only belief in her heart was that she could not let Gu Rou suspect her.
She relied on the Gu family for all her life now. If Gu Rou did not want her to continue living in the Gu family, she would really have nowhere to go.
Now that everything she enjoyed would leave her, Zhong Yao could not accept it. Wasn’t this the reason why she hated Gu Man so much?
She raised her hand and just as she straightened up, she was ruthlessly stepped on.
Gu Man looked down at her. “When will a pitiful person who depends on others to live be able to recognize the truth?”
Zhong Yao’s heart trembled because of these words. Then, she looked up and glared at Gu Man fiercely. “Don’t try to sow discord between us. I’m not an ingrate like you.”
Hearing Zhong Yao’s curses, Gu Man’s face was expressionless. She only sneered. “Do you really think you will have a future? How many years do you think you’ll be sentenced to for intentional murder and kidnapping?”
Zhong Yao’s long fingertips stabbed into her palm. Then, she stared at Gu Man firmly. “You won’t do that. The Gu family is also your home. If you destroy the Gu family, you’ll have nothing. You say that I’m a pitiful person who depends on others to live. You’re the pitiful one..”
