  Hence, the little one looked at Jiang Qimeng sympathetically and said, “Auntie, please let me go quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be in really deep trouble!”


  Jiang Qimeng was speechless.

  Baby Chu seemed to pity her. He added, “Not only does this uncle kill without batting an eye, his methods are also really terrifying! Please don’t misunderstand! Uncle and I have very little to do with each other, and I’m not that important to him. Don’t take things too hard and use me to threaten him. It’s quite useless.”


  “.……”


  “You’ll only suffer a more horrible death.”


  Butler Fu was confused.

  This little one, for some reason, was quite convincing and made this whole nervous situation look as though it was nothing.

  Jiang Qimeng shrieked, “Shut up!”


  Gu Jinglian warned, “Jiang Qimeng, do you think you can threaten me with this child? I’ll give you three seconds to let him go.”


  “Gu Jinglian, do you think I’ll believe your nonsense again? Or……”


  Gu Jinglian interrupted her and began his countdown, “1.”


  “You……”


  “2.”


  Jiang Qimeng was so frightened that she staggered backward. Gu Jinglian raised an eyebrow and counted to three. With a sharp crack, a gunshot was fired. A bullet tore through the air in a straight line and pierced right through her shoulder.

  “Ah……”


  The woman dropped her hand involuntarily from the sharp pain and the dagger fell to the ground. Baby Chu immediately broke free from her and jumped out of her restraining grasp. He did not forget to stomp on her foot before running towards Gu Jinglian.

  Behind him, Jiang Qimeng immediately got up, retrieved the dagger lying on the ground, and directed a stab at Xiaobao’s back!

  Butler Fu was so shocked that he his mouth fell open. But before he could even let out a cry of surprise, Gu Jinglian suddenly lunged forward from the side and drew Baby Chu into his protective embrace while delivering a neat flying kick. Jiang Qimeng ruthlessly swung her dagger.

  In that split second, Gu Jinglian’s vicious kick landed squarely on Jiang Qimeng’s shoulder and sent her hurtling, while the blade of the dagger sliced into Gu Jinglian’s arm, which was protecting Baby Chu.

  While Gu Jinglian did not notice that he had been injured, Baby Chu’s sharp eyes noticed that his shirt was stained with blood and torn. Seeing that the man appeared to be injured, the horrified boy said, “Uncle, you’re injured……”


  He felt both guilty and worried.

  Butler Fu hurried over and took the child from Gu Jinglian’s hands. He was shocked when he noticed the abnormality on his arm.

  “Old master, you’re injured. Let me see, where are you hurt?”


  Gu Jinglian had never put himself in danger easily, but this was the first time he had been injured, and it was because of this child.

  Gu Jinglian pushed the elderly man away and turned around to glare at Jiang Qimeng. “You’re courting death.”


  With that, he walked forward, grabbed her throat and lifted her up.

  Even though his arm was injured, it didn’t seem to diminish his strength.

  Jiang Qimeng’s legs were suspended in the air as her neck was being pinched in his hand. Cracking sounds could be heard as her joints were dislocated. She grabbed his arm tightly as her legs kicked wildly. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face turned purplish. She was on the verge of suffocating.

  “No…… no…… don’t…… don’t kill……”


  Jiang Qimeng struggled to utter a few words, her eyes filled with pain and despair.

  However, Gu Jinglian was unmoved and tightened his grip on her throat. When Baby Chu saw this scene, he was terrified and immediately cried out, “Uncle, stop!”


  Butler Fu was a little surprised when Baby Chu broke free from his embrace. He ran to Gu Jinglian and put his arms around the man’s leg…… “Uncle, let her go! Don’t kill her.”
