Chapter 229: The Descendant of Loyalty Gu Chan moved her feet away from the black-clothed man's chest, reached out to grab his collar, and pulled him up from the ground like a chicken. The man in black was frightened by the beating and begged for mercy, "Little hero, spare my life. I was deceived. I hope you can show mercy." "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm just asking you now, do you want to cooperate with me?" Gu Chan said coldly. "Cooperate, definitely cooperate." How could the man in black dare not disobey. Gu Chan threw him directly into the lobby with a swipe of her hand. "boom!" The man in black fell to the floor of the lobby with a loud bang. He lay on the ground grimacing in pain. Gu Chan held back her laughter and walked in. She sat down on the chair in front of him like a big boss, looked at the white smoke filling the building and said, "Get rid of this smoke for me first." "It will dissipate tomorrow morning. The effect of this smoke can only last for one night. It can only make people unconscious but cannot kill them." The man in black said while lying on the ground. Gu Chan felt at ease.
As long as the smoke doesn't endanger the lives of Ouyang Wan'er and others, she will be willing to say anything. The man in black slowly got up from the ground, limped to the chair next to him and sat down. After taking a few breaths, he sighed and said, "I can't believe it! You are so strong at such a young age. If I'm not mistaken, you have at least the strength of the third level of physical skills." "I have level four physical skills." Gu Chan said. "No wonder you are so powerful. I am only at level two in physical skills. I am no match for you at all! Damn Xu Renjie, you made me get beaten up. I am so mad at you." The man in black said angrily. Now he completely understood the gap between himself and Gu Chan, and he didn't want to struggle anymore. Gu Chan was too lazy to listen to his complaints, she glared at him and said, "Take off the mask on your face." "Okay, okay, I'll take it off." The man in black responded hurriedly, and then quickly took off the half mask on his face. After the mask was removed, Gu Chan could see clearly that the man was no more than twenty years old, not very old, and even looked a little immature. He had a pointy face and big, pretty eyes. Overall, he couldn't be said to have a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, but rather looked a bit like the modern young handsome guy with an oval face. This guy is definitely not very handsome, but he does have a pretty good appearance. At first glance, she didn't dislike his appearance, so Gu Chan calmed down and asked, "Where are you from?" "Manager Gu, my name is Wei Xing, and I'm from Kyoto. My father is Wei Tao, the former Minister of Rites of Tiancang Kingdom. Half a year ago, my Wei family was harmed by a villain, which resulted in the whole family being exiled to the border. My father and mother died during the exile due to old age. Other members of my Wei family also suffered torture on the border and died one after another!" Wei Xing said sincerely. Gu Chan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy. You know, her predecessor was also exiled to the border. She knew best what the situation was like on the way to exile. It was a pity that, as Wei Xing said, all the family members who were exiled to the border with her did not have a good ending and eventually all died on the border. The fact that Wei Xing was able to survive on his own shows that he has a strong will. Wei Xing added, "If I hadn't wanted to avenge my father, I wouldn't have managed to survive until now. Fortunately, there is always a way out. When the Earth Moon Nation's army invaded the border and besieged the Tiger Army, I took advantage of the chaos to escape. In order to make a living, I had no choice but to pretend to be Batman. I hope Manager Gu will understand." "Okay, I understand what you've been through. So to put it this way, you can still be considered a loyal and honest person. Don't take the beating I just gave you seriously. We can say that we are strangers to each other now." Gu Chan said with a smile. Wei Xing saw that her attitude had softened, and he finally relaxed a little. The point was that he really couldn't beat Gu Chan, and if he angered this little evildoer again and beat him up again, he really couldn't stand it. Gu Chan did not dwell on this issue any further, and instead said, "Since Xu Renjie sent you to kill me, it proves that he was the one who sent people to burn down my clinic last night." "It wasn't me who burned down your clinic, so don't blame me for this." Wei Xing explained quickly.
"I didn't commit the crime against you, so why are you afraid? I'll pretend to be dying, and you can carry me to Xu's house to see Xu Renjie and ask him for 100,000 taels of silver..." "Ah? One hundred thousand taels? Can he give so much?" Before Gu Chan could finish her words, Wei Xing was so shocked that he interrupted her. Gu Chan chuckled and said, "You are silly! He definitely won't want to give so much, but if you give him some eye drops, I guarantee he will give it to you obediently." "Put on eye drops?" Wei Xing wondered. Gu Chan immediately walked up to him with a wicked smile and put her mouth close to his ear and whispered softly. Wei Xing frowned at first, but when Gu Chan finished, he immediately smiled and almost jumped for joy. He even gave Gu Chan a thumbs up and praised her, "You are worthy of being Shopkeeper Gu. You are really amazing." "Then you rest for a while and heal your injuries. I'll carry my wife upstairs and let her lie down before coming down." Gu Chan said. Wei Xing nodded repeatedly. Gu Chan turned and walked towards Ouyang Wan'er, holding her and walking upstairs. Walking up the stairs, Gu Chan couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This girl is so light! She may be less than 90 kilograms. She can't be too thin! I have to make her plump and white. It seems I have to treat her better in the future." After saying that, Gu Chan quickened her pace and soon came to the room on the fourth floor carrying Ouyang Wan'er. After putting Ouyang Wan'er on the soft bed and covering her with a quilt, Gu Chan went downstairs with peace of mind and went to Xu's house with Wei Xing. When Gu Chan and Wei Xing arrived at the backyard of Xu's mansion in the wealthy area of the East District, under the tall courtyard wall, it was already the second half of the night. In another hour, it would be dawn. Gu Chan whispered, "We have to hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up when daybreak comes." "You have to act conscientiously at that moment and not reveal your true identity," Wei Xing reminded. "Don't worry, I'm the best actor." Gu Chan said with a smile. After saying that, she leaned directly onto Wei Xing's shoulder and secretly activated her physical skills, making her body as flexible as a snake. In this way, she looked as if she had been beaten half to death, and her whole body was limp and powerless. Wei Xing carried her to her feet. Seeing that she was pretending to be really dying, he couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my! You really acted like it! Good acting skills." "Hurry up and go in, and stop talking nonsense." Gu Chan urged unhappily. Wei Xing laughed dryly twice, then he became serious, carried her on his back, jumped over the tall courtyard wall, and sneaked into Xu's house. (End of this chapter)
