Chapter 245 I Can Protect My Sister

Gu Yulin glanced at Lu Jingxiao and gave him a meaningful look: "Want to chat?"

"Let's go downstairs for a drink."

This means they agree.

The three of them sat downstairs, and Gu Yulin got straight to the point: "Third brother, you know the nature of the Gu family. If you can't protect Weiwei, then... hand her over to us. At least until we resolve this problem, we can guarantee Weiwei's safety."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiao merely took a sip of his wine with an arrogant and aloof demeanor, not even sparing Gu Yulin a glance: "Are you sure you can protect Weiwei?"

He looked at Gu Beixiao, who didn't seem worried at all.

The men of the Gu family always have the ability to protect themselves, no matter what. Why did Uncle Gu stop getting married after having a relationship with a woman? Why did Uncle Gu protect his aunt so fiercely? And why was the old lady always by the old man's side?

Besides being loving, the most important thing for them is to protect the women in their families.

Among Gu Yulin's generation, Luo Zhiwei was the only girl, and therefore of utmost importance.

To put it bluntly, the worst that can happen to a man is death.

However, the people the Gu family offends have many ways to punish women.

That would be worse than death.

Most importantly, all the men in the Gu family are skilled in martial arts, and even Gu Beixiao himself has trained.

Otherwise, that Mrs. Gu would have killed him long ago.

How could Gu Beixiao possibly live that long?

"I don't understand, what do you mean?"

Gu Beixiao had just returned to the Gu family and was still unfamiliar with some things, so he couldn't quite understand what the two were saying in cryptic terms.

"Bei Xiao, it's like this: besides their business dealings, the Gu family has a hidden agenda—carrying out clandestine missions for the greater good of the nation, whether it's embezzlement or other murder cases..."

"The Gu family has a dedicated intelligence network to gather information and they frequently go on missions, both domestically and internationally. As long as the country needs us, we must obey all orders."

Gu Beixiao: "..."

Is this another way of serving the people?

Isn't that Taiwan?

No wonder you have enemies; you do things that offend people, so you can't do without enemies.

The Gu family likes girls, but they don't dare to actually have a daughter because...

Gu Yulin didn't say much, only that his grandfather's sister died at the hands of his enemies and was tortured beyond recognition.

He didn't elaborate further, worried that Gu Beixiao wouldn't be able to accept it.

"You'll also start getting involved in the Gu family's affairs in the next couple of days, and you'll know everything. We don't have any other major tasks right now. Before Weiwei's identity is revealed, we need to ensure Weiwei's safety."

Gu Beixiao's face instantly darkened: "Then what's the point of you being so insistent on taking us home?"

"They were all murders committed without cause."

Gu Yulin: "......"

I'm fucking... I actually think you're right.

"You can't say that. Your identities are pretty much known in the industry. Only by revealing your identities will the enemy have something to consider and think twice before making a move. Otherwise... if they make a move and we don't even know what's going on, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Gu Beixiao: "..."

I kind of regret getting involved with them.

Weiwei is a delicate girl. If something were to happen to her, how would he explain it to his mother?

Lu Jingxiao suggested in a deep voice, a very sincere suggestion: "Weiwei and I should get married. This is the safest thing for Weiwei."

"It's not so easy to mess with the Lu family."

Anyone who dares to harm him will be killed, no matter where they are!

Gu Yulin: "......"

Your intentions are good, but don't start yet.

They're easy targets for beatings.

"Let's take it one step at a time. The family reunion banquet is ready. The Gu family's children must return to the Gu family." Gu Yulin couldn't help but snort at Lu Jingxiao: "My sister, I can protect her."

You don't need to worry about it.

Lu Jingxiao was quite assertive. He stood up and said, "Weiwei is mine. She will marry me sooner or later."

He then left.

The next day, the group got up early to watch the sunrise, but the weather turned bad; suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Zhiwei was somewhat disappointed; she had waited all night, but couldn't see anything.

She suddenly remembered the important matter and looked up at Lu Jingxiao: "My two brothers didn't make things difficult for you yesterday, did they? Are you... are you alright?"

"What can they do to me? All they can do is tell me to take good care of you and that if I bully you, they'll punish me."

There's no need for Weiwei to know so much about those upsetting things; she just needs to live happily.

Just have some safety awareness.

Luo Zhiwei was relieved to know that his brothers hadn't made things difficult for him.

But... she felt something was off, as if someone was missing.

Gu Youran noticed something was wrong: "Yuxin, where's your man?"

Then everyone realized that Chris hadn't shown up.

Bai Yuxin was a little disappointed and looked dejected: "He left last night to go back to the US to handle some matters. His mission was to bring me back safely."

He didn't trust anyone else, and she didn't want to go with anyone else either.

With so many news reports of people being kidnapped at airports and on airplanes, Chris worried that if he wasn't personally involved, his subordinates might be opportunistic and not as dedicated as he thought.

Chris said he would go crazy if anything happened to her.

Therefore, he was willing to go through the extra trouble to safely deliver the person to his cousin before he could leave with peace of mind.

Otherwise... they just returned to China yesterday, and should be resting properly instead of chasing us up the mountain.

Chris didn't trust anyone; he only felt at ease when he entrusted people to his cousin.

Lu Jingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "He sent me a message before he left, asking me to take care of you. During this time... don't go out around. Just stay at the old house."

Bai Yuxin whined and complained, but now she had no choice but to agree. She had no other option but to rely on her brother.

Her voice was muffled: "I know."

Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly and walked to Bai Yuxin's side: "If you don't want to stay in the old house, then... come with us and go to work with me every day, how about it?"

Lu Jingxiao: "???"

He suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Luo Zhiwei in shock.

Baby, do you know what you're saying?!

Bai Yuxin lives in a villa, how are we supposed to have some alone time?

After Wang Ma cooks the meal and cleans up the kitchen, she can go to her staff room and basically won't appear again.

If Bai Yuxin moves in... wouldn't that mean there's someone around all the time?

Bai Yuxin, however, got excited and looked at Luo Zhiwei with bright eyes: "Really?"

This was originally exciting news, but... when she turned to look at Lu Jingxiao, she immediately demonstrated what it means to have a 'disappearing smile'.

"Forget it, sister-in-law. I think the old house is fine. I'll spend more time with my aunt these days. My parents are also at home, and I'll go back to see them occasionally."

Chris entrusted her to his cousin because he felt that even his parents might not be able to protect her, and that she might even threaten their personal safety.

Since her cousin arranged for her to stay at the old house, she should go there.

Most importantly... she didn't want to face Lu Jingxiao's sour face every day at the Lu Group. He rarely looked pleasant at work.

She decided not to join in the fun.

Lu Jingxiao snorted arrogantly, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

"Okay, whatever you want. Come over anytime you want. I'm home here."

"I know, cousin-in-law, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
