Chapter 209 Let Me Protect You

Although the Gu family is doomed, the internal struggle has never stopped.

Those people felt that Gu Mucheng was an eyesore and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

The cars on the periphery quickly surrounded the car in the middle, and the Gu family's car was forced to stop.

Many men in black suits got out of the cars that were blocking the way. They were obviously well-trained and methodical bodyguards. They were walking step by step towards the center.

At this time, Su Mi saw the door of the middle car open.

Gu Mucheng stepped out with his long legs. He was wearing a dark grey suit and holding a black umbrella. He looked calmly at the people coming over from all around.

He seemed to have anticipated today's situation and was very calm.

Su Mi's heart tightened. It seemed that he was really planning to give up.

Yes, seeing the Gu family become what it is now, for him, death would probably be a relief.

At this time, two older men walked out from behind the uniformed bodyguards.

They walked up to Gu Mucheng and didn't know what they said, but it was obviously not a peaceful communication. Su Mi saw that Gu Mucheng's face turned very ugly, and from his lip movements, it seemed that he was saying, "Let's do it."

The two men raised their hands, and the bodyguards behind them rushed forward in an instant.

Gu Mucheng was accompanied by only a driver and an assistant. They stood in front of Gu Mucheng, ready to fight with the more than 20 bodyguards.

How can we possibly win?

Su Mi peeled off the hair tie from her wrist, raised her arm and tied up her loose hair neatly. Her eyes were fixed on the movement over there, and she said to the people behind her, "Let's go help."

"Yes, young lady."

Ahead, in the midst of a chaotic fight, someone was still waiting for urgent rescue. Su Mi's steps were quick, splashing water everywhere.

She rushed into the crowd without hesitation, her figure as nimble as a swallow, and faced the enemy with ruthless attacks.

The situation was reversed because of the joining of Su Mi and others.

Gu Muqing had just knocked down a few people, and when he saw her suddenly appear, he was obviously stunned, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Go away, this is none of your business!"

Su Mi ignored him and kicked one of the men in the chest, forcing him back several steps.

Then she dodged to the side, avoiding the other person's attack, and at the same time swung a fierce punch, hitting the other person's cheek hard. The rain slid down her arm, but could not stop her fierce attack.

After dealing with a few people, she came to his side with her flexible movement.

The two leaned back and faced the people who were surrounding them with fierce eyes, "Brother Mu Qing, giving up on yourself is not your style."

"Qingqing, leave me alone and leave with your people."

After saying that, Gu Muqing protected her and shouted, "Hurry up."

His driver and assistant had been knocked down.

The few people brought by Su Mi were fighting against the dozen or so bodyguards.

The remaining few gathered around them.

Su Mi didn't leave, looking at his back, "You have always protected me, this time it's my turn to protect you."

After saying that, she rushed out without caring about his expression.

The rain falls like a curtain, pouring down wantonly.

She resolutely rushed into the middle of several bodyguards, her hair instantly wet by the rain, sticking tightly to her cheeks, her eyes firm and sharp, locking onto each target, and then attacking quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Her figure shuttled through the rain like an unstoppable lightning, and every movement was full of power and speed.

Gu Mucheng almost forgot that Qingqing had received strict special training from her uncle. It was difficult for others to gain an advantage over her, but there were too many people on the other side, and it would be impossible to keep fighting for a long time.

Seeing how desperately she tried to protect him, and being infected by her actions, he temporarily forgot to think about other things. He quickly joined the camp and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. Soon, the two of them knocked down more than half of the people.

The two middle-aged men over there were Gu Mucheng's uncles. They both recognized Su Mi and realized that the Su family was determined to protect him to the end.

Thinking of the backers behind her, they couldn't afford to offend her. Looking at the current situation, they knew they were already at a disadvantage. They waved their hands and retreated with their men.

Finally the person left.

The people brought by Su Mi helped Gu Mucheng's driver and assistant into the car.

Su Mi felt a little exhausted and sat down directly on the spot.

Gu Muqing sat with his back to her, leaning his back against her, and neither of them cared about the heavy rain.

At this moment under the rain, their souls seemed to be comforting and relying on each other.

"Qingqing, you shouldn't have come."

"Why shouldn't you come? Is it because I didn't let you die here as you wished?"

"Qingqing!!" His face showed the helplessness of having his heart touched.

"I won't let you die."

"The ending is already determined, my dear. We can't change anything."

"Who says the ending is predetermined?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Mi looked up at the sky, letting the rain hit her face. "There's more to this world than just love."

"Brother Mu Qing, I truly regard you as my brother. You are my family and a very important person to me, so I must save you."

Su Mi thought that the moment his system asked him to make a choice, it meant that his mission was actually for himself.

Her original mission was to change Xiao Xuanjin, and she did not have the right to choose freely. However, Gu Mucheng had the right to choose and could choose the target of his attack. So it was obvious that this mission was not to change others, but to change himself.

The system already knew that he would choose her, and also knew that his mission would not succeed, so the system's purpose could not have been just to kill time and watch others fail.

If Gu Mucheng had chosen someone else, the situation would not be like this now.

Gu Mucheng said that he had experienced failure. Su Mi deduced that the system was more like a way for him to get out of this relationship, learn to let go, and then seek his own happiness.

Only when he figures this out, can he be considered to have completed his mission.

Now that she had deduced this, she wanted to give it a try.

"Qingqing, I know you only treat me as a brother, and I shouldn't cross the line."

"Brother Mu Qing, you think too highly of me. Perhaps you're just obsessed with me. For example, if we were really together, you'd find that I have many flaws. As time went on, you might even get tired of me. Then you'd realize that what you like is just a fantasy conceived in your mind, and the figure you're chasing is just a puppet driven by obsession."

After experiencing failure, he will only be more eager to win, not the person he cares about. All the things he did, such as blocking the car for her, were also done with the purpose of conquering her. Perhaps even he himself can't tell whether it is because of love or reluctance, or just for the mission.

Love should be warm and inclusive, not a sense of conquest or plunder.

Su Mi looked up and saw a car parked not far away. Xiao Xuanjin was standing beside the car, leaning against it and looking in her direction.

There was a curtain of rain between them, but Su Mi could deeply feel their approaching heartbeats, which were in unison.

She stood up and looked back at Gu Muqing, "Brother Muqing, think about it carefully. I believe you can figure it out."
