A rustling sound came from behind; the ghosts had caught up again.

Han Fenghua: "Mr. Gu, let's go quickly..."

Gu Xu drew his peach wood sword and thrust it forward without warning. Han Fenghua was startled, but her movements were surprisingly fast, and she quickly jumped several meters away.

Such superb skills definitely don't mean he was as weak as he had previously portrayed.

Han Fenghua slowly stood up, looking at Gu Xu with a venomous gaze, "How did you figure that out?"

He didn't realize he had given himself away, and to avoid suspicion, he deliberately dragged Cheng Jingru into the act, manipulating Zhang Xian to play the villain.

With such a meticulous plan, an ordinary person would have panicked long ago, so why didn't this person fall for it?

Gu Xu said calmly, "Why do you think I can control such a large Gu Group at such a young age?"

The Gu Group originated in Free State, where people are not as civilized and polite as they are back home.

Those old guys at the group headquarters are all ruthless and heartless. If he were only relying on his father's legacy, he would have been devoured long ago.

His disdain for underhanded tricks doesn't mean he's truly detached from worldly concerns.

This person aroused his suspicion from the very first word they spoke.

He remained silent, simply to see what the other party's true intentions were.

Han Fenghua laughed, "Even if you see through it, it's no use. Do you think you can escape alive today?"

He looked greedily at the two people in front of him. One had a pure Yin constitution according to the Four Pillars of Destiny, and the other was immune to all evil. Getting either one would be a win, let alone getting both of them together.
