Chapter 225 You Just Wanted to Protect Me

"Choose one. Either Zhaoye pays back the money himself, or you help him pay back the money, or you follow me and the matter will be written off." Mu Liansheng slowly revealed a faint smile.

The wind blew his hair into disarray, and his pale face looked even more elegant in the interweaving of light and shadow. His pupils seemed to be larger than those of ordinary people, with a strange blue hue.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the girl's cheek, but was greeted by Gu Zhaoye's fierce fist.

There was a slight flash of displeasure in Mu Liansheng's eyes, and he took two steps back. He prided himself on being a superior person of noble blood, and it was beneath his dignity to fight in front of so many outsiders.

Gu Zhaoye grabbed Jiang Zhiyue and ran away, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Xinma Lanzhou is a vast province with a large population, complex ethnic groups, and a mixture of different languages, and screams are heard one after another.

Gu Zhaoye wanted to break out of the encirclement, but the thugs behind him immediately caught up with him, with guns on their waists and machetes in their hands.

The extremely sharp tip of the knife quickly cut through the air, creating a series of sparks, and the blade flew straight towards the two of them.

With a clang!

A big knife flew over and pierced the car door.

“Oh my god! They are actually serious——” Gu Zhaoye was shocked, his facial expression was a little stiff.

"If he dares not to pay back the money, kill him." Someone shouted. Gu Zhaoye dodged the knife on the right, and another knife came from the left. He dodged in time and pushed Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue looked back and saw that the station was in chaos. The thugs didn't care whether innocent people would be hurt.

With a clang!

Seeing another knife breaking through the air and flying straight towards Gu Zhaoye's face, Jiang Zhiyue rushed over without hesitation, but someone was faster than her. He grabbed Gu Zhaoye's collar and pulled him to the side.

The man tilted his head, and the meter-long machete passed by him and was nailed to the wall behind him, several inches into the wall, and even the handle was shaking.

The strong wind blew across the man's face, but he remained calm and didn't even frown.

"She doesn't choose anything." The voice seemed to be immersed in ice, but it carried an authority that could not be questioned.

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for two seconds and looked at him in surprise.

Qin Si walked out coldly, like a demon god, wearing a straight black coat and leather gloves.

He looks like a guy who is not easy to mess with.

The bald man in the lead swallowed his saliva and subconsciously put down the knife in his hand.

Mu Liansheng's expression was gloomy. He just watched the man appear and lean towards Jiang Zhiyue. The gloom in his eyes darkened.

A few minutes later, the station was filled with wailing.

Everyone looked at Qin Si in fear.

...

In the casino in the heart of the desert, in Golden City.

The magnificent decoration is reflected in rows of golden gambling tables, on which are placed various gambling utensils, all of which are luxurious containers made of gold.

Under the flashing lights, the place was crowded with well-dressed gamblers walking around in the dazzling venue.

Everyone handed their weapons to the waiter at the door for safekeeping.

Jiang Zhiyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qin Si to offer to accompany her to the casino to pay back the money. The only banknotes left in his hand were just enough for her to buy a stack of weights to help her turn the tables.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to believe in conspiracy theories, but she had to.

"Master Qin, are you clear about the rules here? Just make the decision for me. If I lose, I will have to pay for it myself."

"Do you have a better idea?" the man looked cold.

Jiang Zhiyue choked.

Qin Si said coldly, "Then just listen to me." and strode forward.

An indescribable sense of weirdness surged in Jiang Zhiyue's heart.

Since arriving in these places, Qin Si has been behaving very mysteriously, especially when he is in the hotel, leaving early and returning late, and his whereabouts are erratic.

She was not curious about what he was doing outside. The bullet left in the bathroom undoubtedly exposed the dangerous nature of his work.

At this time, Mu Liansheng also appeared...

He was familiar with the casino. The bright light in the hall shone on him, and his face was full of a gentle smile, but the smile looked incongruous no matter how you looked at it.

"How come the young master lost so much?" Jiang Zhiyue's voice was very soft. After she said this, the two men did not react.

Gu Zhaoye was almost angry to death, "I didn't gamble, I eat steamed buns every day, where would I get the money to play!" He was so wronged!

He felt something was wrong. The Mu family and the Qin family were a strategic alliance. Among the six major families, these two families had the closest cooperation. The business involved was broad and shady. They were at the center of the storm right now. Who knew what these two were secretly planning?

Gu Zhaoye doesn't like being an heir because he hates these dark-minded guys.

There was something wrong in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue said softly, "Master, are you okay?"

Gu Zhaoye always felt that something was wrong. When he got upstairs, he scratched his hair in annoyance and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you familiar with Qin Si? He didn't even want to accompany Bai Yanzhu to buy a ring, but he came with you to help me pay back the money?"

Jiang Zhiyue didn't dare tell her that she was in the same group with Qin Si. In the past, Qin Si would never even look at her, so why would he accompany her to the casino? Maybe Qin Si had ulterior motives, but in Gu Zhaoye's intuitive thinking, Qin Si's behavior was extremely weird.

She said, "Aren't you and Young Master Qin friends?"

Gu Zhaoye stared at her closely.

Mu Liansheng raised an eyebrow in the direction of Jiang Zhiyue, with an unpredictable smile on his face, and rarely said anything.

Jiang Zhiyue looked calm.

Qin Si's fighting power is terrifying, and Mu Liansheng's conspiracy is terrifying. If he can plot against Gu Zhaoye, he can plot against all of them. What is his purpose? Is it just to take revenge on Gu Zhaoye?

If those knives had landed on Gu Zhaoye, Mu Liansheng, as the instigator, would have been in trouble, but he didn't care at all. He stood at a distance and watched, tilting his head and giving her a malicious smile.

"When did Golden City start to see more foreign investment?" Jiang Zhiyue asked quietly.

She didn't expect Gu Zhaoye to answer. Seeing that she was thoughtful, Gu Zhaoye slowly held her hand.

Gu Zhaoye had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and his big hand clasped her fingers tightly.

"You were trying to protect me."

Jiang Zhiyue recalled the terrifying scene. If Qin Si had not acted in time, it would be hard to say what would have happened to Gu Zhaoye.

"Master Qin protected you."

Gu Zhaoye's face suddenly turned dark.

Qin Si paused for unknown reasons. Mu Liansheng walked side by side with him, her lips like rose petals showing a charming smile.

The girl's sincere expression and gentle tone really made her look like a little white rabbit, except for a sharp-tongued, black-hearted rabbit who would make people angry to death. But her smile was so gentle that even though Gu Zhaoye was so angry that his teeth were itching, he could only hold back his anger in vain.
