"Xu Feng!"

Zhong Lin stepped forward and quickly helped Xu Feng up.

At the same time, Mingyu arrived late, brought by Xu Yunzhi's men. Seeing that Xu Feng had already fainted, Mingyu hurriedly ran to Gu Shuyan's side.

"Take Xu Feng to the clinic first."

Gu Shuyan shook her head at Mingyu to indicate that she was alright, and Mingyu and Zhong Lin immediately helped Xu Feng leave.

Once only a few people remained, Gu Shuyan coldly glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground before slowly walking up to Xu Yunzhi.

"I can pretend you knew nothing about what happened today, but I'm taking this woman with me."

Gu Shuyan's words were utterly blunt, and her eyes, fixed on Xu Yunzhi, were devoid of any emotion. If Yun Yichen hadn't arrived in time, she and Xu Feng would both be dead.

Gu Shuyan never imagined that she would one day almost be defeated by a woman she had never met. If she were to die here today, wouldn't her rebirth be a huge joke?

Therefore, Gu Shuyan's tone was cold and ruthless in her anger, and her unyielding manner made the other woman resentful.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to the young master like that?"

Blood seeped from the corner of the woman's lips, and her body slumped to the ground like a rag doll, yet she still forced her head up and spoke harshly to Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan didn't even bother to roll her eyes at her, but simply looked calmly at Xu Yunzhi, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

What if I say no?

Xu Yunzhi originally had no intention of letting these two disobedient dogs off the hook. But seeing Gu Shuyan's aggressive demeanor, especially with Yun Yichen leaning against her behind her, Xu Yunzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Why is it that at a time like this, Yun Yichen can stand by her side as her protector, while she can only stand on the opposite side?

"If they don't give it to me, I'll just kill them. I believe that with my abilities, killing a mere fourth-tier assassin is more than enough."

Yun Yichen's tone was extremely domineering, and he even pulled Gu Shuyan into his arms in front of the three of them.

Their eyes met instantly, and countless exchanges took place in the blink of an eye. Finally, Xu Yunzhi gritted his teeth in reluctance, raised his hand, and took the man away.

The woman was completely taken aback that Xu Yunzhi would abandon her so easily. She had been overjoyed when he said he wouldn't hand her over, even wondering if she still held a place in his heart.

But it was only at this moment that she realized that in her master's heart, she was no different from any other assassin. If she disobeyed her master's orders, she could be ruthlessly abandoned in an instant.

The woman remained lost in thought for a long time, gazing in the direction Xu Yunzhi had left.

"Still watching? It's just a pity your master doesn't intend to take you."

Gu Shuyan spoke coldly, looking at the woman as if she were a dead person.

Is it worth it to sacrifice yourself for a man?

Gu Shuyan spoke gently as she slowly approached the woman, accompanied by Yun Yichen. Seeing their cold gazes, the woman unconsciously shrank back.

"What are you going to do?" The woman did not answer Gu Shuyan's question, because she already regretted it. She had put herself in such a desperate situation for a man, and she was already filled with remorse.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to regret it, because Gu Shuyan had no intention of letting her go.

"Brother Yun, isn't it a pity to let her die like this?"

When Gu Shuyan looked at Yun Yichen, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. Seeing her mischievous look, Yun Yichen couldn't help but gently tap her forehead.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let her die so easily."

After Yun Yichen finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and immediately a bodyguard appeared and knelt in front of Yun Yichen.

"Take her back, and remember not to let her die." Yun Yichen's words were chilling. Despite the bright sunshine, both the woman and the guards couldn't help but shiver. In an instant, the guards had already taken the woman away.

Once only the two of them were left, Yun Yichen pulled Gu Shuyan into his arms.

Now Gu Shuyan has grown to about chest height, and when he hugged her, she snuggled right into his arms.

"When something like this happens, don't you know to just go to the restaurant to find me? You could take a longer route, and you're not worried about what if I can't make it in time?"

Yun Yichen was terrified. The thought that if he had been a step slower, Gu Shuyan would have been killed by those assassins made his heart pound.

“I know I’m taking a risk, but if I do that, wouldn’t Wangyue Tower be exposed? Most importantly, Yuxin and Yuhe have nothing to do with this, and I can’t let them get involved.”

As Gu Shuyan spoke, she looked up at Yun Yichen's deep gaze and couldn't help but rub his furrowed brows, feeling a headache coming on.

"But in the end, didn't they get dragged into it too?"

Gu Shuyan was unable to refute Yun Yichen's words. Yes, sending them to fetch reinforcements would only drag the two of them into this mess. Fortunately, Wangyue Tower was not exposed, and she herself did not die.

"Go see Xu Feng! He was attacked by so many people and suffered a lot of injuries today because of me."

As she spoke, Gu Shuyan stood up from Yun Yichen's arms and pulled him out.

"That's what he should do."

Seeing Gu Shuyan's worried expression towards Xu Feng, the man felt inexplicably a little sour.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan turned around and glared at him. Under the threat of that glare, the usually authoritarian Prime Minister had no choice but to shut his mouth and accompany Gu Shuyan to the clinic.

Xu Yunzhi led the man away from the bustling city, but before they even returned to their lodgings, he stopped.

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Xu Yunzhi, the man immediately knelt down again with a thud.

"My lord, I was truly deceived today."

The man and his men had actually been tricked by the woman. Seeing his brothers, who had risked their lives for him, die one by one, the man was also heartbroken.

Xu Yunzhi turned around and gave the man a cold look. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want a woman but don't even look at who she is. Do you think someone as arrogant as her would be interested in you? Once things are done, she'll just push all the blame onto you."

As soon as Xu Yunzhi spoke, a look of astonishment flashed across the man's eyes. He hadn't expected that his master knew he liked women. Unfortunately, what he thought was a task to please a beauty had instead harmed his brothers.

"Considering you were also used, go collect your brothers' bodies and go back!"

Xu Yunzhi initially intended to kill the man directly, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it and simply let the man leave on his own.
