Chapter 209 Let Me Protect You

Although the Gu family had already lost the battle, the internal struggle had never stopped.

Those people felt that Gu Yu's favor had blinded their eyes and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

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

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

At this time, Su Mi saw that the door of the middle car was opened.

Gu Mucheng stepped out with long legs, wearing a dark grey suit and holding a black umbrella, and looked calmly at the people rushing over from all sides.

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 like this, for him, death might be the only relief.

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

They walked up to Gu Mucheng and didn't know what they said, but it was obviously not a peaceful exchange. 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 went up immediately.

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 this possibly win?

Su Mi took off the hair tie from her wrist, raised her arm and tied up her loose hair neatly. She stared at the movement over there and said to the people behind her, "Let's go and help."

"Yes, Madam."

Ahead, in the chaotic fight, people were still waiting for rescue. Su Mi's steps were quick, splashing water.

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

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

Gu Muqing had just knocked down a few people. 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 attack from another person, and at the same time threw a fierce punch, hitting the opponent's cheek hard. The rain slid down her arms, but it could not stop her fierce attack.

After dealing with a few people, she moved flexibly and came to his side.

The two leaned back to back, facing the people who had gathered around them with eager eyes, "Brother Mu Qing, giving up on yourself is not your style."

"Qingqing, leave me alone and go 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 Su Mi brought 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 is like a curtain, pouring down wantonly.

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

Her figure shuttled through the rain like an unstoppable bolt of 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. However, there were too many people on the other side and it would be impossible to keep going for long.

Seeing how desperately she tried to protect him and being infected by her actions, he temporarily forgot to think about other things and quickly joined the camp, side by side with her, and 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 all knew Su Mi and could see 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 were already at a disadvantage. So 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 just sat down on the spot.

Gu Muqing sat with his back to her, leaning his back against her, and both of them ignored the pouring 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 helplessness of having his heart touched.

"I won't let you die."

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

"Who said the ending is already determined?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Mi looked up at the sky, letting the rain hit his face, "There is more to love than just love in this world."

"Brother Mu Qing, I really think of you as my brother. You are my relative and a very important person to me, so I must save you."

Su Mi thought that the moment his system allowed him to make a choice, it meant that his mission was actually directed at 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 his target, 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 purpose of the system could not have been just to kill time and watch others fail.

If Gu Muqing had chosen someone else, the current situation would not be like this.

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

Only when he figured this out, could he be considered to have completed his mission.

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

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

"Brother Mu Qing, you think too highly of me. Maybe you are just obsessed with me. For example, if we were really together, you would find that I have many flaws. After a long time, you might even get tired of me. At that time, you would find that what you like is just a fantasy in your mind, and the figure you are chasing is just a puppet driven by obsession."

After experiencing failure, he only wanted to win more urgently, not caring about that person. The things he did, such as blocking for her, were also for the purpose of conquering her. Perhaps even he himself could not tell whether it was because of love or reluctance, or whether it was 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."
