Are you waiting for someone?
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet, and Gu An'an was no exception.
She had no direct conflict with Bai Qiaoyin, but because of Lin Zixing, she was targeted and even nearly lost her life.
If it weren't for the fact that killing someone in broad daylight is wrong, Gu An'an would definitely have taken this person's life!
Even those who have grown up under the red flag and are protected by the rule of law can sometimes feel angry.
Bai Qiaoyin instantly sensed Gu An'an's murderous intent. After all, she was a woman who had experienced many hardships. "What did you do to Zhou Duan?"
"What can I do? I just barely escaped with my life." Gu An'an chuckled. "I told you, if I can leave alive, I will make you wish you were dead. Manager Bai, we'll see."
The man, whose head was still covered in grass clippings, raised his entrenching tool and gestured at his neck from a distance.
Bai Qiaoyin's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
She had witnessed the wickedness of people in Jiangzhou Prefecture and the capital.
Those who looked down on her and bullied her ultimately lost to her.
This time, however, Bai Qiaoyin's face turned slightly pale, and she watched Gu An'an's departing figure, unable to calm down for a long time.
Although it was Zhou Duan who acted on his own initiative, she was somewhat aware of Zhou Duan's methods, which was why she managed to escape from her clutches.
Bai Qiaoyin's expression was not good. When she arrived at Luofeng Slope and saw the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere in the distance, she couldn't help but gag.
"What's wrong?"
The familiar voice made Bai Qiaoyin suddenly raise her head. Seeing the young man in brocade standing there, a hint of grievance welled up in her eyes, "Young Master..."
Lin Zixing said gently, "Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you."
Hearing this, Bai Qiaoyin felt even more aggrieved. "I have Young Master backing me up, how could I feel aggrieved? It's nothing."
Zhou Duan's husband's family was skilled in making fireworks, but because of this skill, they were framed and their entire family was massacred.
Bai Qiaoyin saved Zhou Duan, intending to use him in a critical moment, but unexpectedly, he acted on his own and lost his life.
How utterly stupid!
Bai Qiaoyin's feelings were quite complicated, but she didn't expect Lin Zixing to return at this time.
Eight years ago, she gave her whole heart to this man, and now, hearing his care and concern, all her grievances vanish.
"This place is no fun, let's go. The journey must be tiring, I just want to treat myself to something good."
Bai Qiaoyin smiled sweetly, "I'll cook a few dishes for you, young master."
"Why do you need to do it yourself? Just have the chefs at Taibai Tower make some of their specialties. Could Gu An'an go to Taibai Tower during this time?"
Bai Qiaoyin's smile froze slightly; she hadn't expected the young master to ask her about this so soon after his return.
Having been by Lin Zixing's side for many years, Bai Qiaoyin quickly realized the meaning behind those words.
"Now that Madam Gu has opened her own shop, she looks down on our Taibai Tower and hasn't visited for some time."
Lin Zixing chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Really? She's quite efficient. Since she dares to open a shop, her skills must be pretty good. I'll have to go and try it."
At this point, Bai Qiaoyin could no longer maintain her smile.
"Young master, you must be tired from your return. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
"Konomi is so considerate."
He had a smile on his face, but his voice was extremely cold.
Bai Qiaoyin panicked immediately, realizing that her suggestion had angered Lin Zixing.
Lin Jia Liulang, however, hated it when others told him what to do.
"It is Kyouon who has overstepped his bounds."
Lin Zixing waved his folding fan and gently tapped Bai Qiaoyin's head, "Don't take this for granted, or you'll be naughty."
The folding fan fell gently, but Bai Qiaoyin felt a shiver run through her body.
Only after walking far into the woods did he feel the pressure disappear.
When she plotted against Fu Lingshu, the young master didn't say anything, and even transferred her away from the capital to protect her.
He didn't like the marriage alliance, and he was merely going along with the trend to sabotage it.
But the young master had a completely different attitude towards Gu An'an.
This angered Bai Qiaoyin.
What is it about this woman that makes her so attractive to young men?
They must have had incredibly lucky ancestors!
Gu An'an didn't think so. She just felt that she must have dug up Lin Zixing's ancestral graves in her past life, otherwise why would this person bother her so much?
“Since this shop is open, it’s obviously open for business. How can Madam Gu turn away her customers?”
Gu An'an had only been back in the shop for a short while.
She then realized that she looked a little disheveled, with a few weeds still stuck in her hair.
Like someone who puts up a sign to sell their prize.
Just as I was cleaning the water tank, Lin Zixing walked in.
Even after several months apart, Lin Zixing is still the same Lin Zixing.
However, Gu An'an was almost killed by his own men, and was in a terrible mood, showing no sign of aggression.
"Is Young Master Lin a guest? I thought he was here to avenge Manager Bai and take my life."
Lin Zixing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized, "You went to Luofeng Slope this morning?"
Gu An'an chuckled, "Yes, you were lucky to survive. So, Young Master Lin, are you planning to take action yourself?"
These words brought a slight smile to Lin Zixing's face. "Madam Gu is a blessed person; how could she die so easily?"
When he passed by Luofengpo, he smelled blood, saw the dismembered limbs and remains, and even saw dozens of dead people on the hillside.
Those people must have been shot in the chest with an arrow.
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
The red arrowhead identified the killer.
