Master Gu is now involved in everything, making Wu Lianlian feel restricted. Recently, she has been feeling irritable and has been contemplating killing Master Gu. However, Master Gu has two highly skilled bodyguards by his side, making it difficult for her to find an opportunity to strike.
This old man was very afraid of his life. The bodyguards protecting him were martial arts masters he had hired at great expense a few years ago. Master Gu had once done them a favor; otherwise, given their arrogance, they would not have been kept by Master Gu's side for so many years for money.
