Chapter 4: The Cold-Hearted Sentinel's Overbearing Love for the Little Guide: Jealousy and Passion
thump!
After a loud bang, Gu Shanshan and Gu Anrong's bodies tumbled over the railing and fell into the icy lake water.
After the falcon struck the person, it heard a sharp whistle and immediately took to the air.
When Gong Ye and Gong Mo arrived, they saw the two of them fall into the water.
The two of them strode towards the spot where Gu Anrong and Gu Shanshan had fallen into the water. As they ran, Gong drew his gun and fired a shot at the falcon in the sky.
Bang!
The bullet struck the falcon precisely in the head. The falcon let out a sharp, piercing cry before plummeting from the sky and crashing into the lake.
At the same time, Gong Ye and Gong Mo arrived at the lakeside and jumped into the water almost without hesitation.
Ripples spread across the lake's surface.
The lake was very deep, and unfortunately, neither Gu Shanshan nor Gu Anrong could swim.
To make matters worse, there was a hidden whirlpool at the bottom of the lake. When the two fell in, they were separated by the whirlpool, and the icy cold lake water rushed into their mouths and noses.
The two struggled, helplessly swept away by the undercurrent.
As they inhaled more and more lake water and their lungs emptied, their bodies slowly sank and gradually lost consciousness.
After Gong Ye and Gong Mo jumped into the lake, they relied on their keen intuition to swim towards their respective people.
Gong Ye grabbed Gu Shanshan's hand, forcefully pulled Gu Shanshan's falling body upwards, and dragged Gu Shanshan by the waist, quickly bringing her to the surface of the water.
When he carried Gu Shanshan back to the surface, Gong Mo also rescued Gu Anrong.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and immediately carried the unconscious Gu Shanshan and Gu Anrong ashore.
On the shore, the captain of the guards had already arrived with his men.
Seeing that Gong Ye and Gong Mo, the two men who symbolized the imperial power, were covered in water, he turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
He foolishly insisted on having Gu Shanshan and Gu Anrong taken in and cared for, but before he could even touch them, he was coldly glanced at by Gong Ye and Gong Mo. Instantly, he trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.
Gong Mo's face was grim. He ordered the head guard, "Fire up that falcon in the lake and investigate it!"
His voice was filled with a terrifying murderous intent.
He wouldn't even dare to hurt anyone who dared to touch him; anyone else who did would be courting death.
Gu Shanshan and Gu Anrong were both in poor health, and the lake water was icy cold.
Both of them fainted from the strain.
Gong Ye's face was terrifyingly gloomy. If Gong Mo hadn't summoned him to the palace, Gu Shanshan would still be lying peacefully in his bed right now.
Without saying a word to Gong Mo, he carried Gu Shanshan straight out of the palace.
Gong Mo's expression was also very unpleasant. Gu Anrong had fallen into the water and fainted, and he didn't know who to hold accountable for this.
With a sullen face, he ignored Gong Ye and carried Gu Anrong back to his palace.
Gong Ye even regretted it in his heart. He shouldn't have let Gu Shanshan come to the palace to accompany Gu Anrong, or he shouldn't have softened his heart and unlocked the lock on Gu Anrong's body, letting him leave the palace.
......
On the other side.
At the Chancellor of the Exchequer's house, Wen Ziting stood on the rooftop, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Royal Palace.
He was also holding a special whistle in his hand.
As time ticked by, and his falcon still hadn't returned, Wen Ziting's expression grew increasingly grim.
He felt that keeping an ordinary pet was too common and did not suit his noble status.
Only by keeping a genetically mutated falcon could he show his specialness, so he begged his father to bring it back from the genetic research institute. Because it was a product of genetic mutation research and was brought out secretly, it was not suitable for the outside world to know.
Otherwise, under the iron-fisted rule of the Emperor Gong Mo, his father's position as Minister of Finance would likely be in jeopardy.
Not only will they not be safe, they might even lose their lives.
Therefore, after Wen Ziting obtained the falcon, he kept it in the rooftop storage room.
Aside from his family, no one knew that he kept a huge falcon, which he used specifically to attack people.
In order to successfully join the royal court and marry Gong Ye, he bribed and planted a spy in the palace.
It was specifically used to report on Gong Ye's situation to him.
When he woke up this morning, he saw the anonymous message sent to him by his informant, informing him that Gong Ye had taken that damned little guide, Gu Shanshan, to the palace early in the morning.
Gu Shanshan was a poor boy, and he easily investigated her background thoroughly.
They sent someone to Gu Shanshan's house to get some of Gu Shanshan's clothes, and then had Falcon smell the clothes that had been stained with Gu Shanshan's scent.
Falcon was genetically modified and specifically designed for special missions, and he was also trained by James Wan.
After smelling the scent of Gu Shanshan's clothes, Wen Ziting released her.
When the falcon attacked, Gu Shanshan saw that Gu Anrong was cold, so she took off her coat and put it on Gu Anrong. The shirt Gu Shanshan was wearing underneath belonged to Gong Ye, which is why the falcon changed its target and attacked Gu Anrong.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shanshan went to shield Gu Anrong, causing both of them to fall into the water.
A miniature communicator was strapped to the falcon's leg, and Wen Ziting's whistle was connected to that communicator.
He could hear the commotion over there, so when he heard the sound of something falling into the water, he knew he had succeeded and immediately blew his whistle to call the falcon back.
But the falcon had only been flying for a short while when a sharp gunshot rang out.
Then came the sound of falling into the water. The communicator on Falcon's feet was completely destroyed after getting wet, making him unable to hear anything.
"Damn it, what happened?!"
Wen Ziting squeezed the whistle with such force that he almost deformed it.
He slammed the object to the ground in anger, but a sense of panic crept into his heart.
He didn't know what had happened over there, nor did he know who had fired the shot that brought his falcon down.
He was filled with anxiety, afraid that someone would find out that the falcon was his own.
They were afraid of being punished.
Given the current situation, Falcon is not coming back, so he can only quickly eliminate all suspicious traces.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Ziting walked to the storeroom, gritted his teeth, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit the storeroom curtains.
The flames landed on the fabric and shot up high.
Thick smoke and a pungent burning smell filled the air. Wen Ziting watched as the fire grew larger and larger, then turned and went downstairs.
Seeing that the upstairs storage room was almost completely engulfed in flames, he shouted, "Help! Fire! Help!"
Wen Ziting's shouts attracted the servants in the front hall, who immediately scrambled to put out the fire.
At the time, Wen Ziting was the only person in the attic behind the building, so no one knew that Wen Ziting had started the fire.
As the fire intensified, Wen Ziting's smile deepened.
Great, he destroyed all the evidence of keeping falcons, so everything that happened in the palace is no longer his concern.
......
Gu Shanshan didn't wake up until 8 p.m. at Gong Ye's mansion.
When I woke up, I found that my whole body was as if it were bound by something, and I couldn't move at all.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself being held tightly in Gong's arms.
Gong Ye's grip was too strong, causing him pain.
Looking down, he saw that Gong Ye's hand was still wrapped around his chest, which explained why he felt like he couldn't breathe when he was unconscious.
Gu Shanshan's lowered head woke Gong Ye up.
Looking down at Gu Shanshan, meeting her beautiful eyes, he parted his thin lips slightly, as if wanting to say something.
But before he could utter a single word, Gu Shanshan interrupted him in an anxious tone.
"Gong Ye, where is Gu Anrong? How is he? Is he alright?"
He remembered that Gu Anrong was knocked into the water with him. Gu Anrong was in poor health, and she was still coughing when she spoke to him.
As he fell into the icy lake water, Gu Shanshan was truly afraid that something might happen to him.
He didn't know why he cared so much about Gu Anrong.
They cared even more about Miyako, who was their target in the strategy.
Gong Ye: "..."
Okay, very good!
Gong Ye was so angry he gritted his teeth. He had personally rescued the little guide and taken care of him for so long.
The first thing the young guide said after waking up wasn't to ask him anything, show concern for him, or thank him.
Instead, she asked other men.
A feeling called jealousy spread endlessly in Gong Ye's heart.
Her voice was icy as she said, "Why are you asking him? Do you like him?"
The next sentence was chillingly cold.
The look in Gu Shanshan's eyes was terrifying.
It was as if if Gu Shanshan dared to say she liked him, Gong Ye would immediately strangle her in his arms.
Gu Shanshan had no idea why Bai Gongye's expression suddenly changed. But then she realized that he really liked Gu Anrong.
She liked him at first sight and wanted to be close to him, even wanting to be held by Gu Anrong.
It was as if Gu Anrong had held him before.
He replied naively, "I like it."
Before she could finish speaking, Gong Ye grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the bed...
In the royal palace.
Gu Anrong didn't wake up until evening.
As soon as she opened her eyes, memories of the day slowly returned to her mind, and she anxiously grabbed Gong Mo's hand.
He asked anxiously, "Gong Mo, where's Shan Shan? How is he? Where is he now?"
One question after another popped out of Gu Anrong's mouth.
Gong Mo was initially happy to see Gu Anrong wake up, but before he could say a word, he heard Gu Anrong not asking him anything, but only asking about Gu Shanshan.
Jealousy of his brother's wife made Gong Mo extremely irritable.
He gave a cold, indifferent laugh, full of malice, and said, "He's dead."
Upon hearing this, Gu Anrong's face instantly drained of all color.
So frightened that he almost fainted from the shock, Gong Mo regretted his harsh words when he saw Gu Anrong's condition.
He pulled Gu Anrong into his arms and said, "I was just kidding, he's perfectly fine."
As he spoke, he kissed Gu Anrong on the cheek.
Gu Anrong was so frightened she was about to faint, but upon hearing Gong Mo's words, her heart finally settled down, and her complexion improved considerably.
"I'm the bastard."
Although he spoke softly, the light in Gong Mo's eyes was cold.
It seems Gu Shanshan cannot be kept alive...
