"By the way, what's the serious matter you're talking about?"
Suddenly, Sheng Wu looked up at the man in the mirror who was combing her hair.
Chen Guiwu lowered his head and carefully and patiently arranged her soft and voluminous hair. "It's the person who attacked you yesterday. I've found him."
Sheng Wu's bored expression suddenly froze.
"So...what are you going to do?"
After a pause, she seemed to realize that this was not something a woman like her should ask, and immediately changed her words.
"Forget it, don't tell me, just handle it yourself."
But Chen Guiwu asked in a serious tone, "Awu, do you want to be safe and sound with someone to protect you, or do you want to learn how to be a gunman yourself?"
Sheng Wu looked up at him and didn't say anything for a moment. What did Chen Guiwu mean by suddenly saying this?
Although she hadn't figured out his purpose yet, Sheng Wu still smiled sincerely.
"Of course I'll be the one holding the gun. If the gun is in someone else's hands, it will be like yesterday. I won't even have a chance to fight back."
"Then I'll teach you how to practice shooting, okay?" Chen Guiwu lowered his eyes, and his long and slender eyelashes were very charming.
"......" Sheng Wu looked up in surprise, unable to see the expression in Chen Guiwu's eyes clearly, but she still nodded.
"good!"
......
"Hello, ma'am!"
The second day.
Chen Guiwu excused himself from all matters and took Sheng Wu to an underground warehouse of the Shen family.
As soon as Sheng Wu entered, she saw Gu Bai and Chunxi already standing there.
"Yeah." She nodded lightly.
Then he turned to look at the man next to him, who had changed from his usual loose scholar's gown to a tight-fitting Western shirt and trousers, with a circle of cuffs tied around his arms.
I originally thought that Chen Guiwu was using a cane because he was not in good health, but I didn't expect that the tight suit he wore made his muscles look particularly obvious. He was not as thin as he looked.
Sheng Wu had also changed into a smart androgynous outfit, with her hair tied up and wearing flat shoes.
Chen Guiwu led her over and walked along the passage, explaining, "The Shen family's business has grown, and the country has become increasingly chaotic in recent years. If the Shen family didn't have its own armed forces, they would have been devoured alive by other covetous people. This is where the Shen family trains their guards. There are all kinds of imported firearms and explosives."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu observed silently. Next to the passage here were various tightly closed rooms with good soundproofing effect, so one could only vaguely hear something.
Gu Bai and Chunxi followed behind. They were not surprised and thought they had also left from here.
The group came to the innermost room.
As soon as she entered, Sheng Wu saw various firearms placed on the nearest tables, and about ten meters ahead was a circular target.
"Are you scared?" Chen Guiwu's tall and straight body paused, and he turned his head and looked at her.
Sheng Wu raised her eyes seriously, her sparkling eyes full of confidence and trust.
"Don't be afraid, I have you."
It was originally a warm and pink bubble scene, but Gu Bai and Chunxi behind him felt goosebumps when they heard it. They were two single people who didn't understand.
In order to prevent accidental injury and to give the two of them a chance to be alone, Gu Bai gave Chunxi a look, and then the two of them retreated quietly and closed the door.
"Try the most portable of these guns first."
Next, Chen Guiwu began to teach Sheng Wu how to use firearms.
"good."
......
Practiced all afternoon.
It was not until the evening that Chen Guiwu took Sheng Wu out of the training room.
"Awu, go and see what I told you?"
However, Chen Guiwu did not take her home directly. Instead, he took her right hand, which was a little sore after practicing for an afternoon, and bent down to carefully rub her knuckles.
Sheng Wu turned to look at him, raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Explanation?"
The next second, she remembered what Chen Guiwu said when she was attacked yesterday, that he would give her an explanation. He said at noon that he had found the person who attacked her that day.
"Okay." She nodded obediently, as if she trusted him wholeheartedly in everything.
Then Gu Bai led the way, Chunxi followed behind, and the four of them went to another place in the underground warehouse.
Sheng Wu walked in and took a casual look. At the iron tools on the wall, she realized that this was a place for detention and torture.
But he hadn't reached the innermost part yet. When he reached the door, Shen Guiwu stopped and hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Sheng Wu looked at him in confusion, her eyes clear.
"Awu..."
Chen Guiwu looked at her with a hint of struggle in his tender eyes, and his tense face did not look good. Sheng Wu did not say anything, but just watched him silently make the final decision.
In the end, Chen Guiwu chose to hold her hand and walk in.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
As soon as she entered, Sheng Wu finally understood what he had been hesitating about.
In the innermost room, the floor was covered in blood. On the surrounding walls were four or five men tied to wooden frames. They were wearing white clothes and their bodies were beaten to pieces. There was not a single piece of good flesh on their faces, and even their bodies were covered with marks of various torture instruments.
What whip marks, what branding, anyway, it's a bit scary to look at.
If it were Sheng Wu at this moment, she would naturally not feel afraid, and might even be in the mood to go forward and try her hand. However, the original owner's character was not so dark, at least not on the surface. In Shen Guiwu's eyes, she was still a pampered canary.
So Sheng Wu turned pale immediately after just one look, and stepped back as if a little scared.
"Gui Wu! They're... bleeding so much!" Tsk, it's not as scary as when she takes action.
The girl's trembling, choked voice was heartbreaking to hear.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing that her face looked a little ugly, Chen Guiwu immediately stepped forward and hugged her, then buried her head in his arms, avoiding her sight, and raised one hand to pat the back of her hand to comfort her.
"Awu, these people are the ones who attacked you that day. They confessed under torture. It was someone sent by the Zhang family. They thought I was sitting in that car, so they killed me. I'm sorry, I've implicated you."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu, who was timid in his arms, narrowed her pupils slightly with a cold look, so she almost became Chen Guiwu's scapegoat.
After sorting out her thoughts, Sheng Wu suddenly raised her head and glanced at him in surprise, "The Zhang family wants to kill you!"
"Yes." Chen Guiwu nodded solemnly. "The Shen family and the Zhang family have been rivals in Sijiu City for many years. After I defeated the Zhang family and successfully ran for the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, they have been secretly trying to trip me up. So this time, I will not show any mercy."
If something really happened to Ah Wu that day, then he...
