Ye Ruan slightly turned her body to dodge, and the small pebble flew past her ear.
Ye Ruan's dark, deep eyes were devoid of any warmth. She looked up at Gu Pei, who had rushed over with his men, and sneered, "Mr. Gu Pei is here too. I really have a lot of face. Even the chieftain's right-hand men are here."
"But Mr. Gu Pei, I was just calling the police on your behalf. I didn't do anything immoral or harmful to your Gu family's interests. What wouldn't I dare to do?"
The call was answered as she spoke.
Ye Ruan calmly said, "Hello, officer, I'm at the Gu residence on Fengming Mountain in the suburbs of Chongqing. The owner of the Gu residence said that his family heirloom has been lost and suspects that I stole it."
"I need an officer to investigate and clear my name."
Ye Ruan finished speaking quickly and hung up the phone immediately.
Gu Pei and Gu Jing's faces had darkened.
Ye Ruan calmly said to the two of them, "Mr. Gu, I will not leave this courtyard with either of you until the police arrive."
"If you want to use force, you can do it now."
Gu Pei and Gu Jing exchanged a glance.
The clan chief's orders to them were to take advantage of Gu Chen's illness and kill him.
Even if they can't kill Gu Chen, they must keep Ye Ruan firmly in their grasp and absolutely cannot let this woman ruin their grand plan.
A moment later, Gu Pei and Gu Jing almost simultaneously waved to their men and said righteously, "Ye Ruan broke into our clan's ancestral hall and stole our clan's heirloom. Arrest her."
Ye Ruan sneered; all the people they brought were mute slaves.
In the past two days, Ye Ruan has figured it out. These mute servants in the Gu residence are similar to ancient assassins. She really doesn't know who these two are trying to impress by shouting like that!
The group of mute slaves rushed towards Ye Ruan, but before they could get close, they were kicked away by Qiu Shun.
Occasionally, one or two people would try to rush in front of Ye Ruan when Qiu Shun was outnumbered, but Ye Ruan would quickly disarm them.
The cracking sound of bones seemed particularly jarring in the quiet courtyard.
"stop!"
Suddenly, another loud shout came from outside the courtyard.
Although Gu Changxuan was old and frail and used a cane, he walked towards them with great speed.
After Gu Changxuan arrived, his gaze swept over Qiu Shun and landed on Ye Ruan. He said in a gloomy voice, "Since Miss Ye is unwilling to cooperate with us, there is no need to force her."
However, Miss Ye did not go to the ancestral hall alone today.
As the head of the Gu clan, I'm sure Miss Ye wouldn't interfere in punishing a clan member who violated clan rules.
"Take Gu Qing to the criminal investigation hall first!"
As soon as Gu Changxuan finished speaking, Ye Ruan saw several mute servants pushing Gu Qing, who was bound hand and foot, past outside the courtyard.
A chilling coldness instantly appeared in Ye Ruan's eyes, which had been calm just moments before.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he said, "Since the clan chief insists that the clan's heirloom is related to me, then as a guest, I shouldn't make things difficult for the host."
"I'll go with you."
Gu Jing and Gu Pei quickly signaled the mute servant beside them to grab Ye Ruan.
Ye Ruan glanced at Gu Jing and Gu Pei, and the two immediately stopped what they were doing, causing the mute servant to turn back.
In a moment of panic, Qiu Shun grabbed Ye Ruan's arm, "Ruan Ruan, you can't go with them."
Ye Ruan raised her little face, looked at Qiu Shun with a sweet smile, and said obediently, "Uncle Qiu Shun, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"You stay here and take good care of Gu Chen. He's currently receiving an IV drip of saline solution to help speed up his metabolism. Once this bottle is finished, just remove the needle."
As she spoke, she winked playfully at Qiu Shun.
Qiu Shun instantly understood her meaning. Although he was worried, he still had no choice but to let go of her hand.
Ye Ruan strolled out of the courtyard. She didn't want to get her hands dirty and have a direct confrontation with them, but these people were asking for it, so she couldn't be blamed.
