The girl suddenly threw herself into his arms. Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, his handsome face turned ashen, his brows were covered with an icy coldness, and his icy gaze swept over the young man.
The man immediately felt as if someone had grabbed him by the throat; his whole body went cold, and he began to tremble uncontrollably. "I...I didn't..."
"Yes, he does. He even wants me to have lunch with him in a private room. I wonder what he's up to?" Seeing that Gu Linchao's attention was on the man, Wen Nongnong became bold and took the opportunity to reach out and hug his waist.
Gu Linchao's waist feels really good to the touch; it's lean and strong.
Upon hearing Wen Nong Nong's words, the man broke out in a cold sweat. Under Gu Lin Chao's gaze, which was as if he were looking at a dead man, his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
The man, relying on his family's power, usually acted recklessly, bullying men and women without fear. But today, for some reason, he knelt down without thinking when the man opposite him stared at him.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I was just asking because I saw that you couldn't book a private room. I really didn't have any other intentions..."
Gu Linchao, however, was unwilling to listen to his nonsense any longer. His voice was icy and chilling.
"Ding Si, send the man to the military camp and hand him over to Si Yi, so that he can train him properly."
"Yes." The driver immediately stepped forward and lifted the young man up.
Upon hearing this, the young man was terrified. His gaze towards Gu Linchao was filled with fear, and he said in a fierce but weak voice, "Who...who are you? Do you know who my father is? Aren't you afraid my father will come after you for treating me like this?"
Gu Linchao, who hadn't even bothered to look at him again, turned to look at him upon hearing this, his voice like an icicle, chilling to the bone, "Oh, who is your father?"
"My father is the current emperor's maternal uncle, the Empress Dowager's cousin, and the Minister of Works. He is my father." The young man spoke with more confidence.
Their family is related to the imperial family. Even if the person in front of them has an extraordinary status, they might not dare to offend their family easily.
Thinking of this, he changed from his previous timid and fearful demeanor to one of arrogance and pride.
Wen Nongnong glanced at him in surprise, never expecting that the person she had so easily offended was actually a member of Empress Dowager Guo's family.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Gu Linchao's expression and remained silent. After all, he was from the Empress Dowager Guo's family, and she didn't know what Gu Linchao was thinking. Would he let the matter go and release the man out of respect for the Empress Dowager Guo?
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly walked over, looked the young man up and down with a half-smile, and then said as if suddenly realizing something, "So it's Guo Huai's son. No wonder he's so audacious, daring to harass an innocent woman in broad daylight, tsk tsk tsk..."
The young man clearly recognized Xiao Yan. Upon seeing him, his expression changed, and he became somewhat uneasy. "Duke Jingguo is too kind. I have always been law-abiding and a good citizen of Daye..."
"Pah!" Xiao Yan spat a mouthful of water in his face. "If you are a law-abiding citizen of Daye, then what about the other law-abiding citizens of Daye?"
The young man's face contorted with rage after being spat on, but he suppressed his anger and said, "I have not offended the Duke of Jing, have I? Why would the Duke of Jing..."
