Gu Shen’s cold eyes looked up and his sharp gaze was fixed on the few cars that were approaching. Soon, they were surrounded and could not move an inch.
“Gu Yi, call Uncle Hai,” he instructed calmly.
“Yes.”
Gu Yi called him and quickly explained the situation. Meanwhile, he took out a couple of guns from the drawer. Gu Shen took one of them while tightly hugging Yan Xi in his arms.
Yan Xi gasped for breath, trying to process what was happening.
“Gu Shen, I’m fine.” She forced herself to sound calm. She looked up and met Gu Shen’s gaze. “Be careful.”
Gu Shen looked at her and suddenly raised his hand to touch her head, trying to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”
As he spoke, the car in front of theirs opened. A tall and fat man walked out with a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
“Gu Shen, get the f*ck out there! Why are you hiding in the car!”
“It’s Zhou Chuan!” Gu Yi cursed. “How dare this bastard show up in front of you?”
Yan Xi recalled and felt that she seemed to have heard this name in the book. After thinking for a while, she remembered this person.
Zhou Chuan was the CEO of a branch company under Gu Shen. He was not very capable but was very daring. He stole important confidential files from Gu Shen and sold them to their competitors. As a result, he was kicked out of the company by Gu Shen.
While Yan Xi was still thinking, Zhou Chuan fired a few shots at the car. The thumping sounds made her tremble.
Gu Shen narrowed his cold eyes and rolled down the car window.
“Who gave you the guts to stop my car?”
Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes and walked to Gu Shen, the gun in his hand pointed at Gu Shen vigilantly.
“Gu Shen, let me tell you something, I’m not afraid of anything now! Today, either you lend me two billion for free, or we’ll perish together!”
“Lend you?” Gu Shen smiled sarcastically. “Why should I?”
“Because of the gun in my hand!”
Zhou Chuan looked crazy, as if he was going to pull the trigger in the next second. For a time, both sides were in a deadlock.
Looking at Gu Shen who was frowning, Yan Xi put her slender hand over his hand. “Gu Shen, there are too many of them. Don’t be rash.”
Although her fingers were already cold from fright, she was still worried about his safety.
Yan Xi shivered nervously. “Let’s wait for Gu Er in the car.”
Gu Shen lowered his eyes. He held her hand and rubbed his fingertips against her palm, as if he was coaxing a child.
“Don’t be afraid, trust me.”
“Damn it!” Zhou Chuan cursed. He kicked the car door roughly. “I’m asking you a question. All you know is to flirt with your little girl!”
Gu Shen turned around and fixed his dark gaze on Zhou Chuan. He said coldly, “Who told you of my whereabouts?”
“Heh, that’s not for you to know. There are plenty of people who want your life! If you give me two billion, I’ll leave immediately. Gu Shen, I’m losing my patience now.”
“I don’t have much patience either, so you either die or get lost,”
“Do you think I still care about my life? I’m already at the end of my rope. We’ll either die here today! Or…”
Zhou Chuan suddenly smiled wickedly. His gaze landed on Yan Xi in the car. He slowly raised the gun and aimed it at her head. “This is your wife, right? She’s quite good-looking. Two billion isn’t enough to buy your life, but it’s enough to buy hers, right?”
In the car, Yan Xi’s heart skipped a beat. Her face turned pale, but she forced herself to look at Gu Shen calmly and shook her head.
She was not yet worthy of two billion yuan for Gu Shen.
No matter how hard she pretended, Gu Shen could still see the helplessness and fear she was trying her best to suppress.
His heart was throbbing painfully, as if his vessels were being pressed tightly so that blood couldn’t circulate.
Gu Shen looked down and pulled the safety bolt on the gun.
“Zhou Chuan, you’ll never learn to be smarter. She’s not someone you can touch.”
The next second, there was a deafening gunshot.
When Yan Xi came back to her senses, Zhou Chuan was already spitting blood, his facial expression terribly twisted. His body was swaying and his hands were floating in midair as if he was trying to grab onto something. In the end, he fell to the ground.
In an instant, Yan Xi’s lips turned pale. She held onto the seat in front of her and buried her head in her arms. She couldn’t believe what just happened.
Dead.
A living person was shot in the head and died in front of her.
The bullet punctured Zhou Chuan’s skull, making the blood in his head gush out.. It was disgusting, horrifying, and vivid.
