Chapter 229 After Zhongliang
Gu Chan moved her feet away from the man in black's chest, stretched out her hand to grab his collar, and picked him up from the ground like a chicken.
The man in black was frightened by the beating and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Little hero, spare my life. I was deceived. I hope you will show mercy."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm just asking you if you will cooperate with me?" Gu Chan said coldly.
"Cooperation, definitely cooperation." How dare the man in black disobey.
Gu Chan shook her hand and threw him directly into the lobby.
"Bang!"
The man in black hit the ground in the lobby with a loud bang. The pain made him lie on the ground and grinned.
Gu Chan held back her laughter and walked in, sat on the chair in front of him like a boss, looked at the white smoke all over the floor and said, "First clear this smoke for me."
"It will dissipate tomorrow morning. The effect of this smoke can only last for one night. It can only stun people but cannot kill them." The man in black said lying on the ground.
Gu Chan felt at ease.
As long as the smoke does not endanger the lives of Ouyang Wan'er and others, she can say anything.
The man in black slowly got up from the ground, limped to the chair next to him and sat down. After taking a few breaths, he sighed and said, "I can't tell! You are so strong at such a young age. If I'm not mistaken, you are at least a third-level physical practitioner."
"I am level 4 in physical skills," Gu Chan said.
"No wonder he's so powerful. I'm only level two in physical skills, so I'm no match for you! Damn Xu Renjie, you made me get a beating. I'm so angry." The man in black said angrily.
Now he completely understood the gap between himself and Gu Chan, and he didn't want to struggle anymore.
Gu Chan didn't want to listen to his complaints, so she glared at him and said, "Take off the mask from your face."
"Okay, okay, I'll take it off." The man in black responded hurriedly, and then quickly took off half of the mask on his face.
As soon as the mask was taken off, Gu Chan could see clearly that this man was only in his early twenties, not very old, and even a little green in appearance. He had a pointed face and big eyes, which was quite good-looking. Overall , I can’t say that I have a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but it is a bit like the modern little fresh meat type with oval face.
This guy is definitely not very handsome, but he still looks pretty good-looking.
At first glance, she didn't dislike this person's appearance. Gu Chan said in a calmer tone, "Where are you from?"
"Shopkeeper Gu, my name is Wei Xing, from Kyoto. My father is Wei Tao, the former Minister of Rites of the Tiancang Kingdom. Half a year ago, my Wei family was killed by an adulterer, which led to the whole family being exiled to the border. My father and mother were in mourning due to old age. He died in the middle of his exile, and other members of my Wei family were also tortured and died one after another at the border!" Wei Xing said sincerely.
Gu Chan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy in her heart.
You must know that her predecessor was also exiled to the border before. She knew best what the situation was like on the way to exile. Unfortunately, as Wei Xing said, the family members who were exiled to the border with her, None of them ended well, and they all died at the border.
Wei Xing's ability to survive on his own shows that his willpower is strong enough.
Wei Xing added, "If I hadn't wanted to avenge my father's blood, I wouldn't have survived until now. But fortunately, there is no end to the road. After the Earth-Moon Army invaded the border, they surrounded the Tiger Army. At that time, I took advantage of the chaos and ran away. In order to make a living, I had no choice but to pretend to be Batman. Please forgive me, shopkeeper Gu."
"Okay, I understand what happened to you. If you put it this way, you can still be regarded as a loyal and good person. Don't take it personally when I beat you just now. Even if we don't fight, we will never know each other." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Wei Xing finally relaxed a little with his heart hanging in his chest. The key point is that he really can't beat Gu Chan. If he angers this little evil star again and beats him up, he really can't resist it.
Gu Chan did not dwell on this issue and instead said, "Since Xu Renjie sent you to kill me, it proves that he must have been the one who sent people to burn down my medical clinic last night."
"I wasn't the one who burned down your medical clinic. Don't blame me for this." Wei Xing explained quickly.
"I didn't blame you. What are you afraid of? I pretended to be dying for a while. You took me to the Xu Mansion to see Xu Renjie and asked him for one hundred thousand taels of silver..."
"Ah? One hundred thousand taels? That's so much, can he give it to me?" Before Gu Chan could finish her words, Wei Xing interrupted her in surprise.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "You are stupid! He will definitely not want to give so much, but if you give him some eye drops, make sure he does it obediently."
"Eye drops?" Wei Xing was confused.
Gu Chan immediately walked up to him with a smirk, put her mouth to his ear and whispered softly.
Wei Xing frowned at first, but after Gu Chan finished speaking, he immediately beamed and almost jumped up with joy. He even raised his thumbs up to Gu Chan and praised, "As expected of Shopkeeper Gu, you are so awesome." ”
"Then you rest for a while and recover from your injuries. I will carry my wife upstairs and lie down before she comes back down." Gu Chan said.
Wei Xing nodded repeatedly.
Gu Chan turned around and walked towards Ouyang Wan'er, carrying her upstairs.
Walking on the stairs, Gu Chan couldn't help but murmur to herself, "This girl is so light! I'm afraid she doesn't even weigh 90 pounds. She's too skinny! No matter what, she has to be kept fat and white with me, look. Be nice to her when you come here.”
After saying that, Gu Chan quickened her pace and soon carried Ouyang Wan'er to the wing room on the fourth floor.
After putting Ouyang Wan'er on the soft bed and covering her with a quilt, Gu Chan went downstairs with peace of mind and went to the Xu Mansion with Wei Xing.
And when Gu Chan and Wei Xing came together to the backyard of the Xu Mansion in the wealthy area of the East District, under the tall courtyard wall, it was already midnight, and there was still an hour before dawn.
Gu Chan whispered, "We have to hurry up, lest it gets difficult to deal with when the sun comes up."
"You have to act cool for a while and don't reveal your secrets." Wei Xing reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm the best at acting." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After saying that, she lay directly on Wei Xing's shoulder and secretly activated her physical skills to make her body as soft as a snake. In this way, she looked as if she had been beaten to death, and her whole body was limp and powerless. Same.
Wei Xing stood up with her on his shoulders. Seeing that she was pretending to be really dying, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh! You look so good at pretending! That's a good acting skill."
"Hurry in and stop talking nonsense." Gu Chan urged angrily.
Wei Xing laughed twice, then became serious, carried her, jumped over the tall courtyard wall, and sneaked into the Xu Mansion.
