Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Gu Jin: I Can Help You
Qin Zihao completely disregarded the threat, grinning cheekily and brazenly staring at Gu Jin.
"What a temper for a beauty! I like it, hahaha..."
Linda, who had been holding back for quite a while, would have killed Qin Zihao a million times with her glare if looks could kill.
Anyone daring to covet the Family Head deserves death!
A thumping noise echoed from upstairs.
He Yuchun crawled up from the ground, saw the scene upstairs, and tears flowed from his eyes.
Zhen Youzhi slumped to the ground, despondently staring upstairs as if all hope had been extinguished.
Gu Jin looked toward the sound and saw everything happening upstairs clearly.
The two men Qin Zihao had sent upstairs were dragging someone of uncertain life or death down, step by step.
They were literally dragging, throwing the person on the ground, grabbing the collar, and pulling them down.
The person being dragged was none other than the frail and thin Zhen Jie.
His eyes were empty, blank, filled with a lifeless silence.
This did not resemble the gaze a living person should have.
The thumping sound was Zhen Jie’s head hitting the stair rails or steps as he was dragged down.
The sound alone made one feel pain.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jin’s expression darkened, and she immediately gestured to Linda behind her.
In everyone’s sight, they saw a blur rapidly rushing toward the center of the stairs.
They couldn’t clearly discern how the blur acted.
Only two loud bangs were heard.
"Bang! Bang!"
The next moment, the two men dragging Zhen Jie had already been thrown onto the downstairs floor.
The person standing in the middle of the stairs was Linda, who had been standing behind Gu Jin earlier.
He Yuchun’s crying stopped, and Zhen Youzhi, slumped on the ground, involuntarily straightened up.
Qin Zihao and Qin Zhenzhen, the siblings sitting on the sofa, displayed shocked and surprised expressions.
In everyone’s view, Linda picked up Zhen Jie and briskly walked downstairs.
She walked straight toward Gu Jin, dropping Zhen Jie on the ground, then stood properly behind Gu Jin.
Gu Jin turned to give Linda a smile and praised her: "Nice skills."
"You’re too kind, Miss Gu," Linda smiled, bowing in courtesy to her.
Being praised, she was quite pleased.
"You dare to harm my people!"
Qin Zihao stood up from the sofa, his gaze viciously fixed on Linda.
Linda stood behind Gu Jin, not even sparing him a glance, as if one look at him was enough to soil her eyes.
A character like Qin Zihao wasn’t even enough for her to crush with a finger.
Gu Jin squatted down, her radiant black eyes scanning Zhen Jie’s leg, curled bizarrely.
Her gaze moved up to once again see the lifeless light in Zhen Jie’s eyes.
At the moment their eyes met, Zhen Jie’s heart shuddered tightly.
He knew how pathetic he looked now, his eyelids trembling, and he stubbornly turned his head away.
Gu Jin extended her hand, disregarding the bloodstains on his face, pinching his chin to once again meet the gaze within his eyes.
This time, she clearly saw a flicker of defiance, resentment, and anger in Zhen Jie’s eyes.
Gu Jin’s lips curled into a smile.
Before she could say anything, Qin Zihao rushed forward.
"Linda!"
At Gu Jin’s command, Linda dashed forward.
She tightly gripped Qin Zihao’s neck with one hand, even lifting the large man effortlessly.
Linda finally found the opportunity to teach him a lesson, gripping his lifeline, her voice icy: "If you don’t want a quick death, shut up!"
Saying that, she tossed him onto the sofa.
"Cough, cough, cough..." After catching his breath, Qin Zihao began to cough loudly.
Linda moved closer, the dagger in her hand sweeping across Qin Zihao’s throat.
The sharp blade cut through his skin.
"Did you forget what I just said?"
The threat echoing by his ear, Qin Zihao was so frightened his legs shook, suppressing his cough until his face turned red.
Seeing their young master in danger, the people Qin Zihao brought wanted to step forward to save him.
As they took a step, Linda flicked several daggers, embedding them in the Zhen Family’s floor, right in front of their feet.
Linda’s brightly painted red lips curled into a cold smile: "If you dare to step forward, I’ll send you all to meet God."
No, they didn’t want to meet God at all.
A few quickly retreated.
Those who understand the times are wise; they’re not going to gamble with their own lives.
"A bunch of useless!" Qin Zhenzhen furiously cursed.
The young lady, still not recognizing the situation, walked up to Linda, maintaining her lofty attitude.
Qin Zhenzhen pointed at Gu Jin and said coldly, "How much is this woman paying to hire you? We’ll pay double! Release my brother, or else you’ll pay dearly!"
Linda, as if watching a monkey, stared at Qin Zhenzhen incredulously.
This woman’s mind must have some issues.
She can’t even see the current situation.
"Hey! I’m talking to you, what’s with that look?!" Qin Zhenzhen fumed, her attitude frantic.
As Gu Jin and Zhen Jie exchanged looks, hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s nagging intensified her annoyance.
She calmly spoke, "Linda, she’s too noisy."
Linda didn’t waste words.
She released Qin Zihao and in a flash moved to Qin Zhenzhen.
Raising her hand, she struck fiercely at the opponent’s neck.
Terror and shock flashed in Qin Zhenzhen’s eyes, her body gradually softening, falling straight onto the Zhen Family’s floor.
Linda turned back to see Qin Zihao limping, preparing to sneak away.
The dagger in her hand shot out, landing on his path ahead.
Qin Zihao swallowed hard, obediently returning to his original place.
The vast hall finally returned to silence.
Gu Jin maintained her grasp, holding Zhen Jie’s chin.
She smiled and asked the young man on the floor, "How do you feel now?"
Zhen Jie’s face, marred by blood and filth, seemed to twist into a smile.
Seeing his mouth move, Gu Jin spoke icily: "I want to kill."
These words seemed to amuse Gu Jin.
In his past life, even when Zhen Jie was a tool for a political marriage, his wife cheated on him, or he served the Zhen Family all his life, he never rebelled.
So what is it now that makes him want to kill?
In the young man’s eyes, what fuels the rage and hatred that flickers?
Gu Jin released Zhen Jie’s chin, rubbing the sticky blood from her fingertips, sweeping her gaze over to his curled, useless leg.
Just like Qin Zihao, it’s the right leg that is crippled.
She spoke casually, asking Zhen Jie, "Why do you want to kill?"
"They’re all deserving of death!" Zhen Jie glared at Qin Zihao, Qin Zhenzhen, even turning to glance at Zhen Youzhi and He Yuchun the couple.
Meeting his son’s gaze, Zhen Youzhi and He Yuchun’s eyes clearly showed guilt.
This change was observed by Gu Jin, who found it quite interesting.
Seeing the blood on Gu Jin’s hand, Linda stepped forward, offering a handkerchief.
Gu Jin took it, wiping the blood off her fingertips.
She stared at Zhen Jie, her eyes revealing a deep glint.
"Tell me why they deserve death, and maybe I can help you."
