Chapter 1144: When King Yan Fights, the Little Ghosts Retreat
Bai, upon hearing this, turned blue with anger and cursed, “All useless!”
He stood up, picked up the bottle on the table, and violently smashed it against the table.
The crisp sound of broken glass resonated within the private room.
Bai held the shattered bottle, pointing its sharp end towards Gu Jin.
Linda immediately stepped forward, standing in front of Gu Jin to prevent any danger from approaching the future matriarch.
“Growl…”
Duoduo gave a low, dangerous growl in warning.
Its body arched slightly, already prepared for battle.
Gu Jin pulled Linda to her side, her face full of deadly intent.
“You’re the first to ever dare point a bottle at me, but I do admire your courage.”
She took a step towards Bai, unafraid of the bottle in his hand.
As she got closer, Bai gripped the bottle, retreating a step.
It seemed he was frightened by Gu Jin.
Or perhaps he feared the White Wolf accompanying her.
Gu Jin reached Bai, ignoring the beer bottle in his hand, and kicked him hard onto the sofa.
Bai was kicked onto the sofa, surrounded by his companions who stared fearfully at Gu Jin and the fierce wolf behind her, afraid they might be next.
Gu Jin stepped on Bai’s chest, her voice icy: “Bringing your family into every matter, that’s all you can do! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your family about how to behave!”
Bai wasn’t sure whether he was angry or scared, his face white.
Even now, he refused to repent, opening his mouth only to say, “My dad is…”
Gu Jin interrupted him, slapping him.
“I don’t care who your dad is, this is my territory. You made a mistake and must apologize,” she said coldly to the huddled group, her tone deadly: “Otherwise, no one leaves today!”
Without giving Bai a chance to speak, Gu Jin grabbed him like a chick and hauled him toward Gu Jiajie and others.
Gu Jiajie saw this fierce side of his cousin and his lips twitched momentarily.
He knew Gu Jin wasn’t to be trifled with, but it was his first time seeing her use such simple and brutal tactics.
Seeing Gu Jin dragging Bai over, Gu Jiajie glanced at the White Wolf accompanying her and then at their clients, whose faces showed fear. He stepped towards Gu Jin.
Alongside him was his secretary, Wei Yan.
“Xiaojin, just make your point, although this guy is really vile, he does have some backbone. Earlier I hit him pretty hard, seems like I broke his ribs.”
Gu Jiajie had fought fiercely with Bai and his group earlier, showing no restraint.
Especially when fighting Bai, he clearly heard the sound of Bai’s ribs breaking.
In his youth at Qingshan Village, fighting with his brothers was common, ruthless and brutal, and Bai and the others were no match for him.
Given Gu Jiajie’s intervention, Gu Jin wouldn’t normally escalate further.
But today she simply didn’t like Bai.
If he were a villain, he’d be shrouded in sinister aura.
If he were a good person, he’d have virtues surrounding him.
This kid was surrounded by gray mist, someone without fault but of poor character.
Like a spoiled child.
If not educated properly, he’d surely make big mistakes in the future.
How his parents think is baffling, holding high positions but not disciplining this brat, leaving him to be exploited.
Hearing Gu Jiajie speak up for him, Bai cast a proud glance at him but visibly exhaled with relief.
But as Gu Jin shook her head, his expression turned sour again.
Gu Jin threw Bai onto the floor, coldly staring at him, “Apologize!”
“I won’t!” Bai stubbornly refused, his voice trembling.
Even at this point, he refused to bow his head.
Sitting on the floor, holding his bitten arm, determination filled his eyes.
Gu Jin laughed sarcastically.
She raised her leg and kicked him to the ground again.
“I say you’ve got hard bones! It’s just a matter of saying a few words, why are you pretending to be tough?”
Gu Jin was baffled by how this kid was educated.
If it were someone else with a bad temper, Bai might have been cut down directly.
She believed she was showing restraint by asking Duoduo not to hurt others, yet the brat still wouldn’t relent.
Gu Jiajie felt the same as Gu Jin.
He also found Bai peculiar.
“We’ve fought already, no need for you to apologize to me, but you should apologize to her?”
Gu Jiajie pointed at Wei Yan standing nearby.
This kid verbally harassed Wei Yan, clearly in the wrong.
When wrong, one must apologize.
Bai didn’t even glance at him, stubbornly staring at Gu Jin, eyes showing grievance.
Gu Jin’s lips twitched slightly, Bai was indeed a peculiar one.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded behind her.
Gu Jin turned to see Mu Zifan rushing over, his face tinged with worry.
“Miss Gu!”
Seeing Gu Jin, Mu Zifan called out.
“Mu Da Shao.” Gu Jin raised her brows, her expression strange.
His demeanor didn’t suggest he was merely passing by.
She looked down at Bai lying on the ground, his face down, playing dead.
This scene looked amusing to Gu Jin.
Following Mu Zifan were several guards. Upon entry, their eyes immediately focused on Bai on the ground near Gu Jin’s feet.
Li Qingfeng stood near the door, glancing at Gu Jin, Gu Jiajie and company, and then at Bai, Mu Family and others, feeling overwhelmed.
What a day, filled with significant figures.
With King Yan fighting, minor ghosts retreated; he shrank his presence, exhausted.
Mu Zifan reached Gu Jin, staring at Bai playing dead, disappointment mixed with frustration on his face.
Even now, Bai refused to beg or seek help, just lay there feigning death.
As if nobody could see his disgrace.
Mu Zifan inspected Bai Lian’s arm wound, eyes flashing darkly; the wound clearly from a fierce beast.
He noticed the White Wolf near Gu Jin, understanding the origin of Bai Lian’s wound.
Mu Zifan shifted his gaze to Gu Jin, his handsome face showing some apology.
“Miss Gu, I apologize. The family junior was ignorant and caused you trouble.”
Gu Jin’s background, and her close relationship with the Darwin Family, compelled Mu Zifan to use respectful language.
Currently, the Bai Family’s legitimate heir, next successor, was her senior disciple at Chen Palace.
Considering these complex connections made Mu Zifan’s head ache.
Bai Lian was nothing but troublesome.
