ABCFWGR Chapter 77 Why Aren't You Leaving Yet?
"I can't explain it to you right now, but I will handle the situation."
Gu Chen didn't want to waste words; there was no point in half-hearted communication.
Before Chen Yuwei could say anything else.
On the other side, impatience had already set in. Zhang Tieshou angrily shouted, "How long are you going to flirt and banter?"
"What are you barking about?" Gu Chen coldly glanced at him. "Have you forgotten how you saved your life?"
"You..."
Kneeling and kowtowing, utterly humiliated, Zhang Tieshou was speechless with anger, wishing he could tear Gu Chen apart.
Li Chen couldn't contain himself any longer and directly ordered, "Get them! Kill him!"
In an instant, dozens of guards assembled and charged towards Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took a step forward.
Before Gu Chen could act, a figure suddenly flashed from outside the door, and with a few muffled sounds, cleared out the guards at the forefront.
"Stop!"
A woman's sharp voice resounded through the warehouse.
The remaining guards, already intimidated by her skills, stopped in their tracks.
Li Chen stepped past Zhang Tieshou, his voice harsh. "Who are you to dare to stop me? Do you think I won't kill you along with him?"
"Outrageous!"
The woman's expression turned cold. "I am Xia Xiaorou, assistant to the War God Feixue. Do you dare to touch me even as a member of the Li family?"
Feixue War God?
The top female warrior of Great Xia?
Upon hearing this title, everyone was stunned.
Gu Chen was also surprised; he couldn't understand why Xia Xiaorou would appear here.
"Is it true just because you say so?"
Li Chen's face twisted with disbelief. "You need to show some real skills to convince us. Zhang Tieshou, go and test her!"
Zhang Tieshou hesitated, feeling reluctant to act recklessly. Offending someone related to the Feixue War God was no joke.
"You bastard, is what I said not good enough?" Li Chen's frustration was evident.
Zhang Tieshou hurriedly said, "Third Young Master, please calm down first. Let me clarify this matter. In case she really is associated with the Feixue War God, it's better not to offend her."
Li Chen glared at him fiercely. "I'll settle the score with you later for not protecting me last time and defying me in public this time."
Zhang Tieshou pretended not to hear and turned to Xia Xiaorou. "You said you're the assistant to the Feixue War God. Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
"I'm standing here; that's proof enough!"
Xia Xiaorou replied coldly, "If you don't believe me, go ahead and try, but I must remind you that the Feixue War God is on her way to the Li family. I don't mind reporting your actions truthfully."
This wasn't a reminder; it was clearly a warning and a threat.
Li Chen's expression changed.
Zhang Tieshou said cautiously, "Assuming everything you said is true, there's one thing I don't understand: why would the Feixue War God intervene in the Li family's affairs?"
At this, Xia Xiaorou instinctively glanced at Gu Chen, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain. However, she said, "Naturally, it's for justice. You've disregarded the law, privately detained so many people, and caused several deaths. Shouldn't someone intervene?"
Li Chen and Zhang Tieshou's faces changed abruptly. If this was true, it would be big trouble.
Zhang Tieshou's eyes flickered. "Miss Xia, there must be a misunderstanding. How could we violate the law? We merely invited these people here to play a game. If you think it's against the law, we'll release them."
"Do you think I'm blind? What about the injured people in the cages outside?" Xia Xiaorou's eyes turned cold.
"That must be a mistake you made." Zhang Tieshou stubbornly insisted.

"We can't linger on this issue. Quickly, tell Miss Xia, did I and the Third Young Master invite you here to play a game, or did we tie you up?"
The Chen family members in the cage looked at each other, and some clearly wanted to tell the truth.
Li Chen also realized the situation. He kicked the cage beside him and shouted, "Speak up properly! If anyone dares to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
The threat was obvious, and no one was a fool.
The people in the cage all scrambled to speak, saying they were invited here to play a game.
...
Chen Yuwei clenched her fists, several times wanting to speak up.
Gu Chen noticed her reaction, silently observing without commenting. However, if Chen Yuwei wanted to tell the truth, he would definitely protect her safety. As for the choice itself, it depended on Chen Yuwei.
In the end, Chen Yuwei chose to submit.
She didn't dare to risk everyone's lives. After all, the Li family was powerful, and if the Feixue War God couldn't be dealt with decisively, the consequences would be too much for her and the Chen family to bear.
Seeing this, Gu Chen silently shook his head.
Chen Yuwei happened to see this and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"
"Nothing, just a bit stiff in the neck," Gu Chen didn't want to argue with her.
Chen Yuwei suddenly felt aggrieved. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I may be too cowardly to speak the truth, but anyone can look down on me except you. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"
For some reason, she always lost her reason when facing Gu Chen.
Gu Chen frowned but remained silent.
At this moment, Xia Xiaorou's voice sounded, "Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter. The Feixue War God will naturally clarify with the Li family's master. Now, release the people!"
"Are you finished?" Li Chen suddenly became irritable. "Although Feixue War God is prestigious, the Li family has stood in An Province for a hundred years. We won't be bullied! If you dare to come at us, we'll fight to the death!"
"Insolent!" Xia Xiaorou's figure shot out, palm striking towards Li Chen. She would not tolerate any disrespect towards the Feixue War God.
Zhang Tieshou didn't dare to stand by, quickly intercepting.
The two palms collided, and then separated.
But Xia Xiaorou was clearly at a disadvantage, being forced back a step, while Zhang Tieshou only retreated half a step.
"Miss Xia, please don't act rashly. Although our Third Young Master has a bad temper, he means no harm. Please don't sour the relationship." Zhang Tieshou spoke nonsense, then whispered to Li Chen, "Third Young Master, tolerance prevents trouble. Don't cause trouble for the family head."
Li Chen snorted heavily but didn't provoke further.
Xia Xiaorou knew she couldn't act recklessly; she wouldn't benefit from it. With a stern face, she said, "I'll ask one last time, release the people or not?"
Regardless, the priority was to release the people first.
"Release them, just release them."
Zhang Tieshou signaled for the guards to open the cages.
As soon as the cages were opened, the people from the Chen family rushed out towards the gate like madmen.
Seeing that Chen Yuwei was still relatively calm, Xia Xiaorou said, "You can leave too. Don't let them run around like headless flies. Leave An Province as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Miss Xia. And please convey my thanks to the Feixue War God." Chen Yuwei was full of gratitude.
"I will deliver the message." Xia Xiaorou promised.
Chen Yuwei turned and left without another glance at Gu Chen.
Noticing that Gu Chen still showed no intention of leaving, Xia Xiaorou couldn't help but furrow her brows. "Why aren't you leaving? Are you staying here to die?"
"Your matter is resolved, but mine isn't," Gu Chen replied indifferently.
