ABCFWGR Chapter 139: Personally Killed Zhiqiu

Hu Hankang arrived at Qionglou Yuyu.

To his surprise, Gu Chen was not at home, and his phone couldn't be reached either.

"No... could he have run away?" Hu Hankang's heart skipped a beat, but then he shook his head, saying, "No, no, Mr. Gu has never taken the Li family seriously from the beginning. How could he run away? Maybe he's busy with something."

With that thought, he prepared to leave the documents and go.

Just then, he heard the roar of an engine behind him. Turning around, he saw Gu Chen returning. Hu Hankang hurriedly ran up and opened the car door.

"Mr. Gu, you're back?"

"What are you doing here?" Gu Chen rubbed his forehead, looking slightly tired.

Hu Hankang was startled. What could make Gu Chen physically tired? 

One must know that upon stepping into martial arts, both spirit and physique become extraordinary, and fatigue is rare.

Moreover, Gu Chen was at the Earth Immortal stage!

"Old Madam He prepared a gift for you and asked me to deliver it," Hu Hankang quickly suppressed his doubts and handed over the documents.

"Got it. If there's nothing else, you can go back. I'm a bit tired." Gu Chen took the documents, threw them into the car without looking.

Hu Hankang hesitated.

Gu Chen glanced at him, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time to waste."

Hearing this, Hu Hankang cautiously asked, "It's actually not a big deal. I just wanted to ask how you plan to deal with Li Yukun?"

Gu Chen could see through his intentions and said indifferently, "Just do your job and don't overstep."

Hearing the warning, Hu Hankang nodded quickly, "I spoke out of turn. I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll take my leave now."

Gu Chen didn't respond.

Compared to when he came, Hu Hankang left revitalized, brimming with energy.

He had gotten the answer he wanted.

Gu Chen pushed open the door and entered the house.

The sudden absence of Jiang Rou made him slightly unaccustomed.

But now was not the right time to find Jiang Rou. He needed to deal with the current situation first and let Jiang Rou adjust herself for a while.

"Thud!"

Gu Chen took out something from his pocket and placed it on the table, making a dull sound.

It was a block of metal, neither iron nor copper.

Gu Chen's current weakness seemed to be caused by this object.

The bottom of the block was engraved with an ancient character, which translated to a modern word: "Slay."

"After hiding for so long, you've finally shown yourself?" Gu Chen's eyes flashed with sharpness as he looked at the block.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a sound of something breaking through the air was heard.

A maple leaf dart shot towards Gu Chen's heart.

With a clang, sparks flew.

The maple leaf dart hit the block Gu Chen had raised, leaving no mark.

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from outside, "What is that in your hand? My maple leaf dart is specially made, capable of piercing through refined steel. Why didn't it leave a mark?"

Gu Chen didn't answer her question. Instead, he picked up the maple leaf dart and threw it back.

Biu~

The dart embedded itself in the wall, just a step away from the forehead of the crazy woman who claimed to be from Fengye Hall.

"You should know that if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need to catch up to you. No matter how elusive your movements are, I have a hundred ways to end your life."

"I have no time to play games with you. For Zhiqiu's sake, I won't kill you. Get lost!"

Gu Chen's voice carried a chill, like water frozen with ice, sending shivers down one's spine.

He thought the crazy woman would retreat, but instead, more maple leaf darts came flying.

Like a rainstorm, they shot towards Gu Chen.

"Boom!"

Gu Chen's body emanated an overwhelming aura, his hair moving without wind, and his clothes flapping noisily.

The continuous "clang clang clang" sounds filled the air.

Without any action on his part, all the incoming maple leaf darts fell to the ground at his feet without exception.

"Get lost!" 

A powerful shout pierced the air, forcing the crazy woman hiding in the shadows to reveal herself, spitting blood and flying backward.

"Bang!"

The crazy woman landed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Her veil slipped off, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Her beauty was no less than Liu Hanyan's.

Panicking, the crazy woman hurried to pick up her veil, trying to cover her face.

But just as she was about to reach it, Gu Chen stepped on the veil.

Gu Chen squatted down slowly, pinched her chin, and examined her for a moment before coldly snorting, "No wonder you react like a cat whose tail has been stepped on every time Zhiqiu is mentioned."

The crazy woman's appearance bore a 70-80% resemblance to Zhiqiu, but compared to Zhiqiu's sharpness, she had a softer touch.

"Spit!"

Shuanghan spat angrily, "You have no right to mention her name in front of me!"

Her eyes were filled with boundless hatred.

Gu Chen frowned in surprise. His relationship with Zhiqiu was akin to that of close confidants, so he couldn't understand where Zhiqiu's sister's intense hatred for him came from.

But he didn't dwell on it.

"Considering you're Zhiqiu's sister, I won't make things difficult for you. Leave."

"Don't think I'll be grateful just because you spared me. I won't rest until I kill you!"

Shuanghan gritted her teeth.

"You really think I won't kill you?" 

Gu Chen, already annoyed, felt a surge of anger.

"Fine, kill me then. At least I can join my sister, and she won't be lonely."

Shuanghan had long since harbored a death wish.

From the moment she attempted to assassinate Gu Chen, she was prepared to die.

"What... what did you say?" 

Gu Chen looked at her in disbelief.

"Don't play dumb. You killed my sister with your own hands, and now you're pretending to be innocent in front of me. Do you find this amusing?"

Shuanghan screamed, filled with regret that she couldn't personally avenge her sister.

"No!"

"Zhiqiu couldn't be dead, and I would never kill her!"

Gu Chen struggled to control his emotions, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.

He rarely lost his composure like this.

"I saw it with my own eyes. Are you saying it wasn't real?"

Shuanghan, unwilling to accept it, suddenly leapt up, headbutting Gu Chen in the chest.

Even if she had only one breath left, she wouldn't let this heartless man have peace.

Gu Chen didn't dodge, taking the hit head-on.

But unfortunately, Shuanghan's strength lay in her agility, not her power, and the damage she caused to Gu Chen was negligible.

"You saw me kill your sister with your own eyes?"

Gu Chen suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Shuanghan hesitated but then replied with intense hatred, "Do you need me to watch you gut her to believe it? You're a heartless scoundrel. My sister was devoted to you, yet you treated her so cruelly. Is your heart made of iron?"

Gut her?

How excruciating must that have been?

Gu Chen couldn't even imagine the agony Zhiqiu endured before she died.

An immense wave of murderous intent surged from him, as if he wanted to destroy the entire universe.

Amid the sky and earth, only Gu Chen's anguished roar remained.

"Who? Who was it?"

"Blarg~"

Shuanghan, unable to bear the pressure, spat blood and fainted.
