Chapter 556 Damn, I’ve been despised by Bao Gucheng twice, twice!
Fine, both are ruthless, both are lunatics!Gu Jingyan propped himself against the wall and slowly climbed up.
He saw Nangong Mo’s phone kept ringing, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he caressed the sea coral for a long while, lost in thought, and then started to head back up the stairs.
Gu Jingyan, still catching his breath, angrily questioned Bao Gucheng, "You know he’s a lunatic, even if he kills someone here, he can escape the law. Why do you keep provoking him over and over?"
Bao Gucheng said indifferently, "I find him annoying."
Don’t think for a moment that he couldn’t see it. Nangong Mo was in such a hurry to get here, not because of him, just like at the last socialite party, Nangong Mo’s target was clear.
He was looking for someone.
Looking for who?
Was he looking for Zuzi?
So, he needed to stall Nangong Mo, couldn’t let Zuzi be exposed to this psycho’s eyes.
Wouldn’t that infuriate this lunatic to start killing?
He hadn’t even considered it.
Didn’t matter.
Gu Jingyan was again furious to the point of spitting blood by his nonchalant words.
Finally calming himself, he lost interest in the rooms on the lower floors and wanted nothing more than to head back.
But first, he had to find Zuzi.
Just as he was about to make a call.
A jade-like hand lightly patted his shoulder from behind: "Xiao Yan, what’s the rush?"
Gu Jingyan’s breath hitched. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel★fire.net
Instinctively, he looked nervously up the long jade stairs, vaguely seeing Nangong Mo’s silhouette disappearing up the first set of stairs.
The underground echoes carry far, easily heard above!
The lunatic hadn’t left yet, might even turn back to kill.
Gu Jingyan quickly reached out, covered Zuzi’s mouth, lowering his voice, "Don’t speak!"
However.
Before his fingers could touch Zuzi’s soft lips.
His body was yanked aside with great force, flung to one side, "Get your dirty hands off her, don’t touch her."
Bao Gucheng flung Gu Jingyan aside, full of possessiveness, he pulled Zuzi into his arms, "Didn’t run into that psycho?"
Zuzi thought for a moment, "Mm-hmm."
The man hadn’t seen her, so that didn’t count as a meeting, right?
Bao Gucheng sighed lightly in relief, "That’s good. Do you want to keep looking downstairs?"
Zuzi shook her head, "I’ve seen it all."
Bao Gucheng gently acquiesced to her, "Then let’s go back, hm?"
Poor Gu Jingyan, totally ignored, felt like he was going to spit up all his blood, "..."
Damn, damn, this is the second time today he got brushed off, the second time!
He wanted to protect Bao Gucheng for his sister, but got pushed for being dirty; he wanted to protect his own sister, and again got pushed by Bao Gucheng for being dirty. Bao Gucheng, you are way too much, don’t you ever think there’ll be a day you call me brother-in-law, how will you face me then.
Limping, he followed Zuzi and Bao Gucheng up the jade stairs, swearing never to play third wheel again.
The third wheel is detested, the third wheel has no rights!
Puffing with anger, he finally reached the surface.
Accidentally overheard the workers at the entrance chatting:
"The CEO was just angry, saying the mechanism button below was broken, and we didn’t repair it in time."
"Ah, which button was broken?"
"Seems like it’s the coral tree on the thirteenth level, just move that coral bead and it’ll collapse a level of stairs."
"Oh no, but now we can’t go down to fix it, Mr. Bo has sealed off the underground palace, even our construction manager can’t get down there."
