Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 616 - 617: The Savior

"Was it really your doing?" Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes coldly stared at Murong Bai.

Murong Bai revealed a smug smile and said, "In Fengzhou City, besides my Murong Group, who else has that ability? Oh, I just remembered, Tianyu International seems to have that capability, but unfortunately, you Gu Yunxi are way out of your league!"

Saying this, Murong Bai lifted his foot and walked toward the living room, then sat on the sofa arrogantly, acting as if he were the owner of the villa.

"Leave here immediately!" Gu Yunxi snorted coldly.

"Would you be willing to let me leave?" Murong Bai ogled Gu Yunxi's chest and laughed, "Once I leave, in just one week, your Gu Corporation will definitely disappear from Fengzhou City!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat.

She asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"My demands are simple. Leave Xiao Tianyu and marry me. I guarantee your Gu Corporation will remain intact. Otherwise, you'll become the eternal sinner of the Gu Corporation. Weigh the pros and cons yourself!"

Murong Bai's face remained smiling, seeming to believe Gu Yunxi would compromise.

"Dream on!" Gu Yunxi's face grew even colder.

Click, click, click~

She stepped towards the door in high heels, but despite pulling the handle with her right hand, she couldn't get the door to open.

What's going on?

Gu Yunxi's clear eyes instantly turned: "Did you change the locks?"

"Realizing it only now? Too late!" Murong Bai laughed derisively, "If something happens here today, I don't think your grandfather would mind!"

Having said that, Murong Bai got up, stepped toward Gu Yunxi in shiny leather shoes. The malicious intent in his eyes spoke volumes, causing Gu Yunxi's body to instinctively tremble: "What do you want?"

Though both were inner sect disciples at Emperor Star Academy, Gu Yunxi knew clearly from previous encounters that she was no match for Murong Bai. If he really had any improper intentions, she'd have no means to resist.

"A single man and woman alone in a room, and you're my fiancée, what do you think?" Murong Bai's face revealed a wicked smile, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Yunxi's ample bosom.

Letting a woman like this fall into Xiao Tianyu's hands would be a crime on my part.

"Murong Bai, if you dare do something reckless, try it!" Gu Yunxi shouted loudly, "My boyfriend Xiao Tianyu will be back soon, and if he finds out, you'll face more than just a broken arm!"

"Xiao Tianyu?" Murong Bai sneered, "See that lock? It's a high-security dual-tumbler imported from Huaxia, fully automatic and integrated, made by Tianyu International. One lock costs millions in ancient coins. Do you think Xiao Tianyu can open such a lock?"

At these words, it was clear Murong Bai had long devised this plan.

"You're shameless!"

"Who's the shameless one here?" Murong Bai's voice suddenly cooled, "You were originally my woman, yet you held some ridiculous press conference. Now the whole world knows I'm wearing a cuckold's hat, making me the laughing stock. How should this be resolved?"

"I have no relation to you whatsoever, how could I make you wear a cuckold's hat? Don't overestimate yourself. Open the door!" Gu Yunxi shouted coldly.

"Open the door? Dream on!" Murong Bai sneered, "Tonight, I'll make you mine. Don't worry, you won't pay for this in vain. Here are the documents from various banks; once I'm satisfied, I'll make a call to restore your partnerships!"

"Shameless!"

Gu Yunxi snorted coldly, a chill permeating her body. If anything truly happened, she'd rather die than let this vile man succeed.

"Haven't I treated you well enough?" Murong Bai continued to look at Gu Yunxi, "In what way am I inferior to Xiao Tianyu? In terms of family status, I'm far ahead of him. He may be a bit more handsome, but can looks put food on the table?"

"In terms of character, you're nowhere near Xiao Tianyu. You'd better open the door or he surely won't let you off!" Gu Yunxi threatened Murong Bai, flaunting Xiao Tianyu.

Murong Bai sneered, "Are you stupid? I've already spent millions in ancient coins on this lock!"

"He could come in through the window!"

"Look at the window yourself. Can he get in? Forget him, even an Earth Level Realm expert couldn't get in!" Murong Bai coldly laughed.

Bang~

But at this moment, the door swung open.

Swish, swish, swish~

In the next second, both Gu Yunxi and Murong Bai's eyes turned sharply toward the door. Murong Bai was stupefied, seemingly incredulous. How… how did he get in?

Hadn't it been said that even a master key couldn't open this advanced tumbler lock?

Hadn't it been said that even an Earth Level expert couldn't budge it?

I got ripped off by that lock seller.

As for Xiao Tianyu, after his cold eyes swept over Murong Bai, they landed on Gu Yunxi, and he asked lightly, "Why didn't you notify me when you changed the password?"

"It wasn't me, it was him!" Gu Yunxi pointed her slender fingers at Murong Bai, continuing, "He entered my home without permission and replaced it with some million-worth dual-tumbler high-security lock!"

"Him?"

"Yeah!" Gu Yunxi nodded as a burden was lifted from her heart, impressed by his lock-picking skills.

Xiao Tianyu's cold gaze shifted to Murong Bai, and Murong Bai instantly felt enveloped in an icy fear. He was terrified; Xiao Tianyu had broken his arm twice before.

Finally, Murong Bai hesitantly spoke, "Uh, hey there, I won't disturb you any longer. I'm off to settle matters with the lock seller; I got scammed for a million!"

With that, Murong Bai intended to leave.

"Did I say you could leave?" A voice echoed in Murong Bai's mind.

Clang~

At the words, Murong Bai's legs went weak, and he fell into a seat on the ground. He quickly explained, "Oh boss, don't misunderstand! I was just testing the difference between this million-worth lock and an ordinary one. Turns out there's no difference; one hit and it's open!"

Actually, I'd like to ask—how did you open this lock?

"Is that so!" Xiao Tianyu responded calmly.

"Yeah!" Murong Bai nodded, "Uh boss, can I leave now?"

"Leave?" Xiao Tianyu said calmly, "Since you claim the lock is fake, if you're locked up, you should be able to open it yourself, right?"

Daring to call the lock made by Tianyu International fake is rather audacious.

Gulp~

Upon hearing this, Murong Bai swallowed down his saliva, looking bewilderedly at Xiao Tianyu, as he clearly doubted his ability to open the lock himself.
