Chapter 235: Stubborn and Cold Blooded
Dear Commander-in-Chief
Gong Jueâs heart skipped a beat.
An overwhelming suffocating feeling surged in his heart.
That corpse... was Xiaobeiâs?
He initially wanted to educate her ruthlessly. How could the meaning of her life be tied to another person? She should live for herself!
But he couldnât say it out loud.
Gu Qiqiâs gaze was too sorrowful.
That strong kinship even made him a little envious.
He had an older brother, parents, and a boy.
But he had never experienced being protected by someone who would sacrifice her life for him before.
On the contrary, when he was young, he was the one who was abandoned. He fought with death alone and with great difficulty...
A wave of darkness surged in his heart. He tasted blood in his throat and suppressed the rebuke.
Forget it.
She was bent on protecting him.
Then, he will protect her.
She was just a woman. It wasnât like he couldnât protect her!
What did it matter!
âYouâre right. I donât know the meaning of life. My profession is to face machines and codes. Thereâs no meaning to life.â He said coldly, âSo you better be honest and not anger me again.â
She casually pulled off her jacket and draped it over Gu Qiqi.
A few of her clothes had been burnt and her snow-white skin was revealed.
Upon hearing Gong Jueâs unpleasant words, Special Assistant Lu, who was in the driverâs seat, felt complicated!
Master Jue!
Do you have to be so stubborn and cold-blooded?
Youâre the leader of the Gong clan after all. Itâs true that you led everyone to develop this high-tech product and these products are lifeless instruments.
However, even if they didnât have life, they could bring meaning to life!
He had saved the lives of countless citizens of the Empire!
Recently, those hateful spies in the northern mountain range poisoned so many villagers and citizens of our empire.
If you hadnât rushed over to oversee the deployment and save them, those citizensâ lives would have been crushed like weeds!
Youâre saving their lives.
Others only saw that you were heartless, but they didnât see that you saved more people!
Why didnât you tell Young Lady Qiqi all these? Isnât it the best chance to flirt with her by discussing your views on life with her?
He was anxious for Gong Jue, but due to his status, he couldnât say much.
He could only try her best to signal Bai Lang with her eyes.
Bai Lang was still badly shaken. He had heard that the corpse he was carrying was actually Gu Qiqiâs younger brother.
He wailed. âI finally understand why I was reduced to carrying a corpse today. Itâs a sin, Brother Xiaobei. I shouldnât have done this. Back then, I fabricated your recording to sue your sister for evil. So, I deserve to collect this corpse for you...â
Special Assistant Luâs eyes twitched.
Young Master Bai, I didnât ask you to say this!
Bai Lang wiped his eyes and said, âSo, you little vixen, you should listen to Master Jueâs words obediently! Sigh, I donât understand. Since youâre someone who covets his money, you should do your job as a vixen and use him as much as you can. Look at you. Youâre always afraid that Iâll have something on you but you always donât follow the rules. Youâll be so unlucky if your King isnât there to save you one day. Look at you. You must have caused the death of your younger brother...â
D*mn it. Special Assistant Lu simply wanted to hammer this b*stard with his cheap mouth to death.
How could he say that?
It was fine if he didnât help, but wasnât this adding trouble to Young Lady Qiqi?
But what surprised him was that Gu Qiqi didnât retort Bai Lang this time. Instead, she said slowly, âItâs my fault. Thank you very much. Give me Xiaobei!â
She stretched out her hand and wanted to pick up the corpse that Bai Lang was carrying.
Her hand had yet to touch the corpse.
Suddenly, it was caught by Gong Jueâs big palm!
He shouted at her, âWhat are you touching?! I wonât allow you to touch it!â
His fierce tone made Bai Lang shiver.
Damn it. Master Jueâs mouth is even more vicious than mine.
But in the very next second, Gong Jueâs words shocked everyone.
