Du Mingsheng, who was lying on the ground, stared at Gu Juexi with wide eyes and an open mouth.
As Gu Juexi came closer, Gu Tianxin burst into tears and screamed, “Juexi, Juexi! Thank goodness you are finally here! These people want to kill me!”
Gu Tianxin could definitely consider an acting career.
Gu Juexi glared at Gu Tianxin who was pulling at his arm. He shook her off and said, “Gu Tianxin, stop the act, it’s getting annoying.”
“Juexi, I’m your aunt. These people are coming for me, don’t you care?” Gu Tianxin yelled in a shaky voice.
Gu Juexi looked at Gu Tianxin and smirked. “Aunt? Why don’t you demonstrate how you walked away from these gorilla-sized killers without a scratch?”
Gu Tianxin retreated step by step until there was no way out.
“Where is Ai Mijia?” Gu Juexi demanded coldly.
“My mom was killed a long time ago, I showed you the video,” Gu Tianxin screamed. “It was that man! He killed my mom! You know who I’m talking about.”
Gu Tianxin was forced into a corner. Gu Juexi stretched his hands out and wrapped them around her neck. “I don’t want to repeat what I said. You and your mother are the same, you are all afraid of death. If you want to trade your death for your mother’s safety, I can grant your wish.”
Gu Tianxin was out of breath as Gu Juexi strangled her. She was struggling and smacking Gu Juexi’s wrists, trying to break free.
The two bodyguards were eyeing Gu Juexi cautiously, but they didn’t dare to charge at him.
Du Mingsheng watched the entire scene, his face pale and his body trembling in fear. Instinctively, he crawled back slowly.
“Let—Let go—”
“Where is Ai Mijia?” Gu Juexi snarled, increasing the pressure on her neck. He could break her neck in any second.
“I… I don’t know,” Gu Tianxin stuttered. Every word she spoke was torture.
Gu Juexi curled his lips and slowly approached Gu Tianxin. “Wow, I’m mesmerized by the loyalty and love you have for your mother. As you wish.” Gu Juexi made a final, fatal movement.
Du Mingsheng closed his eyes instinctively, the blood drained from his face. He slowly got to his feet, ready to run off.
Gu Juexi rubbed his wrist as he glared coldly at the woman who collapsed to the floor, then said flatly, “If you dare run away from here, Auntie Yuan will find out everything you’ve done.”
Du Mingsheng, who was running to the door, stopped instantly. He turned around and looked at Gu Juexi in horror. “You… You killed her, you killed her!”
Gu Juexi turned around and looked back at Du Mingsheng who was trembling vigorously. The young man had a wicked mind, but lacked the courage to face the consequences.
Gu Juexi put his hands behind his back and stared at the two bodyguards who were also stepping back. “I killed her? I, Gu Juexi, have more blood on my hands than the lines of code you wrote. Do you think I care about another body? If you die here, Auntie Yuan will only assume you have disappeared into thin air. It is better than letting her know how many illegal crimes her son has committed.”
Du Mingsheng shook his head and retracted his steps dejectedly. He was convinced Gu Juexi would kill him. After all, he had killed Gu Tianxin, his own aunt.
“Mingsheng, I know you know the contact information of the person you worked for, and I’m sure you must have traced her back too. Now, all I need from you is her location and I’ll help you clear all your wrongdoings in the past. You can start over, and I promise you that Auntie Yuan will never know about this at all.”
