C253 Make Concessions
"Don't be afraid. Go back and sleep!" Gu Zhengchu turned around to look at her, a relaxed smile on his face.
This bastard really did not care about face. They had clearly already fallen out with each other, yet he could still pretend as if nothing had happened. Furthermore, the people who came to save her had already arrived, but he still refused to let go.
"Who said I'm afraid? Those people came to save me? Once I leave this place, I'll have a better place to rest. At that time, I'll naturally have a better place to rest. " Tao Ning put down these words and prepared to walk around him to the main door.
In her heart, this was already the last words she said to Gu Zhengchu. It was good to say goodbye, but also good to treat it as anything. In any case, there was no future.
But when she passed by Gu Zhengchu, Gu Zhengchu only stretched out an arm and stopped her.
"Tao Ning, I don't want you to leave. Don't even think about leaving this place!" Gu Zhengchu stared at her, his eyes burning with raging flames.
If she hadn't said those words just now, the anger in his heart wouldn't have been ignited. He could pretend that nothing had happened to her in the past and not make a fuss about it.
But now, she wanted to leave him, and that had already touched his bottom line.
"Gu Zhengchu, this isn't up to you!" The one who said this was Fei Aoting, who had barged in. She stood at the door with a self-restrained temperament. She held a gun in her sensing uniform and aimed it at Gu Zhengchu.
"Miss Jiyue, please come over. I was sent by Director Wei to bring you home. My name is Fei Aoting." Fei Aoting had a sweet smile on her face and introduced herself first.
Because she was Wei Tingjun's personal assistant, she actually knew her a long time ago. Even if she did not introduce herself, she would still walk over.
But just as she took a step, her arm was grabbed by a strong hand. Without looking, it was obvious that it was Gu Zhengchu who was close to her, but he did not expect Fei Aoting to use a gun to threaten him. He actually dared to entangle with her.
"Gu Zhengchu, do you want to die?" Tao Ning turned around and stared at him coldly.
"If you really want me to die, then let her kill me. I will never let go." Gu Zhengchu sneered and shouted into her eyes.
"You..." What was he? Was he prepared to fight to the death? This was not the style Young Master Gu should have.
Did he think Fei Aoting would not shoot? Who was Fei Aoting? She was Wei Tingjun's most capable assistant. Wei Tingjun actually thought so highly of her. This proved that she was definitely a powerful character.
If this continued, even if she didn't say anything, Fei Aoting would still shoot him. At that time, he would be finished! Gu Zhengchu, do you really want to die so badly?
The force on her arm suddenly increased, and the pain also became deeper. But to Tao Ning, no matter how heavy the pain was, it couldn't be compared to her heart.
It's too late, Gu Zhengchu. My heart has been completely broken by you. No matter what you do, there is no way to fix it. I will never believe you again, and I will never fall in love with you again.
"Gu Zhengchu, let go of Miss Jiyue, or I will shoot immediately." Fei Aoting walked towards Gu Zhengchu while giving him a final warning.
However, what followed her voice was another voice behind her, "Miss Fay, you better not act recklessly. A gun does not have eyes."
Behind Fei Aoting, Anjie, who had suddenly appeared, also held a spear in his hand. He changed the situation in an instant. Originally, she and Fei Aoting had the absolute advantage, but Anjie's appearance... Immediately, Gu Zhengchu's side became the absolute advantage.
"Anjie, you dare to shoot me?" Fei Aoting bit her red lips, as if she did not believe this fact. There was obvious hatred on her face.
"If you shoot Young Master Gu, I will shoot you." Anjie's voice was full of threat, "Miss Fay, if you do not want to die, put the gun down immediately."
"Hahaha..." Following his words was Gu Zhengchu's proud laughter. The moment he let go of Tao Ning's arm, she fell into his arms.
"Tao Ning, you should have thought of this earlier. I, Gu Zhengchu, am not someone who will lose so easily."
Gu Zhengchu held her in his arms with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. He forced her to look up at his cold and arrogant smile.
"Gu Zhengchu, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Anyway, you can even harm my father. What else can you not do?" Tao Ning struggled for a while and looked up at him. She looked like she was not afraid of death.
From the moment she saw his true face, she no longer held any hope for him. She believed that he could do anything. That was why she had to wag her tail and beg for mercy from him. It was better to die a happy death than to live on with her last breath.
"Tao Ning!" The smile on Gu Zhengchu's face instantly disappeared. He squeezed her chin hard. Every word gave people a cold feeling of winter and night. "I will not do that thing about your father. If you slander me like this again... Don't blame me for being rude to you."
"You make it sound like you're being very polite to me right now." His chin was pinched by him, and he was forced to raise his neck. From this uncomfortable position, it wouldn't be easy for him to say something calm.
Not polite to her? She really wanted to laugh. When had he ever been polite to her?
Gu Zhengchu was stunned for a moment. His gaze was cold as he confronted Tao Ning.
And on this side, didn't Fei Aoting hate Anjie to the core as well?
"Anjie, I know you have always been ruthless, but you didn't think that you would be so heartless." In the past, no matter what abominable things he did, he had never pointed a gun at her head like now.
"Miss Fay, we each serve our own master. You should have expected this kind of situation." Anjie said coldly, but his expression clearly darkened.
He had indeed thought of this kind of situation a long time ago, but he never hoped that this kind of thing would actually happen.
"Humph, Anjie, I really misjudged you!" Fei Aoting sneered and did not want to get entangled with him anymore. "I came today under Director Wei's orders. No matter what, I have to bring Miss Jiyue back."
"But this matter must be asked by Young Master Gu." Anjie did not give in at all. He had made it clear that they were each serving their own master. She was doing it for her Wei Tingjun, and he was doing it for his Gu Zhengchu.
There must be a conflict between them, and since he was Gu Zhengchu's man, he would never compromise before Gu Zhengchu gave the order.
"Tao Ning, if you are willing to stay, I can let this person leave." Gu Zhengchu let go of the hand holding Tao Ning's jaw and turned to Fei Aoting.
He knew that Tao Ning wanted to leave him, but if she was willing to stay, he could compromise for her.
