730: Did You Really Think One Cheng Jie Was Enough to Pay the Debt?

Did You Really Think One Cheng Jie Was Enough to Pay the Debt?

The atmosphere in the lobby of the Bai family's fortress was tense. 2

Qian Yikun pointed his gun at Gu Juexi who was standing straight now with his real face. 

Besides Qian Yikun, the bodyguards of the patriarchs were also pointing their guns at Gu Juexi. 

Gu Juexi's gaze skimmed over the faces of the patriarchs in contempt. 

"Gu Juexi…" The first patriarch squinted at Gu Juexi. "We have been minding our own business. Might I ask what Mr. Gu came here for?" 

Gu Juexi smoothed his shirt and curled his lips. "The lives of my ten brothers. Did you really think one Cheng Jie was enough to pay the debt?" 

"Gu Juexi, you…" 

Gu Juexi smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeve and looked at the patriarchs who were looking at him defensively. 

"You are going too far, Gu Juexi," said the fourth patriarch. 

Gu Juexi smirked at the fourth patriarch. "So what if I have gone too far? What are you going to do about it?" 

"Do you think you are going to get away from here, Gu Juexi? Ye Yuwei is here too, are you going to just ignore her and pick a fight here?" The sixth patriarch spat viciously. "Everyone knows that the almighty Gu Juexi has only one weakness—Ye Yuwei." 

"So you admit that that was what you brought my wife here for. You didn't bring her here because she was the heir of the Bai family, you brought her here to tie me down," said Gu Juexi emotionlessly with his shirt looking as smooth as silk.

"Is this how you show your gratitude to my father, Uncles?" Bai Ying demanded as she looked at the patriarchs angrily. 

"Let's kill this guy first if we have to talk about it, Bai Ying." The second patriarch said impatiently, having already pointed his gun at Gu Juexi. 

"The young miss is not in her room, First Patriarch," said a maid who had run down the stairs to the lobby hastily. 

The first patriarch's expression darkened and he ordered that Gu Juexi be killed. 

Shots were fired the moment the first patriarch gave his command. Gu Juexi lunged and pushed Bai Ying aside, while Qian Yikun opened the way for him with two guns in each hand. 

"Qian Yikun!" The first patriarch shouted as Qian Yikun led the way for Gu Juexi. "Go upstairs," Qian Yikun told Gu Juexi. 

Gu Juexi snatched the two guns from Qian Yikun's hands and fired shots at two men who were going to ambush them. "Take the mistress upstairs," said Gu Juexi. 

"Gu…" 

"Objection overruled," interrupted Gu Juexi as he kicked the sofa aside to block the way of a few bodyguards who were coming after them. 

Qian Yikun frowned and quickly took Bai Ying upstairs. There were hiding spots upstairs, but it wouldn't keep them safe for long if they didn't leave the fortress. 

"You are trapped here, Gu Juexi. You are not getting away from us," the second patriarch yelled. 

"Try me," Gu Juexi growled as he shot at the chandelier and quickly fled upstairs. 

"Tell everyone to transfer the data and leave the sites," the first patriarch roared. He was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. 

"Good luck with that," said Gu Juexi coldly amongst the sound of gunshots. 

The three of them were forced into Bai Ying's room, while Nalan Chunbo was nowhere to be seen. 

Qian Yikun went to the window and looked down. "They were well prepared, it is quite impossible that we leave this place today." 

Gu Juexi pushed the wardrobe to the door to stop people from the Bai family from coming in. "This place is not safe. Take the mistress with you and leave using the underpass." 

"What about you?" Qian Yikun asked worriedly. 

Gu Juexi listened to them banging the door, and believed that they might blow the door up soon. 

"I will blow this place up," said Gu Juexi emotionlessly, "the Bai family fortress looks like the safest place ever, but Master Bai had actually done otherwise in a worst-case scenario."
