54: 024 Break Off Relations
Two cars faced off head-to-head.
Quan Shaoqing leaned against the car door, watching Gu Xiaoxi hug Lu Xi’s arm, coquettishly seeking attention.
He just quietly watched, as for what they said…
“Master, you’ve become even more handsome.
Why haven’t you come to see me after you left?”
“Haven’t I been busy?”
“Excuses.
Have you been looking for Sister Su?
You don’t keep your word; do you still want to marry me?”
“Xiao Xi, although everyone loves you and flowers bloom at your sight, your master was already taken ten years ago.”
Gu Xiaoxi burst into tears with a loud ‘waah’.
They say one who is nearby the water gets the moon first, and rabbits prefer the grass by their burrow.
How is it that for her, the grass near her burrow turned out to be as hard as iron?
Biting into it would break her teeth!
Gu Xiaoxi crossed her arms, glaring at Lu Xi with fury, “I’m going to sever ties with you.”
Lu Xi looked at Gu Xiaoxi, puzzled.
“Didn’t you just insist on marrying me just now?”
“Just now, you drove your car and nearly killed me.” Gu Xiaoxi’s ‘friendship’ capsized in an instant.
Lu Xi firmly grasped Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and then had her face Quan Shaoqing, “See that?
That man is worth 1.8 billion.
If you and your master kill him, I’ll give you nine hundred million.”
Quan Shaoqing’s slender fingers held a cigarette, lazily lifting his eyelids; in his eyes, a cold gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi shivered on the spot, turned around to pat Lu Xi’s shoulder, “Master, you’re mistaken.
He’s already mine.
That 1.8 billion is mine; why should I share half with you?”
Lu Xi widened his eyes in surprise and looked toward Quan Shaoqing.
Quan Shaoqing simply lifted his head arrogantly, glowering at Gu Xiaoxi, “You better hurry up and come back to me.”
As he spoke, a dozen military helicopters appeared in the sky not far off, their presence as imposing as a rainbow.
Lu Xi’s eyes narrowed—trouble!
This man had been stalling for time from the beginning; his support troops had arrived.
Was Quan Shaoqing trying to capture him?
Almost without hesitation, Lu Xi grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and pressed a gun to her head, turning her into a hostage.
Quan Shaoqing’s expression went through several changes, and he fiercely discarded the cigarette butt, staring at Lu Xi with deep eyes, “She trusts you so much.
Is this how you treat her?”
“I’m sorry, Xiao Xi,” Lu Xi glanced at the unmoving Gu Xiaoxi and looked back at Quan Shaoqing.
“If it weren’t for you forcing me, I wouldn’t have done this.
You’d better not act rashly.
I’m cold-blooded; I won’t show any mercy just because I knew her as a child!”
Lu Xi grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, took out handcuffs from behind him, and locked them on, then shoved her into the car.
Quan Shaoqing watched Lu Xi’s retreating figure, standing there with a cold presence, holding his service pistol aimed at him, “If you dare touch her, I’ll never forgive you.”
“That depends on whether you keep your promise.
If I reach a safe place, I’ll definitely let her go,” Lu Xi said as he positioned Gu Xiaoxi in the passenger seat and sat in the driver’s seat.
Throughout this, his gun was pointed at Gu Xiaoxi.
From beginning to end, Gu Xiaoxi sat without moving, seemingly flashing through too many thoughts in her mind, causing some confusion.
Lu Xi was kidnapping her, threatening Quan Shaoqing, and then fleeing?
This all seemed logical, but why did she feel so sad?
Once, they had spent a year together.
She thought there was at least some affection between them, even if not that of a master and disciple; perhaps a little friendship.
But the outcome…
Hehe…
“Lu Xi, you’ve hurt me!” Gu Xiaoxi turned her head, her deep gaze fixed on the man driving.
His face was identical to the one in her memory, yet it suddenly felt so unfamiliar that it was frightening.
“I also know that I’ve hurt your heart!
Xiao Xi, you have two choices: come with me or from now on, we live in two separate worlds.
Think it over for yourself.” Lu Xi had already put down his gun.
At this moment, he was driving the car at breakneck speed.
He wouldn’t kill her, but if Quan Shaoqing refused to let him go, he would certainly hurt her.
So, he neither hid his intentions nor offered explanations.
He was an international assassin, infamous for his cold-blooded ruthlessness.
There existed an unbridgeable distance between them and the military.
If she stayed, a confrontation between them was ultimately inevitable.
If she went with him, he would take her on a journey around the world, ensuring her complete safety.
Gu Xiaoxi sat in the car, her hands cuffed behind her and wrists painfully chafed.
Yet, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth, “Just a moment ago, I broke off ties with you!
You abducted me, and I’m not angry.”
“Stubborn!
Even though you can’t accept that your master could be such a person, I want to tell you this is the real Lu Xi.”
Gu Xiaoxi thought that if she hadn’t met Quan Shaoqing, she might have chosen to go with Lu Xi.
But now, she would not.
She turned to look back at the car.
ZO had been following them all along, and Quan Shaoqing’s troops had not caught up.
Perhaps he was the one who truly considered her safety.
He preferred to let go of the person who wanted to kill him rather than let her get hurt.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled faintly, turned her head to glance at Lu Xi, her eyes bright and shiny at first, then gradually turned deep and cold, “Well then, goodbye!”
As the car sped away, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hesitate to unlock the car door and leap out.
Lu Xi was startled, the steering wheel slipped from his grip, and as he reached out to grab at anything, he realized that his palm was icy cold.
Flashing before his eyes was her fleeting smile, and a sudden suffocation tightened in his chest.
Perhaps he had hurt her, not just in heart.
But also her dignity and pride.
Once, she had admired him!
Liked him!
She had loved him as a master, as family.
But when one day she realized that the thing she protected was nothing more than an illusion she had conjured…
How could she accept that?
Although Gu Xiaoxi used her Inner Strength and Qinggong, she still landed with a thud, her nose bruised and face swollen.
She rolled over a dozen times on the ground before finally steadying herself.
Struggling to sit up, she saw Quan Shaoqing’s car stop close by, the man running towards her in panic.
Gu Xiaoxi raised her head to glance at the vast night sky, suddenly feeling a sourness in her eyes.
Did she do something wrong?
Why were all the ones she liked, all the ones she cared about, leaving her one by one?
“Why did you fall out of the car?
Are you hurt anywhere?” Quan Shaoqing nervously unlocked the handcuffs from her wrists and lifted her from the ground.
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips, silent.
Witnessing the injury on her forehead, Quan Shaoqing felt both distressed and angry, tempted to scold her with “You deserve it.”
Wondering whether she would ever again throw herself at just anyone.
But as his gaze fell upon the teardrops on her eyelashes, all the words got stuck in his throat.
