The Canary that couldn't escape-Chapter 641 - 642: No One is Allowed to Touch My Woman 5

"Old Master Gu, I came alone as a favor to you. No matter what, I must ensure her safety as we leave today. If you insist on not releasing her, then I’ll have no choice but to use force," Mo Ran said.

As soon as the words fell, the click of Lei Li’s gun being aimed at Gu Hai could be heard.

Seeing this, the bodyguards wanted to draw their weapons, but Lei Li stopped them with a stern shout, "Nobody move! Try it and see whether your actions are quicker, or my bullets are."

Lei Li was recognized as the sharpest shooter in all of Asia, even if they drew their guns, they wouldn’t be faster than him.

Gu Hai, aware of Lei Li’s capabilities, felt a hint of fear in his heart.

But he remained composed, "Lei Li, the second-in-command, do you realize what you’re doing? The Gu family and Yan family have always kept to their own affairs. Do you want to start a war between the two families?"

Lei Li was growing impatient and sneered coldly, "Old man, your threats don’t work on me. I, Lei Li, never worry about the consequences when I act. Moreover, our Yan family isn’t afraid of swallowing up another Gu family."

Not only did Gu Hai’s face turn sour at these words, but so did Gao Meiru and Gao Zhenzhen’s.

What Lei Li said was awfully arrogant!

Mo Ran didn’t want any bloodshed because of her and said to Gu Hai indifferently, "I pose no threat to you. Let me go, or this standoff won’t be good for anyone. You wouldn’t want to suffer any losses over a nobody like me, would you?"

Gu Hai stared at her with cold, deep eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly nodded, "Fine, you may leave."

Lei Li put away his gun, grabbed Mo Ran’s wrist through the sleeve of his clothes, and led her outside.

"Dad, are we just letting her go like this?" Gao Meiru was not pleased.

"What else can we do? Deal with Lei Li as well?"

Gao Meiru choked up and stopped talking. Gao Zhenzhen watched Mo Ran’s departing figure with a flash of hatred in her eyes.

It was unexpected that even after she had left, someone was still secretly sent to protect her.

Did he really care about her that much?

Walking through the Gu family mansion, Mo Ran had been holding her breath the entire time, only exhaling once they were outside.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei," she said, truly grateful to him.

Lei Li let go of her hand, "No need to thank me, it was Gu Yixuan’s arrangement. If anyone should be thanking me, let him do it."

"Thank you," a deep voice suddenly emerged.
