The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 676 - 638: Who is this?

Gu Zhengyu’s prediction for this day has two results.

Either he defeats Gu Yanjing, returns to inherit the Gu Family, and finds a way to get Gu Shuluo out.

Or he perishes together with Gu Yanjing, even in death, he has to drag them down.

If he can’t pull him down now, then he’ll drag Qiao Yuxian.

Then Gu Yanjing will live in agony for the rest of his life.

Anyway, living is always painful. In that case, it is worth it.

Gu Zhengyu laughed maniacally, imagining how unbearable it would be for Gu Yanjing in the future, picturing his painful existence.

But when he glanced over, he found that Gu Yanjing didn’t show the anxiety he had imagined, nor the predicted collapse of pain.

Gu Yanjing was calm, as if the antidote didn’t matter.

Suddenly, Gu Zhengyu realized something seemed off. His laughter abruptly stopped, and he looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing said, "The only person who will die is you."

"What do you mean?" Gu Zhengyu suddenly panicked.

Gu Yanjing’s reaction was too calm, it didn’t seem fake at all. Where did it go wrong, where did it go wrong!

"You, what do you mean!" he asked again.

Gu Yanjing said, "The antidote is no longer necessary, there’s already a solution for Qiao Yuxian’s poison."

Shang Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, his heart constricted, and his eyes reddened with excitement.

He knew Gu Yanjing wouldn’t joke about such matters.

Besides, Mr. Gu’s reaction was off.

If that’s the case, then his reaction makes sense.

The poison is fine, the poison is no longer a problem. Shang Chen’s excited vision blurred slightly.

"How is that possible!" Gu Zhengyu said, "Deceive me with such matters? Is that necessary?"

"There’s no need." Gu Yanjing said.

Such simple words, yet they delivered a heavy blow to Gu Zhengyu, turning him into a clown.

Making him realize that everything he did was in vain.

In the end, he was the only one who lost.

Gu Zhengyu staggered backward two steps, his body deflated like a balloon, his soul seemingly drained away.

He looked at Gu Yanjing, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly puzzled as he gazed at him.

So why is he still kneeling?

Why?

Gu Yanjing saw his confusion and said, "This kneel is for the grace of your giving birth and nurturing me for over ten years."

Gu Zhengyu’s facial muscles twitched twice, and his pupils trembled in their depths.

Gu Yanjing looked into his eyes, paused for two seconds, and said word by word: "Yanjing, send Father... on his way."

As soon as he finished speaking, as he was about to slowly raise his gun-wielding hand, a gunshot suddenly sounded from afar behind him.

Everyone was taken aback.

Shang Chen instinctively shielded Gu Yanjing with his body.

At that moment, Gu Yanjing watched the bullet pierce Gu Zhengyu’s chest, blood splattering onto the broken wall behind him.

Gu Zhengyu’s continuous retreat halted, his eyes widened, incredulously staring at his chest.

His clothes were already soaked with blood, and time seemed to stretch infinitely, slowing down in this instant.

After looking at his chest, when he glanced back at Gu Yanjing, he couldn’t stand anymore, blood spilling out of his mouth as he knelt down.

Gu Yanjing’s pupils contracted sharply; as he knelt down, he instinctively reached out, a gesture to support him.

In the next second, his eyes were suddenly covered.

His ears buzzed, unable to hear anyone approaching, he reflexively gripped the hand covering his eyes, using all his strength.

"Yanjing, don’t be afraid, it’s Mom."

Shang Chen had already moved away from behind Gu Yanjing, Yan An stood behind him, covering his eyes, gently rubbing his shoulder with her other hand.

The voice was very gentle, soothing all the restlessness within.

Upon hearing this voice, the strength in Gu Yanjing’s hand immediately slackened.

While calming Gu Yanjing, Yan An watched Gu Zhengyu fall to the ground, slowly losing breath.

Her eyes contained hatred, satisfaction, and relief.

The person was dead and the past was all in the past, it’s time to put an end to it.

She was watching Gu Zhengyu when Gu Yanjing suddenly pulled her hand down and turned to face her.

Yan An immediately withdrew her gaze, smiled at him.

Gu Yanjing’s eyes were full of surprise. Hearing Yan An’s voice had stopped his movements, but he hadn’t fully reacted. Now he finally knew why his mother was here.

He even suspected that his ears had malfunctioned or he’d suddenly hallucinated.

But Yan An really was here.

"So surprised?" Yan An touched his face.

Gu Yanjing called out in disbelief, "Mom?"

"Yes." Yan An hadn’t seen him so surprised for a long time, she couldn’t help but rub his face, "Oh, it’s not as good to touch as when you were little, back then you were chubby."

Gu Yanjing finally came to his senses and confirmed that Yan An was really here.

He quickly got up, feeling both worried and surprised, emotions intertwining: "Mom, you..."

Before he finished, he checked her body for injuries, thoroughly examining her face, neck, and hands. Confirming she was fine, he relaxed a bit.

"I’m fine, don’t worry." Yan An patted the dust off his clothes, "I recovered long ago, I’m completely fine now."

Gu Yanjing still hadn’t fully recovered, his mind almost crashed.

Yan An had been ill for so many years.

Her presence here, he didn’t even dare to dream about it.

Shang Chen and the others had the same reaction.

Shang Chen stayed behind Gu Yanjing, and when Yan An patted his back to make room, he didn’t even know how he moved aside.

Upon seeing Yan An, he simply moved aside.

After stepping aside, he realized how she could be here! Scaring him as if the world had gone awry.

"Mom." Gu Yanjing called her once more.

Yan An looked up at him: "It really is your mom."

Gu Yanjing paused for a moment, then smiled, though his smile seemed a bit rushed and a bit forced.

Yan An also smiled.

"Mr. Gu." Wan Ying approached and called him.

People around moved aside.

Wan Ying came over and said, "Mr. Gu, Yan Ting was likely taken away by Yan Jiu."

"Likely?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"When we broke in, Yan Ting was already gone." As Wan Ying spoke, he glanced at Yan An, "Since we entered, Yan Jiu has been unseen."

The place where Yan Ting was kept held lots of people.

Once inside, they fought for quite a while.

To rescue Yan Ting, Yan Jiu proactively sought collaboration yesterday, came along today, but didn’t act together after entering.

"Someone saw Yan Jiu’s men retreating." Wan Ying glanced at Yan An once more.

Gu Yanjing fell silent for a moment.

Yan An watched Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing said, "Clean up and let’s retreat."

Gu Zhengyu’s base was large, the scene needed tidying, also needed a search for any important items.

Wan Ying replied, "Got it."

Once responded, he looked at Yan An again, then left with a confused look.

Yan An observed his bemused expression, feeling amused, then said, "Let’s go home."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing responded, then turned to glance behind him.

Yet he didn’t see Gu Zhengyu.

He had focused so much on Yan An’s surprise presence that he hadn’t noticed the many people standing behind him, completely blocking Gu Zhengyu from view.

Gu Yanjing checked, seeing mostly people from the Yan Family.

Yan An didn’t want him to see, so she grasped his wrist and said, "Let’s go."

Gu Yanjing looked at her and said, "Okay."
