Chapter 850: Everyone Was Completely Shaken Up!

Huo Zhi pursed his lips and turned to look at Gu Mang. “Gu Mang, I understand that you’re in a bad mood. We didn’t force you to do anything but you need to watch your limits.”

“Is it very strange that I have no regard for the elders?” Gu Mang asked rhetorically before laughing. “Aren’t you guys the ones who begged me to return?”

“Y-You…” Huo Zhi frowned as if he were helpless. Then he sighed. “Enough, be polite.”

Gu Mang had just returned and Old Master Gu did not wish to fight with her. He diverted the conversation back to the original topic but this time his tone was colder. “How did you handle Lu Chengzhou?”

Initially, Old Master Gu had not seen Lu Chengzhou as a threat.

But Lu Chengzhou sent an order to Killer Alliance to take Gu Mang away. Old Master Gu could not take this lightly.

Hot blooded youths tended to act rashly at such an age. If they did not solve this problem, it would be a big obstacle in the Gu family’s plan to return to power.

“All of you handled it so well. Do I have to do anything?” Gu Mang sneered. “The Lu family gave out three red ‘WANTED’ notices in a day.”

What she meant was that they blamed her for the death of Matriarch Lu.

Old Master Gu sipped his tea. “There was no need for things to reach such a stage originally.”

Gu Mang’s eyes were eerily bright and black.

Old Master Gu had sounded as if he felt sorry when he said the previous line. Then, he laughed and looked at her. “But if we hadn’t gone to such great lengths, would you have agreed to return?”

“Were you the one who poisoned Matriarch Lu?” Gu Mang asked in a cold and deep tone.

Old Master Gu sighed. “Matriarch Lu supported the Lu family alone for more than 20 years. Her whole life can only be summed up in one word: legendary. Who could have foreseen her own son betraying her?”

As soon as he finished speaking and before he could even smile, his hand suddenly tightened around the teacup that he was holding.

His expression froze.

“Gu Mang!”

“Old Master!”

Huo Zhi’s eyes shrank in fear. Gu Mang was holding a gun. The muzzle was pointed straight at Old Master Gu’s head.

Almost at the same time…

Thump!

A deafening gunshot echoed throughout the entire manor.

Guards swarmed into the hall. Dozens of guns were aimed at Gu Mang. “Put the gun down!”

Huo Zhi looked at the giant oil painting on the wall behind Old Master Gu. It was a portrait of Old Master Gu.

Right before pulling the trigger, she had shifted the gun upwards. The bullet rushed past the top of Old Master Gu’s head, embedding itself in between the eyebrows of the portrait.

Huo Zhi sighed in relief and turned to Gu Mang immediately.

Gu Mang’s gun was still aimed at Old Master Gu. She stared at Old Master Gu without blinking. Her cold eyes sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

Gu Yin had trembled fiercely when the shot was fired. She stared at Gu Mang blankly.

Gu Si was shocked as well. He would never have thought that his sister would dare to fire a gun in such a place and under such circumstances.

Old Master Gu’s eyes, which had looked excited, were now extremely gloomy.

He could feel the eerie, murderous intent radiating from Gu Mang. No one had ever dared to point a gun at Old Master Gu.

Never!

Huo Zhi had always thought that Gu Mang, who had almost blown up Base 102, was psychotic. He had not expected her to point a gun at Old Master Gu…

Did she know how many people on Jijing Island would be after her life if not for the Gu family protecting her?

Gu Mang gradually smiled, her eyes glowing red. “I’ll say it again. If you dare to mess with anyone else who is not involved in this matter, you will face the consequences.”

Old Master Gu’s sharp pupils constricted.
