Chapter 235: Stubborn and Cold Blooded

Gong Jue’s heart skipped a beat.

An overwhelming suffocating feeling surged in his heart.

That corpse… was Xiaobei’s?

He initially wanted to educate her ruthlessly. How could the meaning of her life be tied to another person? She should live for herself!

But he couldn’t say it out loud.

Gu Qiqi’s gaze was too sorrowful.

That strong kinship even made him a little envious.

He had an older brother, parents, and a boy.

But he had never experienced being protected by someone who would sacrifice her life for him before.

On the contrary, when he was young, he was the one who was abandoned. He fought with death alone and with great difficulty…

A wave of darkness surged in his heart. He tasted blood in his throat and suppressed the rebuke.

Forget it.

She was bent on protecting him.

Then, he will protect her.

She was just a woman. It wasn’t like he couldn’t protect her!

What did it matter!

“You’re right. I don’t know the meaning of life. My profession is to face machines and codes. There’s no meaning to life.” He said coldly, “So you better be honest and not anger me again.”

She casually pulled off her jacket and draped it over Gu Qiqi.

A few of her clothes had been burnt and her snow-white skin was revealed.

Upon hearing Gong Jue’s unpleasant words, Special Assistant Lu, who was in the driver’s seat, felt complicated!

Master Jue!

Do you have to be so stubborn and cold-blooded?

You’re the leader of the Gong clan after all. It’s true that you led everyone to develop this high-tech product and these products are lifeless instruments.

However, even if they didn’t have life, they could bring meaning to life!

He had saved the lives of countless citizens of the Empire!

Recently, those hateful spies in the northern mountain range poisoned so many villagers and citizens of our empire.

If you hadn’t rushed over to oversee the deployment and save them, those citizens’ lives would have been crushed like weeds!

You’re saving their lives.

Others only saw that you were heartless, but they didn’t see that you saved more people!

Why didn’t you tell Young Lady Qiqi all these? Isn’t it the best chance to flirt with her by discussing your views on life with her?

He was anxious for Gong Jue, but due to his status, he couldn’t say much.

He could only try her best to signal Bai Lang with her eyes.

Bai Lang was still badly shaken. He had heard that the corpse he was carrying was actually Gu Qiqi’s younger brother.

He wailed. “I finally understand why I was reduced to carrying a corpse today. It’s a sin, Brother Xiaobei. I shouldn’t have done this. Back then, I fabricated your recording to sue your sister for evil. So, I deserve to collect this corpse for you…”

Special Assistant Lu’s eyes twitched.

Young Master Bai, I didn’t ask you to say this!

Bai Lang wiped his eyes and said, “So, you little vixen, you should listen to Master Jue’s words obediently! Sigh, I don’t understand. Since you’re someone who covets his money, you should do your job as a vixen and use him as much as you can. Look at you. You’re always afraid that I’ll have something on you but you always don’t follow the rules. You’ll be so unlucky if your King isn’t there to save you one day. Look at you. You must have caused the death of your younger brother…”

D*mn it. Special Assistant Lu simply wanted to hammer this b*stard with his cheap mouth to death.

How could he say that?

It was fine if he didn’t help, but wasn’t this adding trouble to Young Lady Qiqi?

But what surprised him was that Gu Qiqi didn’t retort Bai Lang this time. Instead, she said slowly, “It’s my fault. Thank you very much. Give me Xiaobei!”

She stretched out her hand and wanted to pick up the corpse that Bai Lang was carrying.

Her hand had yet to touch the corpse.

Suddenly, it was caught by Gong Jue’s big palm!

He shouted at her, “What are you touching?! I won’t allow you to touch it!”

His fierce tone made Bai Lang shiver.

Damn it. Master Jue’s mouth is even more vicious than mine.

But in the very next second, Gong Jue’s words shocked everyone.
