Chapter 125 – For what reason? (Part 1)
“Pa!” Without prior notice, a fierce and resounding slap mercilessly landed on Lili’s pale face.
“You dare hitting me? Do you know who I am?!”
Lili instantly turned her head in anger to face the person who dared slap her so ruthlessly, but what she saw was cold and gloomy face with the inexplicable aura of a person in a high-ranking position. The man’s murderous glare sent shivers down her spine and made her heartbeats speed up, making her all the more flustered.
But the most important thing was, she felt like this man was familiar, yet, in her panicked state, she couldn’t remember who he was or where she’s met him before.
“Still not apologizing?!” The man angrily uttered in an ice-cold voice.
“For what reason?!” Lili’s face was slapped so ruthlessly that the corners of her lips quickly started bleeding, and her heavy makeup was smudged beyond recognition. Her current appearance was far from the famous star she was, and she cut a sorry figure while looking particularly fierce and sinister.
“For what reason? For his two legs!” The man roughly griped Lili’s collar and ruthlessly threw her in front of uncle Gou’s wheelchair.
“Look carefully. During the forest fire of Qiongzhou five years ago, it was exactly these two legs that saved the lives of a whole village. What about you? What’s the use of your legs except for opening them in front of wealthy men?”
The whole flowers’ and birds’ market’s bosses were stunned by the heavy information they’ve just learned. The honest and gentle uncle Gou who didn’t communicate much with people actually had such a glorious past? How come he never mentioned it before?
For these simple people, such heroes only appeared on TV and newspapers. They would have never expected that a great hero would actually live among them! The crowd’s view of uncle Gou changed drastically.
Even Lili couldn’t help feeling somewhat anxious and a little guilty. Coupled with the fierce man’s strong momentum and violent means, she didn’t dare utter a single word at this time.
“Apologize!” The man didn’t relent and once again coldly ordered her with his superior military aura, exuding a ruthless temperament that showed he wouldn’t mind using unscrupulous means if need be.
Lin Mumu recognized the cold man immediately as she had seen a picture of him together with Yun Ting. He was Gu San Shao, Gu Qi. (TN: I’m sorry, I don’t remember if I’ve explained this before, but Shao means young master or young gentleman, san means three so Gu Qi is the third young master of Yun Ting’s brothers. Same as Xing Shao meaning young master Xing.)
Yun Ting had told her before that among his brothers, Gu Qi was the most intelligent and skillful. He could meddle with both the black and white worlds, and was also the most thoughtful and scheming. (TN: The black world is the lawless underworld (gangs, thugs, crime) and the white world is the legal world with businessmen, the law and the police.)
