They were in a relatively secluded spot, seldom frequented by people. At this moment, they heard approaching footsteps from a distance.
The scar-faced man immediately perked up upon hearing this, his eyes widening as he looked in the direction of the sound.
Hey, this girl has some skills; she really managed to deceive the boy to follow her!
They saw Gu Qin’er leading the way, with an exceptionally cute and delicate young boy following behind her.
Before coming to the backyard, the scar-faced man had carefully examined a portrait of the target individual. He was certain that this boy was their mission objective. Thinking about the imminent commission they were about to earn, he became so excited that his whole body trembled, ready to rush out.
The lanky man pressed his shoulder and whispered, “Wait a moment.”
Wait for what?
The scar-faced man furrowed his brows but remembered that they cooperated for many years, relying on the other’s caution to escape numerous crises. He might be in a hurry, but he still chose to listen to his partner.
Outside the artificial mountain.
Gu Qin’er said, “The woman is right here. Fortunately, my people found her and tricked her to come here. Otherwise, if she caused a scene in the front yard, it would have been a disgrace for the eldest sister.”
Gu Xiaonan angrily puffed up his cheeks. “Humph! I don’t believe it! Daddy loves Mother the most; he won’t betray Mother.”
The scar-faced man raised an eyebrow, thinking: This girl is quite clever, coming up with such a scheme.
Telling the child that his father was cheating on his mother would naturally arouse the child’s curiosity. Even if the child didn’t believe it, they would find it hard to resist digging deeper to uncover the truth.
The lanky man also felt somewhat surprised, thinking to himself that this woman was quite cunning.
“Where is she? There’s no woman here as you said. I knew you were lying to me. I’m leaving! Humph!”
Gu Xiaonan didn’t see anyone and heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, he started to get angry with Gu Qin’er.
After exchanging a few words, he turned and walked away.
Gu Qin’er tried to stop him while looking around continuously, furrowing her brows.
The scar-faced man leaped out from behind the artificial mountain, releasing a net from his hand and casting it towards Gu Xiaonan.
Seeing the net flying toward him, Gu Xiaonan twisted his body and, holding the small fox in his arms, dodged it.
“Bad guys! There are bad guts here!” Xiao Mei, perched on Gu Xiaonan’s shoulder, flapped her wings and flew upward.
The lanky man quickly emerged and formed hand seals, causing the ground to shake violently.
Gu Xiaonan became unsteady, swaying back and forth. Soon, an intense drowsiness washed over him, making it impossible for him to stay awake, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Xiao Bai, pressed under him, struggled to get out, “Squeak! Squeak!”
Young Master, don’t fall asleep! Wake up quickly!
Gu Xiaonan lay motionless on the ground.
Xiao Bai called out a couple of times, and his eyelids grew heavier. His body swayed a few times before he fell heavily onto Gu Xiaonan.
Xiao Mei flew in the nick of time, avoiding getting ensnared by the net.
Upon seeing Gu Xiaonan and Xiao Bai unconscious, it hurriedly flew towards them, exclaiming, “Young Master!”
Swoosh!
A powerful gust of wind struck, hitting Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei screamed in agony and fell from the sky, fainting.
Seeing that Gu Xiaonan and Xiao Bai were both unconscious and under control, Gu Qin’er, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Gu Xiaonan’s strength was not to be underestimated, even stronger than Gu Jinrong during his prime.
How could they easily bring him down like this?
Although there was an element of surprise in their attack, judging from their swift and efficient methods, the two of them were indeed formidable.
Gu Qin’er pursed her lips, approached them, and extended her right hand. “I’ve fulfilled your demands; give me the antidote.”
The lanky man ignored her and wanted to examine Gu Xiaonan’s face.
He was always cautious in his actions and needed to confirm that this boy was the real deal and not someone in disguise.
Gu Qin’er was unaware that Gu Xiaonan wore a mask on his face, as she had not stopped him.
Just as the lanky man’s hand was about to touch Gu Xiaonan’s face, he suddenly heard the faint rustling of fabric.
An alarm bell rang in the lanky man’s mind, and he acted decisively. He scooped up Gu Xiaonan from the ground and leaped into the lake, turning away.
The scar-faced man immediately followed suit.
“My antidote!” Gu Qin’er shouted loudly.
Half an hour was almost up.
“You little brat, shut your mouth!” The scar-faced man viciously slapped her, then dragged her into the lake with him..
