Chapter 1235 - He Had Actually Escaped
Chapter 1235 He Had Actually Escaped
In the dark night, Gu Jingze's eyes were like butterfly wings. They suddenly flashed open, after which a hint of sternness shot out a ray of light in the dark like diamonds.
In the next instant, he pinned down An Lan and pulled her in front of him.
"Ah…" An Lan cried out.
Gu Jingze said, "Don't move. Otherwise, your throat may not be intact."
An Lan looked at him in shock. "Weren't you… Weren't you sleeping?"
"I haven't eaten anything for the past few days. So, my apologies. I'm not unconscious anymore."
"What? So you were starving?"
"That's right."
An Lan was genuinely very angry. She could not believe that he had not eaten and had starved himself, and had endured it for so long too.
But he usually seemed as if he was completely fine. She could not tell that there was anything different about him.
He said, "Get me out of here."
An Lan gritted her teeth. "You won't be able to get out. Hmph."
Gu Jingze tightened his hold on her. "Do you think that I won't kill you?"
An Lan's hands and feet instinctively turned cold as ice. She felt that her throat was actually about to be twisted and broken.
"You… You let go of me. How can you treat me this way? Your family is indebted to the An family. If you kill me…"
"Do you think I would care about these things right now?"
An Lan looked at his ice-cold gaze. She no longer dared to suspect that he dared not kill her.
He would really do it, and he would do it without the slightest hesitation!
"Fine, fine. I'll release you."
An Lan had not put on her clothes yet. Was he completely unmoved even when she was pressing against him like this?
However, true enough, Gu Jingze did not even glance at her body. She was in his hold but he did not even move slightly closer to her.
Seriously…
An Lan's tears streamed down her face. Was he not attracted to her in the slightest?
Just then, the people outside rushed in.
They were immediately struck dumb by the sight of An Lan undressed.
Crying, An Lan said angrily, "Turn around. You're not allowed to look at me…"
Everyone immediately turned their heads away.
An Lan asked, "Can't… Can't I put some clothes on?"
Gu Jingze said, "Sure. If you give me a gun first."
An Lan gestured for someone to give him a gun.
He released An Lan only when he obtained the gun.
An Lan looked down and first pulled her nightgown over her body. Then, she turned around angrily and said, "You can forget about leaving this place alive today."
Her shame had truly turned into fury. Since he loved Lin Che so much, he could just go and die.
Other people could forget about attaining what she was unable to.
However, Gu Jingze smiled coldly. "Is that so?"
The corners of his lips were upturned in an unusually striking and beautiful manner. There was a cold aura about his lips, causing An Lan to feel chills running down her back all of a sudden.
However, a few people immediately rushed towards him while holding their guns.
An Lan shouted, "Kill him! Whoever kills him will get a reward of ten million."
The moment they heard that they could get ten million, there was a wave of emotion in all of their hearts. They ignored everything else and immediately surged forward.
However, Gu Jingze instantly did a backflip. After kicking a few people aside, he fired two shots which caused the others to collapse immediately. Then, he pulled the curtain behind him and jumped out of the window directly.
What level was this…
He vanished without a trace after jumping down.
An Lan crawled to the window in surprise. "How could he…"
When she looked down, she witnessed Gu Jingze's outstanding agility. He simply followed the trajectory of the windows below and jumped down from window to window. To her surprise, he was nearly at the bottom.
"Quick! Go after him!" An Lan was genuinely anxious now. Was he going to escape just like that?
Fortunately, she had subordinates downstairs as well. Upon hearing her command, they immediately gave chase.
However, Gu Jingze managed to dodge everyone's bullets and ran across the road. When a car came close, he jumped directly onto it.
His movements were surprisingly smooth. Judging from his skills, he definitely did not seem like someone who was injured and had not eaten even a grain of rice in the past few days.
An Lan stood there and looked on in shock. So many people failed in their attempt and stood outside in a daze as well.
"Good gracious. Who was that person? He's so impressive."
"How can he run so fast?"
"His technique is way too good."
"He didn't even get shot once."
Everyone was looking on in awe from behind. By this time, An Lan had already run downstairs. When she saw the situation, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
A few of them rushed over to her, bowed their heads and said, "Miss, we didn't catch him… We're sorry. We didn't know that this person was actually so formidable…"
An Lan stepped forward and immediately slapped the person right in front. "Useless idiots."
Then, she looked at the rest of them and felt even more furious. "A bunch of useless garbage. If all of you were half as capable as the Gu family's bodyguards, you would not have let one man escape when there are so many of you."
But what could she do? He had already run away.
An Lan felt that this man was truly much more powerful than she had imagined.
But what could she do now? He had escaped. Would he come and seek revenge against her in the future…
She had to inform her family not to let Gu Jingze return to the Gu residence…
But after thinking about it, she felt that Gu Jingze was likely unable to get very far either. He had been injured so severely and may have been enduring the pain earlier.
An Lan quietly said to herself, How nice it would be if a man as good as him belonged to her. But now, he just had to pit himself against her.
He was terrifyingly powerful. If he could not belong to her… then, she would not allow anyone to have him…
Indeed, Gu Jingze had collapsed directly onto the ground in a field somewhere.
He had already lost consciousness by the time someone discovered him.
"Ah… Mother, quick, look. There's a man here."
A little boy was currently on an outdoor excursion with his mother and grandmother. When he saw this man, he was scared out of his wits.
The woman was merely an ordinary primary school teacher by the name of Wang Li. Her son was called Dong Dong. She hastily called out, "Dong Dong, come here. Let's call the police."
She was just about to call the police when Gu Jingze opened his eyes abruptly.
"Don't." He pulled Dong Dong towards him swiftly.
His eyes were open and there were remnants of blood on his face. Wang Li was overwhelmed when she looked at his face.
This man… was way too handsome. Especially right now. The stains had not made his face ugly at all. Instead, they gave him an aura of mystery and depth. His face, which had been exquisite to the point of being unreal, appeared even more vivid.
He was so handsome that she was struck dumb.
For a moment, Wang Li even forgot about calling the police.
Gu Jingze said, "My enemies are coming after me. Please help me. Don't call the police first. My family members are still waiting for me. Waiting for me…"
Wang Li hastily said, "Huh? Your enemies… coming after you. Who are you? Why do you have enemies?"
Gu Jingze said, "My enemies want to kill me off so that they can seize my family's assets."
"Ah… Then we should call the police quickly."
"No. My wife and son are still in his hands. I'm worried that they won't survive if you call the police."
Wang Li had never heard of such incidents. However, the bloodstains that she saw on his abdomen did not seem like ordinary bloodstains.
Dong Dong also looked down. "Ah. Is that a wound from a gunshot?"
Gu Jingze nodded.
Wang Li was finally starting to believe him. "Good lord. Is your family very rich?"
Gu Jingze said, "Not really. It's just that the opposing side is made up of complete scoundrels. They are capable of any misdeed. I can't take that risk."
"Alright. I won't call the police first."
For some reason, Wang Li unknowingly started to believe his words when she looked at his face.
