There is a luxurious private room at the very center, reserved exclusively for Xu Ze Fang and his companions by Gu Ruandong.
At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open from the outside.
A group of people having fun inside heard a loud BANG and angrily looked towards the door. They were about to yell at whoever the idiot was who dared to kick their door, when…
When they saw Gu Ruandong standing at the door, everyone abruptly stood up, and some even panicked to block a tall woman among them.
But the woman smiled, pushing aside the men who were trying to protect her, and stepped forward, smiling brightly.
“Gu Ruandong, long time no see!”
She smiled.
But then, I saw Gu Ruandong at the door. He suddenly radiated a menacing aura and his eyes were fierce. He strode into the room towards her. As he got closer, he picked up a bottle of wine from the table and smashed it against the corner with a loud clang, breaking it in half. He was holding one half of the broken bottle, the jagged edges like a collection of sharp knives.
Before anyone could react, he had cornered the woman against the wall. The broken end of a half-empty bottle was pressed against her neck, poised to pierce her throat with its sharp edge if he exerted even a little force.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was cold and ruthless.
“If you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll make you bury with her!”
Ruthless, heartless, and full of killing intent, that was his true self. Xu Ze Fang and the others were terrified and rushed over.
“Young Master Gu, she’s Bao Sang, Bao Sang!”
I tried to wake him up with those two words.
Baosang was backed into a corner, her whole back pressed against the wall. A bottle of alcohol had cut into her neck, leaving a tiny, prickling pain. But she still smiled:
“This is the real you, Gu Ruandong, with your wolfishness and wildness. You’ve lived a peaceful life for too long, do you really think you’re a civilized person?”
Gu Ruandong’s hand tightened its grip, driving more of the sharpened blades into her neck. As blood seeped from Baosang’s pale skin, Gu Ruandong showed no mercy:
“Now that you know what I’m like, if you dare to touch her again, you know the consequences. I always keep my word.”
Bao Sang ignored the pain in her neck, even the smell of blood stimulating her: “Don’t worry, I have no interest in your woman. I’m just disappointed in you. Look at what you’ve become for a woman? Yesterday, I was standing on the side of the road, but you didn’t notice me at all. Where is your vigilance?”
Yesterday, he got out of the car and his eyes were only on that woman. He completely ignored the surroundings. If this had happened before, he would have died hundreds of times already.
Besides Xu Ze Fang and the others probably knew what Bao Sang had done after being released from prison to make Gu Ruan Dong so angry. Seeing that Gu Ruan Dong wasn’t as furious as when he first entered, they hurriedly came over to persuade him.
“Young Master Gu, we’re all on the same side. Don’t be angry.”
“Bao Sang coming out is a joyous occasion.”
Gu Ruandong then took the half-full wine bottle from her neck and smashed it on the ground, shards of glass scattering everywhere. He didn’t glance at Baosang much, but sat directly in his usual spot.
He was a completely different person from when he first came in. Now, he seemed nonchalant, with a hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his lips even when his face was expressionless. He looked like he was smirking, but he wasn’t. He just stared at Jin Haoyu and Xu Zefang and the others, making them all feel uneasy. They came over one by one and said:
“Young Master Gu, Bao Sang coming out wasn’t intentional to hide from you.”
“This is the first time we’ve met.”
They indeed only knew she was coming out, but not the specific date. Baosang is elusive, appearing and disappearing at will. Today, he arrived at the club and notified them one by one.
Baosang sat on the sofa opposite, her eyes fixed on Gu Ruandong. Chen Xinmin stood beside her, handing her a piece of paper to wipe the blood from her neck.
She waved her hand and said no, but when no one was looking, she took a teacup from the tea table and threw it at Gu Ruandong. Gu Ruandong reacted quickly, turning his head slightly, but the teacup still hit his lip corner and then shattered on the ground.
The entire room was deathly silent.
Gu Ruandong still tilted his head, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips with his thumb, his eyes dark and unclear.
Bao Sang: “Now it’s my turn to settle the score with you. This is what you owe me. When my father passed away, you hid it from me. What was your purpose?”
Gu Ruantong wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and looked up at her: “What do you think?”
As usual, he avoids answering and throws the question back.
Chen Xinmin: “Ba Shu was sent off by a few of us. He passed away peacefully. You were inside at the time, Shao Gu didn’t want you to be sad so he kept it from you.”
“Yes, Bao Sang. Master Bao’s grave is also a feng shui treasure chosen by Shao Gu specifically for his burial. Tomorrow, let’s go up the mountain together to see Master Bao. He will be very happy to know you are out.”
Several people acted as mediators, trying to persuade both sides. It was a strange sight to see former comrades who had once worked together now turned against each other.
Gu Ruandong said no more and did not look at her again.
Everyone in this room hopes he won’t look back. Their interests are deeply intertwined, and Gu Ruandong is the most crucial link. If that link breaks, they’ll fall apart like sand, scattered by the slightest breeze.
The room was surprisingly quiet, the only sound coming from Gu Ruandong’s phone, which buzzed occasionally. He opened the screen to see that it was Lu Yaoyao sending him messages at this hour.
“When will big brother be home?”
“Have you been drinking? Should I pick you up?”
The girl was subtly hinting that it was time for him to go home. After a few seconds, she tried to explain herself, avoiding the topic like someone trying to hide something.
“Just mind your own business, I’m just missing you a little. I was wondering what time you’re coming home. No pressure though.”
This is a very clear prompt.
Gu Ruandong’s smile this time was genuine, he chuckled to himself and replied on his phone: “Be home soon.”
After finishing his reply, he got up and treated everyone in the room as if they were air. Only when he was about to leave did he instruct Chen Xinmin: “You guys go see Boss Bao and bring him a bouquet of flowers from me.”
He himself is not planning to go.
Can’t turn back? <<<
How could he not turn back, people were waiting for him at home.
On the drive home, I was probably lost in thought. When I got back, I caught that running figure without even thinking and completely forgot about the wound on my lip.
Bao Sang got hit by that teacup and cracked his lip. There should be a bit of bruising there too.
He would have habitually bowed his head to kiss her, but she suddenly pushed him away, pointing at the corner of his lips.
“Fighting?”
The tone was normal, not overly surprised, but there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
“Well,” he didn’t conceal.
“Wow, you’re so old and still fighting with people?” She scolded him, not bothering to ask why or who he fought with.
After giving her a dressing down, he told Cuiping to fetch the first-aid kit.
“No, it’s fine.” He held her hand. What was this, a scratch? He’d rather spend the time holding her than on some ointment.
But as she took the medicine box from Cuiping’s hands, she pushed him onto the sofa and began searching for antiseptic water and cotton swabs seriously.
