Gu Jiajie’s face, initially worried, now showed a mix of concern and shock upon seeing his cousin’s move, rendering his expression quite peculiar.
As for the henchmen of Cripple Liu, they were also intimidated by Gu Jin’s actions.
Of course, there were those who reacted quickly and foolishly, charging straight ahead.
"Let go of Brother Liu!"
That man held a short knife in his hand.
Seeing the knife in his hand, Gu Jiajie’s eyes widened in fear: "Xiao Jin, be careful!"
Gu Jin turned around just as Cripple Liu’s man rushed at her. She didn’t lessen her grip on Cripple Liu’s hand and kicked the charging man.
"Bang!"
The man was kicked into the air, landing quickly on the ground, followed by cries of pain.
This strike was no lighter than Cripple Liu’s earlier blow.
Liu Quan glanced at the heavily hit man on the ground, then looked up at Gu Jin and the barely breathing, purple-faced Cripple Liu, and he swallowed involuntarily.
"Miss, if you don’t let go, Cripple Liu is going to die."
Gu Jin raised her eyes, her gaze cold as she looked at the Cripple Liu she was holding by the neck and lifting high.
With a swing of her arm, the Cripple Liu in her hand collided against the nearby wall once more.
With a loud bang, the nearly lifeless Cripple Liu crashed to the ground again.
"Cough, cough..."
Struggling to breathe fresh air despite his injuries, Cripple Liu clutched his neck and coughed incessantly.
Gu Jin’s voice seemed to carry the sharpness of ice: "Don’t ever let me see you again, or I have a hundred ways to make sure you die without a whole body!"
Cripple Liu could hardly hear her words; having narrowly escaped death, he cowered in the corner, breathing heavily.
Knowing Gu Jin was nearby, he dared not move an inch.
All these years, with lives claimed at his hands, nobody dared to provoke him easily.
Even Liu Quan, one of the more powerful figures in the county, wouldn’t dare to act against him.
Today was the first time he tasted the flavor of death, leaving him horrified, terrified beyond words!
Seeing his scared look, Gu Jin squeezed the bamboo basket’s strap and turned to find Gu Jiajie’s silhouette.
Seeing an indescribable twist on his face, the expression was too spectacular to be put into words.
However, despite being a good-looking young man, his twisted expression made him uglier than conceivable.
Gu Jin, holding the bamboo basket strap, walked towards her cousin.
Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief seeing Gu Jin release Cripple Liu, giving her a wary glance.
The skill she displayed earlier was truly impressive.
Remembering that she came for a deal, he coldly eyed Cripple Liu’s henchmen: "Aren’t you going to take your boss away?"
The men who had been noisy earlier frantically hurried to carry both the man from the yard and the still-recovering Cripple Liu from the corner away.
Their speed was as if they were being chased by wolves in the courtyard.
After these people left, vigorously, they shut the door tightly and clasped it.
Turning swiftly, he walked towards Liu Quan, pointing at Gu Jiajie and Gu Jin: "Brother Quan, these are the ones I mentioned to you yesterday; they might have wild ginseng."
Liu Quan nodded, directing his gaze at Gu Jin, saying, "The young lady has good skills."
Gu Jin removed the cloth from her face, revealing her true visage.
Upon hearing Liu Quan speaking to her, she nodded politely, then took the bamboo basket off her back and courteously asked, "I have wild ginseng, I wonder what price you would offer?"
