Chapter 238: Eyes Brimming with Emotion
Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai, recognizing the masked man before her, excitedly called out, “Second Brother!”
Meng Chuan’s eyes crinkled with affection as he looked at Gu Dai, speaking softly, “Daidai.”
Meng Chuan and Gu Dai exchanged a glance, sharing an unspoken understanding that there were many things to say. However, they both knew that more pressing matters demanded their attention.
Yellow Hair, clutching his wounded arm and bleeding profusely, glared fiercely at Gu Dai and Meng Chuan.
He had underestimated Gu Dai, thinking her merely a delicate heiress, only to find himself entirely outmatched.
Now, with another formidable man present, he felt even more outmatched.
Meng Chuan’s gaze was icy as he immobilized Yellow Hair, treating him as if he were already a corpse, preventing any further sneak attacks.
Gu Dai asked coldly, “Who sent you?”
Yellow Hair’s pride was deeply wounded, and he struggled to maintain his defiance. “I was paid. I have professional ethics. 1 won’t reveal my employer’s name!”
Gu Dai responded nonchalantly with a nod, “That’s fine.”
Yellow Hair, thinking he was off the hook, relaxed slightly, but the next words from Gu Dai sent chills down his spine.
“If you won’t talk, then you won’t need to speak ever again.”
Yellow Hair watched as Gu Dai, holding a knife and advancing towards him step by step, seemed like a demon emerging from hell. His body shivered involuntarily, and a cold sensation swept over him.
Gu Dai pressed the knife against Yellow Hair’s face and inquired, “Where would you like me to start dissecting you?”
Feeling the cold blade on his face, Yellow Hair tensed up, not daring to move an inch. His voice trembled as he uttered, “Di…Dissect?”
Gu Dai nodded, smiling, “Of course, what else did you think?”
Yellow Hair, who had initially thought Gu Dai might at most cut off his tongue, now realized she intended to kill him!
Petrified, Yellow Hair hadn’t expected such a beautiful woman to have such a ruthless heart. As the knife began to pierce his skin and blood trickled into his mouth, he screamed in terror, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Please don’t kill me!”
Gu Dai’s smile widened as she asked, “But didn’t you just say you’d never tell?”
Crying, Yellow Hair replied, “1 didn’t know you were this ruthless, thinking of killing me! I’m only twenty this year, there are so many sights I haven’t seen, I don’t want to die…”
Gu Dai withdrew the knife and took out a pristine handkerchief to wipe it, speaking indifferently, “I’ll give you another chance. Who sent you?”
After facing death, Yellow Hair dared not entertain any further thoughts and hastily said, “It was Zhou Gang. He paid me to bring my guys and teach you a lesson!”
Yellow Hair was filled with rage.
He suddenly remembered how Zhou Gang had described Gu Dai as a fragile, easy-to-deal-with lady. How wrong he was!
Yellow Hair wished he could take his revenge on Zhou Gang.
Meng Chuan’s face darkened as he slapped Yellow Hair on the back, coldly stating, “Wait for your turn in the police station.”
Meng Chuan looked up at Gu Dai, his voice gentle, “Is Zhou Gang the director who slandered you and caused that trending scandal?”
Gu Dai affirmed, then curiously asked, “Second Brother, how do you know about this? Did Third Brother tell you?”
Meng Chuan nodded, “When Meng Zhi told me and Big Brother about your situation, we were furious. If he hadn’t said you’d already handled it, we would have flown back to the country immediately!”
A warmth rose in Gu Dai’s heart, her eyes brimming with emotion.
Seeing this, Meng Chuan panicked, “Daidai, don’t cry, 1…”
Gu Dai, looking at Meng Chuan’s flustered demeanor, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Don’t worry, Second Brother, I’m not crying, just moved.”
Meng Chuan frowned slightly, speaking earnestly, “Why should Daidai feel moved? This is what we as your brothers should do. You just need to accept it.”
He paused, then covered his chest with both hands, feigning heartbreak, “1 get it now, it’s because Daidai doesn’t like me anymore, we’ve become distant…” True to his title of a film star, Meng Chuan’s words and actions prompted Gu Dai to quickly wave her hands and say, “No, no, I haven’t become distant with Second Brother!”
