He Yidu and Qin Fang narrowed their eyes.
They had thought that it was strange that their check-in had gone so smoothly. They had thought that it was because Jijing Island was afraid of stopping them.
They did not expect them to be waiting here.
“Young Master Lu, all of you may leave, but not Young Lady,” Elder Gu said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou said nothing.
“Sure,” Gu Mang said with one hand in her pocket. She stepped out from behind Lu Chengzhou and tilted her head. She smiled sinisterly. “Then let’s see which one happens first. My departure or your deaths?”
Elder Gu shook his head. “With the number of people you have?”
Just then, another group of people came from another direction. They were all dressed in camouflage uniforms. Huo Zhi was leading them.
“Tsk.” Qin Fang frowned. “Why didn’t all of you come together instead of in waves? When are the people from the Elders’ Association arriving?”
It was as if he was trying to imply that they were going to wait for the opposition to assemble before fighting them all at once.
He sounded really arrogant.
They were the only group of people who could still sound so wild when they were about to be encircled.
Huo Zhi did not look at anyone else. His gaze was on Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang. When he saw that the two were holding hands, he felt as if a needle had poked his eyes.
He looked at Gu Mang and said, “Stay and I’ll guarantee that all of them return to the capital safely. Leng Xuan will arrive very soon. She will be allowed to go to the Lu residence and see Matriarch Lu unconditionally.”
Gu Mang had one hand in her pocket and one of her legs was slightly bent. She looked like a sloppy rebel. “And what if I refuse?”
Huo Zhi narrowed his eyes for a few seconds before nodding expressionlessly. “Then no one’s leaving.”
Behind him, the bald man lifted his hand and waved his finger. The men all pointed their guns at Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang, and the others.
Elder Gu tried to persuade Gu Mang. “Young Lady, don’t make things difficult for us. Come back with us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard rushing over. Elder Bai was rushing over with the men from the Bai family’s guards.
“Young Lady.” Elder Bai walked up to Gu Mang and bowed at her respectfully.
Gu Mang’s exquisite eyes looked cold and she looked frustrated. She acknowledged him with a hum while trying to suppress her hostility.
The entire airport was full of people from the various major forces on Jijing Island. The vast airport seemed crowded now. There had never been such a huge commotion involving so many big families.
Elder Gu looked at the people from the Bai family and frowned. Then, he said coldly, “Young Lady, are you driving the Gu family against the Bai family?”
What is the use of the Bai family’s arrival when they have so few people?
We will surely not let Gu Mang leave Jijing Island.
Outside of Jijing Island, the people from Red Flame and Red Scorpion were hard to deal with.
Seeing that Gu Mang was not making a decision, Huo Zhi’s eyes felt heavy. “Leng Xuan has better medical skills than you. Perhaps there is still some hope for Matriarch Lu. Gu Mang, think carefully.”
Elder Bai was in a difficult position. He could not decide if he should help Gu Mang depart from Jijing Island or make her stay for the ‘greater good.’
After hesitating for a while, Elder Bai said after much thought, “Young Lady, how about… we let Elder Leng and Young Master Lu return to the capital? Although she has offended you, no one is better than her in terms of medical skills.”
Matriarch Lu’s condition came first.
When Elder Gu saw that Elder Bai was helping them, he laughed confidently and did not speak again.
Huo Zhi took a few steps towards Gu Mang. “Let’s go, come back with me.” With that, he turned to Lu Chengzhou. “I’ll send some people to Mingyu Island tomorrow. Young Master Lu, remember to hand Gu Si over.”
This was the first time that the two men had faced each other like this.
Lu Chengzhou was slightly taller than Huo Zhi. His eyes were deep and sharp. He said slowly, “Do you really think that I came to this wretched place without any preparation at all?”
Huo Zhi paused.
Suddenly the sound of a helicopter could be heard all over the airport, its propellers causing huge gusts of wind to kick up. The wind blew in everyone’s face.
The helicopter landed and a firm man opened the side door and got out from inside.
Behind him was a group of mercenaries who looked like rascals. They carried guns and looked very sloppy. Yet, the bloodthirsty aura they gave off was so intimidating that no one dared to underestimate them.
Elder Gu looked at the man in front and his eyes darkened. He frowned. “How could it be him?!”
As the man walked over, countless mercenaries carrying weapons and equipment poured into the airport.
For a moment, the sound of messy and heavy footsteps could be heard everywhere over the whirring of the helicopter blades, resounding across the night sky.
Huo Zhi stared at the man. “Is Killer Alliance going to interfere with the internal affairs of Jijing Island as well?”
