The Buddhist bead bracelet was precisely aimed, and by that time Gu Qiaoqiao had already calmed down.
She had experienced this kind of situation more than once before.
So, naturally, the first one to calm down was Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly surveyed her surroundings.
Then she saw a figure near the corner of the Moon Gate, but she couldn’t make out who it was.
But Gu Qiaoqiao knew this must be the person orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.
Then she looked around and wondered why there was no movement nearby, considering how loud the gunshot had been.
Where were the other people of Gu Garden?
Where were the bodyguards of Gu Garden?
And the power was out as well...
Soon after, Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers stretched out towards the surroundings, only then realizing there seemed to be something imbued with Spiritual Energy tightly ensnaring the Gu Family.
It isolated the Gu Family from everywhere else.
That meant the gunshot earlier hadn’t alarmed anyone at all.
And by this time, it was already deep into the night. Even if there was gunfire, no one would hear it.
Who had such great prowess to use Spiritual Energy to tightly enclose the large courtyard of the Gu Family?
How much power would that require?
Since Gu Qiaoqiao had gained her extraordinary abilities, she no longer doubted the existence of mysterious forces in this world.
"Heaven is watching, three feet above your head; many things are real," she thought.
But now, the situation was critical, and it didn’t leave her room to ponder more.
No matter who the mastermind was, right now she had to protect the safety of her family members.
And at the moment, she was the only one with the capability to do so.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand rested on her wrist.
There was a Buddhist bead bracelet given to her by Qin Yize.
At this time, only the Buddha Beads could help her.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly slid off the beads.
Then, with a gentle pinch, she snapped the string they were strung on.
Afterward, eighteen Buddha Beads fell into her palm.
The movements of Gu Qiaoqiao were extremely fast.
She calculated in her heart that there were nine people in total. They were all holding hunting rifles.
She needed to take down these people in the quickest time possible.
At that moment, one of the men holding a rifle was still aiming at Gu Qingfeng.
But when Gu Qiaoqiao put down her weapon, the gun pointing at Gu Tianfeng was directed elsewhere, seemingly aiming at other people now.
But the man targeting Gu Qingfeng didn’t move.
He knew that this was the oldest one, definitely Gu Qingfeng, and he ordered harshly, "Open the basement, or I will kill you all."
Surely, he was after Ning Wanru in the basement.
The person in front of her must be Ning Wanru’s backer.
Such a formidable backer it was.
Indeed, without such a strong backer, how could Ning Wanru have orchestrated so many things?
On his own, it would be impossible.
Was this person in front of her the one?
Meanwhile, Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong were shielding their daughter.
Gu Qingfeng knew it wasn’t this person in front of them.
This person was only about forty years old.
So, it had to be someone behind the scenes.
However, the situation was dire, and even though countless thoughts spun through his head, it was just a moment’s hesitation.
Gu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Fine, I’ll take you there now."
At this moment, without the ability to face them head-on, compliance was the only option.
The man clearly was pleased and said to someone next to him, "Keep a close watch on them."
And just as the man spoke, Gu Qiaoqiao instantly hurled the Buddha Beads at these nine people.
As fast as lightning, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
The beads targeted the wrists of the nine individuals holding rifles.
