"A liar?" Gan Yuan laughed loudly, "Are you jealous of me? Because I not only slept with the Duke whom you’ll never get to sleep with but also played all of you in the palm of my hand."
"You..." the female reporter’s cheeks reddened with anger, "Shameless!"
"Shameless?!" Gan Yuan scoffed, "The victor is the king, the loser the outlaw. If it weren’t for your digging up my details, in a few days, I would have become the Princess Consort of this country."
"Cheap woman, get out of our country!"
An enraged citizen cursed, grabbing a bottle of mineral water and throwing it at her.
Gan Yuan raised her hand to block the mineral water bottle, her dark eyes coldly landing on that person as she lifted her left hand, already aiming a small handgun at the person’s face.
"Do you want to die?"
Her look was full of murderous intent, shocking the person into shrinking back in panic.
Upstairs in the study.
Leng Xiaoye snapped out of her contemplation upon noticing the commotion. She lifted her head toward the direction of the door, with her gaze landing on the figure standing before the crowd, her pupils suddenly contracting.
"Is that... Gan Yuan?!"
Huangfu Jue rushed to the window and after a glance outside, seeing that familiar figure, a bad premonition rose in his heart. He turned and sprinted out of the study.
Leng Xiaoye followed in pursuit.
Rushing down the stairs in a stumble, Huangfu Jue leaped off the steps, moving so fast that he nearly slipped and fell.
Standing straight, he dashed towards the gate, his voice calling out her name.
Upon hearing his voice, Gan Yuan instinctively turned her face.
From the side, a can of cola, carried by the wind, came flying. Gan Yuan, focused on Huangfu Jue, dodged a bit too late, and the cola can struck her head hard, immediately causing blood to flow.
"Bastard!" Huangfu Jue roared, rushing over to shield her with his body, "I dare anyone to harm her?!"
"Let go of me!" Gan Yuan came to her senses and pushed him away forcefully, "Why did you even come out, oh... I almost forgot..."
She lifted her hand, yanking off the ring from her finger, gritted her teeth, and flung it onto him.
"Take back this worthless ring, and let me tell you, out of all the men I’ve been with, you are the dullest one. If it weren’t for your pretty face and your Prince status, I wouldn’t even care about you if you kissed my feet..."
Huangfu Jue picked up the ring and stood up, "Enough!"
He didn’t need to think to understand her intention. Seeing the blood streaming down from her forehead, his heart had already begun to ache with spasms.
As he was about to speak, Gan Yuan abruptly raised her gun hand and pulled the trigger upwards at an angle.
A gunshot rang out, startling everyone into action as people screamed, clutching their heads and scattering. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Huangfu Jue took a step to chase after her, but a figure beside him lunged, seizing the collar of his coat.
With one hand on his collar, Leng Xiaoye forcefully elbowed down on his neck. Huangfu Jue’s vision went dark, his strength failing as he collapsed, and Leng Xiaoye sternly ordered the bodyguard behind him.
Gan Yuan had already done what she needed to do. If Huangfu Jue continued to persevere , all her efforts would be in vain.
"You go find Gan Yuan!" Seizing Will, Leng Xiaoye whispered a command beside his ear, then took a gun from a security guard’s hand and fired three shots into the sky, "Everyone, stay where you are!"
