The passing guests were all chatting.
Shi Xiaonian was wearing her frock coat as she covered her mouth tightly, staring at Guan Delin's body on the ground in disbelief. The person who was still fine a while ago was just lying there like that right now.
On the ground beside Guan Delin's body, was a long list of Mo Nuo's English names.
This name filled the entire matter with a sense of strangeness.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou. Having been in the Lancaster family for so long, it was the first time she saw Gong Ou's eyes reveal such a gaze.
The night wind was especially cold, cold to the point that Shi Xiaonian felt that it pierced her heart. Especially when all the guests looked towards her at the same time, those gazes were as if they were looking at a murderer, and also at a dead person.
"What are you guys looking at?"
Gong Ou suddenly raised his head, and his pair of black eyes fiercely glared at them.
Everyone calmed their eyes, but there were some who went closer to Gong Ou and whispered with good intentions, "Mr. Gong, I feel that this matter is not normal. Mo Nuo's name is written all over the ground, it might not be a good thing, let your wife go back first."
"Do you f * cking think that I, Gong Ou, am lacking in confidence?"Gong Ou glared at him gloomily, then suddenly extended his hand to grab the man's collar, clenching his teeth tightly, frightening the man so much that his expression changed, ", I did my best."
Shi Xiaonian wanted to pull Gong Ou, but she did not.
Gong Ou turned around and his gloomy eyes swept across everyone present. When he saw two people with reporter's badges, he coldly said, "Both of you listen to me, including the so-called ghost, Lancaster Mo Nuo. I was the one who didn't want you back then, so I looked down on you.
Right now, with just a slight movement, everyone was looking at Shi Xiaonian and had already placed her at the center of attention.
With that, Gong Ou pushed the person beside him away, then turned and grabbed Shi Xiaonian's hand and left this place.
The group stood on the spot, surrounding a cold corpse, all of them staring at Gong Ou with their mouths agape. The two journalists did not dare to take any pictures, but quickly took out their phones to record the news and send it back to him.
The road was long and winding, as if there was no end to it.The black and white ribbons on both sides of the trees were fluttering in the night wind. The atmosphere surrounding the anniversary was not only sad, but also magical.
Shi Xiaonian crossed his arms and walked forward. All she could see was Guan Delin lying there and she couldn't help but grab onto his arms.
In the next second, Gong Ou's hand rested on her shoulder, and he pulled her into his embrace.
Shi Xiaonian raised her head and looked at him, revealing a smile, indicating that she was fine, "Secretary Guan, if you find out anything, you would die before you can tell us, is the other party trying to scare us, indicating that everything we do is in his eyes?"
This man was referring to none other than George.
But she just couldn't understand how George dared to be so audacious. Was he trying to deal with their Gong Jia at this point in time because he wanted both of them to suffer?
"The old man is indeed showing off to us." Gong Ou's voice sounded out in the night wind, sounding exceptionally gloomy. "He has noticed Guan Delin's movements."
"I wonder if brother is alright." Shi Xiaonian was a little worried.
Gong Ou looked at her, and she could clearly see the annoyance in his eyes. Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but stop her steps and comfort her, "Big bro knows how to react, he was always pushing Secretary Guan to go ahead, but she never thought Secretary Guan would …"
Speaking of which, it was them who had let Guan Delin down.
"We don't have time to be sympathetic." Gong Ou said.They didn't have enough time to investigate the cause of the rumors.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him silently.
Gong Ou and Gong Yu were both thinking of a counterattack from the trap, but they didn't know what George was planning to do at the moment. Why did he want to do all of these things that seemed to be aimed at her but couldn't hurt her?Was it just because he was unhappy with her and venting his anger for his daughter? However, this was not the style of a person like George.
Gong Ou followed Shi Xiaonian and stopped in his tracks, lowering his eyes to look at her, slowly opening his lips, "Shi Xiaonian, I have something to tell you, don't panic.""What?"
Shi Xiaonian was at a loss.
"Li Qingyan was sent by me to investigate the rumors, and it was also her who contacted Guan Delin. Now that Guan Delin is dead, she …" Gong Ou did not finish her words.
Shi Xiaonian's face instantly turned even paler as she stared at him in a daze.Very quickly, she turned and ran forward, ignoring everything else. As she ran, she took out her phone and called Li Qingyan.
She didn't want to see anyone else die because of her. She didn't want to, she didn't want to.Li Qingyan's phone was turned off.
Shi Xiaonian was unable to even walk on the road until Feng De called him. When she and Gong Ou returned to the east side, they saw Li Qingyan lying on the sofa, blood dripping from his wounds, dying under the treatment of Feng De and the doctor.
"Qingyan!" Shi Xiaonian excitedly pounced towards her, "Don't be afraid, Doctors will definitely save you. Your husband is still waiting for you to return.
Gong Ou stood behind Shi Xiaonian, watching this scene unmoving, his black eyes sunk into deep thought."Young Madam."
Seeing her, Li Qingyan tried with all his might to sit up, but he was unable to sit up. His bloodied hand struggled to reach out to her, and grabbed her hand, then said with difficulty, "When I met Guan Delin, there were people wearing masks and rushed over. They killed her in front of me, tried to kill me, and even tried to kill me."Alright, alright, I understand." Shi Xiaonian reached out and wiped off the sweat on her forehead, "I won't say anymore, save some energy."
"No …" Li Qingyan's face was pale white as shsheclosed her eyes, she did not have the strength to hold her hand and gasped for breath for a long time, "Before Guan Delin died, he had been talking about the annual tribute … Anniversary Sacrifice... I think she must have known something, but she didn't have a chance to say it. "Li Qingyan knew what Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian needed the most right now.
"Alright, I understand. Rest in peace." Shi Xiaonian turned to look at Feng De, and asked worriedly, "How is father?"
"It seems like he was slashed by a lot of blades while he was running away, but fortunately, they were not fatal wounds. He was able to save his life in time." Feng De said as he helped stop the bleeding.
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian who was squatting at the side of the sofa heaved a sigh of relief, and almost fell down to the ground.
It was good that he was able to keep his life. It was good that he was able to keep his life.
The Doctors was busy treating Li Qingyan and the blood from her body flowed down from the sofa all the way to the ground. It was a shocking sight and Shi Xiaonian squatted there for a good while before she suddenly realized it had been a long time since she heard Gong Ou's voice and turned her head to look for him.
Gong Ou was sitting on the first step of the stairs. His long legs were spread apart and his profile was illuminated by the light. Her deep outline depicted his appearance handsome, yet he did not have a single emotion on his face.Shi Xiaonian stood up from the ground and walked towards him. Standing in front of him, Gong Ou slightly lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow, making people not be able to see what was in his eyes.
However, this posture made her think of two words: defeat.
"Gong Ou...""Let's go back."
The two of them spoke up at almost the same time. Gong Ou raised his head and looked at her, his black eyes staring deeply at her.
This time, Shi Xiaonian saw fear written on the depths of his eyes. Gong Ou, who was usually fearless, started to be afraid and think of ways to escape.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes were still red because of Li Qingyan. Hearing this, she wanted to squeeze out a comforting smile but couldn't do anything, so she could only nod her head obediently. "Alright, I'll do whatever you want."
"I don't have that much time to investigate, much less fight back!" Gong Ou gritted his teeth as he stared at her face, "If George was really that crazy, why would I play with him?"
So he started to kill people, right under the nose of the media, and played so crazily! Who knew what George could do!
He couldn't gamble on her life.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "Mn, today is too late. Tomorrow, I will think of a way to contact Big Brother, and then, we will leave together."
"Alright!"
Gong Ou nodded strongly, and a moment later, he nodded his head again, but he didn't realise that he was in chaos.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him, then turned to look at Li Qingyan who was in the midst of the emergency treatment. It was a mess over there, and Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed, he was afraid that the person lying there would become her.
He was not a timid, defeated man. For her sake, he would choose to surrender.
She didn't need to stay here. She was worried that there would be more people who would sink into the abyss because of this.
Shi Xiaonian sat down beside Gong Ou, and seeing that she had been staring at Li Qingyan, he lightly leaned over, resting her head on's shoulder, "Gong Ou, don't think too much, when we go back, nothing will happen."
Gong Ou sat there, allowing her to lean against him without moving an inch.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
That night, everyone in the east district had difficulty falling asleep.
Early in the morning, Shi Xiaonian and Luo Qi began to count their luggage. Gong Kui accompanied Li Qingyan who had rescued them and chatted as she poured a cup of milk for Gong Kui to drink. Gong Yao even tiptoed to wash the bottles to take care of her brother.
"That should be it."
Luo Qi said as she counted her luggage, and knocked on her shoulder tiredly.
Shi Xiaonian helped her sit down at the dining table, and said, "Tomorrow is the official annual tribute. Today, Lancaster family will organize a small funeral for Guan Delin, I want to meet Big Bro there, I'll go look for him."
"Alright." Luo Qi nodded, "Be careful.""It's very safe in broad daylight. George wouldn't dare make a move against me in front of so many people, right? Don't worry." Shi Xiaonian said, as she heard the sound of her leather shoes stepping on the wooden board, steady and heavy.
Step by step.
The sound was very uncomfortable.
Shi Xiaonian looked up and saw Gong Ou walking down from the stairs. He was wearing a black overcoat and its chilling color made his entire face seem like he couldn't even describe it.
