Chapter 397: Chapter 397: His Unconventional Kiss, the Scene Was Too...

The man’s hand, calloused, touched her leg, eliciting a tingling sensation.

Song Yi trembled all over, watching him in shock.

Shen Su’s hand slid down to her ankle, without finding any injury.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the two of them.

"Click—" At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the entrance.

Gu Chu walked in, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Gu Nanjiu squinted, having waited for this woman for so long, she finally came.

He thought she wouldn’t come today, leaving him hanging.

Gu Nanjiu put down the wine glass in his hand, a slight smile lifting the corners of his lips, "Miss Gu, I really thought you wouldn’t come today."

Gu Chu casually found a spot to sit, crossing her legs nonchalantly and chuckled lightly, looking at the lively scene in the private room, "It seems you’re having a good time even without me."

"Have I interrupted your fun by coming over?"

Gu Nanjiu snorted coldly, his tone icy, "Since you came, let’s have a proper talk."

At this point, Song Yi moved off Shen Su’s lap and sat beside him.

She quietly watched their conversation.

Gu Chu lowered her eyes, took a bottle of wine, and poured herself a glass.

She got straight to the point, "Let’s discuss our cooperation. Our boss means to stop cooperating with you."

"But you said you have the capital to make a comeback, Ning City Pharmaceutical Group, right?"

Gu Chu said, "I looked into this group. It’s indeed a large business, with operations both domestically and abroad."

"But how can you be sure this company will work for you, and how can you confirm that the real power is in your hands, and not just fake information online?"

"There’s also something I need you to understand clearly, you might be under police surveillance now. Cooperating with you is risky, and we cannot take that risk."

"Once targeted by the police, we’ll have lots of troubles. You have to be able to bear the consequences of us being targeted, or else we won’t cooperate with you anymore."

"Moreover," Gu Chu said, "the rules of the underworld, I’m sure you’re well aware, those who’ve been to the police station, we always worry if they’d be turned."

"So..." Gu Chu lifted her eyes, a cold glare appearing, "Gu Nanjiu, start proving yourself."

She raised her wrist to look at the time, "I don’t have much time to waste with you dilly-dallying."

Gu Nanjiu squinted, exuding coldness.

"You really got some nerve." He sneered, "She’s the owner of the group."

He glanced at Chen Ruzhi.

At this moment, Chen Ruzhi was trembling, sensing the woman in front was clearly bad news.

Gu Chu looked at Chen Ruzhi, sneering, "So?"

Gu Nanjiu said, "So let her personally tell you, whether I’m really in charge of this group."

Chen Ruzhi said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

At that moment, she didn’t want to cause trouble, just wanted to quickly get rid of these two people.

Gu Chu lightly laughed, "How do I know if this woman isn’t saying this under your threat?"

Her organization ordered not to cooperate with him unless absolutely necessary, and if so, it must pass through strict scrutiny.

So, this was intentional troublemaking.

Gu Nanjiu was not unaware.

In this era of the survival of the fittest, it’s the same everywhere.

He held the cigarette in his mouth, his gaze sinister and stern, "So?"

He pointed at Chen Ruzhi, "If she dies, is that enough sincerity?"

Chen Ruzhi glared at Gu Nanjiu, shuddering, feeling as if the blood in her entire body had frozen.

"No, don’t..." Chen Ruzhi’s voice was nearly a loss as she cried out in terror.

Song Yi clenched her fist tightly, looking at the scene before her.

Yet she couldn’t think of any solution, just watching.

Gu Chu curled the corner of her lips, "Sure."

The matter of life and death, yet she smiled so indifferently.

As if it were a usual occurrence.

It turns out, Gu Chu wasn’t some psychologist, but such a cold-blooded woman.

Gu Nanjiu snorted, gesturing to Kash with his chin, his tone chilly, "Finish her."

Chen Ruzhi cried out, "No! No!"

Her eyes were bloodshot, a cold sweat soaked her head.

She began to struggle, trying to escape, but was pinned down.

Kash held Chen Ruzhi in a death grip, her desperation clear, "I beg you, don’t..."

At this moment, she felt like crying out to heaven and earth was in vain, truly at the brink of death.

The most terrifying part wasn’t death, but knowing you’re about to die, enduring the wait for death.

Too tormenting, too unbearable.

Kash held a gun, aiming at her head, ready to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, he looked up at Shen Su who was sitting there.

With a smile, he tossed the gun to him, "It’s your time to shine, prove your loyalty to Master Jiu."

"Finish off this Chen Ruzhi."

Shen Su effortlessly caught the gun thrown at him, the firearm spinning in his long fingers, a smile playing on his lips.

Song Yi stared at Shen Su.

He... is he really going to do it?

The man’s hand was calloused, touching her leg, causing a tingling sensation.

Song Yi shivered all over, looking at him in shock.

Shen Su’s hand slid all the way to her ankle, finding no injury.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two of them.

"Click—" At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone’s gaze shifted, looking towards the doorway.

Gu Chu walked in, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.

Gu Nanjiu squinted, having waited for this woman for so long; she finally came.

He thought she wouldn’t show up today, would stand him up.

Gu Nanjiu put down the wine glass in his hand, the corners of his lips slightly curling into a smile: "Miss Gu, I really thought you wouldn’t come today."

Gu Chu casually found a place to sit down, elegantly crossing her legs, chuckling, looking at the lively scene in the private room: "Even if I hadn’t come, you seem to be having a lot of fun."

"Coming here must have disturbed your enjoyment?"

Gu Nanjiu snorted, his tone icy: "Since you’ve come, let’s have a proper talk."

At this point, Song Yi dismounted from Shen Su, sitting beside him.

Quietly watching their conversation.

Gu Chu lowered her eyes, reached for the bottle, and poured herself a drink.

She got straight to the point: "Let’s talk about our cooperation. Our boss’s intention is not to continue working with you."

"But you said you have the means to rise again, Ning City Pharmaceutical Group, right?"

Gu Chu: "I investigated this group, the business indeed is quite big, both domestically and internationally."

"But how can you be sure this company will work for you, and how can you be sure the real power is in your hands, that the information online isn’t fake?"

"Also, I need you to understand very clearly, you may now be watched by the police, cooperating with you is risky for us, so we cannot bear this risk."

"If we’re marked by the police, we’ll have many troubles, you must be able to handle the consequences after we’re marked, otherwise we won’t cooperate with you."

"What’s more," Gu Chu: "The rules of the underground, I’m sure you’re aware, once someone has been in the police station, we can’t help but worry if they’ve been turned."

"So..." Gu Chu raised her eyes, coldness flashing: "Gu Nanjiu, start proving yourself."

She lifted her wrist, checking the time: "I don’t have much time, don’t drag this out."

Gu Nanjiu squinted, his gaze cold.

"You’re cheeky." He snorted: "This is the owner of the group."

He glanced at Chen Ruzhi.

Chen Ruzhi was trembling at this moment, feeling that the woman before her was no good.

Gu Chu looked at Chen Ruzhi, sneering: "So?"

Gu Nanjiu: "So let her tell you in person whether I control the group."

Chen Ruzhi: "Yes, yes, yes!"

At this point, she didn’t want to cause trouble, just wanted to quickly rid herself of these two.

Gu Chu chuckled: "How do I know if she’s saying this under your threat?"

Her organization’s orders were not to cooperate if possible, but cooperation was possible if it had to be, however, the review must pass.

So, she’s deliberately making it difficult.

Gu Nanjiu surely understood.

In this survival-of-the-fittest era, it’s the same anywhere.

He held a cigarette at the corner of his mouth, his gaze sinister and cold: "So?"

He pointed at Chen Ruzhi: "If she’s dead, does that show sincerity?"

Chen Ruzhi stared at Gu Nanjiu, her whole body shivering, feeling like all the blood in her body was freezing at this moment.

"No, don’t..." Chen Ruzhi cried out in horror, almost losing her voice.

Song Yi clenched her fists tightly, looking at the situation unfolding before her.

She couldn’t think of a single solution, just watching.

Gu Chu slightly raised a corner of her lip: "Alright."

Life-and-death matters, yet she laughed so indifferently.

As if it were commonplace.

It turned out, Gu Chu wasn’t a psychologist, but such a cold-blooded woman.

Gu Nanjiu laughed coldly, nodding towards Kash, his tone chilly: "Take care of her."

Chen Ruzhi: "Don’t! Don’t!"

Her eyes turned red, cold sweat covering her head.

She began to struggle, trying to escape, but was pinned down.

Kash clamped down on Chen Ruzhi tightly, and Chen Ruzhi despaired: "I beg you, don’t..."

At this moment, she felt calling out to the heavens or the earth was in vain; she truly was on the brink of death.

The most terrifying thing isn’t death, but knowing you’re about to die, this waiting-for-death process.

Too torturous, too hard to bear.

Kash held a gun, aiming it at her head, ready to pull the trigger.

Suddenly he looked up, gazing at Shen Su sitting over there.

Smiling, he tossed the gun to him: "It’s time for you to prove yourself to Jiuye, show your loyalty."

"Handle Chen Ruzhi yourself."

Shen Su easily caught the gun thrown to him, spinning it in his slender hand, a smile curling his lips.

Song Yi gazed blankly at Shen Su.

Is he... really going to act?
