Chapter 357: The Gunner
Translator: Lonelytree
Lu Yan was still looking at Second Master Gu. Her eyes were filled with grief and vulnerability. She ignored Gu Yan’s questioning.
Seeing this, Gu Yan stepped forward and gave Lu Yan a push. Lu Yan was caught off guard and fell backward. Behind her was Mai Qi, who had one of her arms bandaged.
I quickly reached out to pull her back. Thankfully, I saved them from falling.
Mai Qi couldn’t help but say, “Miss Gu, why the temper? You resort to violence before people even say anything. What are you trying to prove?”
Gu Yan sneered. “Mai Qi, your taste in friends is getting worse! Hmph! This Lu Yan sure is something else. She hired someone to shoot my second uncle and then sacrificed herself to block the bullet. What a show. My second uncle almost fell for it. He wanted to treat Lu Yan as his benefactor. If this guy didn’t come out to confess to get more money, we would still be in the dark! God is watching because he has revealed this bitch’s true form!”
We looked at the kneeling man in shock. Then we saw Lu Yan’s pale face. We grasped the situation.
Lu Yan had made a dangerous move.
Mai Qi pulled on my sleeve silently and shot a gaze at the man on the ground. My heart quivered. The man was one of Lu Yan’s four younger brothers.
It looks like Lu Yan’s plan to enter the Gu Family was about to fail. I wondered if she could withstand the backlash. Lu Yan’s tears started to fall.
Gu Nian cleared his throat. “Lu Yan, don’t you have anything to explain?”
Lu Yan was sobbing so hard that she couldn’t speak. When she heard Gu Nian, she managed to stop herself from crying. She asked with tears in her eyes, “Master Liu, you know me best. I came from an orphanage. I don’t have any family background. Do you think I can hire an assassin?”
Oh? The three of us shared a look. This was something planned!
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment.
Gu Yan laughed heartlessly, “That’s enough. Stop acting! This man comes from your orphanage. You grew up together. You wouldn’t need to use any money to hire him.”
Everyone looked at Lu Yan and the man on the ground.
Ye Qian suddenly said, “Master Gu Yan, this matter might not be that complicated. I don’t think Lu Yan is a scheming person. Master Liu has been with her for a long time, so he should know her better. After thinking about it, I feel that Lu Yan doesn’t need to do this. Plus, this is too dangerous. If she is not careful, she might even lose her life.”
Master Gu Er nodded. Ye Qian still had a hold over Master Gu Er. Ye Qian smiled and glanced at Lu Yan from the corner of her eyes.
By then, Lu Yan had stopped crying, “Miss Gu is right. This man is one of my younger brothers in the orphanage. We are everything each other has. I don’t understand why Miss Gu has captured him. Is it to force me to admit to things I didn’t do?”
Gu Yan was so angry that she stepped forward and kicked Lu Yan’s younger brother. “He has already confessed. So you can stop acting!”
Lu Yan asked the man softly, “Si Nan, what did you confess?”
Si Nan looked up and said timidly, “Sister Yan, it hurts…”
Lu Yan walked forward and helped him up. She said gently, “Where does it hurt? Did You fall?”
Si Nan frowned and sobbed. He looked at Gu Yan in fear. “Hit me, I admit, shoot shoot. Give me candy. Eat candy!” Then he hid behind Lu Yan.
Lu Yan looked at Master Gu Er and Gu Nian. She said apologetically, “When Si Nan was six, he had a fever. The orphanage didn’t have any adults at the time, so we children watched over him until dawn.. Thankfully, his fever subsided, but the fever caused his intelligence to pause at age six.”
