Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Calamity Bringer
These people, in order to save their own lives, are trying every means possible, betraying the location of the Gu Family members is their first choice.
And sure enough, even the location of their compartment is exposed among them.
"Men in black, stop chasing me, that’s the Gu Family’s third son’s ox cart, grievances have heads, debts have owners, don’t get the wrong person."
Bai Suihe rolled her eyes, there really are spineless people everywhere.
But one can’t say the other party is wrong, why should others take a knife for the Gu Family?
"Don’t worry," Gu Kaiyuan, afraid Bai Suihe might be nervous, hurriedly reassured, "Lin Hua and the others are protecting outside, plus there are two escort agency guards, it won’t be easy for them to come over to us."
Bai Suihe, "I’m not worried, nor nervous, just curious how the Gu Family is doing?"
Even at this moment, Bai Suihe’s curiosity is strong, Gu Kaiyuan really felt speechless, "You’re concerned about them?"
Bai Suihe, "Yes, of course we should be concerned about them, we still rely on them to lead a free life.
Can you be sure they will be safe this time?"
Gu Kaiyuan couldn’t guarantee that, because there was no son as foolish as him to rush forward and take the knife for them.
Outside the compartment, Yun Ni was leading people to guard around, the two escort agency guards were on high alert, they thought with such a big formation, there shouldn’t be anyone reckless enough to rush over here, but who knew those passerby calls really led the men in black here.
Since they came, there was nothing more to say, the two sides directly started fighting.
The sounds of fighting outside reached Bai Suihe and the others, and they lifted the curtain to look, the men in black had only one goal, to rush toward their compartment.
Bai Suihe frowned, "Are we being used as scapegoats by others?"
Gu Kaiyuan understood immediately, he quickly supported Bai Suihe, "It seems we can’t keep hiding here."
Bai Suihe stood up with his strength, Gu Kaiyuan already started calling outside to Lin Hua, "Lin Hua, open the curtain, we are going out."
People were guarding in all directions, Lin Hua and Lin Wei were guarding in front of the compartment.
Lin Hua lifted a corner of the curtain, "Young master, we are here outside."
Gu Kaiyuan, "Continuing to stay inside will only attract more men in black, we have to go out and let them know we are not their target."
"These people are really despicable," Lin Hua also understood, hurriedly lifted the curtain and placed the steps for getting off the cart, Dongmei and Chunxiang sitting aside quickly came over to assist.
Gu Kaiyuan waved them away, not letting them near, turned to open the curtain, revealing everything inside the compartment.
"Folks, we should have neither deep grievances nor recent enmity, why are you coming after us?"
Seeing a young man and a beautiful young woman, the men in black hesitated for a moment, then turned to Bai Suihe’s prominent belly, realizing they were not their target.
Seeing the couple come out, Yun Ni already greeted his brothers to firmly protect Gu Kaiyuan and them.
"Is this the Gu Family’s compartment?"
"It’s true I’m surnamed Gu, I wonder who you are looking for?"
"They told me, this is Mr. Gu’s compartment, please let Mr. Gu come out, we are looking for him."
Bai Suihe’s guess came true, just didn’t know who was causing trouble among them.
"There is no Mr. Gu here," Bai Suihe pulled Gu Kaiyuan aside, letting them see inside the compartment clearly, "You’ve found the wrong people."
The men in black realized they had been fooled, gave a deep look at Bai Suihe and her husband who were protected among them, "Retreat!"
Unaware what he signaled, the men in black who had been fighting fiercely suddenly started retreating, leaving without a trace.
"A good trick of misdirecting the trouble," Gu Kaiyuan was really amused and disdainful, if this wasn’t a Gu Family maneuver, he wouldn’t believe it.
Bai Suihe, "Seems we are too easygoing usually, they think they can do whatever they want."
Originally wanting to quietly endure until the decree of pardon, but some people can’t sit still.
Liu Pingkang’s arm was injured this time, seeing the people retreat, he immediately came over, "Who have you offended now?"
Listening to his accusatory tone, Gu Kaiyuan could only smile bitterly and say, "I don’t know either, but when they saw only us in the compartment, they realized the mistake and left."
"..." Originally full of anger, Liu Pingkang felt both angry and sympathetic, "You guys really have it tough."
These men in black came aggressively, they didn’t care about others’ lives, don’t know how many were injured or killed, he still had to clean up the aftermath.
The higher-ups didn’t care about this, he could only find a way to report to the local government, it was hard enough to speed up the journey, now it had to be delayed again.
He sent subordinates to quickly report by fast horse, the others hurriedly counted the people.
Smelling the bloody scent in the air, Bai Suihe felt uncomfortable, covering her nose, "These people come aiming for lives, don’t they want silver?"
Gu Kaiyuan, "These must be Gu Baijiang’s real enemies."
Bai Suihe, "...As a civil official, what heaven-offending things did he do?"
Gu Kaiyuan glanced at her, "Intercepting military pay, don’t know how many families were harmed, and how many military generals were exiled or died because of it, just for this, his enemies are many."
Bai Suihe, "..."
Gu Kaiyuan put everyone back in the compartment, saying he had things to deal with, then left in a haste.
Bai Suihe knew this narrow-minded man must have gone for revenge, wanting to take their lives as a scapegoat, then all sorts of preparations must be made.
As Gu Kaiyuan walked all the way, he found many people crying in pain there, just because of this massacre, their family members lost their lives.
The closer he got to the Gu Family, the fewer casualties there were, Chen Dafu’s big family here, only a son and grandson were lightly injured.
"Gu Kaiyuan, are you here to see your father?" Chen Dafu saw Gu Kaiyuan, couldn’t care about his injured grandson, quickly walked to the front.
"Mr. Chen," since they met, Gu Kaiyuan smoothly asked, "Did your family get injured?"
"Oh, those damn men in black, they started slashing as soon as they came, our boys, two got injured.
Don’t know if you have any wound medicine?"
Gu Kaiyuan understood Chen Dafu’s character, he came to him to take advantage, "This shouldn’t be, Mr. Chen, I remember you bought a lot of medicine at the post station, and quite a bit of wound medicine."
When Chen Dafu bought medicine, he didn’t remember Gu Kaiyuan nearby, moreover, he didn’t stay at the post station but lodged at the inn.
"You sly boy, our family can’t store much medicine.
Don’t worry, I won’t take it for free, I have major news to exchange."
Gu Kaiyuan, "I’m not curious, so don’t trouble yourself, Mr. Chen."
"It’s about your father, are you sure you don’t want to hear?" Chen Dafu was not one to easily give up.
