Chapter 848: Chapter 326: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 1)

Since Ji Huan found out about Gao Jian bullying Ji Wanxia, he wouldn’t let him off easily.

Lin Chu looked at the man in front of her, her almond eyes moist, her voice choked with emotion, "But everyone in the Gao Family has a powerful background, what if..."

Lu Huai’an pinched the girl’s lips, his well-defined features tensed invisibly, his indifferent gaze swept over the crowd gathering in the corridor.

He said to Gu Shaozhi, "Watch her for me, I’ll go in and take a look."

Gu Shaozhi played with his lighter, maintaining a noble and elegant demeanor throughout, "Ten minutes."

In the few seconds when Lu Huai’an pushed open the restroom door and walked in, the people outside couldn’t see anything, but the sound of fists swinging and Gao Jian’s unbearable pain became even more distinct.

The air was tinged with the scent of blood.

Lin Chu lowered her head, twisting her fingers together, her remorse and worry made her ignore those around her.

Gu Shaozhi’s gaze swept past Lin Chu, then turned to the men and women blocked on the left side.

"Disperse."

Even though his entire demeanor didn’t exude intense coldness, his gentle features still carried an understated sense of oppression.

"Waiting for me to invite you to leave?"

It had been less than five minutes since Gao Jian was taken into the restroom, so it didn’t alarm too many people.

Rather than being a busybody, self-preservation was more important.

Whether it was the well-connected children of officials or these three men who held up half the business world of An City, everyone knew not to offend them, and discreetly left.

In the corridor, only Gu Shaozhi and Lin Chu remained, along with four staff members from Jin Jue.

Another painful groan came out, causing Jin Jue’s manager’s shoulders to tremble. He cautiously approached Gu Shaozhi and said, "Mr. Gu, please, if anything happens, we can’t bear the responsibility."

Gu Shaozhi had only returned to An City to take over the Gu Family business for less than two years.

He acted extremely low-key, rarely putting people who had to judge situations in a difficult position.

He spoke lightly, "Someone will call your boss, first keep the mouths of those few people shut, guard outside the corridor, and don’t let anyone else in."

The manager thought it over and nodded respectfully, "Yes."

————

In the restroom.

Gao Jian was curled up on the floor, clutching his vital parts and howling in pain, his forehead beaded with sweat mixed with blood stains, his white shirt also stained with blood, his features pale and disheveled, looking both wretched and ferocious.

Lu Huai’an’s indifferent gaze brushed past Gao Jian, stopping Ji Huan’s fist from landing once more.

"It’s about enough, if we continue, it will be very troublesome."

Judging by the current situation, Gao Jian was essentially ruined.

The Gao Family had only this one son, so it seemed unlikely they would want to let this go quietly.

Ji Huan apparently had no intention of leaving himself a way out, his black leather shoe stepping on Gao Jian’s crotch.

Listening to Gao Jian’s painful groans, the darkness in his black eyes seemed to swallow the entire city, yet there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his handsome face.

His neatly arranged shirt was unstained by blood, and as he bent down, his well-defined fingers pinched Gao Jian’s collar, "If you still have the life to get out of bed and walk, remember to come find me for revenge."

It wasn’t until Lu Huai’an spoke for the second time that Ji Huan lifted his foot off Gao Jian and placed it back on the ground.

He walked over to the sink, washing the blood from his fingers.

Drying the water, tidying the sleeves rolled up to his elbows...

The casual manner seemed to suggest that it wasn’t him who had been the perpetrator of bloodshed and violence in those ten minutes.

————

The restroom door opened once again, and the person who came out was Lu Huai’an.

Gu Shaozhi seemed never to care what had happened, finishing smoking a cigarette just in time, "There are still friends upstairs, I’ll head up first."

Lu Huai’an nodded, "Okay."

After Gu Shaozhi’s footsteps faded away, Lin Chu finally lifted her head, looking towards the tightly closed door, "Why is it so silent, could it be..."

Lu Huai’an reached out and clasped the hand the girl had twisted together, ice cold.

Ji Huan’s assistant was called over, Lu Huai’an handed the suit jacket hanging over Lin Chu’s arm to the assistant, guiding her out of the corridor.

"What’s done is done, it’s something neither of us could stop."

Hearing this, Lin Chu actually understood.

Her body stiffened like a plank of wood, reluctantly moving forward.

Lu Huai’an didn’t head back upstairs but had the bar’s waiter bring down their belongings from the private room, and even in the car, Lin Chu seemed out of sorts.
