Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 941 Gu Nan wants to know the person behind the scenes

Nearby, Cunning Rabbit stood in the shadows of a corner, arms folded, his eyes barely darting to lift, only casually glancing at the action from the corner of his eye. His expression of indifference, as if the tense situation before him had nothing to do with him, like he was watching a farce that had nothing to do with him. In his opinion, Zhang Du's skills were renowned in the underworld, and his swift and impenetrable swordplay was more than enough to deal with a seemingly ordinary man like Gu Nan.

There was no need for him to intervene in this small situation. He just needed to stand there with his arms folded, waiting quietly to watch the show - to see how Zhang Du could take care of this ignorant guy in just a few moves, and to let this kid understand that some circles are not open to anyone, and if he doesn't have real skills, he has to admit defeat.

Gu Nan was forced back repeatedly by Zhang Du's blade, his back nearly pressed against the wall, yet his mind remained unperturbed. He glanced around quickly, counting and counting, but he couldn't see the tall, thin man with the copper bell on his waist that Gu Bei had mentioned. A sinister thought suddenly struck him: These people might have split into two groups. Only one group remained here to fight him. The other group... might have already set their sights on the courtyard, Qiu Ye, and the child!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened, as if being grasped by an invisible hand. Although he was in a stalemate here, Qiuye and the child at home were the most important, and there must be no mistakes. He took the opportunity to step back, tilting his shoulders slightly, and quietly winked at Gu Bei who was not far away. Without moving his lips, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You don't need to guard here. Go back quickly and take care of the house. Don't leave even a step."

Gu Bei's fists were already clenched, his knuckles white, and his feet felt like springs, ready to rush forward at any moment to relieve Gu Nan's burden. He knew Gu Nan had been injured, and now seeing the enemy outnumbered and Zhang Du's knife swift and fierce, he could no longer contain his momentum. But hearing Gu Nan's words, and seeing the unquestionable determination in his eyes, he could only forcefully suppress the urge to rush forward. He gritted his teeth, silently took two steps back, and quietly disappeared into the shadows of another corner - he had to obey his master's orders, guarding the backyard and protecting his family was the most important priority at the moment.

Gu Nan leaned against the wall and took a few breaths, using these brief respites to quietly adjust his breathing. In reality, after the system's strengthening, his previous injuries had already healed to a great extent, and his internal strength had largely recovered. He even felt more robust than usual, and his muscles were brimming with energy, ready to unleash. But he deliberately wore a look of fatigue, his brow furrowed, and his steps staggered slightly, as if he hadn't recovered from his previous injuries. He had to let his opponent down, and ideally, take advantage of this illusion of "weakness" to reveal more flaws, so that he could find an opportunity to counterattack.

The wind in the field seemed to pick up even more, picking up the scattered leaves and dust on the ground, swirling them past Gu Nan's shoes and sweeping them away. He clenched his hands at his sides, his knuckles turning white from the force, but his eyes gradually darkened. Don't worry, the show has just begun.

Gu Nan's gaze fell heavily on Zhang Du. His tone was calm, yet chilling, like ice, it carried a chilling chill through the bones. "I've always been reluctant to fight with women. But you, the rest of you, truly deserve to die."

His initial hesitation had long since faded. Initially, he'd wanted to leave some wiggle room, not to kill them all. But when he thought about how these people had set their sights on Ran Qiuye and the child, that sliver of sympathy vanished. His soft spot had been touched, his bottom line had been crossed. Since they dared to think this, no one could escape alive.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Du suddenly chuckled. His laughter was sharp, and his eyes were full of undisguised contempt. "You are just an ordinary person, right? I think you haven't even killed a chicken before? And you dare to talk about killing people? I have found out clearly that when you attacked people before, the most you could do was knock them unconscious, and you didn't dare to even see a drop of blood. With your courage and ability, you still want to kill me? What a wishful thinking, what a joke!"

Gu Nan ignored her taunts. His gaze shot past her like two cold arrows, landing on the cunning rabbit behind him. His voice was as cold as ice in the coldest days of winter: "Remember, if you dare to touch my wife and children today, from this moment on, I will no longer care about right or wrong. Now, you all must die."

Cunning Rabbit's face darkened at his words, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he raised his chin to Zhang Du: "Zhang Du, stop talking nonsense with him. There's no need to let him live. Just do it."

Zhang Du's smile deepened, a sinister look in her eyes and eyebrows. She glanced at her subordinates around her, her tone lazy but with unquestionable pressure: "You still don't know my ability? But let me be frank. Without my order, if anyone dares to interfere without authorization, trying to steal the credit or plead for him, don't blame me for being cruel. Let him know what it means to live a life worse than death."

All his men were silent, not even daring to breathe. They knew Zhang Du's methods too well. This woman looked charming and attractive, but her actions were more ruthless than anyone else. A while ago, a brother disobeyed orders and ended up with his hands and feet broken. Who would dare to joke with his own life? So even though they could see that Gu Nan's aura was unusual at the moment, and the fierceness around him was so oppressive that it made them breathless, no one dared to move forward. They could only stand there obediently, like a group of tamed puppets.

Zhang Du then turned back, staring at Gu Nan intently, and licked his lips. "Don't look down on me just because I'm a woman. If you feel you haven't rested enough, or aren't ready to die, I can give you some time to breathe and let you live a little longer. That way, when you die, you won't blame yourself for not being prepared and being a fool."

Gu Nan frowned as he looked at the group of people before him. He still couldn't figure out what kind of deity he had offended that would warrant them paying such a high price and hiring so many desperate men to take his life. He took a deep breath, suppressed his restlessness, and said, "I just have one last question."

Zhang Du subconsciously looked at Ciao Tu - after all, she was just an executor who was paid to do the job. When it came to matters involving her employer, she still had to follow the employer's arrangements to avoid breaking the rules.

At this moment, the cunning rabbit looked at Gu Nan like a turtle trapped in a jar, unable to escape. He didn't take it to heart at all. He sneered and said, "Alright, since you're going to die soon, ask whatever you want. I'll tell you everything I can, so you can go more comfortably."
