Chapter 1082: He Took Lu Guixin Away Right in Front of Us? (Lu Guixin Part 6)

It was slightly dim on the second floor’s viewing platform. The lights and shadows made Lu Jilai’s defined face look extremely eye-catching. It seemed like it had been carefully outlined by an ink brush. His thin lips curled slightly to form a cold and nonchalant smile, and it was hard to hide his distinguished aura.

With his arm placed over her shoulders, Lu Guixin flashed her older brother a forced smile.

To Zhou Fu, the siblings’ interactions seemed like a rich scion, who had never done an honest day’s work, was hitting on Lu Guixin and forcing her to do something against her wishes. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes darkened as he stared at the girl.

It was hot and noisy with screams and shouts filling the underground casino, but Zhou Fu, who had long gotten used to such scenes, found it especially annoying for the first time. His irritation was shown plainly on his face. He wanted to leave right away, but for some reason, his feet stayed stuck to the ground, and it was hard to tear his gaze away from the girl.

Upon detecting Zhou Fu’s gaze, Lu Jilai’s smile deepened slightly as he said to his sister without turning to look at her, “Z’s looking at you.”

Gu Si, Gu Hui, and Lu Jixing had noticed it too. The three of them turned their heads and looked down.

With an unamused smile on his face, Gu Si leaned down slightly and placed his arms on the railing for support. He then arrogantly greeted Zhou Fu with a lift of his hand.

Gu Si, who had struck terror to the prestigious families on Jijing Island at the mere age of eight, had become even more rigorous and vicious over the years and was capable of managing Jijing Island entirely on his own now.

Just a look from him was enough to make people tremble in fear. Not to mention that this look was filled with oppression and warning despite the seeming smile. He was warning Zhou Fu to keep his eyes to himself.

Zhou Fu, however, ignored him and continued to stare unblinkingly at Lu Guixin.

The Tian Que staff, who was together with Zhou Fu, was of a higher position, so he was naturally extremely good at reading people’s expressions. Moreover, it didn’t take a brainer to imagine how powerful the group was, seeing how his manager was standing respectfully behind them.

His heart leaped to his mouth when he saw Zhou Fu not curbing himself. He hurriedly bowed to Gu Si and the others in respect and shifted slightly closer to Zhou Fu. With a smile plastered on his face, he eked out, “Those people are Tian Que’s esteemed guests. I heard that they come from a very powerful background. Even our boss has to treat them with the utmost respect. That girl is with them.”

He was trying to warn Zhou Fu that Gu Si and the others weren’t people he could afford to offend and that he shouldn’t find trouble for himself for the sake of a woman just because of a moment of impulse.

It wasn’t strange that the staff would think that Zhou Fu was interested in Lu Guixin, for the girl was just too attractive. Nobody could tear their gaze away from her after looking at her face—she was just too pretty and alluring. Besides, the staff himself had never seen such a pretty face in Tian Que before, even though the place he was working at was filled with beautiful women.

Just then, Lu Guixin looked over and happened to meet Zhou Fu’s eyes, even though they were far away from each other.

Lu Guixin’s gentle and obedient persona had never crumbled in public before. Her clear and bright eyes, soft black hair, exquisite features, and clean and docile appearance formed a distinct contrast with the filthy and noisy underground casino. She looked like a rabbit amid a pack of wolves that could get eaten at any time.

Zhou Fu’s eyes became increasingly frigid. It got so bad that even Lu Guixin could sense the cold aura he was exuding even at a distance, and she had an unexplainable feeling. It was like she had been caught doing something bad.

Lu Jixing clicked his tongue and asked his sister, “What’s going on? The two of you really know each other?”

Even though it was a question, his tone was definite.

Gu Si narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous glint appeared in them as he looked at Zhou Fu, who was still staring at his niece. He said in a slow and light manner, “His eyes are practically on Guixin.” 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

He then paused and said with a laugh, “Since he likes to look at her that much, bring him to our room so he can look at her all he wants.”

In that instant, the manager felt a chill running down his spine. He knew Zhou Fu’s temper all too well. The latter was a difficult person who never bothered to curb himself.?If they meet each other…

Just when the manager was trembling in fear, Zhou Fu retracted his gaze and walked off in big strides while sneering underneath his black mask.?It’s none of my business if she’s stupid enough to come here and court death.

Lu Guixin raised her eyebrows a little as she watched him walk away.?I knew it. Even if he did recognize me, he’s not nosy enough to report me to the school. He didn’t even spare me a glance in school, after all.

Gu Si laughed out loud and squinted his eyes slightly. “He’s quite arrogant.”

“Yeah, he didn’t even look at us when we greeted him.” Lu Jixing crossed his arms in front of his chest and lazily leaned against the railing. “I wonder what background he’s got such that he can act so arrogantly in front of us.”

Lu Jilai looked at the manager and lifted his chin. His meaning was clear—he wanted the manager to bring Z over.

The manager tensed up and dared not say anything. With a trembling bow, he moved to look for Zhou Fu.

“I’m hungry. I want to go to the World Restaurant to eat hotpot,” said Lu Guixin all of a sudden while zipping up her windbreaker and then slipping her hands into its pockets.

Gu Si looked at his niece’s clean and cold face with an unreadable expression. He couldn’t tell if she was feeling bored since the competition had ended or just didn’t want them to meet Z.

Everyone thought it was just a squabble between the siblings at first, but something seemed odd when Lu Guixin was protecting Z even now.

Gu Hui, however, wasn’t interested in stuff like that. When he heard Lu Guixin complaining of her hunger, he immediately said, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Gu Si nodded in agreement. He couldn’t bear to starve his precious niece, after all.

The manager, who had intended to go find Zhou Fu, stopped in his tracks in delight. If they leave, it means that nobody will be finding trouble with Zhou Fu.

Lu Jilai glanced at Zhou Fu, who had already walked to the backstage door with raised eyebrows. He then slung his arm over Lu Guixin’s shoulders and turned around to leave while leaning down slightly to whisper to her, “You’re being too obvious. Uncle Gu Si will run a detailed check on Z’s background and have all the information in just an hour. Your second brother and I won’t even need to do anything.”

Lu Guixin looked at him with dewy eyes and feigned ignorance. “Why would I protect him? I know him, but I’m not close with him. It’s true that I’m hungry.”

“Is that so?” Lu Jilai tilted his head to look into her eyes.

Just before entering backstage, the staff, together with Zhou Fu, looked toward the second floor’s viewing platform again and expressed his regret when he saw how intimate Lu Jilai was being with Lu Guixin. “That girl is probably just a student. It’s such a pity that a pretty girl like her comes to such a place like this for that bit of money.”

The people who came to Tian Que were there to either spend money or to earn money. In the staff’s opinion, Lu Guixin clearly belonged to the latter category instead of focusing on her studies.

Zhou Fu lifted the black curtain, only to suddenly stop and frown.

The staff was still mumbling to himself. “Students these days are clueless about the dangers of society. They think that they can make a fast buck just because they’ve got a pretty face, and most of them do this because of materialism.”

Zhou Fu’s frown deepened.

The staff carefully glanced at Gu Si and the rest. “I can tell that that group of people can’t be messed with. It’ll be too late for regrets once she suffers a huge los—”

Before he could complete his sentence, the staff saw a dark flash of shadow zipping across. It took him a whole second to process what had happened before he turned his head and saw Zhou Fu rushing toward the viewing platform at incredibly fast speed. With a jump, the dark shadow nimbly leaped over the railing. In just the span of a breath, Zhou Fu had landed on the second floor’s viewing platform.

The staff was aghast.?What the f*ck does he want to do?!

Lu Jilai, who was at the back of the group, suddenly felt someone charging at him. He squinted his eyes and swiftly turned around to throw out a punch.

Everyone else looked back and saw the two exchanging blows. Both seemed to be comparable to each other in terms of strength.

Lu Jilai narrowed his eyes.?I could tell that Z didn’t give it his all during the earlier match. Looks like he’s a deep one.

In his momentary distraction, a powerful fist came rushing toward his eyes, which he dodged by quickly moving to the side.

Bam!

Everyone looked over, only to see the arm-sized gold-plated railing snapped into two.

Before Lu Guixin could react, she felt someone grabbing and tugging her arm. The huge force made her stumble and fall into Zhou Fu’s arms. When she came to her senses, she looked up and found herself face to face with Zhou Fu’s beautiful jawline.

The viewing platform on the second floor had completely become the center of focus, with everyone looking over. The originally noisy underground casino had become strangely quiet as well.

The manager felt as if his blood was flowing in the reverse direction as he looked at Zhou Fu and the girl who was tightly wrapped in his arms. “What are you doing, Z?!”

One could tell how stricken he was by how sharply he was speaking.

Zhou Fu swept a frigid glance at Gu Si and the others and said in a glacial voice, “I’m taking her away. Just state your terms to Manager Chu. Now, move aside.”

Manager Chu was at a loss for words.

The hostility in Gu Hui’s eyes grew apparent when he saw the arm around Lu Guixin’s shoulders. He moved forward and wanted to attack Zhou Fu, but he stopped upon receiving a signal from Lu Guixin.

The atmosphere couldn’t be any tenser. Things were at a stalemate for a few seconds before Gu Si cocked an eyebrow and smiled. He lifted his arms and arrogantly lifted a chin in an indication for Zhou Fu to go.

Lu Jilai and Lu Jixing were speechless.

In his brief fight with Lu Jilai, Zhou Fu knew that the former wasn’t an easy opponent and that he might not be able to win against him. At the same time, he became certain that this group of people came from a formidable background. He wasn’t confident that he could successfully take Lu Guixin away if they fought for real.

He couldn’t help but find it strange that they were giving up so easily, but he didn’t have the time to stop and think about it right now. Before leaving, though, he sent a threatening glare their way. “Don’t find trouble with her, or you’ll regret it.”

Manager Chu didn’t dare to say anything and felt as if he was going to suffocate to death when Gu Si and the others didn’t say a single word.

After saying his piece, Zhou Fu left the viewing platform, taking Lu Guixin with him.

Just like that, Lu Jilai and Lu Jixing watched him take their sister away.

The manager, meanwhile, was confused by their reactions.

When Lu Jixing came back to their senses, he looked at Gu Si with a complicated expression. “Uncle Gu Si, are we just going to let him take her away just like that?”?Did a stranger just take my sister away right in front of us?

Gu Si tilted his head and smiled, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he sent Jiangsui a text. [Go run a check on Tian Que’s boxing king, Z.]
