Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 339: You Want To Use Lightning To Play With Me?

Gu Xijin wasn’t expecting the man from the Supervision Department to react this way. She was stunned for a long time before finally coming back to herself, and by that time, the man had already left.

She bit her lip and her eyes flashed dangerously.

“Miss Ah Jin.” A man said from behind her in a whisper. “What do we do now?”

It was bad enough that the Dickens family had changed their person in power to Klaus, now he was even helping the Bai gang. Their Qing triad’s territory was now in danger. It was fine if the Dickens family were the only ones supporting them, but they had basically seen all the top politicians in America dropping by this afternoon.

Thinking about how they had been abusing the Bai gang just a few days ago, the man couldn’t help the shivers that wrecked his body. There was fear in his eyes, as well as despair that he couldn’t hide.

At this moment, the other gangs in these places would definitely lean towards the Bai gang, and the Qing triad would…

“Claude that trash, with his intelligence tripled, he still managed to get used like this!” Gu Xijin’s face darkened again. She took out her phone, and came across a picture of Gu Xiqiao walking in the place. She seemed to have thought of something once she saw this, and she said, “Gu Xiqiao… let’s go back!”

What happened in the Bai gang had already spread on the roads, and they didn’t need to do anything for it to spread. Countless people rushed to contribute things to the Bai gang too, because—they were scared!

That’s right, scared!

So many politicians had visited the Bai gang, and each of them came bearing gifts, and everyone could understand the significance of this. The Bai gang had someone extremely powerful behind them, backing them!

So now, the Qing triad would have bad days!

In just a single day, the situation had turned around!

“Miss Ah Jin, the east side of our territory has been taken back by the Bai gang.”

“Miss Ah Jin, two-thirds of our brothers have left the gang.”

“Miss Ah Jin…”

Gu Xijin watched little by little as the established forces were slowly torn down by the Bai gang, it had just taken two days to tear down a month of effort, and she bit her lip harder at the thought.

She already knew that the Bai gang was under Gu Xiqiao, and she naturally knew that all of this had been orchestrated by Gu Xiqiao.

At the start, the Bai gang had almost been wiped out, but not a single one of them left even though Gu Xijin had tried to entice them over. Now, Gu Xiqiao didn’t do anything, the Qing triad was even in a better condition, but two-thirds of the members had left!

There was nothing more disappointing than watching the people in the gang leaving one by one, and the feeling lingered in Gu Xijin’s mind. She felt like she was going out of her mind!

Gu Xiqiao was erasing her hope bit by bit.

No, there was still some hope! Gu Xijin raised her head suddenly.

“The boss of Qing triad is looking for me?” When Gu Xiqiao received the call from the leader of the Bai gang, she was playing with a few jade stones on a table.

The Bai gang’s leader’s voice was low on the other end. “Yes, Miss Gu. She said she’s your elder sister, but… she seems a bit strange.”

“Alright, I understand. Wait a bit, I’ll be there.” Gu Xiqiao hung up the phone, her eyes flashing.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Shuxuan’s voice came from behind her.

Gu Xiqiao shoved her phone into her pocket. “The Bai gang is looking for me, are you about done with the zoo side?”

“I’ll change my clothes and go with you, wait a while for me.” Jiang Shuxuan nodded his head, and took off his coat. He then went upstairs to take another coat, and came down to go with Gu Xiqiao.

The two of them went together to the Bai gang.

When Gu Xijin had first arrived, the Bai gang leader hadn’t intended to inform her about Gu Xiqiao’s whereabouts. The Qing triad didn’t have the Dicken’s family’s backing anymore, and they wouldn’t be able to do any funny things behind their backs anymore. The Bai gang could thwart the entire Qing triad based on their own strength.

However, Gu Xijin said that she was Gu Xiqiao’s elder sister, which made the Bai gang’s leader hesitate for a moment. That was the reason he finally gave a call to Gu Xiqiao, and he didn’t expect her to really come over.

After hanging up the phone, the Bai gang studied the girl in front of him. She was very pretty, but her face was gloomy, and she looked nothing like Gu Xiqiao. How could this kind of person be Miss Gu’s sister?

The leader of the Bai gang was puzzled, then his gaze shifted to the person next to her. It was a tall, strong man with powerful muscles, but his eyes were blood red, shining like a demon’s. It was the strange light that made the Bai gang leader feel that something was off.

There were only two people who came from Qing triad. One of them was Gu Xijin, and the other member was this young man.

Creak!

The door to the Bai gang opened slowly.

All eyes in the room looked towards the door, watching as the people from outside came in.

Two figures came in with a gust of cold wind, a man with a snow-white complexion, and a female with a stunning appearance.

Everyone in the Bai gang was looking at Gu Xiqiao with excitement in their eyes. The number of times they could see her in person was simply too few, and her being here would obviously lift up their spirits!

Because they could feel proud and conceited!

A powerful boss, one that no one could contend with. In the past few days, Gu Xiqiao’s name had been whispered by the majority of the people here, and the others who weren’t aware of who she was were also curious, and they also couldn’t help but admire this person. But they never could have imagined that they would be able to see her incredible strength with their own eyes?

Her strength was undoubtedly tyrannical, and only a few people could compare to her intelligence. With just herself, she had turned the entire political circle of the United States around, strategizing stunning, vigorous battles, wave after wave.

This war without bloodshed was something that the entire United States had to admire her for, and now when the members of the Bai gang walked out and heard people talking about this matter, they couldn’t help but stand taller, wanting to proudly boast that that was their Miss Gu! That was their boss!

“Gu Xijin, we meet again.” Gu Xiqiao took the seat that the Bai gang leader had just vacated for her, and she flashed a smile at Gu Xijin who was standing in the middle of the room. However, the smile on her face didn’t reach her eyes.

There was even a hint of coldness in them, and her clear eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.

“Sister, it’s been a while. You don’t even call me ‘elder sister’ anymore.” Gu Xijin smiled gently, but before her smile could even form fully on her face, Jiang Shuxuan’s chilling eyes landed on her.

Gu Xijin’s smile froze halfway, and panic made way into her heart. Her hands and legs felt like ice, and the most terrifying memory of her life came flooding back into mind. How could she forget? When she was first sent to America by the Gu family, this man had come for her, crushing all ten of her fingers, painfully and slowly, one by one, making her a useless person by the end of the entire process!

How could she easily forget the fear and pain that she had felt?

But before the fear fully formed, the man’s chilling gaze turned away, as though he didn’t recognize her at all.

Gu XIjin’s nails dug into her palms as she clenched her fist hard. She glanced at the young man beside her, until he nodded so slightly that it was invisible. Then she turned to Gu Xiqiao with a smile forming on her lips which looked so genuine. “Sister, I came here today to tell you a secret.”

“Just say it then.” Gu Xiqiao placed her chin on her palm, looking at the girl with an indifferent expression on her face, not a single hint of curiosity in her face.

Knowing that Gu Xiqiao would react this way, Gu Xijin smiled. “Don’t you want to know why the Gu family, and even your mother abandoned you in the beginning?”

If this had been in the past, Gu Xiqiao would be dying to know. But it had been such a long time now, and she was no longer interested. More importantly, she knew that this was all just a set up by someone, a game that had been started the moment she was born.

Looking at Gu Xijin’s face, Gu Xiqiao suddenly changed her mind. She looked to the bloody eyed young man beside her, and walked to Gu Xijin’s side. “Alright, tell me.”

Gu Xijin smiled, raising her head to look at Gu Xiqiao. “Obviously because, Gu Xiqiao, I am no longer a regular person. Go to h*ll!”

Boom!

A purple thick lightning bolt broke through the roof, slamming straight down towards Gu Xiqiao’s head!

“Miss Gu! Look out!” Everyone in the Bai gang shouted in horror.

Boom!

The lightning bolt which was as thin as a finger, suddenly expanded to be as thick as an arm!

When Gu Xijin saw the change in the bolt, her eyes widened with surprise. She had never summoned such a thick bolt before, which such thickness, it would probably be enough to kill everyone gathered here!

She didn’t see the young man’s face beside her, how his blood-red eyes had widened in shock when the lightning bolt expanded.

He never expected that Gu Xijin would be able to summon thunder and lightning? Oh my god, was she even still an ordinary human?! But in the next moment, he felt a stab of fear for Gu Xiqiao. They knew that she wasn’t an ordinary person, but they had never seen her in action, and they thought that she would be able to handle it.

They saw Gu Xiqiao standing rooted to the spot in the middle of the room, motionless. It looked like she had been frightened to death by the lightning, and was not making any moves.

Miss Gu, you can’t be like this at this time!

Countless members of the Bai gang were of the same mind, and some even got to their feet, intending to rush towards her to help.

But suddenly—

The thick bolt of lightning did indeed strike down, but it didn’t land on Gu Xiqiao. She stretched out her left hand, and easily, grabbed the thick bolt with her bare hand.

The horrified expressions of the Bai gang members instantly changed to shock, their mouths hanging open as their eyeballs widened so much that it threatened to pop out of their sockets!

Their… their Miss Gu had just grabbed it with her hand?

F*ck, what the h*ll was this situation?!

“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” A member beside the Bai gang leader muttered quietly under his breath.

The Bai gang leader was also in a state of disbelief. “I finally understand why the people in the gang say that you should never try to estimate how strong Miss Gu is, because you don’t even know where her limit is at.”

“We’re actually following such a boss?”

Another person spoke, his voice light, “Brother, when you think of the terrifying strength that the Peace Squad has, and then compare it to Miss Gu’s, it’s still not something that you can easily accept.”

The members of the Bai gang could almost feel their souls leaving their bodies.

Gu Xijin wasn’t faring any better. The smug look on her face had morphed into astonishment and disbelief. She looked at the thick lightning bolt still in Gu Xiqiao’s hands, and she was going out of her mind. How was that possible? How was that possible?! She wasn’t an ordinary person anymore, she could summon thunder and lightning, but, but why was Gu Xiqiao able to hold it with her bare hands?!

The purple bolt in Gu Xiqiao’s slender, white hands crackled lightly. The light reflected on her snow-white face, giving her a mysterious look. She watched the lightning for a while, before raising her head, amusement dancing in her clear, onyx eyes as she looked at Gu Xijin, “And here I was thinking what was it that you had up your sleeves, but that’s it? You want to use lightning to play with me?”

Before Gu Xijin’s disbelieving eyes, the thunderbolt in Gu Xiqiao’s hands had easily bent to her will, and she used it to tie her up!

If there was anyone from the ancient martial arts world or the Peace Squad present, they would definitely be rolling their eyes right now.

Of all the things to do, you chose to use lightning against Gu Xiqiao? Are you really that impatient for death? Didn’t you know that Gu Xiqiao was the master of all masters at controlling thunder and lightning?!

However, everyone on the scene except Jiang Shxuuan wasn’t aware of that fact, and so all of their eyes were on Gu Xiqiao, looking at her like she was some kind of monster!

Gu Xijin’s attention was still on the thunderbolt that was now wrapped around her, limiting her movements. It had been difficult for her to even control that much, but it seemed to be coming alive in Gu Xiqiao’s hands. Gu Xiqiao had once again effortlessly shattered all her hopes!

In that instant, she finally understood the gap between herself and Gu Xiqiao!

One was the sky, and one was the earth. No matter how much work she put in, or how much stronger she became, she would never be able to catch up to Gu Xiqiao, and would fall far behind her. All her efforts were practically a joke compared to her!

She had thought that she was strong enough, but Gu Xiqiao was even stronger!

The thought never occurred to Gu Xijin, that if Gu Xiqiao wasn’t this strong, would all the political leaders of the United States be so obedient towards her?
