Xiao, Chu Xinyue asked angrily, "Who are they?"

Secretary Li replied, "I'm not sure, but I heard them say they're from the Gu family."

Hearing the name "Gu family," Lin Miao's expression changed instantly, and a sense of fear washed over her again.

Just now, Gu Dongqing had been severely beaten, and now the Gu family had come knocking. It seemed they were here with ill intentions.

Chu Xinyue said calmly, "They dare to cause trouble here? I want to see how bold they really are."

...

At that moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the group's building, a group of security guards lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

The head of security stood in the center of the lobby, his face and mouth still bearing injuries, but he still stood guard against the unwelcome Gu family, preventing them from rushing upstairs.

Gu Qianyang looked at the fallen security guards and sneered, "A bunch of useless fools. With such poor skills, you think you can be security guards? You're not even fit to be dogs for the Gu family."

The Gu family members who had come with him all burst into laughter, their eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

The head of security wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "You bastards, if Morgan were here, you wouldn't have the chance to act so arrogantly!"

"Morgan? What kind of nobody is that?" Gu Qianyang said disdainfully.

Gu Dongqing was the Gu family's primary heir. Although the Gu family wasn't the wealthiest among the elite families, they were a martial arts family, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

Gu Dongqing and Gu Qianyang were half-brothers, both inheriting the family's martial arts bloodline, and they had shown exceptional talent since childhood.

When the Gu family had planned to marry into the Lin family, it further solidified Gu Dongqing's position as the future heir.

This move had infuriated Gu Qianyang, but today, Gu Dongqing had been injured, and things had taken a turn.

A family elder had once said that if Gu Qianyang could marry Lin Miao, he would become the Gu family's heir.

Marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman and becoming the head of the Gu family would be the pinnacle of his life.

Soon, Gu Qianyang saw Lin Miao and Chu Xinyue coming down from the elevator together.

When he saw Chu Xinyue, his eyes lit up.

"I want both of these women."

His father had many women, so he could certainly follow suit.

He then walked over to Lin Miao and said gently, "Miaomiao, come with me. I'll treat you well for the rest of your life."

Lin Miao was surprised to see Gu Qianyang. "Isn't it Gu Dongqing who's supposed to marry me? Why are you here?"

Gu Qianyang snorted lightly. "That guy is finished. He can no longer contribute to the family's lineage, so of course, he won't be chosen as the heir."

Gu Qianyang had already done his homework before coming. He knew that Xia Yunfan was just a shield for Lin Miao—she didn't have a boyfriend.

"You're disgusting. Do you think of me as some kind of commodity to be traded?" Lin Miao said coldly.

Hearing this, Gu Qianyang burst into laughter. "Haha, do you still think you're some kind of noble lady? You're just a tool for the two families to form an alliance through marriage. If you make me happy, I might let you be a young madam. If you don't know your place, you'll just be a concubine."

Now, Gu Qianyang only wanted to take her by force. Once the deed was done, the Lin family would be eager to have him marry her.

"You scoundrel, I won't go with you," Lin Miao said angrily.

"Do you think you have a choice?" Gu Qianyang said.

With a wave of his hand, his subordinates stepped forward, ready to take her by force.

"Stop! Do you think Xingyue is a place where you can cause trouble?" Chu Xinyue pulled Lin Miao behind her and said.

Gu Qianyang looked at the even more beautiful woman and smiled. "You must be Lin Miao's cousin. To be honest, you're much prettier than her. Why don't you come with me? Why bother being a CEO and working so hard?"

"You shameless scoundrel," Chu Xinyue said furiously.

"Haha, I hope you say the same when you're in my bed. I'll teach you how to be an obedient woman," Gu Qianyang said, licking his lips.

This was the first time Gu Qianyang had seen such a stunning beauty. If he could have her, it would be perfect.

"Hehe, just obey our young master, or you'll suffer."

"Be gentle when you take them. Don't damage the beauties, or the young master will be heartbroken."

The subordinates couldn't help but laugh. They could already imagine how their master would reward them after capturing these two women.

"Take your filthy hands off them," Ruan Lingxue stepped forward and scolded.

Gu Qianyang finally noticed this woman. She looked cold and aloof, but she was a true ice beauty.

"Haha, today is my lucky day. Another beauty, though not quite as stunning as the other two, but she has character. I like that," Gu Qianyang said, his eyes lustfully fixed on Ruan Lingxue.

"A small family dares to act so recklessly here," Ruan Lingxue said coldly.

At that moment, the cold aura around her intensified. Before anyone could feel fear, a dazzling flash of blade light appeared.

"Ah!"

The tendons in the hands of the Gu family subordinates were all severed.

The entire lobby was filled with screams. The security guards who had been lying on the ground forgot their pain and watched the scene unfold.

Ruan Lingxue then pointed her dagger directly at Gu Qianyang's neck.

"Young master, be careful!" An old man quickly stepped in front of Gu Qianyang and caught the dagger with his hand.

"Pfft."

The immense force sent Ruan Lingxue flying backward. She flipped in the air and landed next to Chu Xinyue, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Young girl, you're quite skilled. If you're willing, you can be my maid," the old man said with a smile.

"Uncle Ding, thank you," Gu Qianyang said, gasping for breath, still shaken.

He had felt death was so close just now. If Uncle Ding hadn't stepped in, his neck would have been cut.

"Uncle Ding, cut her tendons. I want to play with her when we get home," Gu Qianyang said hatefully.

"Of course, young master. She'll be your maid," Uncle Ding said with a smile.

Gu Qianyang looked at the three women triumphantly. "I'll take all three of them. I'll make them crawl on the ground like dogs and do whatever I want."

Lying in Chu Xinyue's arms, Ruan Lingxue clenched her teeth tightly, her dagger still pointed at the approaching Uncle Ding. She swore to herself that if she could return to the Blood Mist Pavilion, she would annihilate the entire Gu family.

"Jiejie, it's your fortune to become the young master's women. Just come with me obediently," Uncle Ding said as he stepped forward.

"Take my woman, and you'll leave your life behind."
