However, Gu Chcngrui’s footsteps gradually slowed when he reached the Wang family’s house.
This was not the first time he visited the Wang family.
Every time he came here, there would be guards on duty, and the nearby streets were clean without dust.
But now, not only were leaves and branches flying everywhere on the street, but even dog and cat poop were all over the ground.
There wasn’t even a shadow of a person in sight at the main gate of the residence, where people usually entered and exited.
He immediately became vigilant. Did something happen to the Wang family? Or was it…
Thinking of this, he looked at the person who had led him here and quickly realized that he had been careless.
Because this person was really too thin, so thin that he was a little out of shape.
Although the harvest this year wasn’t good, with the Wang family’s heritage, they wouldn’t starve their servants to this extent.
“Why did you stop? Hurry up. Our old master is still waiting for you to treat him.” The guide saw him stop and immediately turned his head to urge him. “Doesn’t your family’s third concubine have medical skills? She’ll do fine for emergency treatment. My stomach suddenly hurts. I have to go to the toilet to resolve it.” Gu Chengrui turned around and ran to a public toilet not far away.
“Wait. Don’t we have a side toilet in the manor? Let’s go over there.” The guide immediately rushed over and blocked his way.
“No, your master is a clean freak. If I use your manor’s side toilet, I’ll have to wait for your master’s approval. It’ll be too late by then.” Gu Chengrui pushed him away and probed carefully.
The guide was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that there would be such a problematic person. He quickly stopped him and said, “I’ll be fine if I run faster ahead to ask for permission. Just follow me.”
Gu Chengrui knew he was lying when he heard the person’s reply. This was because Gu Chengrui was simply making things up when he said he needed the old master’s approval to use the toilet.
Looking at his anxious mood, he confirmed that the Wang Residence was an ambush.
So, when Gu Chengrui saw him coming over again, he twisted his arm and pulled him down to the ground.
Gu Chengrui knelt, lifted the guide’s arms, and pressed his face down on the ground. He stopped and asked, “Who are you, and who are the people inside?” “Cough, cough, uh, uh.” The guide returned to his senses and struggled a few times, but it was no use. The more he struggled, the more pain he felt. He could only shout, “My Lord, big brother, help, help!”
Although he was shouting with all his might, his voice was muffled. He was subdued with his head lowered, which meant his shouts couldn’t reach the ideal volume to be heard from the residence. Only one person could listen to them, and it was Gu Chengrui.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui forcefully twisted the person’s wrist. Following a muffled groan, he leaned over and asked, “Who’s inside? Tell me the truth, or I’ll take your life first.”
Then, he removed a scalpel from his first aid kit and waved it in front of the person’s eyes.
The scalpel of fine steel reflected a sharp light under the sunlight, and the glint blinded the guide.
Of course, Gu Chengrui had no intention of just showing off. He stuck it directly to his face and made a light cut; thus, a wound that could only bleed was born.
The guide felt a chill on his face, and then he felt something flowing down. When he saw that it was blood, he was so scared that he started to shiver.
Gu Chengrui sneered. “What do you think? My scalpel here is sharp, huh? It can cut your windpipe without any effort.”
After he finished speaking, he placed the scalpel on his neck..
