The woman was wearing a scarlet windbreaker and a black vest underneath. She was tall and slender, her figure well-proportioned.
Her black hair was neatly tied up into a high ponytail.
He had never seen a woman who could look so beautiful in red.
Not all women suited the color red.
However, her skin was so fair that any color on her would bring out her dignified aura.
Gripping the pistol tightly, Vermillion Bird aimed it between his eyebrows. Even when she met his gaze, there was not a hint of fear in her eyes.
She isn’t afraid of him.
How rare.
There had never been a woman who did not fear his sharp and vicious gaze during their first meeting.
“Are you from the Luosheng hall?”
Gu Jinglian sized her up. “You look very unfamiliar.”
“Young Master Gu, you’re about to die. Do you have any last words for me?”
Luo Shengjie asked proudly.
Vermillion Bird had disguised herself as’ Red Lotus’ to infiltrate the Gu family as a spy. With her top-notch capabilities, she was soon quickly valued by Luo Shengjie.
Coupled with her beautiful looks, she became one of the most impressive figures in the Gu family.
The Gu family rarely had female disciples, let alone those like Vermillion Bird.
However, Gu Jinglian completely ignored Luo Shengjie and instead scrutinized Vermillion Bird. Suddenly, his lips curved into a devilish, yet ambiguous, smile. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
He noticed the hesitation that appeared in Vermilion Bird’s eyes.
“Red Lotus! Kill him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shengjie shot his subordinates a look, who inched closer to them. Her black gun was aimed right between Gu Jinglian’s eyebrows. As long as Luo Shengjie gave the order, the man in front of her would instantly become a corpse.
Red Lotus?
So she’s called Red Lotus.
Gu Jinglian smirked. Suddenly, he lowered his head and gently leaned towards the cat’s ear. With a relaxed expression, he said, “Red Lotus, kill him.”
“Young Master Gu, are you mistaken? Red Lotus works for me. She will never betray me!”
“If you can betray my father, why are you so sure that your subordinates won’t betray you?” Gu Jinglian asked slowly.
Luo Shengjie laughed maniacally. However, before he could finish his laughter, Vermillion Bird suddenly whirled around and aimed the gun at him.
A gunshot was heard, followed by a loud bang. A bullet pierced through his forehead and his skull, even injuring his subordinates behind him.
A cold glint flashed across Gu Jinglian’s eyes as he adjusted his windbreaker.
Instantly, the port was filled with smoke.
Luosheng hall’s plan was well thought out. However, it did not mean that Gu Jinglian would fall for their trick.
This time, he had returned to the Gu family home with thorough preparations.
He had already expected someone to betray him.
He had long known that the journey back to the Gu family would not be peaceful. Hence, his subordinates who accompanied him were all top-notch fighters.
In less than ten minutes, Luosheng hall’s men were completely annihilated.
Except for Vermillion Bird.
She had a meticulous plan too. Initially, she planned to sneak into the Gu family, use the opportunity to get closer to Gu Jinglian and collect evidence.
Knowing that Luo Shengjie had the intention to rebel, she professed loyalty to him. Her aim was to wait for this day to come, where she would use this opportunity to gain Gu Jinglian’s trust.
Blood flowed like a river on the ground, with numerous severely injured men collapsed on the ground.
Gu Jinglian leaned against the car door and played with the cat in his arms. Despite the strong metallic stench of blood, he did not flinch at all.
