However, unexpectedly, Gu Yuan didn't panic at all but instead sneered, "Revenge on Young Master Qian? I wouldn't dare."
"As for doing some shady things, I spend my days either chopping wood or hunting in the mountains. What else could I be up to?"
"It's you two dogs, using Qian Mansion's name to commit atrocities outside and tarnishing Qian Mansion's reputation. Now, you even falsely accuse me. You two are really something!"
"Believe it or not, if Qian Mansion finds out, the first ones to be dealt with won't be me but yourselves?!"
Upon hearing "dogs," the two men's faces turned livid with anger. Sun Er stood up, ready to teach Gu Yuan a lesson.
"You... you speak nonsense!"
But after hearing Gu Yuan's words, Sun Er trembled, his face turning pale with fright, and he plopped back down on his seat, sobered up.
As for Dong Gui, his expression wasn't great either.
He initially planned to intimidate this kid, but who would've thought the kid was so eloquent, turning the tables on him.
If Butler Wu really finds out, not only will his plan be ruined, but the two of them might really be in big trouble!
He has dealt with these big families before and knows the ins and outs. If Butler Wu were to know they were using Qian Mansion's name to cause trouble outside, regardless of whether or not it tarnished Qian Mansion's reputation, they wouldn't be spared.
"Enough!"
Dong Gui tapped the table with his fingers, not following Gu Yuan's rhythm: "Kid, tell me, what are you really here for?"
"What am I here for?"
Gu Yuan looked at him strangely, as if looking at an idiot: "You're asking, knowing full well—obviously!"
"Today, you two dogs went to my home, did something you know too well, and of course I came here for revenge."
"Now, break one of your hands each, and I'll let you go."
"Damn you!"
Dong Gui's face turned blue at being constantly insulted as "dogs" by Gu Yuan, and unable to hold it, he stood up, grabbed a nearby stool, ready to smash it over.
But just as he picked up the stool, Gu Yuan kicked him in the chest.
Bang!
Dong Gui flew backwards, his back and head slammed against the wall, leaving him dizzy, feeling something wet on his head. When he touched it, it turned out to be blood.
Gu Yuan leisurely pulled back his foot, then punched Sun Er who charged at him.
Sun Er's face instantly bloomed with blood, his nose was flattened into a pancake pressed against his face, the impact made him scream, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth:
"I knew you wouldn't agree, but it's okay, I can help you."
"Help us?"
Dizzy-headed, Dong Gui suddenly felt an ominous premonition:
"Wait, what are you going to do?!"
As he spoke, his right hand slowly reached for his back waist, grasping a dagger.
Just as he was about to pull it out, Gu Yuan seemed to notice, quickly stepped up, and slapped his face.
Snap!
This slap was crisp and loud, Gu Yuan did not hold back, Dong Gui rolled to the side, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and one side of his face swelled visibly.
Even several teeth mixed with blood were spit out by him.
"This slap is for when you hit my father. Now, I'm giving it back to you!"
Gu Yuan's face was calm, his eyes appeared obscure in the oil lamp's light, serene yet making Dong Gui increasingly uneasy, even generating a bit of fear from an unknown origin.
"Cough... cough cough! No, wait!"
Dong Gui coughed a few times, instinctively explaining: "I didn't do it, it was Sun Er, he...he took action."
Snap!
But before he finished speaking, Gu Yuan raised his hand and slapped again, choking back his words and continued speaking:
"This slap is interest!"
"As for who did it, it doesn't matter, it makes no difference to me anyway."
After this slap, Dong Gui spat out another mouthful of blood, his gums loosened, two teeth were spit out, showing how ruthless Gu Yuan was.
Saying this, Gu Yuan picked up a table leg from the ground, stepped forward, looked into Dong Gui's swollen, poisonous eyes, and said indifferently: "Now, it's time to settle other scores."
"I have no enmity with you, yet you two have been watching me, and even wrecked my home throwing dirt on me, cornering my whole family into despair. You're bullying an honest person!"
Gu Yuan's tone carried a hint of coldness:
"So, breaking one of your hands and legs isn't too much, is it?"
"No, stop! Spare me..."
Dong Gui's expression changed, having foreseen something, he tried to dodge full of fear, but now his body hurt unbearably, dizzy, unable to resist.
Gu Yuan swung the table leg, unhesitatingly struck Dong Gui's leg.
Bang!
Crunch!
With a crisp, frightening sound, Dong Gui's right leg deformed and twisted.
"Ah!!!"
Dong Gui's voice was miserable and full of pain.
Gu Yuan showed no mercy, and struck Dong Gui's arm again with the stick.
With a crunching sound, a piece of white bone pierced through Dong Gui's flesh, exposed outside.
Dong Gui's howl escalated several notches and probably alarmed half of the Gu Family Village.
After all this, Gu Yuan carried the stick towards Sun Er.
After two bangs, Sun Er ended up the same, being awakened by Gu Yuan, rolling in pain and howling, needless to say more.
"I know you two hate me now, wishing to skin me alive and light me on fire."
Gu Yuan casually tossed aside the blood-stained stick, his tone icy cold:
"But I don't care. If you dare to take revenge... or even show any sign of wanting revenge, next time, I'll kill you directly. You can try, if you don't believe it."
His words were spoken lightly, yet the embedded cold murderous intent made both of their faces change drastically, fear flooding their hearts.
In the past, neither of them would have taken Gu Yuan seriously, nor believed a young boy could dare to kill.
But after experiencing the painful lesson just now, they were already convinced by Gu Yuan's words!
This kid really dares to kill!
Especially seeing Gu Yuan calmly breaking their limbs without any discomfort, a deep chill rose in their hearts.
Dong Gui, full of resentment, felt like crying without tears, even regretting a bit.
He was really afraid!
If he had known this kid was so ruthless and difficult to deal with, he wouldn't have dared to go cause trouble.
Now, not only didn't he gain any benefits, but his limbs were broken by Gu Yuan, and he would suffer for months!
