Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Gu Minmin Has Left

He stopped all of Le Jiani’s work, not just for his own sister’s sake.

But he was also relieved that Dahai and Minmin met like strangers.

His sister is too young, being with that old man Dahai, she’s at a disadvantage!

Now it seems, after all, he thought too simply about things.

After a long while, Gu Minmin broke away from Gu Jiajie’s embrace, wiped her tears, and her eyes showed a determination never seen before.

"Brother, I want to leave."

...

Gu Minmin left, she went without a sound.

By the time Gu Jin and An Mingji heard the news, she had already left for several days.

Regarding her whereabouts, Gu Jiajie said nothing, only stating that the girl made up her mind, and he couldn’t control her.

The helplessness on his face, and the hint of anger hidden, showed that Gu Minmin’s departure was not part of his plan.

They kept Gu Minmin’s departure a secret from everyone, Qiu Qianghai never knew.

...

The night was dark and the wind was high, it was the perfect time to commit misdeeds.

In an old alleyway, the wind blew at a leisurely pace, while a few stray cats occasionally jumped out from the crumbling city wall.

"Meow, meow—"

The cries of the stray cats added an extra touch of horror to the already dreary alley.

Behind the old alley was a wide street filled with bright lights and revelry.

At this moment, a staggering figure turned onto the road from the wide street.

The person was humming the most popular song at the time, a deep and greasy male voice.

"True feelings are like plum blossoms blooming

The cold snow cannot bury them

Blooming at the coldest branches

Seeing spring walk towards you and me.

Snowflakes flutter, the north wind—"

"Meow meow meow—" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Meow meow meow meow—"

Just as the man sang with excitement, the shrill cries of stray cats rang out one after another.

The man, Le Dahai, stopped singing and halted his steps, looking up towards the sound to see several pairs of glowing green eyes on the dilapidated wall.

"Damn it, what bad luck!"

He threw the beer bottle he was carrying at the stray cats on the wall.

"Smash!" The sound of breaking glass rang out.

"Meow meow meow!"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

The piercing cat cries became fiercer than before.

The stray cats leapt down and jumped into the crowded and dirty alley.

They turned around, casting a sinister green glance at the drunken Le Dahai, then scattered and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.

Le Dahai grumbled a few curses, continuing to walk down the shadowy alley.

Without the cat’s disturbance, his interest in singing surged again.

"Snowflakes flutter, the north wind whistles

The world is vast and boundless

A plum blossom in the cold

Standing proudly in the snow

Only for the scent of my beloved—"

Le Dahai sang loudly, his voice echoing.

He was utterly unaware of what awaited him in the gloomy alley ahead.

"Oh damn... shit!" As Le Dahai walked, he tripped on something underfoot.

He fell to the ground with a thud!

This time, his face hit the ground, and it hurt badly.

He shakily got up, sat on the ground, turned back, groping for the obstacle that tripped him, and found it was a trash can.

Instantly filled with rage, he started cursing: "Damn it! Which damn fool put this here!"

In the quiet alley, besides the leisurely blowing wind, no one was there to respond to him.

Le Dahai vented his irritation, swaying as he stood up, and continued to wobbly move forward.

Just as he reached the turn with several big garbage bins, a few figures slowly emerged from the opposite corner.
