Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 316Vol. 1 - - Strained smile

Bai XingQi slowly turned around, but the moment she saw who it was, her brow furrowed.

“Gu WeiYi? What are you doing here?”

“Miss Bai, that question is meaningless. Hand him over. You can leave now.”

The gun in Gu WeiYi’s hand was aimed directly at her. From the look in his eyes, there was no doubt—he was taking Bai YongKang with him tonight.

Bai YongKang clutched his abdomen, his eyes fixed on Gu WeiYi with grim intensity.

If he ended up in Gu WeiYi’s hands, there was a ninety percent chance he wouldn’t make it out alive. But if he stayed with Bai XingQi, then death was a certainty.

So he decided to gamble. If he got the chance, he would escape from Gu WeiYi.

His mind was made up. Meanwhile, tension stretched between the two who stood facing each other.

“Gu WeiYi,” Bai XingQi said coldly, “Bai YongKang is mine to deal with. It’s not your place to interfere.”

“Bai XingQi, I want him dead too. Hand him over. I’m not like my brother—I have no ties to you. You didn’t help the Gu family back then out of kindness. You were just cleaning up the mess this bastard made. Don’t think I owe you anything.”

Bai XingQi knew the story behind Gu WeiYi well enough. If Bai YongKang hadn’t taken advantage of the chaos to harm Gu WeiYi’s wife, she wouldn’t have had to pay such a steep price to barely keep the Bai family alive.

And now, because of Bai YongKang again, she was being threatened at gunpoint.

Tonight, Bai XingQi felt humiliated like never before. freewebnoveℓ.com

More than that, she regretted the decision she had made earlier. Gu WeiJun had warned her. But she’d trusted Lou Ze too much.

If not for Lou Ze, things never would have escalated to this point.

“Gu WeiYi, must you complicate this? I don’t think taking him away will do you any good. You’re taking a huge risk.”

The police were swarming downstairs. If Gu WeiYi could still manage to get out with someone in tow—it would be impressive.

“No need for your concern. Now bring him over. You have your own mess to deal with, Bai XingQi.”

His words made her click her tongue in annoyance. She grabbed Bai YongKang by the collar and tossed him toward Gu WeiYi without hesitation.

Gu WeiYi didn’t even flinch. As Bai YongKang tumbled toward him, he raised a foot and kicked him squarely in the head, knocking him out cold.

Then he hoisted Bai YongKang up and started heading down the stairs.

Inside the ballroom, guests were being evacuated in an orderly fashion. Xia XiaoXi was searching the crowd for HuMing.

She hadn’t seen him at all since the chaos began. Even after stepping outside and sending him a message, there was no reply.

Clutching her phone tightly, she was filled with a growing sense of unease.

“XiaoXi, let’s go home.”

Xia Chen had come to find his sister, ready to take her back. Their father was standing off to the side, speaking to someone—but that person was hidden behind the crowd, and Xia Chen couldn’t see clearly.

When he finally tried to get a closer look, the person turned and vanished into the sea of people.

Xia GaoWu turned just then and met his son’s gaze. He smiled faintly and stepped forward to place a hand on Xia Chen’s head.

“Xia Chen, take your sister home. I’ve got something to handle. I’ll be back soon.”

His voice was calm, lips pressed tight as if he were holding something back—something that made Xia Chen uneasy.

“Dad… does it have to be now?”

“Yes. Xia Chen, you’re the older brother. Take good care of your sister, alright?”

“…Got it.”

Xia GaoWu looked toward Xia XiaoXi. Seeing her still scanning the crowd, searching anxiously, he sighed and walked away, slipping into a sleek black car.

The guests pouring out of the banquet hall all looked like survivors of a disaster.

Luckily, there weren’t many injuries. The only fatality had been the old master of the Bai family. The rest were the criminals.

Under the circumstances, it was the best outcome they could’ve hoped for.

But the Bai family—there was no way they could remain in the capital after this. And the real storm was only just beginning. All eyes were turning to Blizzard.

Everyone knew Blizzard was the true force backing the Bai family. And although Bai XingQi had been threatened onstage by Bai YongKang, that only made it clear—she wasn’t in control of what was happening.

Very soon, people would start taking action against Blizzard.

Elsewhere, the Gu family was regrouping. Gu WeiJun was organizing transportation, getting people out as quickly as possible.

Gu WeiYi’s current whereabouts were unknown. As for HuMing—he’d shown up once, briefly. Rumor was he’d been hiding in the bathroom the whole time and avoided detection.

That was the official story. Gu WeiJun knew better.

Through it all, Gu ZhaoChuan remained unnervingly composed. Anyone watching might think he had nerves of steel, completely unfazed by the night’s chaos.

In truth, though the situation hadn’t played out exactly as he and Shi Zhong had planned—it had come close enough.

Now came the most critical part.

Gu ZhaoChuan’s sharp gaze followed the black car Xia GaoWu had just entered.

“All right. Let’s go home.”

“By the way, where’s Uncle?” Gu ZhaoChuan finally asked, puzzled by Gu WeiYi’s prolonged absence.

“He went to the station to deal with things. We’ll go home first.” Gu WeiJun nudged him into the car, but not before casting a glance toward HuMing.

HuMing was deep in conversation with a man—one whose reaction might change everything.

If things went well, this could be a pivotal turning point for them.

As the car drove off, HuMing remained in place, calmly facing the man.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking. But after everything you saw tonight, how do you feel?”

“…Was this your doing?” Dr. Huang frowned. The young man’s demeanor had caught his attention.

“I’m just telling you—the whole performance tonight? That was Shi Zhong’s show. Bai YongKang was the scapegoat. If he can fall, who else won’t? Dr. Huang, I mean it—when it comes down to it, I’m more reliable than that sewer rat.”

He gave the doctor’s pocket a pat, then turned and walked toward Xia XiaoXi.

Dr. Huang reached into his pocket. His fingers brushed a card—and a long, cylindrical object.

The moment he felt its shape, his body froze.

Staring after HuMing in stunned silence, disbelief clouded his expression.

“I’ll have the driver take you two home,” HuMing said as he reached Xia XiaoXi and Xia Chen, offering a strained smile.

It didn’t quite reach his eyes.
