Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

53: Chapter 0053: Lucky Escape 53: Chapter 0053: Lucky Escape “Dragon King, this junior had no idea you were here.

If I have given any offense, please forgive me, Dragon King.”

“The ignorant are not at fault.

Go back and tell that old monster at Heaven’s Gate that once I’ve mastered the Divine Skill, I’ll definitely come and challenge him to another fight!”

“Yes!

Yes!

This junior takes his leave.”

Gu Wanli turned to leave, his brow furrowing once he had his back turned.

Why was the Dragon King so amenable to reason?

Could it be that he was severely injured?

Should I test him?

“Hold on.” Just as Gu Wanli was internally conflicted, the old devil suddenly spoke.

Gu Wanli’s body halted, and that bit of temptation was quickly cast aside to the clouds.

The Dragon King was still the Dragon King, not so easily appeased.

“Dragon King, do you have any further commands for me?”

“Your people damaged my apprentice daughter-in-law’s car.

Send over an exact same model immediately, and take care of the aftermath neatly.

If there’s the slightest disturbance tomorrow, I will pay a visit to your Gu Family.”

“Dare not!

Dare not!”

Sweat beaded on Gu Wanli’s forehead.

Even if the Dragon King was truly injured, he dared not provoke him lightly!

The Dragon King stood alone, whereas he had a family to consider.

What if the Dragon King flew into a rage and annihilated their Gu Family?

The old devil snorted coldly and turned to stride firmly into the quadrangle courtyard.

After entering, without any visible action from the old devil, the courtyard gates closed automatically.

Witnessing this, Gu Wanli breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thankful he hadn’t acted rashly.

Otherwise, he would probably be a corpse by now.

What Gu Wanli didn’t know was that after closing the room door, the old devil’s complexion changed, his rosy cheeks turning deathly pale in an instant!

Taking a deep breath, the old devil continued to walk toward the main house with steady steps.

After closing the doors to the main house, the old devil could no longer control the True Yuan rampaging inside his body!

With a pu sound, he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

Luckily, by that time, Gu Wanli had already sprinted away like a startled rabbit and hadn’t heard any noise from that direction.

Gu Wanli was utterly frustrated; he hadn’t expected that hunting down a junior would draw out the Dragon King!

Gu Wanli didn’t dare to challenge the Dragon King’s authority.

Those who had done so before had all perished, with only that person from Heaven’s Gate still alive.

However, that person was still healing and showed no signs of emerging.

The Gu Family was swift in their actions.

At Gu Wanli’s command, the Gu Family promptly delivered a brand-new Kaman that very night.

Taking the Toyota business van away on a tow truck, they cleaned up the scattered debris on the ground.

If it weren’t for the traces of damage on the jujube tree, it would be hard for anyone to spot any sign of the incident the next day.

Once everything was in order, Gu Wanli left with the people of the Gu Family.

Feeling Gu Wanli’s presence growing fainter in the distance, the old devil finally breathed a sigh of relief and struggled into the main house’s bedroom.

The bedroom’s scene was all too familiar to the old devil—a mud bed, two worn-out cloth sofas, an old writing desk, and on that desk, a latest-generation color TV from Peony brand.

However, on the mud bed were two additional figures: Qin Yu lay prostrate, while Su Ziyan sat by the bed’s edge, sobbing incessantly.

“Apprentice daughter-in-law, stop your crying.

This lad is tough; he won’t die.”

“Master, but why hasn’t Qin Yu woken up yet?”

Su Ziyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, completely oblivious to the fact that her hands were covered in dust, turning her exquisitely beautiful face into a patchwork like a little calico cat.

“Cough cough…”

Just as Su Ziyan finished speaking, Qin Yu coughed dryly.

“You damned boy!

Don’t spit out blood carelessly!

You’ll dirty my bedding!”
