Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 940 Gu Nan starts fighting

Gu Nan looked at Cunning Rabbit and Zhang Du across from him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he tried to keep his tone calm. "I'll give you money, double, no, triple. All you want is profit. There's no need to fight to the death. It won't benefit you if you damage the relationship."

The cunning rabbit grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, but his eyes were as cold as ice. "Excuse me, the man who hired us has a life-long friendship with me. If he wants you dead, then you have to die. No amount of money will help. Friendship is something that cannot be measured by money."

Gu Nan raised his eyebrows, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the temperature in his eyes dropped instantly: "Really? But I never accept my fate. Besides, the current situation seems to be that you are in the open and I am in the dark, right? If we really fight, it is not certain who will win or lose."

At first, he'd wanted to leave some wiggle room, not wanting to bring things to a head unless absolutely necessary. But Cunning Rabbit's words, "Ran Qiuye and the child are in our hands," were like a poisoned needle, piercing his soft spot. If someone dared to threaten his family's lives, then there was no need to hold back in this fight.

Gu Nan slowly pulled a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put them on with measured demeanor. As he tightened his fingertips, the gloves clung to his skin so tightly that even the curvature of his knuckles was clearly visible. This way, he wouldn't leave fingerprints when he started working, and it would also save Uncle Tong Ren from unnecessary trouble during the subsequent investigation.

Don't be fooled by his usual neat attire, pretending to be an ordinary office worker. He has quite a few weapons hidden on him. The short blade in his waist pocket is sharp enough to cut through iron, the throwing knives in his boots are tempered with anesthetic, and there is also a loaded pistol at his waist. Since the other party wants to play hardball, there is no need for him to be polite.

Cunning Rabbit obviously saw through Gu Nan's intention to get serious. His eyes darkened, and he turned to Zhang Du beside him and whispered, "Be careful, this Gu Nan is not simple. He has a murderous aura and is not a pushover. Tell the brothers to pair up and cover each other. Take him down directly and don't give him any chance to play tricks."

Zhang Du fiddled with the poison arrow in her hand. The tip glowed a faint blue, evidently laced with a deadly poison that would kill instantly. She scoffed, her tone a bit nonchalant, "Are you going to leave anyone alive this time?"

At first, Cunning Rabbit had underestimated Gu Nan, thinking he was just an ordinary office worker who could be easily dealt with by a few of his men. But the confidence revealed in Gu Nan's words, and the skilled ruthlessness with which he donned the gloves, completely dispelled his contempt. He gritted his teeth and said harshly, "No need to keep him. Let's kill him right away this time to avoid any more trouble."

Zhang Du nodded, and with a flick of her wrist, the poison arrow was firmly placed on the specially made short crossbow, and the crossbow mechanism clicked softly. She was still thinking about finishing the job quickly; Xiao Bao was still waiting for her reply in the warehouse, so she couldn't delay the important work.

Almost immediately after Cunning Rabbit finished speaking, Gu Nan moved. He ducked down like a cheetah poised for action, the pistol already in his hand. With a bang, the bullet grazed Cunning Rabbit's ear and struck the iron frame behind him, sending up a shower of sparks. Hot iron chips landed on Cunning Rabbit's neck, burning him and causing him to wince.

"Attack!" Cunning Rabbit roared, and more than a dozen of his men who were lying in ambush around immediately rushed out from behind the container and beside the shelves. They opened fire with machetes, steel pipes, and several pistols in their hands. Bullets rained down in the direction of Gu Nan, whizzing through the air with a sharp sound.

Gu Nan, using the container as cover, darted around like a cat, dodging left and right. The pistol seemed to come alive in his hands, each time he raised his hand to fire, he was able to accurately suppress a point of fire. Although he deliberately avoided vital parts, focusing on the arms and thighs to leave some room for maneuver, he was outnumbered, and each one was desperate, blinded by the fire and reckless. The factory suddenly erupted in gunfire, the crisp sound of bullets piercing iron sheets, the screams of men, and the muffled thud of metal clashing intertwined into a chaotic chaos.

In the fierce battle, a bullet grazed Gu Nan's arm, sending a trail of blood, the warm liquid instantly soaking his sleeve. Another bullet struck his calf, a mere scratch, but it slowed his movements. But this injury didn't affect his rhythm at all; instead, it lit a fuse, igniting the ruthlessness in his bones, and his eyes became sharper than a knife.

In just a few minutes, five or six of his men were lying on the ground, wailing and writhing with their wounds. Two others were hit directly in the vitals and died without a single grunt. Seeing this, Cunning Rabbit's heart was bleeding. These were all skilled men he had paid a huge price to hire, who had followed him through thick and thin for years, and now they were gone. Even if he could kill Gu Nan in the end, he would still be seriously injured, and the loss would not outweigh the gain.

"Damn it!" Cunning Rabbit cursed fiercely, the veins on his forehead throbbing. He turned to look at Zhang Du, who hadn't made much of a move, and said sternly, "Alright, don't rest any longer, it's your turn to strike! Use your poison arrows, and make a quick decision. Don't give him a chance to breathe!"

Zhang Du's lips curled up into a cold smile: "Okay, then I will personally meet him."

After saying this, he unhooked the quiver from his waist, pulled out a poisoned arrow, grasped it in his hand, and walked downstairs with light steps. At this time, the subordinates of Cunning Rabbit had already scattered like birds and beasts, running faster than rabbits. The brothers who had just exchanged blows with Gu Nan were knocked to the ground in just a few moves. They knew clearly in their hearts that they were no match for Gu Nan with their limited skills, and staying would only make them get beaten.

Gu Nan leaned against the wall, taking a rare breath of relief. While the system had made dealing with these small fry relatively easy, he still found himself feeling a bit tired after the repeated battles. He knew that those he had just dealt with were just minor foes, and the true masters had yet to show up. This lull was only temporary.

Just as Gu Nan closed his eyes to rest, Zhang Du came over. He looked at Gu Nan who was resting in front of him. He saw that Gu Nan had a handsome face and a calm demeanor. He didn't expect that he was so handsome.

Zhang Du sneered, his tone a bit teasing: "You take a good rest, I'll wait here, no rush."

Gu Nan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes clear and bright, without any sign of slackness: "Wait until I recover, I will show no mercy."

Zhang Du raised an eyebrow, and the smile on his face became even more intense, but it was tinged with cruelty. "Oh? That does make sense. But there's a prerequisite—you have to be able to beat me. Otherwise, when I make a move, I'll really take your life."
