Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



At this moment, Huo Yuzhou realized that all his bodyguards were gone. He turned around and saw that everyone had fallen unconscious.

Gu Zheng subconsciously shouted, "Xi Xi!"

Then, everyone saw the doctor holding Qiao Xi hostage as he walked out of the cabin. "The two of you don't have to be nervous. The head of the family just wants to invite Miss Qiao as a guest. He won't hurt her. We only want Miss Qiao. After we leave, we'll give you the antidote."

Song Shijing realized that something was wrong and came to the ship from the other side. There was a trace of panic in his eyes. "President, there are many people on the other side, and they're all armed. Mr. Huo's people are all unconscious. We…"

Huo Yuzhou's expression darkened. He actually had the patriarch's men by his side. He brought Qiao Xi to the sea to avoid the Brook family's spies. Unexpectedly…

This doctor was not on the ship in the beginning. He was sent by Guan Hui. Only then did Huo Yuzhou realize that Guan Hui had informed the head of the family and colluded with him to scheme against him!

"Miss Qiao, let's go." The doctor looked up at her. "You can ignore others, but you should think about Mr. Gu! If you insist on resisting, the head of the family won't mind killing them all!"

The moment that was said, everyone's expressions turned cold.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at the four boats. If they really fought, Gu Zheng would have no chance of winning. How could she watch Gu Zheng die?

The head of the Brook family was vicious. He would not allow Gu Zheng to ruin his plan just because he admired him. For now, she could only leave first and find a chance to escape in the future.

Qiao Xi turned around and walked toward the ship. The doctor smiled proudly and reached out to help her.

The next second, the doctor was kicked away. Gu Zheng's figure rushed in front of Qiao Xi like a cheetah, and the wind made a violent sound.

The man's cold breath surged over as he hugged her tightly. His light brown eyes were filled with complicated emotions. His low voice sounded in her ear. "I'll bring you away."

At that instant, Qiao Xi seemed to see the light emitted from his body. The pain from so many days instantly dissipated. She knew that this man loved her very much, even more than his life.

Hot tears trickled down her face. His rough fingers brushed past her smooth and fair cheeks as he gently wiped her tears. Her heart, which had been calm for many days, thumped violently. His cold aura surrounded her, and at this moment, her heart found a safe haven.

"Don't cry, I won't let them take you away."

Gu Zheng's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were cold but filled with heartache.

The doctor almost fell and was instantly infuriated. "Gu Zheng! Don't think that you can disobey the old master just because he admires you! If you dare to stop me from taking Qiao Xi away, then I can only kill you!"

Qiao Xi's body trembled as she hugged Gu Zheng tightly.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Zheng shielded her behind him. "I came here today to take you away. I have to do it even if it takes my last breath. I won't go back on my word."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the ship raised their guns one after another. Dozens of guns were aimed at them. With a single order, the couple would die on the spot.

Huo Yuzhou looked at the scene in front of him with a dark expression.

The doctor glanced at Qiao Xi disdainfully. "Miss Qiao, I'll give you five minutes to consider. If you're still unwilling to come with us after five minutes, then don't blame me for being heartless!"

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. His hair fell and danced with the sea breeze, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Before Qiao Xi could say anything, Huo Yuzhou boarded one of the ships. As the heir of the Brook family, his power was second only to the head of the family. No one dared to stop him when they saw him board the ship.

Gu Zheng pulled Qiao Xi into his arms and gently stroked her back. His voice was low and hoarse. "Don't be afraid, Xi Xi. I'll bring you away."

| "Gu Zheng!"

At this moment, a voice came from the ship. A young man walked out, and his voice was filled with threat. "What right do you have to take her away? Are you willing to throw your life away for a woman?"

Gu Zheng's and Huo Yuzhou's expressions darkened when they saw this man. However, the man ordered indifferently, "Gu Zheng, as the head of the family, I order you to let go immediately. Otherwise, bear the consequences!"

Qiao Xi's heart trembled. He was the patriarch of the Brook family?

Although she had never seen the head of the Brook family, she knew that he was definitely an old man in his 60s or 70s. The young man in front of her looked to be only 30 years old, so he should be the new head of the family.
