280: The bond of affection

The original owner's eyes were red; she hadn't expected that she couldn't summon her pet beast at all, only thinking it was because her body had been previously occupied.

But—all the abilities and glory of controlling pet beasts should have been hers!

The younger brother, pushed away by the original owner, got up from the ground in a rage, pulled out a folding dagger from his waist, and was about to stab her!

"Stop!"

Mu Qingning shouted and was about to rush over, but she was stopped by two younger brothers closest to her.

Gu Yu, however, broke free from all restraints and rushed to the original owner's side to block an attack for her.

Fortunately, it was just a graze, nothing serious.

"Boss, look—"

The younger brother next to Zhang Guang narrowed his eyes, revealing killing intent.

"It was indeed wise to set up the restriction in advance!"

Zhang Guang curled his lips, revealing a look of disdain.

The original owner finally breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't her problem, it was because of the restriction around them!

She helped up the injured Gu Yu and glared at everyone who came to collect debts.

"Don't think a restriction can do anything to me!"

Her shout quieted the somewhat chaotic scene again.

Everyone focused their gaze on her, wondering what other tricks she could pull.

If Gu Xiaoyue controlled this body, she would really beat them all down, but the original owner had no idea how to share pet beast skills.

Now she only had physical enhancement, just a bit of strength!

And her strength wasn't even used in the right place.

The original owner reached out to try to use the sharing skill but failed, and another burst of laughter erupted around her.

"Your acting is good! You really scared me, you scared me to death!"

"Me too, my little heart was practically thumping out! Hahaha!"

The original owner's face turned red and then pale, and she looked up to meet Gu Yu and Mu Qingning's worried yet questioning gazes.

"I, I—"

"It's okay, what they're doing is illegal, they can't do anything to us!"

Gu Yu clasped the original owner's hand, glaring at the debt collectors in front of them.

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, looked at the father and daughter in front of him, then looked back at Mu Qingning, and then covered his stomach and laughed heartily, almost bending over with laughter.

Zhang Guang also lowered his head slightly, chuckling for a while, his expression as if he had seen the biggest fool in the world.

"I was originally worried about that National Competition first place, but I think we should just kill her!

Didn't Gu Family's Second Master say that his grandniece's Yu Beast Space should have quite a few treasures!"

Liu Ping's squinting eyes showed a fierce glint as he laughed; he no longer hid it. In fact, they were sent by Gu Qi!

Gu Yu was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning!

He thought the Gu Corporation had encountered another difficulty, which was why Gu Qi asked him for help.

Gu Yu thought of guaranteeing eight hundred million for him, and even if Gu Qi couldn't pay it back, Mu Qingning still had some star coins, so they could get through this difficulty no matter what.

Only now did he realize that Gu Qi had once again used family ties to manipulate him, and the hidden boss behind these two loan companies was very likely Gu Qi!

And his own family's situation, including the methods used against Gu Xiaoyue, should all have been designed by Gu Qi.

Before, Xiao Yue always said that people from the Gu Family wanted to kill him and Mu Qingning, but he always thought it was a misunderstanding.

After all, Gu Yongze and Gu Qi would occasionally show concern for him. So it was all a facade and a trap?!

"Don't touch anyone else, come at me! They have nothing to do with me!

We were going to get a divorce today anyway, and this daughter already broke ties with the Gu Family!"

Gu Yu stood in front of the original owner. He regretted letting the wolf into the house, but he truly loved his daughter!

"Dad—"

The original owner tugged at Gu Yu's sleeve; she didn't know what to do either.

At this moment, even if she said she had ten billion star coins on her brain, these people would only think of killing her and taking the treasure!

"Ding—Host, aren't you going to make a move?"

The System couldn't help but ask Gu Xiaoyue, who showed no reaction.

She had said before that she would be the original owner's second personality and would step in to solve problems when they arose.

"This scene of a loving father and filial child is quite good, I haven't seen enough yet."

Gu Xiaoyue answered indifferently. You don't know pain until the knife pierces the flesh. Her earnest persuasion had instead become Gu Yu's bargaining chip for pushing his luck.

Let it all be destroyed, she was tired!

Besides, the original owner could still hold on now, she hadn't fainted, and she couldn't get control of the body herself.

"Come at you? You're also a half-baked Beastmaster now, only thinking about re-training pet beasts in your forties, tsk tsk tsk!

The backyard of this house is also a training ground, what a pity!"

Liu Ping glanced at the empty space outside the window, sneered again, and then gave a look to his subordinates, telling them to kill Gu Yu's family.

One of the red-haired men seemed to have received a great assignment, sneering as he raised his dagger and approached Gu Yu.

As if afraid Gu Yu would run away, several people held him down, unmoved no matter how the original owner and Mu Qingning shouted.

Gu Yu, however, looked as if he was ready to die. "Let them go, you can do anything to me!"

"Meat on the chopping block is still bargaining! I think we should deal with her first—"

The red-haired man glanced at Gu Yu and aimed the dagger at the original owner, stabbing her!

At this moment, Gu Yu seemed to unlock superhuman abilities, instantly breaking free from the people holding him down, and he lunged in front of the original owner, blocking the attack for her again.

Although Gu Yu was stabbed in the back, protecting the original owner well, the spurting blood also splattered onto the original owner.

The original owner's eyes widened, watching Gu Yu, who was holding her with the dagger still in his back, slide down in front of her—

At this moment, she burst forth with immense Mental Power, which resonated with Gu Yu's love for them, and even the ruins in her Yu Beast Space trembled!

Gu Xiaoyue was also shocked by this Mental Power, because she was an orphan from a young age and had few family ties.

In the apocalypse, interpersonal relationships were even more indifferent, mostly based on mutual exploitation.

Now, looking at Gu Yu and the original owner, it was indeed true that blood is thicker than water; Gu Yu's self-sacrificing protection ignited her potential!

But in the next second, the original owner's extraordinary Mental Power was absorbed by the ruins, and she collapsed beside Gu Yu.

"What are you still standing there for? Do it!"

The man in casual clothes urged impatiently when he saw his subordinates hadn't continued to attack them.

The subordinates responded and immediately prepared to pull out their daggers and stab Gu Xiaoyue again.

His hand had just touched the dagger in Gu Yu's back when it was grabbed by a hand like an iron clamp.

"Stinking girl, let go of me!"

The red-haired man looked up and saw that it was Gu Xiaoyue who had grabbed his wrist, and he instinctively cursed out loud.

But when he met Gu Xiaoyue's cold eyes, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This stinking girl, why does she feel like a different person!

Gu Xiaoyue exerted a little force, and the red-haired man's hand bone was broken by her, making him howl in pain.

The other subordinates looked at each other; the sudden change in the girl's aura made them feel as if the air around them had dropped by several degrees.

"I really don't want you to dirty my house, but time is short—"

Gu Xiaoyue's thin lips parted slightly. Before Liu Ping could even open his mouth to mock, she gently waved her hand, and several invisible Wind Blades flew out, instantly slitting his and several subordinates' throats.

Zhang Guang had just shown a look of surprise when he also felt a chill at his neck.

He reached up to cover his throat, but couldn't stop the gushing blood. He couldn't stand steadily, knelt down, twitched twice, and then fell to the ground, unmoving.

The situation reversed instantly, and the surviving subordinates screamed and rushed towards the door—

How could Gu Xiaoyue let them go? She threw out two Earth Shields to block their path.

Then she raised her hand and sent out several Wind Blades and Water Blades. In just over ten seconds, all the debt collectors had become corpses.

Although Gu Xiaoyue didn't like to torture and kill, if she hadn't been in a hurry, she wouldn't have let them die so painlessly.

They were nothing more than Gu Qi's thugs; in the end, it was Gu Qi who came for her!

She should have left one alive to interrogate further, she scoffed inwardly, but unfortunately, she hadn't held back!

"Madam Gu, call an ambulance!"

Gu Xiaoyue formed a water ball with one hand and pulled the dagger from Gu Yu's back with the other, performing Water Therapy on him.

Mu Qingning was frightened by her sharp killing aura and trembled as she dialed the ambulance center, not even noticing that she called her "Madam Gu."

"Xiao, Xiao Yue, what—what do we do?"

She looked at the bodies on the ground, her fingertips icy cold, her face filled with helplessness.

Gu Xiaoyue took off her blood-splattered coat and walked out the door.

She walked around the house and saw three restriction devices, each about the size of a small safe.
