Chapter 412: Chapter 415 - Punishing the Bad Guy, My Favorite_1

Upon seeing the person in the private room, Gu Xiaorou was clearly taken aback.

"Gu Jiang?"

The man in the room was indeed Gu Jiang.

Gu Xiaorou turned her head to look at Carmen: "Second Brother, is this blind date you introduced to me Gu Jiang?"

Carmen smiled: "Yes. I felt that you two hit it off quite well during your last blind date."

Before Gu Xiaorou could speak, he continued: "I know, you might resent what happened at the Yang family twins’ birthday banquet. That was a misunderstanding between Gu Jiang and Miss Yang. He mistook her for deliberately trying to seduce him. At the time, you were the only one in his heart, so he was rather resentful of other women trying to get close to him. Although his behavior wasn’t polite, Yang Gang had humiliated him publicly. Moreover, after the incident, Gu Jiang did not resort to any underhanded methods against the Yang family, which shows his character is quite decent."

Gu Xiaorou let out a breath, and said indifferently: "Brother, I can agree to go on a blind date, and I can marry someone else, but I can’t possibly marry Gu Jiang."

Gu Jiang obviously didn’t expect Gu Xiaorou to refuse so decisively, and so he was somewhat unwilling to accept it: "Why?"

Gu Xiaorou quietly looked at him and said calmly: "Because Yang Gang won’t forgive you, so I won’t forgive you either."

"Yang Gang, it’s always Yang Gang." Carmen sighed, "Xiaorou, I think you should understand very clearly. Yang Gang will not love you. You’ve been by his side for so many years, if he loved you, he wouldn’t have waited until now to show it. I think, he’s just relying on you. Over the years, he has grown accustomed to having you by his side when he’s sad. But Xiaorou, reliance isn’t love."

Gu Xiaorou remained silent.

Carmen continued: "Yang Gang is like a willful child now. He doesn’t like you, but he also doesn’t want to let you go. To be honest, this is very selfish. Xiaorou, you have no reason to indulge him. You’ve already given him the best years of your life as a woman. Even if he saved you once, that favor has been repaid."

After hesitating, Carmen looked at Gu Xiaorou, and spoke again earnestly: "Xiaorou, you’re living your life for Yang Gang now. Do you want to spend the rest of your life like this? When will you start living for yourself?"

Gu Xiaorou hung her head slightly, not saying anything.

She was always wearing that pair of glasses made of special material. From the outside, it was impossible to see the changes in her eyes.

Carmen continued: "Arranging your date with Gu Jiang today wasn’t done on a whim. It was forced upon us. It’s also for your own good."

Gu Xiaorou was stunned: "What’s going on?"

Carmen sighed: "Our father’s health isn’t looking good."

Gu Xiaorou’s body trembled, her legs going weak.

That man, she had hated him because when her mother most needed protection, he didn’t stand up for her.

But she was also grateful to him. He brought her into this world, and although they didn’t see each other much when she was young, each memory of their meetings was filled with happiness.

After her mother died, he fell ill, perhaps as a form of penance.

If there was anyone left in the world that Gu Xiaorou cared about, it would be her father, whose health had been deteriorating for years.

Carmen continued: "After Aunt’s departure, Dad fell ill. Over the years, the eldest and the third brothers gradually took control of the family power, and dad’s authority was completely sidelined. Recently, dad’s health has rapidly deteriorated, and he has frequently fallen into a coma. He probably knows that he won’t live much longer, and these days he’s been calling your name, wanting to see you one last time before he passes away. But the eldest and third brothers are conspiring to use this to coerce you into marrying Meiao, the eldest son of the Grey family, one of the three most prestigious families. It’s their ambition to form an alliance between the two major families through marriage. If you disagree, they won’t let you see Dad. Also, Meiao is inherently cruel. If you do marry him, it would be a lifelong nightmare."

At this moment, Gu Jiang took over the conversation: "If you’re willing to marry me, Xiaorou, our family has the power to let you see your father."

Gu Xiaorou was silent, laughing bitterly: "It looks like I really don’t have any other choice."

"Xiaorou, if we get married now, it’s just for show for the older generation of our families, otherwise, they would never risk breaking off relations with one of the three prestigious families to help us. I won’t force you to accept me right now. I believe in the saying ’where there’s a will, there’s a way’. Sooner or later, you will open your heart to me." Gu Jiang said sincerely.

Gu Xiaorou was still silent.

Gu Jiang sighed. Although Gu Xiaorou didn’t flatly reject him like before, she also didn’t agree. She hadn’t taken off her glasses. Gu Jiang heard from Carmen that Gu Xiaorou wasn’t short-sighted. The glasses she wore were not prescription, but made from some special material and were plain glasses. Its purpose was unknown. It was said that Gu Xiaorou didn’t want others to see her gem-like blue eyes. She never wore those glasses when she was with Yang Gang. Only when she went out or met people she didn’t want to see would she put on her glasses.

In other words, in Gu Xiaorou’s heart, he was someone she didn’t want to see.

Just as the atmosphere in the private room grew quiet, Yang Gang, who had been secretly watching from outside, couldn’t bear it any longer.

"Damn it, although I can’t hear what you guys are saying, you’re clearly about to make my goddess cry. I won’t stand for this!"

Yang Gang immediately dialed Yang Feng’s number.

"Brother Feng, get me some explosive grenades and flashbangs." Yang Gang ordered directly.

Recently, under Yang Feng’s management, ’Love and World Peace’ had gradually stabilized in Hangcheng. The shipment of stealth materials had been successfully handed over to the military. Not only did this deal yield considerable profits, but it also established a good relationship with the military.

With the military’s tacit approval, Yang Feng had gained more courage and started smuggling some conventional weapons, mainly smuggling Huaxia’s arms into Central Asia and Africa.

Yang Feng on the other end of the phone was taken aback: "Young Master Yang, what are you planning to do?"

"I’m going to play a live-action version of CS. Stop talking nonsense and get it to me quickly." Yang Gang urged.

Yang Feng had no choice but to say: "I’m busy right now. I’ll have Gu Ran deliver it to you."

About ten minutes later, Gu Ran drove to the teahouse across the street.

"Yang Gang, what are you trying to do? If this is discovered, headlines will be written about me, a prestigious young lady from Yanjin police and military circles, smuggling arms in broad daylight." Gu Ran complained.

Yang Gang didn’t say a word. He found a high vantage point in the hotel across the teahouse and strapped the explosive grenades and flashbangs around his waist.

"Hey, Yang Gang, who are you planning to mess with?" Gu Ran asked.

"A bad guy."

"A bad guy?" Gu Ran chuckled, "I love righting wrongs. Can I help?"

Yang Gang thought for a moment, then asked weakly: "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. To be honest, I’ve been itching to use a bomb since I got back. As for punishing the wicked, it’s my favorite thing." Gu Ran seemed rather excited.
