Chapter 718: Chapter 711 Completely Considering Him (1)_1

"Brother Muli, are you angry with me for that woman?" How did the Gu Family manage to raise such an outrageous daughter like Gu Lili? She was utterly oblivious to reading the room. Xiao Muli was radiating a murderous aura all over, and yet, there she was, still trying to play the victim in front of him.

The display stirred deep scorn within Miss Mao, who had suffered under Gu Lili’s hands since childhood. She was curious to see just how capable Gu Lili would be in surviving under Situ Xin’s clutches, oh, no, not just Situ Xin, but as it appeared now, Xiao Muli would not let her off easily either.

"Heh, Xiao Muli, you really have the nerve, as well as quite the good fortune with women. Are you thinking of embracing beauties from both sides? But you, you had better open your eyes wide. Our Leader—someone you can simply toy with? Hmph, once I figure out the truth, and if you’ve indeed wronged our Leader, see if we don’t level the Xiao Family to the ground. We won’t let the Gu Family off easily either," Xing spat out in anger, laying bare her threats. However, these words from Xing might seem like a threat, but to the members of The Dark Division witnessing the scene, it was a sure sign of impending doom for the Gu Family.

"And who are you? Don’t you worry about biting your tongue with such talk? Level the Xiao Family to the ground? Make an example of our Gu Family? Take a look in the mirror before you spout such wishful thinking," Gu Lili retorted without sensing the imminent danger closing in on her, jumping straight into the fray after hearing Xing’s words.

"Then I will just have to show you whether we have that capacity or not," Xing said, her gaze filled with mockery as she looked at Gu Lili before falling silent, now plotting in her mind how to deal with the Gu Family.

Meanwhile, Situ Muli, who had always stood in opposition to Xiao Muli, now gave him a chilling glance and said, composedly, "I will discuss this matter with the two elderly Sirs and the Old Madam upon my return. You’d better watch yourself."

Seeing that Situ Xin had successfully departed, Situ Muli retracted her aggressive stance and said to the other members of The Dark Division, "Let’s go."

The members of The Dark Division, knowing they still had to regroup with the Leader, did not linger. They nodded to Situ Muli, and with swift movements, vanished from everyone’s sight within a few rapid maneuvers.

Xiao Muli, watching the retreating figures of Situ Muli and the others, felt his rage morph into a red-hot intensity. Xiao Muli’s assistant, sensing something was off with his boss, quickly approached and asked with concern, "BOSS, are you alright?"

However, Xiao Muli didn’t hear his assistant’s words at all. He was utterly consumed by his fixation; the only thing seared into his memory was Situ Xin’s decisive departure, which left a gaping void in his heart. He felt that Situ Xin was truly leaving him, abandoning him for good this time.

What Situ Xin meant to Xiao Muli was beyond anyone’s imagination, something so significant that even Situ Xin herself was unaware of it.

Her departure made Xiao Muli feel as if he had genuinely lost her. And with the loss of Situ Xin, Xiao Muli felt his heart hollowed out by a vast expanse. It was a burden too heavy for Xiao Muli to bear.

"Brother Muli." Gu Lili still wanted to come forward and act coy with Xiao Muli. However, no sooner had she begun to speak when the rest of her words were choked off by fear.

With a turn, Xiao Muli gazed darkly at Gu Lili, his ominous eyes making her feel like a lifeless corpse in his sight.

The murderous aura emanating from Xiao Muli terrified everyone around. It was a genuine intent to kill – not just mere malevolence – as at that moment, Xiao Muli had harbored a murderous desire towards those who made him lose Situ Xin and all the dear ones in his heart. They were all petrified.

No one saw how Xiao Muli moved, but by the time they could see him again, he was already standing in front of Gu Lili, his hand fiercely clutching her neck.

At this time, Xiao Muli exhibited not the slightest bit of mercy. His hand tightened around Gu Lili’s neck, lifting her off the ground. Gu Lili’s hands clawed at Xiao Muli’s, trying to pry off the grip on her neck, but how could she, a frail woman, match the strength of Xiao Muli? Her complexion began to change as she struggled for air and begged, "Help, save me. Let go, release me."

This sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard. Even Miss Mao, who had been looking forward to the drama, was shocked by Xiao Muli’s action. This was no bluff; he was seriously intent on taking Gu Lili’s life.

The first to react were Patriarch Gu and Patriarch Gu’s Wife. Seeing their beloved daughter nearly suffocating under Xiao Muli’s grip turned their faces pale with panic. Madam Mao, disregarding the elegance of her dress, rushed to her daughter Gu Lili’s side, reaching out to pull Xiao Muli’s hand from her daughter’s neck. "Family Head Xiao, please let go. If you continue, Lili will lose her life."

"So what if she loses her life," Xiao Muli’s tone was as cold as if it came from hell itself, "if she had the audacity to drive away my Baby, then she must bear the appropriate lesson."

"Family Head Xiao, let’s talk this over calmly. If it’s because Lili upset Miss Situ, then later Lili can go and explain everything to Miss Situ herself," Patriarch Gu chimed in, trying to mediate. Although he hoped Xiao Muli would not go to such extremes in public, the sight of Xiao Muli resembling a king of hell filled him with a tinge of fear that Xiao Muli might truly strike without heed to consequences.

"Explain? It’s too late," Xiao Muli said as the image of Situ Xin decisively leaving him behind flashed before his eyes; his grip tightened, causing Gu Lili to utter a cry of agony.

Madam Mao was wracked with heartache, and Patriarch Gu felt his heart sink to the abyss.

Xiao Muli’s assistant, seeing his boss in such a state, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to step forward and urge his boss to calm down. If a life was lost in public, even the vast shadowy forces behind the Xiao Family and their status as leaders among the aristocratic families might not be able to ensure the incident was cleanly resolved without any fallout or lingering troubles.
