Chapter 78: He’s the only child who survived that tragedy at that time (part 2 of 4)

Cheng Qi suddenly stopped playing with the Rubik’s cube in his hand at this time, and fixedly looked towards the location of the mourning hall, then uttered out of the blue: “Dad?”

The still arguing people fell silent in an instant. The crowd of onlookers even felt a burst of chill, as if there was an inexplicable breath surrounding them. Even though they wanted to convince themselves that the child was just talk nonsense. But why is there the feeling of an unremitting ice-cold chill at this time?

To start with, Gu Wuji had noticed that there was a lot of ghosts inside this hall, but this was also a very normal phenomenon. So, unless there was a malicious spirit, he would simply treat this matter with indifference.

The incredibly frightened woman spoke up at once, “What are you talking about? Didn’t I tell you not to say this kind of nonsense outside-……”

The woman had yet to finish her words, when she suddenly lost her balance. Had she not been kindly pulled by the person next to her, then she would have directly fallen down onto the floor.

But those escort bodyguards suddenly went crazy without warning, and directly aimed their attack to the very nearby Cheng Qing.

This scene completely shocked everyone, as they turned to look at the middle-aged man with astonishment. Although they knew that this middle-aged man definitely came here bearing malicious intentions, but they never expected him to directly attack the heir of the Cheng family in such broad daylight. This move was really too audacious!

The middle-aged man was also taken aback. His intention for bringing in this mother and son was truly for the purpose of reaping some benefits for himself from the chaos in the Cheng family. But he never thought of doing things like what’s happening now, “What are you doing? Stop this instant–”

A bodyguard punched him in the face, causing the middle-aged man to retreat several steps back, while placing a hand on his injury in a daze.

More importantly, the fist of another bodyguard was about to hit Cheng Qing’s face, but it was too late for the nearest bodyguard to rush over. If this continues, they could already foresee the disgraced appearance of the always composed Cheng family’s heir in broad daylight!

But at this critical juncture, a hand suddenly blocked that fist. Which then took the opportunity to directly suppress this bodyguard on the ground.

Everyone’s sight fell to the owner of that hand, — Seeing Gu Wuji’s face, made their gazes full of incredulity. Such efficient skill, and swift response…… is actually from some third-rate star? Everyone, who witnessed this, would think he was actually a professional bodyguard!

The several remaining bodyguards were also dealt with Gu Wuji in succession, and were subsequently incapacitated on the ground. This course of event was so fast that it was like watching a video at 2.5x speed. That everything had already ended before anyone could react.

At this moment, everyone felt that they finally understood why Gu Wuji could enter and leave the Cheng household so openly, and why he was so close to Cheng Jia…… It seems that being an actor was a disguise. The actual identity of this person was actually Cheng Jia’s bodyguard!

As a matter of fact, Gu Wuji wasn’t happy at all. After all, he had to use brute force and reaction speed, that was far beyond the capacity of an ordinary person from the beginning, to deal with this matter. Maybe he should take a look at the system to see if there were any crash course materials in the field of martial arts, up for purchase.

Cheng Qing looked at Gu Wuji with astonishment, and was just about to express his gratitude, but Gu Wuji didn’t even spare him a glance, but hurriedly walked towards that mother and son.

The woman recognized that this person before her, was the person who had helped her before, but she still took a step back with a bit of timidity. Cheng Qi, on the other hand, walked straight to Gu Wuji, without seemingly noticing the current circumstances, then lightly grasped the other’s sleeve.

“I don’t know what you’ve encountered.” Gu Wuji softly said to her: “But if there’s something, you can come and find me.” Saying so, he took out a paper talisman with his contact details written on it and proffered it to the other, then turned to look at Cheng Qi, who was next to him, “After all, this child may eventually bring you a very great burden. If you continue to be in contact with each other, something ominous is bound to happen.”

The startled woman perplexedly asked: “What-, what will happen?”

Gu Wuji shook his head, “I don’t know. However, I just can’t sit back and watch, that’s all.”

The woman gritted her teeth, then safely kept the talisman in her bag. She subconsciously felt that this good-looking young man before her was a good person, in addition to being very trustworthy. But the current situation still made her unable to speak out the actual truth to this person.

Gu Wuji had already done all he could do, so he calmly turned around to head back. But when he had turned around, Cheng Qi chased after him with tiny steps.

“Big brother.”

“What’s the matter?” Gu Wuji turned to face him, with a very patient tone.

“This-, take a look at this.” He reached out, showing the Rubik’s Cube in his hand that had already been restored to it’s original appearance. Those dark eyes looking at Gu Wuji seems to contain a bit of expectation as well.

Gu Wuji stroked his head, “You did very well.”

Cheng Qi became a bit stunned, as if he didn’t know how to react to this. He eventually lowered his head. His pale cheeks also seemed to turn slightly red.

“You should continue keeping this Rubik’s cube.” Gu Wuji pressed the Rubik’s cube on the palm of the other’s hand, “If something happens, you should go ahead and break it.”

Cheng Qi didn’t quite understand the reason, but still nodded in the end.

The woman came over in panic, and pulled Cheng Qi to her side. Gu Wuji, who didn’t bear the slightest bit of dissatisfaction towards her vigilant attitude, just smiled and continued walking away.

At this moment, the gazes that the other people looked at him had become completely different from before. There weren’t any traces of contempt hidden in their gazes anymore; on the contrary, their gazes now contain a look of slight admiration…… To such a skillful bodyguard, even they felt an urge to lure him into their side.
