Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Rebuffed by Gu Zhao’s silence, Liu Zhixi’s expression turned ugly. She said again, “Sir, I’m the eldest daughter of the Liu family in City A. How dare you treat me like this? I’ve never met you in City A. I’m giving you face by talking to you. You——”

“Shut up.” Gu Zhao rebuked her coldly.

After Liu Zhixi was rejected again, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she also felt that Gu Zhao was very masculine. A hint of determination flashed across her eyes as she said, “Unless you tell me which family’s young master you are, I won’t shut up.”

Gu Zhao opened his eyes and looked at her.

She was shocked by the coldness in his eyes and could not help but take a step back.

Gu Zhao’s eyes flashed with ridicule. “I’m not some young master. I’m just a bodyguard.”

A look of disbelief flashed across Liu Zhixi’s eyes. Then her face darkened and she said angrily, “You’re just a lousy bodyguard. Why are you pretending to be somebody? I think you just want to marry into the Liu family. Let me tell you, that’s impossible. I’m not someone a lowly person like you can covet.”

Su Shanshan was just about to unlock the passcode when she noticed the situation. Her face darkened. She had long treated Gu Zhao as family and would not allow others to trample on him.

She stood in front of Gu Zhao, and an ice blade materialized in her hand. She pressed it against Liu Zhixi’s neck. Before Liu Zhixi could finish cursing, she was silenced, and fear filled her eyes.

Su Shanshan said coldly, “Apologize if you don’t want to die.”

Gu Zhao was about to make a move but he paused and slowly put his hand away. He looked at Su Shanshan’s back. She was clearly a petite person, but she always carried a streak of energy, like a ray of light that shot into his heart.

He did not take Liu Zhixi’s words to heart, but now he suddenly felt inferior. “Yes, I’m just a lowly bodyguard. How can I be worthy of such a good person like Su Shanshan?” he thought.

The feelings that he had been suppressing in his heart exploded in an instant. He no longer controlled it like before. Instead, he allowed it to fill his entire body. A bittersweet feeling with a sour tinge.

Something had changed irrevocably…

Liu Zhixi snapped back to her senses and shouted at Cao Yunjin, “Hurry up and save me, useless trash!”

Cao Yunjin and the others did not look too good, but they still walked over to her.

Cao Yunjin bowed again and said, “Miss, Sir, I’m really sorry. Please let her off.”

“I told you to kill them! How dare they do this to me! Quickly, attack!”

Liu Zhixi was still shouting. Su Shanshan said, “The Liu family had been destroyed by the zombies. No one in the family survived. Are you sure you still want to follow her?”

Cao Yunjin turned pale with fright and asked, “Is that true? How did you know?”

Su Shanshan immediately gave Gu Zhao away and said, “He is a member of the Gu family. Do you think this matter is fake?”

City A’s Gu family…

In their eyes, that family had god-like status. They were once again glad that they did not get into a scuffle with her. They looked at Liu Zhixi, who was scared silly. They looked at each other and returned to their original positions. It was obvious that they had drawn the line between themselves and her.

Liu Zhixi kept shaking her head, saying that this was impossible. Su Shanshan moved her fingers and the ice blade on her neck sank a little. Liu Zhixi, who felt a jolt of pain, said suddenly, “You’re lying to me, right? How could our Liu family be exterminated? Impossible. You’re lying to me.”

Su Shanshan did not waste time talking to her. She said directly, “You can go and find out for yourself about your Liu family. But if you don’t apologize now, I’m going to send you straight to meet them.”

Only then did Liu Zhixi realize that she was afraid. She glanced at Cao Yunjin and the rest, but the hatred they had accumulated along the way was no less than Su Shanshan’s. They would not care about her cries for help.

A trace of hatred flashed across Liu Zhixi’s eyes. She lowered her head and said quickly, “I’m sorry.”

“Who are you saying sorry to?” Su Shanshan prompted.
