The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 108 - Dare to Detain My Woman?! 4

The bodyguard immediately stepped aside, not daring to utter another word.

“Chief Zhang, I’ll cut you some slack. As long as these two never show their faces in this country again, I won’t pursue this further,” Li Juefeng said, meticulously wiping his hands. His gaze, however, remained fixed on Gu Xiaoai.

There was a bloodthirsty chill in his eyes-cold, commanding, and enough to make anyone shiver.

“Y-yes, I guarantee it,” Chief Zhang stammered, shuffling his hefty frame over to his desk to retrieve a stack of documents. “Mr. Li, these are the files left behind by Yu Qun. He’s the personal assistant to Chu Shixiu, the only heir of the Chu Family. This time, he’s really overstepped his bounds. If there’s anything you need, just say the word, and I’ll do whatever it takes.”

“Just make sure you see nothing and hear nothing when the time comes,” Li Juefeng replied coldly.

“Yes, yes, I understand completely,” Chief Zhang said obsequiously, nodding so vigorously it looked like his head might fall off. Beads of sweat rolled down his face in large drops.

What a mess he’d gotten himself into.

He’d somehow managed to entangle both Li Juefeng and the Chu Family’s heir. Either one of them had enough clout to jeopardize his position as Chief.

And between the two, it was clear who held the upper hand. With Li Juefeng’s background… it seemed the Chu Family was in for a rough time.

Li Juefeng’s eyes glinted with icy disdain. He didn’t bother taking the files. Instead, he strode forward and scooped Gu Xiaoai into his arms, carrying her out of the room.

She had no chance to resist. In full view of everyone, she was carried away like this…

For some reason, Gu Xiaoai suddenly felt a wave of anxiety and couldn’t help but glance back.

She saw one of the bodyguards take the files from Chief Zhang’s hands. Then, without a word, he pulled a small handgun from his waistband and fired two shots at the legs of the two unconscious on-duty policemen.

“Bang-bang-”

“Ahhh-!”

The two officers howled in agony.

Gu Xiaoai shut her eyes in fear, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Li Juefeng’s embrace was warm, yet at this moment, it sent a chill through her entire being.

“Relax. At most, they’ll be crippled. They won’t die,” Li Juefeng said coolly, noticing her trembling.

As she looked at his strikingly handsome yet dangerously alluring profile, Gu Xiaoai felt a deep unease. Just how ruthless was this man?

Would he go after Yu Qun next?

And if he did… what about Chu Shixiu?

The thought made her shudder. Cradled in his arms, she couldn’t stop herself from trembling again.

Li Juefeng… was far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.
