Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 248. The Femme Fatale
In order to save their own lives, these people tried every means possible, and betraying the Gu family's position was their first choice.

And so, their position in the carriage was exposed.

"Men in black, stop chasing me! That's the oxcart of the third son of the Gu family. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Don't come after the wrong person."

Bai Suihe pouted, thinking, "There are always spineless cowards like this everywhere."

But you can't say the other party is wrong. Why should someone else take the blame for Gu Jia?
"Don't worry," Gu Kaiyuan quickly reassured Bai Suihe, fearing she might be nervous. "Lin Hua and the others are protecting us outside, along with two other security escort agencies. It won't be easy for them to break through to our side."

Bai Suihe: "I'm not in a hurry or nervous. I'm just curious about how things are going with the Gu family."

Even at this point, Bai Suihe still had such a strong sense of curiosity, which left Gu Kaiyuan speechless. "You're concerned about them?"

Bai Suihe: "Yes, we must care about them. We still need them to live a free life."

Are you sure they'll be safe and sound this time?

Gu Kaiyuan couldn't make any guarantees because he no longer had a foolish son like himself to rush to their aid and shield them from harm.

Outside the carriage, Yunni and his men stood guard around the area, while the two escort agencies stood ready. They thought that with such a large entourage, no one would dare to rush over, but the shouts of those passersby actually attracted the men in black.

Since they were already there, there was nothing more to say, and the two sides immediately started fighting.

Bai Suihe and the others heard the fighting outside and peeked out from behind the curtain. These men in black had only one goal: to rush towards their carriage.

Bai Suihe frowned. "Are we just being used as a shield for others?"

Gu Kaiyuan understood immediately and helped Bai Suihe up. "It seems we can't continue hiding here."

Bai Suihe stood up with his help, and Gu Kaiyuan began to call to Lin Hua outside, "Lin Hua, open the curtain, let's go out."

They were guarded from all sides, with Lin Hua and Lin Wei standing guard at the front of the carriage.

Lin Hua lifted a corner of the curtain. "Young Master, we're here outside."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "If we continue to hide inside, it will only attract more men in black. We need to go out and let them know that we are not their target."

"These people are despicable," Lin Hua realized, and quickly lifted the curtain and arranged the benches for getting out of the car. Dongmei and Chunxiang, who were sitting to the side, quickly came over to help him.

Gu Kaiyuan waved them away, preventing them from getting closer, and then opened the curtain, revealing everything inside the carriage.

"Gentlemen, we have no past grievances or recent grudges, so why are you coming after us?"

Upon seeing a young man and a beautiful young woman, the man in black was momentarily stunned. Then, turning to Bai Suihe's prominent belly, he realized that she was not their target.

When Yunni saw the couple come out, he had already told his brothers to keep Gu Kaiyuan and the others firmly protected inside.

"Is this the Gu family's carriage?"

"My surname is Gu, that's right. May I ask who you are looking for?"

"They told me that this is Lord Gu's carriage, and asked me to ask Lord Gu to come out so we could find him."

Bai Suihe's guess came true, but it's unclear who was behind it all.

“We don’t have a Lord Gu here,” Bai Suihe said, pulling Gu Kaiyuan aside so that they could see the carriage behind them. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

The man in black, realizing he'd been tricked, glanced at Bai Suihe and his wife, who were being protected, and shouted, "Retreat!"

He blew something, and the men in black who had been fighting desperately immediately stopped and left without a second thought. "What a clever way to shift the blame," Gu Kaiyuan thought, amused and exasperated. He refused to believe that the Gu family wasn't behind this.

Bai Suihe said, "It seems we've been too easy to talk to, and they think they can do whatever they want."

I originally wanted to quietly wait for the decree of pardon, but some people were restless.

Liu Pingkang, who had injured his arm this time, came over immediately after seeing the group leave, asking, "Whose side have you offended this time?"

Hearing this accusatory tone, Gu Kaiyuan could only smile wryly and say, "I don't know either. It's just that when they saw that there were only the two of us in the carriage, they knew they had made a mistake and left."

"..." Liu Pingkang, who was originally full of anger, was both angry and sympathetic. "You guys have really had a hard time."

These men in black came on strong and didn't care about the lives of others. He didn't know how many people were injured or killed, and he still had to clean up the mess.

Since the authorities weren't concerned about this matter, he could only try to report it to the local government. He had finally managed to travel quickly, but now he was going to be delayed again.

He sent his men on horseback to report to the authorities as quickly as possible, while the rest of the men quickly counted the number of people.

Smelling the bloody stench in the air, Bai Suihe felt uncomfortable and covered her nose. "These people are here to kill us, don't they want money?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "These are probably Gu Baijiang's real enemies."

Bai Suihe: "...What heinous thing did he, a civil official, do?"

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at her. "The intercepted military funds have harmed countless families and caused many military officers to be convicted and lose their lives. Just for this reason alone, he has many enemies."

Bai Suihe, "..."

Gu Kaiyuan led the person back to the carriage, then said he had other things to take care of and left in a hurry.

Bai Suihe knew that this petty man was probably seeking revenge and wanted to use their lives as a cover-up, so she had to be prepared for all sorts of things.

As Gu Kaiyuan walked along, he found many people crying bitterly, because this robbery had cost their families their lives.

The closer they got to the Gu family, the fewer people were killed or injured. Chen Dafu's entire family only had one son and one grandson who suffered minor injuries.

"Gu Kaiyuan, are you here to see your father?" Chen Dafu saw Gu Kaiyuan and, without even looking at his injured grandson, quickly walked to the front.

"Lord Chen," since they had already run into each other, Gu Kaiyuan casually asked, "Were your family members also injured?"

"Hey, those damned men in black, they just started hacking and slashing as soon as they came up. Now, two of our boys are injured."

Do you have any wound medicine?

Gu Kaiyuan knew Chen Dafu's personality; this man was trying to take advantage of him. "This shouldn't be, Lord Chen. I remember you bought a lot of medicine at the post station, including quite a few wound medicines."

When Chen Dafu bought the medicine, he didn't remember Gu Kaiyuan being around, and the other party didn't stay at the post station at all, but stayed at the inn.

"You're joking, kid. How could our family possibly stockpile so much medicine?"
Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing. I have some important information to exchange with you.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I am not very curious, so I won't trouble Lord Chen."

"This is about your father, are you sure you don't want to listen?" Chen Dafu was not one to give up easily.
