An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Logically speaking, Gu Huaiwen should be considered a powerful and ruthless figure, so how could he be so shameless?

Going out to solicit prostitutes and then running up the bill, and more than once, what kind of nonsense is this?

Someone like this can afford eight bodyguards? That makes the Republic of China era way too easy to get by.

Although Jiang Baobin knew he had taken on a tough job, he did not expect it to be ten times more painful than he had anticipated.

Because they had no idea when Liu Ling'er would appear.

Gu Huaiwen refused to leave again.

Good heavens, it's over twenty degrees below zero, and the north wind is like a knife, cutting right into your bones!

He didn't dare go back to his room to rest, a fact he only realized after he started practicing martial arts.

No matter how skilled someone is, once they start fighting, it only takes a minute.

I hope Liu Ling'er doesn't show up as soon as I enter the house.

Since she chose this location for the assassination, she must have intended to defeat them one by one.

The noise can't be too loud.

Otherwise, it will cause a group battle. One against nine, unless you are a god, how can you win?

To be honest, Liu Ling'er is quite a simpleton. Why bother practicing kung fu? It's such a waste of effort.

If you learn to shoot, as long as your marksmanship is accurate, you can't be bothered by eight or even eighteen bodyguards.

One shot to the head!

While Jiang Baobin was internally complaining.

One of the guards standing at the door clutched his stomach and said:

"Old Wu, I can't hold it in anymore, stand there for a while."

Old Wu said, "Hold on a little longer, it'll be your shift change soon."

"No, no, I'm peeing in my pants!" the guy said as he ran outside.

Old Wu laughed and scolded, "A lazy donkey on a millstone produces a lot of excrement and piss."

The two guards outside also loudly mocked the impatient bodyguard.

However, a long time has passed, and shifts have changed, but the person with the stomach upset still hasn't returned.

Old Wu went out to look for it, cursing and swearing.

Jiang Baobin, however, perked up; something was definitely amiss!

Sure enough, a scream came from outside the gate not long after, followed by the sounds of fighting.

The two bodyguards at the door also heard it and drew their daggers and pistols respectively.

The two exchanged a glance, leaving one to remain on guard.

The other one ran quickly outside to help in the battle.

Jiang Baobin also moved towards his own doorway.

Because he had already heard that the fighting outside had ended.

Liu Ling'er was just waiting for this guy who had just gone out to die.

Jiang Baobin gently opened the gate.

Because the bodyguard was completely focused on watching outside the door, he didn't notice him at all.

Jiang Baobin simply held the dart in his hand, not in a hurry to go out.

Meanwhile, the singing continued inside the house, completely unaware of the life-or-death struggle that was raging outside.

Then, Jiang Baobin witnessed the most intense scene he had ever witnessed since he transmigrated.

Like a female leopard, Liu Ling'er pounced on the last bodyguard's gun barrel.

This girl was clearly desperate for revenge, completely disregarding her own life!

But Jiang Baobin couldn't let her die, otherwise how could he explain it to Liu Decai?

With a "whoosh," the golden dart was thrown and struck the bodyguard's right arm.

Almost simultaneously, two gunshots rang out: "Bang!"

Then came a scream of agony!

It turned out that Jiang Baobin's dart had struck the bodyguard's arm squarely.

This caused him to lose his aim.

Liu Ling'er, who arrived shortly after, kicked the gun away.

Then the short sword in his hand pierced his chest.

The force was so great that only the hilt of the sword was exposed.

"Ah—" The bodyguard screamed and fell to the ground.

At that moment, a gunshot rang out, accompanied by the bodyguard's scream.

The singing inside the room finally came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, Gao Junbao's loud cries of "Ah, ah!" came from the west wing, clearly indicating that he was frightened.

At this moment, Liu Ling'er was trying to pull out her sword, but she couldn't.

Jiang Baobin knew a lot about Liu Ling'er.

This girl is incredibly strong!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his butt.

That can only mean there's a problem with the sword design; it doesn't have a health bar.

Liu Ling'er simply kicked the bodyguard aside and pulled out another one from behind.

With a resolute expression, she merely glanced at Jiang Baobin.

His face showed no other expression besides murderous intent.

Jiang Baobin's lips twitched, and he quickly raised his hand to signal—

You're busy killing people, so don't thank me for saving your life.

Liu Ling'er did not react at all.

But another woman rushed out of the house like a madwoman, shouting, "Junbao! Junbao!"

It was this shout that saved Mrs. Gao's life.

Otherwise, Liu Ling'er, who was rushing to enter, would definitely not mind giving her a free sword strike!

After sheathing her sword and stepping aside to let Mrs. Gao pass, Liu Ling'er rushed into the door.

Mrs. Gao had no idea that she had just stepped into the gates of hell.

He ignored everything and ran straight into the west wing to comfort Gao Junbao.

This mother's love is truly great!

Just as Jiang Baobin was hesitating whether to follow them in...

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out from inside the house.

Liu Ling'er didn't have a gun, so it was clearly Gu Huaiwen who was making a last-ditch effort.

But now Jiang Baobin doesn't dare to rush in easily.

He promised Liu Decai that he would save people, not that he would throw his own life away.

He leaned against the door frame and peeked inside.

Liu Ling'er had already pulled out Gu Huaiwen, who was screaming like a pig being slaughtered, by his hair.

Fortunately, he was a coward, and even though he was right next to her, he didn't hurt Liu Ling'er.

Then look at Gu Huaiwen, that guy is really pitiful—

His right hand was severed at the wrist! Clearly, Liu Ling'er hated him for daring to shoot her.

This woman is truly ruthless!

Knowing his end was near, Gu Huaiwen disregarded the pain and screamed desperately:

"Grandma, spare me! I'm not Gu Huaiwen, I'm really not Gu Huaiwen!"

"I'm his substitute, I'm his substitute!"

Liu Ling'er was taken aback and demanded, "Who exactly are you...?"

"Ouch, ouch!" Gu Huaiwen cried out in pain.

However, Jiang Baobin, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the guy's eyes were darting around, clearly indicating that he was improvising lines.

But all the scheming is utterly inadequate in the face of brutal force.

As Liu Ling'er, with her frosty expression, raised her sword, Gu Huaiwen was instantly terrified!

He knelt down and cried out his innocence, "I am Gu Zhengwen, the younger brother of Gu Huaiwen."

"He did all the bad things, it has nothing to do with me!"

"He would make me wander around whenever he had nothing to do, just to lure out our enemies."

"I'm a good-for-nothing, a heavy smoker, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

Seeing this guy's pathetic state, regardless of whether others believed him or not, Jiang Baobin had already come to believe him.

Because he was such a coward, and considering that he even had to buy women on credit before, this is hardly the behavior of a true hero.

However, this does not mean that this person is without fault, otherwise where did he get his gun?

No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche!

Jiang Baobin even suspected that the person who forcibly took Liu Ling'er's mother back then was the imposter in front of him.

Gu Huaiwen was actually the one who took the blame for him.

Liu Ling'er clearly thought so too: "Then where is the real Gu Huaiwen?"

"I don't know, I really don't know, he never tells me where he is..."

Liu Ling'er's patience had run out, and with a swift movement, she slit Gu Zhengwen's throat with her sword.

Blood was gushing out...
