Gu Mingshuang tried to push him but couldn't, so she gritted her teeth and urged him:

"You'd better leave quickly! Don't let the Liang family get involved with you. Although the Liang family is an earldom, many of their relatives are officials in the court. What if they all file a complaint against you?"

Qin Mo lowered his eyes.

"Go ahead and sue."

Gu Mingshuang said urgently:

"Your reputation is already pretty much ruined; getting involved in a lawsuit like this will only make things worse! Get out of here!"

A warm feeling finally rose in Qin Mo's heart. Seeing her constantly pushing him away, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So...you're worried about me?"

Gu Mingshuang said urgently:

"Yes! I was worried about you! So, can we go now, Brother Qin Mo?"

The way she called out "Brother Qin Mo" this time was not as soft and sweet as before; it carried a hint of spoiledness and willfulness, yet it gave him a unique and special feeling.

Having tasted the sweetness, he only wanted everyone here to disappear, leaving only him and her, so he could properly hear her call him that name.

Qin Mo took a step toward her.

He caught a whiff of her faint fragrance, a unique and delicate scent that lingered around his nose, making him irresistibly drawn to her.

Hearing the commotion, Qin Mo glanced at the approaching sword shadows, then at Liang Jin lying on the ground, and ordered in a deep voice:

"He won't die anytime soon, take him with you."

Hearing Qin Mo say this, Gu Mingshuang felt relieved.

At this moment, Jianying checked the injury and found that it was not fatal, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The wound was clearly caused by the sword moving half an inch after it pierced the skin; it looked inconspicuous but the pain was several times greater!

This is a method used only when interrogating spies from an enemy country. He felt a bit embarrassed and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that the second young master of the Liang family had no past grudges with his master!

Sword Shadow hurriedly asked:

"Master, should we call a doctor for Young Master Liang?"

Qin Mo said coldly:

"Summon a military medic; treat the wound using military techniques."

Gu Mingshuang looked at Jianying suspiciously, not understanding what military techniques were.

Jian Ying understood Gu Mingshuang's confusion and explained:

"Miss Gu, the military method is to treat wounds by tying people up without using anesthetic."

Gu Mingshuang burst out laughing.

I must say, Qin Mo is quite good at dealing with people! Someone like Liang Jin is best dealt with by Qin Mo! Ruthless enough!

After Liang Jin was carried away, the arena manager and his gang of thugs all watched this direction nervously.

The steward's face turned pale, and he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message, but the messenger was caught by Qin Mo's guards before he could leave.

"The Duke has come to the gambling den in the south of the city to handle a case involving the theft of military weapons. Your cooperation is appreciated!"

The manager gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said:

"My lord, our gambling den in the south of the city has always been law-abiding; there's absolutely no way it could be related to the theft of weapons!"

"Rest assured, we will cooperate fully. If there is indeed a suspect hiding here, our South City Gambling House will hand him over to the Duke immediately!"

Looking at the sword in Qin Mo's hand, he felt a chill run down his spine. They had all witnessed the Duke stab Liang Jin!

They dared to touch even the eldest son of the Earl's mansion, so in the eyes of the Duke, they were nothing but ants!

Qin Mo spoke calmly:

"Since you were there just now, did you see what happened during Qin's interrogation?"

The steward understood and immediately shook his head emphatically.

"We didn't see anything!"

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't see anything? The young master of the Liang family was found lying in your South City gambling den, how are you going to explain that?"

The steward wiped the sweat from his brow and said urgently:

"I misspoke earlier. Look, we saw it! We saw the second young master of the Liang family get into a fight after being killed by a wolf. We don't know how he got injured, but thanks to the Duke of Anguo who arrived in time to investigate, he was saved!"

Gu Mingshuang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. This manager had really mastered the skill of lying through his teeth!

Is there a single word in what he said that matches up?

The manager stepped forward awkwardly, forcing a smile:

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. The Liang family are scholars and gentlemen; they won't make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, if word gets out that their eldest son came to the gambling den in the south of the city, wouldn't they become a laughing stock?"

Qin Mo nodded slowly.

"Since this concerns the gambling den, it's not appropriate for me, Qin, to interfere too much."

The steward cupped his hands and hurriedly asked:

"And what about the other distinguished guests today...?"

Qin Mo turned to look at Gu Mingshuang.

"Did anyone else touch you just now?"

Caught off guard by his question, Gu Mingshuang quickly shook her head.

"there is none left."

The steward finally understood: the Duke had clearly come to avenge this woman disguised as a man!

He immediately recalled how he had just obstructed the woman and even cursed at her.

The steward's legs went weak, and he quickly bowed deeply to Gu Mingshuang.

"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! I offended you with my words! I deserve to die!"

Gu Mingshuang shook her head, but thinking of Xiao Li's matter, she said in a deep voice:

"I won't pursue the other matters with you, but I've taken the indenture of that girl from the gambling den. From now on, she has nothing to do with you!"

The manager nodded quickly.

"yes!"

Gu Mingshuang turned to look at Qin Mo, her eyes slightly curved, and whispered:

"Thank you, country..."

Qin Mo frowned slightly, and Gu Mingshuang immediately changed her mind.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Mo."

After saying that, she smiled, pursing her lips.

Suddenly, I realized that having a domineering and powerful older brother like Qin Mo is actually quite nice.

After leaving the gambling den in the south of the city, Gu Mingshuang immediately saw Song Linyuan being pinned against the wall by the guards at the door!

Song Linyuan turned his head and saw Gu Mingshuang at a glance. He immediately struggled and shouted urgently:

"Mingshuang! You've finally come out!"

Qin Mo shielded Gu Mingshuang behind him, his voice calm and cold.

"I'll clean it up for you."

Gu Mingshuang tugged at Qin Mo's sleeve and whispered:

"It's a small matter; I can handle it myself."

She said Song Linyuan's matter was a trivial matter? Qin Mo felt inexplicably comfortable, and his furrowed brows relaxed. Then he glanced at the guards.

"Let him go."
