Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 677 - 278: Brother Min, Start Your Show

In King Jingyao’s office.

Min Xin was always accompanying his superior.

At eight o’clock that evening, the atmosphere grew noticeably tense.

Min Xin only jolted as if waking from a dream when what seemed like a meteor streaked across the sky and a deafening explosion roared from the east.

King Jingyao watched the flames blazing in the dark night, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Min Xin was utterly astonished. He stared for a long moment before stammering, "No... How could it be like this?"

King Jingyao, his hand resting on the railing, turned to his deputy. "How could it not be like this?"

Min Xin’s gaze fixed on his face. After a long pause, he managed to utter, "It was Gu Anxi, wasn’t it?"

King Jingyao didn’t answer directly. Instead, he turned to look at the blaze in the distance, saying meaningfully, "That direction is Dark’s main lair."

Min Xin shuddered again.

Gu Anxi also came from Dark. Wouldn’t this be considered betraying her mentors and origins? And she actually possesses such capabilities!

At this, Min Xin became somewhat exasperated. "Why didn’t you tell me before?"

King Jingyao took out a cigarette and lit it. "Tell you what?"

Min Xin stamped his foot. "So you had this planned all along!" He was still quite angry. Weren’t we supposed to be in the same boat?

King Jingyao merely smiled, glancing sidelong at him. "I thought you were on Bo Qing’s side. Besides, with something this significant, I had to be cautious."

Just as Min Xin was about to say something, King Jingyao continued, "Do you know how perilous that situation was just now? Bo Qing directly identified that little rascal as Infinite. You can imagine how those incompetent fools under you reacted, can’t you? Min Xin, if you had been there, would you have wavered?"

Min Xin was stunned. After a long moment, he mumbled, "Is Bo Qing trying to get her killed?"

"More like trying to drive her into a corner!" King Jingyao exhaled a ring of smoke. "But that little rascal didn’t let anyone off easy either. Oh, right, Bo Jingshen was taken out by her."

Min Xin was shocked once more. It wasn’t just him; even the Secretary-General present was shocked.

Bo Jingshen was, firstly, a member of the Bo family, and secondly, held a position of considerable importance. Yet Gu Anxi had just eliminated him, just like that.

Min Xin was the first to react. She’s gone too far!

King Jingyao flicked his cigarette ash, sneering, "Is there anything she wouldn’t dare to do? She’s stirred up a huge mess now. People are currently intimidated by her audacity, but they’re sure to come looking for trouble later."

As he spoke, King Jingyao patted Min Xin’s shoulder. "By the way, that little rascal is sharp; she’s probably on her way here right now. Brother Min, you always said you wanted to be in the same boat with me. Well, this boat is getting a bit crowded. If you want to get on board, you need to show some sincerity. So, cleaning up the mess this little rascal has made this time falls to you."

Min Xin was furious and wanted to curse. Someone of Bo Jingshen’s standing, and she just took him out like that? And now I’m the one who has to clean up her mess?

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of cars pulling up came from downstairs. He glanced down—who else could it be but that little rascal?

It wasn’t just her; there were several other cars, all carrying people from the General Office. Most likely, they were all here to lodge complaints.

King Jingyao clapped Min Xin’s shoulder, smiling. "Little brother, it’s all on you now."

Gu Anxi’s group arrived, naturally causing quite a stir.

Zhou Yunchen, being worldly-wise, remained unperturbed by favor or disgrace. Shen Congwen, however, was visibly frightened; she was usually so gentle and refined.

Chen Ming also felt unsteady on his feet. He’d been in this line of work for so long but had truly never seen someone fire a gun without even blinking. Her mental fortitude was unbelievable.

He had been sneaking glances at Gu Anxi. She patted his shoulder. "Too late, I’m married."

Chen Ming sighed. Such mental fortitude!

When they entered King Jingyao’s small conference room, it was packed, a dense crowd filling the space.

Some were terrified, others apprehensive. And then there was Gu Anxi, utterly unfazed.

Min Xin and King Jingyao came over. The moment King Jingyao stepped in, he thundered, "Gu Anxi, just how audacious are you? You dared to touch Jingshen? He wasn’t just my capable right-hand man; he was a trusted confidant of your Uncle Bo! Now that you’ve just eliminated him like this, how am I supposed to explain it to everyone?"

Gu Anxi coughed lightly. "I eliminated a traitor to the Bo family."

King Jingyao slammed his hand on the table. "A traitor just because you say so? I see you’re becoming increasingly lawless!"

Appearing thoroughly enraged, he ordered, "Jingchuan, call Bo Nianyao over. And Bo Jingshen’s family!"

Wang Jingchuan looked troubled. "Mr. Wang, Bo Jingshen doesn’t really have any family. He was essentially raised by the Bo family."

"Look at this, just look! He was like a son to your Uncle Bo!" King Jingyao raged. "Now that you’ve shot him, how are you going to account for yourself?"

His outburst immediately emboldened the influential figures who had come to complain. One by one, they recounted Little Gu’s heinous actions at the time—

"Mr. Wang, I saw it with my own eyes! She’s a ruthless killer!"

"Yes, yes! She didn’t even blink, and the man was gone!"

"Today it was Bo Jingshen; tomorrow it could be us!"

"She can’t be allowed to remain!"

"Mr. Wang, I don’t know if this is appropriate to say, but there’s an old Chinese saying: ’Uphold justice even at the expense of family ties.’"

...

"Expense of whom?" Gu Anxi’s gaze swept over them. They instantly fell silent, terrified she might pull out a menacing, dark firearm...
