Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 471 - 470: The Terrified Young Lady

"How about it, Sister Fang..."

Feng Qingyang smiled at Fang Zhixue.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoqing finally spoke up.

"Feng Qingyang, if you called me here just to watch you act arrogantly, then it’s pointless."

"Oh?"

Feng Qingyang looked at Gu Xiaoqing playfully.

Clack!

Before anyone could react, Gu Xiaoqing stood up abruptly, raised a gun with one hand, and pointed it at Feng Qingyang, "Sorry, I’m short on time. I’ll give you three seconds. Either put down the gun and talk properly or just shoot."

"Then I’ll count for you, one..."

Feng Qingyang said calmly as ever.

"Three!"

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t care less about playing games with Feng Qingyang, she counted directly to three and immediately fired the gun.

Bang!

All eyes were on Nalan Yuanshu, who looked at his hand in shock, emitting a howl like a slaughtered pig, and Jiang Limin screamed just as loudly.

The heavily made-up woman crouched on the floor, tears streaming down her face, and it took her a long while to realize that she hadn’t been shot.

Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan were dumbfounded. When did Gu Xiaoqing become so decisive? It was simply like she was carved from the same mold as Fang Zhixue.

Fang Zhixue glanced at Gu Xiaoqing and said nothing.

"Sorry, my hand slipped. Forgive me, I’m just a woman."

Gu Xiaoqing pointed the gun muzzle at Feng Qingyang.

"Well, Gu Xiaoqing, you’re something, Gu Xiaoqing! I’ve really taken a liking to you."

Feng Qingyang praised Gu Xiaoqing while shouting to the startled staff at the door, "Find someone to bandage Yuan Shu’s hand. See if the bullet’s still in there; if not, call a doctor."

"Come on, everyone sit down. I was just joking with you all, did you really take it seriously?!"

As he spoke, Feng Qingyang looked at Jiang Limin, who was squatting on the ground, too scared to stand up, and waved his hand in front of his nose, "Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Jiang, maybe let someone help you change clothes? How about it?"

Guo Donghua and Ye Mingyue were completely in the dark, not afraid at all, especially Ye Mingyue, who had been through such situations countless times and was numbed to it.

Jiang Limin was carried out crying, finally realizing the gap between herself and Gu Xiaoqing.

They weren’t even in the same league.

Although Gu Xiaoqing appeared reserved, with the leisure and softness of an Oriental woman, her inner resilience was no less than Fang Zhixue’s.

At their core, Fang Zhixue and Gu Xiaoqing were the same.

"Actually, I’m here to help Shaohan with some matters. As long as Shaohan makes a little sacrifice, I promise he’ll come out unscathed."

Feng Qingyang said with a smile.

Only then did Ye Mingyue and Guo Donghua turn to Gu Xiaoqing, realizing for the first time that something had happened to Fang Shaohan.

"What sacrifice?"

Fang Shaonan asked with a frown.

"As long as the Fang Family apologizes publicly for the harm done to Miss Gu back then, and Fang Shaohan voluntarily gives up on Gu Xiaoqing, I guarantee he’ll walk out unharmed the next moment."

"That’s impossible!"

Fang Zhixue immediately refused.

Gu Xiaoqing remained silent, admiring Feng Qingyang’s eloquence. Anyone hearing these words would be moved.

Even Ye Mingyue and Guo Donghua believed Feng Qingyang was standing up for Gu Xiaoqing!

But in fact, Feng Qingyang had already revealed his stance.

This time he planned to oppose the Fang Family, and that intention was clear when Nalan Yuanshu came in, only now it was straight forward.

Public apology?

Is that possible?

If they apologized to Gu Xiaoqing and her family, Fang Zhixue would accept without hesitation, but a public apology would involve many people and events from the past.

Setting aside the issues of public opinion, a public apology would cause the Fang Family’s entire network to collapse, effectively destroying the Fang Family.

Indeed, Fang Shaohan would be released.

But the Fang Family would be finished!

It might even create an unpredictable political storm, during the one-after-another leadership’s absence, someone would surely use this storm to incite true, unseen upheaval.

By then, the Fang Family would be gone, plunging the entire country into a massive crisis.

Both outcomes were something Fang Zhixue did not want to see.

Similarly, Gu Xiaoqing understood that Feng Qingyang wasn’t avenging her; he was using her situation as a pretext to create trouble.

"Feng Qingyang, you are playing with fire, do you know that?"

Fang Zhixue stared at Feng Qingyang, speaking slowly, the threat evident in her tone.

"No, Fang Zhixue, you are mistaken. You’re no longer dealing with fire; you’re already reduced to nearly burnt-out ashes."

Feng Qingyang clapped his hands and snapped his fingers at the door.

A man wearing a tuxedo and wide-brimmed hat walked in. As he approached, he hummed a tune and occasionally broke into a tap dance with exaggerated gestures.

"Hello, long time no see, Blood Rose."

The man walked to Fang Zhixue and Fang Shaonan, greeting them warmly. However, Fang Zhixue did not respond.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they say women are heartless, but how could you forget me? Have you forgotten the pain I brought you, that deep, unforgettable pain?"

The man leaned in to Fang Zhixue, murmuring eerily in her ear. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Bastard, stay away from my sister-in-law!"

Fang Shaonan stood abruptly, shoving the man.

The man glanced at Fang Shaonan, brushing off his shoulder as if he had a cleanliness compulsion, and continued with his peculiar, exaggerated voice, "Kid, why push me? Do you not want your hand anymore?"

"What did you say?"

"Shaonan, sit down!"

Fang Zhixue stared at the newcomer, then looked at Feng Qingyang, speaking fiercely: "Did you invite the ripper? Do you know how dangerous he is? How could you let him into the country?"

"To deal with you."

Feng Qingyang smiled, "He’s been looking for you for years, and now I’ve let him catch your scent. It’s simple, isn’t it? At least, I won’t worry about you threatening my people, because you will not have the capacity."

"I am a gentleman, I promise after I’ve taken the Blood Rose and her entire family’s lives, I’ll leave here immediately. This environment isn’t suitable for me; London suits me more. That dampness, that elegance, that atmosphere... it’s like a drug to me."

The man referred to as ’the ripper’ by Fang Zhixue twirled around the dining table, expressing himself like a madman.

At this moment, the foreign Caucasian man sat beside Feng Qingyang, crossed his legs, and asked, "Can I act now?"

"If you’re confident enough to directly defeat Fang Zhixue."

Feng Qingyang smiled.

"That’s true, but that kid is really annoying me!"
