CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 386: SECOND SENIOR BROTHER

Guo Xia still remembers that scene.

A little girl with chubby cheeks and big eyes suddenly rushed out from somewhere and kicked out with her foot. She was as light as a swallow, weaving between several men, and in the blink of an eye, those men were on the ground.

The men were initially somewhat fearful, but upon seeing that the person attacking them was a four or five-year-old girl, they began to threaten her.

She was worried for the little girl, and while the men weren’t paying attention, she backed up to the car door and attempted to pick up the phone in the car to call the police.

But just as she stealthily picked up the phone to dial the police, she unexpectedly heard the men’s pleas for mercy. Upon focusing her eyes, she saw the men lying neatly on the ground while the little girl squatted there, pressing down on one man’s head and shouting fiercely at him in a child-like manner.

"Wow, the little heroine was doing good deeds without leaving her name back then, but now she’s become a big celebrity!"

Guo Xia chuckled and shook her head.

At the time, she asked the little girl’s name, but the little heroine wouldn’t say, only sheepishly admitting that she was hungry.

So, she gave the little girl all the emergency bread, biscuits, and chocolates she had in the car.

Later, the girl gave the name of a residential area, so she drove her there.

She was quite familiar with the communities in Jiangcheng, and the area the little heroine mentioned was known for housing many celebrities, with strong security. She had pondered which celebrity family the little heroine might belong to, only to later see her on a show and discover she was actually the daughter of Film Emperor Gu Feng and the younger sister of top celebrity Gu Che!

That experience was enough to become a conversation starter.

Furthermore, as the little heroine became increasingly famous, sharing the story of her bravery would not only boost her reputation but also bring her own business some attention. Sometimes, business needs publicity.

But considering the little heroine’s peculiar experience and the unfriendly trend of today’s internet, she still hasn’t told anyone about it, including her family.

What if some media ventures out and snoops around, trying to find the little heroine and her master’s secluded home?

They might not be genuinely searching, but would definitely be trying to ride the wave of the little heroine’s popularity. Gradually, people might become annoyed with her.

Besides, a four or five-year-old girl appearing alone in the countryside might incite a mob against her master, accusing him of neglecting his disciple, as if they, the netizens, are the little heroine’s master and savior.

"However, it seems those people didn’t speak up."

She’s referring to the ones who tried to force a sale by setting spikes.

Just as she was lost in thought, the vehicle jolted as if it had run over something it shouldn’t have.

Her heart skipped a beat, followed by a voice alert from the vehicle indicating a problem with the tire.

Guo Xia: "..."

This time, she was more astute, not hurriedly leaving the car to investigate, but instead picking up her phone, ready to call the police at any moment.

After waiting for a while, she indeed spotted a few people emerging from the deep undergrowth near the national road.

These people consisted of both men and women, dressed in workwear.

Soon, the only woman knocked on the car window, politely saying, "Hello, I noticed your car has been parked here for a long time. Is there a problem? We’re all repair workers; we could take a look for you."

Guo Xia: "..." Just because you speak politely doesn’t mean it’s not a forced sale!

She didn’t hesitate to call the police, even lifting her phone towards the window to snap photos of the individuals outside.

Their expressions changed abruptly, and they turned to leave, stopping a few meters away before returning, one of them picking up a stone and using its sharp edge to heavily smash against the car window.

Guo Xia was taken aback, momentarily unable to discern whether they were merely venting their anger on her or, angry about calling the police, planning to drag her out for a beating, or even to rob her.

Frightened, she frantically tried to dial a call.

At this moment, she heard a scream; looking over, she found the people on the far outskirts had collapsed to the ground.

The scene was so familiar, as if the next second, a little heroine might descend from the sky again.

Jiangshui.

Tuanzi listened to the radio while practicing martial arts.

This time, she was practicing Eighteen Flips, which involves simultaneous attacking and grappling, with hands and feet moving together; the effect would be better if there were opponents to spar with.

However, her practice partner was a huge teddy bear toy, standing a full 1.8 meters tall.

This teddy bear toy had been delivered by Gu Qize a few days ago, saying it was bought by his brother, Gu Yunmu. As Yun Mu had something come up suddenly, and as Qize happened to be in Jiang City for business, he helped deliver it.

Gu Yunmu had filled in the address at their residence in Jiangshui.

The two houses aren’t that far apart; she could definitely have informed Tuanzi to go pick it up herself.

But Gu Yunmu insisted that Gu Qize bring it over.

Thus, this calm and composed CEO personally carried a 1.8-meter teddy bear toy from their house to Tuanzi’s house.

The sight captured a lot of children’s attention along the way.

When this CEO and the teddy bear toy appeared at the gate of the yard, they successfully startled everyone in the yard.

At that time, Tuanzi, Gu Cheng, Duan Xiayou, and the retired second uncle and aunt, along with Gu Chi, who finally was not busy, were all in the yard having a barbecue.

Compared to the overwhelmingly joyful Tuanzi, Gu Chi’s first action was to pick up his phone and take photos, even commenting that he would paint a picture of Gu Qize and the teddy bear baby to gift to Gu Yunmu.

Gu Qize: "..."

Gu Yunmu had bought the teddy bear toy with the intention of having it replace him keeping his sister company.

He described it as being fluffy and soft, even making a good carpet.

However, Tuanzi was restless and seldom stayed in her room.

She felt that neglecting the teddy baby was bad, so she would set up a reclining chair for the teddy bear baby to lie down on and watch her practice martial arts.

But now, the one lying in the reclining chair sunbathing was Duan Xiayou.

After carefully propping the teddy bear baby upright again and patting the specially spread-out blanket on the ground, Tuanzi pouted and glared at the sleepy Duan Xiayou.

"Senior brother, you’re hogging its chair and making it accompany Miaomiao for martial arts practice. Isn’t that too much?"

The reclining chair was meant for the teddy bear baby, while the senior brother was supposed to be her sparring partner.

But the brazen senior brother had taken the chair for himself and was even using the teddy bear baby.

Duan Xiayou lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at them.

"Aren’t you practicing well? It’s working well with you."

Pausing for a moment, Duan Xiayou added with a teasing tone, "Though, it’s too tall, you look more like you’re playing a wrestling game."

The previous scene seemed like a little teddy bear tussling with a big teddy bear.

Tuanzi: (〝▼皿▼)

Duan Xiayou, sharp-eyed, noticed her baring her teeth and quickly said, "Your new tooth seems to have grown out."

"What?"

Tuanzi prodded the tooth that’s poking out.

[Ancient Martial System: No, isn’t that tooth in your mouth? How come you didn’t notice it?]

Earlier, when the tooth was loose, she didn’t notice, and when it fell out, she panicked. Now that a new tooth had grown in, the owner of the teeth still wasn’t the first to discover it.

The host is truly something else.

Tuanzi sheepishly laughed, eager to touch it, but upon seeing her tiny hand, she held back.

Just then, the initially indifferent Duan Xiayou sat up, his eyes sharp, gazing towards the outside of the yard.

"Senior brother, what are you looking at..."

Feeling a gust of wind from behind, her first instinct was to leap onto the tree.
