Chapter 1139: Chapter 1135: Swear an Oath

However, despite this, the initiative still lies with Chen Yang at the moment.

Because Gu Xuanyu is an extremely important person to them, they can’t afford to see anything happen to him.

So at this moment, they are very wary of Chen Yang, fearing that he might do something to Gu Xuanyu.

Chen Yang clearly felt this too.

Thus, he didn’t speak up first but wanted the old man to come up with a solution to properly resolve this issue.

Chen Yang remained silent for a long time, and so did the old man.

But then the old man suddenly went out for a while, and Chen Yang didn’t know what he went to do.

When he returned, the phone in Chen Yang’s pocket immediately started ringing.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Chen Yang immediately took out the phone from his pocket with his other hand.

When he looked, it was actually Gao Ya calling.

Chen Yang instantly understood what the old man had gone to do.

He must have called Gao Ya, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that as soon as he returned, Gao Ya called, especially at such a tense moment.

Chen Yang hesitated slightly but eventually answered the call.

“Manager Gao.”

In front of Gu Xuanyu and all the Gu Family members, Chen Yang couldn’t appear too close to Gao Ya and could only address her as Manager Gao.

The person on the other end, Gao Ya, was naturally aware of the situation on Chen Yang’s side, so she didn’t show any unusual reaction.

“Mr. Chen, would you grant me a favor and release Xuanyu?” Gao Ya said directly, starting with a request for Chen Yang to release Gu Xuanyu.

When Chen Yang saw the call, he had already guessed most of Gao Ya’s intentions, so he wasn’t surprised by her words.

“Manager Gao, I’m afraid your request is a bit difficult for me. My people are still in the hands of your Gu Family, and you want me to release someone just like that. Do you think that’s appropriate?” Chen Yang said calmly.

“Mr. Chen, I roughly understand what happened. I know Xuanyu’s actions were indeed inappropriate, but please, don’t harm him. Everything else can be negotiated,” Gao Ya continued.

“Negotiated? How? This guy can even kidnap an unrelated person; is there anything he wouldn’t do?” Chen Yang’s tone suddenly became firm, sounding as if he had no intention of letting Gu Xuanyu go.

The conversation between Chen Yang and Gao Ya was heard by both the old man and Gu Xuanyu.

Hearing Chen Yang’s tone turn hard, both of them felt a shock internally.

The old man couldn’t help but speak up, “Chen Yang, as long as you release the young master, I’ll release the girl immediately and promise that from now on, the disputes between you and my Gu Family will concern only you and me, no one else will get involved!”

The old man’s words were very implicit, implying that if he released Gu Xuanyu today.

They would absolutely not resort to such kidnapping methods in the future.

The dispute between him and the Gu Family would only involve personal actions.

To be honest, the reason Chen Yang was reluctant to easily let go of Gu Xuanyu was precisely because of such concerns.

Worried that if he releases him this time, he might pull the same trick again next time.

He had too many people he cared about, too many women by his side.

He couldn’t guard against it completely, and now the old man’s promise did make Chen Yang tempted.

“What’s the use of your promise? Your Gu Family hasn’t done few dirty deeds. Would you care about a verbal promise?” Chen Yang coldly raised an eyebrow, looking at the old man and said.

“Uh…”

The old man was momentarily speechless, unable to argue against Chen Yang’s words.

“Mr. Chen, do you trust me? If you trust me, how about I guarantee this matter?” Just then, Gao Ya, on the phone, also spoke up, offering to guarantee it.

The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly heard by Chen Yang.

And as Chen Yang heard Gao Ya saying this, he immediately knew she must have a way to ensure Gu Xuanyu fulfills his promise.

Otherwise, why would she decisively say she would guarantee it?

“You guarantee?”

However, Chen Yang still questioned.

“Yes, I guarantee such things will never happen again in the future!” Gao Ya said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t answer further but instead looked fiercely at the controlled Gu Xuanyu.

At this time, Gu Xuanyu was internally flustered, but he was still gritting his teeth to maintain a semblance of composure!

Seeing him like this, Chen Yang smirked slightly and then said, “This matter not only needs Manager Gao’s guarantee, but you also need to swear to me! Otherwise, don’t think you can leave here peacefully.”

As soon as Chen Yang said this, a powerful aura surged towards Gu Xuanyu like a tide.

That kind of intangible aura pressure caused him to break into a cold sweat.

Gulp.

He forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to stay calm, without speaking.

Until Gao Ya on the phone urged him to promise, giving him a way out.

Only then did he grit his teeth and make a vow.

“I also swear, from now on, our grievance concerns only you and me; no one else will be implicated!” Gu Xuanyu vowed through gritted teeth.

While making the vow, his face was full of resentment.

But in order to escape, he still made the promise, a scene that made Chen Yang want to laugh.

But he didn’t care, what Chen Yang wanted was just their promise.

Whether he harbored resentment or not, Chen Yang didn’t care at all.

He wasn’t worried about him targeting him either!

This was the strong confidence he had after breaking through to the Mystical Power realm.

“Chen Yang, the Young Master has made a vow, can you release him now?”

Gu Xuanyu made the vow, and then the old man immediately urged Chen Yang to release him.

Chen Yang’s gaze shifted to the old man, saying, “If anyone is to be released, it should be you releasing them first.”

“You…”

The old man was filled with anger upon hearing this and prepared to argue with Chen Yang.

But at that moment, the voice of Gao Ya on the phone interrupted him directly.

“Mr. Mo, let’s release them first. I trust Mr. Chen’s character wouldn’t do anything as break a promise on the spot,” Gao Ya said.

Hearing Gao Ya’s words, the old man known as Mr. Mo chose to release them.

He waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately followed suit.

They released the heavily tied-up Xiaocui and also removed the cloth from her mouth.

Once freed, Xiaocui immediately ran towards Chen Yang.

She directly dove into Chen Yang’s arms, crying in frustration.

As a weak woman, she had never faced such a scene before and was already terrified.

Only in Chen Yang’s arms did she feel safe.

“Alright, alright, Xiaocui, it’s over. Don’t worry, nothing will happen as long as I’m here,” Looking at the terrified Xiaocui, Chen Yang felt a pang of heartache and quickly comforted her emotions.

After a round of comforting, when Xiaocui’s emotions stabilized.

Only then did Chen Yang release his grip on Gu Xuanyu.

Seeing that Chen Yang had let go, Gu Xuanyu immediately distanced himself from Chen Yang, running to stand beside Mr. Mo.

While in Chen Yang’s grasp, Gu Xuanyu’s face was full of hatred, and now that he was away from him, his resentful expression was even greater.

The look in his eyes toward Chen Yang was as if he wanted to tear him apart, very terrifying.

Of course, to the eyes of ordinary people, that look was very frightening.

But Chen Yang didn’t care at all.

Firstly, he had the confidence, completely unafraid of retaliation.

Secondly, there were numerous people who resented him; what did this Gu Xuanyu count as?
