CHAPTER 504: 504: THE CLAWS ARE CHOPPED OFF FOR OFFERING TO THE HEAVENS.

Gu Qing finally stopped playing and halted all his movements.

His gaze was as piercing as a torch, landing on Li Yan, as he said, "I’m afraid today won’t work! Later, the team will have a meeting, and both of us have to attend!"

"Today?"

Li Yan raised an eyebrow.

But he understood that the team Gu Qing mentioned was the ’Duo Zun’ mission group.

Which is essentially the Academy’s high-level meeting.

That is why he spoke so vaguely.

Moreover, it was to prevent Gu Tong from noticing.

When trainees participate in specific tasks,

they must sign a confidentiality agreement.

Even to family members, not a single detail can be disclosed.

That’s the regulation!

"Yes! In an hour,"

Gu Qing glanced at his watch, accurately calculating the time.

The urgency of the high level to convene the meeting...

is enough to prove the importance of this mission.

Li Yan knew this point clearly.

"Understood!"

His voice was calm, without any fluctuation.

It seemed as if everything was just a normal work procedure.

These few lines of dialogue were clearly meant to avoid Gu Tong.

However, how could Gu Tong not understand the content they were discussing.

It’s surely related to some important task again.

So, it’s inconvenient to disclose it to her, right?

"Then I’ll head back first."

The distance from here to the Academy’s residence building isn’t far.

It only takes about five minutes by car.

She can wait for Li Yan to return at home.

...

Unintentionally, the three of them got into the jeep together.

The atmosphere inside the car became oppressively tense due to the arrival of the three.

Most notably, the driver and a certain deputy, who didn’t dare to breathe too heavily, cautiously observing the scene in the back seat.

The five minutes flew by.

Through the car window, Gu Tong finally saw the Academy’s residence building.

She pressed her lips and said in a steady voice, "Then I’m heading back first, you all be safe, see you!"

Her voice was stable, with no fluctuation.

Her gaze fell on Gu Qing but quickly withdrew...

Perhaps it was the recent flashbacks that reminded her of the past interactions with her brother.

And, the incident that caused her brother and father to go to the Royal Court...

These things are vivid in her mind!

She feels immense guilt towards her family.

Her emotions are still in turmoil.

Gu Tong forcefully controlled herself and walked towards the Academy residence building.

However, her emotions were not unnoticed by the two men in the car.

If earlier was silence, now it felt like the depths of winter!

And all of this happened the moment Gu Tong left the car!

Gu Qing’s expression changed dramatically, his gaze turning sharp, as he said: "Did you do anything to the girl?"

He wouldn’t believe nothing happened to the girl!

Being Gu Tong’s brother! He could keenly sense Gu Tong’s reactions!

Just now, her expression was definitely not fake!

It was genuine emotion.

"No."

Li Yan replied forcefully.

Similarly, this question was echoing in his mind.

He was also eager to know.

Where does Gu Tong’s sadness come from!

"It better be that way!"

Gu Qing retracted his gaze, but the irritation in his body did not dissipate.

Instead, it flowed with his blood, seeping into every part.

"If this girl is sad or upset because of you! No matter who you are, no matter where you are! I will never let you off!"

These words left Li Yan utterly bewildered.

She is my wife, I can’t love her enough, why would I bully her like you!

Li Yan kept silently complaining in his heart.

Gu Qing likes to bully Gu Tong, but it was a kind of affectionate teasing, protecting Gu Tong was his responsibility at all costs!

Gu Tong is his sister, only he is allowed to playfully bully her.

If others dare to move even a finger! He would definitely chop their hand off as an offering to the gods!
