In the Empire's territory, there was actually a thief who dared to steal and even tried to kill someone under Gong Jue's watch… In the past, he would definitely chase after that person and kill them!
But now, Gong Jue also had two people who needed protection.
Gu Qiqi and the boy.
For the first time in his life, he hesitated about whether he should take action to punish the culprit.
Gu Qiqi could predict his worries and pushed him away. "Hurry up! There's no security guard here. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to catch up. Don't you believe in my ability to protect myself? I'll bring the boy along with me to treat the girl's wounds! I'll wait for you!"
Gong Jue's gaze darkened.
Gu Qiqi's reaction was fast and her skills weren't bad either. If he returned quickly, there indeed wouldn't be a problem.
But his tone was still stern. "You're not allowed to leave here. Wait for me!"
"Yes, I understand!" Gu Qiqi nodded.
