章 998: Turmoil and Unrest

"I'll let you shoot me a few times to vent your anger, and then you'll stay, alright?" Gu Chen stubbornly said as he persisted in advancing toward Shen Xi.

Seeing Gu Chen just a few steps away, Shen Xi furrowed her brows in anger and cursed, "You lunatic!" She swiftly rotated her wrist, and the last hidden weapon shot out from her hand.

Unable to dodge in time, Gu Chen was hit on the back of his hand by Shen Xi. A numb sensation spread from his hand to his entire body. The next moment, Gu Chen fell stiffly to the ground, with only a faint trace of consciousness remaining.

Lu Fei and Shen Luan, along with their men, forced Qian Tong and his group into the house. Seeing Gu Chen lying on the ground, Qian Tong and the others immediately surrounded him.

Shen Luan and Lu Fei, relieved to see Shen Xi unharmed, both sighed in relief. Then, their gaze sharpened as they turned to Gu Chen, waiting for Shen Xi to speak.
