Chapter 519: Chapter 516: A Candy for You: Shu Ning Side Story (12)

The burly man laughed triumphantly, bending over with laughter, "...Hahaha, this scumbag dares to ruin our plans, I can take your life with one slash, humph!"

"Little Commandery Princess!"

The person outside the window, at the last moment of his life, used all his strength to call out. His voice full of unwillingness and defiance.

Even if it meant dying, he wanted to complete the mission to save the Little Commandery Princess.

But, there was no chance.

The big knife in the hands of the burly man pierced straight into his heart. He was so worried about the Commandery Princess’s safety that he neglected his own and did not avoid this fatal blow.

The burly man was very satisfied with the result. He laughed twice, used the knife to poke open the window, and stared straight at the body outside.

Afterwards, he turned to Jing Shu and said, "Stinky girl, didn’t expect you’d have someone protecting you, huh? Hehe!"

Jing Shu’s lips were bloodless; she also didn’t expect it. She murmured, "Who arranged for someone to protect me?"

Because she was too puzzled, Jing Shu momentarily forgot about her injuries.

The burly man didn’t waste much effort on the outsider, after resolving the potential crisis, he returned to Jing Shu’s side with the knife, glanced at her, then ordered the body to be dragged out and two people skilled at skinning to be called in.

They were dead set, determined to skin Jing Shu alive.

Moreover, they were also afraid of unexpected complications, so they wanted to finish quickly.

Despair rose in Jing Shu’s heart again.

It’s over, this time it seems no one is going to save her.

But just at this moment, "Bam..." a sound, the door was kicked open from outside by someone.

This person kicked so hard that the door panel shook dangerously, almost collapsing.

The people in front of her who were about to slice at her stopped dead, their hands clutching the daggers frozen in midair, not moving for a long time. Clearly terrified.

Their reaction made Jing Shu determined that the newcomer was not with them.

Straining to turn her head for a look, indeed, they were not.

Because the person who came was Gu Ning.

The one with a bad mouth, seemingly bad person, but actually not so bad, because he had never really harmed her, nor caused her suffering.

He came.

Two teams followed behind him.

They all rushed in, starting to fight the burly men inside.

The leading Gu Ning, afraid that these men holding Jing Shu could turn desperate and harm her, rushed to Jing Shu’s side upon entering, and dealt with those intending to kill her.

The reversal happened so fast, Jing Shu was somewhat stunned.

"Are you alright?"

Gu Ning asked, looking at Jing Shu lying on the stone bed.

Jing Shu looked at Gu Ning, shook her head, her emotions complicated.

She had imagined countless times the scene of being saved, also thought of who the person coming to save her might be, but never in her wildest imagination did she expect it was Gu Ning who led people to rescue her.

All her inner fears, unease, and apprehension... dissipated with Gu Ning’s arrival.

She didn’t know what her mood was at that moment, she choked up with tears.

Gu Ning saw the injuries on Jing Shu’s face, and the edges of the wounds already coagulated with blood, thus he thought she was crying due to the pain from her injuries.

He put aside the unpleasantness between them, hurriedly comforting, "Commandery Princess, don’t cry, your injuries aren’t too deep. As long as you recuperate properly after going back, you can heal without leaving scars!"

This person?

Even worried about whether she would be scarred?

Jing Shu’s emotions became more complex, and consequently, she cried even harder!

Gu Ning was at a loss, "Little Commandery Princess, why exactly are you crying?" Could she still be scared? Gu Ning thought and continued to comfort, "It’s okay now, I’m here, I came to save you, you won’t be harmed."

Then looking at the shackles binding Jing Shu, he said, "These shackles on you, I’m going to help you remove them right now, to restore your freedom, don’t worry."

Gu Ning busied himself going back and forth, helping to unshackle Jing Shu, while also comforting her emotions.

He usually had a sharp tongue, seemed difficult to get along with, and icy. But at this moment, he showed extraordinary patience, no matter how Jing Shu cried or fussed, he didn’t scold even once, instead gently guided her.

While helping Jing Shu remove the shackles, he was even worried about hurting her, so his movements were very gentle.

Amidst the overwhelming complex emotions, Jing Shu regained her freedom.

The first thing she did after regaining freedom was to throw herself into Gu Ning’s arms, with lingering palpitations, unease, pain, fear, tightly embracing Gu Ning.

Gu Ning’s embrace was very warm, very safe, gradually calming all those heightened emotions in Jing Shu.

Gu Ning had never been treated this way by any lady before, he was somewhat at a loss, from the bottom of his heart he felt it was a bit inappropriate, he wanted to push Jing Shu away, but hearing her choked sobs, he couldn’t.

He let Jing Shu cry in his arms.

After she had cried enough, she finally let him go.

"Can you get down by yourself?" Gu Ning asked.

Jing Shu wiped her tears, nodded, "Mm!"

Jing Shu supported herself as she got off the iron bed, but due to the severe shock she suffered, she hadn’t fully recovered, still a bit weak.

When she got off the iron bed, she almost fell, luckily Gu Ning was quick to support her.

When Gu Ning supported her, he didn’t think much initially, only afterward did he realize he might have been a bit presumptuous.

A young lady’s waist isn’t something to hold casually.

Seeing Jing Shu also seemed a bit uncomfortable, he quickly let go.

Jing Shu coughed twice, somewhat searching for words: "...Mr. Gu, how did you find this place?"

Gu Ning said, "The people His Majesty sent to protect you left marks along the way, I followed those marks to find you."

Jing Shu nodded, "So that’s how it is." Paused for a moment, "Aunt was considerate, if it wasn’t for the people she sent to protect me, my life would have been over!"

"Alright, say no more, come with me!" Gu Ning glanced around at the people still fighting, "It’s dangerous here, you don’t know martial arts, if you get accidentally injured, it won’t be good."

Jing Shu nodded, "Alright."

Gu Ning led the way in front, Jing Shu followed behind.

Jing Shu was trying very hard to move forward, trying not to hold Gu Ning back, yet she was terrified out of her wits, her legs still weak, fell after just a few steps.

She simply couldn’t keep up with Gu Ning who was clearing the way ahead.

Gu Ning, seeing her keep falling, turned back to glance at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu didn’t know if she was overthinking it or if at this moment her heart was too sensitive, seeing Gu Ning’s slightly displeased face, she thought he was angry, that he was going to scold her again.

She bit her lip, suddenly hating herself.

In the end, Gu Ning came back, lifted her up without a word, and said to her, "If you can’t walk, I’ll carry you out. Don’t be afraid, we can escape, you’ll be fine. As for those who want to harm you, they will be brought to justice."
