Chapter 759 — Spare Him, Please! Spare Him, Please!

Yet the fact that the Mighty General had barked out — and barked out at the very instant she stepped from the car — was clearly a warning to her! He did not want Gu Mengyao to enter the villa, because there was danger inside!

Gu Mengyao felt deeply moved and deeply grieved all at once. The Mighty General had kept her company through so many lonely days and years, and now he lay on the floor, neither alive nor dead, though from the look of him he plainly would not survive...

In that moment, Gu Mengyao's heart shattered. Tears burst from her eyes, and heedless of everything, she flung herself down onto the floor and gathered the Mighty General into her arms.

"Mighty General, what happened to you? Don't die..." That feeling of losing a family member left the young miss at a loss. In that instant she felt utterly helpless, watching the Mighty General beaten to death before her eyes with nothing she could do.

"Who are you?" Qing Bo knew of the bond between the young miss and the Mighty General, and he too was furious; he fixed Yükun with a cold stare.

"You're Li Fu, aren't you? I've heard of you." Yükun knew he had been found out, yet he was in no hurry to flee! For against Qing Bo, a fellow expert of the late Huang rank, escape would not be easy in the first place! And Qing Bo's level was slightly above his own — the man had already reached the peak of the late Huang rank. The only difference was that Yükun was an inner-family expert while Qing Bo was an outer-family expert, so although Qing Bo's rank was somewhat higher, their true strength was about equal!

If it came to a hard clash here and now, the outcome was anyone's guess. Yükun would not take such a risk — it would likely leave both of them badly wounded. Before coming to the villa, he had made a brief investigation of the people around Wei Zhao, and given the Yu family's web of information, an expert like Qing Bo could not possibly have escaped the Yu family's notice!

The Yu family kept files on nearly every expert in the Min family, and Qing Bo was one of them.

"Who exactly are you? What have you come here for? And you dared strike down Miss Gu's dog?" Seeing Gu Mengyao's grief, Qing Bo had already resolved to keep this man here.

"The Yu family. Yükun." At this point Yükun made no secret of his name, because even if he withheld it now, Li Fu could later learn his identity from Fatty Lai!

Besides, if he did not declare his Yu family ties, then judging by Qing Bo's expression, the man seemed unlikely to let the matter drop. Yükun did not want a fight — he knew he could not beat Qing Bo, and Qing Bo could not hold him either; a hard struggle between them would only leave both sides maimed.

"The Yu family? Yükun?" Qing Bo was taken aback — he had not expected the man before him to be of the Yu family! Qing Bo naturally knew of the Yu family's affairs, and his face darkened at once. That colossal beast, the Yu family, was something even Gu Pengzhan could not afford to provoke, let alone Qing Bo himself!

"Li Fu, you're an outer-family expert at the peak of the late Huang rank, aren't you?" Yükun glanced at Qing Bo and said mildly, "I'm an inner-family expert of the late Huang rank. You can't hold me."

"You — you mean to just walk away like this?" Qing Bo was immediately caught between a rock and a hard place. If Yükun's strength was truly as he claimed, then Qing Bo really could do nothing to him! Inner-family experts were always somewhat stronger than outer-family ones, and the two of them were now evenly matched, so to speak. And Qing Bo also feared his Yu family standing, and dared not strike rashly.

"And if I don't?" Seeing Qing Bo's wariness, Yükun could not help but speak arrogantly.

Gu Mengyao was overcome with grief. The Mighty General in her arms seemed to stir, and a rush of joy went through her; she opened her eyes wide — but the Mighty General never moved again.

"Mighty General, please don't die, don't die..." Gu Mengyao had never imagined that one day the Mighty General would leave her. She had once dreamed that when she had children of her own, she would let the Mighty General play with them, just as she and the Mighty General had played together long ago...

"Yaoyao, don't be so sad... maybe Arrowbrand Bro has a way?" Shen Yushu saw that the Mighty General was barely breathing in and hardly breathing out, and knew in her heart that he likely could not be saved, but seeing Gu Mengyao's grief she hurried to comfort her.

In truth Shen Yushu felt wretched herself. Her bond with the Mighty General was not as deep as Gu Mengyao's, but after all, they had often played together, and she too had grown used to his presence.

At the mention of Wei Zhao, a trace of resolute hatred flashed through Gu Mengyao's beautiful eyes. She raised her head and said to Wei Zhao, word by word, "Wei Zhao, kill this murderer for me!"

"Heh. All right." Hearing the young miss's words, Wei Zhao nodded very calmly.

Standing to one side, he had long since recognized this black-clad young man as the very one he had met outside the pharmacy in Yanjing City on the night of the auction! Hearing his name, he understood at once — so this was the Yükun who had gone looking for Fatty Lai before!

Hmph. He had not yet gone looking for the man, and the man had come knocking at his door? Wei Zhao was not one to stir up trouble, but when someone came to bully him, he would never simply suffer it.

The Yu family, was it... Wei Zhao drew a deep breath. Very well, Yu family — since you have appeared in my life once again, then do not blame me for showing no mercy.

"Come to steal my fragment, have you?" Wei Zhao walked toward Yükun and asked mildly, looking at him.

"Steal? This was always ours, the Yu family's. Even if you took it, it would be of no use to you." Yukun still harbored some misgivings when speaking to Qing Bo, but where Wei Zhao was concerned, he held him in no regard at all. The Yu family's records made no mention of Wei Zhao being a formidable fighter.

And so it never even occurred to him to consider Wei Zhao a formidable fighter. A mere personal guard to Gu Mengyao, how capable could he possibly be? At most he might be a retired special forces soldier or a martial arts athlete of some sort; he could not be any truly formidable fighter.

Even Qing Bo, who stood at Gu Pengzhan's side, had only reached the peak of the late Yellow Rank. The guards attending the eldest young miss of the Chu family could hardly surpass Qing Bo, surely?

"What use is the fragment?" Wei Zhao asked.

"You think I would tell you? Besides, I don't know either." Yukun regarded Wei Zhao with proud disdain.

"Oh, then you have lost your reason to exist. You may die now." Wei Zhao struck without warning, the force of his presence released in an instant.

"Xiao Yi, spare him!" Qing Bo was startled. He had not expected Wei Zhao to end Yukun's life on the spot in the middle of a conversation, and in his alarm he rushed to intervene.

How could a member of the Yu family die inside this villa? The trouble that would follow would be endless, would it not? How could Gu Pengzhan possibly cope with that? How could he be a match for a colossus like the Yu family?

"The peak of the late Yellow Rank...?" Yukun was startled by the presence Wei Zhao suddenly unleashed. He had barely gotten the words out when Wei Zhao's palm had already landed on his chest, leaving Yukun no chance even to dodge! RH
