Chapter 705: None of Your Business

The young man had an arrogant expression, and judging by the crowd surrounding him as he traveled, one could tell his family background was extraordinary; upon seeing Tang Xue, he took off his sunglasses and revealed a hint of a fawning smile.

Guo Xu, a direct descendant of the Guo Family, one of the Six Noble Houses, was currently pursuing Tang Xinyi madly.

"Guo Xu?" Tang Xinyi's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously leaned toward Chen Yu, seemingly somewhat fearful of this man.

"I came to see your sister." Guo Xu smiled slightly, then revealed a look of sorrow: "For such a beautiful girl like your sister to encounter this kind of thing, it really is a great pity."

"Thank you for your concern, but she is fine," Tang Xinyi said, steadying herself.

"It's good that she's fine, haha, where are you going?" Guo Xu glanced at Chen Yu beside Tang Xinyi: "Who is this?"

"Chen Yu," Chen Yu replied indifferently.

"I wasn't asking you." Guo Xu glanced at Chen Yu, then looked straight at Tang Xinyi: "Xinyi, who is he? What is your relationship with him?"

"Guo Xu." Tang Xinyi suddenly raised her head, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "Who I associate with and who I deal with has nothing to do with you at all, and I ask that you do not use this tone to question me; it is impossible for us."

Guo Xu stared fixedly at Tang Xinyi, as if he wanted to see through to her heart.

And Tang Xinyi raised her head, meeting Guo Xu's gaze directly without flinching.

"Heh, alright then, you've got courage." Guo Xu laughed: "Then I'll lay my cards on the table today; Tang Xinyi, I like you, and I want to marry you. Are you going to agree or not?"

"It is impossible between us," Tang Xinyi said decisively.

"Impossible?" The smile on Guo Xu's face gradually turned evil; he threw the flower basket in his hand heavily onto the ground, his expression becoming ferocious, and he leaned close to Tang Xinyi: "Don't you forget, the biggest client of White-robed Onmyoji Group has a very good relationship with me."

"And don't you forget, thirty percent of your orders come from our Guo Group, and right now, your Tang Clan's profits are sliding severely; whether it's investors or the client base, they have absolutely no trust in you."

"Do you believe that if I put in a little effort, your shareholders will defect one after another? When that time comes, will White-robed Onmyoji Group still be yours?"

"Guo Xu, use whatever tactics you have; in this world, not everyone is as devoid of morality as you," Tang Xinyi said coldly.

"Heh, many people in this world are driven solely by profit. We are all businesspeople; you're talking to me about businesspeople having morality? I'm afraid only your stubborn old grandfather would think that one must have a conscience to be a person."

"But I still have to thank him; if it weren't for him suddenly going insane, ignoring money to do charity and look after the poor, our Guo Clan wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation and snatch many of your Tang Clan's clients," Guo Xu laughed.

"Brother Chen, let's go." Tang Xinyi's hands were trembling slightly as she pulled Chen Yu to leave.

"Stop, did I tell you that you could leave?" Guo Xu waved his hand, and the several bodyguards behind him stepped forward in unison, blocking Tang Xinyi and Chen Yu.

Guo Xu walked forward, staring at the hand Tang Xinyi had clasped with Chen Yu, his expression turning somewhat ugly, and he pointed at Chen Yu: "Let go."

"If a beauty took the initiative to hold your hand, would you let go?" Chen Yu looked at Guo Xu with a look of pity for the mentally disabled; he could feel that Tang Xinyi's small hand was slightly cold, clearly showing she was very angry.

"Tang Xinyi, I'll ask you one more time, who is he?" Guo Xu pointed at Chen Yu.

"He is my friend, or rather, my man. No matter who he is, it has nothing to do with you," Tang Xinyi said coldly.

"You are a woman I, Guo Xu, have set my sights on. Holding hands with another man right in front of me, who do you think I, Guo Xu, am?" Guo Xu roared in rage; suddenly, he snatched a rectangular box from the hands of a bodyguard.

He opened the box and took out a specially made crossbow; this crossbow was made of composite materials and had immense power, capable of piercing a steel plate within thirty meters after being loaded.

He grabbed the crossbow, loaded it, aimed it at Chen Yu, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kid, I'll give you one minute to disappear from my sight and promise never to associate with Tang Xinyi again, otherwise I will shoot through your head."

"What are you doing, Guo Xu? Are you crazy?" Tang Xinyi was startled; she stood in front of Chen Yu and shouted: "Put the crossbow down, or I'm calling the police."

"Heh, Tang Xinyi, you are truly too naive. Do you think I would fall for that?" Guo Xu sneered: "For trash like this kid, who knows how many lives disappear every day? You have thirty seconds left."

"Please put it down, okay? Can't we talk this over properly?" Tang Xinyi's tears fell; she compromised. Chen Yu was her benefactor, and she didn't want to drag him into this mess.

She knew Guo Xu's character; Guo Xu was a bastard who would kill without blinking. If she really provoked him, he was truly capable of shooting Chen Yu.

"Heh, wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?" Guo Xu said coldly: "I've been pursuing you for years, but have you ever taken me seriously? Heh, if you don't accept me, your Tang Clan's White-robed Onmyoji Group will face bankruptcy."

"In other words," Guo Xu leaned into Tang Xinyi's ear and laughed sinisterly: "If you accept me, the Tang Clan will still be eaten by me until not even the dregs are left, but you still can't refuse, because this is a political marriage."

"Let Chen Yu go, and we can discuss everything," Tang Xinyi's eyes were filled with tears.

"Let him go? Sure." Guo Xu laughed; suddenly, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the crossbow. With a 'whoosh' sound, a crossbow bolt shot toward Chen Yu's neck.

He was extremely close to Chen Yu and was aiming for a vital spot; this guy never intended to let Chen Yu go at all.

"Guo Xu, you have no integrity!" Tang Xinyi's face turned deathly pale, and she lunged forward, trying to block the arrow.

But the distance between them was too short, and the crossbow's speed was extremely fast; the bolt narrowly grazed her face, and a lock of her hair was cut off by the bolt.

Whoosh, the bolt flew straight toward Chen Yu's neck, and a cruel smile appeared on Guo Xu's face; he looked forward to seeing Chen Yu fall into a pool of blood.

But soon, his smile froze on his face.

That crossbow bolt had been caught easily by Chen Yu in his hand. Chen Yu glanced at the bolt in his hand and discovered it was made of pure steel, and the crossbow in Guo Xu's hand was also specially modified.

At such a close distance, to a certain extent, the power of this crossbow was even greater than that of a gun. If Chen Yu were an ordinary person, this arrow would have been enough to take his life.

This guy simply treated human life as a joke. A fire of rage ignited in Chen Yu's heart; he stared at Guo Xu, his eyes filled with killing intent.
