Long Yifan: "..." Just my daily life!
Gu Jin hurriedly tried to stop them,
"Stop! Please! I am serious! He didn’t hurt me!"
Old Wu turned around as he started connecting the star path,
"Jin, don’t worry! We will seek justice for you! You don’t need to be afraid of him! We are here! We will protect you!"
Gu Jin shook her head,
"No! I am telling the truth he saved me!"
Whoosh.
Old Wu had already attacked Long Yifan. A dark red fireball made its way towards Long Yifan. It may seem like a normal attack but since it was a super spell, only Long Yifan and Old Wu how much intensity it had.
If it touched Long Yifan even a bit he would be burned completely.
Yet Long Yifan didn’t move away and calmly waited for the fireball.
Within a microsecond the fireball reached Long Yifan and just when it was about to touch Long Yifan, a protective barrier deflated it.
Seeing the slight crack in the barrier, Long Yifan chuckled as he said,
"Elder Wu you are truly not showing any mercy."
Old Wu chuckled coldly as he said,
"Oh? Shouldn’t you blame yourself? Don’t you feel ashamed after threatening a girl?"
Long Yifan’s lip twitched.
Did he threaten Gu Jin?
Nope!
"Since you are so merciless, then don’t blame me for being ruthless too." Long Yifan chuckled and started connecting his star path.
By this time Old Xiang and Old Fan had already connected the star path too.
Gu Jin’s head was aching just after seeing the scene and she tried to calm them down as she said,
"Please wait! Listen to me!"
Old Xiang consoled Gu Jin,
"Jin trust us! With us here, he can’t harm you!"
Gu Jin knew that they were only concerned for her safety, but she also knew that Long Yifan was not their enemy. In fact, he had saved her from a dangerous situation.
"Please, just hear me out," Gu Jin pleaded, hoping to diffuse the tension in the room.
Old Fan and Old Xiang exchanged hesitant glances, while Old Wu remained steadfast in his determination to protect Gu Jin.
"Jin, we only want what’s best for you," Old Fan said gently, his expression softening slightly.
Gu Jin took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before she began to explain.
"Long Yifan didn’t kidnap me. He saved me from a dangerous situation," Gu Jin started, her voice steady despite the nervous flutter in her chest.
"He’s not my enemy, he’s my ally. I owe him my life," she continued, meeting their gazes with earnest sincerity.
Old Xiang furrowed his brow, clearly conflicted by Gu Jin’s words,
"Hm? What happened?"
Long Yifan was done with his preparation by now, however seeing that Gu Jin had controlled the elders, he stopped.
Gu Jin hurriedly explained to them,
"In fact that day..."
And then she told them everything. Of course, her story had some loopholes such as how she ended up in Long Yifan’s mansion.
Yet she tried to make it as logical as possible.
Old Xiang frowned and looked at Long Yifan warily as he asked,
"Are you sure that he wasn’t the kidnapper?"
Gu Jin nodded her head with certainty.
Not once did she doubt that it was Long Yifan who kidnapped her.
Reason?
Well because of her analysis.
First of all, why would Long Yifan kidnap her? Even though she did have enmity with him, she had heard Liu Wang say Young Master Sang’s name.
Also, even if Long Yifan was the one who kidnapped her, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring her to his mansion when he already had he under his control.
"But who exactly kidnapped you if not him?" Old Wu asked with a frown.
"Someone named Young Master Sang." Gu Jin replied.
"Why?"
