Chapter 42

Tao Yao was taken aback and stepped back.

"Who are you?" She shouted in a deep voice.

Taoling and the others were also taken aback, and stepped back to protect Lu Hao.

The man glanced over several people quickly, and when he saw that the room was full of young girls and children, he was vaguely relieved.

He clutched his injured left arm, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to intrude, please forgive me for the offense.

Just now, an assassin broke into the private room next door, and my subordinates were all killed by the assassin in order to protect me.

Those people are still chasing and killing me, and they also invited a few girls to give me a convenience. "

Tao Yao and the others saw that he had a handsome appearance, even if he was injured, his noble temperament would not be damaged, and most importantly, he was quite polite, so they instantly felt relieved.

"Then I don't know who you are? Why did you get assassinated?" To be cautious, Tao Yao asked.

The man smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "Same roommates fight each other, brothers fight each other."

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, this person is really direct.

Does that mean that the assassin was sent by a brother in the family?
The man in front of him looks very young, but he has a noble demeanor, obviously from a great family.

And the open and secret fights within the big family are indeed very fierce, and there are not a few brothers fighting each other.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside.

Soon, the footsteps stopped outside the door.

Tao Yao was startled, and said to the man, "You hide under the table first."

The man looked at the table and hesitated.

Seeing this, Tao Yao stretched out her hand and pushed him, "Saving your life is the most important thing at this time, why are you being pretentious?"

The man was staggered by her push, finally gritted his teeth, and got under the table shortly.

Tao Yao beckoned to Tao Ling a few times, motioning to sit at the table.

They were all extremely smart, and quickly understood her intentions, and quickly sat down at the table.

After a few people were seated, the door was kicked open.

A group of masked men in black broke in.

Tao Yao and the others showed fear, and said in a strong tone: "You, who are you?"

The man in black quickly looked around the room, saw nothing suspicious, and then withdrew.

Seeing this, several people were all relieved.

Tao Yao hurried over and closed the door again.

The man blushed and came out from under the table.

He probably had never done such a thing before, felt very aggrieved, and stuttered, "Many, thank you girls."

"And me!" Lu Hao couldn't help but said, "I blocked it for you just now."

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Thank you, young master."

"It's more or less the same." Lu Hao said old-fashionedly, crossing his arms.

"Those people can't find me, and I'm afraid they will turn back. I shouldn't stay any longer. I will repay the kindness of the girls and young master today." The man cupped his hands.

Tao Yao shook her head, "It's nothing more than a little effort, young master, take care of yourself."

The man nodded, and swept out of the window again.

Tao Ling still held the half-eaten pastry in her hand, patted her heart and said, "It's scary to death." As she spoke, she took a bite, suppressing her shock.

Tao Yao and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was the first time they encountered such a thing.

"Dong dong!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Several people felt tense again, thinking that the assassin had gone and returned.

"It's okay, it's not an assassin." Tao Yao calmed down and said in relief.

Assassins always kicked the door directly, so they would not knock on the door so politely.

Sure enough, Gu Changqing's voice came from the next moment, "Sister-in-law, it's me, Gu Changqing, are you all right?"

Several people let out a long sigh of relief.

Tao Yao immediately went to open the door, "Master Gu, why are you here?"

Seeing that she was fine, Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Just now there were assassins in the theater, I was worried that you would be disturbed, so I asked the buddy about your private room, so I came to have a look."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, we are fine. By the way, are the assassins gone?" Tao Yao asked.

"Let's go." Gu Changqing nodded.

"That's good." Tao Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back home." Gu Changqing said.

"No, no, Mr. Gu should send the old lady back first." Tao Yao said.

"My mother has already gone back. Madam sister-in-law doesn't need to refuse. I don't trust you if there is an assassin incident today." Gu Changqing said.

Tao Yao thought of the sisters and Lu Xiaohao, so she nodded and agreed, "Then I will trouble Mrs. Gu."

"What? Jiu Yuan is not here, I will take good care of her family for her." Gu Changqing said.

Tao Yao felt a little guilty when she heard the words.

In the afternoon outside Chen Guogong's mansion, Lu Jiuyuan was still speaking ill of Gu Changqing in front of her. Compared with this, Lu Jiuyuan...uh, a bit too much.

The assassins probably all left, and the theater has resumed its bustle.

A group of people followed Gu Changqing and left the theater.

Gu Changqing accompanied Tao Yao, and first sent Tao Ling and the others back to Tao Mansion.

When the carriage arrived in front of Tao Mansion, it stopped.

Gu Changqing got off the horse and walked to the carriage.

The coachman had already put away the horse-stool.

Tao Ling came out first.

She lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage.

Tao Lian came down next.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she was about to get out of the carriage, but she missed her foot and was about to fall. Tao Ling hurried forward and hugged her.

But she herself is thin and has little strength, holding Tao Lian like this, her feet are instantly crushed.

Seeing that she was about to fall, at this moment, a powerful big hand stuck to her back and supported her.

She froze for a moment, and quickly put Tao Lian down, at the same time, the big hand was removed.

She turned her head to take a look, but met the man's warm eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, her small face was inexplicably hot, "Master Gu, just now you... thank you."

There was no one else beside Gu Changqing, so he should be the one who helped her up just now.

"It's nothing more than a little effort." Gu Changqing said in a gentle voice.

Tao Lian didn't notice the strangeness of her own sister, she patted her heart and said, "I was scared to death just now, fortunately, Second Sister, you caught me."

Tao Ling pinched her face helplessly, "Be careful when you walk, I almost fell."

Tao Lian rubbed his eyes, pouted and said, "I'm sleepy."

Tao Ling shook her head, feeling a little helpless against her.

After a while, Tao Shu also came down.

Tao Yao poked her head out of the window and said, "Second sister, third sister, Lian Lian, then you go in first, I'm going back."

"Alright, be careful on the road." The three of Tao Ling nodded and warned.

"Three girls, I take my leave." Gu Changqing saluted them.

Tao Ling and the others quickly returned a salute, "Master Lao Gu."

Gu Changqing shook his head, "The three girls are serious." After saying that, he got on the horse.

After watching him and Tao Yao go away, Tao Ling and the three entered the Tao Mansion.

In the carriage, Lu Hao had already lay down and fell asleep, Tao Yao took a thin blanket and covered him.

Thinking of something, she raised the curtains and said to Gu Changqing who was riding beside the carriage, "By the way, Mr. Gu, I forgot to ask how your blind date went tonight?"
