Chapter 1118: She Ultimately Cannot Bear to Hurt Him

An Mingji’s disobedience, and his attitude of wanting to break free at all costs, even to the point of resorting to physical action, completely darkened Gu Jin’s expression.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with hostility as she stared at An Mingji, filled with both hate and love, completely unsure of what to do with him.

Seeing the person in her hands struggle more fiercely, even chaotically, Gu Jin gritted her teeth with force, raised her hand high, and slapped it down towards An Mingji’s face with great strength.

"Miss Gu!" Allen exclaimed in surprise.

The airflow around accelerated, and Gu Jin clearly sensed someone rushing over.

The identity was already obvious.

Unfortunately, Allen was fast, but not as fast as her.

Her slender, jade-like hand stopped about an inch away from An Mingji’s handsome and delicate face.

In the end, she still couldn’t bear to hurt him.

An Mingji’s struggling got stronger, Gu Jin’s face clouded over, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, finally suppressing the fire in her heart.

She assured herself not to rush, not to take action.

An Mingji was out of sorts, surely he’d fallen victim to some underhanded trick, she needed to stay composed.

Allen arrived in front of the two, his face of tense panic eased somewhat due to Gu Jin’s halted hand.

Still, his heart was restless.

His eyes constantly watched Gu Jin’s hands, fearing that at the next moment, she would strike the family head out of discord.

"Come on, why aren’t you here yet?!"

"It really hurts, please come quickly, save me..."

The voice in his ear grew urgent.

An Mingji’s previously expressionless face also became anxious.

Finally, in a moment of Gu Jin’s lack of control, he broke free.

Once An Mingji was free to move, his pace was noticeably faster than before, he jogged along the voice.

"Little An!" Gu Jin.

"Family Head!" Allen.

The worried calls from those behind him, An Mingji couldn’t hear at all.

His mind was filled with the urgent calling voice of Gu Jin in his ear.

Standing behind, Gu Jin watched him rushing toward the darkness frantically as if possessed.

Enduring again and again, she couldn’t hold back anymore, raised her hand, and sent a burst of spiritual power out.

She did not harm An Mingji, the spiritual power in her hand touched the sleep acupoint on his opponent.

Gu Jin thought that this would finally make An Mingji settle down.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished, his sleep acupoint struck by spiritual power, only paused for a mere two seconds before continuing his unconscious progress.

Gu Jin couldn’t help but curse softly, quickly chased him.

After catching up with him, as An Mingji struggled again, she raised her hand and pointed at the center of his brow.

Vast spiritual power from her hand rushed crazily into An Mingji’s body.

"Ugh..."

An Mingji uttered a sound of pain, his dull eyes gradually regained clarity, his face expression also slowly became vivid.

"Little An, are you okay?"

A gentle voice rang in his ear, carrying a hint of probing intention.

The stabbing pain in An Mingji’s brain eased due to this familiar gentle voice.

He raised his eyes, his gaze dimly locked on the fuzzy figure before him.

"Ah Jin?" An Mingji’s voice was hoarse, an echo of the kind of rasp from just waking up, with a low nasal tone.

Seeing the person regain consciousness, Gu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the hand that applied spiritual power on An Mingji’s arm also relaxed.

"Yes, it’s me. What’s with you? Why are you here in the middle of the night, what happened earlier?"

An Mingji didn’t quite catch her question, his blurred eyes gradually turned clear, finally discerning the situation before him.

On the desolate road, several car lights shone upon him and the people around.

Even though Gu Jin’s demeanor appeared gentle, he still detected a trace of hard-to-conceal hostility between her brows; the people standing next to her, Allen included, all displayed worry and fear on their faces.

"What’s going on?" An Mingji furrowed his brows, completely in the dark about the current situation.

Gu Jin: "You don’t remember?"

An Mingji lightly shook his head, then suddenly paused his motion.

The headache eased, and some blurry memories surfaced in his mind.

Suddenly, An Mingji’s face changed dramatically, he scanned Gu Jin before him with worried eyes, panic visible in his gaze.

"Ah Jin, are you all right? Why did you ask me to save you, is someone hurting you?!"

He remembered!

Earlier, he heard Gu Jin’s call for help, he was anxious and worried, then he seemed to have done something.

Gu Jin’s expression changed slightly: "When did I ask you to save me?"

"Just now, you kept calling me, saying you were in pain, in agony, asking me to save you..."

At this point, An Mingji’s words halted.

The situation in front of him was apparent.

Gu Jin was fine, Allen and the others were unaffected, it was he who was out of sorts.

Everyone’s worried eyes had been fixated on him the whole time.

An Mingji’s face grew murky, he glanced sharply and darkly at Allen.

Since Gu Jin was nearby, he slightly restrained his demeanor, gently closed his eyes, raised his hand to press against the center of his brow, and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

This question was directed at Allen.

Allen promptly came forward to explain the details of what happened earlier.

As fate would have it, late at night, Allen received a call from M-side.

M-side forces sent another group into the mine tonight, equipped with weapons.

All were highly destructive, the most advanced elites.

These weapons were purchased from the Darwin Family.

They intended to seek revenge for those sacrificed inside the mine.

The final outcome wasn’t favorable, most of them ended up sacrificing themselves.

Not knowing what they encountered inside, M-side decided to abandon the gold mine, calling Allen late at night to relay the news.

Such a major issue, he couldn’t make the decision alone, went upstairs to inform the family head, only to discover the person inside was nowhere to be seen.

Everything that happened afterward was laid before everyone.

The more An Mingji listened, the darker his handsome face became.

Clearly, he had been schemed against!

Even when he was completely unaware, in ignorance.

Gu Jin, understanding the course of events, also knowing that they nearly got caught, her expression wasn’t much better.

In the dead of night, discussing it on the road didn’t yield any conclusion, and the cold mountain wind continued to blow.

She glanced at An Mingji’s thin sleepwear: "The night wind is chilly, let’s go back and discuss it."

"Alright."

An Mingji also noticed that Gu Jin was wearing thin clothes, so he naturally wouldn’t oppose.

He slowly exhaled, suppressed his anger and the urge to kill those lurking behind, reached out to pull Gu Jin’s hand, and the two headed towards the parked car.

"Why aren’t you coming yet..."

A few meters away from the car, An Mingji’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

The voice in his ear rang again, still that familiar tone.

"Please, come quickly and save me..."

"I’m in so much pain, it’s agonizing, I can’t take it anymore..."

"You must come..."

"Please come quickly..."

This familiar voice, indeed belonged to Gu Jin.

Yet she was right next to him.

An Mingji turned his head, his expression solemn, with a dangerously intense light in his eyes.
