Guan Ju looked at Guan Sheng coldly. She clenched her fist with her other free hand and launched an attack at his head.

If he was hit by this punch, Guan Sheng would definitely faint. If she had been stronger, she might even have killed him on the spot.

However, everything turned out differently from what Guan Ju had expected.

“Pa.” A crisp sound rang out.

Her fist did not hit Guan Sheng’s head. Instead, it was blocked by his arm.

Guan Sheng looked at his arm and frowned.

“You unfilial daughter. You plotted against me with Luo Han, and now you’re trying to take my life. Tell me, were you raised by him? Did you come back to the family to usurp my position?”

In the end, Guan Sheng’s face looked twisted.

It had to be so!

Otherwise, how did he lose the corporation that he had painstakingly built over the years? Things had been going just fine, but when Guan Ju returned, the corporation’s investments started failing frequently, and their projects encountered problems and their losses kept mounting.

It was all a conspiracy!

“Nonsense,” Guan Ju retorted coldly and launched another attack.

She wanted to save Luo Han.

Throughout her years in this world, no one had ever cared about her. They just kept trying to obtain benefits by using and abusing her.

Whether it was the boss of the assassin organization or her father, everyone she met was the same…

Except for Luo Han.

He would think of her, treat her well, and give her everything she wanted.

Their daily, love-filled interactions, beautiful jewelry, and even the Guan Corporation…

He gave her all the beautiful things and memories in the world.

She could not afford to let anything happen to him!

Guan Ju’s attacks became more and more fierce. Guan Sheng kept retreating, his eyes filled with ferocity.

“Unfilial daughter, I’ll clean you up today!”

Guan Sheng took out a folding military dagger from his right pocket. The dagger was sharp and gleamed with a cold light. As long as it touched someone, they would definitely bleed.

However, at this time, Guan Ju’s body became uncontrollably numb.

The drug had taken effect!

She must have inhaled a lot of it during the intense fight just now. Guan Sheng was fine. He had probably taken the antidote long ago.

Sensing that Guan Ju’s movements had slowed down, Guan Sheng sneered.

“This drug doesn’t feel good, does it?”

As he spoke, he took advantage of Guan Ju’s weakness to suddenly leap off the ground and kick her in the stomach.

“Ugh.” Guan Ju was hit in the stomach and almost threw up. She took a few steps backward. She had barely stabilized her body and had not even had timeto launch another attack when her eyes suddenly widened.

“No!”

A sharp voice echoed in the room.

Guan Sheng’s dagger stopped at the right time, and he just grasped Luo Han’s neck and dragged his body in front of her. If he had used more strength just now, Luo Han would have ended his life in a coma.

Guan Ju clenched her hands uneasily.

“What, are you heartbroken?” Guan Sheng snorted and looked at Luo Han in front of him. “This gigolo is quite obsessed with you. He actually turned against me for your sake.”

“Don’t touch him.”

Guan Ju gritted her teeth and supported her body with all the strength she could muster. She could feel that the effects of the drug were getting stronger with each passing moment. Her legs were so weak that she could not stand. If this dragged on, not only would she not be able to save him, she would also be in trouble herself.

“Peng.” A white bottle was thrown to her feet.

Guan Sheng gestured with his dagger and then pointed at the bottle.

“I won’t kill you. Take a whiff.”

Guan Ju raised her eyebrows. She knew that this was the drug. She did not want to take it but, seeing Luo Han in Guan Sheng’s hands, she gritted her teeth and picked up the bottle.

After the bottle cap was opened, a sweet fragrance emerged and instantly enveloped her.

After coming into close contact with the drug, Guan Ju had no choice but to inhale it.

Guan Sheng looked at her with a satisfied smile.

“Three, two, one.”

Guan Ju fell heavily to the ground. Before she closed her eyes, her hand touched the chair behind her.
