The crisp sound of footsteps stopped, and Gu Lingfeng's gaze swept across everyone present. All those who met his gaze lowered their heads, because Gu Lingfeng had an imposing aura, no one would dare to look him in the eye, except, of course, Qin Ran.

Qin Ran hadn't thought that Gu Lingfeng would be here as a rain in time. When he heard Gu Lingfeng say that he was his woman, he became slightly flustered. After meeting eyes with Gu Lingfeng for a short time, he unconsciously shifted his gaze away.

"Hello, Director Gu." Everyone gave a low respectful greeting as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

In the Gu Clan, other than Old Man Gu, Gu Lingfeng was the sky, the earth. To put it more exaggeratedly, every word he said was like an imperial edict. After Liu Yun and Liu Duo's descriptions, many people assumed that Qin Ran was the kind of woman who relied on her body to rise up. But now, it was different. The president of the Gu Clan, Gu Lingfeng, had actually personally admitted that Qin Ran was his woman and was even trying to protect her. This shocked everyone. It seemed that this Qin Ran was not simple at all.

"Why isn't anyone saying anything?" No one dared to come out and admit it, Gu Lingfeng said lightly. The crowd became even more confused. Gu Lingfeng was not just talking, he was also preparing to make some practical actions. It could be said that everyone here had the mentality to watch a good show. That was to say, everyone had part in this matter, but no one would admit it. No one would be stupid enough to stick such a big hole in their body.

This was within Gu Lingfeng's expectations. Step by step, Gu Lingfeng walked to Qin Ran's side and the two of them stood together, a perfect match. Gu Lingfeng asked Qin Ran, "Who said anything about you just now? Point it out. "

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat at these words. Was Director Gu trying to be serious? If he said a few words, would he die? He even asked Qin Ran to identify him directly? If this Qin Ran just used a little bit of caution, none of them would be able to escape.

Earlier, someone must have said something bad in a loud voice so that Qin Ran could hear. But now, everyone was regretting their decision to come here and join in on the fun.

Qin Ran shook his head and didn't point out anyone's problem. Everyone was relieved when they saw this, and a small stone fell from their hearts. They didn't expect Qin Ran to not say anything and just let everyone here go.

Even so, Gu Lingfeng did not plan to forget about it. The reason Qin Ran was criticized like this was definitely because of him, and he also understood that more or less everyone present had a share of the blame, but right now, the most important issue was to set an example. This way, everyone would know that Qin Ran was his woman, and they could not afford to offend him.

She tried her best to recall the scene she saw when she first arrived. Qin Ran was now facing her, and his back was probably facing her previously. At that time, Qin Ran seemed to be staring at a certain direction. Relying on his memories, Gu Lingfeng looked towards the direction that Qin Ran was looking. Immediately, he saw Liu Yun and Liu Duo, who had been hiding behind Liu Yun.

Gu Lingfeng walked around Qin Ran and headed towards the two of them. His intuition told him that Liu Yun and Liu Duo had something to do with this matter. Right now, Liu Duo was extremely afraid. This was a fear that came from having done something bad and from having a guilty conscience. Gu Lingfeng walked closer to the two of them and bent down slightly as he looked at Liu Duo.

That impeccably handsome face was right in front of her. However, Liu Duo did not feel happy at all. In fact, there was even a tinge of horror.

"You're afraid." Gu Lingfeng's soft voice rang out. Liu Duo realized that Gu Lingfeng was talking to his, and could not help but shiver. These words were spoken with certainty, not doubt. In other words, Gu Lingfeng had already discovered some clues from Liu Duo.

Liu Duo shook her head nervously, not restraining her emotions in the slightest as she recorded the expression of fear on her face. She couldn't help but pull at Liu Yun, wanting him to help her. However, Liu Yun could be said to be unable to protect herself, so how could she still have the strength to help her?

After carefully inspecting her work, Gu Lingfeng discovered that this girl looked a little familiar. After pondering for a moment, Gu Lingfeng suddenly remembered, he had used his work to place an overloaded workload on Qin Ran before being demoted. Why would such a small employee be here? Looking at Liu Yun, who was standing beside Liu Duo, Gu Lingfeng felt reassured.

"Security!" Gu Lingfeng did not want to waste words with these two men. From Qin Ran's appearance, it was likely that these two men had taken the lead in bullying her. Even though Liu Yun did not want to say anything, Liu Duo was definitely going to be an example to them today.

The two security guards hurried over and respectfully shouted, "Director Gu."

"Bring her out. Today is the Gu Clan's anniversary. How can we just let people in on such an important day?" After Gu Lingfeng finished speaking, the security guard knew what to do.

As a young girl, the two security guards did not dare to use too much strength. Liu Duo was already scared to the point that her legs had gone limp, but she did not expect that before the banquet had even started, she would have already been kicked out by Gu Lingfeng.

At first, she wanted to ask Liu Yun for forgiveness or something, but when she turned around, she found that Liu Yun had her head down, her hands tightly clutching her skirt. It was obvious that she was nervous too. Liu Duo knew that no one could help her, yet she was unwilling to be thrown out just like that. She was so angry that she started crying.

"Who else?" Gu Lingfeng asked Qin Ran again. Qin Ran was also very surprised to see Liu Duo being led out like that. Since everyone knew that she was a woman that Gu Lingfeng had protected, it seemed that no one dared to touch her again.

Qin Ran hadn't done anything in the first place, and now that it was over, she just shook her head and said straightforwardly, "No." Everyone's heart dropped. It could be said that Qin Ran had the power to control life and death in his hands. Feng Shui flowed in circles. They had just discussed all sorts of rumors about their relationship, yet they had actually encountered such a situation in the next second.

Gu Lingfeng nodded his head and looked at the woman beside him who was as beautiful as a fairy. He then took her hand and led her past the crowd. Everyone else consciously made a detour for Qin Ran and Gu Lingfeng. Qin Ran couldn't help but think that if Gu Lingfeng was in the underworld right now, with so many neat rows of people around them, they would have to call him sister-in-law in unison.

Just thinking about that scene, Qin Ran could not help but chuckle. Seeing that she was in a good mood, the corners of Gu Lingfeng's mouth slightly curled up as he led Qin Ran to the lounge.
