Chapter 55

The young one was momentarily bewildered, but soon Pei Chiyao completed the transaction.

Seeing that the small brocade box was worth a staggering five billion, Zhi Yao suddenly felt a profound sense of imbalance.

After all, five billion could buy an absurd number of milk teas!

"I'll put it on you when we get back."

Having completed the deal, Pei Chiyao swiftly headed for the exit.

However, before he could leave, Zhi Yao's body suddenly jolted.

The familiar sensation soon followed.

She hurriedly bit down on Pei Chiyao's sleeve, and from her state, he immediately understood what was happening.

"What... what do we do... Pei... Pei Chiyao..." Zhi Yao uttered softly. If she transformed here, she would absolutely be surrounded and gawked at!

"Don't worry." Pei Chiyao reassured her. "I know the owner of this cruise ship; I'll have him prepare a room."

With that, Pei Chiyao summoned a waiter, who promptly provided him with a room key.

As he turned to head upstairs, Gu Changlin stubbornly intervened once more.

"Young Master Pei..."

Before he could finish, Pei Chiyao cut him off, "Get out of my way! I don't have time for your nonsense!"

"Young Master Pei!" Gu Changlin roared. "If you don't leave the jade pendant here today, you won't be leaving this place!"

As if the fallen Pei family was worth offending!

For the little lady, he would go to any lengths!

Zhi Yao could barely contain herself any longer. Why... why did it have to happen now, of all times?

She gritted her teeth, holding on fiercely to Pei Chiyao's sleeve, terrified that she might cry out at any moment.

But Gu Changlin showed no signs of backing down.

Pei Chiyao's expression suddenly darkened.

Before he could speak, Gu Changlin pulled out a gun from his pocket, cocked it, and aimed it directly at Pei Chiyao's head. "Young Master Pei, my apologies! I'll count to three. If you hand over the jade pendant, we'll consider the Gu family indebted to you, and you can collect that favor or the five billion from us whenever you wish. But if you don't hand it over... then you'll be leaving your life here today."

Gu Changlin had become utterly brazen!

Upon hearing this, Pei Chiyao finally deigned to cast him a glance.

"Threaten me?" He let out a cold laugh. "Who do you think you are?"

Gu Changlin declared, "For the little lady's sake, I would sacrifice my life without hesitation!"

"Three..."

"Two!"

"One!"

"Pei Chiyao!"

Seeing Pei Chiyao remain motionless, Gu Changlin could no longer restrain himself.

At that very moment, Pei Chiyao suddenly sprang into action.

With one arm holding Zhi Yao, he took advantage of Gu Changlin's momentary distraction and swiftly kicked his wrist.

In an instant, Gu Changlin fired his gun, but it was too late. As the bullet left the barrel, the gun fell from his hand.
