Chapter 895: Your Men

Man Xilou showed a smile that was not a sneer. It was a look that told Gu Chaoyan not to joke around with him.

“Lady, I am a pirate, a very evil person. I am not like the young masters in the capital who are polite to girls,” Man Xilou said seriously.

Having said this, he thought for a while and walked towards Gu Chaoyan.

He could have made some explanations for this lady about how evil he was, but now his Beihai Gang were not in an advantageous situation and he needed to take a hostage as soon as possible for negotiation.

He took a few steps forward, before she released the silver needles from her hands.

Man Xilou had not expected this. He dodged the flying needles, but some still landed on him.

Man Xilou threw a look at the silver needles on himself and suddenly laughed.

No wonder this lady never showed an expression of fear. He had thought that this lady must have experienced a great deal so as to save some tricks for herself.

What a pity. The silver needles were just a fun trick for him. It would never work on him.

“Lady, your silver needles don’t work on me. Stop struggling and become my hostage.” Man Xilou said.

Gu Chaoyan smiled and raised her eyebrows. “Are you sure?”

Only then did Man Xilou feel that something was wrong.

Those were more than just the silver needles. Those silver needles were poisoned.

He had already started to feel numbness overtaking him. He looked up and saw one of the maids holding up a sword – she was clearly a very capable person in martial arts.

He weighed his own situation inside his head. It would be impossible to take anyone hostage right now. He had to leave now before he was taken hostage himself – that would be too humiliating.

Man Xilou left at the highest speed.

Sword One was about to pursue him, when Gu Chaoyan said, “It is okay.”

Sword One stopped and looked at her Elder Miss.

Gu Chaoyan decided not to kill him. For one thing, she believed that this man was very good at hiding and could be very suitable as a helper in the future and two, this man was very fun, and she would like to keep him alive. In this way, they could become friends later.

That was what Gu Chaoyan was thinking.

Sword One did not pursue that man, but now she was very alarmed – this man had already cost them a lot of energy, so if more came, it would be very troublesome.

“Sword One, no need to stay so alert. Wait for a while, and they should be back soon.” Gu Chaoyan said.

Sword One put down her sword and said helplessly, “Elder Miss, you are so capable. We are so useless compared to you.”

Gu Chaoyan chuckled.

Outside the boat.

The fight came to an end.

The Beihai Gang had a few serious casualties, while those who were able to escape ran away already, leaving behind a strong smell of blood.

Actually, that was the least Zhou Huaijin’s men could do to spare their lives. It was such a ferocious fight that the hidden guards just could not spare everyone’s life, especially those who attacked fiercely.

Not many people died; just a few of the really fearless ones. Most of them retreated, so their lives were spared.

The hidden guards put away their swords and hid away again.

At this moment, only a few people were standing on the boat.

Zhou Huaiyu said with a look of disbelief, “Eighth Brother, where did you get those people?”
