Klaus was already out cold when Jiang Shuxuan intervened. Upon waking up, he was greeted by the scene where the thugs who beat him up were all sprawled out on the floor as if they had all received a painful thrashing.
The only ones who remained standing were a man and a young woman. He turned towards the latter and of course, he recognized that she was the person who was here to his rescue. He let out a bitter laugh and muttered to Gu Xiqiao, "Thanks."
"Don't mention it," she replied with a smile.
"I don't have a lot on me, but you should take this." Klaus turned away and coughed before producing a gold watch from his pocket and presenting it to Gu Xiqiao. "You two better leave soon, before Claude realizes what happened. Knowing him, he'd never let you two go."
Claude was a nasty fellow indeed. These two would never be spared if he found out that they had interfered with his plans.
