A thick stench of blood assaulted his nostrils, causing Gu Zhiqi to subconsciously furrow her brows. Once she saw the scene in the hallway, however, she arched her eyebrows.
Looking at the old man with a wrinkled face, half-white hair, a pale countenance, and blood still flowing down his leg as he sat paralyzed on the ground, the first thought that came to Gu Zhiqi's mind was the phrase "scamming for compensation."
"He... tried to scam you?"
Gu Mengyang "..."
"I hit him," Gu Mengyang said. Taking a step toward the old man, he blocked Gu Zhiqi's view to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.
Such a bloody scene was not suitable for children to see.
After ensuring the man was out of sight, Gu Mengyang continued, "He was setting up an array. It's Meng Xiao's money that paid for it."
Hearing Gu Mengyang's explanation, Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyebrows and walked around him, stepping toward Qiu Mingzi.
