After leaving the school gates, Gu Jin found his bicycle parked outside. He glanced at his wristwatch and set off towards the designated meeting place he had agreed upon with Cen Xiu.

As the bicycle entered the alley, a sound came from behind. Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Jin glanced at the rearview mirror attached to the handlebars, furrowing his brows involuntarily.

Soon, Gu Jin swiftly turned the car around. As he passed the intersection, he suddenly jumped off his bicycle and quickly leaped over the wall that was stacked with containers in front of him. At the same time, the sound of footsteps behind him gradually grew clearer, and the cursing voice of an adult man approached from far to near.

"That kid found us! Quickly chase after him!"

"Lao San, go to the front and block him!"

Gu Jin's running speed was quite fast. Before long, he had left the group of people far behind. However, the consequences of intense exercise for a prolonged period left him gasping for breath. He glanced back and saw that those people were still relentlessly chasing after him. However, because they had deviated from the direction Gu Jin was escaping in, they were gradually getting farther away from him.

He already knew who had sent this person, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

The despicable methods used were exactly the same as when they murdered our mother.

Gu Jin turned his head, and beside him, an old and abandoned steel frame made a loud "bang." Suddenly, a piece of hard stone flew towards him. Gu Jin couldn't avoid it in time and could only extend his arm to protect his head. The stone hit his elbow fiercely, and under the tremendous force weighing thousands of pounds, his whole body toppled backwards.

The person hidden behind the steel frame swiftly and accurately delivered a fierce knee kick to his lower abdomen. Gu Jin's eyes turned sharp as he suddenly made a move, firmly grabbing hold of the person's ankle and forcefully flipping them over, causing the two of them to crash to the ground, engaging in a fierce struggle.

However, Gu Jin, a minor, was no match for the strength of an adult. It didn't take long before he was overwhelmed and thrown to the ground, receiving a punch to the face.

With a loud "bang", a huge brick fell from above and struck the back of the head of the adult male with great force. His facial features twisted violently, and he collapsed to the ground, limp.

Gu Jin was forcefully pulled up from the ground, confronting the furious expression on Cen Xiu's face.

What's going on? Why didn't you notify me?" Cen Xiuzhi really wanted to slap Gu Jin in the face again and angrily grabbed his collar. "If it weren't for me desperately looking for someone today, you would have died here alone!"

The pupils of Gu Jintong suddenly contracted, grabbing Cen Xiuzhi's arm tightly. "Quickly get away--"

The man who had just fainted earlier somehow managed to climb up. He pulled out a small knife from his pocket and stabbed it fiercely towards Cen Xiuzhi's back. Luckily, Gu Jin reacted quickly. The knife narrowly grazed Cen Xiuzhi's shoulder, but still cut through his school uniform and flesh, causing blood to splatter all over the floor.

Gu Jin viciously kicked the man's crotch, causing him to emit a gruesome, pig-like scream. With a loud "clatter," the knife in his hand fell to the ground as he curled up in pain, twitching on the floor.

Gu Jin's expression had completely changed. He bent down and picked up the knife from the ground. With a sharp sound, it plunged into the opponent's abdomen. In an instant, his icy gaze burst forth with overwhelming hostility. Through gritted teeth, he uttered each word slowly, "Looking for death..."

"Ah ah ah ah!" The opponent let out an even more miserable scream, with bulging eyes and cold sweat covering his cheeks. If Gu Jin were to pull the blade leftward, his internal organs would spill out mixed with fresh blood from his lower abdomen.

A strong smell of blood spread in the air. Sensing that something was amiss, Cen Xiuzhi quickly stepped forward and pulled Gu Jin away, embracing him while stepping back. He spoke in a low voice, reassuringly, "Gu Jin, I'm fine. Don't look anymore. Let's go... Let's leave this place first!"
