Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: An Mingji Takes Action Personally

Gu Jin could sense his indifference, so she too needed some personal space and did not approach An Mingji.

Luckily, the meals and snacks she prepared each day were accepted gladly by An Mingji.

Though they lived under the same roof, they hadn’t encountered each other in the past two days.

That afternoon, as Gu Jin lay in her bedroom, she suddenly heard gunshots ring out from within the manor.

She sat up abruptly and dashed towards the door.

Stepping out of her room, she immediately headed to An Mingji’s bedroom.

The room was empty.

Gu Jin’s heart began to race, sensing that something was about to happen.

With gunshots ringing in her ears again, she didn’t have time to think and hastily ran downstairs, following the sounds of the intense battle.

Within the Darwin Family manor, there was a shooting range.

An Mingji, due to his foul mood in recent days, had come here specifically to vent.

Now, in his bleak mood, someone dared to barge in seeking trouble.

He had only taken over the Darwin Family a few years ago, and although on the surface the family’s elders respected him, they often undermined him in secret.

Today, it was unclear which faction had dared to sneak into the manor, essentially delivering themselves as fodder.

An Mingji’s gaze was heavy as he assessed the five or six people lying on the ground, covered in blood, uncertain of their fate.

One of them was subdued by Allen, kneeling on the ground with a shot to the shoulder.

"Speak! Who sent you?!"

Allen’s face was grim and menacing, his voice filled with an icy chill.

Being intruded upon at the headquarters was his dereliction of duty.

These people were clearly provoking him, attempting to make him blunder in front of the family head.

The man clenched his teeth tightly, cast a mocking glance at Allen, and wore a smirk of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Infuriated, Allen raised his hand and slapped the intruder, and was about to act further when a voice echoed from behind.

"Allen, bring him here!" An Mingji suddenly spoke.

Allen looked up at the command and noticed the family head retrieving an exquisite yet razor-sharp set of tools from the side of his wheelchair.

A bewildered and enlightened expression crossed his face; the family head rarely acted personally these years, yet today he seemed interested.

Years back, when An Mingji first took over the family’s business, internal politics were a mess, and troublemakers frequently sought them out.

Becoming familiar with the Darwin Family’s interrogation methods, An Mingji grew intrigued.

The first time he witnessed the vibrant red blood spurting forth, like blooming crimson flowers, he felt a thrill coursing through his body, while his back tingled with excitement.

Gradually, he began to handle matters personally.

Whenever he struggled to shake off inner turmoil, he would vent by such means.

Today, he didn’t care who sent these people, knowing well that it couldn’t be anyone but those few families—mere jesters.

At this moment, he solely sought to unleash the pent-up anger and frustration that had been weighing on him for days.

Allen immediately dragged the man kneeling on the ground, step by step, toward An Mingji.

Mournful cries rang out, reaching Gu Jin’s ears just as she dashed out the door.

The sound was still a distance away, but close enough for her to determine its direction.

Following the sound, she headed towards the shooting range.

Gu Jin moved with stealth, light and silent, hardly making a sound.

By the time she arrived, none of the people surrounding the shooting range had noticed her presence.

From afar, Gu Jin watched An Mingji seated in his wheelchair, surrounded by Allen, Linda, and others.

The ground was strewn with five or six corpses, dyed in blood red.

With just a glimpse, Gu Jin understood these people were dead, devoid of breath.
