"No need." Gu Jinglian smirked coldly. "Everyone in the Gu family has been living on the edge of a knife since they were young. If they can't even withstand such a minor scene, how can they still be considered part of the Gu family?"

Carrying Baby Chu with one hand, his eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously. He silently cursed in his heart. Who gave the Qing Long Gang the courage to seek trouble with me? It's like they have a death wish!

As he thought about it, he called out, "Lin Suhong!"

A shout came from the group of men wearing black suits. After a while, a tall and burly man strode out. He lowered his head and walked towards Gu Jinglian, saying in a deep voice, "Chief, what are your instructions for me?"

Gu Jinglian's fingertips lightly caressed Baby Chu's tender cheeks. Without raising his head, he said, "If I remember correctly, Moroga Casino has always been under the jurisdiction of the Vermillion Bird Hall. Yet, you, as the Vermillion Bird Hall Master, made me witness such a scene today. I'm very unhappy!"

Gu Jinglian's strange smile suddenly made Lin Suhong feel a chill run down his spine. Just as he was feeling guilty to the point of panicking, he saw Gu Jinglian whirl around and cast a sidelong glance at him. With an ambiguous smile playing on his lips, he drawled, "You should know that I don't keep useless subordinates by my side. It's better for you to think about how to protect your position as the hall master!"

His heart suddenly sank. Rushed towards Gu Jinglian, he dropped to his knees while breaking into a cold sweat. He yelled, "I'm sorry, Chief! What happened tonight is my mistake!"

"Get lost. Don't block the way."

Gu Jinglian kicked him aside without even sparing a glance at him. After taking a few steps towards the door, he suddenly remembered something. He instructed coldly, "Lin Suhong, if this matter isn't resolved neatly, you can forget about keeping your hands!"

With that, he sneered coldly and left with the child in his arms, leaving Lin Suhong kneeling on the ground and trembling in fear.

Gu Jinglian carried Baby Chu and walked out of the door. Still immersed in great fear, the child in his arms was still trembling all over.

"So much blood… So much blood on the ground… Blood on the ground…"

Baby Chu had never seen such a scene before.

However, Gu Jinglian was extremely used to it. Ever since he was young, he had witnessed such scenes when his father's subordinates carried him around while patrolling the casinos.

He had witnessed scammers whose fingers had been chopped off, wailing in deep agony; gamblers with their legs crippled, collapsing on the ground with their bodies twitching from the immense pain; even men and women, who had gotten high on drugs, engaging in all sorts of wild acts. These memories had been deeply etched in his mind ever since he was a child.

Children who grew up in the Gu family had to go through this from a young age.

Baby Chu asked nervously, "Uncle… Did you kill those people?"

Leaning lazily against the back seat, Gu Jinglian helplessly lowered his head to look at the crying Baby Chu in his arms. He was mentally and physically exhausted from Baby Chu's crying. Gently running his long fingers through the little boy's hair, he let out a frustrated sigh.

He seemed to have made the wrong decision.

He should not have brought this child to such a place.

Gazing at Baby Chu as he sobbed, Gu Jinglian actually felt a sense of pity.

Is this an illusion?

How is it possible for me to feel pity for anyone?

Could it be that because this child is my flesh and blood, I started to develop something called 'love' for him?

"Stop crying."

Ma Men was dumbfounded.

Is Chief actually coaxing a child?
