Chapter 118 - This Is the Price to Pay for Hurting Her (2) (1/2)
In all these years, Pang Hai had never come across a person who could maintain such a straight-face even with a gun pointed to his head before. In fact, the smirk on Gu Yu’s lips made it seem like he was mocking him.
“Ha! Gu Yu, do you think that I’m just scaring you and that I won’t dare to pull the trigger?”
Pang Hai was more than a decade older than Gu Yu, and to him, Gu Yu was nothing more than an arrogant and ignorant little bastard. “How dare you come at me? You were still playing in the sandpit when I was shooting guns! I’m going to kill you, and then I’m going to kill that damn bitch!”
Nothing he said appeared to be able to evoke a reaction out of Gu Yu, except for his last few words. The light in Gu Yu’s eyes dimmed, and the air around him seemed to freeze over.
The gun quivered in Pang Hai’s hand as his fury intensified. He cocked the gun with his finger, and the sound that echoed from it was like the bell of the Grim Reaper.
Still, Gu Yu did not move. He stood there leisurely, and the disdain in his eyes did not abate.
Finally, Pang Hai reached the end of his patience and thundered, “Fine, I’ll grant you your death wish!” Slowly, his finger applied pressure on the trigger.
All of a sudden, an underling barged into the office. His face was full of panic, and he exclaimed, “Bad news, Brother Hai! Bad news!”
The sudden shock caused Pang Hai’s hand to twitch, and he had almost dropped his gun. He turned to look at the interrupter, and spewed out a string of vulgarities in anger, “What f*cking bad news are you talking about? I just got out of the police station, and you’re saying that I’m bad news?”
“No, not at all, Brother Hai! Something grave has indeed happened!”
“Can’t you see that I’m busy?” Pang Hai hollered without a second thought. “No matter how grave it is, it can wait until after I’ve killed him! Scram!”
The underling panicked and threw caution to the wind. He leaned over in Pang Hai’s ear and whispered all that he needed to tell him, and Pang Hai’s expression visibly changed. His eyes widened, and the gun in his hand fell to the floor with a loud thud.
Gu Yu gazed leisurely at him with eyes that were ablaze with mockery and contempt.
Pang Hai’s body swayed a few times before he finally steadied himself and looked up. “Gu Yu, are you responsible for it?”
