Chapter 751: Master! Save Me!
As the conversation reached this point, Gu Jin reached for an apple from the fruit plate and took a fierce bite.
Sitting beside her, An Mingji wore a gentle smile, his eyes full of affection, quietly being her listener.
He held Gu Jin’s free hand, his voice tender and compassionate: "You’ve had a hard time."
"I don’t really mind, since I don’t have to do any physical work. I’m just worried about Brother Jie and Brother Hai, how they can’t seem to move on from Minmin’s departure."
At the mention of this topic, Gu Jin set down the apple in her hand, feeling a bit unsettled inside.
Minmin’s departure made her very sad too.
It was around the same time An Mingji decided to go to Italy, and it took her a long time to move on.
An Mingji noticed the sadness on Gu Jin’s face, his lips gently pressed together, and he pulled her into his embrace, letting her rest on his shoulder, offering silent comfort.
He said nothing, knowing Minmin’s departure was a heavy blow to everyone. Her exit was too heroic.
Even he was somewhat affected deep down.
The two of them embraced in silence, their thoughts returning to the shy, sweet-looking, gentle girl in Qingshan Village.
"Ring ring—"
Amid this warmth and reminiscence, a phone rang.
"It’s my phone."
Gu Jin left An Mingji’s embrace and got up to get the phone from the bar a short distance away.
When she walked out of the restaurant earlier, she had placed the phone there while pouring water.
Seeing it was her second apprentice Jiang Hanyi calling, Gu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.
At this hour, she wondered what it could be about.
She pressed the answer button.
"Master! Help!"
Before Gu Jin could say anything, Jiang Hanyi’s wailing cry for help came through the receiver.
The smile on Gu Jin’s face faded slightly, her expression turning serious.
She heard sounds of fighting coming from the other end of the line where Jiang Hanyi was.
"Where are you?"
Gu Jin didn’t waste time asking what happened, she directly asked for the location.
She swiftly turned towards the door.
Her apprentice was calling for help, and from the sound of it, couldn’t hold out much longer, indicating the situation was extremely serious, a race against time.
An Mingji, sitting on the sofa, also heard Jiang Hanyi’s cry for help.
Though unhappy about someone disturbing his warm time with Sister Jin, Jiang Hanyi’s safety was paramount. He immediately took out his phone, instructing Allen and the others to prepare for departure.
"At, at Saint No Hotel! Master, please come!!!"
Gu Jin had already reached the doorway, hearing her apprentice’s response before the line went dead.
She gripped her phone, changing shoes at the door, ready to head out.
As she bent down to change shoes, An Mingji joined her, swapping his comfortable house slippers as well.
Gu Jin stood up, expressing her disapproval: "You just got back today, have a good rest at home. I can go by myself."
To her protest, An Mingji responded with action.
He had already changed his shoes: "I’ve slept for a whole day. Allen and the others are waiting downstairs, let’s go together."
Seeing his insistence, Gu Jin wasted no time, and the two of them headed downstairs together.
Downstairs.
Several Rolls-Royce luxury cars were parked on the flat road.
The moment An Mingji and Gu Jin came downstairs, Allen was the first to perform an Italian Royal Family noble salute.
He placed his right hand on his left shoulder, slightly bowing: "Young Master, Miss Gu."
The other Darwin Family superpower bodyguards, standing in front of other vehicles, followed Allen’s lead.
They all bowed in unison.
"Young Master, Miss Gu—"
"Young Master, Miss Gu—"
