The Mad Guardian

Immediately, there was a burst of murmurs!

"Hey, hey, hey, look quickly, isn't that girl the CEO of Qiuyun Company, Qiu Qianyu?"

"That's her! Who's that person next to her?"

"Who else could it be? It's her hick husband, isn't it? Haven't you heard?"

Although many people didn't know Jiang Chuan, his reputation was known far and wide, many had heard of him.

"Exactly! Qiu Qianyu's hick husband hit Master Wu's godson, now they're in big trouble!"

"Yes indeed! I guess they might really be thrown into the river to feed the fish by Master Wu."

"After all, the little Qiu Family is not a match for Master Wu! And the Qiu Family is having a run of bad luck!"

People murmured amongst themselves, and some even ran over eagerly to secretly warn Qiu Qianyu.

"Qiu Qianyu, you'd better take your husband and run away quickly, you don't know who you've offended!"

"That's right! You've offended Master Wu, if he comes, none of you will escape!"

"Don't be hopeful; even the entire Qiu Family is no match for Master Wu!"

People were trying to persuade them, there were kind-hearted ones, and those who were adding insult to injury.

Qiu Qianyu's pretty face immediately turned as pale as paper.

She had certainly heard about the rumors of this Master Wu.

Master Wu of Yanbei, who had a foot in both black and white worlds, even the top leader in Yanbei had to give him some face.

Qiu Qianyu bit her lip tightly, her heart already in turmoil.

Suddenly, she raised her head, with a hint of panic in her eyes, yet spoke resolutely to Jiang Chuan, "Jiang Chuan, you should leave!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, then asked, "Why?"

"Master Wu isn't someone we can afford to offend. Today's matter is my family's issue, you shouldn't get involved, just leave quickly! Hurry up and go!"

Qiu Qianyu reached out to push Jiang Chuan, but Jiang Chuan understood her intention and felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Faced with a crisis, she thought of letting him leave first, choosing to bear it alone; what a foolish and adorable girl she was!

Of course, Jiang Chuan didn't leave. Not only did he not leave, but he also reached out and took hold of Qiu Qianyu's delicate hand, then with a gentle pull, he drew her into his embrace!

This was the first time Jiang Chuan embraced Qiu Qianyu. She was stunned, but she forgot to struggle.

Because, that strong man's embrace and that enchanting masculine scent made her feel a bit intoxicated.

And the other reason she forgot to struggle was that Jiang Chuan whispered softly into her ear.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you!"

I won't let anyone hurt you!

What a domineering and arrogant statement, yet it stirred waves of connection within Qiu Qianyu's heart, giving her a sense of security she had never felt before.

Yes, a sense of security.

Alongside the sense of security in Qiu Qianyu's heart, there was also a sudden surge of grievance.

How many days had she endured grievances in the Qiu Family just to survive.

How many days she had appeared strong in front of others just to protect that softness in her heart.

How many storms she had weathered alone, never having the time or the chance to relax for even a moment. Because she had no support that would allow her to relax.

But today, one sentence from Jiang Chuan had completely moved Qiu Qianyu's heartstrings, making her eyes well up with tears.

Qiu Qianyu cried, burying her face in Jiang Chuan's chest, tears streaming down.

At this moment, waves of ridicule came again from around them.

"Haha, what big talk from this guy!"

"If you want to pretend to be tough, you have to see when's the right time! Offending Master Wu and still acting tough, how long can you keep it up?"

"Right, even if you add up all the men in Yanbei, how many dare to act tough in front of Master Wu!"

"Exactly, this Jiang Chuan, I think he's not just a hick loser, he might have a screw loose too!"

Hearing the spectators' mocking voices, Qiu Qianyu quickly regained her senses. She hurriedly pushed Jiang Chuan away and said in a panicked voice, "Jiang Chuan, you should leave now, or it will be too late!"
