The shout was neither loud nor quiet, but everyone near the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, along with those powerful enough to hear it, was stunned. Huabin? Who was Huabin?
Wait, that was the Duke's wife shouting. There was only one Huabin in all of Star Luo City-indeed, in the entire empire-whom she would call that: the Duke's Mansion's second young master, Dai Huabin!
The looks from all around gradually grew strange. The Duke's wife stared in disbelief at the person Gu Qingnian held.
A smile curled Gu Qingnian's lips as he said meaningfully, "You have one minute left."
Naturally, the Duke's wife could not possibly kneel, but she was also afraid Gu Qingnian would kill his hostage. Her face was pale with fury.
Time ticked away, second by second. The experts from the Duke's Mansion did not dare speak rashly either. After careful observation, they could tell that this "pig-headed man" was indeed the second young master. A reckless attack might drive his captor to desperation and make him take the boy down with him.
Even the guard commander felt his scalp prickle. You've got some guts, brother. You kidnapped the White Tiger Duke's second son and even came here to openly provoke them. At that point, he whispered a few words to someone behind him, who promptly departed for the Imperial Palace.
Gu Qingnian watched the Duke's wife below, still refusing to yield. The person in his hand was indeed Dai Huabin. After beating him brutally, he had left him in a sack for a whole day. By now, the boy was pitifully weak.
After a moment's thought, he decided he did not really feel like waiting anymore. He grabbed Dai Huabin's other arm and gave it a hard yank under the shocked gazes of the Duke's wife
