Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 105 Gu Yu's Fear, The Final Showdown

Gu Yu was originally a minor figure in the Marquis's mansion, making a living by currying favor with the powerful and influential. But now, he finds himself deeply entangled in the mansion's crisis, unable to extricate himself.

"What am I going to do? Why am I so unlucky!" Gu Yu paced back and forth in his room, his forehead covered in sweat.

He recalled how he had once helped those with ulterior motives do some shady things for a little personal gain, and now those things could become evidence against him.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die." Gu Yu decided to ask those powerful figures he had once flattered for help.

He arrived at the mansion of a powerful figure, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"Go away, go away! Don't you even know what time it is? The adults don't have time to see you." The gatekeeper shooed him away without any mercy.

Gu Yu stood at the door in despair, his heart filled with regret.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, he saw Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling handling affairs in an orderly manner, which made him even more uneasy.

"Will they target me first?" Gu Yu became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

At night, Gu Yu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every slightest sound made his heart race.

"Maybe I should confess and try to get a lighter sentence." This thought flashed through his mind, but he was also afraid that he would be punished more severely if he confessed.

Just as Gu Yu was gripped by extreme fear and inner turmoil, another major event occurred at the Marquis's residence.

"It's terrible, Gu Yu! The Marquis's account books have been stolen!" A servant rushed over to tell him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu was so frightened he almost collapsed to the ground. He knew that the ledger contained a lot of dirt on him.

"Someone must have framed me!" Gu Yu shouted hysterically.

At this time, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling also learned that the account book was missing.

"Immediately seal off the Marquis's residence and search for the whereabouts of the account books," Xiao Ling ordered.

Gu Yu was like a frightened bird. Seeing the guards of the Marquis's mansion searching everywhere, his heart pounded even faster.

"It's over, it's over, it's really over this time," Gu Yu muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he found a letter in his room.

The letter read: "If you want to save your life, do as I say..."

Su Jinxiu engages in a final showdown with the enemy, showing no fear and using her wisdom and courage to uncover all the conspiracies.

The moment of decisive battle arrived. Su Jinxiu, dressed in red, stood resolutely in the square of the Marquis's mansion. Opposite her stood the mastermind who had been hiding in the shadows, plotting to overthrow the Marquis's mansion, and his henchmen.

"Su Jinxiu, today is your death day!" the mastermind said viciously.

Su Jinxiu sneered: "The outcome is still uncertain!"

Before the words were even finished, both sides charged forward, and instantly swords flashed and shadows danced. Su Jinxiu moved with agility, her longsword wielded with impenetrable speed, each move filled with power and determination.

Xiao Ling fought valiantly alongside Su Jinxiu, their teamwork seamless, making it difficult for the enemy to break through their defenses for a time.

However, the enemy was numerous, and each of them was a master. Gradually, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling began to struggle.

"Madam, be careful!" Xiao Ling shouted as he saw a cold arrow shooting towards Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the arrow.

"Xiao Ling, don't worry about me, focus on fighting the enemy!" Su Jinxiu shouted.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Su Jinxiu suddenly discovered a weakness in the enemy's defenses.

"Now!" She leaped toward the opening, her longsword aimed directly at the mastermind behind it all.

The mastermind was shocked and hurriedly retreated. But Su Jinxiu was too fast and appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Your scheme ends here!" Su Jinxiu shouted angrily.

The mastermind fought desperately, but Su Jinxiu's swordsmanship was so sharp that he could hardly defend himself after just a few moves.

Just then, a mysterious expert suddenly appeared among the enemies and attacked Su Jinxiu.

"Madam, I'm here to help you!" Xiao Ling shook off the enemies around him and rushed to Su Jinxiu's aid.

The three engaged in a fierce battle. Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling worked closely together and gradually gained the upper hand.

In the end, Su Jinxiu stabbed the mastermind in the chest with her sword.

"Ah!" The mastermind screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing their leader dead, the other enemies were thrown into chaos and scattered in all directions.

"Don't let them get away!" Su Jinxiu shouted.

The guards of the Marquis's mansion gave chase and captured most of the enemies.

The battle ended, leaving the Marquis's mansion square in a state of chaos. Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were covered in blood, but victorious smiles adorned their faces.

"It's finally over." Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could even celebrate, new problems arose.

When the imperial court learned of the battle fought by the Marquis's residence, it became wary of the Marquis's strength.

"My lord, my lady, the court may be against us," an advisor said worriedly.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling exchanged a glance, understanding that an even more difficult struggle awaited them...
