Chapter 763: 353 Heartwarming (Second Update)_3 Chapter 763: 353 Heartwarming (Second Update)_3 Old man Zhao said, “Xiaobao isn’t here, he went to see Little Tiger.”

Little Tiger is Granny Zhou’s grandson, who lives at the other end of the alley.

Could it be that Little Jingkong went there to find Zhao Xiaobao?

Old man Zhao asked, “Did Jingkong go out?”

Gu Jiao replied, “Yes, he said he was going to find Xiaobao.”

Old man Zhao frowned, pointed in the direction of Chang’an Avenue, and said, “I’ve seen that child heading that way a few times recently. I thought you knew.”

“I’ll go look for him then.”

Gu Jiao left the Zhao Family and walked towards Chang’an Avenue.

That little guy is getting bolder lately, even daring to lie about sneaking out of this alley.

Gu Jiao decided that once she caught the little guy, she would punish him severely, regardless how he pleaded or acted adorable!

Gu Jiao arrived on Chang’an Avenue. Chang’an Avenue had previously been busier than Xuanwu Avenue, but ever since the girls school opened on Xuanwu Avenue, it brought a lot of traffic.

Now, the two avenues are competing neck and neck.

After Gu Jiao took a few steps, she vaguely sensed an odd presence.

The presence was faint; it was almost undetectable unless you got very close.

That person was stalking Bishui Alley.

Gu Jiao rarely walked down this path, and the last time she came, this presence wasn’t there.

Gu Jiao flicked her fingertip, and a piece of black gunpowder shot out in an instant!

Thinking it was a hidden weapon, the person drew his sword to block, and the black gunpowder exploded with a bang on the blade!

“Oh my! What is this?”

The person rolled down from the roof with a clatter!

Gu Jiao approached in a few strides and stepped on the man’s chest.

However, the man was no pushover. Despite being blown up, he still had some strength to fight back. With a flip, he avoided Gu Jiao’s foot.

He then swung his knife and stabbed sideways towards Gu Jiao!

The only cold weapon Gu Jiao had ever used in her previous life was a dagger. It wouldn’t be easy for him to hurt her with that.

Gu Jiao bent her hand, grabbed his wrist, then twisted and knocked his dagger away. Immediately after, she delivered a chop that plastered him against the wall.

Gu Jiao shackled his hands behind his back and his face was forcibly pressed against the cold wall. “Who are you? Why are you lurking here?” she demanded.

He retorted angrily, “None of your business!”

As soon as his words fell, a golden object fell from his chest onto the ground. If it wasn’t Little Jingkong’s golden abacus, what else could it be?

Gu Jiao’s eyes chilled: “So you’re the one who took the golden abacus!”

The man cried out, “What do you mean ‘took’! I didn’t take anything!”

Gu Jiao said coldly, “If it wasn’t taken, then it was stolen?”

The man sucked in a breath of cold air: “It wasn’t stolen either!”

As Gu Jiao exerted more pressure, he felt as if his bones were cracking and hastily said, “It was bought! I bought it from the kid! If you like it, you can have it! It’s not worth much anyway!”

The golden abacus isn’t worth much, what a big talker!

This man seemed like he had martial arts skills. Gu Jiao worried that he had bullied Little Jingkong and swindled the abacus from him, and had no wish to show him mercy.

Just as she was about to break his ribs, he suddenly said, “If you don’t believe me, ask him! I bought it from him!”

Gu Jiao turned to look, and Little Jingkong was staring back at her.

Their eyes met, and Little Jingkong’s body trembled.

“Jiaojiao?” He quickly hid what he was holding behind his back.

With her hands pressed against the man, Gu Jiao didn’t have a hand free to pick up the abacus. She looked at the golden abacus on the ground and said, “Your abacus has been found. Quickly pick it up.”

But Little Jingkong didn’t move.

He lowered his head.

The grey-suited guard said, “Little brother, this is the abacus that our young master bought from you! Do you remember our young master? The man with the white jade fan, wearing white clothes and a black veil.”

Little Jingkong’s expression provided Gu Jiao with the answer.

Gu Jiao let go of her hold, and the grey-suited guard fell to the ground in pain.

What kind of woman was she? Why was she so strong?

Gu Jiao walked over, squatted down face to face with Little Jingkong who was hanging his head, and asked, “Why did you sell your abacus?”

Little Jingkong lowered his head, “I wanted money.”

Gu Jiao looked at him and said earnestly, “You can tell me if you need money. Your money is with me. I’m just keeping it safe for you. You can take it whenever you want to use it.”

Seeing that he didn’t speak, she asked again, “What did you need the money for?”

“To buy this.” Little Jingkong took out the parcel he had been hiding behind his back.

The parcel was heavy and bulging. It was unknown what it contained.

Gu Jiao took the parcel, “What do you want to do with this?”

Little Jingkong spoke softly, “To give to Jiaojiao.”

“For me?”

Gu Jiao opened the package, and a glowing red halo reflected out–

She never expected the package to contain a brand-new bridal gown.
