When the three men saw Shen Nian look over, the pleas for mercy they had been about to utter died on their lips.
'Why? She was clearly just a delicate young woman, yet we felt uneasy and even afraid when she stared at us just now?'
'How could a young woman possibly make them feel that way? It must have been a trick of the mind. Yes, just a trick of the mind.'
After a single glance at the three men, Shen Nian looked away and turned her attention back to Gu Hengzhi.
"Mr. Gu, since they came for me, would you mind letting me handle them?"
"You may."
Gu Hengzhi looked at Shen Nian and nodded without hesitation.
"Thank you."
Turning her head, Shen Nian looked back at the three men.
The three men had overheard Shen Nian's exchange with Gu Hengzhi. They would have been terrified if Gu Hengzhi were the one dealing with them. But now that it was this woman before them, their fear dissipated considerably.
