Unfortunately, your itinerary is not eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. The basic rule of 240 hour visa free transit requires that the immediate points, before and after mainland China are located in two different countries or eligible territories (eligible territories are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau). As you can see, both of your immediate points are located in a single country - Malaysia.

If you want to retain actual itinerary you will have to obtain a Chinese tourist visa in advance. If your itinerary is not a fixed one, you can maybe make it eligible in a creative way. For example by adding Hong Kong within your itinerary, Kuala Lumpur - Guiyang - Hong Kong - Kuala Lumpur... Hopefully, you will be able to make such an intervention in your itinerary. I would like to stress the importance of correct terminology because this is not 240 hour transit visa, but 240 hour visa free transit, so there is no any kind of visa involved. Hope this helps.
