“Even if I want you killed, you’re fine with it?” Gu Mang asked.
Lu Chengzhou nodded. He would rather she make it quick than keep torturing him like this.
A smile slowly appeared on Gu Mang’s face as she bent down and inched closer to him. She said softly and lazily, “You’ll accept it even if I kill you?”
Their faces nearly collided with each other as their breaths intertwined. Lu Chengzhou did not move. He looked straight into her clear, deep eyes. They were so dark that he could see his own reflection in them. Her eyes were so cold. For a split second, when she narrowed her eyes, she really wanted to kill him just like how he had almost killed her back then.
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips. “I’ll accept it but let me say my last words.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and leaned back in the chair again. “Sure.”
“Alright.” He removed the pistol attached to Gu Mang’s camouflage pants and loaded it before handing back to her. You require a lot of money so I’ll leave all my money to you. It should be sufficient. Stop accepting missions using Silence’s identity in the future.”
If she could be tricked by him, there would be others who could do the same.
Gu Mang kept her gaze lowered. Upon hearing his words, she paused for a moment. All the anger that was repressed in her for the past few days was released. How could she not be infuriated?
Yet, she remained expressionless.
“What else?” Gu Mang placed her finger on the trigger as though she would pull the trigger the moment he finished speaking.
Looking at her for a while, Lu Chengzhou said, “Can you really bear to kill me?”
Gu Mang laughed. “Try me.”
Lu Chengzhou paused and stared straight into her eyes. “Can’t I keep my life?”
“You lost it to me yourself.” Gu Mang sounded insipid.
Her index finger tapped the trigger thoughtlessly and yet she knew that she was hesitating.
He had not known her three years ago. Everyone was unscrupulous in some way or another to get what they wanted. This sounded reasonable. However, she simply found him to be an eyesore.
“That’s true, too.” Lu Chengzhou laughed. Indeed, it had been him who lost to her first. His eyes were fixated on her as he said, “Remember to bury me.”
After saying that, he held the gun’s muzzle and pointed it between his eyebrows. Gu Mang looked at him with chilly eyes. At this moment, the communicator on Gu Mang’s wrist flashed red twice.
Something must have happened with Xing Zhi.
Immediately, a voice was heard coming from the communicator. “Silence, are you done with your matters? If you’re done, come over for a moment. That Little Master, he… Forget it, come and have a look yourself.”
Gu Mang frowned and subconsciously looked at the communicator. “What’s wrong with him?”
Lu Chengzhou heard it too and his eyes narrowed. If something were to happen to Gu Si at Red Flame…
Xing Zhi seemed to be laughing with anger. “What could happen to him? It’s others that had something happen to them!”
Gu Mang was relieved. “Got it, I’ll come over right now.”
Disengaging the communication, she stood up and pulled the pistol back from him. She holstered it near her leg and went to put on her cap and mask.
Just as she turned around, Lu Chengzhou grabbed her wrist. Gu Mang saw him stand up from the corner of her eyes.
“Does this mean that I just saved my own life?” Lu Chengzhou looked at her and asked.
Her eyes narrowed when she saw him holding her wrist. In the next second, she suddenly locked his arm and threw him over her shoulders, smashing him into the ground.
Lu Chengzhou did not expect her to act so suddenly. He llooked at her in shock.
She looked down at him and smiled. “Don’t try to take liberties with me. We’re not close.”
Lu Chengzhou was quiet.
Gu Mang headed out but stopped in her tracks suddenly.
She stood on the spot for two seconds and pursed her lips before returning to kick him harshly. “You’re looking for a beating!”
Lu Chengzhou coughed after getting kicked as he curled up into a ball.
He then heard her speak exceptionally slowly, “If I don’t vent my anger, this matter will not be resolved.”
