“What?” Nangong Zijue smirks and smacks his cheek. Smiling, he asks, “Have you fallen in love with me and you want to stay?”
“You’re insane!” An Chuxia blurts out as she blushes. He is such a rogue. She’s just glad the blue light in the room is dim enough for him not to see the color in her cheeks.
Before she can put logic in the craziness, An Chuxia walks out of the room. Her hands and feet still feel the pinpricks from the position she was in for a long time. But she doesn’t stay. She isn’t sure how long she has got before Nangong Zijue changes his mind!
“Han Qilu has been dumped somewhere in Snake Mountain. You have to hurry. Otherwise, he might be swallowed by a snake… .” She stops in her tracks when she hears Zijue’s voice.
She turns around, her face going pale. “You… what did you do to him?”
Nangong Zijue’s face looks so innocent under the pale light shining on his face. But he just stuns An Chuxia by telling her he sent Han Qilu to his death… .
Deliberating on An Chuxia’s question, Zijue reaches out and cups his chin. “I don’t think you have the time to question me right now. If you dawdle, I might change my mind about this game… Will you be able to find him before he dies?”
Her expression is frozen in shock.
In contrast, his expression remains aloof as he stares at her face. He can’t bear looking at her expression, if only for a moment. He raises his chin and squints at her. “The glasses you have in your hands have night vision. I’ll be counting to three, and if you don’t leave, you never will. I believe there are beasts on the mountain. They will take care of Han Qilu.”
When An Chuxia wakes up from her stupor, she shoots Zijue a look of resentment before hurrying away from the cabin.
“Master Jue, why did you let her go?” Tom can’t help but ask. Han Qilu is known for being a playboy, and playing games all day, but he’s been warned not to underestimate him. If he dies, undoubtedly, his death will be a huge block to Nangong Zijue’s grand plan. He isn’t sure Zijue truly understands.
“Sometimes, playing this kind of game is advantageous.” Zijue’s mouth raises. “Is my bed ready? I’m sleepy.”
“It’s ready. It’s next door,” Tom quickly replies. He realizes the boss is quite talkative for no apparent reason.
But this time, Tom got things wrong. Zijue is just being whimsical. There truly isn’t any reason for his change.
Zijue yawns as he walks toward the door. Tom calls out to him again. There was a strange expression on his face. He wants to ask Zijue more questions but he doesn’t dare to ask before he leaves. Tom has worked with him for the past six years. He clearly sees what’s happening.
“You should personally follow her. Don’t give yourself away. If she knows she’s being followed, the game is over. I’m off to rest. I have to prepare myself to meet Zifei. Go.” Nangong Zijue disappears behind the door, and Tom is relieved.
