This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Xu Weilai frowned and asked, “How do you want me to prove it?”

Xu Weilai had already revealed to him Gu Yu’s fatal weakness—that Gu Yu had a severe medical condition. She could not understand what else she would have to prove to satisfy him.

“Kill him.”

Zuo An ordered in his usual gentle voice, but his words could chill one to the bones and one couldn’t help but shudder.

Xu Weilai widened her jet black eyes widened and her pupils constricted. As if she couldn’t catch what he had just said, she asked, “What did you say?”

“I want you to kill him with your own hands.”

Xu Weilai let out a muted chuckle as though she had just heard something amusing. Finally, she couldn’t help but roar with laughter as she replied, “Big Boss, you think too highly of me. I’m just a frail lady, so how could I kill a strong man like Gu Yu?”

“Perhaps you’ve underestimated yourself?”

“…”

Xu Weilai was rendered speechless and pursed her lips before she clarified, “What do you mean?”

Zuo An fell silent for quite some time before he eventually replied, “Weilai, you can only choose either me or Gu Yu and I hope that I would be your choice.”

After a pause, he continued, “I’ve prepared something for you and it’s under the pillow.”

Right after he threw out these words, Xu Weilai heard a click that sounded like Zuo An had hung up the phone. She instantly began to panic and frantically called out to him a few times, but no longer received any response from the other end of the line.

Xu Weilai pounded the bed furiously. She was still in a state of utter confusion and Zuo An divulged little to her, which only served to make her even more perplexed than before. The only clear instructions that she received was to kill Gu Yu.

Right now, the only thing that was clear about was the fact that she would have to kill Gu Yu in exchange for a chance to live.

“Wait a minute, he also mentioned that there is something under the pillow,” Xu Weilai recalled.

She instantly turned towards the pillow and held it up. As it was pitch black all around her, she couldn’t tell what the item was until she touched it gently with her hands.

As Xu Weilai traced the outline of the object with her hands, her heart went cold.

“It is… a dagger,” she thought.

Finding it unbelievable, she picked up the object and held it closer before she examined it carefully. Eventually, she pulled the dagger out of the hilt.

For a fleeting moment, the dagger seemed to glint and Xu Weilai’s brows knitted into a tight frown.

“Zuo An had prepared this dagger for me. Is this the weapon that he wants me to use to kill Gu Yu?” she mused.

“Since he was so well-prepared, then…would Gu Yu actually show up here later?” she contemplated.

As the thought flashed across Xu Weilai’s mind, she heard a loud bang and the door to the room was kicked open and light instantly poured in from outside.

Having remained in a dark room for a long time, Xu Weilai couldn’t adapt to the sudden strong intensity of the light and subconsciously narrowed her eyes and lifted her hand up to block out the light.

She could hear the sound of footsteps entering the room.

Xu Weilai peeked through the gaps between her fingers at the person whose back was faced towards the light source. There was a long shadow casted on the ground as the man made his way towards her.

For a moment, Xu Weilai did not dare to look up at his face.

She could already recognize from the silhouette that the man was Gu Yu.

Xu Weilai had no idea how Zuo An managed to lure Gu Yu here. She couldn’t tell if he had turned up for her sake or other reasons, but now that he had shown up, she could only obey Zuo An’s instructions and kill Gu Yu. Otherwise, neither of them would be able to leave this place alive.

It then dawned upon her that she had underestimated the extent of Zuo An’s ruthlessness.

His feelings for her were utterly worthless when his interests were at stake.
