After ending the call, Zuo An looked up at Qiao Chu who was seated in the drivers seat. Start the car, he instructed.

Qiao Chu swept one glance at the unconscious Xu Weilai through the rearview mirror and let out a silent sigh before he started the engine and slammed on the accelerator. The car then pulled out slowly.

Xu Weilai was shrouded by a sea of darkness when she finally regained consciousness.

She was stunned for a few seconds before memories slowly flooded into her mind. She recalled that Zuo An had brought her to pay respects to his mother in the cemetery and subsequently, he confronted her about what happened last night. Towards the end, he had told her that his father wanted him to get kill her.

He then mentioned that he couldnt bear to do it but at the same time, he also couldnt afford to lose and thus, she would have to become his girl if she wanted to live. She would also have to become someone whom he could trust.

He then knocked her unconscious after that.

Where exactly am I at now? What did Zuo An mean by what he last said to me? What the hell is he trying to do? Xu Weilai wondered.

However, she knew that she shouldnt panic during situations like this. Swallowing her saliva, she tried to keep herself calm and clear-headed so that she could make an accurate judgment in the event of danger.

Xu Weilai first flipped through her clothes and pockets and realised that Zuo An must have taken her phone away for it was no longer with her. However, her hands and feet werent bound and neither does her body feel strange. It seems like he didnt do anything to me, she concluded.

Xu Weilai heaved out a sigh of relief when the realisation hit her.

As she was engulfed in total darkness, she couldnt see what her current environment was like clearly but upon feeling around with her hands, she could tell that she was lying on something that resembled a bed.

Xu Weilai groped about and helped herself up before she reached out her hands and started to feel around in an attempt to locate a light source. However, despite feeling around for a long time, she still failed to locate any.

Xu Weilai does not dare to act rashly since she had no idea what things were like around her and thus, she could only sit on the bed for the time being.

Zuo An is the one who brought me here, so hell definitely make his next move. As the saying goes, I shouldnt make a move if the enemy isnt making a move, she mused. Xu Weilai knew that she had to be patient.

Gradually, as time passed, Xu Weilais eyes finally became accustomed to the darkness and she could vaguely tell that she was in a room that was rather empty, for she couldnt see the silhouette of any other furniture beyond the bed that she was sitting on.

What is Zuo An trying to do when he knocked me out and brought me to this empty room? she thought.

Many possibilities flashed across Xu Weilais mind, but she couldnt be sure of any of them. She decided to try her best to figure out where the door was and was torn as to whether or not she should try to escape.

As Zuo An had left her here so confidently, she knew that he must have felt certain that she couldnt escape and things might actually be worse off for her if she acted rashly.

After contemplating about it for some time, Xu Weilai eventually suppressed her urge to escape.

As expected, the fear of the unknown was the most effective means to trigger a mental breakdown. Xu Weilai knew that she probably wouldnt have been able to remain so calm if it wasnt for the years which she had spent on reporting news, during which she had encountered all sorts of problems and which she had to overcome every single time.

Xu Weilai had no idea how long she remained in the dark room alone and just when she felt like she was on the verge of giving up, she heard someone speak into her ear.

Weilai.

It was Zuo An.

Xu Weilai was momentarily stunned, but in the next instant, she touched her ear with her hands and realised that she was actually wearing a mini earpiece in her ear all along and had merely failed to notice it earlier on because of how panicky she was.

Big Boss, what exactly do you want?

You said that hate Gu Yu, didnt you? Then prove it to me, he ordered clearly.
