Well, Zuo An approached her as a part of his scheme and intended to manipulate her. How would a person like that know love?

He walked towards her until he was in front of her. Xu Weilai raised her head and looked at him. She could see his face clearly from the ray of light that came through the door from the outside. Her last glimmer of hope faded.

It was indeed Gu Yu

She recalled Zuo Ans words earlier, Perhaps youve underestimated yourself?

A realization hit her. Gu Yu came because of her. It was Zuo Ans intention all along. He must have let Gu Yu know she was in danger, and he came in the hurry to save her.

Now, she was certain that the man who saved her the other night was also Gu Yu.

Despite that, she could not understand the reason he would he risk his life to save hers time after time when their relationship was over. Their relationships were at the point of no return. He had clearly given up on her.

Why did you come?

Xu Weilai blurted straightforwardly, You know that wont be able to escape easily since its a trap Zuo An set to lure you here. You might not even be able to leave this place alive.

Or you think you can save me on your own and escape unscathed once again?

Even though she was hoping for the latter to happen, Zuo An and his father was no fool. If they could eliminate their enemies without getting their hands dirty, this was certainly a dragnet that they had spread.

Gu Yu lowered his eyes and stared at her silently for the longest time. Then he whispered, I owe you this.

Owe this to her?

Xu Weilai guffawed when she heard these words coming from him, Owe me this? Gu Yu, youre fantastic. Youre still not willing to admit your infatuation even when we are in this kind of situation. Why is it so hard for you to admit your love towards me?

Gu Yu did not speak another word.

Xu Weilai bit her lower lip fiercely at his silence, This is the reason I hated you so much. Gu Yu, you did not owe this to me, you broke my heart. That is why I want to see you lose everything. That is also why I went to Zuo An and work with him. I want to destroy you with my hand.

So, since you have no more tricks up your sleeve, I want your life.

Xu Weilai made a sudden pounce towards Gu Yu once the last word left her mouth. She grabbed his shirt with one hand and raised the other to stab Gu Yu with a dagger directed towards his heart.

When they were close enough for him to hear her whisper, We escape together.

Even if there were ambushes and dangers out there waiting for them, she would still want to fight her way out. No matter how much hatred she harboured towards him, she could not bear to kill him with her own hand.

She said these merciless words on purpose because she knew Zuo An would listen to every word and watch their every move, even though he was not in the room. Since she could not tell Gu Yu of her intention too obviously, she could only try to distract Zuo An with these words.

Although Xu Weilais actions showed ruthlessness, she put little strength in her attack on Gu Yu. Gu Yu could easily dodge her stab with his swiftness and skills. They might stand a chance to leave the room if they pretended to fight and were trying to kill each other. They could observe the situation out there and look for other means of escape once they were out of this room.

However, she could only watch helplessly as the tip of the knife pierced through Gu Yus shirt, into his heart. She felt the iron tip of the dagger cut into Gu Yus flesh, as blood seeped through his shirt.

Xu Weilais dark eyes widened in disbelief. Why didnt you dodge?

Gu Yu had his gloomy eyes fixated on her as he moved his thin lips towards her ear slowly. Theres something I want to tell you.
