Chapter 417: Of course to kill you
Translator: _Min_ |
The car drove to a remote location, its bumpy ride causing Jiang Yue to step out and vomit several times.
Gu Dai, with her eyes closed, was on the verge of falling asleep when the car suddenly stopped. Instinctively, she opened her eyes.
Jiang Yue, startled by Gu Dai’s gaze, asked incredulously, “You’re awake?”
Gu Dai nodded, stepping out of the car with composure, “I’ve been awake for a while.”
Surveying her surroundings, she inquired, “Why have you brought me here?”
Jiang Yue blurted out, “Of course to kill you!”
Gu Dai responded with disappointment, “Is that all?”
Irritated by Gu Dai’s reaction, Jiang Yue demanded, “What do you mean by that? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
Gu Dai shook her head, chuckling, “No, I’ve faced too many attempts on my life; I’m used to it. And frankly, your plan is quite poor.”
Jiang Yue’s face stiffened.
Gu Dai critiqued further, “You had someone call me about a company issue from an unknown number – obviously not credible. And the boy lying on the road at midnight? Clearly a ploy to lure me.”
Enraged, Jiang Yue clenched her fists, “But you still fell for it and got captured, didn’t you?”
Gu Dai replied calmly, “I did it on purpose.”
She was disappointed, having hoped to catch the person sending her the rubber replica of a severed head. Instead, her captor was Jiang Yue.
Provoked by Gu Dai’s words, Jiang Yue grabbed her by the collar, fuming, “You’re proud of outsmarting me, aren’t you? But remember, your life is in my hands now!”
Seeing Gu Dai remain unafraid, Jiang Yue said coldly, “I hate your attitude. I don’t understand what Song Ling sees in you. He forgives everything you do, yet he’s so ruthless with me!”
Gu Dai raised her eyebrows in surprise, pondering for a moment before replying earnestly, “I think you might be misunderstanding something about him…”
Interrupting her with a maniacal laugh, Jiang Yue whispered, “It doesn’t matter. Even if he loves you, I can still kill you and make Song Ling watch.”
She pulled out her phone and dialed Song Ling’s number.
At the company, Song Ling, who had a restless night filled with thoughts of Gu Dai, paled as he sat at his desk.
Seeing Jiang Yue’s name on his ringing phone, he initially thought to ignore it.
Regaining his composure, he answered coldly, “Where are you?”
Jiang Yue didn’t respond immediately, instead saying softly, “Brother Song Ling, I truly love you. Would you come to see me? I know you don’t want to, but it doesn’t matter because you will come. I have Gu Dai here.”
Song Ling stood up impulsively, but remembering her kick, he sat back down, stating coldly, “I’m not coming.”
Jiang Yue, taken aback, “You’re not coming?”
Gu Dai replied helpfully, “That’s right, he said he’s not coming.”
Jiang Yue snapped, “Shut up!”
Song Ling had thought he could resist going, but hearing Gu Dai’s voice, his heart panicked. Anxiously, he said, “Don’t harm her, Jiang Yue. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Jiang Yue smirked, “I knew you couldn’t let her go. Rest assured, I won’t touch her until you get here. But come alone. If you call the police, I’ll kill Gu Dai immediately!”
“I’m on my way!” Song Ling responded hastily.
Fear for Gu Dai’s safety made his heart tremble. He pushed aside the coldness he felt from her and the thought of being used as a substitute.
At the Gu residence, chaos ensued.
Meng Zhi, looking at the note left by Gu Dai, exclaimed in frustration, “Reckless! She deliberately walked into a trap to catch her assailant. What if she’s in danger?”
Meng Chuan, equally furious, commanded, “Organize a search.”
Su Ting interjected, “No need. Sis has a locator on her. We’ll track her with that.”
Meanwhile, Gu Dai, having yawned several times, looked up at Jiang Yue and asked, “Are you sure Song Ling will come to save me?”
Furious, Jiang Yue brandished a knife and pressed it against Gu Dai’s face, “If you remind me again how much Song Ling loves you, I’ll kill you right now!”
