Chapter 160 The Scorching Sun (59 pages)
The system listened to Gu Yao's words, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Gu Yao looked at the bewildered 0529 and sighed inwardly.
"To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Dao of this world has a stronger ability and will use every opportunity it can to intervene and eliminate me, this uncertain factor."
Just like the items in the system's shop, if they don't belong to this world, he can exclude things from outside this world.
From the moment they took advantage of my weakened defenses and gave me a psychological suggestion, I knew that Heaven would never easily let go of me, this 'outsider' who disrupted the world's course.
0529 nodded, as if he understood.
His expression then turned dejected.
"So, in this world, I'm not able to help my host?"
Seeing 0529's dejected look, Gu Yao smiled and said, "Well, it was actually useful. Remember to shield me from pain later, Xiao Jiu. I have something important to do."
0529 saw the morbid madness and excitement on the boy's face, his body trembled violently, and then he quickly nodded.
Gu Yao's face lit up with joy; he could feel the rope starting to loosen.
The boy continued with his work, head down, when the warehouse door opened.
After being in the dark for a long time, the eyes feel a little uncomfortable when suddenly exposed to bright light.
However, even in the blurry images, one could still see a group of people dressed in black surrounding a person dressed in white.
It stands out from the crowd, unique and exceptional.
A single white dot amidst a sea of black.
It's a bit dazzling.
Is this guy really alright?
Why would someone dressed all in white come to such a dirty place?!
Gu Yao looked up at the person in front of him, and his vision gradually became clear.
It really is Lu Zhilin.
Qi Xuan's rival.
Recently, he must have been dealt a terrible blow by Qi Xuan in the business world.
Look at those dark circles under his eyes, he could be on par with a national treasure.
Lu Zhilin looked at the boy in front of him, reached out and brushed Gu Yao's face aside, examining him closely.
He caught a glimpse of the red mark on the boy's neck, and chuckled with a hint of disdain and amusement.
"You're Qi Xuan's precious little lover?"
The boy turned his head away, ignoring Lu Zhilin's words.
Lu Zhilin didn't seem to care, he just smiled and reached out to tear off the tape from Gu Yao's mouth.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Qi Xuan is driving my Lu family to the brink of ruin. It's not too much for me to target the person he likes the most, is it?"
Gu Yao turned his head and met the young man's vicious and crazy smile.
"Finally you've decided to talk to me," Lu Zhilin said, reaching out to pull the boy's collar open slightly.
"Qi Xuan is pretty good, isn't he? Tell me, if I sent the video of you being raped to Qi Xuan, wouldn't that bastard go crazy?"
As he spoke, the young man seemed to imagine the scene, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.
Looking at the person in front of him who was clearly not in a normal mental state, Gu Yao felt that he should try to calm him down first.
Upon hearing this, a look of fear appeared on his face, and his voice trembled slightly, "What, what exactly do you want to do?"
Lu Zhilin smiled as he looked at the terrified expression on the boy's face.
“I don’t want to do anything, but Qi Xuan has been pushing me too hard lately, so I want him to bleed a little.”
As he spoke, Lu Zhilin dialed Qi Xuan's number.
After a few sounds, a familiar voice came through.
"Hey."
Gu Yao looked somewhat stunned and wanted to shout, but Lu Zhilin gestured for him to be quiet.
"Qi Xuan, what do you say? Let my men give your little lover a try."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then the young man's completely calm voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Then go ahead and do it. She's just a little mistress. Do you think I'd care? Lu Zhilin, don't forget, I'm not one of those greenhorns."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhilin's smile faded, and he turned to look at the somewhat heartbroken young man in front of him.
That vulnerable look.
This is really...exciting.
He held the phone to the boy's ear, "Speak."
Gu Yao's voice trembled as he spoke into the phone, "Brother Xuan..."
I could never say the rest.
Upon hearing the boy's address, Lu Zhilin paused for a moment, then smiled and put his phone away.
"Qi Xuan, this beauty is in tears. If you don't feel sorry for her, then let me feel sorry for her."
The voice coming through the phone remained perfectly calm, without a single inflection: "Whatever."
After saying that, Qi Xuan hung up the phone.
Lu Zhilin looked somewhat uninterested; Qi Xuan's almost nonexistent reaction was not what he wanted to see.
He looked at the boy in front of him, who looked deeply devastated, and chuckled, feeling somewhat bored.
He really couldn't see any redeeming qualities in the boy in front of him other than his face.
With such a small frame, she can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands.
What does Qi Xuan want from him?
This face?
That's really superficial.
Lu Zhilin acknowledged Qi Xuan's abilities, but he really disapproved of his taste.
Looking at this frail and delicate boy, who seemed like a dodder vine, I felt nothing but annoyance.
He reached out and touched Gu Yao's delicate and handsome face, but his interest was waning.
If the boy were more impulsive, he might have thought more highly of him.
He pushed the boy's face aside, slowly stood up, and winked at the restless people next to him.
"He's in your hands now, just don't kill him."
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the boy who was tilting his head to the side.
If you let your guard down with a seemingly fragile young man, he might take your life in the next second.
When those malicious, sticky gazes fell on Gu Yao, the feeling of being scrutinized and spied on made the young man want to use all his strength to be on guard and vigilant.
The long-dormant violence within me also rose from the depths of my heart.
It gradually eroded Gu Yao's rationality.
Although I know that Qi Xuan's words were just meant to mislead the person in front of me, they still sounded uncomfortable to me.
The warehouse door had been closed, leaving only the dim light of an old-fashioned tungsten bulb illuminating the area.
The rope binding her wrists also broke at this moment.
Gu Yao licked his lips, feeling a long-lost excitement in his heart.
He looked up at the three people approaching him and gripped the folding knife in his hand tightly.
Just as those rough, dark hands were about to touch the boy, a bewitching smile appeared on the boy's face.
Her voice was so soft it seemed like you could squeeze water out of it, but the words she spoke sent a chill down your spine.
"Are you looking for death?"
A murderous intent flickered in the boy's eyes. Before the people in front of him could react, they saw the boy leisurely stand up.
Hearing the noise behind him, Lu Zhilin turned around and saw that Gu Yao had already stood up, completely unrestrained.
Looking at the boy who had broken free of the ropes in front of him, Lu Zhilin raised an eyebrow.
This isn't a dodder vine, it's a giant domino!
He became interested and stopped walking.
Gu Yao looked at him and smiled, tilting his head.
The boy's smiling eyes crinkled, adding to his already beautiful face.
No one paid any attention to the frail person in front of them.
However, being careless is a major taboo in military strategy.
Gu Yao subtly moved his wrist, feeling the blood circulating in his leg.
The boy smiled, and even though his face was covered in dust, it did not diminish his charm in the slightest.
Everyone present was taken aback by that laugh.
Gu Yao suddenly exerted force with his legs, like an agile cheetah, and reached Lu Zhilin in two steps.
Lu Zhilin only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the sharp blade was pressed against his vulnerable neck.
Only at that moment did he realize that he had underestimated the boy in front of him.
