"Zhang Yila, I am just an ordinary woman. I don't know what he is talking about, so don't tell me any more. I don't know anything." Gu Ruoyun gritted her teeth and said. She didn't believe that anyone would be kind to her, she only knew that she was the only one who could protect herself better.

Zhang Yilan didn't say anything else. He tidied up the clothes in the room and left.

As time passed, Gu Ruoyun seemed to sense someone approaching. She turned around and saw Leng Liancheng's slender figure leaning against the door, staring at her with a cold expression. Seeing Gu Ruoyun turn around, he walked towards her with graceful steps.

Gu Ruoyun moved her body back a little in fear. The wound on her arm was nothing, but her feet weren't convenient. She moved a little but gave up in the end.

"That woman called Bi Xue is currently in Nangong Yan's hands." Leng Liancheng seemed to be muttering to himself as he walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

She was startled, but didn't say anything. She lowered her head to look at her wrist, seeing the bruises on it. She reached out her slender fingers and kept stroking it.

Being injured was something that she had encountered frequently recently. Perhaps it was because she would be in danger one dangerous thing after another after she had completed her mission.

"If you tell me, I might be able to get you to meet her." Leng Liancheng tried to entice her, but Gu Ruoyun raised her head and looked at him coldly without saying a word.

She closed her lips and smiled coldly. This man didn't seem to understand. How could she believe him? She didn't know him well, and if he helped her, it was only to dig a trap for her to jump into.

Of course, she admitted that she had naively thought that wouldn't happen, but now it seemed that she was no longer his opponent. The only way to deal with him was to not confront him head on.

"Stop wasting time, I don't know anything, I don't know anyone." Gu Ruoyun closed her eyes, she could feel his gaze was about to pierce into her heart. Her whole body trembled, and her small hands tightly held onto the sheet without letting go.

"I don't know how Nangong Yan will deal with her, but I do know that she won't live for long." Leng Liancheng looked at her expression and calmly spoke as if he was talking about something fun.

Gu Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if what he said was true or not, but the only thing she could do was to remain calm. No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't let him see through her weakness.

Sometimes Gu Ruoqing found herself a double character, sometimes calm, sometimes impulsive, sometimes stupid, and sometimes even a little bit of intelligence and rationality.

"Good, very good." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Leng Liancheng squatted down, looking down at Gu Ruoyun condescendingly as he pinched her chin.

Gu Ruoyun felt her chin about to be crushed by his hand. Plus the wounds he had previously given her, his hand strength was now extremely strong. However, she still tightly clenched her lips in pain with a stubborn look in her eyes.

"Seems like quite a good material." He suddenly sneered, slapped her on the cheek a few times, then released her.

Gu Ruoyun suddenly opened her eyes. She saw Leng Liancheng standing in front of her with a cold expression, an indifferent tone, graceful posture, and every single movement she made was telling her that he had an extremely good cultivation and a bloodthirsty hobby.

"Haha, threatening a woman is what you are." Gu Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh, her laugh was somewhat contemptuous.

Back then, she had some good feelings towards him. She felt that he wasn't as cold-blooded as the rumors say. It seemed that he had another side to him.

Unfortunately, all of this had changed. She seemed to have seen his true face. Previously, she was innocent and did not believe that this society was so dark. It was a pity that she could still see the dark world. Regardless of whether it was day or night, danger would constantly befall her.

"But don't worry, I will find Lin Yishan and have him give you to me." As Leng Liancheng spoke, Gu Ruoqing stared at his tall and straight nose, and looked at his impeccably beautiful face. She felt that he was the envoy from hell.

Gu Ruoyun didn't say anything, she was too lazy to waste any more energy. She only looked at him silently, as if she was looking through him at a wisp of air.

"But don't worry. I've already found some clues about the last theft. I don't mind bringing you along to face it." Leng Liancheng lowered his head and spoke with an ice-cold voice that frightened Gu Ruoyun.

He seemed to be unable to see through her. He was able to control her life and death, but now, the person she was afraid of was Leng Liancheng. She only felt that this man seemed to be even more terrifying than the leader.

He was smiling, but he would kill you by letting you watch him laugh.

"Go ahead and investigate. Whatever you want to do is up to you. In any case, it has nothing to do with me, so what am I afraid of?" Gu Ruoyun gritted her teeth as she spoke, enunciating every word. Her ice-cold tone made him feel slightly surprised.

Leng Liancheng grabbed her shoulders and lifted the sheet over her with his other hand. Gu Ruoyun kept struggling. She tried to pull back the sheet, but he held her hand.

"What are you doing?" Gu Ruoyun was also a little afraid, the calmness from before disappeared once again. Leng Liancheng held her small hand, and the more she struggled, the more tightly he held her hand, as if he wanted to control her entire body.

"Ah …" "No, please …" At this moment, Gu Ruoyun watched as he took out his phone. Inside the phone was a recording. This familiar voice made Gu Ruoyun afraid.

If she remembered correctly, this was the voice of Bi Xue. She had heard Bi Xue scream and beg for mercy. She had never heard Bi Xue be this scared before.

Among the three of them, An Lan was the most flirtatious, while Bi Xue was the coolest and strongest, and she was the dumbest. They played together until they grew up, trained together, and went through difficult days together, but they had never heard of Bi Xue encountering any difficulties.

Gu Ruoyun had always regarded Bi Xue as a role model for her. She had always thought that there would come a day where she and Bi Xue would be as formidable as she was now. But now, she seemed to have fallen into a state of disarray.

"Think about it carefully. There's a contract here, come find me once you've signed it." Leng Liancheng released Gu Ruoyun. He turned off the recording, straightened his clothes, and left gracefully and elegantly.

Gu Ruoyun watched him leave. She bit her lips in hatred, but didn't say anything. She hugged the bed sheet and cried softly.

What was she going to do? It was indeed Bi Xue's voice. It was as if she had encountered something terrifying, causing her to beg for mercy in fear. This was the first time she heard Bi Xue begging for mercy, causing her heart to clench into a knot.

"Bi Xue, what should I do?" Gu Ruoyun's eyes opened wide as she spoke, tears once again wetting her eyes. She stood up naked and stepped on the ground with her injured foot.

The pain numbed her, and she made her way to the window, step by step. She pushed it open and let the breeze in.
