Chapter 225 A Trap Within a Trap, A Player in the Game



"Just a guess!"

The surname Fang, while not exactly rare, is not very common either.

At first glance, Fang Yuan was arrogant and unlikable, but as they got to know each other better, they found that he didn't have any bad intentions. He was just a foolish son of a landlord.

Furthermore, he has a straightforward and easygoing personality when dealing with people.

Guan Yuxi never associated him with that infamous name in later generations.

However, those who were chasing her let him go easily, and Fang Yuan himself seemed completely distracted.

If you think about it all together, is there anything Guan Yuxi doesn't understand?

Fang Yuan stared intently at Guan Yuxi, knowing that she was just being modest and actually knew everything.

"Then, can we still be friends?"

“I swear, I really didn’t know he would have someone kill you.”

He looked at Guan Yuxi nervously, feeling both frustrated and expectant.

Guan Yuxi looked directly into his eyes, "Who let you come back?"

Fang Yuan's gaze darkened for a moment, and he took out a note from his bag and handed it to her.

Guan Yuxi looked at it and nodded, "I understand."

"That......"

Seeing that he was about to speak but hesitated, he pretended to be pitiful in front of his wife.

Leng Lie couldn't take it anymore and dragged him away, saying, "It's getting late, you can go sleep on the floor now!"

Fortunately, Fang Minzhen and the others had prepared all the daily necessities, otherwise Fang Yuan would have had to buy bedding as well.

"I haven't had dinner yet."

How could you bear to mistreat a wounded soldier? I protest!

Fang Yuan struggled desperately, but he was no match for Leng Lie and was eventually locked in the room.

Was his grandfather very powerful?

When Leng Lie returned, he saw Guan Yuxi still frowning and thinking. He touched her forehead with his hand.

Guan Yuxi stared at him blankly for a long time before sighing and handing him the note in her hand. "This was written by Secretary Song."

Knowing that he was unaware of the situation, he explained, "While you were away, Secretary Song wrote back to Uncle Zhao."

This is his handwriting!

Leng Lie looked on, his brows furrowing. "Secretary Song and his grandfather..."

Judging from the current situation, they should be in a hostile relationship.

Why would Fang Yuan listen to him?

"Secretary Song and the people behind him are probably trying to protect us. Fang Yuan's grandfather... wants my life!"

Guan Yuxi looked at Leng Lie and broke through the barrier between them.

She knew that Fang Yuan could hear her from inside the house.

Leng Lie clenched his knuckles so tightly they cracked, wanting nothing more than to drag Fang Yuan out and beat him up.

Guan Yuxi grasped his hand and sighed, "It has nothing to do with him; it's just a difference in political views!"

Now he could guess what his grandfather was protecting.

This strengthened her resolve to hand those three pages to the old man who held the power to decide everyone's fate, the fate of their descendants.

However, she didn't know if Old Bai would believe her or help her pass on a message.

The thought of this made Guan Yuxi very irritable.

She behaved terribly in front of Mr. Bai; she could have done much better.

However, she didn't dare to completely trust him!

"Stop thinking about it, just leave it to fate."

Seeing her brows furrowing more and more, Leng Lie hugged her, offering her warmth and comfort.

"I'm sorry, Xixi, I'm so stupid."

I can't help you at all, and I don't even understand what you're trying to do.

He stroked her cheek, a slight sense of frustration rising within him.

He knew she was doing something big, something more important than life itself, something that she couldn't back down from.

But he couldn't help at all.

Not only could he not help her, he didn't even know what she was trying to do, let alone share her burden.

This sense of powerlessness gripped him deeply, making him uncertain about the future.

Guan Yuxi leaned comfortably against his chest. "No, you've helped me a lot."

His embrace and his comfort were her driving force.

She looked up at him and said, "I want to prevent Uncle Yu's tragedy from happening again. I want thousands upon thousands of Uncle Yus to be able to emerge from that dark period."

I wish this winter would end quickly, and that the vibrant spring and lush summer would arrive soon...

Brother Lie, will you always stand behind me?

She covered her cold, fierce lips, her gaze darkening slightly, and said again, "This is just my personal dream."

It's possible that I won't even be able to stand in front of that person before I die.

It's also possible that even if I stand in front of him, he won't believe me, and I'll still only face death.

Brother Lie, promise me, no matter what, you won't stand against everyone, okay?

She loves this colorful world, loves the flowers of spring, the wind of summer, the leaves of autumn, and the snow of winter.

However, she didn't want the world to be buried with her when she was gone!

Leng Lie held her white fingers and kissed them, his lips trembling slightly.

The heartache in her eyes could not be hidden.

He wanted to stop her, but when he met her clear, bright eyes, he couldn't say anything.

He used all his strength to pull her into his arms, "Xixi, don't talk about dying, if we have to die, we'll die together!"

"Silly! I was just talking about the worst-case scenario."

Even if I die, no one is allowed to die.

You have to live well in my place, see things I've never seen, and eat things I've never eaten..."

Guan Yuxi pushed him away abruptly and covered his lips tightly.

She's dead, but perhaps she can still return to the 21st century.

And him...

Her nose tingled, and she almost couldn't hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.
