Chapter 185
"You!" After all, she needed his help, so even though He Baixuan was furious, she still held back from cursing.
"And they're blind in both eyes and heart!"
He Baixuan could no longer bear it, especially when Gu Yuhan uttered those words with a stern face. The implication in his words was as if he had pinned her to the ground and belittled her to nothing!
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Gu Yu suddenly turned around, turned her back, and started to leave. But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. "He Baixuan, I'm going to kill Lu Rou. My last promise will be fulfilled, and I won't stay here anymore."
This is probably the longest sentence Gu Yu has said to her in the past three years.
It felt as if ants were crawling and gnawing at her heart, a tingling, painful, and itchy sensation. Her throat was dry as she said, "Of course. As long as you kill Lu Rou, you can leave."
Gu Yu didn't speak, but gave her a deep look before leaving. Then, without a word, he picked up his sword and left.
He Baixuan sat inside. The sun was gradually setting, and a warm orange glow fell on the snow that had not yet completely melted.
It was a scene she was used to seeing and was tired of, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a little lonely.
However, she quickly came to her senses.
If Lu Rou were to die, Lu Jiang would surely be devastated.
But it doesn't matter. Once she marries into the Lu family and lives in harmony with Lu Jiang, she will surely burn incense and pray to Buddha every day, begging for Lu Rou's forgiveness.
It was late at night.
The night in Shanzhou was filled with auspiciousness.
Only a few barely perceptible footsteps on the street betrayed the pretense of quiet.
A person dressed in thin black clothes leaped back and forth on the rooftops in the night, and the shadow of this person was not smooth under the moonlight.
He was carrying a person on his shoulder!
The weight of the two men did not break his movements at all; on the contrary, his steps remained steady and powerful.
The night patrolman inspected the streets, and all unauthorized persons were forbidden from going out at night.
Gu Yu stealthily entered a dilapidated courtyard with no lights on under the cover of night.
This is an empty courtyard; there are no houses inside.
Gu Yu kicked open the door and threw the unconscious woman off his shoulder onto the ground without any pity.
The people on the ground remained completely still, presumably unaware that while they were unconscious, they had been abducted from the Lu residence and taken to the dilapidated house.
Gu Yu closed all the doors and windows tightly, and even began to take off Lu Rou's outer clothes, which were thrown on the ground. The clothes were loosened a bit, and he took the curtains from inside the room to use as a white silk ribbon, trying to make the scene of Lu Rou's suicide after being humiliated more realistic, so as not to arouse suspicion from the government.
The fine cotton and linen curtains were the perfect length. Gu Yu silently and deftly twisted the curtains into a rope, wrapping it around the woman's delicate neck, his murderous intent fully revealed.
The woman was tightly bound by skin and flesh, making it difficult for her to breathe. She tried her best to tilt her head back and push her feet slightly against the ground.
However, Lu Rou, a petite woman, was no match for Gu Yu's strength.
Just as Gu Yu increased his strength and the woman's fragile neck was about to be broken, the door was suddenly flung open with a bang, and the half-person-high porcelain jar, along with the entire door, shattered completely.
Gu Yu was forced back several steps by the oncoming shards of wind. He put one arm in front of his eyes and his lower back hit the dusty table with a sickening sound before he finally stopped.
Several shadow guards filed in, and one of them rushed to snatch the woman on the ground. Gu Yu immediately reacted, picked up a wooden stool from the ground, and threw it at the other person.
