Gu Yanran paused slightly, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for him to continue.
Qi Che lowered his head, and when he raised it again, his expression had changed and his eyes were earnest, as if he really had something to hide.
"I was coerced by Chu Hong. He used our child as a threat and asked me to... do things for her."
"Yanran, I know you hate me, but I am more miserable than you in losing our child. I have dreamed of him so many times in the middle of the night, and my heart is broken."
When Gu Yanran heard him mention the child, a hint of pain flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of ridicule.
"So? Qi Che, are you trying to tell me that you still love me? You left me in the dilapidated temple to fend for myself, and even captured ten men in Youzhou City..."
Thinking of that humiliating past, Gu Yanran's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty cruelty.
She moved and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Qi Che. She put her hands around Qi Che's neck with a distorted expression.
"Do you think I'm still the same weak and incompetent Gu Yanran who was fooled by a few words from you?"
As she spoke, she exerted force on her hands, tightening her fingers inch by inch.
Qi Che suddenly felt difficulty breathing and his face turned red.
"Kill, kill me, you...you won't survive..."
"Oh?" Gu Yanran pondered, admiring his embarrassment. A surge of hatred gradually formed in her eyes.
"Qi Che, you ruined my life. I narrowly escaped death and am staying here with my last breath just to seek revenge on you."
"Now, you've come to me on your own. Isn't this God's mercy? Don't worry, considering that we were once husband and wife, I won't let you die in too much pain..."
She suddenly changed her stance and grabbed Qi Che's chin, her force as if to crush his bones. "I will drain your blood bit by bit, letting you experience the feeling of wanting to live but not being able to, wanting to die but not being able to. I will let you experience for yourself how I have endured these days."
Gu Yanran's voice was as gentle as the whispers between lovers, but her words were full of poison.
"When your blood and essence nourish me and I succeed, I will carry your head to offer sacrifice to my unborn child."
After saying that, Gu Yanran's fingers slowly moved down, finally stopping at Qi Che's carotid artery.
“Squeak!”
The sound of skin breaking was heard, and all the senses were infinitely amplified in the confined space underground.
Qi Che only felt a warm current winding down his neck, while Gu Yanran buried her head in his neck and sucked hard on the wound.
"No! Don't!"
Qi Che's face instantly lost all color, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
Death was approaching him step by step, and he felt the blood in his body flowing rapidly.
He tried desperately to control his fear, but his body was completely out of control and Gu Yanran sucked even harder.
At this moment, the maid suddenly pushed the door open.
"Miss, there are many soldiers outside, searching every room. Mom wants you to go up and deal with them quickly."
Gu Yanran's expression froze, and she was impatient at being interrupted.
She glanced unwillingly at Qi Che, whose face was pale, licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, and spoke in a coquettish voice.
"Husband~ Let's continue later~"
When she turned around, she ordered the maid in a cold voice: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him run away."
After giving the instructions, Gu Yanran turned around and went upstairs.
As soon as she reached the corridor, she saw a group of soldiers kicking down doors and searching every room. Gu Yanran's heart sank.
These officers and soldiers seemed to be more ferocious and brutal than before.
She adjusted her dress, put on a charming smile on her face, and walked forward with her waist twisted.
"Sir, who are you looking for? Why is there such a big fuss?"
The leader, Lin Qi, was checking the men standing in line when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It was the unlucky guy whose clothes were stolen by Qi Che before. He was now standing at the end of the team with a sly look in his eyes and his head half lowered.
Lin Qi strode forward and grabbed the man by the collar: "Where did this clothes come from?"
The man was so frightened that his legs went limp and he stammered, "Yes, it's mine... No, it's not..."
"Is it true?" Lin Qi's eyes became fierce, and the sword on his waist made a slight sound.
"Sir, spare me!" The man thumped to his knees. "I found these clothes at the door. Just now, a thief broke into my room and stole my clothes."
Lin Qi's eyes sharpened, and he immediately turned to Chu Hong and said, "Your Highness, Qi Che must still be in the building."
Chu Hong swept his eyes across the crowd without a trace of emotion, his voice as cold as ice:
"Pass the order down, check every room carefully. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find the person!"
"yes!"
At the corner, Gu Yanran heard Chu Hong's voice and cold sweat suddenly broke out on her palms.
She never expected that Chu Hong would come after her in person.
It looks like that bastard Qi Che must have stirred up a hornet's nest.
Gu Yanran quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind. She was also a wanted criminal in Da Chu. Although she had makeup on her face, people who were not familiar with her would not be able to recognize her at all.
But who is Chu Hong?
As soon as she shows up, you can definitely recognize her.
Damn it!
What should I do now?
Gu Yanran was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, seeing that the searching guards were about to turn the corner and walk towards her.
At this time, a maid carrying a tray happened to pass by here. Gu Yanran recognized that she was the maid in the building, and her name seemed to be Xiao Cui.
Gu Yanran thought quickly and grabbed Xiao Cui's wrist, dragging her into the storage room without saying a word.
"Cui'er, do me a favor, these are all for you."
