Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Persist for a Few More Hours
“I’ve always found it impossible to bring back the dead, but you always remind me of a dead man. I wonder if I also just desire your death too much.” Qin Youxuan sneered as she glanced at the box meal in front of her.
He really looks so much like Bai Huo.
Apart from the differences in temperament, their faces are virtually identical.
Except that, the Bai Huo in the photo exuded much more righteousness, while this person in front of her… was the spitting image of a devil.
At her words, she clearly saw Wu Qing pause in the middle of opening his meal box, giving her a sideways glance.
“You’re very honest. Many people want me dead, but they dare not voice it.”
With those words, he continued to open the box, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
Qin Youxuan’s hands were tied behind her. There was no way she could eat on her own. She could only glare at him.
Wu Qing glanced at the indignant Qin Youxuan and held the meal box to her mouth.
Qin Youxuan turned her head without thinking.
If she could, she wanted to spit into the meal box and make him eat it.
“It seems you’re not hungry. Would you like to hear some good news first?” Wu Qing casually took a couple of mouthfuls, put down the box, dusted off his shirt collar, and turned around.
Qin Youxuan glared at him, biting her lip without uttering a word.
For three days straight, she did not know how many questions she had bombarded him with.
The results were always the same; she was left with no answers.
His responses were always cryptic and elusive, cleverly avoiding the main point.
“Dan Hanjie has found the secret exit we used to leave Yujing Villa. He is currently deploying people to block the entire city to find you,” Wu Qing looked at Qin Youxuan and said, each word deliberate and spaced apart.
Qin Youxuan quickly raised her head, staring blankly into his eyes, trying to determine whether or not he was lying.
“You don’t believe me.”
“You’ve deceived me before.” Qin Youxuan pointed out the crux of the problem.
From the beginning, Wu Qing used her background to frame her, aiming to lure her out of Yujing Villa.
But she didn’t take the bait.
Worried that anything that happened to her might affect Dan Hanjie, she resisted her curiosity and didn’t fall for the trap.
Even if she was desperate to find out her background, she didn’t pursue it.
It was the video of Dan Hanjie being ambushed on the island that eventually broke her resolve.
But once she was brought here, Qin Youxuan realized that the video was just a scam.
The video had been edited in advance to create that effect.
Dan Hanjie had safely returned to the Yujing Villa on the day she disappeared.
Qin Youxuan was both relieved and irate.
She could have slapped herself.
If she could have remained calm for just a few more hours, she would have been able to see him.
Instead, she could only stay trapped in this pitch-black room, waiting for someone to rescue her.
She doesn’t even know what this man called Wu Qing intends to do with her…
“You sure know how to hold a grudge. I only deceived you once and you’ve been holding onto it this whole time.” Wu Qing laughed lightly, opening a can of beer and taking a big gulp.
His casual drinking style carried a certain unspoken elegance, making him seem nothing like someone who would resort to kidnapping and blackmail.
“If I’m not wrong, with that wolf around, Dan Hanjie should be able to follow the clues and find this place very quickly,” Wu Qing said, glancing at Qin Youxuan as he put down the beer can.
Upon hearing him mention Da Bai, Qin Youxuan finally couldn’t sit still.
She was beginning to believe his words.
It had been three days, with Dan Hanjie’s capabilities, it was impossible for him to find nothing.
