“Pretty? Ha, alright, then you can take your time and admire.” With that, Gu Mengmeng dashed towards Cole, her hand raised to Cole’s ear in the claw shape, aiming at his neck and was ready to break it into half.
Cole did not dodge or did he panic, he remained calm and composed sitting there and said, “There is a bewitching spell on Chixuan connected with me, he will perish once I die.”
With the syllabus of the sentence, Gu Mengmeng’s fingers had strangled onto Cole’s neck, she could break it with just a little strength.
There was a bloody color in Cole’s eyes. In an evil and arrogant way, he grinned and continued, without feeling the threat of losing his life at any second, “I left a dead knot on Sandy when I was casting the bewitching spell on her, she would have died on the spot if you forcefully overwrite her spell. A hostage as important as Chixuan… Do you think I will not leave some safety measures just in case?”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, this was the reason she did not dare to kill Cole hastily after snatching back Chixuan.
Cole chuckled and said, “You are not killing me?”
Gu Mengmeng withdrew her hand and kicked Cole instead.
Cole seemed to have see it coming, but purposely not dodge the kick and fell on the ground in a miserable state.
“Lea.” Gu Mengmeng turned back and look at Lea.
Bode’s injuries were not minor, but neither were they deadly. Lea had done a simple treatment of his wounds when Gu Mengmeng called him and he immediately came over to rescue Collin, Adali and Sandy’s other partners whom had been sat on by Cole moments ago.
Cole struggled to get up from the ground, he touched his left ribcage with his hand and, yes, he had broken three.
Every move he took the broken bones would be scratching against other organs, it was painful indeed.
Still smiling, Cole said, since the punishments are done, Ah Gu can enjoy the rest of the show now.”
Gu Mengmeng did not want to waste time on Cole, neither was she in the mood for watching the show Cole had invited her. She said with cold eyes, “Did you initiate the attack today?”
Cole threw back a question without answering, “Would you believe me if I deny it?”
“No,” Gu Mengmeng replied in a straightforward manner.
Cole sighed and said, “Alright, you can treat it as if I am the culprit.”
“Purpose, ” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Cole thought for a while and said, “Perhaps… It was because I am bored.”
Gu Mengmeng clearly did not believe, she did not think Cole would be someone that do things out of boredom.
Every single time, he had knitted the small matters that seemed unrelated to one another into a huge spiderweb step by step, almost forcing her into helpless situations.
Seeing Gu Mengmeng not believing in him, Cole frowned and said, “Or perhaps… I just wanted to make my presence seen in front of you, in case you forget about me from not seeing me in a long while.”
Gu Mengmeng’s face darkened as she slowly lost her patience.
“Gu Mengmeng…” A soft call sounded from behind her, accompanied by a light sobbing.
Sandy must have been so scared to make such sounds.
Gu Mengmeng could not be bothered with Cole’s aim anymore, she turned around and comforted Sandy first.
Lightly hugging Sandy into her arms, Gu Mengmeng patted Sandy’s back and said, “It’s alright now, I am here. I will protect you. You know… I am very strong.”
Sandy buried her face into Gu Mengmeng’s chest, her chubby little hand gripped onto Gu Mengmeng’s clothes and said in a crying tone, “I did not live up to you… Gu Mengmeng, I have failed you… I had been saved by Cole…”
