Before leaving, Qin Fang glanced at Lu Chengzhou nosily. He Yidu also glanced at him. No one knew how this matter should be handled. Gu Si created such a big ruckus and yet Gu Mang acquiesced.
Soon only Lu Chengzhou was left in front of the cabin. He took the spare key and walked to the door of Gu Mang’s room. After standing at the door for a long time, he lifted his hand and opened the lock with the key. He pushed to open the door. The furniture was very simple. Bed, table, chair, and cabinet.
The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, as if a military man had done it. He walked in, stood in the middle of the room, turned his face slightly, and his gaze stopped at the table. There were two chocolates on it. Lu Chengzhou took a few steps over, stood by the table, and saw that the chocolates were of the brand that he had bought for her.
His fingers quivered uncontrollably again. After taking a slow breath, he walked to the bed and sat down. After sitting for a few seconds, he lay down on his side. He breathed in a familiar smell.
Gu Mang’s.
Silence is Gu Mang.
He stared blankly ahead. Gu Mang probably wanted him dead as well, otherwise she would not have cooperated with Gu Si so much. When they captured Silence back then, he knew that Silence was a tough one. When they tortured her, he had ordered the law enforcement hall to not show any mercy at all.
When Xing Zhi reported to him on the progress of the torture, he expressed that he had never seen anyone endure the law enforcement hall for so long.
Beaten up, broken bones, forced to take pills…
Lu Chengzhou put his arms over his eyes to block out light. His jaw tightened.
He seemed not to know what to do anymore.
After some time, the sound of footsteps came from outside. The sound of the footsteps got closer and closer. Lu Chengzhou opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, his body a little tense. He stared straight at the door.
The door opened.
The girl wore a hat and mask. Her face could not be seen clearly and most of her eyebrows and eyes were covered.
Military boots, camouflage pants, and training suit jacket zippered to the chin. She was covered up tightly from head to toe. Her figure was thin and tall. One hand in her pocket, the dark night was behind her.
Their eyes met.
Gu Mang did not seem surprised at all. She came in calmly and kicked the door closed with her foot. She walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down casually. Every move of hers had an inexplicable sense of rebelliousness.
Lu Chengzhou just stared straight at her. If it weren’t for the fact that he knew her well, anyone would definitely think this Gu Mang was actually a man.
They didn’t speak for a long time.
Gu Mang had long expected Gu Si to be discovered by Lu Chengzhou. So when the surveillance room suddenly contacted her to ask her to come back, she already knew that Lu Chengzhou was here.
She took off her hat and mask. Her long hair fell on her shoulders, revealing her delicate features. Lu Chengzhou’s heart felt like it would jump out of his chest at any moment. He stared at her face for a moment and clenched his fists.
Gu Mang calmly combed her hair with her fingers, took a piece of chocolate casually, removed the wrapper, and threw the tin foil into the trash can. Then she leaned sideways with her arms propped on the table supporting her face, her eyes turned towards him.
Seeing that he was obviously tense, the corner of Gu Mang’s mouth curled up and her eyes looked evil. She put the chocolate in her mouth and chewed slowly.
Lu Chengzhou’s heart beat wildly from being stared at her like that. He had never felt so tense. His voice was low and hoarse. “Are you Silence?”
It was as if he wanted to hear her speak so he asked a silly question.
Gu Mang smiled. “Yeah.”
