NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: Cheat (3)
At the same time, the way he was looking at Su Ran was not very friendly either.
“Hrm! It seems you have learned quite a bit hanging around those places for 10 years. You have learned how to blackmail someone, except that….” Grinding his teeth and with a proud look on him, he said, “Do you really think you will be able to walk out of here alive today?”
After all, with his unmentionable past, Gu Jiahao was an experienced villain and was able to quickly turn the table back on her.
Or so he thought.
As a vicious supporting character in a novel, Su Ran wouldn’t be surprised by anything coming out of him.
She was surprised by what he said, but she feigned calmness and smiled.
“I forgot to mention. When I left my cellphone at the entrance, I also texted the cops that I was kidnapped. They should be here soon using GPS tracking.
“Of course,” she said after a little pause. “A not-so-upstanding gathering plus the disappearance of someone of no importance is not a big deal.” Even a family like the Gu’s would be able to put a lid on it.
“Except I’ve heard that there was a promotion on ‘Building a Better & Safer City” in City Bei recently. I seem to remember Leader Wang as the leader of this promotion.”
“My life is more or less over so whether I live or die is not a big deal, but the Gu’s…. what a bummer.”
“You…!” Gu Jiahao wanted to rebut what she had said but quickly realized she couldn’t be more correct. Killing a wench was not a big deal, but it’d be silly to bring troubles to himself.
Besides, since when did this wench become so wise? Or, was this a message to him? That someone sent her here to bring trouble to the Gu’s?
As Gu Jiahao was staring at Su Ren and the air was filled with awkwardness, Su Ran turned to Su Han and said, “Let’s go.”
“I….”
Su Han frowned.
Su Han might be young and inexperienced, but he was smart. He had already gathered from the conversation between Su Ran and the man that this so-called “we are just there to add to headcount to an upper-class banquet and make some friends” banquet wasn’t what it seemed.
Not to mention that the appearance of Su Ran was like a bucket of cold water that had already drowned his earlier excitement.
He would want to leave even if Su Ran hadn’t said so.
That being said, he might want to leave, but he didn’t want to leave with her.
This time, Su Ran didn’t give him the chance to reject her. She grabbed him by his arm and dragged him out of the mansion.
Recovering from the shock of she-found-out-about-my-secret and who-sent-her-to-mess-with-me, Gu Jiahao wanted to have Su Ran killed right now, immediately, this very moment. Unfortunately, like a snake being pinched, he couldn’t move at all.
Finally, Gu Jiahao could only looked on venomously at the direction where Su Ran had left from as he plotted how he’d torture that wench to death once all the issues had been settled.

On the other hand, the two had walked out of Dongshan Court and Su Han, without hesitation, shook off Su Ran’s hand.
Su Ran, having gotten out of the earlier situation alive, her back was drenched with cold sweat. The moment that she was able to catch some fresh air, she was finally able to let out a sigh of relief and her tingling limbs went numb instantly.
She stumbled when Su Han shook her hand off.
