Chapter 1993 - 1987: Controlling Her

And over there...

Gu Qingcheng walked into the hotel, "Why are you meddling in my affairs?"

"I’ve told you before, that woman, Sumen S, is not simple. If you still want to play with her, you think you can beat her. I’m telling you, you’re playing with fire."

Gu Qingcheng looked at him.

Wutao Shuize, his brother.

Unlike his brother, he was raised in Z Country from a young age, and nobody knows his true identity. Meetings with family were all through computer video calls. Though they spoke and met every day, those feelings were never like living together.

But Gu Qingcheng had already become accustomed to such feelings.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Wutao Shuize, "I genuinely didn’t know she had so many connections, but she’s not just going to play me."

"Not yet, but do you even know who those people around you were today? I’ve told you before, you’re being played. You don’t understand anything about the people outside."

"Enough! I’m not as weak as you think. Even if I don’t know, I’m controlling her, so I don’t need to worry about anything else."

"Ha, you still want to control Sumen S."

"Why not? She’s also tied to explosives that I’m controlling right now!"

Gu Qingcheng said with a flushed face, only to see Wutao Shuize standing there dazed for a moment before suddenly walking over with a bright face.

"Are you serious?"

Gu Qingcheng shut his mouth instantly.

But, the words were already out, evidently impossible to take back.

Watching Wutao Shuize squinting in thought, he said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing, it’s an angle we can use anyway. Tell me, how are you controlling it."

A complex feeling welled up inside Gu Qingcheng.

Initially, he didn’t expect to want anything from Ye Ning.

Born indifferent, having witnessed life and death countless times, endured endless training, yet now, there’s a place in his heart unexpectedly cracking open...

He didn’t want to see Ye Ning harmed at all.

...

Ye Ning felt it necessary to talk to Xiaojian.

With other children, maybe she’d think coaxing them would be enough.

But Xiaojian is the King of M Country.

Moreover, not to mention his deeds within the M Country royal family, and the fear his surroundings have towards him, which made her feel uneasy.

Ye Ning looked at Mu Yeli’s wound, bending down to clean it.

Inadvertently, she nudged him.

"Oh dear, is it okay?"

Ye Ning quickly dropped the cotton ball, asking him, "Did it hurt?"

Mu Yeli said, "What are you doing? You’re so distracted."

Ye Ning sat down, saying, "I think I still need to talk to Xiaojian. This isn’t right, this isn’t good, but how should I say it?"

Mu Yeli said, "You don’t have to worry about these people, I will take you away from here."

Ye Ning still shook her head, "I don’t want anyone to die because of me, especially those who should have been innocent."

Mu Yeli sighed, looking at her.

"What about me?"

Ye Ning paused, looking at him, "You..."

"Can you watch anything happen to me?"

"No... why are you saying this?"

"So, I hope you’ll come back with me. You’re very dangerous here."

Ye Ning said, "Now, I’m dangerous no matter where I am."

She didn’t tell him about the bomb on her foot.
