Chapter 1296: They’re Already Together (7)
After a long silence…
“Don’t you want to ask me what I’m betting on?” Uncle Yu said.
Mu Huan said unhappily, “What?”
“In a while, I’ll leave and let you and Chenyi have dinner alone. I’ll even have him make you drink hard liquor. You’ll cooperate with him and pretend to get drunk. After you’re drunk, if he can do anything to you, it’ll be considered your loss. The two of you can stay together like this. If he can’t do anything to you, then it’ll be my loss. If I lose, whether Chenyi can give up on you after a week or not, you can go home safely.”
The corners of Mu Huan’s lips twitched. “Do you think I’m stupid? Like I’ll make a bet with you on this! Gu Chenyi has just been hypnotized by you to the point that he has no morals and no sense of shame. You want me to make a bet with you on this?! What a f*cking obvious loss! Yet you still want me to bet!”
“You’re not stupid. You just don’t have a choice,” Uncle Yu said as he placed a knife against Mu Huan’s neck. His expression was saying, “If you don’t want to make this bet, then die immediately.”
Mu Huan: “…”
Freaking h.e.l.l! Freaking h.e.l.l! Was he addicted to threatening her?
“Didn’t we agree on an honest deal?” They had agreed on an honest deal, but now, he had changed his mind! Couldn’t there still be some integrity between people?
“I never agreed on being honest. Just with not giving you that medicine,” Uncle Yu said.
It wasn’t that he didn’t keep his word. Their honest deal was just regarding him not giving her the medicine. It wasn’t that he couldn’t change his method.
Mu Huan: “…”
After being speechless for a while, she said, “Since you have such plans, just use force. Why did you still make such an honest deal with me? Are you playing with me?”
“There are some things that can turn one from being a bystander to being the mastermind. Even if Gu Chenyi can accept failure now, I can’t accept it.” Uncle Yu had received news today that Bo Junyan had gotten someone to restore the photos he’d had edited. If he could have such photos repaired, then it would be quick work for him to find this place.
He was not afraid of Bo Junyan, but he was afraid that when the time came, Gu Chenyi would not be able to hold on because of him. In the end, he might only give up and end the matter. This was equivalent to him trying his best and still failing.
He would not allow such a failure! In the end, even if both sides suffered losses, he could not be the only one to lose!
Mu Huan looked at the knife on her neck and thought for a moment. “Can you guarantee that if he can’t do anything to me, I can leave in a week?”
“Yes, yes,” Uncle Yu affirmed. If Gu Chenyi could not overcome the hurdle in his heart under such circ.u.mstances, he would not need to be with Mu Huan anymore. She could naturally leave.
Then, he continued, “But this will have to be done without you scheming. To put it simply, if he himself can’t do it, you win. If you do anything, you lose. When the time comes, I’ll knock you out and give you to Gu Chenyi.”
After a moment of silence, Mu Huan said, “Alright!”
Her obedience made Uncle Yu narrow his eyes. “You agreed so easily? Didn’t you say that this was an obvious loss?”
This made him feel that she had other plans.
“Then what should I do? Just let you slit my throat?” Mu Huan snapped.
Uncle Yu had wanted to say something, but now, as long as she agreed, as long as she drank, it would be fine. If she had other plans and did something, it would be perfect. He could then use force directly. “Alright, then, it’s settled.”
Just as the two of them had settled down, Gu Chenyi walked in.
“Chenyi, come over and eat. Xiao Huan made these especially for you.” Uncle Yu invited him to sit down and eat.
