Chapter 95
While talking with Gu Minzhi, Xia Weishuang was always thinking about how to solve the current predicament.
But obviously, with a cat as a hostage, Xia Weishuang and the others were always at a disadvantage.
Xia Weishuang’s face still did not show any emotion. She continued to negotiate with Gu Minzhi. “What did you do to it? I can only tell you that I didn’t know it was you. It’s the most common thing to be on guard against outsiders.”
Gu Minzhi shrugged. “I didn’t do anything either. Xia Weishuang, I’m really tired of talking to you with my neck craned. Come down and talk.”
Xia Weishuang: “…Gu Minzhi, if you’re free, just put the cat down and leave quickly.”
Gu Minzhi seemed to have had enough of joking and sneered, “What if I don’t? Xia Weishuang, what do you think I came here for, for you? Hand over Sang Lu!”
So it was for Sang Lu after all.
Xia Weishuang’s heart sank. She took a step back against the wall and said in a low voice to Bai Qian and the others, “She’s not one to give up easily. You guys should leave quietly from the back of the hotel. If you really can’t, find a place to hide for a while. With so many rooms, she might not have the patience to check them one by one. Sister Qian, don’t worry. I’ll get Coal Ball back.”
Is this the time to be saying this? Bai Qian glared at Xia Weishuang, but she also knew that time was tight and there was no time for nonsense. She had no choice but to wave her hand, and with Wei Yunlang, she quietly retreated, preparing to go downstairs.
Of course, she was not going to leave now, but to find a suitable place to ambush, and also to settle Mi Lele.
A conflict was almost unavoidable. They had to find a way to reduce the enemy’s effective strength when they were coming up the stairs. They had set some traps before and had blocked the stairs. They could take advantage of this gap to attack the enemy from a blind spot.
Mi Lele, however, was not very willing to hide alone. “My ability is also useful. I’ll go with my brother and sister!”
Wei Yunlang patted her head and said, “This is not a joke…”
The people behind were discussing how to deal with the enemy. Xia Weishuang was still at the window, confronting Gu Minzhi.
Xia Weishuang said calmly, “Hand her over? What do you think Sang Lu is? You’ve seen it before. That kind of monster is not something an ordinary person can deal with. She just sees me as prey. I only managed to survive by faking my death and shaking her off. If your target is her, I suggest you go to the seaside to look.”
Gu Minzhi pursed her lips and looked at Xia Weishuang. A person beside her turned his head and whispered a few words in her ear.
Gu Minzhi then burst out laughing. “Do you know that what I hate the most about you is your pretense? I don’t know why Sang Lu has become like this, and I don’t know what you’ve done to her, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll ask her slowly in the future.”
Gu Minzhi looked at Xia Weishuang with a cold gaze and said, “Xia Weishuang, the only thing you need to do now is to hand over Sang Lu. Hiss… don’t say such things. Do you think I’m that stupid to be fooled by you? Isn’t Sang Lu lying right next to you? Oh right, and…”
Gu Minzhi smiled with ill intent. “Your three little friends, are they planning to run away quietly, or are they planning to come down and see me?”
Wei Yunlang, who had just opened the door: “…???” How did that woman know all this?
Xia Weishuang’s heart sank, but her face did not show it. She raised her chin slightly and said, “The person next to you, does he have the ability of clairvoyance?”
Gu Minzhi rolled her eyes. The second thing she hated most about Xia Weishuang was that she was sometimes too smart.
Xia Weishuang said, “Alright then. Sang Lu is indeed by my side, but I can’t command her at all. Gu Minzhi, are you a smart person?”
Gu Minzhi: “…Are you mocking me?”
Xia Weishuang was calm and composed. “Not at all. I just want to say that a smart person should understand that Sang Lu is not the person she used to be. She is now a dangerous and inhuman monster, and is essentially uncontrollable. It’s useless for you to ask me to hand her over. She won’t listen to me. She only listens to herself.”
Xia Weishuang turned her head and shouted at Sang Lu, “Sang Lu, come on. Gu Minzhi is looking for you.”
Sang Lu indeed had no reaction. Xia Weishuang spread her hands at the window. “See, I told you she doesn’t listen to me. I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t do anything about her.”
Gu Minzhi pursed her lips and stared at Xia Weishuang, not knowing what she was thinking. The person who was suspected of having clairvoyance whispered a few more words in her ear.
Gu Minzhi sneered and said, “It’s quite funny. Your relationship wasn’t so harmonious before. Xia Weishuang, you said she has become a dangerous and inhuman monster. Do you still love her?”
Xia Weishuang narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Minzhi. “What, are you trying to say you love her?”
Gu Minzhi tilted her head and said, “I’m trying to say you’re really stupid. If I were you, I would have coaxed her and made her do my bidding.”
Xia Weishuang’s face turned cold. Recalling all the things that had happened after her reunion with Sang Lu, she not only felt absurd but also amused. In the eyes of outsiders, it turned out that this matter was so simple.
“You keep saying you like her. Is this your liking? Regardless of her soul, regardless of her experience, and regardless of her thoughts, you only care if she’s pretty and if she can be used by you,” Xia Weishuang sighed softly and said. “Gu Minzhi, you’re as annoying and superficial as ever.”
Gu Minzhi spread her hands. “Say whatever you want. Anyway, she will be mine in the end. If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a forfeit. Since you’re not willing to hand her over, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Although she said this, Gu Minzhi’s expression had long since been filled with a kind of excitement. She was eager to try and was very much looking forward to what would happen next. In fact, even if Xia Weishuang had obediently handed over Sang Lu, she would still not have let them go.
Gu Minzhi threw the Coal Ball in her hand to the ground. The black cat, which seemed to have been unconscious, woke up with a shiver.
Xia Weishuang immediately held her gun and aimed at the window, confronting the people downstairs. As soon as she moved, the few people who had been awkwardly standing at the door, not knowing whether to leave or not, also reacted. It was a sign that the other party was about to act.
Bai Qian pushed Wei Yunlang. “You take Lele and go. I’ll go with Little Shuang.”
Wei Yunlang pulled Mi Lele and frowned. “You don’t have a combat ability. Can you do it? Let’s just go together. Xia Weishuang, don’t be in a daze. Come over quickly!”
“No, wait a minute!” Xia Weishuang’s face was a little strange as she looked out the window. “They’re not planning to shoot directly.”
“Huh?”
Xia Weishuang thought for a moment and gritted her teeth. “Sister Qian, come and take a look.”
Hearing this, Bai Qian was a little surprised. After all, Xia Weishuang had just told them to leave. Bai Qian came to the window, pressed against the wall, and carefully looked down.
She saw a black cat slowly growing larger downstairs.
It was Coal Ball.
Coal Ball is awake! Coal Ball is fine! Bai Qian was incomparably happy about this, but soon, she could no longer smile.
Because she found that Coal Ball’s expression was both ferocious and pained. The huge mutated beast stood where it was, anxiously grinding its claws, and a low, uneasy roar came from its throat.
Xia Weishuang said coldly, “You’re controlling it?”
Gu Minzhi shrugged and smiled wildly. “Yes. Isn’t my ability very powerful? You don’t know, but when I was sleeping last night, I was so happy when I thought of this scene that I couldn’t sleep! Xia Weishuang, how does it feel to have your own people fight each other? Isn’t it satisfying?”
Coal Ball roared, and finally, unable to resist Gu Minzhi’s ability, it pounced towards the Zhenhua Grand Hotel.
