Qiao Hua's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and all he could hear was the rapid heartbeat.
She almost forgot.
Chen Xingjian has watched the plot and naturally knows that Gu Wenze gave her a positioning ring.
"So don't expect Gu Wenze to find you." Chen Xingjian revealed Qiao Hua's thoughts without mercy, "No matter how capable he is, there is no way I can hide you somewhere."
Qiao Hua's fingertips pinched hard into Chen Xingjian's hand. If it were anyone else, Gu Wenze would have been able to deal with it, but this time he was facing a raider who had watched the original plot.
It's like hitting an egg against a stone.
Qiao Hua took a deep breath, "What if I don't promise you?"
Chen Xingjian seemed to have guessed what Qiao Hua would say, and said calmly, "Before I go to hell, of course I will have someone to support me."
The threat in this sentence is obvious. If Qiao Hua disagrees, Chen Xingjian will not let her go.
Qiao Hua didn't want to anger Chen Xingjian at this time, "You have to give me time to think about it."
Chen Xingjian narrowed his eyes and pinched Qiao Hua's chin, "Are you trying to delay time?"
"If you want to wait for Gu Wenze to save you, I advise you to give up."
After his little idea was revealed, Qiao Hua remained calm and said, "Gu Wenze has lost all the rings he was looking for. How can he find me? I just want to think carefully about it. After all, this is not a trivial matter. I can't agree to it casually."
"I can give you time to think about it, but you only have one night." Chen Xingjian knew what Qiao Hua was thinking, but he didn't expose it. He was very confident in himself, and Gu Wenze would never find his place. "Tomorrow morning, you must give me an answer."
After saying that, Chen Xingjian turned and left, leaving Qiao Hua alone in the room.
Qiao Hua then breathed a sigh of relief. The clothes on her back were soaked with cold sweat at some point. She leaned against the bedside behind her and stared blankly at the empty ring finger on her hand.
There was a faint ring of scars left there.
Qiao Hua couldn't help but think, now that the ring is lost, can Gu Wenze still find her?
That should be possible, right?
After all, Gu Wenze is an omnipotent existence in the book.
Besides, Gu Wenze has saved her so many times, and he will definitely be able to save her this time.
Qiao Hua Comforting myself like this, I finally felt better.
Perhaps it was because he had been kidnapped too many times, but Qiao Hua's mentality was not affected at all and he slept until dawn.
When she opened her eyes, she saw sunlight shining through the curtains.
If she hadn't been tied up, she would have really wanted to open the curtains and see where this place was.
But even if she knew where this was, she couldn't notify Gu Wenze.
At this moment, a burst of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside.
The next second, the door was pushed open, and Chen Xingjian walked in from the outside carrying a dinner plate.
Seeing that Qiao Hua had woken up, Chen Xingjian didn't have much expression on his face and said calmly, "Let's have some breakfast."
Chen Xingjian changed into a light-colored suit, and his expression was as elegant as ever. If Qiao Hua hadn't known that he was a kidnapper, he might have been deceived by him.
Qiao Hua glanced at the breakfast, "How can I eat if you tie me up?"
Chen Xingjian stared at Qiao Hua for a while, then reached out and untied the rope for her.
"Hiss--"
Qiao Hua moved his wrist painfully, without much resistance, picked up the spoon and started eating.
Chen Xingjian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He originally thought Qiao Hua would go on a hunger strike.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiao Hua finally finished her breakfast. She put down the bowl and spoon and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
"What do you think?" Chen Xingjian finally said, "Are you going to leave with me, or am I going to use you as a backstop?"
Qiao Hua did not answer directly. She faced Chen Xingjian and said calmly, "I have a question to ask you first."
Chen Xingjian raised his eyebrows.
"Since you say I am the heroine, it means that my mission is to be with Gu Wenze, so I have lived with him for so long without being punished." Qiao Hua said, "If I leave with you now, how will I know if my mission is considered a failure?"
"I don't want your mission to be completed, but my mission to fail, and then I will be the one punished."
"No." Chen Xingjian said firmly, "I promise."
"What guarantee do you have?" Qiao Hua smiled, "You are just like me, just a raider."
Looking at Qiao Hua's sarcastic smile, Chen Xingjian was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Because I have done such tasks many times."
Sure enough.
Chen Xingjian is not the first time to be a raider.
No wonder his kidnapping techniques are so sophisticated. Maybe he has treated other raiders in this way before.
Qiao Hua suppressed his thoughts, "Even if you have done such a task before, it does not mean that you will not make mistakes this time."
Chen Xingjian seemed to notice something. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, "Qiao Hua, are you delaying time on purpose?"
There was a stinging pain in his chin, Qiao Hua said without changing his expression, "I just want to ask clearly. I can't go back with you in such a daze. As a result, my mission failed. Should I be punished?"
Chen Xingjian observed Qiao Hua's expression, as if he wanted to see traces of lying on her face.
Qiao Hua's face was calm, and no matter how Chen Xingjian observed it, his expression did not change.
"It's a pity, even if you doubt me, you can only believe me now." Chen Xingjian suddenly raised the corners of his lips, "Qiao Hua, you have no choice now."
"There are only two roads before you now. Either agree to my request and come back to Real World with me, or my mission fails and I drag you into the water. It's your choice."
Qiao Hua gritted her teeth, but Chen Xingjian saw through her intention.
Could it be that she really had no choice but to leave with Chen Xingjian?
I don't know why, Qiao Hua actually felt unwilling in her heart. She hadn't enjoyed Gu Wenze's warmth after she had corrected her evil ways for a few days, and she hadn't seen Gu Jinyang grow up, so she was about to leave.
And she will never see the two of them again, not even in the same world.
But if she doesn't choose, she still won't be able to survive, and she won't be able to see Gu Wenze and Gu Jinyang either.
Thinking of this, Qiao Hua bit his lips tightly and unconsciously made a tooth mark.
"Qiao Hua, you don't have time." Chen Xingjian reminded, "Choose one of the two."
Qiao Hua subconsciously glanced at the door, but there was no movement there. Gu Wenze has not appeared until now.
Listening to the countdown of Chen Xingjian three two one in his ears, Qiao Hua took a deep breath and finally made a difficult decision.
Just when she was about to say those four words, there was a sudden noise at the door, as if someone kicked the door from outside.
The next second, the door was kicked open from the outside, and the tall figure of Gu Wenze appeared at the door.
Qiao Hua's heart trembled suddenly.
Gu Wenze is really here!
The face of Chen Xingjian beside him changed, obviously he didn't expect Gu Wenze to actually come to him. After he recovered, he immediately opened the drawer of the cabinet next to him, took out a pistol from it, and pointed it at Qiao Hua's head.
"Don't come over."
Qiao Hua was shocked.
Chen Xingjian actually hides something like this.
Gu Wenze stopped suddenly, panting and looking at the gun in Chen Xingjian's hand pointing at Qiao Hua's head, not daring to take another step forward.
Chen Xingjian turned to look at Qiao Hua, "Hurry up, say those words."
Qiao Hua stared at Gu Wenze's face, breathing slightly tremblingly.
The pistol on his head tightened suddenly, and Chen Xingjian's usually calm voice was a little more anxious, urging. "Hurry up!"
Gu Wenze vaguely realized something. He looked at Qiao Hua, his eyes a little more helpless and nervous.
"Qiao Hua, do you really want me to shoot you?" Chen Xingjian said through gritted teeth with his finger on the trigger.
Qiao Hua closed his eyes, "Okay, I'll say it."
She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Xingjian, and under his expectant eyes, she said word by word, "I don't want to."
Chen Xingjian was stunned, and while he was stunned, Qiao Hua bit his arm fiercely, pushed him away while he was in pain, and ran towards Gu Wenze.
"Qiao Hua!"
A flash of panic suddenly flashed across the face of Gu Wenze in front of her. Before Qiao Hua could react, a tall shadow rushed over and hugged her, and then sharp gunshots rang in her ears.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
The expected pain did not occur. Qiao Hua carefully opened his eyes and found himself being held in Gu Wenze's arms.
At that moment she seemed to realize something, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she slowly raised her hand to touch Gu Wenze's back.
The next second, she touched blood on her hand.
