The scar-faced man and the tall, thin man both showed a chilling expression simultaneously.
A murderous intent surged!
Gu Qin’er sensed that murderous aura and knew she had guessed right.
She spoke hurriedly, “I can help you! As long as you let me go.”
The scar-faced man sneered, his fierce eyes filled with mockery. “Heh, you, a little girl, what help can you provide?”
Gu Qin’er explained, “I’m Gu Qingluan’s sister.”
“Hah, a sister? You little brat, are you thinking of tattling on us?” The scar-faced man’s eyes gleamed with malice.
The tall, thin man also stared at her with a dark look.
One resembled a wicked wolf, while the other appeared like a venomous snake. Gu Qin’er’s hair stood on end under their gaze.
She hurriedly clarified, “No way! Although I’m Gu Qingluan’s sister, we have different mothers. I’m an illegitimate child. In reality, our relationship isn’t good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here in such a disheveled state. It’s because Gu Qingluan allows others to bully me.”
As she spoke, her eyes slowly reddened, and her tone carried a hint of deep-seated resentment.
The scar-faced man didn’t confirm or deny her words and asked leisurely, “How do you plan to help us? Even if your relationship with her isn’t good, you can’t move freely in this mansion, right?”
“Even though we aren’t on good terms, I’m still a Lady of the Gu family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have received the wedding invitation to this banquet. Gu Qingluan cares deeply about her two sons. You can’t get close to them, but I can. I can help you lure them out, making your job much easier. My conditions are simple: once the job is done, you let me go, and we’ll all pretend we never met, with no further involvement.”
The scar-faced man rubbed his stubbled chin and fell into thought.
He nudged the tall, thin man with his elbow, “What do you think?”
Earlier, the two of them had split up and investigated the mansion.
Undoubtedly, the mansion was loosely guarded from the outside but tightly secured within. Carrying a living person out wouldn’t be easy.
Moreover, their target was accompanied by someone mysterious and unpredictable, making snatching someone from them a difficult task.
However, if they had an insider, it would be much smoother.
The tall, thin man raised his hand, pinching a pitch-black pill between his fingertips, and said to Gu Qin’er, “If you eat this poison pill, we’ll trust you.”
Gu Qin’er couldn’t help but take a step back, her face pale. “What kind of poison is this? What if I eat it, and you break your promise? I won’t take it!”
“Hmph, you have no right to negotiate terms now. If you eat it, you have a chance to live. If you don’t, we’ll kill you first!” The scar-faced man said fiercely.
Gu Qin’er was both shocked and angry.
“How dare you!”
“Do you think that knowing our secret means we’ll easily let you go?” The scar-faced man grinned, revealing yellowed teeth, his smile utterly wicked.
Gu Qin’er’s heart tightened.
If she had known this, she wouldn’t have exposed them so easily.
At this moment, she only had two choices in front of her.
Either she conspired with the tiger or she would be devoured by it.
She didn’t want to die!
Why should she die?
She was no worse than anyone else!
Gu Lingxue had been pampered by her parents since she was a child, and the best resources of the family were all directed toward her.
Gu Qingluan was originally a useless waste, but she had a fortunate turn of events that propelled her to greatness.
They weren’t inherently better than her; they were just lucky.
As long as she was given a chance, she could also achieve greatness and become someone who commanded the attention of many!
Gu Qin’er didn’t hesitate for too long. She took the poison pill, and before swallowing it, she fixed her icy gaze on the two men, saying, “Remember what you’ve said. If you dare to go back on your word, even if I die, I won’t let you off!”
The two men didn’t seem to take her words to heart.
Gu Qin’er didn’t care if they paid attention or not. After making her threat, she tossed the poison pill into her mouth and swallowed it.
After ingesting it, she didn’t feel anything unusual.
The scar-faced man seemed to know what was on her mind and said, “If you don’t take the antidote within half an hour, you’ll die from the poison. From now on, you’ll obediently follow our instructions. Once everything is done, we’ll give you the antidote.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qin’er’s expression changed slightly. “Only half an hour?”
The scar-faced man grinned without much warmth, “If we were to give you too much time, you might come up with schemes. I don’t want things to go south.” Gu Qin’er clenched her fists, trying to calm her emotions.. “What do you plan to do with Gu Qingluan’s sons?”
