Hearing Song Ge mocking him again, Xu Yan wished he could kill her right then. However, he was also quite curious about what Song Ge meant by a "not stupid" way.
Suddenly, the previous incident flashed through his mind. It was because he had believed Song Ge's words that she had managed to escape. This time, he couldn't make the same mistake again!
Xu Yan firmly made up his mind. "Stop making excuses. I won't give you another chance this time."
He secretly felt smug about his own shrewdness.
This time, the winner would surely be himself!
Xu Yan turned around and refused to listen to anything Song Ge had to say. He sat alone in the corner. He definitely wouldn't let her die so easily!
Song Ge felt the excruciating pain from the wounds on her body. She moved her hand slightly, trying to untie the ropes, but they were tied so tightly that she couldn't loosen them at all.
"Don't waste your energy," a voice sounded, with a bit of an echo.
For a moment, Song Ge wondered if Xu Yan had four eyes. After a great deal of effort, she was completely out of strength. She just stared at the sky outside with wide - open eyes.
The moon was very round tonight, which made Song Ge feel sad.
Zhai Cheng was also looking at the sky. As time ticked by, there was still no news of Song Ge. His heart could no longer stay calm.
The assistant timidly opened the door of the office.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhai Cheng quickly turned around, his eyes full of hope. "How's it going?"
It was the first time the assistant had seen his boss care so much about a woman. He suddenly felt a bit reluctant to tell him the result, but he had to. "There's still no news."
Zhai Cheng's eyes gradually dimmed, and disappointment was written all over his face.
Zhai Cheng waved his hand. "I see. You can go." He turned around and continued looking out. His eyes were empty, and his back was desolate.
The assistant looked at the boss's back, hesitating to speak. Finally, he mustered up the courage. "Boss, you'd better go back and rest earlier. Maybe there will be news tomorrow."
"Just go."
The assistant sighed and quietly backed out, closing the door.
The door opened again. Zhai Cheng subconsciously thought it was the assistant and said impatiently, "Don't bother me."
Ji Qingyun was a bit stunned. Realizing that Zhai Cheng must have mistaken her for someone else, she coughed. "Do you have any news about Song Ge?"
Hearing the voice, Zhai Cheng then turned around. He honestly told her, "Not yet."
Hearing this, Ji Qingyun got angry out of the blue. "I thought I could trust you, but I didn't expect..." The result was still the same.
"Forget it. I'll find a way to look for Song Ge." After saying that, Ji Qingyun quickly turned around and left the room.
Zhai Cheng was the only one left in the huge room. From time to time, the sound of car horns from outside mixed with the hustle and bustle.
Zhai Cheng rubbed his temples. Since Song Ge's accident, he hadn't had a real rest. His heart had been hanging all the time.
Zhai Cheng didn't know how long he had been standing there. The sky in front of him changed from night to day, and the sun gradually rose.
He moved his numb feet and walked towards the chair with some difficulty.
He laughed at himself. When had he ever been so embarrassed?
The early - morning sunlight shone into the room through the only window in the house, bringing a glimmer of hope.
"Ah." Song Ge was awakened by a splash of water.
She was soaking wet, dripping water. Some of the wounds that had started to heal after a night now ached faintly.
Song Ge glared at Xu Yan without saying a word.
Xu Yan threw away the bucket in his hand and sneered, "You really have a big heart. You can still fall asleep in this situation."
Song Ge was wide awake. Her eyes were cold at first and then became bright. "Do you know why?" she said mysteriously.
She successfully piqued Xu Yan's interest. He subconsciously asked, "Why?"
After asking, Xu Yan felt a bit regretful. According to Song Ge's temper, she definitely wouldn't say anything nice!
Sure enough...
"Because you're stupid." After saying that, Song Ge laughed heartily without any restraint. Tears rolled down her face as if it was really a very funny thing.
Xu Yan angrily kicked over the table beside him, making a loud noise in the huge room.
His eyes turned blood - red. He secretly clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress his anger. He still needed her alive.
"Song Ge, I think you're tired of living."
Since Xu Yan was very close to Song Ge, she quickly lifted her foot and kicked Xu Yan hard.
Xu Yan knelt on the ground because of the pain.
He endured the pain and stood up, his face looking ugly. "Song Ge, you're really asking for death!"
As he spoke, he took out a knife from his waist and put it on Song Ge's neck. He took a deep breath. "I'll give you a chance. If you admit that I'm better than Zhai Cheng, I can let you live a little longer."
Song Ge seemed to have heard a big joke and burst out laughing again. The movement pulled at her wounds, so she controlled herself a bit. "You're not only stupid but also naive."
Xu Yan tightened his grip on the knife. The knife gradually cut into her neck, and blood seeped out. "You don't appreciate my kindness and will suffer the consequences."
"Haha, great. It's exactly the same as my plan." Despite this, Song Ge still looked calm and didn't seem to care about the knife on her neck at all.
Hearing this, Xu Yan loosened his grip on the knife a bit and stared at Song Ge in shock.
What was this woman up to again?!
The woman showed no fear. She looked up, full of confidence. "I've already planned everything. I've just been waiting for this step. As long as you kill me, everything will fall into place, and my plan will succeed."
"What's your plan?" Xu Yan was very curious. He had to admit that Song Ge was really a smart woman who could easily capture people's hearts.
Song Ge raised her eyebrows and then smiled. "Want to know?"
Xu Yan nodded for once, eager to know what Song Ge was up to.
"I won't tell you." Song Ge smiled faintly, looking very mysterious.
This made Xu Yan even more curious.
"If you tell me, I'll spare your life. It's a very good deal."
Song Ge didn't say a word. She moved closer to the knife in Xu Yan's hand. The wound on her neck became bigger. "Do it."
The more Song Ge acted like this, the more Xu Yan wanted to know what she was plotting. He put the knife away. "Wanting to die? It's not that easy."
Without saying a word, Song Ge directly lunged forward, trying to ram herself onto the knife, but since she was tied up, she failed.
Xu Yan put the knife away and squatted in front of Song Ge. He forcefully grabbed her chin. Song Ge struggled hard but to no avail. She had to close her eyes to avoid looking directly at Xu Yan.
This action undoubtedly enraged Xu Yan. This woman was always testing his patience. "Don't be in a hurry. You'll die sooner or later! I'd like to see how long you can still be so smug."
He threw Song Ge's chin away and stood up. Suddenly, as if remembering something, Xu Yan kicked Song Ge hard and only then felt relieved.
