Chapter 294 - The plan (1/2)
Gu Zhi laughed, ” have I told you about hell? I should, the Devil is a good friend of mine, gave me time and a few other things guaranteed to make my return to earth a huge success”
Maybe you should have stayed there” Yan Mei replied casually
”Maybe I should kill your dear ex-husband” Gu Zhi suggested, irked that he was not getting his d.e.s.i.r.ed reaction.
Before those words would have undone her, she would have been on her knees at that threat crying and begging and willing to do anything but not anymore, time and healing had forged her into something new, something different.
She had been here before but she was different now, she was nothing like that creature that had waited to die, she was a woman who wore her scars like armor and dared anyone to try her.
”I would say try it, but you can't”
That was when Gu Zhi registered that he had not heard the metal on concrete screeches for a while, he looked at the chair and saw that Wang Lu was no longer in it, but it also showed him that they were surrounded.
A small crowd of people in black tactical gear wearing guns with a casual ease that denoted that they weren't strangers to violence dotted the interior of the warehouse in a loose circle. He wondered how he had missed all that.
Lei Zhao moved away from the men in black and moved to stand beside his wife. She didn't take his eyes off Gu Zhi but their hands found each other in an action that spoke of familiar ease and mutual emotions.
Yan Mei finally allowed herself to relax since she had walked into the warehouse. Even though she had gone over the plan many times, she had always been worried that something would go wrong. Even knowing that Lei Zhao were working to free Wang Lu and get rid of Gu Zhi's men, the anxiety in her continued to racket upwards.
But having him close to her no, skin to skin, safe as can be drained all of her worries. Her hands tightened in his grasp as she enjoyed his closeness, it was a bonus that their simple gesture drove Gu Zhi insane, now she was ready to do what she had to do.
”You think I didn't know it was you? You think I had no idea that it was you all along? You're not the scariest thing in the world these days, you're nothing. A mild inconvenience at most.” She continued, drawing his attention back to her.
”Well, this mild inconvenience managed to kidnap your dear powerful ex-husband.” Gu Zhi boasted, still trying to get a reaction from her.
Yan Mei scoffed ”Yes, I bet he just waited around and displayed himself loud enough to catch your attention”
”You bitch!”
