Chapter 208 Gu Yanchuan's Assistant
Chapter 208 Gu Yanchuan's Assistant
However, it was only a short moment, and the panic disappeared without a trace at an extremely fast speed, just like the sea water at high tide.
In the blink of an eye, its place was replaced by a creepy and sinister look.
Shu Wanwan didn't flinch. She stared at him fiercely, asking questions non-stop, "Who are you working for? Was it Gu Yanchuan's father who sent you here? Or was it actually his brother with ulterior motives?"
Under Shu Wanwan's aggressive and relentless questioning, the assistant's reaction seemed unusually silent.
His hands, which were originally clenched into fists, had turned white at the knuckles due to excessive force, and even the blue veins hidden under the skin were bulging and clearly visible.
These hands seem to be under tremendous pressure and may break at any time due to being overwhelmed.
At this moment, the assistant clenched his teeth tightly, with his facial muscles tensed to the extreme, looking like a volcano about to erupt.
He seemed to want to swallow all the anger and fear in his body and not give them any chance to show out.
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute, and the whole room fell into an almost frozen atmosphere.
Finally, after a long and painful inner struggle, the assistant seemed to have made some difficult decision. He turned around slowly but firmly and faced Shu Wanwan's back.
But at this moment, without any warning, something unexpected happened.
At some point, a sharp knife flashing with a cold light and intimidating in front of people appeared in the assistant's hand that was supposed to be empty!
The sharp knife reflected bursts of coldness under the light, as if it could easily cut anyone's throat with just a slight swing.
The blade flashed with a chilling cold light, like the cold light from the Nine Nether Hell. Just one glance at it would make people feel a deep fear in their hearts and dare not get close to it.
The assistant was seen tightly gripping the extremely sharp knife, with veins bulging on the back of his hand, revealing his extremely nervous yet determined emotions.
His voice was as low as thunder in the dark night, but the determination contained in it was revealed without reservation, as if he had made up his mind and would never look back.
At this moment, his face was as gloomy as water, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, emitting bursts of chill.
His eyes, which should have been clear and bright, were now filled with hostility and murderous intent. He stared coldly at Shu Wanwan in front of him and spoke slowly in a bone-chilling tone.
"Ms. Shu, at this point, you can only blame yourself for knowing too much. Today, I have no choice but to send you down the road of no return to the underworld."
However, at this critical moment, Shu Wanwan's face remained calm beyond ordinary people's imagination, and she didn't even turn her head.
She raised her head slightly, her eyes as clear as autumn water without any fear, staring straight at the reflection in the window. The reflection in the window was the person who wanted to take her life.
She opened her lips slightly and responded calmly, "Do you really think that after killing me, no one will know what you have done?"
Hearing this, the assistant was stunned for a moment, and then a contemptuous and ferocious sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The laughter suddenly sounded in the dead silence, like the cry of a night owl, it seemed particularly eerie and terrifying, making people's hair stand on end.
"Hahahahaha..." He laughed wildly, "As long as you die, no one in this world will be able to see through the shocking secret hidden behind this! So, prepare to die!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised the sharp knife in his hand without hesitation and stabbed towards Shu Wanwan with lightning speed.
In an instant, a cold light flashed through the air like lightning, heading straight for Shu Wanwan.
However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened - Shu Wanwan gently waved her arm. The movement seemed extremely gentle, but in fact it contained a mystery.
The assistant suddenly felt a piercing pain in his wrist, as if he was hit by a powerful force.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp knife in his hand seemed to have lost control and fell to the ground with a clang, making a crisp and loud sound.
The assistant widened his eyes in horror and looked at Shu Wanwan's back. He could never have imagined that she had such ability.
Shu Wanwan stood up from the sofa, turned slightly, and walked slowly towards this side.
Every step seems to carry an invisible pressure, which makes people's heart beat faster.
Finally, she walked to a place not far from her target and slowly squatted down.
She stretched out her slender fingers lightly and picked up the sharp knife that fell to the ground with accurate precision.
Shu Wanwan took the sharp knife in her hand and began to play with the blade carelessly.
The extremely sharp blade flashed a chilling light between her fair and delicate fingers.
"I told you, even if you kill me it won't help. Besides, with your ability, you can't possibly kill me."
Shu Wanwan's voice was as cold as the wind in December, mercilessly blowing on the assistant's already terrified heart.
At this moment, the assistant's face had turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.
He widened his eyes and stared at the sharp knife in Shu Wanwan's hand, his body shaking violently uncontrollably.
“Who…who are you? My hand…what’s wrong with my hand…? What…what are you going to do…”
the assistant stammered, his voice a little hoarse from extreme fear.
Hearing this, Shu Wanwan stood up suddenly.
Her figure was as straight as a pine tree, her eyes were as sharp as lightning, and she exuded a powerful and cold aura.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that after today, all the conspiracies will be exposed to the public."
Shu Wanwan took two steps towards the assistant and reached the center of the room.
"You've been messing with this formation all along?" Shu Wanwan widened her eyes, staring intently at the assistant in front of her, looking him up and down, muttering softly.
But he was secretly thinking in his heart: Could this ordinary and unremarkable person really have the ability to control such a complicated formation?
The assistant's face was filled with fear and despair, and his body collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
He stammered, "Miss Shu, I... I don't know what formation you're talking about... I'm just a small assistant, how could I know anything about these things! None of this was my original intention. I was forced to do this!"
At this moment, the assistant no longer had the stubborn look he usually had. He looked like a frightened rabbit.
He was a man of normal build, but now, facing Shu Wanwan's powerful aura and questioning, he was so scared that he almost cried out loud.
Seeing this, Shu Wanwan frowned slightly.
Her bright and sharp eyes stared straight at the assistant who was slumped on the ground, as if she could see through the darkest corners of the other person's heart.
Then, in a tone that left no room for doubt, she said coldly, "Okay, stop pretending! Tell the truth. What's going on?"
The assistant raised his head, his eyes full of hesitation, and said with trembling lips, "It's...Mr. Gu, he doesn't want...Director Gu to inherit the family business."
At this moment, a feeling of sadness surged into Shu Wanwan's heart like a tide.
That’s right, it was his father who set up this formation to harm Gu Yanchuan.
All along, with her ability to calculate, she could almost make up her mind, but when it came to Gu Yanchuan's father, she was powerless. No matter how hard she tried, she could not figure out his cause and effect.
Just as Shu Wanwan was immersed in helplessness, suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from far away.
The sound broke the silent night sky and the tense atmosphere in the house.
Shu Wanwan had already realized that she might bump into Gu Yanchuan's assistant on her way to Gu Yanchuan's house.
So she sent a message to Ye Linfeng in advance and reported the case to the police.
