"One month... is that too short? Can it be done?"
"Just wait for my news."
After Jingsheng left, Gu Xichen sounded sowhat uneasy, "Why do I feel she wasn’t sincere? These assassins have no heart to begin with. Once we let her go this ti, we might not be able to catch her again."
"What do you think the talisman water I had her drink is for? It’s a Soul-binding Talisman. If she turns against us as soon as she gets back, we’ll be able to claim her soul from here. So, we’ll reciprocate her sincerity in kind. Besides, no one wants to live a life of constant exploitation and oppression. She longs for the life of an ordinary person. If she’s smart enough, she will weigh the pros and cons to make the best choice. I believe in this. After all, she couldn’t be known as the top assassin of T Country if she wasn’t clever. It’s just a pity she tried to kill you twice and failed, and ended up being caught by you. You must have had your master’s spirit watching over you from the heavens."
Hearing her say this, Gu Xichen asked again, "Then do you have a way to release her from control? And within a month, I feel like this is going to be very tricky."
"I have my own thods. You don’t need to worry about this; you just need to be ever-vigilant against those who want to kill you. These next few days, there will likely be a continuous stream of people causing you trouble." Gu Lili sighed, "I’ll put a stop to your stepmother’s sches so she can’t make a move against you. For the rest, you’ll have to manage on your own."
Gu Xichen nodded, "Okay."

Gu Lili returned ho, having dashed over early in the morning without even having breakfast.
After feasting once she got ho, she then drove to Long Group.
When she arrived at the office, Long Yubei was not inside.
"Young Madam, President Long is in a eting; please wait inside."
"Alright, bring a cup of coffee."
"Sure thing, just a mont."
She casually took a seat on the sofa, sipping coffee and reading a book.
Ti slipped by unnoticed, and it was nearly half an hour before Long Yubei returned.
He saw her as he walked in, closing the door behind him, "How did Gu Xichen deal with that woman?"
"I let her go."
Long Yubei furrowed his brows, "But isn’t she an assassin? Why did you let her go?"
"Sit down, let explain slowly."
Long Yubei sat down beside her. Gu Lili put her book aside and told him everything in detail.
"You’ve been too rash," Long Yubei disagreed, "It would have been better to just kill her. There are too many assassins; the ones caught midway are very prone to betrayal. It would be better to train our own from the start. I don’t think she will be loyal to you."
"I think she will. Won understand won best. Want to bet?"
"A di it is."
Gu Lili spoke leisurely, "A person who can be followed wholeheartedly and faithfully must have treated their follower just as well. It’s the human heart that is truly moving, not those cold coercive commands. Being able to bind a person’s body is no feat; convincing soone to willingly follow you is the true skill."
"So, what’s your plan?" Long Yubei realised he had underestimated her, "The organization capable of cultivating T Country’s top assassin is no ordinary one."
"I have a plan that can kill two birds with one stone, which can not only make her work for but also help you eradicate the wild ambitions of the Anton Family."
"What is it? Tell quickly."
Gu Lili hugged him and whispered her thoughts into his ear.
