165: Chapter 164 She is Just a Pawn 165: Chapter 164 She is Just a Pawn She wasn’t nervous about whether the man behind her would kill her, but about Jin Zijin’s attitude!
His attitude would determine whether the view below the cliff was a breathtaking panorama or a landscape of horror strewn with corpses!
Since she had been with him, she felt as though she had involuntarily beco soone else’s chess piece, her utility and disposal not hers to control.
Perhaps she belonged to him, or perhaps to soone else.
Whose it was didn’t matter, as long as it wasn’t Jin Zijin’s.
Gu Youyou clenched her fist as she looked at Jin Zijin, the hope in her eyes so clear to him that for a mont, the softer part of his heart controlled his will, wanting to prioritize her.
But could he really rescue her at all costs?
He didn’t have much ti left.
He was suddenly startled, then quickly allowed that rcy to recede, his heart as hard as iron.
A mont later, he looked at the man and said with an unnerving calm, “I was looking for you.
Now that I’ve found you, what need do I have for her?”
“Oh?
It seems you are no ordinary hunter!” said the man with an interested sneer.
“I’m certainly a hunter, but my prey is sowhat special!”
Listening to their casual conversation, waves of shock surged in Gu Youyou’s heart, like a lonely boat suddenly lifted and then dropped by towering waves.
That intense power thrumd in her chest, unable to settle for a long ti.
What need did they have for her?
Gu Youyou repeated the phrase in her mind and felt her own uselessness.
The truth was so obvious—what was there to ponder?
Then suddenly, as if a bomb had gone off in her head, her body felt like it had plunged into an abyssal ice cave, an asphyxiating coldness burst from deep within her soul, quickly invading her entire body.
Her face ashen, she tried to speak to Jin Zijin but couldn’t utter a single word.
It was possible that he was the person behind it all, he had poisoned her from the start with a specific purpose—to draw out the people in the mountains.
The cold poison that had long been suppressed within her body broke out like a flood, rushing through every one of her ridians.
The man behind Gu Youyou frowned in surprise, realizing up close what was happening to her.
He seed to suddenly realize sothing, looking at Gu Youyou with even greater astonishnt.
The man’s eyes darkened as he caught Gu Youyou’s collapsing body in his arms; her body colder than his, he instantly understood the situation.
Looking at Jin Zijin across from him, he felt a sudden urge to burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…”
Finally, he couldn’t contain himself and laughed out loud.
He didn’t know, this person must not know.
What a brilliant deception!
He couldn’t help but admire it!
After a few laughs, he suddenly tore a small sachet off of Gu Youyou, looking at it with an even deeper smile, shaking his head as if sighing sorrowfully, and muttered lowly, “You are just a chess piece too!
How pitiful!!
We’re all the sa!”
With that, he pushed Gu Youyou away and scolded her quietly, “Get lost to the side, you’re just a useless piece!”
Still in shock, Gu Youyou was tossed aside like trash, her forehead striking a rock on the ground, imdiately breaking the skin and bleeding down her cheek, a startling sight.
What was the pain of the body compared to the despair of the heart?
Gu Youyou felt nothing.
A sachet?
Gu Youyou looked in surprise at the sachet that had also been cast aside, then at Jin Zijin, her eyes suddenly widening.
She knew it, how could Jin Zijin suddenly give her a sachet?
So it turned out that with that sachet…
she could beco bait with a line attached, and with that line, he could reel in the big fish.
