307 You know I won't lie
Lu ngjie thought that Cian would force himself on her after she was captured but surprisingly, as days passed, he had never touched her. "I'm going to make you fall hard for ." He would always say these words to her whenever he ca to her room just to check on her.
Cecilia was right. As long as she didn't try to anger Cian, he would not try to hurt her. All she had to do was to pretend. Whenever he would caress her cheek or hold her hand, she had to endure slapping his hand away. During her stay, thanks to Cecilia's help, Lu ngjie was able to learn that Cian was actually a wanted serial killer in the States. He was labeled as the 'Red Petal Killer'. His targets were black-haired won. After kidnapping them, he would lock them in a room and take care of them for two weeks. At the end of the two-week duration, it was then he would kill them and throw their bodies in an alley, covering their bodies with red petals. At the sa ti, he would leave the sa note on their body: 'you're not her.'
A week has passed by and that ant, she only had one week left to live. Before Cian could kill her, she had to find a way to escape.
Cian didn't say anything when she covered the CCTV in the room, obstructing it with a cloth. Aside from that, she had blocked the hidden caras and made it all look like an accident.
Lu ngjie shot her head towards the door upon hearing the creak. She lowered the book Cecilia gave her and closed it. "What are you doing here, Cian?"
Whenever Cian would visit her, she had soon noticed that it was only during certain hours of the day. This ti was different. He was an hour early.
Cian tapped the screen of his phone, putting the call on speaker and it was also during that ti that Yong Liwei's raspy voice was heard. "ngjie?"
In an instant, Lu ngjie placed the book aside and hurriedly rushed towards the phone Cian was holding. "Liwei!" Before she could even snatch up the phone, the man stretched his arm up, away from her reach.
"ngjie? Are you alright? Did that bastard hurt you? Did he---"
"Now, now. I would never hurt her. Are you satisfied now, Yong Liwei?" Cian interrupted with a smirk. Lu ngjie stopped reaching out for the phone and instead, she directed her glare at the man in front of her. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Just what was he planning right now?
Despite all the questions in her mind, Lu ngjie tried her best to hold back. She was not going to fall for Cian's sches.
"If you do what I want, she'll live," Cian promised before he ended the call. After he did, his eyes landed on the woman in front of him. "Dear, don't look at that way."
As Cian was about to reach out for her face, this ti, Lu ngjie was not able to control herself anymore. She slapped his hand away. "You'll never get what you want from ."
Narrowing his eyes, Cian reached out once again but instead of touching her cheek, he aid for her neck. He wrapped his fingers around her neck, his hold slowly tightening. "If I can't have you, no one will."
Lu ngjie held his arm as she tried to struggle free. "C-Cian!"
Cecilia specifically warned her not to infuriate her brother because of his quick temper. "L-Let go!" She continued to struggle free. She was not going to apologize for the words she had said earlier.
Since Cian was not fully restraining her, by instinct, Lu ngjie raised her leg in an instant and kneed him at his crotch.
"Argh!" He released her neck in an instant as he crouched low.
Using the opportunity, Lu ngjie ran to the bathroom and locked herself inside.
"LU NGJIE!!!" Cian shouted angrily.
She didn't care if she had to lock herself in the bathroom, she was not going to co out, not unless he left!
Cian had a hard ti walking towards the bathroom. It took a while before he finally reached the door. He began banging his fist like crazy against the door. "Let in damn it!"
"No! Never!" She shouted back. In the mirror, she saw the mark around her neck. He really was going to kill her.
"What's happening?" Cecilia's voice was heard.
Hearing her, Lu ngjie quickly begged, "Please take your psycho brother out of my room! He's going to kill !"
"I'm not going to kill you!" Cian exclaid in his rage. He took a deep breath in, trying to calm himself. He knocked. "Lu ngjie, co out. I want to talk with you."
"I'm not stupid. I will not co out until you leave this room!"
Cecilia was confused at what was happening but seeing how worked up her brother was, she thought that Lu ngjie must have said sothing to rile him up.
"Brother, please calm down."
"I'm calm!" He yelled.
Cecilia instinctively shrunk back. Just like Lu ngjie, she was also afraid of him, especially when she knew what he could do.
Noticing how his sister reacted, he breathed in deeply and exhaled. He thought that because of his anger, he was scaring both won so he needed to calm down.
"I'll talk with you later." He turned away and headed out of the room. He couldn't walk straight tho and he continued to sway as he left.
Cecilia went and closed the door behind, locking it in the process before she approached the bathroom door. "Everything's fine now, ngjie. He left."
"Are you sure?" Lu ngjie was hesitant to believe her. Even her voice quivered when she asked.
"Yes. You know I won't lie."
A mont went by before Lu ngjie finally opened the door. Seeing that Cian was gone, she breathed in a sigh of relief.
