Chapter 275 - 271: Underestimated the Weight of Mo Shiting in Her Heart—1
Gu Li’s face was tense, and her voice turned colder: “Who are you? Please let my cousin go.”
“Bring Mo Shiting here, and we guarantee that we will let Murong Qian go!”
The other side straightforwardly expressed their intentions
Such a despicable means of making Brother Ting submit, resorting to kidnapping Sister Qian.
Gu Li quickly guessed who they may be.
“Are you guys from the Black Blood League?”
“Exactly!”
Put in plain terms, they admitted it.
Before Gu Li could respond, they started ordering her: “At eleven o’clock tonight, Bring Mo Shiting to Fish Harbour Pier Warehouse Number Two. Remember, only you and Mo Shiting can come. No police and no leaking information, or we’ll ensure Murong Qian has nowhere to bury her!”
After speaking, they hung up.
“Hello ”
Gu Li still wanted to say something, but all she heard from the other end was the busy tone.
Damn it!
Gu Li couldn’t help but curse.
After spending some ten minutes outside cooling off, Gu Li finally returned to the room.
By this time, Mo Shiting had already washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen.
Seeing her furrowed brows, as if troubled by something, Mo Shiting walked over, gently touched her forehead, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Gu Li quickly forced a smile, but she wasn’t aware that her little mood shift didn’t escape Mo Shiting’s keen eyes.
Knowing that she is avoiding the issue, Mo Shiting didn’t ask further. He put his arm around her shoulder and moved with her towards the sofa area.
Gu Li was absent-minded, only thinking about the threats from the Black Blood League.
She absolutely could not bring Brother Ting with her.
After all, those people clearly wanted Brother Ting’s life, and she couldn’t watch him walk into a death trap
But what should she do?
Sister Qian is equally important to her.
Besides, it was her fault that Sister Qian became a target of the Black Blood League. She cannot abandon Sister Qian, no matter what.
She must find a way to save Sister Qian.
Gu Li pressed her lips together, her expression growing more serious.
Mo Shiting focused on her solemn face, a trace of concern passing in his deep eyes: “Did your father call you?”
She was fine just a minute ago. Only a short ten minutes passed, and she seems deeply troubled. Something must have happened.
Mo Shiting first thought of the troubles from Gu Yuan.
Fearing that he would discover her real worries, she saw his misunderstanding about her father and decided to play along with it, slowly nodding: “Yeah, my father berated me a few times for running away the last time. But let’s not talk about him. Brother Ting, do you want water? I’ll pour it for you.”
Having said that, Gu Li turned and went to the kitchen.
Mo Shiting intended to say it’s not necessary but before he could stop her, she’d already walked away.
Entering the kitchen, Gu Li took a breath.
She picked up two beautiful crystal glasses and filled them two thirds with warm water.
Instead of immediately taking the water out, she quietly took out a small packet of medicinal powder from a medicine box and put it in the glass.
The colorless and tasteless powder instantly dissolved in the water, leaving no visible difference.
Gu Li stared at the water cup with a complicated expression for a long time before finally picking up the glass and shaking it a few times, then she went back to the living room.
Mo Shiting was sitting elegantly on the sofa, looking stunningly handsome.
Gu Li gazed at him infatuated, unknowingly developing a sense of reluctance.
She really wanted to see Brother Ting’s handsome face for the rest of her life…
She wondered if she was lucky enough to do so!
Thinking of this, she quickly lowered her eyes, hiding the hesitance in her eyes.
“Brother Ting, drink some water.”
The girl swiftly adjusted her mood and cheerfully called him.
Mo Shiting looked up from his phone, unexpectedly meeting her bright smile. For a moment, he was stunned.
Despite not being thirsty, when she cheerfully handed him a glass of warm water, he didn’t hesitate to take it and gulped down more than half of it.
Seeing this, Gu Li felt relieved.
She was worried he wouldn’t drink it.
But only finishing the entire glass would have the desired effect.
With this thought, Gu Li pursed her lips, her clear eyes glancing around before unexpectedly suggesting: “Brother Ting, shall we toast with water?”
“Why would we toast?”
“Because I’m happy.”
Gu Li made up an explanation, in a tone somewhere between spoiled and commanding. “Are you going to toast or not?”
“Okay, let’s!”
He couldn’t help but smile, picking up his glass from the side.
Gu Li flashed a beautiful flower-like smile.
The two raised their glasses, and the girl sincerely said, “Here’s to our smooth progress and invincibility! Cheers!”
