Chapter 416: Chapter 416

"That’s right... I’m going to kill you..."

At that moment, Mo Ruoqing seized the precious opportunity, throwing all the blame onto Gu Tong...

Only by dragging her down can I protect my own life...

"When Ruqing was checking the rooms, she saw Xue Tong rushing towards the gentleman’s room... Ruqing felt something was wrong and shouted to stop her... But she didn’t listen and even tangled with the bodyguards... Ruqing was afraid that the gentleman might be in danger, so she drew her weapon, which startled Young Master Lin and woke the gentleman..." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

"Ruqing knows she’s gravely sinful... willing to accept punishment... but sir... the assassin is lurking right by your side, posing a danger to your life... you’re so noble... how can any accident occur? Even if Ruqing sacrifices her life, she must protect your safety..."

Every word of Mo Ruoqing’s speech was well-prepared.

Perhaps, this was her backup plan!

This was also her reason for recklessly drawing her weapon!

If Gu Tong were dead, there would be no evidence against Mo Ruoqing!

At that point, wouldn’t it all go according to her narrative?

But now, clearly there was a mistake in the plan, and it wasn’t complete!

With Gu Tong safe and sound, Mo Ruoqing’s statements were just a one-sided argument.

Lin Shuai’s eyes glowed, his originally calm pupils rippling with intrigue.

Currently, Xinyuan is a place full of crises and cannot withstand any doubt.

Even if he wants to protect Gu Tong, he finds it difficult.

The path ahead requires her to defend herself!

After this thought, he tightened his grip on Gu Tong’s shoulder, more as a reminder ---

In fact, Gong Chenli hadn’t missed a single thing in the hall, yet he didn’t stop it but quietly observed, as if watching a show!

His gaze was as sharp as a dagger, and everyone’s eyes fell on Gu Tong, hoping she would provide an answer.

Gu Tong stood still, not speaking, but she knew in her heart that her battle had begun!

"Miss Ruqing is not wrong, I deserve to be condemned, wanting to murder the gentleman, without a weapon in hand, so I chose this time to break into the gentleman’s room!"

The crisp voice fell upon the ground, agitating everyone’s nerves, leaving them dumbfounded, mouths agape, large enough to fit an egg...

She, she actually admitted it...

Mo Ruoqing, once pathetically kneeling on the ground, flashed a trace of smugness at the corner of her mouth. Though she didn’t understand Gu Tong’s mentality, she knew this was her opportunity!

"Sir... see... she admitted... she wants to harm you, her crime is deserving of death..."

Acting out of spite is useless now! Only those who seize the opportunity can survive!

Mo Ruoqing clung tightly to this straw, unwilling to let go even in death! She believed that the final survivor would be her!

Lin Shuai spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear!

He understood Gong Chenli’s temperament; the man was surrounded by danger and would not spare anyone who tried to assassinate him...

Even if it only aroused his suspicion, it would be a dead end!

The atmosphere in the hall had been pressed to its lowest, a cold wind blowing, freezing even water into ice, enveloping everyone inside, unable to escape...

Gong Chenli stood high on the second-floor railing, his eyebrows twitching, and his sharp eagle-like eyes fixed on Gu Tong, wishing to pierce a hole through her!

The clear message was directly conveyed; he needed an explanation!
