With the window smashed, the cold wind from outside suddenly poured into the originally already frigid room, drilling into everyone's clothes through their necklines, such that they couldn't help but to tremble.
An Zeru strode over, the sound from the broken glass on the ground was particularly harsh as it scratched against the floor. By this time, Gu Yu had already reacted. He threw down the chair and quickly went behind Cen Simiao, taking out a dagger from his pocket to press against her neck.
[T/N: the raws said dagger.]
His face had paled, his tone was sharp and flustered. "You get out of here! Or I'll kill her right now!"
An Zeru's gaze was fierce as he firmly glared at Gu Yu, his momentum was also particularly terrifying. Having heard the other's words, his steps came to a pause, his lips pursed.
Gu Yu's hands shook while the tip of the knife was pressed against Cen Simiao's neck, he stared at the other person with his teeth gritted.
An Zeru clenched his fist, his jaw was taut as he dryly swallowed, his eyes were gloomy. "If you hurt her at all today, you just wait and see."
All the muscles on Gu Yu's body were already tense, but then he heard the other's next sentence. "Let her go and I'll give you whatever you want."
He saw the seriousness in An Zeru's eyes and immediately sneered in an eerie tone, "She truly has the ability, able to keep such a firm hold over you."
He lowered his head to look at Cen Simiao. "Before you would always put on such a fierce act in front of me, I wonder what you're like in front of him?"
Then the knife was pressed even closer. Cen Simiao was still looking down, and only when she heard his question that her lashes quivered. She looked at Gu Yu. "You want to know?"
Her tone could not sound any lazier as the ending syllable perked up invitingly, it was as if her word had nothing to do with her, that she wasn't the subject.
And so, Gu Yu's anger was aroused again. Contrarily, this lessened his panic. He was afraid that the current situation would become too big and didn't dare to put any more strength into his hands, so he could only put even more effort into his words.
A hint of surprise flashed through Cen Simiao's eyes, the rope severed.
An Zeru's face was ugly. As Gu Yu had his head bowed, he had wanted to rush up to snatch the knife. But then the other suddenly raised his[GY] head and saw his{AZ} movements. Immediately, Gu Yu became agitated and he started waving his free hand in the air wildly.
Cen Simiao took this opportunity to lean her body away before dropping down, rolling away from Gu Yu. An Zeru's eyes were quick and immediately, he deftly ran up. At that time, Gu Yu had also recovered his senses and also rushed forward.
The knifepoint waved to and fro.
An Zeru's gaze constricted. With the tip of his tongue pressed tight against his upper teeth and as the anger in his heart rushed to his head, his muscles immediately pulled tautly, he wanted to go forward to fight the other person, his expression a bit vicious.
Suddenly, he felt his hand being pulled. His brows scrunched up. Already feeling particularly irritable, he was about to tell the other to hurry up and run away, and not to hold him back.
But then he saw Cen Simiao pick up a stick from the corner, stuffing it into his hand.
"Hit hard, just make sure there's at least a breath left."
[T/N: Honestly, I have no clue who she's implying would only have one last breath left. Could be An Zeru, could be Gu Yu. Have fun.]
On the contrary, An Zeru calmed down with these words and just glared at her before scoffing, "You're really f*ck*ng not afraid of becoming a widow."
An Zeru has had a lot of experience in fighting. He knew very clearly where to hit such that it would be extremely painful but wouldn't cause them to lose their lives. Meanwhile, when Gu Yu was still a student, he would always be afraid of causing trouble and would act very obedient in front of his teachers, always kept his head down to study, and never involved himself in anything messy during the free times.
In a fight, he would only flaunt his bravery and fiercely try to fight back, but still, he soon fell into a disadvantage.
The knife had also been dropped somewhere along the way.
An Zeru pressed the other onto the concrete floor by the neck. In his eyes was the same gloominess as before and he jeered, "A thing like you really make people feel disgusted."
Then he punched the other once in the face, resulting in a bit of blood by the corner of his mouth.
Gu Yu struggled as a string of words poured into his ears: "To be so greedy without even having the brain to back it up, there's no way you could have justifiably succeeded. With such an ugly face yet you still want to live off a woman, why don't you get plastic surgery first."
Cen Simiao frowned, why was the other still speaking about have and have nots.
Suddenly, they heard sirens.
Gu Yu was arrested and then put on trial, which the sentencing will come out later. After hearing this news, An Zeru just lowered his eyes but didn't say a word, his gaze landed on the wound on his hand.
It was unknown what he was thinking about.
He stayed home these few days and didn't go to the company, Cen Simiao would take time to come back to see him. In the first few days, she would accompany him at home, even having to feed the other.
But then the wound started to get better, and the company had a lot of things that she needed to look over. Such that it just wouldn't do if she didn't go. So Cen Simiao had no choice but to run back and forth. An Zeru was sitting on the sofa when he suddenly heard the door being unlocked.
