Chapter 182: Embrace Him Tightly
"One month... is that too short? Can it be done?"
"Just wait for my news."
After Jingsheng left, Gu Xichen sounded somewhat uneasy, "Why do I feel she wasn’t sincere? These assassins have no heart to begin with. Once we let her go this time, we might not be able to catch her again."
"What do you think the talisman water I had her drink is for? It’s a Soul-binding Talisman. If she turns against us as soon as she gets back, we’ll be able to claim her soul from here. So, we’ll reciprocate her sincerity in kind. Besides, no one wants to live a life of constant exploitation and oppression. She longs for the life of an ordinary person. If she’s smart enough, she will weigh the pros and cons to make the best choice. I believe in this. After all, she couldn’t be known as the top assassin of T Country if she wasn’t clever. It’s just a pity she tried to kill you twice and failed, and ended up being caught by you. You must have had your master’s spirit watching over you from the heavens."
Hearing her say this, Gu Xichen asked again, "Then do you have a way to release her from control? And within a month, I feel like this is going to be very tricky."
"I have my own methods. You don’t need to worry about this; you just need to be ever-vigilant against those who want to kill you. These next few days, there will likely be a continuous stream of people causing you trouble." Gu Lili sighed, "I’ll put a stop to your stepmother’s schemes so she can’t make a move against you. For the rest, you’ll have to manage on your own."
Gu Xichen nodded, "Okay."

Gu Lili returned home, having dashed over early in the morning without even having breakfast.
