Chapter 2014: Chapter 2014: Loyal Guardian (22)
"Do you know Shi Yi?""Who is that?"
Kou Da’s puzzled expression didn’t seem fake.
Kou Da didn’t care about who Chuzheng mentioned. Suddenly, his demeanor shifted with a hint of confidence as he said, "Third Princess Consort, if you let me go now, leave the book, and keep silent after you return, you will still be the Third Princess Consort."
"What if I don’t?" The big boss always has a rebellious streak.
"Third Princess Consort, you don’t want to miss tomorrow’s sunrise, do you?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Kou Da chuckled, the wrinkles on his face piling up, surprisingly giving him a more kindly look.
It was obvious Kou Da had some kind of backup, daring to reveal his true nature at this moment.
"I suppose no one knew when the Third Princess Consort came over, so even if you disappear today, who would know how you vanished?"
"No matter how capable your brother is, can he conjure up evidence from thin air?"
"Third Princess Consort, you mustn’t choose the wrong path."
Chuzheng understood, "You want to kill to silence me?"
"Third Princess Consort, I’m just giving you a choice."
"Oh." Chuzheng’s face was cold, "Then thank you, oh."
Kou Da didn’t hear a hint of gratitude, but rather felt provoked.
"Third Princess Consort, don’t decline the toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Chuzheng suddenly chimed in, "I’ve poisoned your grandson."
Kou Da: "!!!"
"Do you think if I die, he can survive?" Who can’t make threats! Do you think I eat plants for a living?
Chuzheng bent down to pick up the book, "Is your grandson more important, or is my life more important? Why don’t you make a choice too?"
Kou Da: "..."
Though there was some change in Kou Da’s expression, he didn’t show much.
He wasn’t sure if what Chuzheng said was true or false...
What if she was deceiving him?
Kou Da steeled himself and whistled out the window.
A fierce murderous aura surged in, the sound of breaking windows followed the tail note of the whistle.
Whoosh—
The coldly gleaming long sword aimed straight at Chuzheng’s vitals.
Chuzheng rolled the book in her hand, effortlessly deflecting the sword. The book pressed against the blade, rotating counterclockwise, forcing the sword down.
The assassin was startled, not expecting Chuzheng to easily parry.
He immediately withdrew the sword and retreated backward.
But Chuzheng didn’t give her the chance, swiftly dodging behind the assassin, and a swift kick landed right on the assassin’s backside.
