Chapter 316: The Favor of Saving One’s Life
"Are you asking me to..." Gu Fan understood what Ning Qi was implying. Phrasing it as subduing was a nicely spun phrase. He knew that Hu Bo also had a shotgun. To deal with him, it would mean having to make a lethal move.
Seeing Gu Fan’s hesitation, Ning Qi asked, "Gu Fan, aren’t you getting scared? Do you really want to see Hu Bo doing things to me...?"
"I’m not scared, and I won’t let Hu Bo bully you. I’m just thinking if there is another way to resolve this, through a civil discussion," Gu Fan wasn’t easily swayed. He didn’t want to be Ning Qi’s pawn.
Ning Qi continued to coax him, "I also hope it doesn’t come to that, but Hu Bo is too dangerous. If we both want to survive, our best bet is to subdue him together. You saw his attitude towards you just now. I can’t guarantee that I can always persuade him to refrain from violence."
Hearing this, Gu Fan was shocked. Upon reflection, it was indeed a dangerous situation, as Ning Qi described.
Seeing that Gu Fan seemed about to relent, Ning Qi pressed on, "If we subdue Hu Bo, only the two of us will know about the treasure. You take half, I take half, and your half is mine, mine is yours."
Understanding fully, the idea that using lethal force on Hu Bo could result not only in acquiring all of the treasure, but also winning over the woman he had been eying, this was tempting.
Gu Fan was astonished at Ning Qi. He never imagined that this woman was capable of such irresistible seduction.
Suddenly, Ning Qi clung to him, her face showing immense fear, "Help me, help me, Gu Fan. I’m really scared, protect me."
