Li San didn’t expect the little girl in his hands to recklessly throw her neck against the dagger, which left him montarily stunned. Once he realized what had happened, he quickly moved the dagger away.
Right now, this little girl can’t die; otherwise, how can he use her to threaten others?
Seeing Li San move the dagger away, Yiyi imdiately seized the opportunity, dodged the dagger sideways, then turned around in a swift move, knocked the dagger out of his hand with one hand, and grabbed his neck with the other.
This unexpected change startled everyone present.
Li San reacted quickly, imdiately counterattacking, but the clutch around his neck only tightened, making his breathing suddenly acute and causing him to draw a blank montarily.
"Don’t move, or I’ll snap your neck."
Yiyi looked coldly at Li San, her eyes reflecting a deep indifference to everything.
Li San took a breath and t Yiyi’s gaze, a wave of chill spiking through him. He was all too familiar with that look; it was the look of soone who views lives as insignificant. He’s seen it countless tis from his own eyes and those of his accomplices, indicating that the little girl in front of him was serious, and if he continued to move, she really would snap his neck.
It seed his luck wasn’t good; the little girl he picked up randomly wasn’t a pushover.
At this mont, Gu Tingyu reacted swiftly, stepping forward to restrain Li San’s hands behind his back and then tied his feet.
Seeing Li San tied up thoroughly, Yiyi let go of his neck.
By then, Li San’s neck had already shown a purple bruise, indicating how hard Yiyi had used her strength monts earlier.
"Little girl, I really have to thank you this ti. With your help, I managed to capture this criminal successfully," Gu Tingyu said, full of admiration, smiling more genuinely at Yiyi. He hadn’t expected the little girl’s moves to be so quick and fierce; she seed to be quite skilled.
Hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, Yiyi quickly waved it off, saying, "No need to thank , no need, instead it’s who should thank you."
Actually, she should have thanked him long ago. Without Gu Tingyu, she wouldn’t have been saved in her previous life. But at that ti, she had misunderstandings with him, so after being rescued, she left without a word.
Thinking of this, Yiyi’s thoughts drifted away.
Even now, she still vividly rembers that chaotic night during the second half of her third year of high school with Gu Tingyu. She recalled waking up the next day and slapping Gu Tingyu several tis, yet Gu Tingyu knelt on one knee, promising to take responsibility, which she fiercely rejected.
Initially, she wanted to report Gu Tingyu, but Zheng Xiangqiao prevented her, and later, her mother had an accident.
At that ti, she was utterly disheartened, filled with despair for life, extrely vulnerable. It was then, in her defenseless state, that she listened to Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue’s suggestion, dropped out of school to work, and ultimately ended up in dicine Valley.
After being rescued, she dragged her body, already corrupted with toxins from dicine Valley, and found Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue, slowly ensuring their deaths.
It was also then that she learned the truth. On that day, when she went out to eat with Zheng Xiangqiao, Zheng had already drugged her water cup. But due to a server’s mistake, hers got swapped with Gu Tingyu’s cup at the next table, leading Gu Tingyu to drink the water, resulting in their incident.
Only after killing them and discovering the truth did she realize it was too late, with her body overtaken by toxins, beyond recovery.
"The one who should be thanking is ."
Gu Tingyu’s voice brought Yiyi back from her thoughts, and she looked directly at the young man in front of her. His unrivaled beauty, with sharply defined features like a sculpture, seed extraordinary. Yet the sharp glint in his eyes made him intimidating, though his lips, perfectly balanced, wore a delightful smile that could enrapture anyone.
Opening her mouth, Yiyi had many things she wanted to say but found herself speechless all of a sudden, rely asking, "Did this person commit so cri?"
"Yes, this person has done many bad things."
Gu Tingyu kicked Li San, then looked at Yiyi again, saying, "But little girl, don’t walk through secluded alleys like this next ti; it’s too isolated and unsafe."
Yiyi obediently nodded.
Seeing the little girl’s obedient deanor, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but smile again, "Little girl, my na is Gu Tingyu. What’s yours?"
"My na is Mo Yiyi."
Yiyi raised her head, directly eting Gu Tingyu’s gaze, stating her na firmly, "Nice to et you, Gu Tingyu." Finally, they t again.
Hearing the little girl call him directly by na, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but suggest, "You can call Brother Gu; I am twenty years old."
"I’m seventeen too, no small age."
Yiyi murmured a rebuttal, but inwardly kept repeating Gu Tingyu’s na, not planning to call him Brother Gu, feeling calling him by na felt more intimate.
At this, Gu Tingyu slightly raised an eyebrow.
The little girl looked about thirteen or fourteen, yet she was already seventeen. But before he could think too much, he sharply sensed a presence, darted out imdiately, and grabbed a short man hiding in a corner.
Li San had been lying silently, with an inscrutable expression, but upon seeing the short man, he burst out swearing, "Damn you, Zhang Shunzi, didn’t I already tell you to find soone, why haven’t you?"
"I... I was thinking if there might be a chance to shake off the soldier and then escape together."
Hearing this, Li San wished to strike Zhang Shunzi right now, "You worthless piece!"
Now he regretted not evaluating properly when recruiting, ending up bringing along such a fool. Now, they’ve been caught together, and backup wouldn’t arrive.
At this thought, Li San glared fiercely at Zhang Shunzi, his eyes dangerous.
Zhang Shunzi hunched over, lowering his head, realizing that perhaps he really ssed up this ti.
Looking at the two, Gu Tingyu directly told Yiyi, "I have things to attend to now; I’m leaving. Let’s keep in touch."
Thinking for a mont, Gu Tingyu took out a pad of paper and pen from his pocket, quickly jotting down contact information, handing it to Yiyi before leaving with Li San and Chen Shunzi. He needed to speed up finding Mr. Chen’s whereabouts.
Watching Gu Tingyu’s departing figure, Yiyi’s feelings were complicated. She had so many things she wanted to say to Gu Tingyu.
But it’s okay; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Looking at the piece of paper in her hand, Yiyi’s face broke into a smile.
