Chapter 830: Betting on His Soft Heart

Guisu’s large palm landed on Baili Xia’s delicate neck, his fingers tightening immediately, locking onto her throat tightly.

“Speak!

Is she dead or alive?

If she’s alive, where is she?”

Guisu’s gaze was icy cold, cold to the extreme: “If you dare to lie to me, I won’t let you go!”

“She…” Baili Xia opened her mouth and took a deep breath, “She is alive…”

She was gambling, gambling on his moment of soft-heartedness.

Her stake was that he was a person who knew gratitude, as could be seen in his vengeful spirit toward Lu Xuening.

A grateful person could never be beyond redemption.

“Where exactly is he?” Guisu roared.

“I… don’t know.” Feeling the grip on her neck tighten, Baili Xia’s fingertips trembled slightly.

But her gaze was firm.

“I don’t know now… but I… I can try to find out her whereabouts… Guisu, let go, I… I can’t breathe…”

In the past, how could Guisu have let go just because she said “I can’t breathe”?

But, this girl had… shown him kindness at least.

His eyes darkened, yet the force between his fingers relaxed slightly.

Although he had not completely let go, at least the pressure was no longer suffocating her.

A chill went through Baili Xia’s heart, she had indeed gambled correctly, Guisu still had a bit of pity for her, because he truly was a person who appreciated favors.

So, she decided to gamble once more.

“I don’t know her whereabouts now, but I can try to inquire from others.”

“Mu Xiaojiu?” He should have thought of it earlier, if Lu Xuening was really still alive, then the only person who knew her whereabouts must be Mu Xiaojiu or his people.

But Baili Xia did not answer, after all, this directly involved Uncle.

She really had no other option now, she could only delay.

“I’m not going to tell you who it is, I overheard it unintentionally.” She took a deep breath, trying to appear unconcerned, but she was always closely watching Guisu’s expression.

“Give me some time… six months, and after six months, I will tell you…”

“You want to delay it?” Guisu’s eyebrows knitted together.

Did she think that something he had decided could be changed in six months?

“Do you think his secret is so easily discovered?

What if I agree to three months and still can’t find anything by then?”

“Fine, then three months!” Guisu’s face was cold, and he finally let her go.

Mu Xiaojiu’s lips were indeed tightly sealed; if he didn’t want to reveal anything himself, trying to find out something from him was as hard as reaching the heavens.

This girl, being around Mu Xiaojiu, at least had some opportunity.

However… he furrowed his brow, why did he always feel like he was being tricked?

Three months… was it too long?

But he had already spoken…

“Alright, three months then! I’ll try my best!” Not giving him any chance to back out, Baili Xia immediately said.

Inside, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy.

Although, even after three months, she still didn’t know how she was going to explain it to him.

Lu Xuening was indeed dead, and she didn’t know how he would react when he discovered the truth, whether he would be so angry he’d strangle her.

But, delaying for three months was always good.

As for what to do after three months… who knows?

Maybe in three months, everything would be different.
