Chapter 28
Holding my breath I pull up his neck which is hung low, grunting low I stand straight rolling up my long sleeves, sighing wearily I try again to lift up his head.
Gu Weiting is drunk as we had six pots of liquor which are too good and expensive, every time he moved forward with other intention I distracted him to drink and finally he is knocked down, taking his state as an advantage I began to look for the key but it’s too difficult to find where it is due the thick layer of clothes he is wearing and I cannot find the hook of the chain.
Kneeling down behind him I lift his neck, his head keeps on moving a little higher and it falls low again as a stubborn brat. Cursing and grumbling in my mind I try to lift up and finally I hold his head my palm searching for the key everywhere.
Furrowing my eyebrows I pay attention to the noise which can be heard from outside, the sound of things breaking and people shouting seems like it’s a fight, my eyes widens in horror when Gu Weiting sits straight abruptly making my eyes go wide, his sarcastic chuckle filling the room, before I could react a shriek leaves my lips when he holds my arm and gets up turning around swiftly, I try to grasp his arm when I see him popping up a knife but he holds me in front of him twisting my left arm behind my back and my right palm buried into his holding the knife close to my neck capturing me in his hold, the sharp silver edge placed a few inches away from my throat , I gulp down when the doors slam open welcoming ChengLi, HenYu and Feng Lei.
“What are you all doing?,” My question comes out as soon as they enter the room.
Why are they in here when I gave no signal that I got the key?
Keeping a step forward I gasp when the coldness of the metal touches my skin the knife kept in a slanted position which makes me to bring my foot back to place standing straight as he tightens the grip on my arm digging his nails into my flesh.
“The key is not with him,” HenYu answers taking a step forward in a hurry.
“Step back,” Gu Weiting growls aloud making me flinch as the noise just rang close to my eardrums like the bell being dinged close to the ear.
Feng Lei spreads his right arm gesturing HenYu to step back all three of them watching at us fearfully, their eyes filled with concern.
“Who are they?,” He yells wriggling me in his tight grip the point of the knife lands right above my flesh which will get in at any little movement.
“My classmates, they study with me and they will be very worried if something happens, I’m sure that they will taunt you at night if I fall dead now,” I answer crying aloud waiting till he loosens his grip a little so that I can make a move.
Moving his gaze from me he looks straight watching the three of them staring at me in horror with wide eyes. I have no idea why but my eyes always first lands on Feng Lei.
“How can you even joke at this time,” Feng Lei asks startled by my behaviour
“Tell him not to take a step,” Gu Weiting brings his face on my shoulder the smell of alcohol hitting my nostrils “Tell,” he twists my arm forcefully which makes me bite my lower lip when he pushes the edge of the knife into my flesh letting the spot bleed a little as I remained silent.
“Don’t move, don’t move,” I scream my eyeballs settling on the left edge of my eyes watching Gu Weiting, a sadistic smile playing on his lips.
“Uffff,” comes the loud dramatic weary sigh, all our eyes focusing to the centre looking at ChengLi who grabs the table which is laying on it’s flat surface, placing it correctly he takes his seat on it.
“What are you doing?,” HenYu yells making ChengLi laugh staring straight at Gu Weiting.
“Don’t you think that she has something on her sleeve,” he utters passing me a glance his eyes trying to convey some message but I don’t get it at all.
It’s over, I have no idea what’s he up to and I’m sure that my skin is going to be sliced today and my funeral will be held tomorrow.
I don’t want to die before knowing who killed my loved ones… Wait, my identity will be exposed if I die here… I still have to taste many delicious foods… No way
I come out of my thoughts when I hear Gu Weiting his dry cold voice hitting right on my eardrums which would burst at any moment as he is screaming.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do you mean?,” He shouts his tone showing that he puzzled for sure but to be honest I have nothing on my sleeve, I’m just waiting till he removes that knife from my neck so that I can get rid of his hold, a hidden smile makes it’s way in my mind when I feel his grip loosen the point of the knife untouching my skin.
“Do you think that this woman is afraid of your threats,” he points at me raising his brows at me proudly when he finds out that I understood what he means but the two men who are standing beside him are clueless exchanging glance at me and him.
“Make sure she is a woman first,” crossing his arms over his chest he moves forward from his seat , the side of his lips twitching up when Gu Weiting’s hold loosens.
My eyes lightens in joy when I see him move away the knife but it darkens the very next second when he brings his face closer to my neck my eyes falls off it’s sockets in astonishment. I wriggle in his grip when he inhales on my skin “You smell good,” he whispers pushing his lips hard on my skin kissing on my neck, I curl up my toes and form my palms to a ball closing it tight biting my lower lip not liking this situation at all, his touch disgusts me.
“Let her go,” Feng Lei shouts angrily making his way towards us but stops in his tracks when he brings up the knife again. I look up closing my eyes ashamed on the fact that I cannot help myself every single touch of his making my blood boil, my eyelids shoot open when he leaves my arm behind and runs his hand around my waist, understanding his actions in a millisecond I push his hands away with my which he freed just now.
He keeps a step forward to attack, taking a step back I punch right on his nose making him to bring up his palm to hold his nose shouting and cursing as it bleeds terribly, before he could do something Feng Lei kicks on his stomach making him fall on his knees.
Turning to my right I see him glaring at him in anger and then moves his gaze to me “You alright,” he asks softly when I stare at his side features a spontaneous smile making it’s way on my lips without my realisation when I nod a yes.
“Get them,” Gu Weiting’s voice echoes in the damaged room making us to move our gaze from each other to the door where five men walks in out of nowhere.
Where have they been all this while?
Feng Lei jumps forward to help ChengLi and HenYu who are fighting them, taking my hand fan from the floor I throw it to one of their head to grab their attention and as expected he walks towards me furiously, walking ahead I move my leg up kicking right on the side of his neck making contact on the back as well which makes him to fall on the opposite direction.
“The officers are here,” HenYu announces when they come rushing in dragging the men laying on the floor with them.
Rubbing my left arm I look straight to find out that Feng Lei’s eyes are on me, his lips forms to a smile when I smile.
He looks too good when he smiles.
“Watch out HenYu,” HenYu shouts making me cautious, turning around immediately I kick him on his knee which makes him to lose control over his limbs, he begins to fall down, a gasp leaves my lips when he pushes me making me to step back on my dress.
I shut my eyes tight waiting till my body hits on the floor but it doesn’t, opening my left eye slightly to see my saviour my lips parts, those two orbs looking deep down at me.
It’s Feng Lei
