She wasn't nervous about whether the man behind her would kill her, but about Jin Zijin's attitude! His attitude would determine whether the view below the cliff was a breathtaking panorama or a landscape of horror strewn with corpses!
Since she had been with him, she felt as though she had involuntarily become someone else's chess piece, her utility and disposal not hers to control. Perhaps she belonged to him, or perhaps to someone else. Whose it was didn't matter, as long as it wasn't Jin Zijin's.
Gu Youyou clenched her fist as she looked at Jin Zijin, the hope in her eyes so clear to him that for a moment, the softer part of his heart controlled his will, wanting to prioritize her.
But could he really rescue her at all costs? He didn't have much time left.
He was suddenly startled, then quickly allowed that mercy to recede, his heart as hard as iron.
