Chapter 875: Value

Translator: Lonelytree 

Gu Yan started to cry bitterly.

This explanation clearly made that person believe it.

I couldn’t help but sigh. I really couldn’t underestimate anyone. In my eyes, Gu Yan was an idiot, yet she was able to make up such a lie in such a desperate situation.

Although I was trapped here now and must have been harmed by Gu Yan, I was still quite grateful that she didn’t say anything about Ye Qian.

“Young master, please, let me go. I’m really a worthless person,” Gu Yan pleaded.

The man said calmly, “Everyone is useful. You can’t look down on anyone. This is the experience I’ve learned from all these years in prison. Didn’t you successfully trick Nanxing into coming here?

“Gu Yan, I’ve underestimated you in the past. Besides, you were able to hook up with a rich man in such a complicated environment. You even made him run to Africa for you. It shows that your ability is not ordinary! Let me think about it. Let me think about what else you can do for me. In the past, I was at a disadvantage because I was too arrogant. Now, I won’t. I will use people to the extreme!”

That person laughed twice. His voice was as unpleasant as an owl.

My heart skipped a beat. Who is this person? He knows Gu Yan so well. He didn’t kidnap me for no reason. Was he in prison?

My brain was working at full speed. Who is this person?

Gu Yan sobbed. “Young master, you really think too highly of me. I’m really a good-for-nothing. I just want to find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life. I really, really, can’t help you! Why don’t you go and look for Jing Yan and the second madam? They all have tricks and connections. They’re better than me! I’m useless. I can’t help with anything!”

Gu Yan begged bitterly. This was the first time I had seen Gu Yan like this.

In the past, she followed Ye Qian as a follower. Later on, she fawned on Lu Yan and acted as a lackey and mouthpiece. She offended many people, but in reality, no one would remember her because they all knew who she was speaking up for. All the grudges were pinned on the main character.

Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that Gu Yan was really capable. She did not actually draw much hatred for herself. Instead, after Ye Qian left and Lu Yan fell, she was able to quickly cling onto Jing Yan’s thigh and watch the chaotic battle from the side.

As expected, everyone should not be underestimated. This person’s conclusion was correct.

However, if he had been in prison before, who else could he be?

Gu Yan’s pleading seemed to have some effect. That person slowly walked a few steps around us.

“Do you still have any dealings with Ye Qian?” That person asked.

I was shocked.

“No, I’ve already broken off my dealings with Ye Qian. Since she was chased away by the Gu family, I’ve been relying on Lu Yan. She’s always been clear about it. On the surface, she’s gentle and amiable. However, in her heart, she’s clear about everyone’s debts. How could she still have any dealings with me? Even if she has any relationship with me, she is probably here to take revenge on me. How would I dare to approach her?” Gu Yan replied quickly.

Gu Yan was protecting Ye Qian. At least, they still had a little sisterly relationship. It was not in vain for Ye Qian to help her.

That person fell silent as if he was thinking about Gu Yan’s words.

This person also knew Ye Qian. This person actually asked about Ye Qian!
