Chapter 876: Figured it Out

Translator: Lonelytree 

The man did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Yan seemed to be afraid that he would not believe him, so he quickly said, “Ye Qian has always been a loner. This kind of person is quite scary. I don’t dare to make friends with her.”

“Is that so? I heard that she is now hanging out with Nanxing and the others.”

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment. “Yes, that’s right…”

“That’s right? Are you so unsure?” Gu Yan’s attitude aroused the man’s suspicion.

“Gu Yan, you’re not hiding something from me, are you?” The man was keenly aware of Gu Yan’s abnormality.

“No, no, I’m not hiding anything. I’m telling the truth. Ye Qian is quite close to Nanxing and the others now. I heard that she’s also on good terms with Gu Nian, but she rarely shows her face. She’s only been behind the scenes, and she’s not as competitive as she used to be. So, I can’t get in touch with her. I haven’t gotten in touch with her!” Gu Yan explained hurriedly.

However, that person said, “That means that if you want to contact her, you can still contact her, right?”

“No, I can’t contact her!” Gu Yan blurted out.

That person let out a few strange laughs. “Gu Yan, lying is actually a kind of skill. It’s a pity that you haven’t even practiced this skill properly. I believed you at first, but you were so anxious to distance yourself from Ye Qian. It only means that you and Ye Qian are in contact. Am I right?”

Gu Yan did not speak. His expression should be one of panic and unease, right?

He did not expect this inexplicable person to be so powerful.

“Gu Yan, you’re afraid that I’ll get in contact with Ye Qian, right? Why?” The hostage’s voice turned cold.

“No, I didn’t…” Gu Yan quickly denied it.

“That year, she caught me with another woman in the bar. I never figured out who told Ye Qian that she could accurately locate and catch me. I’ve listed all the possible people, but I’ve never doubted you. Gu Yan, you’re really capable! I’ve been thinking about it day and night in prison for so many years. One by one, I investigated, and finally, I targeted you! It was you who betrayed me, wasn’t it?” That person’s voice turned cold.

“No, it wasn’t, it wasn’t. Young master, it really wasn’t. Back then, it was Jing Yan who had a conflict with Ye Qian. It was Jing Yan who told Ye Qian. It wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me! Believe me, believe me. It really wasn’t me who said it.” Gu Yan hurriedly defended herself.

I suddenly understood why Gu Yan didn’t mention anything about Ye Qian. She could sell me out, but she didn’t mention ye Yian at all. She wasn’t protecting Ye Qian, nor was she concerned about how deep her relationship with Ye Qian was. Instead, she was trying to cover up the fact that she had betrayed or hurt Ye Qian even more ruthlessly. Or perhaps, it was her actions that had hurt the person in front of her, and this matter was inextricably linked to Ye Qian.

I suddenly remembered who this person was!

Jing Ning!

I thought that the person with the strange voice should be Jing Ning!

Out of all the people I was familiar with, only Jing Ning had been in prison.

And Jing Ning had been so infatuated with Ye Qian back then. Back then, Ye Qian had left without any hesitation. Ye Qian didn’t care about Jing Ning.

But Jing Ning didn’t know that.

Jing Ning had always thought that their feelings for each other were mutual. Then, Ye Qian’s departure back then unsettled Jing Ning.

So, after Jing Ning regained his freedom, the first thing he did was capture Gu Yan and tortured her.

And Gu Yan wanted to leave so urgently not because she was disheartened but because she knew that there was no way out for her.

Ha! These people were really crazy!
