Gu Lanqing was silent for three seconds before nodding. "Alright."
She walked towards Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's cold eyes were fixed on Guan Minglie. "You can leave now, before I fall out with you."
Her tone paused for a moment. "Also, you're not allowed to let her come to the Imperial Palace in the future. All of the Imperial Palace's uniforms have been changed. "
Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Guan Minglie's back. He seemed to have played it too far.
"Alright, alright …" He nodded repeatedly and walked out of the room.
"Sir, thank you for helping me out." Gu Lanqing stopped and said gratefully.
She tilted her head slightly, narrowed her eyes even more, and looked at the man sitting in the darkness.
His voice was familiar. Who is it?
"Do you really know how to jump if I don't open my mouth?" Huo Yan asked in a gloomy tone.
He knew that Gu Lanqing had night blindness and didn't recognize him.
He had not seen her for five years, so it was normal for her to not recognize his voice.
"I have no choice." Gu Lan smiled, a smile that seemed to be full of mockery, hiding the scheming in her eyes.
But she would protect herself, and no one would take advantage of her.
"What a good 'no choice'." Huo Yan let out a cold laugh, which was filled with a bone-chilling intent.
The danger had increased yet again. Gu Lan Qing felt goosebumps all over her body. She remembered the look in his eyes when she first entered the room. It was as if he had swallowed her whole.
This person was definitely not a good person. He was probably even harder to deal with than Guan Minglie.
Sure enough, he opened his mouth, his tone aloof and full of contempt: "If you want me to release Ye Tang, then take off all your clothes and go dance with the steel pipe."
He clenched his fist tightly, and the smell of blood seemed to emit from his throat.
Even though she had experienced too many things in these five years, she was no longer that little girl from five years ago who could only cry when faced with humiliation. Hearing this humiliating request, her eyes lit up with fire.
However, the fiery light flashed for a moment before disappearing.
She lowered her head and looked at the second button on her chest — it was a custom-made miniature camera.
Five minutes more and she would have five more minutes before the police arrived.
The video footage taken by this miniature camera was sufficient to prove that she was forced to do so because Ye Tang was in his hands.
Even if this man's eyes and ears were sharp, with this miniature camera, he still had to let Ye Tang go, and she would be able to escape unscathed.
His clenched fist loosened.
Although she didn't agree to Huo Yan's request, she had already made a choice with her actions.
She walked closer to Huo Yan. Her slim waist was like a willow branch swaying in the wind. It was extremely beautiful. Her white fingers gripped the wine that Guan Minglie had opened earlier.
However, the voice that came out of her mouth was not as bewitching as her smile. Instead, it was filled with a slight tremble, "Sir, please don't make things difficult for me like this … "Ahhh!"
She let out a cry of surprise as she slammed her knee onto the tea table and fell towards Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's heart tightened. He stood up and grabbed her shoulder.
However, her next action caused the worry that arose in the bottom of his eyes to instantly freeze.
She took hold of his hand and pulled down hard. The qipao on her shoulder was immediately pulled apart, revealing her snow-white, smooth shoulders.
Gu Lanqing's voice was filled with panic and shame. "Teacher, please don't …"
"What are you doing?" Huo Yan was furious. He tried his best to shake Gu Lanqing off.
However, she held his hand with all her might, and with a ripping sound, her qipao was torn apart. The soft snow-white color of her chest was reflected in his eyes, and as she gasped for breath, it curved seductively.
Instantly, his Adam's apple quivered and the light in his eyes deepened …
