Chapter 147 - Third Young Master Ye, You’re Such A Two-faced Man! (III)
Ye Lanzhang extended his hand toward Chu Wuyou but she suddenly kicked him before he could touch her. Ye Lanzhang found himself kneeling in front of her before he had a sense of what was going on.
He, who was now on the ground, did not have a chance to be surprised at the unexpected turns of events. This was because he suddenly felt the sharp edges of a blade being pressed against the smooth skin of his neck.
Ye Lanzhang finally realized his position several moments later. He raised his head and regarded Chu Wuyou who was standing in front of him in full height.
Chu Wuyou appeared calm and unperturbed. Her gaze was as still as water when they penetrated into Ye Lanzhang’s eyes. The man felt as if he had fallen into a thousand-years-old ice cave all of a sudden. He was overwhelmed by an icy sensation that was cutting through his bones.
Right at this moment, her face did not reveal any panic or fear. The innocence from earlier had also disappeared completely.
What frightened Ye Lanzhang more was the blade she was holding in her hand, which was now placed carefully against the fold of his neck. He could feel the sharpness of the metal pressed against his skin with each breath that he took.
He was terrified. He feared for the fragility of his life.
“You, you, what are you doing?” Ye Lanzhang asked in a voice laced with extreme fear. “Don’t do anything stupid. You better be careful. Killing me comes with the price of your own life.”
Ye Lanzhang reckoned he could try putting the wind up her.
“Don’t you know that I’m mentally ill? Then you should know that rule doesn’t apply to a patient with mental illness.” Chu Wuyou teased with her brows. She appeared at ease as if not at all perturbed by his threat.
“Didn’t you say that you’ve fully recovered?” Color drained from Ye Lanzhang’s face within seconds.
“Yes, but it can recur at any time upon different needs.” Chu Wuyou twitched her lips into a smile. Ye Lanzhang, on the other hand, was exasperated by her willful tease.
Her explanation almost knocked him face down to the ground.
“Anyway, I wasn’t thinking of taking your life. I’m leaning towards taking away something else that’s equally important to you.” Chu Wuyou sized him up and down deliberately as she spoke to make her intentions clear.
“You need to know that for a mentally-ill patient to inflict such harm onto another person is no different from grazing one’s skin. We don’t have to be held responsible for our actions.” Chu Wuyou threatened him on purpose since incidents like that were negotiated on a case-to-case basis.
Ye Lanzhang was petrified and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. His hands flew over to the area between his legs subconsciously. “Don’t, don’t do that.”
Chu Wuyou moved the sharp blade against his skin playfully. He felt the pain even if there was no blood.
1“What, what are you going to do to me?” His face went pale in fear and the shaking of his body became even more visible. “Tell me what you are going to do.”
“I’ve always been a considerate and understanding person. Since the two of you have already planned a great performance for everyone’s pleasure, I shouldn’t deprive you of the joy to perform and I shouldn’t deprive the audience of the entertainment either.” Chu Wuyou narrowed her eyes slightly. Her gaze was exceptionally captivating under the illumination of the light.
“What do you mean?” Ye Lanzhang seemed baffled by her words.
“Just carry out the performance as planned.” Chu Wuyou knew he understood her meanings but she did not mind making things explicitly clear.
“Carry it out as planned?” A twinkle of brilliance flashed across Ye Lanzhang’s eyes. He thought he could do anything he wished since she had no clue what was the original plan anyway.
“Aren’t you plotting to have me seduce you? Sure, just act it out as is.” Chu Wuyou read his mind within seconds.
Ye Lanzhang widened his eyes and stared at her in disbelief. How? How did she learn of their plan?
He was certain he did not accidentally reveal it earlier!
He could not continue the scheme as planned since she already saw through it.
Otherwise, he would walk right into her trap and he would be the one in trouble eventually.
“Hah, you’re just bluffing. I don’t believe that you actually dare to harm me. I’m the Young Master of the Ye family.” Ye Lanzhang decided to gamble his luck after a brief consideration.
“Oh, is that right? You would probably reconsider after watching this.” An enigmatic smile appeared on Chu Wuyou’s face as if she was expecting this exact reply.
