Chapter 1324: You’re So Scheming

“However, as long as I let go gently, you will fall into the river. Don’t worry, you won’t die for the time being after falling. I will immediately ask the crew to jump down and save you.”

Gu Yundong spoke slowly and meaningfully. What else did Cui Lan not understand?

Yes, as long as she did not drown, Gu Yundong would not kill anyone.

When she was rescued by the rough crew, she would be drenched in public and her innocence would be lost.

She would suffer from rumors. If she could not marry into a good family, even her father would be implicated by her. He would be pointed at and his future would be affected.

Cui Lan’s expression changed. She looked up at Gu Yundong in disbelief. “You’re so sinister.”

“Thank you for your compliment.” Gu Yundong accepted her praise with a smile.

Cui Lan took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, “Help, someone is killing…”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt Gu Yundong loosen her grip.

Cui Lan immediately screamed, “Ah… What are you doing?”

“Continue shouting. See if it’s faster for you to call for help or if it’s faster for me to throw you down.”

Cui Lan instantly shut her mouth and did not dare to make a sound. She regretted choosing this position. No one came here, and there were buckets and sacks blocking the way. Besides, the sky was dark now. Coupled with the sound of water, no one could hear them.

Cui Lan felt like she couldn’t hold on any longer. Her hands felt like they were about to break.

She was extremely afraid. She looked up at Gu Yundong, who still looked calm, and hated her.

“What are you trying to do?”

Gu Yundong smiled. It was finally time to start negotiating.

“I don’t know what I want to do either. After all, you were the one who pushed me first. I only did this because of my quick wit. I wasn’t prepared to ask you to compensate me in advance. Of course, you can also think about what bargaining chips you have to convince me to pull you up.”

Wasn’t the hint obvious enough?

As expected, Cui Lan’s expression changed slightly.

“I don’t have much leverage.”

Gu Yundong smiled. This girl was still being stubborn at this juncture.

Alright, Gu Yundong pried her fingers off her wrist one by one.

Cui Lan was shocked and hurriedly shouted, “Bai Muzi, I have news for you about Bai Muzi.”

Gu Yundong stopped. That was more obedient.

She looked like she was weighing whether this bargaining chip was big enough. “Alright, since you want to tell me so badly, I’ll listen. If I’m satisfied, I’ll pull you up.”

“What if you go back on your word?”

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “But you only have one choice now.”

Cui Lan took a deep breath and her expression became even uglier.

Yes, she had no other choice now.

She would take a gamble or be thrown down.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.”

“You’d better tell me the truth.” Gu Yundong smiled. “If I hear anything amiss, I’ll throw you down.”

“You…”

Cui Lan pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. “Bai Muzi is in the capital.”

Gu Yundong loosened her grip and Cui Lan said anxiously, “I’m not lying.”

“This is very strange. If you knew that Bai Muzi was in the capital, you should have told Shao Qingyuan long ago. Why didn’t you tell him back then? He wasn’t married at that time. It should have been easier for you to succeed at that time, right?”

Cui Lan hurriedly said, “I didn’t know long ago. I was only informed when I arrived at the Heding Prefecture.”
