Chapter 108 The Lady's Original Purpose
The lady was going mad.
She didn't understand what was wrong with Gu Chen and Paimeng? Why were they laughing again?
Also, how come this pretentious guest in the cage is not timid at all?
Did he think he wouldn't press the button, or did he think that pressing the button wouldn't kill him?
The extremely angry lady took out another object with her free hand and showed it to Gu Chen and Paimeng:
"That's enough! Stop laughing!
Look carefully, what is in my hand?
I know that this guest gentleman is best at rock element shield, I have already inquired about this.
So, I took off the Eye of God from him in advance.
In this case, this guest gentleman cannot use elemental power, nor can he use shields. I wonder how he can survive the explosion! "
Gu Chen and Paimeng couldn't help but be stunned.
The two of them looked at the so-called Zhongli's Eye of God held tightly in the lady's hand, were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter for the n+1th time!
Paimon laughed so hard that he held his stomach in mid-air, and it was obvious that his stomach hurt from laughing.
Gu Chen leaned over and laughed so hard that he didn't even pat his thighs with his hands, but hit them with his fists instead.
Later, he smiled and asked Zhongli in the cage:
"Zhongli, she took off the Eye of God from you ahead of time. She said you can no longer use elemental power.
What do you think? "
Zhongli also learned bad things.
After thinking for a while, he replied seriously:
"I stand and watch?"
Gu Chen's laughter continued.
Amidst the laughter of Gu Chen and Paimeng, Zhongli spread his hands with an innocent expression:
"This cage is so small that I can only stand."
I can’t hold it anymore. Gu Chen’s abdominal muscles are hurting from laughing. By the way, he really has abdominal muscles, and they are eight pack.
The lady over there was angry, puzzled and a little confused.
She really didn't understand what was going on. Why had these two been laughing since they arrived?
Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with both of them?
The uneasy lady looked around carefully.
The cage is in good condition. Although it looks simple, it is strong enough.
The explosive barrels are in good condition, connected to each other by machines and wires, and there are no malfunctions.
The hostage in the cage was fine and he didn't come out.
The remote control in my hand is also in good condition and there is no fault with it.
Everything is fine, why are these two people not doing well?
At this moment, the lady even had the urge to just blow up the hostages. Why think so much?
As she thought this, the lady's finger pressed on the remote control button, ready to move.
Finally, Gu Chen over there had almost finished laughing, and amid Paimeng's giggling, he finally straightened up again.
After pretending to cough twice to calm himself down, Gu Chen looked at the lady as seriously as possible:
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore.
Um... Madam, we are old friends, so let's get straight to the point.
You are the one who kidnapped Zhongli here?"
When the lady saw that Gu Chen could finally speak properly, she felt strangely relieved.
Putting on her proud attitude again, the lady nodded slightly:
“Yes, it was me who kidnapped this guest gentleman.
With all due respect, this guest gentleman has the reputation of being knowledgeable and talented, but he has lost his usual vigilance.
I just randomly hired someone in Liyue Harbor and tricked him into coming here from Liyue Harbor under the pretext of appreciating antiques unearthed from the ruins.
When I appeared and confronted him, this guest gentleman actually didn't put up much resistance. He just obediently handed over the Eye of God and was sent to the cage by me."
At this point, the lady's expression was slightly proud:
“The rest of the story fell into place naturally.
I have set up a powder keg here and asked someone to send you a letter.
Given your friendship with this guest official, you will definitely be worried and will definitely come to check it out. You will definitely be controlled and threatened by me.
Sure enough, everything was as I expected.”
Everything was as you expected? Where does your confidence come from?
Looking at the lady speechlessly and with a bit of pity, Gu Chen couldn't bear to reveal the cruel reality:
"Oh, I see.
So, Zhongli is the hostage threatening me?"
The lady nodded.
Gu Chen couldn't help but ask another question:
“Let me ask first.
Why are you alone here? Where are your Fatui advance guard? Why aren't they here?
The lady's expression was cold and beautiful:
"I understand your strength, and I know that if we were to clash head-on, no one except me would be your opponent.
"What are you bringing your men here for? To be pointless cannon fodder?"
Gu Chen was thoughtful:
“Oh, I see.
Can I understand that from the very beginning, you had no intention of threatening me and engaging in a head-on conflict with me?"
Folding her arms, the lady still nodded slightly:
"It can be understood this way."
Hearing this, Gu Chen's curiosity was largely satisfied:
“Okay, I roughly understand.
The cause and effect is very simple. You captured Zhongli, took him hostage and now you are threatening me?
But what is the reason? What is the purpose?
Why are you targeting Zhongli? Why are you threatening me? What are you going to threaten me for?
Seeing that they had finally reached the most important part, the lady breathed a sigh of relief:
"Gou Chenxing, I am happy to answer your questions.
It was not my intention to put this innocent guest gentleman in danger.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
For Liyue Harbor, although you are from the star Gou Chen, you are a newcomer and don’t have many friends who will make you cautious.
Through follow-up observation, I found that you and this guest official have a very close relationship, often have dinner together, and your relationship is extraordinary.
So I believe that the only one who can control you and threaten you is this good friend.
So I invited this guest gentleman to come and be my guest.”
Gu Chen understood and suddenly realized.
He just arrived and has few friends, and only Zhongli seems to be his good friend.
In order to control him, they captured this good friend and took him as a hostage.
Yes, he had dinner with Zhongli quite a lot during this period, and if someone noticed, it would make people think that they were very close friends, and they were indeed very close friends.
and many more!
The time when they had dinner at Wanmin Hall after executing the doctor was the rare time when Zhongli treated them to a meal. Wasn't there a Fatui hiding in the corner and observing them the whole time?
At that time, Gu Chen and Zhongli still believed that the Fatui was sent by the Young Master to keep watch.
Now it seems that it is probably not the young master's person, but the lady's person!
After thinking this through, Gu Chen continued to look at the lady:
“What’s the purpose?
You're threatening me with Zhongli, what do you want me to do?"
After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, the lady said seriously:
"I want to see the Rock God!"
Gu Chen and Paimeng were both a little confused, and Paimeng even asked directly:
"What did you say?"
Gritting her teeth slightly, the lady repeated:
"I said, I want to see the Rock God!"
