"If I said I was letting you have your way, would you believe me?"
The man's words suddenly rang in her ears.
He had been caught off guard when she first entered but that did not explain his lack of resistance while she tied him up.
The dagger in her hand did not fall.
She gritted her teeth. Why couldn't she do it?
He was clearly the enemy. Why couldn't she plunge the dagger in his throat and be done with it?
As if struck by an epiphany, she realized why she couldn't do it.
His subordinates would discover his death sooner rather than later, by which time, escape would be virtually impossible, let alone escaping with Gu Yan in tow.
Qin Shu stared at the man wrapped in gauze. She had no choice but to let him go free for the moment. If an opportunity arose in the future, she would not hesitate a second time. She would not show mercy. Death would come on swift wings.
