"Xue, you should head back first," Gu Tao said to Wu Xue as he stood at the villa's entrance. "Who knows what might happen here tonight."
"Then... then I'll head back first. Take care of yourselves."
"Don't worry," Gu Tao said, taking out something the size of a lighter that could glow from his pocket. "Take this, press it if anything happens."
"An alarm?"
"A lighter." Gu Tao flipped it on a couple of times, and indeed, it sparked into flame. "Light can dispel the darkness in your heart."
Wu Xue: "???"
After seeing Wu Xue off, Gu Tao returned into the villa. He Yuxiang was sitting in the living room watching TV and helping himself to food from the fridge as if he owned the place. He looked completely at ease, without a trace of the tranquility and dignity one would expect from a Buddhist disciple. Instead, there was a bit of a scumbag vibe about him.
