Xie Lei's sneer echoed in my ears as he stretched his long arm, constricted my neck, and slowly began to back away, "I don't buy that kind of bullshit. We all lick blood off our knife's edge; no one can fool anyone here."
His expression was cautious. As he backed away, he spoke to Cheng Yu, "If you want to save her, then do exactly as I say. Stand still and don't move, or else with a twitch of my hand, this woman's going to die."
I could feel that Xie Lei was not joking.
Ever since he had kidnapped me, I had sensed that he was a vigilant man used to a life of danger. A man living on the edge could snap and do anything.
If he decided to slice my neck right here, so far from the city, I probably wouldn't even make it to a hospital before bleeding out.
I looked at Cheng Yu not far away, coordinating my steps with Xie Lei's as we moved back step by step, my heart gradually calming down.
