Chapter 944 Lin Tan bribes Gu Yang

The bodyguards remained unmoved.

Lin Tan took out a shard of broken glass from her pocket and pointed it at her neck: "If you don't let me go, I'll die right here. When the police come to investigate, you'll all be murderers."

“No one could be the murderer.” A casual, nonchalant voice suddenly appeared.

Lin Tan subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man walking in from outside.

The moment Lin Tan saw him, her brows furrowed.

She knows this person.

The people around Huo Sinian had previously fought with Yun Ting.

"Where is Huo Sinian?" Lin Tan became even more certain of her thoughts.

"We're on our way here." Gu Yang glanced at the time. "We should be here in about half an hour."

"Let me leave immediately." Lin Tan kept the glass pointed at her neck.

"It's impossible for me to let you leave." Gu Yang walked towards her, a slight smile on his lips, and said, "I won't stop you if you want to commit suicide. Huo Sinian knew you would do this, and he prepared a medical team here in advance. As soon as you slit the glass, you will be sent to the emergency room in less than a minute."

Lin Tan frowned.

Gu Yang looked at her: "Besides, you're already dead to the outside world."

"What's the meaning."

"The car you were in plunged into the river. Qin Mo sent people to search for it for a whole week but they couldn't find you. They've already declared you missing. If you're still not found after a while, they'll list you as dead," Gu Yang said slowly.

These words were like a bomb to Lin Tan.

Without any hesitation, she refuted his statement: "Qin Mo could not possibly have declared himself missing."

Before her accident, although they had relaxed a little because of Huo Sinian's engagement, they remained vigilant.

If something happens to her, Qin Mo will definitely suspect Huo Sinian.

And they will definitely come looking for you.

“It doesn’t matter if you declare yourself missing, what matters is that no one will know where you are.” Gu Yang said, playing with her phone. “Whether you disappear or not makes no difference to the outside world.”

The moment the words left his mouth.

Lin Tan snatched Gu Yang's phone and distanced herself from him.

She entered the phone number without any hesitation.

"A cell phone is like a block of metal here, it's completely useless." Gu Yang wasn't in a hurry to grab it. "Signal jammers were set up here a long time ago."

Lin Tan looked at her phone.

That's true.

There was absolutely no signal.

"I advise you to stop overexerting yourself; a healthy body is the most important thing," Gu Yang said casually.

Lin Tan lowered her hand that was holding the phone.

Her mind raced.

But I couldn't think of a single solution.

The place was completely surrounded by Huo Sinian's bodyguards, like an iron barrel.

She couldn't get out, and she couldn't contact the outside world.

She tried to communicate with them, but they were all like programmed robots, not saying a word.

"Would it be convenient for us to chat?" Lin Tan turned her attention to Gu Yang.

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow: "What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Tan glanced at the bodyguards around her and followed him to a secluded spot.

As for the phone in her hand, Gu Yang took it back.

“You must have only started working for Huo Sinian in the last year or two,” Lin Tan analyzed calmly, not wanting to miss any opportunity that would benefit her. “As long as you let me go, I’ll give you double what he gives you.”

Gu Yang smiled.

Lin Tan: "I am Qin Mo's wife, I can afford any amount of money."

"I believe you," Gu Yang nodded.

“Name your price,” Lin Tan continued. “If you’re worried that we won’t pay you later, we can sign a long-term contract with you, stipulating how much we will pay you periodically.”

"It's very tempting," Gu Yang said with a smile.

Lin Tan seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Then you..."

Gu Yang looked at him with her narrow eyes: "But being attracted to someone often means danger."

Lin Tan: "I promise I won't mention a single word about you after I get out."

“It’s not that kind of danger.” Gu Yang sat down on a chair next to him, looking very relaxed. “If I agree to your request, Huo Sinian will hunt me down to the ends of the earth and kill me.”

"I can guarantee your safety." Lin Tan saw a glimmer of hope and kept persuading him, "As long as you help me identify him after you get out, he will definitely go to jail. Then he won't be able to threaten you, and we will strengthen our protection for you."

Gu Yang raised her index finger and shook it.

Lin Tan paused in her speech.

“You underestimate him. You can get him in today, but he’ll find countless ways to get out legally in a couple of days.” Gu Yang had been with Huo Sinian for so long that she knew his style very well.

“Even if he gets out, I will do everything in my power to protect you,” Lin Tan said.

"I'm sorry," Gu Yang refused, "I can't help you."

Lin Tan: "Why?"

Gu Yang: "I value my life."

Lin Tan frowned: "But if you help him do these things, you'll still be arrested once it's found out."

“If I help him, he’ll bail me out if something goes wrong,” Gu Yang said very directly. “But if I help you, he has a million ways to deal with the traitors.”

"Qin Mo also has countless ways to avenge me," Lin Tan hinted.

“That’s true.” Gu Yang smiled, only feeling that Lin Tan was too naive. “But there’s a fundamental difference between Qin Mo and Huo Sinian. Huo Sinian has no bottom line as much as your Qin Mo.”

Lin Tan tightened her grip.

The bodyguards wouldn't communicate with her, and the only one willing to talk to her couldn't be turned against her.

Is she really going to waste her time here?

Without network coverage, will Qin Mo be able to find her?

"Life here isn't as bad as you think. Living well is the most important thing," Gu Yang said.

Lin Tan didn't look at him again.

Gu Yang glanced at the time again and smiled, "He should be outside by now."

Lin Tan didn't move.

Gu Yang: "Do you want to come with me to pick him up?"

Lin Tan didn't even look at him.

"Do you have to treat me this differently?" Gu Yang joked with her. "You were talking non-stop to me just now, but now you're ignoring me. If you keep doing this, even if I change my mind later, I won't want to consider it anymore."

"Can you?" Lin Tan asked, knowing the answer all along.

"Who knows?" Gu Yang said casually.

"What? Who knows?" A familiar yet terrifying voice rang out from outside the door, followed by Huo Sinian walking in. He was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking as refined and gentle as ever.

"Who knows if she'll turn me against her and let me go?" Gu Yang stood up, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

Seeing how readily he admitted to the content of their conversation, Lin Tan knew that Gu Yang's path would not be easy.

Only a trusted confidant could speak to Huo Sinian like that.

It's impossible for a trusted confidant to be turned by an outsider.

"Then you'll definitely be thrown overboard to feed the sharks," Huo Sinian said to Gu Yang calmly.

Gu Yang: "Does it have to be so heartless?"

Huo Sinian: "You should be the one asking yourself this question: Why did you become a traitor?"

Gu Yang clicked her tongue, glanced at Lin Tan who was tense all over, and said no more: "Never mind, you two can chat slowly, I won't be a third wheel here."
