She only dared to plead to Gu Ning with her eyes.
But Gu Ning ignored her, pulling the sword from its sheath in his hand and suddenly stabbed towards the black-clad man behind Jing Shu.
This man in black was the key suspect of a series of murders, and today, this poetry gathering had already been completely surrounded by the people Gu Ning brought. He couldn't escape.
To save his life, he had no choice but to hold someone hostage to threaten Gu Ning and make an escape.
Seeing Gu Ning speaking to Jing Shu, the man in black naturally assumed Jing Shu was someone important to Gu Ning, so among the hundreds participating in the poetry gathering, he chose Jing Shu to threaten Gu Ning.
"If you don't want your beloved to die, then put down your sword immediately?"
Gu Ning sneered, "Heh, beloved? I don't even know her," because he didn't know Jing Shu's name, Gu Ning just felt he didn't know Jing Shu.
A rather curious thought process.
