Gu Chenan looked at Hoshino Kannon, who was still standing in place, with disdain. He shook his head.
He had been quite afraid of Hoshino Kannon at first, since the original author had portrayed her as a pathologically obsessive madwoman.
Since she was obsessive, it meant she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Hoshino Kannon's recent behavior had already revealed her objective—she wanted him to fall for her!
When he realized this, Gu Chenan suddenly felt relieved.
She wants me to fall for her. Then not falling for her would achieve my goal.
According to her personality, she would definitely not secretly assassinate me before she had gotten me.
[What a waste. The girl looks quite good, just has some mental issues.], Gu Chenan thought with a grimace. Then he walked into the manor.
It was only after Gu Chenan had left that Hoshino Kannon finally reacted.
Her eyes narrowed, gritting her teeth furiously as she watched Gu Chenan's retreating figure.
Who has mental issues?
I'm crazy, got it? It's not mental issues!
...
...
Soon, a dejected Hoshino Kannon made her way back to Su City International Hotel.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, Lin Yu called.
"How did it go? Did you succeed?" Lin Yu asked eagerly.
Hoshino Kannon shook her head. "No."
"Why? Can't you overpower a scumbag like Gu Chenan with your skills?" There was a hint of accusation in Lin Yu's tone.
"It's not that." Hoshino Kannon shook her head. "I didn't make a move on him."
"What?!" Lin Yu exclaimed in shock, before questioning angrily, "What do you mean you didn't make a move on him?"
If it was because Hoshino Kannon had engaged Gu Chenan in combat but failed to defeat him, causing the plan to fail, Lin Yu wouldn't have been too angry. After all, he himself was already in Suhang and everything was going smoothly.
According to his plan, even if something went wrong on Hoshino Kannon's end, he could still kill Gu Chenan with Suhang's capabilities.
What he absolutely could not accept, however, was Hoshino Kannon not making a move on Gu Chenan at all.
The Tang Yunjin incident had left him with PTSD. He feared Hoshino Kannon would also leave him because of Gu Chenan.
Moreover, Hoshino Kannon was already in a bad mood after being mocked by Gu Chenan today. Hearing Lin Yu's accusatory tone, she retorted angrily,
"It's none of your business what I do! I'll kill him if I want, or I won't if I don't want to. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore!"
"It has nothing to do with me?" Lin Yu was taken aback, somewhat confused. But he did not give up and took a deep breath. "Kannon, don't forget you kidnapped Liu Mingrui before."
Hoshino Kannon's pupils instantly shrank as she laughed and asked, "Oh? So what?"
"So you should remember our deal," Lin Yu said flatly.
To tell the truth, Hoshino Kannon was not afraid of Lin Yu telling this matter to Liu Zhenshan at all.
She didn't even care. After all, she wasn't Chinese; if she was wanted, she could just run. The world was so big, Black Owl had branches everywhere, so she had nothing to worry about finding a place to go.
She had done all this purely out of curiosity about what kind of person Su Qianmo was, and also because she admired Lin Yu.
But it seemed Lin Yu did not realize this. He stubbornly believed Hoshino Kannon would listen to him because he held something over her.
So for Su Qianmo's safety, he had used threats to make Hoshino Kannon become Su Qianmo's bodyguard.
It could be said that this was a butterfly effect triggered by Gu Chenan.
In the original plot, after Hoshino Kannon finished kidnapping Liu Mingrui, Lin Yu did not use it to threaten her into doing anything improper. On the contrary, Lin Yu defended Hoshino Kannon in front of Liu Zhenshan multiple times, eventually clearing her of suspicion.
After seeing everything Lin Yu did for her, Hoshino Kannon's feelings toward him evolved from admiration into love, and she eventually fell deeply for him.
But sadly, Su Qianmo's change of heart towards Gu Chenan, caused by his gift, led to the current situation.
And Lin Yu believed this was all because Su Qianmo had no choice but to act this way in order to protect herself.
So for Su Qianmo's safety, he had threatened Hoshino Kannon into becoming her bodyguard.
Hoshino Kannon pursed her lips. "So you believe I became Su Qianmo's bodyguard because you threatened me?"
"Why else?"
Lin Yu was still angry that Hoshino Kannon hadn't made a move on Gu Chenan, so his tone was rather cold.
"Hehehe." Hoshino Kannon suddenly laughed behind her hand. "Then you guessed correctly. I did become her bodyguard because you have leverage over me."
Her sudden laughter made Lin Yu somewhat suspicious, but he did not think much of it in his fury.
He just nodded coldly. "Yes, since you know that, stop stalling and get rid of Gu Chenan quickly. Otherwise I will definitely let Liu Zhenshan know about the kidnapping." Then he immediately hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping of the disconnected call, Hoshino Kannon felt somewhat dejected.
She put away her phone, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Lin Yu, have you always seen me as a tool you can use?
Did you really think I would be afraid of your threats?
How laughable.
I used to admire you so much, yet I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.
You kept saying Gu Chenan was a scumbag full of dirty thoughts.
But what was the result?
He had no interest in me at all!
No matter how I tried to seduce him, he remained unaffected!
You kept saying Gu Chenan had taken Su Qianmo hostage, but actually the one she loves is you!
But what was the result?
From the moment I became Su Qianmo's bodyguard, I have never heard her mention you even once!
On the contrary!
The one Su Qianmo talks about every day is Gu Chenan!
I was the one who personally set off those fireworks and accompanied her to choose that car!
Was there even one truthful word coming from your mouth?
When I asked why you saved Liu Mingrui, you said it was not in your nature to watch someone die without helping.
How laughable. Mouthing righteous ideals on the surface, but actually only caring about fame and fortune!
You must have known early on that Liu Mingrui was Liu Zhenshan's daughter, which was why you saved her in order to build ties with the Liu family!
"Hehehe." Hoshino Kannon laughed mockingly at herself.
She turned to look in the direction of the Gu family. "But since I already promised to kill Gu Chenan for you, I will keep my word."
"Except now, killing Gu Chenan no longer has anything to do with you."
"This is my personal grudge with him now."
