Chapter 356

Gu Hanyuan watched her playing out her role-play,

along with all sorts of shameless lines.

Tsk tsk, is it over already?

It seems the fantasy was quite intense.

When Kang Min calmed her emotions,

"Ahem, is Lady Ma finished? May Gu disturb you for a moment?"

Gu Hanyuan coughed twice,

startling Kang Min so much that her eyes widened and she almost fainted.

It took a great effort for her to calm her heart, which had almost jumped out of her throat.

Kang Min steadied herself,

feeling that this voice was very familiar,

as if she had dreamed of it often recently.

Looking again, it was actually Gu Hanyuan, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

He even looked a bit more handsome than he had at Xingzilin.

The changes in Gu Hanyuan's appearance and temperament

brought Kang Min some pleasant surprise.

At this moment, her face was flushed,

and she was uncharacteristically ashamed.

She had previously fantasized about using her status as a widow to seduce Gu Hanyuan,

but she hadn't expected to be caught in such a scene.

It was difficult to maintain her persona any longer.

Kang Min suddenly thought of the intelligence reports,

which said Gu Hanyuan was surrounded by many beautiful women,

the most famous being Guo Fu and Yue Lingshan.

Clearly, he was not a man who didn't understand romance like Xiao Feng.

Kang Min believed her beauty was no worse than the green Guo Fu and Yue Lingshan.

And as the saying goes, "a woman is most charming in mourning."

Her status as a widow was definitely a plus.

She even believed that Gu Hanyuan had come to her door because he coveted her beauty,

and that his lack of response at Xingzilin was because he was wary of the public eye.

Although Kang Min felt it was a pity she couldn't pretend to be a "white lotus" to seduce Gu Hanyuan,

as long as she could conquer him,

the means were not important.

Since her true nature had already been exposed,

there was no need to worry so much.

Therefore, Kang Min did not cover herself,

and asked lazily:

"Young Master Gu, what is it that you are looking for me for?"

Gu Hanyuan, seeing Kang Min's feigned coquettish appearance,

knew exactly what she was thinking.

We are both thousand-year-old fox spirits; what kind of "Liaozhai" are you playing with me?

However, when dealing with someone like Kang Min,

one cannot let her have her way,

nor can one let her be disappointed.

This balance must be controlled well,

otherwise, she would sooner or later slip out of control.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan got straight to the point,

speaking coldly:

"Gu has some things that I need Lady Ma to do."

Kang Min was stunned.

Is this the time to talk about business?

She could only comfort herself

that Gu Hanyuan was just looking for a suitable excuse.

But was there something wrong with this demeanor?

That sense of inconsistency became even heavier.

She had to pretend to be curious and ask:

"Oh? Young Master Gu, is there something you need me to help with?"

"Gu needs you to use Ma Dayuan's death to pressure Xiao Feng, so that he will go to South Shaolin to cause trouble for Xuan Ci as soon as possible."

Gu Hanyuan's tone was icy.

Kang Min was startled by Gu Hanyuan's cold tone,

inexplicably shivering.

She had some realization of what the previous inconsistency was.

It turned out that what she had been seeing all along was just the surface.

However, this cold and domineering appearance of Gu Hanyuan made it even harder for Kang Min to restrain herself.

She subconsciously covered herself,

afraid that her loss of composure would be detected.

Kang Min, having recovered, realized that Gu Hanyuan had a request,

and immediately adopted a haughty posture,

saying slowly with seductive eyes:

"Why should I pressure Xiao Feng for you? I don't get anything out of it."

"Does Lady Ma think Gu doesn't know the truth about Ma Dayuan's death? Do you want me to capture Bai Shijing and bring him here?"

Gu Hanyuan sneered,

directly exposing her trump card.

Kang Min was terrified.

Something she had always thought was foolproof had been turned into a bargaining chip for a threat.

How could she not be panicked?

She could no longer maintain that calm appearance,

biting her thin lips and asking with a panicked look in her eyes:

"How did you know?"

Gu Hanyuan said with an indifferent expression:

"There is nothing in this world that Gu does not know."

Kang Min, hearing Gu Hanyuan say this,

had a strange expression on her face for a moment.

Kang Min had never thought about exposing Gu Hanyuan's true face.

Since she had already seen the tip of Gu Hanyuan's iceberg,

she wasn't stupid enough to think Gu Hanyuan wouldn't kill to silence her.

As long as she confirmed that Gu Hanyuan had no intention of killing her,

while Gu Hanyuan held her bargaining chip,

he also had a request of her.

This was the most suitable cooperative relationship.
