Crimson showed no surprise and calmly said, "This is your best chance, or... have you been too idle lately and even forgotten about Su Yan?"

Lin Mushi remained silent.

Her eyes turned extremely cold, filled with immense anger, which she forcibly suppressed and did not vent.

Crimson continued, "You are very important to Gu Yuqiu, and I believe you feel that deep down, but please don't overestimate yourself, because she is ultimately a cold and ruthless person."

Lin Mushi raised her hand, and a cold wind began to rise in the room, swirling around her fingers.

"I told you, don't overestimate yourself."

Crimson sighed, "Even though I was injured by that white cat and my injuries haven't healed yet, it's not something you can provoke."

As she spoke, she gently tapped the table, making a soft sound.

As the sound subsided, the cold wind vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Crimson said, "Please don't interrupt me when I'm speaking, thank you."

"Then you go ahead."

Lin Mushi lowered her hand, stared into her eyes, and said in a slightly cold voice.

Crimson was very satisfied and continued, "Su Yan, or rather Wu Zui, will return to Xin Chu sooner or later, either in an avatar or in her true form, so your time is running out."

Lin Mushi remained silent.

Deep Red didn't care at all.

In her view, this was just an ignorant little girl who couldn't recognize her place for the time being and was unwilling to accept the cold reality, nothing more.

When the night is quiet and the little girl recalls the events of the day, she will know that the suggestion she is making now is the best opportunity.

Therefore, she continued to elaborate on her views.

"Gu Yuqiu is cold and ruthless, but it's rare for her to be gentle with you. This isn't because you're special, but because you're really lucky, that's all."

She looked at Lin Mushi and relentlessly criticized her, saying, "Do you want to regret your affectation for the rest of your life in the near future?"

Lin Mushi suddenly asked, "If I refuse your offer, will you regret it for the rest of your life?"

Crimson was somewhat surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to think of this."

I want your answer.

Lin Mushi said, "Please don't try to change the subject."

Crimson simply hummed in agreement, without denying it.

Because that is simply the truth.

She finally found an opportunity today, taking advantage of Gu Yuqiu's absence to visit Lin Mushi and propose a collaboration.

The purpose was to soften Gu Yuqiu's heart, using this as an opportunity to win the life-or-death battle later and kill the enemy who had brought her endless shame.

Lin Mushi looked at her and said, "I need to remind you of something: Gu Yuqiu may have the ability to read minds."

Crimson nodded and said, "You don't need to tell me, I've thought about this."

"Then you should also know..."

Lin Mushi said expressionlessly, "Given her personality, she would never accept someone else's arrangements; she would only feel disgust towards them. If I were you, I would never do that."

Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly, finding what she had just heard amusing, and asked with a light laugh, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lin Mushi shook her head slightly and said, "No, you are my senior, I didn't mean that."

Crimson looked at her with great interest and asked, "So what do you mean?"

"I just wanted to say..."

Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then said, "You seem a bit of an idiot."

The room was very quiet.

A stillness like that of death.

A pale red light began to surge in like a tide, covering the entire room in a very short time and draping everything in a twilight.

Or blood.

Lin Mushi looked at the scene before her, somewhat nervous but not at all panicked, and said, "If you could kill me, you would have already killed me just now, when I said you were a dwarf."

The deep red smile had long since vanished, replaced by an indifferent expression.

Lin Mushi seemed oblivious to everything and continued talking.

"But since you didn't kill me, whatever the reason, you have a reason why you couldn't kill me, so I don't need to be afraid of you. Of course I can call you an idiot. Besides, your suggestion is idiotic to begin with. Don't you realize that yourself?"

"Then why don't you take this opportunity to tattle on me to Gu Yuqiu and get back together with her?"

“If you’re just trying to mislead me, and you think this is what she means, then I can tell you that my stance on this matter is very firm.”

"Resolute?"

"No matter what the reason, she was wrong that night. No matter how much I care about her thoughts, I will not take the initiative to go back to her. She has to apologize to me. I will not take the initiative to go to her just because you give me an out."

"Is this a matter of dignity?"

"Yes, it's still a matter of principle. You can laugh at me all you want now."

Lin Mushi looked at her and said indifferently, "I'm not a smart person, maybe you and she like to call me an idiot, but I don't think there's anything wrong with being like this."

After hearing this, Crimson remained silent for a long time.

The bloodstains gradually dissipated.

Everything is as before.

She suddenly sighed, then began to clap her hands, praising, "You're no ordinary person to have caught her eye."

Chapter 96: Chapter Ninety-Five Two Gifts

Hearing this, Lin Mushi became even more puzzled.

In her mind, although Gu Yuqiu was very rich, an undeniably wealthy woman, and young and promising with a bright future, and had an excessively close relationship with that innocent empress, how could she be treated with such seriousness by Shen Hong?

She asked her question very directly.

"You already asked this before, and my answer won't change."

Crimson's tone was resolute, revealing nothing.

However, this sense of mystery and secrecy is precisely what is most tormenting, and it can easily make people angry.

For example, Lin Mushi now.

She stared into her deep red eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I'm very annoyed right now."

Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What's bothering you now? Are you perhaps thinking of reporting me to Lu Xiu?"

Lin Mushi simply hummed in agreement.

Although she has now left the Special Affairs Bureau and can let go of many responsibilities, she still can't help but think about these things and is willing to do her best.

Shen Hong smiled and said, "I think you should know that if you report me now, Lu Xiu will definitely be able to follow the clues and find Gu Yuqiu's shadow."

Lin Mushi remained silent.

If it weren't for this reason, she would have made up her mind to report it long ago, even if she was likely to be taken hostage or even killed in a fight to the death.

Crimson continued, "Actually, you really can do that."

Lin Mushi was not surprised to hear this, but she felt that it was a provocation and did not want to pay attention to it.

"Don't misunderstand me as me just teasing you out of boredom. This is true because I think she would like this kind of surprise."

Her deep red smile was mocking as she said, "After all, she's been living a peaceful life for too long. Even she must miss the past in the quiet of the night..."

Lin Mushi interrupted him directly, saying, "If that's all you have to say, then you can leave now."

Crimson's smile faded, and she said with a sigh, "I've finally become interested in chatting, but you're so unwelcoming."

Lin Mushi said expressionlessly, "The fact that I didn't directly report you is already a huge welcome."

"Ok."

Crimson stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door, saying, "You can think about my previous proposal for cooperation more carefully."

Lin Mushi didn't look at her and calmly said, "I've already rejected you."

Crimson said, "People's thoughts can change, and I know that all too well. You won't be an exception."

After saying this, she took out paper and pen from her pocket, left a phone number, and left.

……

……

On a cold winter morning, there were naturally few pedestrians on the street.

Unlike Gu Yuqiu, Lin Mushi comes from a single-parent family and her family background is quite ordinary.

Even though she was sensible from a young age and worked hard, achieving considerable success compared to her peers, she still faced many financial difficulties.

For example, the place she lives is half an hour away from the city center of Xinchu, and she used to spend a lot of time commuting every day.

For example, although she had a driver's license, she did not own a car—the original car belonged to the Special Affairs Bureau and was returned when she left the company.

Looking at the old buildings around her and the tall buildings in the distance, Crimson couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy as she pondered these things.

To be able to accept this kind of life after experiencing the joys that money brings is undoubtedly a remarkable thing.

She hadn't noticed these things before, but now, looking at them closely, she realized that her initial thoughts had indeed been rash and based on contempt.

Just as she was thinking this, something suddenly fell from the sky.

Crimson paused slightly, her expression suddenly turning cold.

She was undoubtedly a powerful figure at the time, and even though she is now seriously injured, her eyesight will not deteriorate, and she can still see what she needs to see.

Therefore, she could clearly see that the white things floating lightly in the air were scraps of paper.

The shredded paper had fresh ink stains that, when put together, formed a string of numbers.

It was the phone number she left for Lin Mushi.
